The New Jojo Thread

Long Watch Begins Edition

So, what are you hoping for from the upcoming live action movie? When do you reckon we'll get Part 5 animated?

it will be cringe like almost every live action movies japan makes

winter season 2017

Pic related, huh. I guess that counts.

I'm hoping it's a either a continuation story after Part 4 with new things happening or just an alternate universe sort of thing with it's own story. If it tries to be a direct adaptation then I don't think it'll work out well. They'd have to cut a lot of corners and cram a lot of junk in quickly.

Hopefully by summer.

Anyone else seen this video? Pretty good analysis of Dio's mindset.

Sorry to "shill". Just a big file to convert to mp4.

Late 2017, release mid 2018, although I don't think they'd schedule the release in the same season as 4's.

You'd be shilling even if it were an mp4 or webm.

Also the movie will be shit.

Just can't win here.

I kinda want the anime to stop, I've wanted it to stop for a while now actually, mostly because it's going exactly how I predicted; instead of supplementing the manga with bringing panels to life, it just animates the manga and the memorable panels are brought back as stills, which is sometimes fine, but I wanted to see them in action leading up to the still like the had been doing. Josuke and Okuyasu's run wasn't even that big a deal, but it was traced over and given lip flaps, and that's it, nothing special. It peaked in late part 3 and then from the DIO fight to now it's just been getting worse.
It's just giving the anime only fags more reasons not to read even though they're doing small retcons here and there that shits all over the original readers; it helps when it's plot relevant, but in general the anime only fags will just see that as the anime being furthermore a superior version, even though the anime lost the charm a little after part 2. It got the charm back of course, but it dropped it for good now.
I just want the normalfags to stop pretending that they like something for reasons other than it being popular at the time, because if they did actually like it they'd fucking WRYYYYYYYD. Even with berserk being 347 chapters long, I got interested in it and said fuck it, I'll read all that shit, and it took me 3 days to read the entire thing. Jojo's substantially longer of course, but if you say you like something you should at least invest some time in it.
Threadly Reminder that if you think PB is shit you're a fag who needs to leave.

It's like a bad motion comic I agree. I don't want the anime adaptations to end. I just want a more competent studio to do them. I am reading the manga for Part 5 right now but I just can't stand Araki's art. His backgrounds are good but his character positioning and use of shadows makes things hard to look at. I've seen how bad the art gets in the manga. It's bad. But it at least has a novelty to it that can be appreciated. While the anime just has a mix of bad to okay art. But at least the positioning of characters is a little better to look at. I don't know where I'm going with this. Basically both the anime and the manga have their weaknesses. The anime should have more strengths to it but just doesn't because of poor direction.

Part V is just generally shit, part 6 does a lot better in all the regards you mentioned part V lacked.

Can I at least say it's a weaker Part?

Par for course for animu, but that doesn't really excuse it.

Every cuckventure time character is shit, user.

5 is one of my favorite part. Part 6 might be better art wise but it's still a bad part.

You can definitely say it's shorter, but it's near the prime of Jojo's charms.

Spoiler that shit

Eh? No, man, it's the height of Fist of the North Star's charms, but not Jojo's.

By your logic, Fist of the North Star's was the height of Mad Max's charms, from the first issue onward.

It's called inspiration.

You're missing the point. I think the other user means that Phantom Blood is too far from what Jojo became. It's more FotNS and less Jojo. Thus it has the charm of that series but not the charm of this series.

Well it was the beginning

It will be alright, but nothing to write home about it. The asshurt from fans who take things a bit too seriously though will be insane. Hopefully tumblr will stay away form this one but we all know they'll gifset the whole movie.
2018 Q1 tops, Japs love them some Camorristi Napoletani.

Look, I actually like Phantom Blood's aesthetic and the good thing I can say about the anime adaptation of Part 4 is that they somehow find a compromise between the two different artstyle to the point that I liked it..but fuck me, if I hated the art style post DiU. Didn't help that for some reason, the new artstyle made Jotaro in Part 6 looked younger than he was when he's a damn highschooler.

Post Part 4 is a mixed bag. I liked Part 5's art better and the art transition felt less messy. Part 6 is…. also a mixed bag. Araki made some characters look way too young. Like Jotaro and DIO. Part 7 artstyle is the best looking out of them all. Part 8 goes down again but it's not Part 6 or beginning part 4 bad.

I think Jolyne Cujoh is hot.

I think you should kill yourself Dilbert. :^)

Eh, each has there charm

Mah nigga.

...

Hello lads
I just finished watching the anime, straight from phantom blood.
I have downloaded the first volume of Aureo Vento, could anyone please tell me what I should expect?
Also, I think Johnathan is best JoJo, because he's more swole than Giorno and Josuke and Okuyasu combined, and doesn't afraid of anything

Gangstar Jesus fighting the Devil with multiple personality disorder. Also fighting gay mobsters with his fabulous crew of screwups that can't stop getting hurt really fucking bad. It's great.

