One thing that strikes me as impressive with this fan video, given how seamless a lot of the video edits are, is that he must've only just made it. Skip to 3m43s once you've seen the latest episode and then watch for 3m47s. Most of the footage in the video came from much older episodes but that bit right there at 3m47s came from this week's episode, meaning this video wasn't finalized until only a few days ago. And given that it appeared on NicoNicoDouga and then on YouTube both on November 24 (yesterday, Saturday, the same day JJBA airs), that's pretty fucking impressive. Perhaps the guy had already made 95% of the video and just inserted a random scene from the latest episode? But like, why do that? If you assume he wasn't trying to psych people out and that he just made the video when he made it using the footage he had on hand at the time, including that scene, then it means that whoever made this video made it in the last 36 hours or so. Damn impressive imo.

Well, when I first heard it (pre-any posts tonight) I thought:
Spoiler: show But I didn't say anything 'cause I wanted to give it a second listen later and I was sure that that couldn't be right. Right now I'm taking a quick break on SAO Ep22 so it'll have to wait, but yeah, I'll check it out.

To comment on something earlier, BBB didn't read my spoiler and was genuinely surprised by Episode 9. I'll do my best to shut up about the big twists now that I know you two could be privy to stuff I don't know you're privy to.
On Dio and Jonathan, Spoiler: show

Hope you all like Battle Tendency.
I watched the episode already, it was everything I could have hoped for. It's a little less camp than Phantom Blood, but no less shocking than PB's finale. I'm most hopeful for BBB because he likes stuff like this. We'll see! I didn't see the new OP, though.

I think bbb's level of excitement and Doppel's level of suspense about our forecasted excitement combined to get my hopes up too high for this episode. I felt the episode was okay ... but not epic, nothing near as great as Episode 3 of the series was. It was good though, with loads of surprises that I was thankful weren't spoiled this time!.
Spoiler: show So yeah. It was a good episode. But ... not my favorite JJBA episode yet. That honor still belongs to Episode 3, I think.

Something I should make a note of - Kinoko Nasu and ZUN grew up reading Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and incorporated some of the ideas they liked from JJBA into their games. Some things are more obvious than others, but I'm not going to lampshade them because after the screenshot catastrophe even pointing in the right direction might be too much.
I will just say, though, that if you look at overlapping concepts between say ZUN/Nasu's work and Araki's, you may be able to infer correct analogies by comparing the relationships in the respective works. The truth about the guy in the rock- Spoiler: show Click the above either if a) you are confident in your theory or b) after that information is revealed in the anime. It'll be either next week or the week after. I didn't mention names or any story role.

Where did you learn that either ZUN or Nasu cared about JJBA? Is this a pet theory of yours based on perceived similarities, or is there an actual source you can link us to? I ask because it's kind of an odd pairing, ZUN and Kinoko Nasu. ^^; I don't normally think of Touhou and the Nasuverse in the same minute.
Really at a loss for how the guy in the You mention Nasu and it takes me in a slightly different direction. I immediately think of Arcueid Brunestud, locked in chains in Castle Brunestud on the moon, damned to an eternal (that ends up being not so eternal? ) slumber. So like, perhaps that's what the dude in the rock-tree is. Perhaps the Mayans/Aztecs/whomever created these stone masks that could turn people into vampires ... and perhaps that dude was like their chieftain (in which case he'd be like TYPE-MOON the character) or their top knight (in which case I guess he'd be more like Arcueid). So it could be that he's a nice guy ... but he sealed himself away, or was sealed away by allies, because he was struggling with his vampiric urges. Or something. But I doubt both theories. With regards to the latter, there's no reason really to expect that the guy is good. I would sooner think of him as a Roa than as an Arcueid, and I only consider the Arcueid angle because you say to consider the Nasuverse. With regards to the former, it seems sort of silly to me that he would be "the patron saint of all vampires." Clearly no one remembers who he is nor does the world seem to be running rampant with vampires who might worship the guy. And it seems kind of odd that the patron saint would be sealed away in stone while lesser beings, like Dio, get to run amok and wreak havoc on human villages with their amateur vampire powers. I'm probably way off base what you're trying to get me to think of but w/e. I'll find out next week. ^^; (Watch it be something like "the Hourai Elixir, Talon! DUUUUUUUUUUH~!" )

In the same sense, JJBA draws off of Hokuto no Ken, which was inspired by Hong Kong wuxia...and so on. Where there's an origin, there's a root! You'll recognize the Nasu/ZUN when you see it. It'll be really obvious.

