Even though it feels like not much happened in this episode, we actually learned a lot of things here. A lot of very important things, both about plot and characters. Such as:
- Kira owned another set of the bow and arrow. So yeah…another bow and arrow.
- Kira is even creepier and weird because he has an immense obsession with hands and his own fingernails, so much that he measures how long they grow and even keeps a log, writing down each measurement for each finger…and he’s been doing this for 15 years.
- Apparently the length of his nails determines his mood, for killing.
- We finally see how the new Kira looks and where he lives.
- Kira’s father is a ghost and took the arrow away.
Most of it was about Kira, of course. After the events of last episode, the boys immediately head over to Kira’s house to find out anything about him, anything personal that could possibly lead them to him, like a hobby. Cue the strange nail hobby…if you can even call it that. With his obsession of hands, it’s more like a kink. Ew. Anyways, Kira was always a person that never stood out. He has trophies of different things, but they were always 3rd place, never first. He’s not particularly the best at anything, but he did that on purpose. By not standing out, he was able to commit his crimes easily. He made himself to look like such a normal person, but with no significant other, now with no family as both his parents had passed away. He kept himself secluded and hidden. The quiet life he always wanted, until Josuke and the others came around.
We have a quick battle. Kira’s father is actually still around as a ghost, and he attempts to kill Josuke and Jotaro when they were in the room. He controls a polaroid camera, and whatever picture he takes, he can control what’s in it, he can only be seen in the picture and not in front of them like Reimi. But Jotaro remains calm and cool as usual and traps Kira’s father in a photo of nothingness and he folds the photo in half, tapes it, and stick it on a beam with a tack, so he can’t escape.
The reason why Kira’s father would attack them is because there’s probably something there in the house he doesn’t want them to find. And there is. The bow and arrow. Exactly how many are there and how are they made, who knows. But somehow Kira had the possession of one. But I guess that’s how there were so many Stand users under Dio’s rule in Stardust Crusaders, because honestly there were way too much of them. Well, Kira’s father was freaking out and tried to make it sound like he wasn’t breathing. Okuyasu was ultimately the one who was fooled…again. *sigh* After putting extra tacks on him, Kira’s father acted like he had gotten away through the wooden beam. But if Okuyasu had actually payed attention to what everyone was saying, he would have known that Kira’s father can only move through the photo. They opened the photo and he used the string of his clothes to grab the arrow from Josuke, attach himself to a bird outside, and escape.
Now we have questions, like how he was able to get this bow and arrow in the first place. Also, they’re going to have trouble finding Kira’s father now. Kira’s father is just as evil as his son, as he knew his son enjoyed killing women ever since he was young. But because that made him happy, his father supported him. We don’t know whether the mother knew about this and also kept quiet about it, but I’m just going to have to say no because Jojo mothers are always innocent.
Speaking of mothers, I guess now we can say that Kira is “married”. He takes on the name Kosaku Kawajiri, and his wife is Shinobu, and his son Hayato. We see that before they didn’t seem to have the best family dynamic, like Hayato ignoring his mother, and Shinobu outright saying that she was never in love with her husband. But now she can see the change in her husband. Because this is Kira. Now, how is Kira going to act in this completely new lifestyle? How is he going to adjust with people constantly in his house? Will the family dynamic change? We’ll just have to see.
Next week, we’re going to watch Rohan harrass children. 🙂 The adventure continues.