(Check em')
Damn

I will expect nothing and yet will still be disappointed
Read nigga, read

>Not Mai Waifu FF
>Not True Best Girl Holly
I came here to Kak at you

What do you think? DP will keep their promise and deliver a Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe or Rohan at the Louvre spin-off OVA?
sorry if double post, the board won't let me post

We need more JoJo in Western Comic covers.

...

I had a list which detailed which comic covers inspired these (with the artist names), but looks like i just lost it… Sorry for that…

It's OK. I think I can recognize which covers these originally are.

I'm dying

I've read up to Talking Heads. Move faster, translator.

Haven't the translations finished a long time ago?

NOT THE GOOD ONES

God dammit Araki, "Blue Hawaii" is the worst possible stand name you could have chosen.

I just saw the pages… i feel your pain user…

This post is a shitpost.

The new JoJo villain is Holla Forums:
"Humans… they're "happy" when they're trying to overcome something. Even for someone like me… Someone fortunate enough to be born as the eldest son of a wealthy family, I need to keep climbing higher… Or I will never be 'happy'. It's all relative. Because the point we're born at is zero for us. And people have to go upward…"

Jobin is not the villain, I wish people would drop this stupid theory already.

If you start a discourse about philosophy then you will end up as a villain. It worked for other jojo villains so far…
Plus it would be a fucking time to have an antagonist

...

I like your idea, but i doubt about it…

whyzat?

some of the english names they use slides of the tongue better in japanese

BITE THE DUST is BITE ZA DUSTO for instance, which sounds much better as a battle-cry

There he goes again, lads.

...

The final villain for part 8 is either Flashback Man or a combination of two people, which may or may not include Jobin. But just plain-ol Jobin isn't the villain.

That'd be so fucking cheap that it has to be what happens.

Because it's just a bad name, also because it should have been Thriller instead.

"Blue Hawaii" easily takes the spot of worst stand name in the series, followed by Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure.

thriller would be a bit too obvious, blue hawaii is obviously a reference to the "blue lagoon" Jobin baits the pond dude with, and sounds more like the stand of the happy go-lucky pretty boy he was before he ran into a transformer

also, I really like the face-grinding going on, excellent way of showing how mindless the stand renders the victim and a general good sort of body-horror

The connection to blue lagoon is really forced, it just doesn't fit at all.

I'm just disappointed. I could live with the bad design of the stand because its power is awesome, but bad design plus bad name is a dealbreaker. I really wanted to like this one.

Now I'm curious as to what it looks like.

It was already showed…
jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Blue_Hawaii


If you google "blue hawaii lyrics" it drop an elvis songs. Which is pretty cool if you ask me…

Feel stupid, I also just realized Yasuho isn't just a koichi esque sidekick/love interest, she's also somewhat similar to Shinobu from pt.4

so she's actually a shinobu + koichi sidekick

I mean for someone to post a picture. I don't read part 8.

Here you go


I know it's an Elvis reference, but it's still awful. Call it Hound Dog or Puppet on a String or something that actually refers to the power and the design, or even Blue Moon. Practically anything else he did would have made a better reference than stupid ass "Blue Hawaii"

Thank

Let's be honest this isn't the first time when this shit happens… See Surface, Survivor etc… etc…

Don't stone me for this, but on jojo reddit many people think she will die like Abbacchio…
Is that possible from Araki?

He has repeated concepts before. But what makes them think that?

wut?

the dad is 100x more likely to die than anyone, or he'll pull a pt.4 and nobody really plot relevant will die

I didn't have a problem with Surface or Survivor, I can only think of two stands with names that stand out to me as being bad choices and it's Blue Hawaii and Boku wo Rhythm. Blue Hawaii just doesn't fit in any way, and Boku was an ok song choice but putting the Stand name in Japanese felt really out of place.

Boy II Man was also pretty bad, just overall.


The people on the Jojo subreddit are idiots. Nothing is going to happen to Yasuho, there isn't a large enough main cast for Araki to kill someone off. In part 5 the main group was a bunch of people but in part 8 its just Josuke and Yasuho with the occasional guest, and Josuke is usually on his own anyway.

speaking of /r/jojo, is it just me or does Jojo does not fit in at all with these new era of memes? not that jojo HTTF WRRRRRY spam was the height of intellectual comedy in 2005, but all these jojo jokes are fucking terrible

The whole setup for the tooth. I kinda agree with them… Going everything simple and right would be too easy…

I don't know… many of the family members aren't used much. And Yasuho was not seen since… 2015?

people don't normally start dying off until the main villain is introduced/set up

in any case, there's little to no chance of yasuho dying in this part, much less to blue hawaii

I think milf jolyne might possibly die, probably to protect a child

So it's just gonna keep going on without any real consequence since there's still no damn villain….

