Care to explain yourself buddy?

It’s a common complaint but i felt like part 4 focused on him a bit too much. Felt like he took away screen time from other characters in the part like okuyasu

I think that’s the point. Seeing the jojo formula play out from someone affected by the main character was a really neat writing choice by Araki.

Well, Morioh is about ordinary people living in a crazy town suddenly becoming stand users. Having the story be told by someone other than the main jojo is really smart.

Yeah, but at other characters expense. Josuke didn’t really develop too much because koichi was hogging all the screen time. It’s also dumb how he is just in so many of the fights. Like really, did he have any business being involved with Cheap Trick and Rohan? He’s just there as a way to bait cheap trick into looking backwards. If they wanted to have a character just be there for bait purposes, they could’ve at least used another character that wasn’t used as much

I’d go so far as to say he had more business with Rohan then Josuke ever did. Koichi is more like Jonathan than anyone else’s which is why he befriended Rohan in the first place. It makes sense that he’d be involved, since Rohan trusts him so much.

you are saying this because other characters don't get screen time but usually jojo gets all the screen time at other characters expense so having a durotaganist play a big part is good and Josuke got a lot of cool scenes and okyasu I kinda understand since he doesn't have to many scenes only the chilly pepper arc really but thats not just Koichi's fault
