Jojo afterparty

Let me get it straight, "Josuke" is Kira in the body of Josefumi right?

Jojolion has peaked, it's all the way down hill now. Gentlemen, fujos, its been an honor.

hato added to josuke's harem

Josuke has Soft & Wet and not Killer Queen so what do you think?

Does Walking Heart really need a punching ghost?

THE ONLY GOOD RIGGER IS A DEAD RIGGER

what the fuck josuke mean by this

Always was the case.

Tomorrow is SHITshu arc

Josefumi and Kira both died, and Josuke is a new person occupying a body made from a mishmash of theirs.

Tomorrow is [KINO]

Yup. YUP.

I always thought the ending to the Vitamin C arc brought it down from being perfect, I'd like it more if Walking Heart was used again lol

What a cute happy cuck!

Everyone always dogs on that arc but I think it's fun.

Looking at the rock humans and how they work makes me think Araki based them off the cartel from breaking bad
By this point the show had already ended when the chapters were coming out
Jojolands shows that he most definitely did but now looking at how the rock humans are basically doing drug trafficing, their boss is someone who hides in plain sight, the have a set of twins who are the foot soldiers, and there's a strong theme of family through out the part
It's a stretch but it's something that would make sense

Damo is so fucking cool. Genuinely one of the coolest enemies in all of Jojo. Shame Tooru is so lame.

Baby Blue stand when?

Tomorrow Joshits will not make the OC like they were hyping up from Jojolion's original run and will only spam Anon Babble phrases

can't wait

I guess Araki missed drawing physical body stands because almost everyone has one now in comparison to SBR.

I can tell it's either going to be universally well received or one of the most reviled arcs in this storytime.

If you told me while this was ongoing that it's all mostly down hill from here I'd have called you crazy.

watching a 20 hour long video essay to understand why Toru wasn't dogshit

it's going to be one extreme or the other

No reason for that to be the case. It's nothing more than a fine filler arc.

Even a punch ghost with no special ability would feel cooler to use than other kinds of Stands.

The Higashikatas are all so wasted that it pisses me off in retrospect.

Jousuke won the lottery in his fight against Damo. The one person he saved from that accursed family is the one who is actually a straight fighter with a brutal direct combat ability that instantly mogs anyone they lay their eyes upon in half a second. Everyone except Hato has a primarily non-combat ability, it would have made a lot more sense for Hato to have some weird shit like "I can manipulate colors to see the feelings of memories as butterflies that vibrate in morse code to predict in the future using pop culture song lyrics". But nooooo, she's the one with the "you die now" ability. Bravo Araki.

Jojolion broke Jojo youtube, it was kind of eye opening to see all the coping.

The Higashikata family not being more involved in the plot as either allies or enemies beyond their introductory arcs despite being so central to the plot was one of Araki's biggest mistakes.

Plot points (R=retconned, D=dropped)

Flashback Man (R)

Kira has no family (R)- his mom Holly is a university professor and currently a medical patient and his sister Kyo (formerly Kei) is the Higashikata Maid

Kira died of illness (R)- Yotsuyu was involved in Kira's death, and killed Josuke's non-Kira half, Kujo Josefumi (R)- ackshually (raughs) Yotsuyu pursued them after Damo had fatally wounded Kira and Josefumi solo'd the rock twins, then an earthquake buried Kira + Josefumi

Evil Norisuke (D&R)

Daiya was supposed to mindbreak + enslave Josuke (D)

Bookseller's mark (D)

Josuke wants to go to school (D)

Johnny in Japan

weird baby that washed up on the beach after Johnny's death (rock baby?)

Kira in Higashikata Rape Dungeons near where Josuke was "born" (R) - actually that was Yotsuyu's room and Tsurugi was lying to the readers?

Firstborn Higashikata getting the rock disease

Holly possibly having rock disease

Kira had a cure for rock disease (R)- Kira came to Morioh looking for a cure to rock disease(R)- Kira had a Rokakaka tree(R) specifically because he was trying to cure Holly - Kira and Josefumi stumbled onto the rokakaka fruit and stole branches of it to cure Holly

Kira had something rock humans wanted - a rokakaka tree in his apartment (R) - ackshually it was two branches grafted in the outdoors near the Higashikata House by Josefumi

ROCK HUMANS; like normal people but ROCK except they're 'parasites' and can't have kids with Meat Humans

Jobin is connected to the rock fruit trade (which isn't illegal but that makes it even worse)

Yotsuyu built the stadium Aishou worked at and which contains THE 'fruit'

Karera was Josefumi's stalker (R), never met Kira (R), never had a chance to take the ICONIC group selfie, and was being watched by the ROCK MAFIA; she will return SOON

the wall eyes exist to protect something and have been around since before the quake (R)

Araki be like how about I make the main villain literally impossible to attack so I can write 7 volumes at the end of the part with no fights

It was "fated" to happen this way.