What has Araki been smoking to think this is a good idea?

That's why Araki won't bother killing any of them off. They have so little presence that he can't afford to get rid of them, because Josuke can't carry the part on his own.

I don't get this angst over the villain in part 8. It's pretty obvious that it's going to be either Flashback Man or a combination of two people. Part 8 is about solving mysteries, not hunting one specific guy down and kicking his ass like 3, 4, and 5.

It's been going on for years on there's still no clear central conflict. You can have mystery solving but you need to build up a bad guy and central plot eventually to keep people coming back.

Sadly that was ruined when they gave a flashback explaining how the two characters merged together and what they did to obtain the fruit.

atm we're at the point where the next villain could come up with each issue, calm down

Araki is very aware of the fact that people can read a 10 year long jojo part in a day.

Empty promises from an user with no basis to back it up with doesn't help anything. Part 8 is trash that's just dragging on and on forever for no reason. Fuck Araki for making this part and fuck those that still shill for it like it's some amazing godsend.

nigger he's been doing this longer than you've been born

or do you really think he'll do a press conference announcing he's been stringing along innocent readers for money or something and commit sudoku?

You're missing the point of what I'm saying. The other user is just making excuses and saying "oh this will happen eventually soon" without any reasoning behind it. Araki is clearly stringing people along for a boring ride that he doesn't know what to do with. The sooner people realize this, the sooner we can get him back on track to making good parts again.

ok are you gonna send him letters in japanese telling him what he should be doing?

It's that time again.

polite sage for repost, updated list.

What am I looking at?

Normalfags ruin everything.
Note how every successful jojo meme was coined by manga readers or from the fighting game.
The anime was a mistake because it lowered the barrier of entry to the point where Reddit shitheels could watch it and make shitty memes like the To Be Continued and Le Koichi pose may may.
Then you have the rainbow hairs over at Tumblr insisting that every character is either a fag or "Trans". they then draw cringy fan art of Joseph railroading Caesar up the pooper and drawing Hermes, a Hispanic woman, as the most thugged out nigger imaginable. The eternal normie ruins everything worthwhile. I'm just waiting for the clear sign of the end, when Jojo gets name dropped on Le Big Bazinga Theory

Shadow Dio has best fashion for his appearances. Except that one time where araki thought he was drawing kaky
I actually might change that too because I'm less edgy now and don't know if I still like S.DIO's look as day clothes. Maybe Part one Dio, or Pucci.

How does that "ruin" anything? There's a lot of questions we still don't have answers to.

There's a mysterious organization of rock people who are making money off a magic fruit which Josuke has decided to cure Holly with. Seems like a pretty clear central conflict to me, we just don't know who Damo reports to.

Terrible taste detected, 8 is one of the best parts so far. The only thing that would screw it up is if Araki ended it any time soon, as long as he keeps the current pace it'll be fantastic.

...

Yeah, you heard it here guys, go out and buy the latest issue of Jump™

Every part is great in their own way, there is no objectively bad part of Jojo. There are weak parts, such as part one and the majority of part three, but no objectively bad ones.
The same applies to the Jojos themselves, they are all good in their own way
The only thing that gets "shilled" is Giorno

BUY CUP NOODLES TODAY

Part 6 and 8 are by far the weakest parts I've seen so far.

People have their favorites.

Ehhh, six wasn't too bad.
It had some good stands, like weather report and diver down and the entire whitesnake line.
I enjoyed all the fights with Dio's kids.
Jolyne is near the bottom on my list of favorite Jojos and the crew can't even hold a candle to Parts three or five in terms of group dynamics. The ending left a bad taste in my mouth, but then again who didn't get that. Pucci is a mid tier villain, not as good as say, Funny Valentine. But not as bad as Part one Dio or Diavolo
Nice digits, btw

My biggest criticism is the of course the group dynamic and the over powered stands. Part 5's probably one of my favorite parts but even they suffer from both sometimes. Part 6 was really messy though. I don't know how I feel about the DIO retcons when he's so much more maniacal in Part 3 but is shown to be so much more calm and normal around Pucci in 6. Just feels like there's a bit of a disconnection there.

Also right back at ya.

My biggest gripe about part six is that most of the stands just weren't memorable, it really felt like a return to the bland stands of early part three.
I remember Gwess and then there are big gaps where I get hazy memories of the other stuff.
I remember the An Hero stand because the premise made me laugh. I remember Limp Bizket (or however you spell it) because it was the defining moment of Hermes' character arc. I remember the gambling stand reusing D'arby's "Good!" for the third time. Then I remember Jailhouse Rock because I liked the way the user looked. Most of these are not in chronological order, this should tell you something

Really all in all part 6 is just poor execution. You can find enjoyment in it but there's just some halfassed moments and developments that make you question what happened for it to devolve into this state.

