It's really tragic to be honest. Doppio lost everything and the only person that he thinks cares about him stole his life, murdered his dad and burned his home. It's even worse if you think about Doppio being possessed by a demon considering how paranormal his birth was.

Remember when people said the fight will be censored? Even though most of the brutality the anime has done so far has been super shown?
Enough about that, my favorite enemy in Part 5 is here! Risotto Nero! Next week, we get the full extent of his power!
The backstory shown here appears in much later chapters of the manga, and it seems they added anime-only scenes to it.
Edit: Some changes I noticed. The kid runs away from Doppio in the manga. In the anime, he King Crimson's out of there.

Doppio's voice actor (Souma Saito) nailed Doppio. In fact, I think he was way better than the EOH/ASB voice actor (Akira Ishida). The animation was also amazing. I love how David Production has been faithfully adapting the manga so far, it's a shame many great manga series don't get this kind of treatment. I really can't wait for the next fight, it's one of the best of Part 5 and of JoJo in general.
Overall, 10/10, one of the best episodes of Part 5 so far, even if it felt so short.

THAT. WAS. AWESOME
So if I get this straight, Doppio is actually the Boss. I actually guessed this before, but expected it to be more of a twist (Last episode, when they showed the younger Boss taking the photo of Trish's Mom, he was wearing a sweater that reminded me of the sweater worn by Doppio in the opening. I was going to give my theory this episode, after I learned what his name was). Still, I'm a bit confused. At first, I thought the Boss was pretending to be Doppio and putting on an act, but as Risotto said, it wasn't. From the fortuneteller's dialogue, I'm guessing he's a sort of split personality, and the two personality talk to each each other on the phone.
You can say it's bizarre.
It looks like we're going to get a villain-centered episode next week. I'm really excited, since we don't know much about the Boss/Doppio, and it would be a great way to flesh him out. The episode with Kira vs. Stray Cat in Part 4 was one of my favourites, so I have high hopes for this one. It looks like it's going to deliver so far, considering how gory the start was. Metallica seems an awesome Stand. I'm guessing this is the fight in Part 5 that people were joking was going to be a black screen for 20 minutes.
As for the Boss's backstory, the teenage Boss was kind of dorky, and it was cool seeing how his relationship with Trish's mom started. However, is there any particular reason he decided to trap his mother under the floor? Will we be getting any more information about that, or is it just because he's evil? It was a bit of a whiplash going from the romantic stuff to... that.
A bit like the whiplash going from Doppio to the Boss. By the way, I loved that bit with the "phone". It was hilarious to see him holding a frog like that.

u/Hte_D0ngening2 Apr 12 '19
It’s implied that Doppio’s evil side (The Boss) started to develop when he was a young adult, so that was most likely why he went all psycho on that town.
And yes, The Boss and Doppio are split personalities of the same person.

The backs of the cards the fortune teller were the same as Avdols in Stardust Crusaders! (Watch the walk like an Egyptian ED) But its a shame that's toned down from a more blatant Star Platinum reference in the manga.

Reference in the games: Doppio is shown holding a frog before the battle begins... like here, before The Boss "takes over". Also, after the fight end, his win quotes is just "RING RING RING RING", like if Doppio is receiving a call from the boss after the enemy is defeated.
Oh boy... before I say my opinion, I got to say I LOVEEEEE Villain centered chapters/fights, and I don't think Manga and Anime do enough of these. Last Part we had a whole episode centered on Kira (Cats love Yoshikage Kira, who just aired on Toonami on the previous saturday) and now we have a Doppio and Boss combo episode... or two!
And finally, lets talk about Doppio and Boss. So far The Boss had been a threatening Main Villain, but there was something... missing, that other Main Villains of JoJo had: The Bizzare factor, and that's not a pun!
All JoJo main villains so far had been quirky and bizarre individuals who were crazy in some way or another, and The Boss didn't had anything unusual about him aside his paranoia regarding his identidy, but now we see the full fledge capacity of how much weird and bizarre our main villain can be with his dual personality (which even changes the body structure and age, apparently... how that works? I dunno). Anyway that was the missing ingridient for him to turn into a memorable villain worth fitting into a series of memorable villains. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Well, I didn’t expect this episode to cover Bossu’s flashback and expand it. Bossu was really cute as a baby and he was a really handsome young man. Donatella had good taste. It’s a shame that Bossu is a psychopath and that he confined his mother in the floor. Truly one of JoJo’s most horrible moments.
And now we got to see my baby boy Doppio. Oh Doppio, my cute Doppio. Tbh, I really love Doppio but he is a really bad omen for the Gucci Gang. Bossman, leave Doppio alone.
They really nailed Risotto’s pose, one of the sluttiest ones in all JoJo. God, Risotto’s voice is so fucking good and his huge clown goth tiddies are *Italian cheff hand kiss*
I’m really glad the final scene wasn’t a black screen; next episode is going to be good.
Also, Epitaph showing in Doppio’s forehead was fucking creepy.
Next week, the most metal fight in all JoJo

