Why don't we all have a toast?
Jojo afterparty thread
Holy SOVL.
I won't lie, this always gets me teary-eyed.
Johnn-
Shut up.
To what? We've lost everything.
My heroes SAVED my lolihag wife!
Lucy...
perfect exchange. really lived up to the hype. even if i didnt find the fight leading up to it that great
Tomorrow's volume cover...
At least they have each other.
Araki forgot she’s 14, she looks mid 20s here
I drew Sugar Mountain
Valentine? Can’t satisfy women unlike the other JoJo villains
Cute
SO CUTE!!!
UOOOOOOHHHH
How about a toast to the next jobber of the week?
I also drew Blackmore with a creature
I'm still an SBR disliker, but this arc always gets me. It's the peak of the series even if the rest of Part 7 wavers in quality.
Very nice, i rike it
Niceu niceu
I like it.
To the next jobber of the week, and to the end.
The moment where they became true friends. All the other parts don’t really have moments like this, the bonding is skipped over or there’s hardly focus on it. Only Josuke and Okayasu come close
Three threads just because of this volume cover and the lesbian seggs. Calling it.
True Man's World did irreparable damage to how Gyro and Johnny are perceived
Cute
Tooru
satisfying women
lol
I like everything except the shootout. It was mostly boring.
Araki kinda flubbed it with 'dark determination'. He should have just kept it as kukugo since that's basically what it is at the end of the day.
Pucci never had sex
And that's a good thing
This moment at the end of Limp Bizkit always gets me, but it definitely don't quite reach the level of Sugar Mountain.
Sugar Mountain hits hard every single time.
I think the shootout is the best part. It's like the most creatively gory fight in the series. Eleven Men were fucking jobbers though. I see that clearly this time around.
the arc Gyro finally got Johnnypilled
Cute!
Nice
It's hard to get a feel for the positioning of each character and then there's all the "THEY'RE SHOOTING US FROM ALL DIRECTIONS BUT IT'S ACTUALLY 1 DIRECTION" moments.
Maybe the anime would be able to improve that if we weren't getting another Rohan sequel.
All according to his plan
F-Fuck...we've been rused...
It's been years, but I finally realized this is when Gyro falls for Johnny
Everyone in this thread? Me.
My cock will be out for this.
How does one stand end up being shared between 11 people?
Did it originally only belong to one and he shared it with the other ten? Or did they all get their stand at the same time?
That's me in the corner.
That's me in the spotlight.
Ringo broke Gyro's brain into being a wife beating woman hating asshole
Johnny's sacrifice fixes Gyro into finally appreciating him and trying to help Lucy
Ringo lost
Me on the right
Unfortunately, Tooru did satisfy Yasuho.
Gappy dumped her when he found out because he's not about that NTR shit.
the average japanese man believes that Jojo has been going downhill since part 5
Johnny lost his religion in the end
Pottery
I wonder what made Araki want to put more and more scenes where someone gets molested in the last 3 parts
Bros...
Reminder, Johnny did choose the corpse over Gyro but then guilty over it. If I was Gyro, I’d slap the shit out of him
Gyro always respected Johnny and clearly cared enough to save him several times, but the redpilling of his father and Ringo kept him distant and brutish. From here on out, he becomes more subdued and softer towards him. It's sweet.
kek
They're probably one unit trained to work as one, judging by godly coordination, I wonder if there was more than 11 of em in the past.
KEK
According to that best manga of all time poll, the average Japanese person thinks 3 > 4 > 5 > 1 > 2 > 7 > 6 > 8.
So they think that other than 7 being better than 6, the series has been consistently getting worse since part 3.
Why couldn't Araki give Joseph and Caesar this level of friendship?
KEK
Girls cannot love other girls
The Pastebin now includes the last 3 volumes and their respective afterparties. Enjoy!
pastebin.com
Strohiem was the best friend character that’s why
It's the entire reason he's there, the only thing that would give his life meaning. The fact he does give them up is evidence of how important Gyro is to him and Gyro knows this.
predictions on what the anime might cut/change
Hitomi...
Thanks anon
Both part 1 and 2 suffer from being too short. Anyway, I get the feeling they were meant to be rivals that almost became good friends but Caesar’s death stopped that from happening. They work better as a tragic relationship rather than true friends, but a lot of their training is off screened so it doesn’t work as well
Random question, but what are your thoughts on the auras? Stand Users didn't have them until the end of Part 3 (though I believe the anime made a few exceptions), but they became pretty common going forward. I believe the anime also changed up the effects for the auras for each part, though I might be wrong about that. Just curious if you guys had any thoughts on them. Personally, I feel like sometimes they can clutter the animation, but some of the colors they choose can be really nice.
Araki was still kinda green when he wrote those part 2 and BT is super short compared to SBR. I respect how well he managed to cover it up with Joseph and Lisalisa extreme grief over his death, to the point where fans thought "Since they're so sad, maybe Ceasar didn't suck after all?!".
You can see the exact moment Gyro falls in love.
kek
I love the Part 3 style so much
Part 2 was too short and only had four serious enemies
Westoids think 7 is overrated shit, but the actual part that is both vastly overrated and shit is 3
I always looked forward to seeing what color aura DP would give stands.
i think only the protagonist, main villain and a handful of characters should have them
hopefully they drop it in the next one because if gyro gets an aura all the time it would look silly
Westoids think 7 is overrated
Are you retarded?
Had to draw this.
I think they feel a bit generic to be honest.
Emojis are a good thing!
kino
That's a problem with many other parts. It's just constant fighting with three or four pages of break time before moving on to the next fight. Part 5 definitely suffers the most from this.
BASED.
Final count: 47 (You)s
I think Gyro's first appearance has only a few more or a few less. That's a pretty good amount.
All of the big moments that goes down in D4C will likely have the most, excluding the end page.
Based Gyro, Johnny doesn’t have shit on him
Based.
Johnny will mog with Act 4
My memory of SBR is so bad it genuinely feels like this is my first time reading it.
based
If Gyro gets one all the time it would be a lie, because he doesn't have a Stand.
Are we officially out of Fat Valentine territory?
I just feel pity other for other partfags because JoJo peaked with part 5, it really did. Other partfags are utterly and completely destroyed by the fact that WE WON and now since the anime Golden Wind has become the most acclaimed shounen since Hunter x Hunter i feel bad kicking a dead horse.
I won't make fun or bash SBR fans again, I'm happy for you, i honestly expect they can enjoy their anime even if it will be a slideshow with CGI horses.
But seriously bros, it feels so good to be a VA chad, it's exactly as it was with Chimera Ant in HxH, Pt 5 IS THE CA OF JOJO, let that sink in.
Time proved us right, we were right having it as our favorite, hyping KC vs Metallica, hyping the 7 page Muda, hyping the ending. I feel like crying being validated after all this time, when we were lumped with the fans of 1 and 6 and now being acknowledged as having the best taste, now with Part 5 one of the most acclaimed anime in years. Who cares at this point if they adapt Pt7, what matters is that peak Jojo, Bucciarati's journey received the best anime adaptation of Jojo there ever will be. We won.
Johnny sitting like a Lego minifigure
kek, good work. I dig Gyro staying in black and white while Johnny retains his colors.
Gyro’s final scene will get more and I’ll make sure to constantly spam
Yes.
He fully transforms when he tries to do Araki's favorite thing to Lucy

Cinema.
Chimimiiiiiiiin~!
Part 7 is overrated in the West because it somehow picked up a reputation as 'the only good Jojo part'.
Probably because of some combo of having okay quality scans (Part 7's colored scans are noticeably less hot garbage than 1-6's) and a decent TL before most of the rest of the series.
There are Steel Ball Run fans that have never read any other part of the series.
Kino. Nicely done, Anon.
What pages have gotten the most (You)s from each part?
'Won', did you?
Y-Yoda?
Don't engage with the falseflag.
First time part 7 readers, how are you liking it so far?
redditspacing
hxh out of thin air
let that sink in
forced partwars
Sad part is people are already falling for this obvious falseflag bait.
most obvious bait ever and people still engage
I think THIS TIME IS ONLY MINE is going to be the big one
Ceasar was only alive for 4 volumes.
Be honest anon you warmed up to him.
Gyrokeks astroturf
I speedread all of his scenes because he's obviously wrong and contributes nothing to this manga.
Gyro...
I hate him more than ever.
Araki's art peaked in late part 3.
Jojo was still easy axebait back then.
He couldn't spend time like this, because he needed to keep the fights and gags coming out to stay alive.