I thought the stands were cool, but the plot was a mess and the lack of a cohesive group dynamic really hurt the part overall. Jolyne/Hermes/FF had a bit of the girl power trio thing going for awhile but it didn't last or really go anywhere.

And then the terrible ending.

Reminder that Catalunya was raped by a fat capitalist pig

Literally everyone in part 8 was musing about shit they don't understand, Jobin looks nothing like the guy from the flashbacks either and we still don't know who the New Guinea guys are.

I'd say she's more of a Koichi + Hayato kinda person. The name and the sidekick vibes from the first and the unhappy family and being pulled into unrelated shit like the second.

The iconic HTTF combo in stick figures format was funny because it was something that just a clique within a clique within a clique could enjoy, you had to be:
Which back then took a lot out of you, be it because of the slow connection speeds and the general internet population wasn't speaking just 3 out of a billion different languages. Communities rose, created memes which invaded other communities until there was a sort of sense of being part of the internet within being part of your subculture. YTMND is often compared as an ancestor to all the meme shit we see today, but while YTMND produced shit also, it was GOOD shit that you couldn't understand if you just used a search engine within an attosecond of finding it.
Nowadays it doesn't fucking matter where you are, because the majority of forums are either dead or populated by the same people that populate social media. People say that some particular shows or concepts are "Entry Level", but they don't understand that literally everything has become Entry Level the moment you gave morons who don't appreciate shit as much as you do with your own autistic tastes the ability to collect information of anything and everything, then made such places full of unbearable faggots and primadonnas who can't understand that their life is not whatever the shit they do on the internet.

No need to worry about that, at least. It's been off the air for what, a year?


Pucci rocks the priestly look, I'll give you that.

He's also fairly interesting so far, and I like how Whitesnake is pretty much the darker parts of his personality brought to life.


Well his home was under attack at the time.

So… why is the SC dub taking so long?

Goddamn foreigners fucking up my sad castle…

I'm pretty sure they canceled it after such poor reception.

There is a severe lack of porn of Josuke's mom.

I agree with this notion, Joseph.

Correction: the rest of the series is too far from what JoJo was. No pillar-men. No hamon. No vampirism. It might as well have been a spinoff.

It was just Fist of the North Star with vampires, originally. The direction it took from 3 onwards was much more interesting.

Including part 2?

Joseph please…
Post more you demented faggot

I am glad the artist decided to portray Jotaro deep in thought about the marine wildlife and with his hat still on, it's touches like this that separate the porn addicts to the patricians with artistic skills.

No, that was FOTNS but with Ancient Rock people and vampires.

I'm too lazy but I feel like choosing one panel to kvetch about.
For least favorite stand I definitely have to say Civil War from part 7, it was a fucking mess of a stand that made no sense. Feel guilty? GET HIT BY CELLOPHANE but its okay it just washes off BUT ITS REAL POWER IS THAT IF YOU KILL HIM HE COMES BACK TO LIFE but then if you kill him and make him feel guilty it turns out you can come back and then kill him for good even though his stand is reanimating youFUCK
I just really did not like Civil War.

so I guess it's MIA from batoto, but is there another place to read it? I'm on ch 267 and considering who's waiting for them in the Colosseum I sure-as-shit want to see what happens next.

Did you know that Shinobu had a stand all along?

I meant 567.

...

Really? I thought Jotaro was channeling Duke Togo when he's screwing a broad.

nigger they drew it with the anime references, that shit looks flat as fuck, the only thing that's right is jotaro's head

I don't know..I kinda like the anime artstyle maybe it's because it's a good compromise of early and late Part 4 art.

...

Bullshit.

Delet this

It's actually Rubber Soul.

I undastandu


Not really

Read the indiscriminate pictures.

Even for jojo standards part 4 used to be the one with the least (straight) porn,now thanks to the anime we get some ok-ish stuff from time to time

i can not wait for part 6 to be animated

Well….
It was mare than I expected, but less than I hoped
Anything that isn't Yoai is definitely a breath of fresh air.

I don't even know how this happened, the a and o keys are as far away from each other on a keyboard as two keys can get.

You are under the effect of Shinobu's stand.

The stand that makes her attractive to asexual serial killers?
And me?

No. It's the stand that allows him to alter his physical appearance into anything he, or in this case, you, desire.

Does He work for the Vampire, the Brando man?

DIO

Civil War works as follows:
Those in the area of Civil War, with the exception of the user, will be haunted and killed by their guilt. If someone kills another person, that person doesn't die, instead their guilt washes away and is transferred to the person that tried to kill the other one, including the user.

