I find Part 4 to be rather interesting as it's the most down to earth feeling out of all the parts. It's not some badass doing badass things on a badass adventure like the previous parts (not that that's a bad thing simply the change in pace is nice). Part 4 to me seems the most relatable. Josuke is a great protagonist as he's just as cool and badass as the other JoJos, yet he has character flaws and isn't perfect. He will get blinded by anger, and make stupid mistakes. He'll do things out of greed or jealousy but overall is still a good person and friend. I love that the plot isn't trying to save the world, but simply teenagers trying to play hero in their local neighborhood. Part 4 has more allies than any other part, and Josuke is the protagonist with the smallest kill record (the only enemy he actually killed was a rat). I feel Araki did a great job of making a protagonist who was "pure of heart" yet still someone the average person could relate to. In terms of Stands I felt they were good. I prefer super complicated or OP Stands (like most from Part 5) but I felt the simple, one trick Stands matched the easy going theme well. Part 4 also has some of the most interesting side characters, however many are unfortunately under utilized due to the sheer amount of them. I believe 4 to better than 3 overall, the only thing I liked more in 3 was its setting(s). Part 4 is my third favorite part with Part 3 being my fifth.