I didn't remember Jojolion having that many punch ghosts but it's a pleasant surprise. Too bad nobody in Jojolands' main cast has a punch ghost.

dumbest Higashikata has the easiest to use Stand

The "liquid of gravity" . . .

Damo certainly feels like a breaking bad character

Tooru's character and Jojolion as a whole sense if you understand Araki's schizo logic.
But understanding them isn't the same as thinking they're good.

「CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION」

Paco will develop a punch ghost and a real stand, all the shit we've seen him doing were actually his pillar men abilities or some pseudoscience he learned in the army.

He reminds me of pre wheelchair hector

Should've at least had a scene where she asks her what type of stand she has.

daddy said not to tell anyone

well could you at least kill someone with it unlike his shitty fucking stand?

You know what the worst part about this is? Despite all the retcons and boring fights and monotony broken by rape, Araki COULD have written a real kino part with Kira and Josefumi. He just chose not to (raughs)

I think he's actually going to work better as a character on a reread if you keep in mind he's also WoU and attribute all those lines to him.
Also his death is one of the best scenes Araki has ever drawn.

Josuke is Kira with Josefumi parts, Haruno is Josefumi with Kira parts +Johnny parts

「CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION」

not 「KID CHARLEMAGNE」

Reminder that Walt canonically listens to Steely Dan.

I dunno, I always figured the concept of WoU is way more interesting than Tooru himself. Even if it's technically him speaking through him there's still a disconnect between them with how they're presented in the story. We'll see though.

This stand feels like it belongs in part 3 or 4

Eh, I'm pretty sure the stuff he's been doing is confirmed to be his stand ability but I guess it's not too late to retcon in a punch ghost.

Today I will remind them. The panel that killed Jojo.

he thinks [REDACTED] is going to get at least a bit of redemption

Both Howler and Ningbo seem to have actual punch ghost stands tho, at least on the side of the villains

Jodio will ora ora and you will clap.

You have enough fighting spirit to actually withstand the burden of a stand ability? right anon?

Fell flat on its face way before this.

Kys retard.

I can't be worse than a baby, right?

Damo should have fucking WON during this arc. Killing Norisuke and maybe some other Higashikata and then escaping. Then the rest of the story is Josuke and rest of the family banding together and hunting down the remaining riggers.

Yeah but I'd probably get something shit or too niche like Norisuke and just resort to using it for self masturbation instead of becoming a hero.

The disconnect is definitely there but on some level it's intentional. Partly because the connection is a secret, partly because there's a deliberate duality between Tooru appearing and acting young and him secretly being extremely old and how that's reflected in his stand looking like an old man. Whether that makes for a good story or not is another matter though. You could argue WoU itself is the main villain but I understand why that doesn't sit right with people.

I already have a Stand. It's a shitty Stand that activates like once every few years. I can't control it, only follow its autistic set of rules. Sometimes I wish I had a punchghost.

Honestly, I think the lack of punchghosts works in Jojolands, since the characters are petty crooks thrust into combat rather than proper fighters.
Same goes for SBR, where one of the main characters isn't a stand user and would be completely outclassed by even one punch ghost. And the wild west setting works better when the heroes can be threatened by guns.

Also his death is one of the best scenes Araki has ever drawn.

it's GREAT but ruined by kaato breaking WoU rules being his demise, either make him die from Go Beyond or in an accident. An accident being the finishing blow would've been more thematically interesting because the inspiration for the part is calamity, the 2011 earthquakes, the Wall Eyes ripping apart and creating Josuke. He could've tied it in a much neater bow. My favorite aspect of Toru's character is him being in love with Yasuho because I believe that's partially real, but he sees her as a pet, or still like a child. Because him dating her in high school wasn't part of his MASTER PLAN he just kinda wanted to. Toru has good subtext but a lot of what his deal was should've been shown on paper, leaves people half-headcanoning what they believe his true motives were. My interpretation was that he was morbidly fascinated with human life and desired it deep down, and that manifested in a stand which allowed him to live two lives at once to be safe from all danger, thus "Safety First". Then separately from that, but sorta connected, he wanted to weaken the human race with medicine he knew harmed them long term and more importantly making humanity reliant on rock humans for help, tipping the scales.

based haruno higashikata enjoyer

"Chuh"

I think the ending has issues. I don't think that's one of them.

Now that the dust has settled, why does Hato's zipper change shape on every page?

Friendly remember that these two men had put their tongues deep into Yasuho's mouth.

If Radio Gaga got away 50 years ago, why didn't he come back to kill Josuke?