If every son had a father like this Anon Babble wouldn't exist.
no he's still shit. him pulling that shit in the operating room to prove a point to gyro is insane even if he's right about only one of them being able to be saved.
he is only winning the SBR father race by default.
Gyro stops being a prick when he stops listening to his dad and becomes Johnnypilled
Gregorio lost. Cope.
This poster is a terrorist btw
Missed out on the Sugar Mountain dump
Fuck me. I love Sugar Mountain so much, bros.
Could Ringo have made him change his ways?
I am envious of his beard.
He's lucky he's in a part with George and Dario, otherwise he'd be worst dad
I'll have to give props that Giorno's Theme was so good it carried the entire part.
Rucy will be 18 in the anime.
Having Gregorio for a father would be like having Pucci for a father. It's a miracle that Gyro got away with just being a little neurotic and impressionable.
No.
It looks like he smacked clay on his chin
Ruined
I'm not sure, I would have to go through every thread and count. Off the top of my head, 1 is probably Jonathan's death, 2's might be SHIIIZAAA or Joseph crashing his own funeral, 3 I know for a fact was the Jotaro and DIO walk (unless I miscounted DIO's death), 4 might be something from Bites The Dust, 5 is either during Mystery of King Crimson or GER, and 6 is I think Jolyne's death (again, not counting the ending page.)
Araki would not allow it.
cute
Wait a minute, is fatherhood the heme of SBR?
since the beggining
Anon.........
Wish I got into manga earlier, i am a jojofag since 2020 and bingewatched part 1-5 while also had the time to catch up to part 6 shitty release schedule...now that i'm reading SBR for first time...i love it unironically, its good, i might not soak in every scene right away, but i'll re-read the entirety of SBR once the storytime ends, both in color and then again in BW (so it will be BW-color-bw again) and then lets hope anime comes out around 2026
it's very good, the friendships, fights, memes, sadness, madness...it has everything
Tusk act 1 is cute, I didnt expect Gyro to be from a family of executoner, since before reading SBR i thought he's just a hehe funny cowboy pizza mozzarella and that Johnny is just an op jojo like any other with Tusk Act 4
overall, i cant wait to see more kino unfold, SBR definitely goes into my top 3 fav parts
277828450
Let's be honest, Anon. You don't even actually like VA.
Do we have any kind of collection of the MSpaint anon's drawings, they're very charming.
but also not married to steel
Based.
eh...i think she's going to be 16 at max...maybe 14 as Araki intended
Always has been
it's even brought up between Valentine and Johnny in their standoff
this is easily my favorite part so far. it has a goal laid out from the very start, tangible progression, an antagonist that remains mysterious while not just sitting there in a shadow, a growing mystery that unravels over time, relevant side characters, enjoyable main characters, and interesting stand abilities.
the greatest adventures have 'movement with purpose'. the race does a great job of establishing purpose. araki could've very easily had them wander randomly around the country stumbling into things along the way, but the framing of the race keeps things moving even when they feel still.
it's a story that appeals to me more as opposed to something like part 4, which feels unfocused and all over the place with its bloated cast of allies and lackluster character building. part 7 feels like an actual adventure story.
it was a good decision to start fresh with this universe while also reinterpreting past characters. it really feels like the ultimate part, like araki had a story he wanted to tell that required wiping that slate clean
Hmm how will I teach my son an important philosophical lesson?
How about I put him in a stressful situation that will scar him for life?
SBR op 3
SBR op 3 ver 2 D4C Love Train messes with the OP
SBR op 3 ver 3 Tusk Act 4 breaks through Love Train
SBR op 3 ver 4 Diego interrupts the OP just like DIO in part 3
I will be foaming from the mouth.
Not completely but we're getting there
And then part 8 is Morioh but worse
Love Train messes with the OP
How?
It's like the famous saying when a human is disparaging that is when that person lives the most.
D4C will turn the 2d animated OP into a 3d animated OP with Sono Chi no Sadame
I'm already a part 7 fag, but I'm glad others appreciate that SBR is very focused. It's always been a strength for it imo
You will get OP1, OP2, and OP2 ver 2 in the final episode and you will like it.
I... I miss Jorin.
place your bets, will we get 2 OP or 3 OP like with DiU?
I hope we get 3 cause it feels like SBR is having somewhere between 48 and 52 episodes
I've been enjoying it. I can see where people are coming from when they say its their favorite, though it hasn't reached that status for me quite yet. The first horse race and Scary Monsters are my favorite arcs so far, but Sugar Mountain is right beside them. Least favorite was probably In A Silent Way, but there was still some good stuff in it too, like Diego's scene with Valentine. I also have a soft spot for Oyecomova's arc.
DiU having 3 op's was completely unnecessary.
Chase should have never existed
implying DP will care this much
inb4 "b-but chase best opening!" samefags
I really like Johnny bros, I think he's great.
I really don't think it was a good experiment for Araki to try and take on writing long-form character development.
1-6 are mostly pretty simply characters with personalities you can sum up in a couple sentences, and arcs that are just as straight forwards.
7 so far has tried to lean into 'dynamic character writing' but Araki's terminal lack of planning and lack of consistency has kneecapped this so far.
Gyro and Johnny both have jagged uneven characterizations that don't come off as purposeful as much as Araki just not having a good grasp of the situation.
I muss Ermes.....
unless nerflix and batch release fuck things up so you get only 2 openings
Araki based Scarlet Valentine off of his own wife btw
for real?
You mean Hideo Kojima's wife
It deserves 3 OPs because it's set in Japan. Part 7 will be a lazy adaptation with 2 OPs and then part 8 anime will have 3 OPs again.
part 8 anime
89 episodes
Araki confirmed he will supervise part 8's anime with a brand new script that redeems it as the best part.
What is it about chase that people hate?
I think it's fine.
Chase is unironically a better story than part 4 itself
missed yesterday's
Is Chase the shortest lived OP excluding Sono Chi no Sadame?
kek, good one
Kek nice.
kek
I don't hate it and I think it's good but some people really insist on it being the best Jojo opening out of pure contrarianism.
I don't hate it and I think it's good but some people really insist on it being the best Jojo opening out of pure contrarianism.
Lol, what?
It's just above average.
The most common complaint I've seen for it is that it doesn't sound "JoJo" enough, especially compared to Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town and Great Days.
Kino
It's an OP for a story that isn't told, for a series that Diamond is Unbreakable isn't.
I think that's a really stupid complaint. Literally none of the OPs sound similar to each other, at least not between Parts.
Unironically this is how I feel about 90% of anime OPs. The best OPs for anime besides JoJo are all more evocative than the actual series they're used in.
Araki writes a good, not great scene
FUARKING KINO ONLY REAL MEN UNDERSTAND WHAT HAVING FRIENDS IS LIKE AND YOU'RE A FRIEND LOSER AND PROBABLY A WOMAN IF YOU DON'T THINK THIS MAKES SBR THE BEST PART
Quite cringe tbqhwy
Gregorio's only asshole moment was telling Gyro to be fine with killing a child. Gyro is in two professions that require you to keep your emotions at bay and he needed to learn that. He even said he'd do the procedure himself because Gyro was already shocked enough with the decision.
In the context of the life the family leads, he's a decent father.
ONLY REAL MEN UNDERSTAND
Only True Men*

Imagine being this mad over anons like SBR
Please keep posting about how upset you are that SBR is popular, it's hilarious.
Its popularity doesn't bother me.
People thinking it is better than it is, bothers me, because it comes at the expense of the rest of the series that is actually good.
steaming mad lmao
you outed yourself, have a you
Kino. Most kino scene in Jojo.
You are more angry at my reply than I ever was making it.
VAfag melty
People liking SBR doesn't automatically erase the other parts, you absolute baby.
Quit while you're ahead. You're getting drawn in by ragebaiters and schizos.
erm I'm not bothered by its popularity but actually I am because it being popular means it's shitting on MY FAVORITE PART which is actually superior
Obnoxious as fuck, why are SBR haters like this?
the expense of the rest of the series that is actually good.
You fell for bait. Nobody else is shitting on 1, 2, 3 or 6 just bringing up aspects of SBR that those parts could've benefited from.
