Kakyoin's Theme (Noble Pope) - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders [Piano]

Noble Pope (Kakyoin’s Theme) is a JoJo soundtrack which you might have overlooked at the beginning but once you listen to it, it gets better every time. And before you even realized it, it has entered your top 3 favorite OST list from JoJo Part 3. Or at least, that’s what has happened to me.

This arrangement was made as a direct reference to the JoJo Part 3 Anime in Episode 46. In the final battle against DIO, Kakyoin has suffered a fatal blow and in his final moments, he gathered all his strength to deliver one last EMERALD SPLASH to help his allies. The arrangement was structured exactly with this scenery in the second half.

In 1:47, Kakyoin is revealing his Hierophant Barrier in order to trap DIO, followed up by an EMERALD SPLASH barrage in 2:01. The music is doing the same thing: The glissando in 1:47 is introducing the big climax and the three-hand-technique is appearing as well. However, Kakyoin was suddenly fatally wounded in 2:14 and the music immediately dies off, lamenting his fate.

And finally, in 2:28 the piano is playing the main theme again in the faintest pp possible, with Kakyoin barely hanging on his life. The music is slowly disappearing - only to come back one last time with a bang in 02:46. The music is building up the tension dramatically, rising to an impossibly loud fortissimo to represent the final EMERALD SPLASH - 2:53
and then everything blacks out. 3:02

Before I forget, I also included a little bit of Jotaro’s Theme in 1:19. Did you noticed that while listening? I was imagining Jotaro acting as backup during Kakoyins Fight. He is just waiting calmly in the background… menacingly… for his revenge on DIO. ゴゴゴゴゴ

Well, that’s it then! I hope you like this kind of story-telling video descriptions once in a while! This was “Animenz Explains” for today’s video and next week, I am going to upload a piano arrangement from JoJo Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable!
The JoJo Hype Train continues, see you next week again!
