Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders episode 18 review
Joseph and the Polnareff gang buy a car in the United Arab Emirates, only to sell the super-expensive car for a bunch of camels and some water. That’s right, they’re going on camel-back through the desert. As Boston Rob once said, “this can’t end well.”
After some amusing antics with Joseph trying to get on a camel using tips from Lawrence of Arabia (“We Didn’t Start The Fire” check!), the boys get halfway out in the desert before they notice that the sun is still up at 8 pm at night. They figure out that the sun is a Stand, so they go into a foxhole to stay out of the heat.
They waste a lot of time there, not knowing what to do, before three of them (everyone but Joseph) breaks out in laughter. The Stand is simply a mirror, and once they shatter the mirror, it goes back to being night again. Let me know how this works, because this makes as little sense as some of the crap in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. How could the Stand be reflecting a sunny desert if it’s night out? I don’t get it.
In any case, this was a very funny episode, a very enjoyable one. Sure, it didn’t make much sense, but Jojo was never made to make much sense. It’s just supposed to be fun, and that’s what this episode was.