My stand「Evil Twin」gives me the ability to mass samefag on image boards. I am 90% of the posters on this site.

ASB devs put Joshuu in as a playable character because they probably thought he'd end up being the Jobro of the part or something

kek

Joshu and N'doul are the only EOH characters who didn't get ported to ASBR

Being a Joshufag must be suffering.

ASB devs thought Jojolion would have a Jobro

araki caved and did it 70 chapters in

Josuke is the JoJo and the Jobro

true and honest arc ranking so far

I mentioned this in the last afterparty thread. I fucking love this ultra-realistic handle, it's so out of place lmao. I hope the anime adapts it by using a 3D ray-traced model for it kek.

The Jobro was Paisley park fixing literally every long range automatic stand fight.

Rai?

There's Rai, but I don't think Josuke sees him as a friend (or vise versa). I always thought their relationship was more like coworkers than anything like a friendship.

remember when Josuke just let his sister die and didn't bother trying to fruit revive her
remember when Josuke just let his mother die and didn't bother trying to fruit revive her

Jousuke...mind

I liked the karera and rigger twins chapters more than most of the automatic stand puzzles.

Spoiler that shit. We have new readers.

but I don't think Josuke sees him as a friend

Rai is more than a friend, he's number one in Jousuke's list of priorities

This is one of the best stand design of Jojolion, even if it only appears briefly, it perfectly fits the user and the context of the scene. Hato was portrayed as a weak minded indecisive crybaby during the entirety of Tamaki Damo's wild ride up until the point she gets serious and her stand is revealed and you can immediately tell, oh yeah, Damo's life is over. She is part 8's Fugo, the only thing her stand does is instakill you at close range because you got the user 300% mad. Damo was just stupidly lucky she was in love and gave him so much chances, then her stand comes out and we finally see what Hato is really like on the inside. Even the majority of serial killers in this series don't typically have such a huge, buff, angular, inflexible, angry-killer-robot-murder-puppet stand.

She is part 8's Fugo

She has way more KAKUGO than Fugone.

I have seen 1 (ONE) post complaining about being spoiled so far.

Which one is better?

Can turn anything touched into a bomb (limited to one at a time) that completely disintegrates a person

Single heat-seeking Sheer Heart Attack that is indestructible

Bites The Dust

Long range air bombs (require Stray Cat)

vs

Long range explosive bubbles

Multiple manually controlled Sheer Heart Attacks that can be microscopic or normal sized and have enough strength to obliterate a pier

I think that Rock people not having emotions is just poorly worded way to say that they can't truly comprehend humans the same way if a lion could talk it would have lion morality

it would've been cool if hato tried attacking jobin when he attacked their dad instead of just standing there fuck you araki

What about a JoJo lion?

If you aren't like OG Kira and care about stealth, then bombarding your opponent with multiple SHAs is way better. I assume OG Josuke wouldn't be able to return them either since they aren't part of Part 8 Kira's hand.

if a lion could talk it would have lion morality

A lion...or maybe a JoJolion, as I live and fucking breathe..

Once it clicks you realise that he's SBRverse Kakyoin and dies like it (green character with a stand made of rope who dies by hole and in the process reveals how to beat the villain).

Araki would have done well to introduce a rockman who is aligned against the villains entirely by chance despite still having fucked up rockman schizophrenia rather than because he's a good guy

actual kino

Both Damo/Vitamin C vols

good

Yotsuyu

good enough

Beetles, S&W

bad but entertaining

Raper Moon King, Rapie-wah

bad and not entertaining

Everything else

Guys I think I found the same yumejo who drew herself being cucked by jotaro. She got better.
youtu.be/JvaaVLQCRTc?si=XofTjnHCMpbLZnbZ

4 out of 5 tiers are positive

4 arcs in perfect

Least obvious JJLfag.

I always figured it just meant they were a bunch of sociopaths who only care about themselves at the end of the day.

I stopped caring when I saw BTW in excellent.

Jojolion thread

look inside

people who like Jojolion

Arc ranking:
Doobie Wah > Highway Star > California King Bed > Rigger twins > Paper Moon King > Shakedown Road > Beetle > Vitamin C

GIORNO!!! Stop!! Give me the arrow, Giorno! I am the chosen boss, you can't just use it yourself, there's no way you could lead our gang!
NO! GIORNO! DON'T LEAD TO THE FUTURE THAT WILL CREATE JOJOLION!!!

How come there's not a single stand named after a Radiohead song

deperately trying to psyop people into thinking the first half was well received during the storytime

This, but replace every > with a <

I'd move Daiya down because it just made the family look like psychos which goes nowhere.
I'd move Twins up to Good or even Excellent because it's fun watching Josuke kick some ass hand to hand.