Really, if he had to pick a stand to despise, Chocolate Disco is the filler stand to end all filler stands
Other than Yo-Yo Ma, but we don't talk about him

???

Isn't Steely Dan named after a dildo?

For some reasons I just can't enjoy this at all. I don't want to fuck any Jojos. Am I the only one that is turned off because of how much he cares about the source material?

What about Nukesaku, would you fuck him in his female version?

it's the back of his head nigga
how much you wanna bet his ass-pussy ain't in the shape of a real pussy?

And people forget that neither 4 or 5 had a central villain for awhile.

There's still quite a few mysteries. Exactly what are the Rock Humans and why do they tend to be so hostile to humans? What are the Wall Eyes? What causes the petrifying sickness? How are the Joestars and Higashikatas connected? Under what circumstances did Haato kill a child? What is full story behind the Rokakaka and how does that tie back to the Rock Humans and the petrifying sickness?
The only real issue I have with Jojolion is the lack of stand battles as compared to the other parts.

Yes yes yes!

Reread it, retard.

Not bad

10 buxs

Splendid

Noice

...

why does all jojo porn suck ass?

It was pretty underappreciated up till the anime adaptations begin happening. Like after the OVA it was a hit online but only online. Still didn't reach a large following till years later.

Give it some time.

...

So we had this idea a while ago and I finally decided to get some convictions. I'm going to do a couple of voice demos of part 1 to see what you guys think, my mic is shit and I'm messing with the levels so it at least sounds somewhat promising, but this might take all night. Drinking plenty of water and picking the voices that sound close to the japanese actors so people get at least close to what they think when they hear them. Wish me luck

What do you guys think?
drive.google.com/file/d/0By8iQawVt7LgdWhNWUR2VXZHaFU/view?usp=sharing
If it seems fast and choppy I cut it up between the long pauses, this was 22 minutes that I cut to like 5 minutes.

Got numbers?

Got no proof. Just what someone told me. So sorry.

Too bad

...

to be honest, the "to be continued" meme was also in the manga and the game
Just that the music and the execution part came from the anime

Yep

At least the death of his user was pretty funny

...

Jobin is the only option left unless Araki drops someone. Shit, he just coerced a rockman to take out Josuke to get his arms back.
I feel like Jobins only in it to save his kid, but he is still 100% villain territory due to working with the Rokaka ring and laundering money through the fruit shop.

Part 4 was a boring shitfest. 20 episodes of nothing and a bullshit ghost thrown into the mix. Echo was the stupidest stand I've seen yet with Act 3 having nothing to do with its original concept. Okuyasu didn't do shit throughout the whole series despite his stand having a number of uses. The whole part with Kira's father could have been avoided if that drooling retard used The Hand to capture him after he escaped.

In all honesty though it should be some rock human figuring out the secret to equivalent exchange, doing so with a human and becoming the ultimate lifeform, possibly named Hayato Kawajiri though.

We know shit about Kaato though. She might be even deeper into this mess since she apparently served time to cover someone in the Higashikata household and is in good standings with Jobin only. At this point, part VII was a remix of I and III, part VIII is more like a culmination of all the remaining parts into one. You got the Pillar Men from part II, the murder mystery from part IV alongside the body switch, you got the whole organized crime angle from part V with a possible gang leader as its final villain and we might even get glimpses of part VI if Araki does more with Kaato.

But what would Hayato's stand be called? What would its OP ability be?

...

...

This will be interesting

...

Don't know about the names but I think it would be neat if his stand possessed photographic or recording elements, as a callback to Hayato spying on his dad to figure out his weaknesses. Sort of like spirit photography but taken to the extremes, maybe he can do shit to memories like California King Bed but to a higher extreme.

postin same thing in this thread since it's got a lot of ex AT fans in it

Would anyone here be interested in a livestream of the Islands Miniseries of Adventure Time? I streamed it for halfchan Holla Forums and they pretty much liked/loved it. Even the ones who think Finn is a beta liked it

Yeah if you think the show sucks dick we can all get together and discuss how far its fallen

Well, since you got SEKAI ICHI digits, go ahead
Do your fucking worst

『 LOOK  AT  THIS  PHOTOGRAPH』

Oh God. Just make the Stand 『NICKELBACK』.

I agree with

The name you proposed is too long and reeks of Holla Forumsco/'s bizarre autism

...

At last I truly see.
Those who milk lolcows should take care not to become one themselves, just as those who laugh at the autistic should take care for the autism gazes back at ye

In unrelated news I assumed that it was a funny character trait of Tsurugi's but apparently people in nipland really do dress their young'ns in girls' clothing

the song is just called Photograph

What is the best stand and why is it 「T H E H A N D」 ?

The answer is spaghet cat

...

That might explain some of the reproduction problems over here.


It would pretty much be top tier if it wasn't for the fact that it's user is a fucking retard.