REEEEEEEEEEEEE PRAISING SBR MEANS YOU HATE THE OTHER JOJO PARTS REEEEEEEEEE
bizarre how it's only extremes with them
I feel like most OPs are usually more interested in looking cool than representing a series properly, though sometimes part of that is because said series is unfinished. I don't personally mind that decision, admittedly. But JoJo has the benefit of having most of its story completed. Take Part 1's opening as an example.
start with flashing the later JoJo, working backwards to Jonathan, showing this series is about the Joestar family
DIO enters the mansion, standing across Jonathan to show he's the invader
brief flashes of moments that show what goes on between Jonathan and Dio, such as Dio rejecting his humanity and Jonathan beating Dio up for kissing Erina
this leads into Dio putting on the mask while George dies
but Jonathan refuses to give up, pointing to the sky (a little nod to one of Part 4's covers)
Dio flexing his new powers, walking up the pillar and being a murder happy son of a bitch
flashes of Dio life, starting off smug, then concerned, then crazed
Jonathan armed with Hamon, running up the stairs to take on Dio (even having the fire in his eyes like Jolyne and Johnny) while the latter sits on his throne (a nice nod to Polnareff's encounter with Dio at the stairs)
different panels that lead to this moment, going back to the first meeting
the two locked in battle as the Stone Mask falls into the ocean, spreading blood
and all of this fucking happens within the mansion
It's not only cool, but does a good job representing Part 1.
SBR has a lot of issues
The retcons and turning major wounds into minor cuts.
So far Johnny was beaten to a bloody pulp trying to tame his horse. He started this journey without rest and he has taken multiple cuts and damage that just instantly heal after a chapter. The drama of the fights isn't there if they don't have the ability to be damaged in any meaningful way despite losing limbs blood etc. Gyro just got a cut on a place that will kill you in under two minutes. No explanation on how he survived it other than "we got to rest for 7 days" but that should be fine in this race?
I have no issue when asspulls lead to cool things like Johnny learning how to upgrade his stand because he now shoots things into what he perceives as golden ratio boxes.
The most glaring and purposely disrespectful thing that can't be overlooked is the fragrant misuse of Jesus Christ. Savior and God to the largest religion in the world and completely miscategorized. If you are going to put the central key figure of a religion in your story. You may want to read the fucking book. If Araki presented the Islamic Allah in the same way as he does Jesus Christ he would be dead and his studio and his apartment would've been fire bombed. He would've gotten Je'suis Charlie'd
literally only people responding to this chapter with KINO and BASED and THIS IS MY FAVORITE
you interpret this as automatically shitting on whatever you like most
My God, grow up
We're circling back to the levels of retardation I thought couldn't be possible yet here we are again
funnily enough, they cared enough to change the opening with jailhouse lock, making a lot of text go along the threads and having more grafiti in the walls.
But then decided to give Heaven's Falling Down just 2 versions, despite the second doing more stuff other than the Jotaro+MiH interruption (like showing Weather's least favorite cliff and the DIO Jrs' full designs) but it was only in the LAST episode, so it's kinda impossible to predict what they'll do
It does.
For example, Part 6 still has the common reputation as the part you have to struggle through to get to the 'good part'. And that reputation effectively primes people to treat it as a throwaway and to speedread it and thereby not appreciate the part's merits or quality. The entire 'part skipping' habit within Jojo was significantly kickstarted by this mistaken belief in Part 7 actually being much better than it really is and everything else being preamble you had to push through to get to it.
Or in other cases the high quality character writing throughout Jojo is disparaged by comparison when people pretend that Part 7 is the first time in the series that Araki wrote characters that change or develop. This again, reduces the actual appreciation people have for the good parts of the series, and primes them to discount it all as not being up to par, even when it is or is even better.
Extremely childish reply.
Do better.
I was gonna give that post a (You) but decided to give it to you instead
You are a coward.
SBR has more to take from the rest of the series than the other way around. As you'd expect comparing one installement to a collective of 6.
You're still doing the move of putting it on a pedestal and then denigrating the rest of the manga for that.
Well thank you, love and peace
i like seeing the fights ngl
*burp*
This scene is so good man, I love SBR so much
BRUH??CRINGECRINGECRINGECRINGECRINGECRINGECRINGECRINGE UUUMM ACKSHUALLY THIS SCENE IS NOT THAT GREAT SBRKEKS
greater contexts don't exist
Why bother replying if you're going to act like anyone is only discussing the exact specific scenario of the replies to that post?
And even there I can criticize this, because people pretend that that kind of moment of bonding between characters is unprecedented in Jojo. Despite that not being true.
It does
No it doesn't. Stop being deranged.
Did you really just say people enjoying something bothers you?
Did you really?
Sounds like you're a perpetual victim. Have a (you)
Some are enjoying this so what do you expect? The only solution is to discern who's speaking in earnest without automatically assuming the worst in others because something they said offends your personal sensibilities.
When they overrate it, and that overrating by nature comes at the detriment of other parts of the series, that bothers me.
I can't take your "critique" seriously when you admit you don't like SBR because it's "more popular than your favorite part"
I wanna roll around on that bed
SBR haters can't stand people having fun in context of enjoying their favorite part because they're perpetual victims who think any hate towards their preferred part is solely at the hands of SBRfags. Insane behavior.
Wait, is that the same guy that posted "part 5 is better i feel pity for other partfags?"
if that's the care, lol lmao even, if not, seems like we got a plague
This. Anons literally just getting mad that anons are enjoying a kino scene because "muh part 1/2/3/4/5/6 is actually better" which has nothing to do with anything. They're fighting ghosts
thats my line!
You are illiterate and didn't understand my post.
Reread it.
Good point. Also JoJo can get away with having an OP that's basically celebrating the series with tons of references in both the song lyrics and the visuals because it's a beloved 30-year old manga. Sono Chi no Sadame has "JoJo JoJo" as a refrain but it sounds cool because its based on historic, famous manga. If the manga is still being written it might come across as self-obsessed or forced if they try to make an OP like that.
Fuck this afterparty thread, I'm going to jerk off to Ermes porn
overrate it
Your opinion is subjective so this means nothing
it comes a the detriment of other parts
No it doesn't. Nobody said shit about the other parts being bad ITT or the last, if anything every single thread has been other part fags constantly shitting on SBR like you are right now. You are the asshole, anon. Stop pissing on people having fun, you whiny faggot
Anon, that was transparent bait. There is indeed a plague.

Gyro always tried to part ways with his past, his "playfully" persona is a way to distance himself from the life of a executor, but until this point he never truly succeeded. Here Jonny save Gyros life being sentimental, the opposite of Zeppeli Senior preaching.
Here is the point here Gyre realized that he can truly live free
I'm liking SBR but it's not a great as a lot of people think.
based
Fundamentally Steel Ball Run is just not any good.
And what people try and claim are good, the fights, the character development, the artwork, just are either garbage or unexceptional.
The fights and the character writing for Johnny and Gyro are both terrible. There so far has only been 1 half decent fight in the part, Scary Monsters. Every other one has been actual shit. And from here on out, it is more of the same. The character writing is even worse. No one can actually summarize either Gyro or Johnny's personalities without contradicting at least one thing Araki wrote for either.
The art is unexceptional too. Araki peaked in Part 3, in fidelity, and dynamism. Here you just get traced IRL model faces every few pages and very uninspired choreography elsewhere.
There isn't much to redeem it, but people feel some kind of bond to the manga because they read it as their first "adult series" or something.
So they have to defend it at all ends.
I liked him from the start
muh Part 6
Part 6 got the praise it deserved during these threads, more so than Parts 4 and 5, which are golden goose parts among normalfags and/or japs and, thus, more liked than 6. It being overshadowed by Part 7 because of speedreaders sure sucks, but you need to move on and don't take this praise as it's personally attacking you.
Same.
Thank you yesterday's song posters. In a silent way was ending just as I read Sandman's death and it was great.

Bait
emojiGODS? Unbeatable.
Some samefag is baiting and people keep falling for it
can't get lower than that...or can it?
Kek.
toast
test
It's the lowest it's gonna be
Once we get to Jojolion the bait is gonna be hard to do with that part even in the beginning
Jojo storytime threads reached their lowest points during Part 5. This is just one or two anons baiting for easy (You)s.
It's pretty good, not taking my favorite part but pretty good. Though I still have to read this days chapter, I just woke.
What is there to elaborate on?
The late portions of Part 3 are extremely crisp and pretty while the action within the fights are extremely fluid and have a great sense of motion and use of space.
DIO vs Jotaro is the peak of Araki making use of an entire city as grounds for a fight, rather than it being in some generic field or plane. Polnareff and Iggy vs Vanilla Ice also has a great sense of motion and movement, especially for Vanilla's erasing orb.
