Despite being the longest episode in the anime, Stardust Crusaders lands in the middle of the road when taking total manga chapters into account, though it still makes for a pretty long read.

Diamonds are unbreakable

Chapter: 174

Who would have guessed that a part of the story set in the small and sleepy town of Morioh could be so long? The truth is, Araki took his time when writing Diamonds are unbreakableDeciding to give readers a feel for the atmosphere first, rather than rushing them into action. As a result, many chapters are literally devoted to Josuke and his friends hanging out at the mall or messing around at their stands. At the same time, because the part spends so much time developing its side characters, including Rohan, who many see as a stand-in for Araki, it also tends to get longer.

Although the stakes in this particular part of the story don't feel very high for a good portion of it, once the quirky Yoshikage Kira makes his first appearance, the story kicks into high gear and starts to feel very familiar. However, this is still an episode that can be a bit difficult to re-read in its entirety due to how much material there is, although it does allow the cast of the episode to shine given how they all get to share the spotlight equally.