*over there

Eh, it's typical behavior, as far as non-white culture goes. They can't help it.

I always liked Planet Waves

Independents are cool.

I know this is supposed to be a serious moment but I had to stop to have a good laugh at this. Like I know he's thinking something like "Oh for FUCK'S sake!

So…the same deal with Bohemian Rhapsody then? OP Stand power, retarded Stand user?

They literally explain the reasoning behind it in the manga.

Something about a family curse that boys at a certain age got some incurable disease, right?

In ASB the description for Pucci's attack is the same but somehow it makes me laugh even harder when he screams using it. Too bad you'll never get to see it under normal gameplay.
Also I really like the fact that Pucci is ultimately right, since Jotaro couldn't just kill him and had to go back and save his daughter who has no time-related powers.

Maybe if she had worn more modest clothing Daddy Jotaro could have taught her how to armor up with Shonen Jump.

Yeah, well, unfortunately he's an edgy shit, and because of that, she's a cunt in comparison to superior Ermes.

Goddammit. A big finale for the original world, and Araki couldn't at the very least bring all the currently living characters together for the end.

Part 9 Ireneverse when?

...

I mean even the last game was uniting all the Jojo's to fight Heaven DIO. It's really the only logical conclusion to it all. Unite them to fight a threat of multiversal terror. End with a bang.

Literally the panel after Jotaro dies she regrets every decision she's ever done because her "muh daddy's love" shit was all done since she was a huge attention whore.

You'd need actual time traveling stands and that's gay as fuck to be honest
I'd much rather all the dead people from the original series staid dead but all those that could make the jump into the alternate universe (I.E. Giorno, Mista, Josuke, Rohan etc.) come back in some fashion. How fucking cool would it be to have Mista back for the end of part VIII?

...

That still wouldn't work. You'd need a stand like D4C where you can pull people from an alternate universe. Even if you can resurrect people or go back in time to where they exist, that still makes everyone Part 6 and prior unobtainable.

Or it could be in a world where shit didn't happen. When you jump worlds for extreme bullshit, you might as well do it again.

There, put as many fan sevice flashbacks as needed, and there you have a way to bring back the original universe and give it a hope for a good end

Pretty alright idea for a quick type up fanfiction.

Sounds too serious for Araki, at least up until the end. I can see it being reminiscent of Pucci and Kira's death.

Araki said multiple times that no stand can resurrect the dead. If your soul is gone, it's gone forever. Sure there's weird exceptions like how Joseph was brought back to life a few moments after he had been killed by DIO (consider that most of the battle was in time stops so it's not that big of a stretch that Joseph was still barely alive), but even Heaven DIO doesn't take people back to life as much as take them from parallel universes where they're still alive.

Some other autist dubbed it Crazy Diamond Shines On but otherwise spot on. The only thing I'm against is Diavolo since I keep on thinking it's just King Crimson possessing Doppio's body but overall it'd be great.

Eh I'm not a fan of that possession theory/headcanon. Makes it way more tragic with what happens to Diavolo in the end.

It makes it more tragic when you take the characters as two separate entities.
Diavolo is condemned to a cycle of death, while the Doppio conscious is stuck eternally waiting for a call from his boss that will never come.

So, much like Holla Forums's other boogeymen (Steven Universe, Loud House, Adventure Time), I have never seen Jojo's Big Adventure (where his bike gets stolen and he ends up traveling across the United States only to find out that the Buxton kid had stolen it, after all). So I wandered over to watchcartoononline and found episode one. Then I watched episode two.

Before I even think about watching episode 3, I want reassurances that this whole thing is going to get better, because I'm bored to tears with the first two. Is it a comedy or is it just one of those "so bad it's good" kind of things? What, exactly, makes it stand out for you guys from other anime?

It's shounen. Think of a comic book from the silver age, played out like a radio drama.

Okay, I can get behind that idea. So it does get better?

Part 1 is a little weak but entertaining the more you dig into the characters. Part 2 is great and lots of fun. Part 3 is a bit of a mix bag with lots of muscles and brown backgrounds. Part 4 is great fun again but a bit of a lower budget that shows. If you can't get into it, that's fine. It's a bit of a required taste.

What's your problem, anyway?

Part I is almost purely fighting, think of it as necessary backstory for what's to come.
Part II is fucking great, fights and funs all around.
Part III introduces Stands, there's a lot of emphasis on fun and action until the very last episodes-chapters.
Part IV is much more chill.
Part V you just gotta wait for someone to make it more bearable to read.
Part VI is where shit hits the fan.
Part VII is where said shit is picked from the fan, made into another coherent thing and thrown into the fan again.
Part VIII is about finding out where the little pieces all went, with one that is JUST out of your reach beneath a closet.