Part 7's issue is that. being tied to Johnny being a cripple, among other issues with Araki's art stiffness, is that it has a really poor sense of motion. Johnny jumping across the hill tops in Scary Monsters is almost inexplicable unless you assume Gyro did something he wasn't shown doing. Fights like the 11 Men are complete under-deliveries on the premise of a shootout against a foe that outnumbered the protagonists. Later fights are similar. Johnny can't move, and the horses can't really be involved in many fights that directly so instead every fight feels spatially stagnant.
That bed looks so heavy that it's amazing the floor isn't collapsing under its weight
This is the worst opinion I've ever seen, bravo
Keep proving him right
tfw Part 9 storytime won't create any real fuss because of how consistently good it is so far
kira should have put a baby in that bitch
Its easy to pretend that your posts are popular and repost screencaps from them, then actually make a cogent reply, right?
That actually sounds right, I hadn't really thought about it on the whole until now.
What about the models? Someone just posted Britney Spears for Lucy so far.
I'm admittedly disappointed that they didn't tweak Heaven's Falling Down over the course of the episodes.
each child gets their shadow taken away when they've been fully revealed in their respective episodes
Weather's background being cleared of the clouds after his backstory revealed
They've done this sort of stuff before, not sure why they didn't.
They're right. Here's another (you)
youtube.com
Chase is the best opening th- NANI! No but really it has the best song and the visuals, like every op, are great.
Considering what their job is he is right about Gyro needing to steel himself. He can't feel sorry for people on death row and he has to make life or death choices as a doctor. That being said The wekipipo arc marks him as a hypocrite
People will hype up part 8 because anons love to be contrarion.
I think people are confusing art for panelling. The art in SBR is top-tier but yes the panelling and fight choreography can sometimes be confusing or not flow as well as in previous parts. And you're right that Johnny is often in bizarre positions considering he cannot walk. During Scary Monsters anons were even confused how the fuck he was following Gyro and jumping across the gorge. Just this volume he was climbing a staircase in his wheelchair.
I love them all
There is no bad JoJo part
these 2 faggots have been ruining every single thread while pretending like SBRfags are the worst
The irony
Honestly these threads have made me despise SO/VAfags when I didn't before.
I've found that even contrarians can't defend part 8 without looking dumb
They end up just whelping because they run out of cool moments after chapter 30
These storytimes have reminded me that every part is good but they each have a major issue in the writing that ends up making some unravel more than others
Keep proving him right
Based. JoJo is the best series.
It's pretty funny to me that he finally admitted he only hates SBR because VA is his favorite part
Also funny to see a part 3 fag act like their part isn't the most overrated shit of all time
I'd say overall there's no manga like it
I actually kind of agree, especially with the main character being restricted to one or two arm motions as their main ways of attacking (plus, horse running does nothing for me). But like that other anon said, the ART is still pretty good, and even the panelling is some of Araki's best. But yeah, it's not the most dynamic stuff he's done.
Based part9CHAD
VA is his favorite part
When he's bringing up SO and lamenting how it's not popular compared to SBR
???
That one SBRfag coping that every single criticism of the story was someone samefagging was slightly worse, but this is still really obnoxious.
It really wasn't. The guy nitpicking everything not because he has issues with the story but to do so for the sake of it is the real problem here
Imagine wasting over 200 posts in an afterparty thread over a fucking samefag like cmon now
No they weren't. The "critiquers" have reached a state where they're straight up seething that anons are enjoying SBR
was slightly worse
No it fucking wasn't, are you insane?
No they weren't.
You're literally doing it right now acting as if that one guy is indicative of everyone who's said anything negative about SBR.
They're an SOfag, anon. They're perpetual victims.
looking up jojo porn at all
Bruh
I agree as well. After part 4 the panels are too cluttered. I'm not much of an artfag but the line work in Part 3 is beautiful, I don't know if he changed pens or whatever but this looks so good
anti-SBRfags strawman
SBRfags strawman
anti-SBRfags strawman harder
SBRfags strawman harder
Where does it end?
I have questions.
Why the fuck are people unironically partswarring now? I don't remember even VA's afterparties being like this. It's such a nonsensical thing to be assblasted about, your tastes will inevitable change as time goes on and the spot for your favourite part will oscillate.
Why can't I fuck wood goddamnit?!
The people saying negative shit about SBR ITT are predicating it entirely on
stop having fun
praising it means you're shitting on other parts
my preferred part is better because (subjective opinion phrased as though it's objective)
I think it's overrated, my preferred part deserves more praise
Yeah, that's a pretty good way to see it. For example, Part 2 is pretty much the Joseph Show from start to finish, which I think is both its greatest strength and weakness. He's very entertaining and had plenty of great moments (which can apply to the Pillar Men as well), but the supporting cast that surrounds him are lackluster as a collective and definitely could've been done better if Araki was able to make the part longer. So if Joseph and the Pillar Men are enough for you to really enjoy it (and a lot of people understandably do), Part 2 will be up there for your favorite. But if those four don't carry it for you and/or the weak supporting cast drags it down hard for you, you'll probably put it on the lower side of parts.
Because you need wood to fuck wood
regular
lol. lmao, even.
Byproduct of other partfags having a perpetual chip on their shoulders about part 7 being overrated. They've had a vendetta against it from the beginning.
See:
Pretending Jojo doesn't have some godly porn
If you don't like Detnox or Jumbo Gumbo, you're basically stuck with trash, Tumblr yuri, or fujo stuff.
anti SBRfags barge in saying stop having fun, you're cringe
SBRfags tell them to fuck off
SBRfags are somehow in the wrong
Stop being a spineless centrist
No, that was 1 guy's opinion which got half a dozen replies and got the thread revolving around it. And even then, he's bringing actual points of discussion too like the paneling. The first time readers also gave a variety of takes both positive and negative.
Take a breather and read what people are saying.
strawmans more
Anon...
IM SURPRISED THE CHAPTERS WERENT ABOUT GYRO GIVEN THE VOLUME HE HAD TODAY
Just looked up those two and they aren't very good
Get good taste for once and look up Dorkbum
ikr, i've finished my ermes ritual and they're still at it, heading to bed rn, see you all tomorrow
eh, detnox got a few gems
Same
Also I love Key West
The yaoi porn is godtier though.
For example, Part 6 still has the common reputation as the part you have to struggle through to get to the 'good part'. And that reputation effectively primes people to treat it as a throwaway and to speedread it and thereby not appreciate the part's merits or quality.
I do think you're right that the vocal praise for part 7 is a big reason why part 6 is so overlooked and underrated, but so what?
That doesn't invalidate part 7's quality. People are just giving their honest opinion about what they think the best part is. How is it their fault if retards interpret "the best part" as "the only good part"?
That obviously doesn't apply to this storytime, where part 6 got the praise it rightfully deserved. You're taking out your frustrations on the wrong thread.
The entire 'part skipping' habit within Jojo was significantly kickstarted by this mistaken belief in Part 7 actually being much better than it really is and everything else being preamble you had to push through to get to it.
Again, how is this part 7's fault? How does this make liking part 7 a sin?
I guess we should only ever be allowed to praise part 1 because we might accidentally encourage part skipping if we imply that the series improves at all.
Retards with ADHD who want to skip to the peak will always exist and it's not our responsibility to stay silent about what we personally believe the peak is.
Read the actual thread and see where shit started
the belly disappeared immediately
This is unironically worse than fatal injuries disappearing.
forgot to mention DorkBum
Sorry, all three of them blur together in my head sometimes, but yeah, he's good too. They're the three artists making like 80% of the Jojo porn these days though.
When the biggest strawmanner who probably isn't in either camp gets bored so the end of the part or sooner if people stop giving him (You)s.
We're just another flavor of Anon Babble. Next up we'll be getting the good ol' classic posts about how Jojo stopped being good after [insert shitposter's favorite part] or something.
I'm interested in her plans
It's clear Howler didn't hire her and she's just pretending he did
Her and her crew might also be trying to hustle him as well
And even then, he's bringing actual points of discussion
That guy stopped responding the second anons kept rightfully calling him out for his stupid victim complex. Paneling anon is a different person.
It's obvious that the anti-SBRfags are more annoying itt, but this is an ongoing issue. It's been happening since the change to monthly at least.
Why can't I fuck fictional characters goddamnit!?
Because you don't have Boeheim rhapsody
Johnny did nothing wrong. I'm glad Gyro has fallen in love with him now.
He just wanted someone to love him and now he has gyro
Interesting theory. Wouldn’t be surprised if they come out on top by the end of this arc if you’re right. They ’d have more experience pulling off scams than our crew of high schoolers.
