Why was Diamond is Unbreakable so upbeat and lively compared to all the other JoJo arcs?

Why was Diamond is Unbreakable so upbeat and lively compared to all the other JoJo arcs?

Small town murder mystery rather than traveling around the world, which also casted a small young cast of school kids. Its why JoJolion, which is also a small town mystery, feels different. Cast is older and MC has only one true ally.

Just a thought but isn't it based on araki's hometown? Araki seems like one of those guys that had fond memories of his hometown. Plus lets face it, Rohan Kishibe is his self-insert in the series

My read is it's because of Josuke's stand.
It's ability to nullify consequence makes the series upbeat where it might normally be tragic

Because the suffering and best arc is Stone Ocean, and you need two more upbeat sagas to prepare yourself for it

I still refuse that part and I will until I die.

Yes, and S-City is Sendai

Little bit of this. Okuyasu would have died numerous times over if not for Crazy Diamond

>I still refuse that part
Huh?

Because the second best Jojo, Josuke "Heal slut" Higashikata is son of best JoJo

because it has best jojo and best brojo

?

Because he tries something new in every Part so it doesn't get stale and he decided to do something lighthearted after DIO was finally dealt with. It's a refresher after the first 3, and also tricks you into thinking that 5 and 6 will be lighthearted too when they end up being the complete opposite and having some of the most upsetting deaths in the series outside of YOU KNOW WHO from 7.

You know who?

The guy introduced in the very first chapter who is super likeable but his last name instantly clues you in on the fact that he's going to die Gyro Zeppeli

Because every single fucking vampire is finally dead, happy sunshine time follows.

But the guy who sold a vampire his super arrows and that vampire's best buddy are still around.

Where's the gay priest when you need him?

Jotaro's death wasn't upsetting considering every one dies 5 minute later

Slice of life part that Araki looks back on with shame and then immediately switched the tone for the rest of the series to be much more dark

You guys ready for the 180 everyone's gonna pull on Part V once it gets animated?

Because it's a bunch of teenagers fucking around.

>upbeat and lively
Did you know? This is the oldschool definition of "gay".

Smaller scale, with more "filler" that isn't directly related to the darker main plot.

Better villain cast. Kira was around more than dio who was just bowser in a castle.