Fuck that, I want to see her suck multiple ice creams and getting rammed by cute fluffy bunnies And her body is covered in glitters and her mouth is full of pies

And then I fuck her silly

Also sage since this comment is OOT and my dick told me to post this

You're watching us. Aren't you, /sp/?

So I finished Stone Ocean and I need to ask a couple of things.
Do the previous stand users still have stands? Did the events of the previous parts even happen now, since ghosts apparently never transfer over between iterations?

Supposedly yes. Technically yes but it's now a new universe so it's unknown exactly what happened there. We don't actually know if ghosts/spirits transferred over since what we see at the end of Stone Ocean is the Ireneverse. What we follow in parts 7 & 8 is the Steel Ball Run universe. Completely separate places. The Ireneverse hasn't been explored again yet.

I always found this to be kind of bullshit. Making the universes completely separate actually detracts from the overall story, especially given how many things are similar-but-not-quite in the same way as the "Ireneverse."

Quit spamming Holla Forums with fake /sp/ bullshit, if they were really here they would be posting there usual images and not yelling random crap like some faggot from Holla Forums.

Yeah it's a bit dumb to not actually do anything with the Ireneverse but in a way it means that the characters alive at the time get happy endings in that universe.

The universe should have been one without Dio, then everyone could have a happy ending

I still blame Diavolo more than anyone.

It's an appropriate JoJo reference, you super retard.

Jojo is really something to be an art piece that transcends its original simple comic form

Sorry I've been seeing people randomly post /sp/ shit and sperg around their own post lately, my mistake

I've noticed that lots of people are starting to get into the 70s and 80s prog music thanks to JoJo. I picked up a copy of Fragile from a CD store my car doesn't have an aux cord and FM transmitters a shit and it was the last copy in the place. The guy at the counter said it should be on a best seller list since apparently they've been blowing through them like nobody's business. I found JoJo by looking up reasons for Fragile selling so well, so I guess I went through the opposite process.
I'm glad so many people are acquiring such patrician taste thanks to it.

Little by little Jojo will save the music industry.

I hate to say it, but most of them are anime memers probably; they just want to listen to roundabout on loop I would bet. Although I won't deny that there might be some who are touched by those wonderful piano solos and the overall fluid and cosmic feeling the whole album gives off. I also forgot to mention they got me into Emerson Lake and Palmer with their album Tarkus, which I thought was a single, but I did further looking into it and the entire album was surprisingly of the same musical quality. I then went to brain salad surgery, which started with the british national anthem, and it got me thinking about god and christianity, taking back jerusalem and such. I guess I owe it all to jojo for actually getting me back into being a decent human being overall.
I also totally forgot I started listening to Rhapsody of fire because of a video I saw a long time ago where dio and jotaro were fighting with The Last Winged Unicorn playing to the beat of their punches; it was really something special to me since that was actually my first introduction to jojo before I binge read the entire manga. Of course, I still had pretty decent taste as far as music goes, but I had a hard time listening to anything that wasn't Queen or David Bowie. Now I have a music folder that's full of old albums, go figure.

My nigga. I can't remember, have there been any Rush-themed stands? I've read up to Part 7 and there haven't been any I recall.

Stupid.

Nope

I suppose that's partly true for me, but also the reverse. Part of the reason I got interested in JoJo(besides curiosity about the context of the flash animated stick figure dropping a steam roller on someone) was because of how it referenced a lot of music I listened too. And after I started reading it I was influenced to listen to other bands referenced in the series.

A lot of potential in these names.

Exactly, maybe Araki has never listened to them, or worse, doesn't like them.
We got Catch the Rainbow though so I guess I can be somewhat satisfied.

Jobin confirmed baddie, this is some serious Ch1 Dio vibes here.

It all comes full circle

...

So what does Speedo King do other than melt stuff

So do we finally have a main villain?

Speed Kings ability is pretty much like KIRA QUEEN in the sense that it needs to touch something and then it can transfer heat either instantly or until someone else touches it (like when he makes the blood vessels in Josukes nose burst with the tissues)
Its also promised that he has other hidden abilities that he hasn't revealed yet so Araki has more bullshit just waiting to pull out when convenient.


Seems like it, he just coerced a quadriplegic rock man into unleashing zombies to kill Josuke and doesn't care about damage to innocents or the town as long as his dad doesn't find out and he gets in trouble, so I'd say he's definitely our main baddy at this point

Eh I'll take it.

You guys ever find it weird how David Bowie died the same year as DiU's original run would be? How it just seemed to tip off the very year that a character inspired by his musical career would be depicted on the airwaves of Japan?

Rest In Peace, John Wetton.

To be fair, Polnareff is an idiot. Avdol had to save his ass most of the time; I actually think that if he accepted Joesph offer to move to New York, he would have come out a little better for it.

Prince died as well.

