The two head back to the conductor\u2019s train car as they search for the rest of the crew. Pesci remembered his intent to search underneath the seats, and while he fails to notice anything at first, Prosciutto finds his instincts to be spot-on. A dried-up piece of animal shit under the seat leads him to uncover where the turtle is hiding and exposing the gang, but Pesci senses that Bucciarati is missing. As Prosciutto prepares to attack, Bucciarati emerges from the ceiling, aided by one of the Sex Pistols, revealing that Mista is still just barely alive enough to help. The two proceed to exchange blows back and forth, with Bucciarati narrowly avoiding a potentially devastating attack, but then Prosciutto taunts him with an unfortunate fact: the fight has caused his body temperature to increase significantly, aging him past the point where any ice would help. However, our hero had a counter for this as, in an act of desperation, Bucciarati opens up a massive zipper in the side of the train car and proceeds to jump out of the moving train, dragging Prosciutto out with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s an oddly beautiful rhythm to the myriad of ways JoJo\u2019s Bizarre Adventure<\/em> escalates a fight. Every punch, every yell, every surprise reversal and twist has this great flow of action that always keeps the tension up. In particular, having to deal with the dueling natures of Pesci and Prosciutto as our heroes slowly get drawn out into battle one by one is something to behold. The dynamic of our two villains expands itself further and becomes the focal point of the episode\u2019s various action beats. As previously stated, their relationship bears a lot of similarities to the Nijimura brothers from part 4, but it\u2019s given a somewhat unique angle by having Prosciutto be a little bit more openly concerned about Pesci. It\u2019s evident primarily in the body language between the two, as there\u2019s a handful of moments where Prosciutto, when he\u2019s not kicking the shit out of Pesci, is gently rubbing his hands around his head trying to calm him down and get his head in the game. It\u2019s highly paternalistic in a sense, even using the aforementioned term \u201cmammoni\u201d quite a bit, like a father trying to soothe an easily flustered child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The constant presence of Grateful Dead\u2019s aging miasma is the permanent factor from scene to scene, establishing its powers as the toughest obstacle to deal with. The threat and capabilities are explored in multiple aspects, from Prosciutto\u2019s disguise to the presence of ice in every scene. It\u2019s a massive hurdle to deal with, especially considering Mista\u2019s near-death is only barely avoided because of a hidden ice cube (and the help of Sex Pistols, of course). <\/p>\n\n\n\n The production, as always, keeps the tension at its most nerve-wracking. The visualizations of the aged passengers sells the fear of their newfound weakness, only for that to be reversed when the elderly Prosciutto makes himself known and the visuals sell a more terrifying image. The shot composition during Mista\u2019s incapacitation pulls in deliberately close to share the horror of what has happened to him, aided by this fading wisp in the air around him and the building pool of blood. During the battle in the conductor\u2019s train car, the sound design goes particularly wild and over the top, as the audio fills up with clanking busted steel, bursts of wind from the rapid punches, and even the loud lion roars from Grateful Dead for that finishing touch of lethality. There\u2019s even a bit of cheeky playfulness as Sticky Fingers\u2019 abilities generate video game sound effects that deliberately evoke the \u201880s arcade era, like Pac-Man<\/em> for example. The episode leaves off on a particularly nail-biting cliffhanger, and I\u2019m looking forward to where it goes next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New\u00a0episodes\u00a0of\u00a0JoJo’s\u00a0Bizarre\u00a0Adventure:\u00a0Golden\u00a0Wind\u00a0premiere\u00a0every\u00a0Friday\u00a0and\u00a0can\u00a0be\u00a0streamed\u00a0exclusively\u00a0on\u00a0Crunchyroll.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I\u2019m told \u201cmammoni\u201d translates to \u201cmama\u2019s boy\u201d by the internet.