Now that I think of it, does JoJo have Genwunners? I'd assume the closest we'd have to that would either be people who only like 1-3 or people who liked JoJo before the 2012 anime.
the parts during Wekapipo fight where Gyro keeps using his body as a human shield for Johnny
It's subtle, but it's there
I shot him.
Just gonna say, i love RawazFHK animations, they make good parodies but post rarely (understandable) and recently discovered PyrusDen, wish they got more views on the recent works
what chapter does stardust crusaders entire season end in the manga? i'm watching the anime now but i feel like i could consume the story in half the time
Given that Araki MIGHT have watched breaking bad, it could be she's a saul goodman type who acts like a friend to the client so that they can get a bigger cut of the revenue
First season goes up to High Priestess. Second season starts with Geb and goes up to the finale.
152 chapters
There are rare PB elitists but they generally like BT and don't hold a huge grudge towards it like genwunners do towards Johto.
I'll check 'em out sometime. It's always a treat to see new JoJo fan content.
sorry, counting from battle tendency or phantom blood
And then him reaching a point where he confesses his deepest secret that even his brothers don't know to Johnny coupled with this content expression
Kino
Agreed.
Every part does things well and things badly.
How you rank a part says more about you and what you prioritize in a story than it does about the part itself.
My bad but still. Some people being retards or legitimately having misunderstandings shouldn't overshadow the others who've thought things out and still have gripes. Some SBRfags got really mad at the former and that's what's landed us where we are right now.
I don't blame anyone for not suffering fools, but the worst way to react to that is to dismiss everything altogether and start counter-shitposting.
There was that one anon who said he only liked 1, 2, and 7.
Part 3 anime pacing
You almost certainly could.
Here is the point here Gyro realized that he can truly live free
Is that why he chills out and stops being an asshole from here on out? Did dedicating himself to Johnny's goal instead bring him peace?
I neeed more tho
The end of crusaders would be the 265th chapter of the entire series
yup yup, love me high quality content
they do have couple million views on the shorts animations, but overall they're not as known as Rawaz, still pretty good, i love when i get to see HQ content that people post for free

it dissapeared fast and we didn't got enough
I don't think there's any true Jojo genwunners who think everything after Phantom Blood is shit.
Pokemon genwunners are pure nostalgiafags who think gen 1 is good because they grew up with it and other gens are bad because they didn't grow up with them.
You don't really get that with Jojo, especially in the west, because all of the parts came out too close together to only have nostalgia for one of them.
There might be Jojo genwunners somewhere in Japan who were kids in the 80's and were so pissed that Jonathan died and was replaced by Joseph that they dropped the series. But they'd have to be like unicorns.
days behind
Catching is gonna be a struggle
I grew up with gen 1 but Pokemon didn't really feel special until gen 3 to me desu. Still the best gen
woman moment
next chapter will be endless Lucy gooning
Oh good, I don't have to worry about missing tomorrow
women love SBR
It's a beautiful love story, I can see why
this lucy? scarlett's pov btw.
Yet
He always cared about Jonny, he teaches him spin because of that, but this is the moment that he realized that JoJo is his best friend and that there more in life.
See, until this point Gyro never have a responsibility, a path that he chose, now he finally discovered what he truly wants.
Is kinda like what drove the European settlers to the new continent, not a "better" life, but a new life.
SBR made a lot of analogies with the time with is set, like how Valentine is metaphor for the "big stick police" and so on.
She is putting a lot of hustle in this muscle
they both would've had better lives if they just accepted that the real corpse parts was the friendship they made with each other along the way
It's interesting how we haven't really focused on Valentine for the entire first half yet people still consider him the best villain
Says a lot about what he says and does for the screentime he has
If only someone else next part learnt from that....
Having friends is a w*man moment.
IIRC isn't there a point where Gyro actually suggests they should stop their endeavor?
I love the emotional Depth Araki is trying to add to the story, Johnny and Gyro are great characters that people can sympathize or dislike depending on your own worldviews and so far I'm looking forward for what comes next
youtube.com
With this, we have now reached the middle point of SBR. I can safely say it's still my favorite part through this reread. Johnny, Gyro, Lucy, Stephen, Diego, Hot Pants, Sandman, Mountain Tim, Ringo, Blackmore, and Valentine... all genuinely great in their own right. Now couple them with some great fights, sequences, and excellent art and it's chef's kiss. While part of me knows DP will fuck up the anime adaptation somehow, I can't help but still look forward to it.
Based. A True Man doesn't have any friends. All he needs is a shack in the middle of nowhere and the occasional dueling partner.
I think what annoys me the most about the shitflinging is that nobody has been honestly reassessing part 7.
Every other part has had the thread mostly realizing that how they remembered the part is different from how it actually was, a lot of people changed their rankings, and characters like Stroheim, Avdol, Shigechi, Prosciutto, and Anasui got a new level of appreciation.
But part 7 has all just been either attacking or defending it. I feel like everyone is gonna come out of this storytime with their opinions reinforced rather than changed.
Which kinda sucks. The reevaluation is what I like most about storytimes for already popular series.
Maybe there has been some and I just missed it because the threads are so fast, but at the very least the overall tone has shifted from discussion to argument.
Sort of before the chase the Train Gyro tells Johnny this is the last moment they can walk away, since he assumes they both might die to Valentine. It's a really nice moment cause they tell each other their secrets too
K*no overload.
Unf making a bet with Miraschon and losing and I have to repay her by emptying my balls full of semen into her throat
this but gwess
He does
Gyro reaches a point where he values his friendship with Johnny more than his original goal of Marco and appeasing his father
wants to basically stop their suicide mission so they'll be safe
but Johnny still needs to get back to zero
You can see in his face that he's hesitant to bring up Lesson 4 because he doesn't want to continue, but he's willing to do it for Johnny as Johnny was willing to give up his entire reason for not killing himself for Gyro.
I dunno about the shitposters but I re-read SBR a few months ago so not much changed for me but I think Civil War is prob my favorite arc in it and the Lucy parts are a lot better then I remember
Hmm, that's sadly true. I had a lot of problems with SBR going in, and nothing's really changed my mind in a positive way. The only things I like more so far are Pocoloco and Chumi-chan (forma de renacuajo y forma de perchero).
Ah well. There's still hope for the second half. Maybe Chocolate DISCO will be a sleeper hit.
I have to admit he's written better than DIO as a looming big bad in the distance if nothing else.
I didn't realize how egregious the spin was on my first read so I've definitely soured on the part a bit. I'm iffy on the fights too, but SBR is bottom heavy with them in terms of quality so we'll see.
I think it might even be before that IIRC, I think it's after who shot Johnny
I think it's obvious that Jobin was meant to be the main villain until Araki lost his mind in the final stretch.
Eh, for me the unique strong suit of SBR is how focused it is and how well written the characters are. I've never found the fights exceptional except for a couple, but that was never the point of SBR to me. I go to 6 or 5 for fights, I go to 7 for emotional kino and I go to 4 for comfy.
Gyro reaches a point where he values his friendship with Johnny more than his original goal
You can see in his face that he's hesitant to bring up Lesson 4 because he doesn't want to continue
Huh. I never thought of it that way. I thought he was just being a faggot.
I can't wait for part 8 threads to be pure Kino
I think Valentine's presence is really well managed. We get a lot of time to establish him as the villain before learning what kind of villain he is.
But to be fair, just being present this early is enough to give him an edge over that other villain.
Even Diavolo had more presence than that villain when we couldn't see his face.
I love Yasuho
She's my wife!
The entire sequence with Valentine where Lucy stabs him and he falls under the chair, then she lifts it back up and he sits up to reveal D4C
Is pure 10/10 fucking kino. Honestly everything with him is great.
I FUCKING LOVE YASUHO-CHAAA~AAAAAN!!! PRETTY PINK WAIFU EROTIC!!! ToT ToT ToT
Joshuu...
Part 7 is the most liked part here and people who like SBR the best know exactly why they like it best so they're not going re-rank it any lower like Parts 4 and 5 fans did during storytimes. Also, because a lot of criticisms early on boiled down to farnsworth spam, it led to a slippery slope of people not taking the criticisms seriously to the point almost nobody is willing to give a listen to even the more legitimate criticisms that are brought up. It might also be that some people are scared their part will get torn to shreds like what happened to Part 5 so they're going all in on the defensive to prevent that from happening.
