I'm one thousand percent onboard with early JoJo until the breathing technique stuff is introduced. At that point it kind of loses me for a while.

Part 1 of Jojo is a fantastic weird Japanese written Victorian Horror story and if you didn't like it you don't deserve any of the rest of JoJo.

The art is loving awful though and only goes up to "tolerable" with Battle Tendency. Battle Tendency is also less clunky and coasts on having more charisma that's sorely lacking in Phantom Blood.

Hamon is mostly a convenient reason to punch vampires and make it count but was also not so overpowered that users can't be defeated by "aha but it was I who was behind you all along" until Joseph came along and he was far more genre savvy than his grandfather was.

Can someone who's a math major or higher help decipher the episode card for the latest episode of Build? The most I've gotten is that it involves the chromatic number for a planar graph and it's equal to 4. I assume it's in reference to the four color theorem, but my level of maths understanding goes up to what I can gather from google, wikipeida and wolframalpha with an actual maths education that goes up to DiffEq and Calculus 3.
Yes, it's a concise statement of the four colour theorem. It's saying the maximum value of chi(G) (the colouring number of a graph) over all possible planar graphs G is 4.

Anyway I'm gonna check out Build today, like I said. It totally passes my initial design aesthetic test.

A double sentai? Wow, that actually sounds really cool. I mean, they obviously have the budget for at least 12 sentai suits, so that's enough for two teams of 6.

Could it be that they're going to have two Sentai series running at the same time? Or alternating?

No way. Considering the diametrically opposed nature of the teams, there's no way they're not in the same series. This is new ground for Sentai, I think. Rider's had Rider vs Rider stuff for a while, but there's never been Sentai vs Sentai.

so, they can have the two teams interacting differently in and out of suits. i dunno about the rest, but that seems like a premise that could do a lot with secret identities.

Right? What's the actual bad guy going to be?

Alternatively, this would be hilarious:
It's from one team's perspective as "the protagonists", switching every other episode with 2 different OPs and everything, and it's sentai teams sending monsters after each other (robots from the cops, weird golems or something from the thieves).

Cop robots and stolen cop robots. Every other episode is the same as the last with a different team digitally edited over the other.

I can only hope that Lupinranger has dramatic, over-the-top heists.

I know it's supposed to be a pun on Patrol+Ranger but I can't see it as anything other than Duckranger.

It should've been Meitantei versus Kaitou, Detectives versus Thieves. Though, I guess Kamen Rider has the toku detective market cornered.

Regarding episode four of Build, I'm going to assume that we're supposed to think Boss is Blood Stark, which would mean that he actually isn't. Still, I really hope he is because that would be awesome.

I couldn't even think about it being Patrolranger until I read it. My brain refused to admit it could be something other than Duckranger.

So let's place bets, when is Dekaranger/Patoranger vs Gokaiger/Lupinranger happening?

I am guessing that Build hunting down Smash is a part of their experiments, and possibly Build himself. Sento did say that becoming Build was Boss's idea. It could be that...

1. Faust creates Smash and sets them loose.
2. Build takes care of and cures the Smash.
3. Faust takes notes of the resulting Smash performance to make better Smash and Build's own growth, if not for some other purpose, then to at least keep tabs on him while they figure out what to do. Basically, they are using Build as a way to clean up their messes.

Also, I half expected the wall to come down to reveal that Faust's base was literally next door to their lab.