Well okaaaaaaaaaaay, but this now sounds more like a case of you seeing a similarity between JJBA and Touhou/Nasuverse than of them directly drawing inspiration from JJBA. ^^;
As for the doujin community pulling ideas from other media all the time ... that's true, but that's because the vast majority (easily over 50% and probably more like 80%+) of paper doujinshi and still a large fraction of homemade CGs (10-20%) are parody works. Hyouka porn. Touhou porn. Kaiji porn. Maple Town porn. ;p (Yuki: Noooooooooo! ;-; ) And they absolutely will make references to other things in there, like ... I've seen several doujins where suddenly out of friggin' nowhere there's Fukumoto-style artwork in the final panel. NO EXPLANATION, no warning, just suddenly BAM!, Akagi/Kaiji/Fukube staring me in the face. Or like, speaking of Kaiji, there was one doujin I read once which was an original piece but which clearly was making references to Kaiji's Bog arc (the main character was a buxom woman named Ichijou; she worked for a mafia boss who bore some resemblence to Hyoudou; and in one cell there was a picture of one of the mafia underlings wheeling out the grill from the end of E-Card; beyond that, no other noted similarities). So on and so forth. But to say that Fate/stay night would lift elements straight off the pages of JJBA is ... well, I'll have to see it to believe it.

I watched the episode earlier, but I was too enamoured with the ice cream to remember to talk about it.
It's still good! Although I have some reservations about how certain members will take to certain things. We'll just have to see.

Finally got to see the latest episode. Umm ... ^^; ... very entertaining but yeah ...
Spoiler: show Doppel, do you suspect that this arc will end in about six more episodes, similar to the last one's pacing?

Spoiler: show It should be longer, by maybe 2-3 episodes. This fight was a lot shorter in the manga, but it was a lot clearer animated.

Surprisingly (?), MyAnimeList is reporting that JJBA is scheduled for 26 episodes. This could just be a typical case of people listing in the denominator the confirmed number of total episodes thus far and by no means be proof that JJBA is only going to be 26 episodes long ... but you'll note that they don't tend to do that for television adapations of long manga series. Like Hunter x Hunter. Or like Magi. Neither of these have a denominator value for their episode count. But JJBA does, and that number is 26. So I wonder ...
Story Arc 1: Episodes 1-9 Story Arc 2: Episodes 10-?? (perhaps 16 or 17?) Story Arc 3: Episodes ??-?? (perhaps 17 or 18 thru 26?) And then that's it. Animate us up through what is apparently the most famous arc ... and then re-license the rights to animate the series if it proves profitable. I wonder if that's David Animation's plan. Guess we'll see.

During commercial breaks, there's a segment where a guy named "Josuke" starts reading Shounen Jump manga, and it's meant as a promotional piece for the serial the original JJBA aired in. There is a "Josuke" in the current JJBA arc, Part VIII - Jojolion. The voice actor was confirmed to be the official CV for "Josuke", so it's safe to say that Part III will be animated at the very least, if not a bit further than that.
If I were to rank the parts, 7 > 3 > 2 > 1 > 4 > 6 > 5 Given that, after Stardust Crusaders I'm probably going to drop Jojo for like a year until SBR gets animated, then marathon the parts I didn't like so much.

Hnmmmm.
Btw, I do like the look of the new sidekick (?) in the OP. He looks like ... a good Dio? O_o But he looks like a lot of fun. And speaking of the new OP and stuff it hints at, ... Spoiler: show

Here's something curious.
This video is from 1980, and the young man is a 20-year old Araki Hirohiko. The main he meets at the beginning is none other than Osamu Tezuka! Araki was one of the rising stars of manga back when the community of manga-ka was so small, Araki got to meet the movers & shakers of the first and second generation of manga-ka at this small celebration. Quite remarkable, I'd say.