The closest people I think had with re-evaluating Part 7 was the first race was actually pretty good and the ending of Catch The Rainbow being pretty weak, especially since Blackmore was pretty competent prior. I'm not sure if I would count everything that was being discussed with True Man's World; in particular, was Gyro characterized correctly and what does it truly mean to enter a TMW, because that was definitely resulting in so many heated (though admittedly interesting) debates. People seem to agree that the duel was at least cool and the art for it was sick.
I think Blackmore had a pretty big reputation boost in this thread for his unexpected competence, and that even outside of that one guy who seethes whenever anyone uses the Spin for anything, people have realized that it really is just Hamon 2.0 with all of the same vagueness and asspulls.
But for the most part, you're right. SBR as a whole seems like its reputation isn't gonna change.
I think I enjoy JoJo more when it's just a two-man duo and not a whole group. Probably explains why I like Parts 1 & 2 so much kek.
Tooru...
Araki is better at handling smaller casts I think
I re-read SBR twice last year so nothing changed for me, Diego is still my favorite.
Don't ever compare me to that riggerfaggot again, or I'll slap my four balls across your face.

Oye also got a bit of love for some brief endearing moments (Dude... you're telling them...) and having a cool Stand, even if his arc was short lived. The translation also randomly making him sigh in comic sans was an unintentional charming point for him.
I think 7 is objectivelly the best written one but I will always love 2 the most, it's just consistently good, I love the setting and Joseph is just too charming as a protagonist. Although I wish it was written at a time when Araki could make it longer and develop Caesar more.
There is no need to be so upset my fellow human
I indeed hate rocks too they can't even float in water. Disgusting life forms of nature
We humans must stick together, tell me your social security number so i may protect it from any rock humans nearby
Ermes is ugly
Guard! Take this man to the "penis explosion" chamber! [penis exploding]
Don't have one, sorry. But if you're set on protecting my household, my adoptive father has a comfy room in his basement you can sleep in.
ermes is ugly

Low T post, anyways... THE WONDER OF YOUUUUUUU *muffled scream in the distance*
Finish this sentence
"Rock Humans are _"
Rock Humans.
I remembered a long time ago, I used to hate Part 2 and thought it was overrated. As I've gotten older, I think I've chilled the fuck out and re-read it, allowing me to understand why people enjoy it as much as they do. I'm admittedly more indifferent towards it nowadays, but I've come to appreciate it for what it is. It's a huge step forward into truly making JoJo about a Bizarre Adventure.
For me, its catch the rainbow.
Can anyone crop this Valentine?
Ermes is a rock human btw
Must explain why she's so ugly
if they pick some ugly colors for this dude...
blackmore is blonde too
How many blondies are in part 7?
They work better as a tragic relationship rather than true friends
This. No other duo in Jojo had this kind of stuff going on. I love tragic tsundere Caesar, despite him being a jobber
Eh... I mean, only 7 handles it better with Gyro. With 1, there's Speedwagon who's cool and Zeppeli who died after a volume. With 2, only Stroheim came out on top with Lisa Lisa and Ceasar being done dirty. And then there's 8, which... well, it depends on who you define as part of the core group. Not to say big group casts are better considering Avdol, Iggy, Abbacchio, Fugo, and Weather all exist but still.
Erina is ugly
Have you lost your fucking MIND?
I figured the hair was part of the mask.
Ugly as a doorknob
You just gonna keep posting this same panel again and again, or...?
To be honest I just don't like seeing people enjoy shit.
Please be my malewife Yotsuyu
No Hot Pants
Disappointing
beyond homosexual
Yall ready for Jojolion to redeem itself during its dump?
Dio...
Abbachio...
Nah. He says before that that they should quit there after such a dangerous run-in/discovering Valentine's power/prioritizing his friendship Johnny over his original goals. But after accepting that Johnny isn't gonna give up, he teaches him Lesson 4
The master race
She's one of the good ones
Dio
Yeah
Gyro's face in pic related
Me...
reading Jojo for the women
Gayest fucking thing you can do, kill yourself.
It's a huge step forward into truly making JoJo about a Bizarre Adventure
except until SBR, part 2 nailed the "bizarre" and "adventure" parts the most. The others usually lacked in the "adventure" department
I also don't like seeing people enjoy Stone Ocean but I never went on a shitposting crusade against SOfags in the storytime because I respect other people's tastes.
This scene alone is enough for fujos to draw thousands of art of Joseph and Ceasar having gay sex.
I also don't like seeing people enjoy Stone Ocean
Guys guys guys guys guys guys. What if the horses were the people, and the people were the horses?
CaeJose is the poor man's Gyjo
Which makes them based
Also BASED Messina Caejose shipper!
Joseph and Johnny ended up as the best fathers
Whores win.
They needed Zeppelis to turn them from a hoe to a housewife
Personally, I thought Part 3 did a good job making it feel like a bizarre adventure. The characters getting hit with culture shock and learning about Southeast Asia was fun for me. It was also a lot funnier than I remember it being. Not knee-slapping funny 24/7, but it gave me sensible chuckles more than I thought and I think the art being very expressive sells it. But I also don't mind the series not being an adventure in every part. As long as I enjoy the characters (both complex and simple) and the story doesn't drag its pacing out, I'm usually content.
joseph’s a deadbeat to his bastard son
johnny dies to a boulder while his son’s still a toddler
Jolyne and Josuke would be greato parents but never got the chance to.
Thieves get no sex
>Joseph
Jotaro (forma de reboot) is the best father.
Joseph is not a whore, he's right there with me and our three 100% WHITE EUROPEAN kids. What are you talking about?
How would the SBR main characters fare against the journey of the Stardust crusaders?
Each character replacing one crusader and having to battle the same enemies
Johnny replaces Jotaro, Rina will die in 50 days if he doesn't defeat DIO
Gyro replaces Kakyoin and starts under DIO's mind control
Hot Pants replaces Joseph, she has some Intel about DIO from the Vatican
Soundman replaces Avdol, he knows about DIO's whereabouts because of... Ehhh, indian wisdom or something
Diego (Scary monsters) replaces Polnareff, the Hanged man user is also the guy who tried to rape his mother and made their lives hell
Wekapipo replaces Iggy (or Mountain Tim, pic your poison if you want)
Also Johnny starts with act 4 and his functioning legs, Gyro starts with Ballbreaker, and Diego can't get The World. All of them have their horses
Can they survive the journey and beat DIO?
Cheated on Suzie Q to get with you
He's a whore, I hope Suzie kills you both.
they have no way to get rid of the flesh buds so they die to the lovers
Jotaro is a shit father in every universe.
Joseph yumejo schizo...
The streets of Cairo seemed to be near empty once Jotaro and DIO started fighting so Johnny would have room to ride his horse and activate Tusk Act IV.
Suzie who? My husband doesn't know such person
Diego and DIO co-existing must a mind fuck honestly.
Scary Monsters would go pretty far in part 3 though.
based yumejo
I know you would've given Joseph a son and saved us from J*taro
they have no way to get rid of the flesh buds
Spin? CAN DO THAT
Gyro starts as a flesh bud victim
How can they save him?
We all accept Johnny and Gyro would've run away together if Gyro lived right?
Irene cares what he thinks and isn't bitter. He is a great father.
Hot Pants lobotomizes him then immediately heals it with Cream Starter
Where's the emoji chart?
KINO
Cute
Would they go back to Italy and raise their children there?
Johnny starts with Act 4
Gyro starts with Ballbreaker
Scary Monsters Diego
Hot Pants heal slutting
I can see them surviving the journey and beating DIO.
Dio gets cocky and tries to trade blows or tank a shot from Tusk
gets turned into a limp noodle
I'm at work so I won't be able to post an updated one until tomorrow
could've gotten the gay end
instead we get mutt end and JJL/JJLA
Measurably better ending, so yes
Their team is more broken than SDC so they win
The last 3 parts have been boring as hell. Where's Rohan?
Araki, you fucking drew it.
KILL YOURSELF ARAKI
Araki…
Just tried Soundman's white man running style IRL and I can confirm it works.
What you call ''cope'', i call ''hope''.
Yes Yes I would
Parts 2, 6, and 8 feel very focused on BIZARRE.
Parts 3, 5, and 7 feel very focused on ADVENTURE.
Parts 1, 4, 5, and 9 are relatively grounded and set in one location, but they still have some bizarre elements.
I'm surprised he wasn't brought back sooner in Jojolion.
im sure norisuke will introduce us to rohans ancestor, gohan
I don't understand Araki's boner for Rohan, surely the eastern fanbase is bored of this fucker?
people used to think Rai Mamezuku was SBR universe Rohan
He wouldn't be caught dead in them. Jojo Day on the other hand...