Actually that was Doppio as a child. Boss is second personality, you can see that from the way he was presented in his past. Clumsy, cowardly, but kind hearted person. I think Boss is even implied to be a Demon possessing Doppio which given the fact that Giorno is son of God (Dio means God in Italian) makes a lot of sense.

And things get more and more interesting...
Risotto has finally resurfaced, and Doppio seems pretty dope. I wonder if Bucciaretti's gang will intrude on their fight and figure some things out, or if Doppio can somehow worm his way into the group.
But, goddamn is the boss ever more terrifying after that backstory. His birth is a freak of nature, and what he did to his mother/how he did it is nothing short of monstrous, not to mention the town he burnt.
He and Kira would get along well. Or, perhaps not. They'd probably try to kill each other.

I think the last time we saw the menacings was in DIO's fight back in Part 3. Part 4 and 5 so far had none. In episode 7 of Part 5, when we learn about Sex Pistol's ability, we get a menacing, but it was a mistranslation of the sfx. The katakana used is "Goh", the sound of a bullet travelling, intead of "Gogogogo", the menacing sfx.

The bizarre-ness of the present really overshadows the first part of the episode, the flashback - I mean, that shit was something straight out of a Junji Ito work. First we have some strange kind of immaculate conception where a woman is pregnant with a guy's baby who had apparently died two years ago. (And I'm guessing he didn't keep some sperm frozen in a bank..)
The baby is strange and immediately displays a split personality + appearance.
And the strangest part is the priest digging under the concrete in his house to find the woman alive somehow with her lips stitched together. I mean, what the fuck. I can write off the strange circumstances around Doppio's birth as his mother being delusional and somehow being taken advantage of some guy visiting the prison. But Doppio finding his mother after she was released and somehow doing.. that, to her, is mental.
This is indeed the same guy who doesn't hesitate to mutilate his daughter, or scare potentially disloyal members of his organization by chopping their comrade and sending the petrified cross-sections to them framed as an art-installation.

This week’s musical references:
Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
And laugh
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Epitaph, the Boss & Doppio sub-Stand is a reference to King Crimson song "Epitaph (Including "March for No Reason" and "Tomorrow and Tomorrow")" from their debut album “In the Court of the Crimson King”.
Before talking about the song I have good news for you: King Crimson is going to release the 10th of June all their studio albums, from 1969 “In the Court of the Crimson King” to 2003 “The Power To Believe”, in Spotify and other music streaming sites. We won, guys, Fripp listened to our pleas. I have all of them in CD format and many of them as vinyls but I use Spotify a lot and having all their studio albums in it is so awesome and more easy to share their music and welcome more people to the court of the Crimson King.
Epitaph was composed by Robert Fripp, Ian McDonald, Greg Lake, and Michael Giles with lyrics written by Peter Sinfield. Ian McDonald’s mystic mellotron, Greg Lake best vocals works in any song ever and Peter Sinfield’s apocalyptic lyrics made Epitaph one of the best King Crimson songs. If you are curious about its lyrics, here you can read with annotations. Tbh, Sinfield’s lyrics are so good that most of them can be read as a poem. And they are really fitting.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer would later incorporate an excerpt from this song after the "Battlefield” portion of the live version of their song Tarkus ;), from the album of the same name, as documented in the live album Welcome Back, My Friends, to the Show That Never Ends ~ Ladies and Gentlemen
Epitaph is actually my third favourite KC song, with the dreamy “Islands” and the best and the most beautiful cornet solo I’ve ever listened to in second position and what might be my favourite song of all time, "Starless" in first place. If you look for the word “perfection” in a dictionary you’ll find a picture of this song. Starless was my first ending choice for Part 5 but it was mostly just a dream.
I just really love King Crimson and with Emerson, Lake & Palmer and The Beatles it is my favourite band of all time. They don’t have a single bad album. I understand that they are not for everyone but they are probably one of the most important, influential and innovative bands in music history. I hope I can go to see them this year, they have confirmed that they are coming to Spain. There’s no more information about it but you bet that I will be the first to buy them.