Josuke and Kira are dead

He would've made a pretty good actor for Joesuke if they ever decide to change the setting to accommodate the skin tone.

That issue didn't confirm shit about the final villain, and 10:1 odds it's not going to be Jobin, or entirely Jobin. The final bad guy is either going to be Flashback Man or a combination of characters, one of whom might be Jobin. But as he is now, no.

Think about what you just said and realize what's wrong with that sentence.


You just said "he would make a great actor for this character if they changed the character completel".

Unless Araki is going to pull something stupid and reveal a big baddie at the very end with zero buildup there is no sense in trying to be a Jobin apologist

Face it, all these hallmarks make him out to be the big bad, and you're right they might just bring more smugglers and the dude from the flashback but I wouldn't be surprised if Jobin doesn't do a hostile takeover of the smuggling ring and then try to bump off his father allowing him to move the Rokaka through his fruit stands to be both a huge success in the underworld and in public.

So…just like Diavolo and Valentine?

We also have no idea how close to the end we are, there could be another 6-8 years of Part 8 ahead.

So far, the only evidence that supports Jobin being any kind of villain is as some sort of broker for a larger shady organization. He's definitely not the boss, which most likely will be Flashback Man.

Plus, his Stand is way too lame to be a final villain.

Also >Jobin apologist

If anything I'm the opposite. I agree he's a villain, but there's nothing supporting him as The Big Bad right now.

Dude was around for a while, but you're right with Diavolo
The dude has a hidden stand ability which as I said earlier just screams necessary plot relevant power to reveal itself at the worst time possible. Besides almost all illains get a end of story power boost, he'll probably get supercharged by the combo Rokaka when he tracks it down.

Diavolo was built up from the start. You just didn't know his identity till the very end.

Might as well call Kira the same thing. It's about the chasu. The whole plot was about hunting him down.
He was already a character, much like Jobin is.

I dunno, man. Kaato seems to hint more at big bad for me if we're just talking characters we know already. We barely know anything about her or her stand, and she's got more mystery revolving around her. She scares Jobin and has apparently been something of a villain since back when he was a kid, given she apparently murdered some kid, so she seems more of a big bad than him to me.

Though that's just my gut feeling so far.

I mostly made it on his fashion style

That's even worse.

...

We're going to need a new thread soon.

You guys still haven't seen that episode of Heroes have you?

No, how bad is it and which one?

Apparently the Japanese character on Heroes makes references to Jojo, particularly about Jotaro and DIO, quite often in the series.

that's okay I guess, but it's still normalfag shit

Does anyone even give a shit about Heroes anymore?

The "references" were made before the television series aired, though, in the mid-2000s.

What? No he didn't.

I don't know, but what I was saying is that japanese people liked part 3 because they like autistic cool guys, so it's fine in my eyes for him to be talking about dio and jotaro.

The character had time stopping powers, as well, so it's fitting, at the very least, even though he says "muda", while likening himself to Jotaro.

...

it's shit

He also says his favorite part is 'Jotaro's part'.

If I remember correctly, he was taunting an opponent at that moment, so he used the
"Muda Muda" line correctly, as it literally translates to Useless useless.
Also, what normalfag knew about Jojo in 04' other than a mega weeb who watched the OVA's?

Or a guy who used to play Heritage for the Future a lot and used to got fragged by Dio's meme Time Stop combo?

Kinda obvious

bump

What are you two even talking about, I think you replied to the wrong post and didn't notice

Oh shit, yeah.
My bad.

ONE JOB

And he's not even short?

If they took experience serious 90% would look like westerners, mainly middle European.

I get what you mean, but for me, I appreciate the nudes and the lewds for the series as long as it's good quality or it's just a standard fanwank comic/doujin, but I only like looking at it not getting off it.


Is this movie going to be in the same level as the live action Dragonball and GITS?

I know! It's bullshit!

I just want to see a live action version of an anime that looks like really expensive cosplayers bringing the show to life. Is that too much to ask, Japan?!


Well it's made in Japan so fingers crossed they don't fuck it up.

Oh, if you want that, I think Sakigake Otokojuku is right up your alley (hell, even I didn't know that they have a live action movie)

The Cromartie High School live action film is pretty good.

That's pretty good.


I'll have to look into that too.

That's why we will never get a live action part 3 movie.
Japanese manlets everywhere when there should be buff gaijin and hapas

And really, who else can you cast as Joseph Joestar now that Sean Connery is retired?

Stephen Lang, next question

Who plays Jotaro, Kakyoin, Polnarefff, and Abdul? Those are some big shoes and outfits to fill.

Well my first pick for Avdol would be pic related, he'd pull off the look pretty well and he's already played an egyptian technically for years

he was also one of Bane's goons in TDKR

Holy shit, he does look like Part 3 Joseph. Even have that beard sideburn combo.

Holy shit