The main problem is not their strength but their versatility, most crusaders had stands that could do a bunch of things and that helped against all the different kinds of stands they faced
For example how would Gyro and Diego Deal with Hanged Man? Or how would Gyro face Death 13? What about Judgement (or was it justice? Enya's stand, I don't remember the name)?
This is the actual challenge because for the most part SBR stands are quite one note, funnily enough Soundman has the most versatile stand here
Johnny loves Gyro
Gyro loves Johnny
Araki's best couple
Part 5
adventure
They're in one country. Meanwhile in part 2 you have globetrotting with Joseph going to three different countries and the whole theme of ancient Aztec civilization and military exploring ancient secrets Indiana Jones-style
I'd say 4 and 6 are most bizarre desu
t. Araki's inner monologue while writing 7
Do you think Gyro starts railing that shit when Johnny's asleep? It's not like he'll be able to feel it?
Araki's boner for Rohan
He's his self-insert.
surely the eastern fanbase is bored of this fucker?
Rohan x Josuke is the main fujo ship for Part 4. He's easily the second or third most beloved character of that part.
I remember when a time traveler anon said SBRverse Rohan was a cute girl. But I think he was right about flashback man never appearing.
What about Judgement (or was it justice? Enya's stand, I don't remember the name)?
Justice was Enya's stand, Judgement was the HAIL 2 U stand. It's okay, I get the names mixed up too on the occasion.
There are going to be so many [STILL SHOT WITH ACTION LINES DENOTING MOVEMENT] in the part 7 anime to get around the horses and Johnny somehow moving so much
It's going to be a slideshow
Whoops, second half was meant for
in the beginning
Yes
after Sugar Mountain
He starts asking Johnny beforehand
they're in one country
They do a decent amount of traveling. The fact that I accidentally put it in two categories should tell you it's a pretty minor adventure.
in part 2 you have globetrotting with Joseph going to three different countries
Part 2's so short though, and basically all the traveling is off-screen.
Most of the fights are with regular-ass people. There's aliens and serial killers and catplants, but it's still not all that weird. Certainly not weirder than Pillar Men and rock humans and schizo priest apocalypses (plural).
how would Gyro and Diego deal with hanged man
Something something Dinosore vision.
Gyro face Death 13
IIRC, you can't bring STANDS into Death 13's world, but who said anything about Steel Balls?
Judgement
I forgot how that one worked, but wasn't it kinda like how spin could control your body and force you to kill yourself? I feel like Spin could somehow counter it. I mean, it can do other things, why shouldn't it?
"Slideshow Run", they'll call it.
You can bring stands if you had them active as you fell asleep. Idk maybe Gyro would have to leave his steel balls spinning as he fell asleep or something.
Counterpartfags are retards who care more about fan service than what the stories want to tell.
he was right about flashback man never appearing.
Who the fuck expected this to be brought up again when it was very obviously retconned?
The steel balls should count as much as the sleeping bags for the crusaders did.
I can unironically see Johnny killing Manish Baby.
Slide Ocean
Slide Show Run
this baby is a fucking terroist, Gyro!
Where does the idea that Star Platinum is Jonathan's ghost come from? That it kind of looks like him? That's not very compelling. Star Platinum is by all implication like most other stands, a manifestation of the user's soul. Star Platinum might be intended to resemble Jotaro and Jotaro is the great great grandson of Jonathan, thus Jotaro resembles Jonathan.
Gyro immediately kills Nena with a steel ball
"Wow Gyro, how'd you know that woman was a stand user?"
"Stand user?"
And he'd be based for it.
Where does the idea that Star Platinum is Jonathan's ghost come from?
Some edited screenshot of Jonathan saying if he dies, he'll haunt dio. Of course, that's not what he said at all.
Star Platinum being Jonathan's ghost is a little silly, but I like the idea that The World is Jonathan's Stand, and that's why it's so similar to Jotaro's.
Speed watchers of the anime
this enemy is a terrorist
Diego is a terrorist
the president is a terrorist
the whole race is a terrorist
this whole country is a terrorist
Gyro is NOT a terrorist
I love Johnny's autism
N'Doul gets nodiffed by Gyro chucking a steel ball from across the map
Kek SBR heroes in SDC would be so fun.
Hol Horse solos all of part 7.
when characters die in EOH, their partners cry out their names
when Gyro dies in EOH, Johnny just cries incoherently
Feels bad man
Hol Horse and Gyro interactions would be fucking gold.
How much did Suzy beat Joseph's ass for cheating on her?
The time traveling anon said this around the time he first appeared iirc, so I guess we were expecting something outta it.
How does one speedwatch an anime?
Hol Horse would have a lot to say about Gyro not letting ladies on his horse, Mista.
Most accurate portrayal of a burgerfat.
How does one speedwatch an anime?
Increase play speed.
Suzi is a good little cuckqueen. She wouldn't say SHIT.
The World is Jonathan's stand
Hermit Purple 2 is DIO's stand
oh no no KWAB
Is Joseph the sexiest old man ever?
The entire 'part skipping' habit within Jojo was significantly kickstarted by this mistaken belief in Part 7 actually being much better than it really is and everything else being preamble you had to push through to get to it.
I'm pretty sure part skipping is most often brought up in the context of skipping to Part 3 because it introduces Stands which are used for the rest of the series. It's always "Hamon is dropped after the first two parts and Stands are more interesting/iconic", not "Skip to SBR because it's the only good part". Strange victim complex, especially considering SBR doesn't have an anime yet so it isn't something you can promote to extremely casual fans or people with interest from memes
Gyro is redpilled, Hol Horse wouldn't understand
At that moment, Suzi recalls all the piller man knowledge from when Esidisi took over her and slaughters Joseph
He can be a dummy sometimes but in a endearing kind of way.
>Gyro is NOT a terrorist
Didn't he literally steal some steel from some train tracks?
he had to sleep outside for days
SBR doesn't have an anime yet so it isn't something you can promote to extremely casual fans or people with interest from memes
It's one of the most critically acclaimed manga. SBR is absolutely embedded in mainstream already.
Suzy Q rape corrected joseph after she found out he cheated on her
I'm pretty sure part skipping is most often brought up in the context of skipping to Part 3 because it introduces Stands which are used for the rest of the series.
It's exactly this. I don't know what that anon was smoking but as other anons succinctly put it, they got a victim complex.
My husband literally doesn't know those old women lmao
that ugly cry
Whew. My condolences to whoever voices him in the anime kek.
for Johnny, terrorism = people I don't like
Most normies aren't even aware of part 7. Get out of your bubble
Would you still love part 4 Joseph?
For example, Part 6 still has the common reputation as the part you have to struggle through to get to the 'good part
i was a victim of this. i read "all you need to know about part 6 is that the universe resets at the end and part 7 takes place in a new universe". i genuinely thought for the longest time that part 7's universe was a result/caused by part 6's universe reset, even after finishing part 6 i was still confused thinking that part 7 had something to do with part 6's ending thanks to those comments.
Most normalfags are barely aware Jojo exists. Your metric makes no sense.
avdol...
I'm not saying it's obscure, just that I'm almost certain it isn't most people's first exposure to Jojo. The series IS mainstream, but you'd think Part 3 would be the one that anon posits as overshadowing the others given its insane popularity through memes. It's the most iconic part
Filler part, not canon
Normies are at least aware of part 1-6 due to the anime, 3 being the most famous. Again, get out of your bubble
Joseph was humiliated less than Jotaro so I don't see why not.
skip Part 1, it's boring
skip Part 2, Hamon is irrelevant
skip Part 3, it's not when Stands get good
skip Part 4, it's filler
skip Part 5, it's also filler
skip Part 6, it tries too hard to be bizarre
skip Part 7, it's not animated (yet)
skip Part 8, its ending is shit
skip Part 9, it's not finished yet
skip JoJo, you probably wouldn't like it
I'm gonna need a complete album of all the drawfags after this storytime
Fuck didn’t even notice this peak.
I don't know one way or the other about your main point but it has to be a lot of people's first exposure due to clout alone.
They're aware of the first 3 parts at best. Even 5 is a stretch.
you'd think Part 3 would be the one that anon posits as overshadowing the others given its insane popularity through memes. It's the most iconic part
Because the anon you're responding to is a butthurt SOfag who's mad people are enjoying SBR even though the storytime threads for 6 were great. Literally just shadowboxing.
skip Jojo and read an ACTUALLY good manga, Baoh
Joseph was humiliated less than Jotaro
Funny how that turned out kek.
but it has to be a lot of people's first exposure due to clout alone.