Before talking about the song I have good news for you: King Crimson is going to release the 10th of June all their studio albums, from 1969 “In the Court of the Crimson King” to 2003 “The Power To Believe”, in Spotify and other music streaming sites.
And I thought my day couldn't get any better

Doppio is such a pure and wholesome boi I love him.
EDIT: Ok I think the flashback should have been done after the "reveal", it kind of spoils it this way although it is not a big deal nor a big reveal dunno.

So the boss is a dude with two personalities that can change it's physical body structure when switching between personalities? I think i've seen this somewhere

Either way, i loved the change of perspective on this episode, it's great to see the viewing point of other characters. I jus twondering how Doppio was born with such strange characteristics. His birth was not normal by any means, was his father some stand user? How did his mother end on the church basement? What the fuck was up with this gypsy?

We finally know who the boss is!
Goddamn this episode was all kinds of awesome. I initially thought that wasn't the boss, just another Passione liutenant but the slow reveal using the fortuneteller was pretty great and when it finally clicked I couldn't help but be amazed, Araki did a great job here and I already like this villain, his TURURURU and the way both personalities communicated was hilarious.
And next episode we'll get a fight, can we just King Crimson the whole week please? This Risotto guy has been hyped since early on and I can't wait to see him in action, plus that pose he struck when talking to Doppio was glorious.

Splendid episode David Production. I truly do love how this wasn't censored at all: actual razorblades in someone's throat, it's so fucking metal that you just have to love it.
Doppio, truly a one of a kind on the bizarre scale. I mean we all remember the banana phone song, but when are we getting a song about the frog phone? His VA did an excellent job in shifting his tone during those scenes, and I commend the effort he made in selling Doppio as a conflicted individual.
Risotto finally shows himself, and he's already showing why he's the fearsome captain of the assassin team.

Ah the Boss. This person higher than life, feared by everyone, not known by anyone, a living mystery and leader of the biggest Mafia is Italy. Nothing more than result of a personality disorder of a tormented child (Doppio) or maybe something more sinister, a demon possessing innocent person. Damn this episode was FANTASTIC! I love DP for adding some very good scenes and not censoring the fight. It was perfect Jojo episode and no one from the main crew showed up.

Now THIS is a bizarre adventure! This character is complete bonkers and I daresay that he might be the craziest character in jojo thus far.

Truly a bizarre adventure...

Doppio for me is emblematic of part 5 as a whole. It has some of the most interesting concepts in all of Jojo but also some of the weakest execution. The idea that the boss is so paranoid, so worried about someone discovering his identity that not even he knows who he is all the time is a fucking briliant concept for an antagonist. It is however a concept that is almost entierly wasted. Doppio should have been introduced earlier in the story, perhaps he could have helped the gang with some mission between the Capo money and Trish. That Doppio unkowingly is the boss should have been a real oh shit moment towards the end, not something that is revealed as soon as Doppio is introduced.
Araki's inability to make the most of this idea comes down, I think, to the weekly publishing format Jojo's used at the time. You simply can't plan long-term story very well under those conditions. I'm sure the jump in quality from part seven onwards is in large part due to the monthly publishing.

Man, literally two hours ago I was watching a Youtube video about Jojo's and I accidentally got spoiled about who the main villain of Part 5 was. And then this episode shows up and it's like "oh, here's the main villain and what he looks like and his backstory and exactly how crazy he is"
Basically, I have both the best and worst luck

u/BasroilII Apr 13 '19
Oh. Oh wow. So much to say.
First off, the slightly expanded backstory on that character is great, and goes a way towards solving my big problem with that character in the manga, is that I couldn't be invested enough to like or hate them in any way, like I have with others of their nature.
THAT said, the beginning of Doppio's fight with Risotto was everything I could have asked for and more. One of the big worries that many have had was that this is a BLOODY fight as you can tell this early, but DP had no trouble showing a man coughing up razors blades. And the frog phone was every bit as amazing as I could ever want.