Part 3? Yes
Part 7? No fucking chance in hell. Go on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, tiktok, etc. there's barely any shit for 7 compared to the others. Being highly praised on MAL means shit.
Explain Smokey's stand.
anons trying to imply JoJo isn't mainstream now
It's not 2011 anymore.
My hero... taken too soon...
his husbando*
Not involved in this ''discussion'' but it seems like you guys are talking about two different kind of ''normalfags''. there are the turbo uber normalfags that know next to nothing about anime and then there are the normalfags that watch anime now and then but still consider it a cringe embarrassing hobby overall and only like it ''ironically''. the latter ''like'' JoJo but only for the memes, and they know about SBR through reddit memes.
Part 3 is absolutely the most well known and seen part. Even my mates who I have to borderline harass to give the other parts a chance, have seen part 3. In my case, the reason why I watched 3 first was because I was sorting my chronological and the first thing that you see come up is the SDC OVA, so I honestly thought it was the first one
It became mainstream wheh the part 5 anime aired and then died out cuz Netflix shit the bed with 6
it isn't at least not like in 2014

It means a fuckton regardless of relative comparison. It's not like Jojo only popped into existence with the anime.
I don't doubt that but part 7 is pretty big.
Yeah, but Johnny likes him
Imagine Johnny & Gyro meeting Mariah.
samefag but see all the johnny can't walk memes from retards that did not read sbr because if they did they'd know he walks
Who?
She’d actually be able to make them fuck not just dry hump
The Leaky Eyed one.
is a retarded bumbling retard with the shittiest stand in part 3, not a single moment to truly shine, often the butt of the joke, unlike Jotaro, who's basically never the butt of the joke
is character assassinated in part 4 after the reveal that he randomly cheated on his longtime wife and didn't know about his bastard son for 16 years
Nah I think Joseph's humiliation ritual was worse. Jotaro is always the poster boy, he's constantly wanked in video games, he steals the show from Josuke in part 4 and that is somehow "ok", but Joseph couldn't get a strong stand and be competent in SDC because he would "overshadow" JAPtaro, sure...
jobbed to a frog
Mind blowing sex with Sugar Mountain while I'm a tree
We could’ve had Joseph defeat Alessi after getting de-aged but we needed standless kid Jotaro beating him up to show how cool and badass he is
I said MY HERO, my kind gangstar hero who did nothing wrong.

It's not like Jojo only popped into existence with the anime.
It didn't, what I was originally attempting to refute was the SOfag's notion that Part 7 was a contributor to partskipping when that's less likely than Part 3 being the culprit for several reasons. It is simply less accessible to the average person who would partskip (no anime, which is a large factor when bringing in new blood) and makes less sense as an entry point because stands as a concept have been a thing for the previous 4 Parts. You could argue that a fan of any part would advocate skipping to that part because every part is highly regarded by its fans, but in terms of pure outreach Stardust Crusaders has reached the most people
Would've been nice
I hate Japtaro so much
Now that you talk about Speedwagon, I think Araki killer Mountain Tim to make the SBR cast small, and way in jojolion we only have Josuke E Yasuo for most of the manga
I think Part 3 Joseph was cool.
even Rohan is allowed to be humiliated occasionally
but never Jotaro
I think the chuuni thing is just headcanon to make him more interesting than he actually is and his "le stoic badass" thing is supposed to be taken seriously.
it's another who had it worse competition
Let's just agree that both characters could've been handled better.
That's why I said I don't know. It just sounded like you were underestimating SBR.
Same I love boomer Joseph.
but never Jotaro
uh... did you miss stone ocean?
People saying Giorno's healing powers are a leftover from the original intention to make him a girl
Really? Because I thought Gold Experience was always meant to reflect Jonathan's Hamon abilities. You know, like how Jonathan's first use of Hamon was making a dead tree blossom?
Part 5 always had a shit reputation and then the shit anime came out and shitsuckers somehow liked it and started blaming a "bad translation" for it being shit but it was just shit.
Part 4 Joseph saving Achtung Baby made me tear up
Based anon.
that nigger got off easy compared to Polnareff
This is what I thought as well. Seems like most people forgot about it, however.
Doesn't really make sense since Crazy Diamond is also a healing Stand and Josuke was never meant to be female. Also Jolyne didn't have a healing stand either.
It reminds me of that dream I had about alternate SDC where Dio donuts Jotaro and (younger looking) Joseph gives Dio the final blow and decapitates him with hamon filled HP. This dream got me really wet when I woke up ngl
Part 7? No fucking chance in hell. Go on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, tiktok, etc. there's barely any shit for 7 compared to the others.
Part 7 videos make fucktons of views on Youtube and probably TikTok as well.

who is saying that? did you misinterpret picrel or something?
We could’ve had Joseph defeat Alessi after getting de-aged
This is not how Sethan works. It works insanely fast, because Alessi wants to kill children. He would not target Joseph unless he was sure he was off guard. That said, I agree that Jotaro defeating him was quite boring, since he just showed up to help finish up the job like the fight against Enya.
I hope it's Yuki Kaji again...
DP will make the anime some dogshit slideshow like SO because Jap fans don't care about SBR like they do VA
moving the goalpost
i dont care about polnareff
the shit anime
Say that again.
I haven't seen buff giorno in so long
it wasn't a humiliation, he was just flat out absent and when he came back he immediately rescued Jolyne from a fight she was winning handily before.
Yumejo...
They still made him a deadbeat dad.
making Jotaro a good father would be too unbelievable.
At least not a cheater and a retard with a weak stando. Joseph was all that AND an absent father to Japsuke
This banana
This bananaaaaa
This banana I just peeled...

And it's dessicated
The banana is dessicated
But
I just peeled this banana
What is going on?
This freshly peeled banana
This banana I just peeled...
Is dessicated
Uoohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Shit you’re right. I remember Kid Joseph saving Speed Wagon during a plane hijacking so I guess him being useful against Alessi him could have been possible.
retard with a weak stando
Why is this the worst thing ever all of a sudden?
I'm too used to the color pages. I forgot how much scarier TuskAct 4 is in B&W.
jobs after being introduced and then is gone for most of the part
jobs again at the very end
if it was real jotarowank he would have won at the end like in eoh
Your stand is your mojo given form
Weak stand = weak mojo
UOOOOOAAAAAAH!
What did he mean by that?
I want to see Act 1 and 4 interact with each other
Manga is always better in black and white.
Golly, that is rather spooky.
Picrel
Why do all the yumejo gravitate towards the Joestars and their sidekicks? Where's the yumejoshi for the last member of THE eleven guys? The man who SAVED the main cast with his kakugo to stay alive and goodwill not to just forfeit the deal?
Assuming Joseph only touched Sethan's shadow as long as Polnareff did in their first encounter (apparently a literal second or so), Joseph would deaged to about his mid 30s to early 40s if my math is right. In order to become Kidseph, he would need to be there for maybe 4ish seconds? Malèna/brown wife was turned into a fetus when she was in the shadow for 10 seconds.
Even gayer than the Dio after he suddenly went went forma da biker homosex in the second half of his fight in 3.
the main problem is all of Jotaro's wins in SDC besides Dobby suck.
I'm not going to pretend to understand the twisted minds of w*men, but it's pretty funny how men have the opposite thing where they latch onto random background characters with cute designs that never show up again
That'd be chuumi galore.
You sure are.
Poco's sister, my beloved...
they latch onto random background characters with cute designs that never show up again
Don't fucking call me out like this. I might actually have a problem with the amount of minor characters I've shitposted about cause I liked them.
Why is this the worst thing ever all of a sudden?
It's an insult to Joseph's fighting spirit. Anyone who denies his fighting spirit (and his spirit in general) in part 2 just because "he used tactics" instead only power (although he used power too) is a retard. His will to live pushed his half conscious body to fight. He broke Kars' blade with his hand. He honored Wamuu after beating him. He was ready to throw himself into a volcano in order to take his enemy with him while thinking about Jonathan.
men don't care about status in women
Me too bro, it's always a shame immediately understanding that the character you're fixated on won't have any art. This is why I'm learning how to draw, to do my part
Off the top of my head, his wins against Kakyoin, Yellow Temperance, and Geb are fine. He does have some lame wins, like Dark Blue Moon, Enya, and Anubis.
I used to think that character was erina and was very confused when i first watched pb
My brother... where have you been?
Women are only attracted by popular characters. Just like in real life.
Dio
there are no weak stands
also Dio
Joseph your stand is the weakest and it sucks!
Fucking poser