Me when the protagonist and antagonist get to interact in a JoJolion fight instead of the protagonist just running around while Speedwagoning until they suddenly win

Beetle Wars and Vitamin C were good.
I thought Fun Fun Fun was kino the first time through but on re-read the dropped plot points and reasons why whatshisface went nuts kinda killed the vibe for me

Where's Joshu?
Where's Yasuho?

If Araki introduced a stand whose name was spelled like picrel, how would you refer to it?

Sometimes I wish Araki was more transparent about certain writing decisions he's made, especially during this part's ending. Without it, we're just left in confusion trying to decipher what happened and what his intentions were.

JoJo is really just "Fatherless Behavior: The Series", Jonathan and Jousuke are the only good JoJos because they had a strong good father figure in their life

Joseph

no father figure, grew up a punk who cheats on his wife

Jotaro

absent father, autistic, rude to women, punches his daughter

Jousuke

absent father but good relationship with grandfather. rocky but realistic character arc relationship with newly discovered father. basically turns out alright

Giorno

absent father, idealizes a gangster, flimsy unrealistic set of "smooth criminal" morals that don't hold up logically

Jolyne

absent father, goes to prison, pervert

Johnny

strongly antagonistic relationship with father, unfavored son syndrome

Gappy

Kira: absent father, but redeemed from his previous incarnation's homicidal self by strong mother figure. Josefumi: absent/unknown status father and shithead mother

Jodio

drug dealer, attempted murderer, burglar, psychopath, big bro is a tranny

Same as in real life. The stand formerly known as [Prince].

Where's Joshu?

Probably in the sewer or septic tank by now.

Where's Yasuho?

Still on hold with Josuke while Tsurugi plays with her pussy lips.

Same way Prince pronounced it: the Love Symbol.

I just want to understand why he was so obsessed with classifying characters to either "teddy bear" or "robot"

goes to prison

If you think about it, Prince basically just reinvented kanji.

fucks the biggest loser on the planet because he's hot and rich

woman moment not jotaro's fault

Where's Joshu?

How is he a loser if he's hot and rich? Those are literally the only two axes that matter and he won on both.

I honest to God think jojolion should have started with killer queen and vitamin C, damo should have been main villain, and there should have been more religious symbolism kino. also johnny should have had a much bigger role than creating some fucking scammer road. total waste

whole thing is a plot to kill Jotaro and would not have happened otherwise

anyone's fault but Jotaro

because despite being hot and rich he still lost the game

Fumbling Jolyne like that is losing big.

Araki starts listening to Fallout Boy

Jojolands introduces a stand called 「Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Stand So We Wouldn't Get Sued」

I can't remember, does HE appear tomorrow? The schizo babbler of legend? Rai

Not for another couple of days

He appears in a photo on Wednesday and in person on Thursday.

For me the strangest choice was to switch the focus of the story from the Wall Eyes to the Rokakakas by giving them essentially the same ability and then gradually making every character completely forget about the Wall Eyes and hyperfocus only on the fruits despite them having the same ability.

new readers, new jojo part is here!

okay so here's the wall eyes, a mysterious phenomenon that can apparently merge/fusion/trade people

which is why we have a merged/fused protagonist, yaaay!

anyway here are magic fruits that can do the exact same thing...

wall's eyes, what's that? Not really important, anyway about those fruits... there are rock people after them... and this doctor here is 89 years old... it's all a massive conspiracy to obtain magic merge/fusion/trading powers... no no no don't look at the spot of magic soil that also does that, we're doing fruits now, forget about those walls

Araki wtf please calm down. You SHOVED the wall eyes in the reader's face in the first pages when the story starts, you can't ARAKI FORGOT this shit, everything but not that one, who's gonna forget the first thing you see when you start reading the story, what the fuuuuck.

MILAGRO MAN KINO TOMORROW

K , b, c.

cumming inside hato's shoes

That's why I thought it was strange that Norisuke talked about the Rokakaka equivalent exchange as if he knew about it to Damo instead of the Wall Eyes.

Gay Priest can out-schizo him while casually doing his groceries and counting prime numbers.

people constantly bitching about how much JoJolion sucks

I'm liking it a lot more than I did on my first read

It's not bad at all. People make it out to be the worst manga ever.

You now remember the stand bestowing bite marks.

My cope for the walleyes being relevant is what kept me interested in the story till the end. I thought there was so way Araki could use them to defeat someone like Tooru.

lol

Where are my draw-anons I NEED a drawing of short hair Karera my dick begs for it

we had 2 of the best volumes of the story in a row. im sure blue hawaii will remind everyone that we're still reading jojolion

Never got the hate for that arc, it was pretty fun

Were there a lot of videos trying to say Tooru is a great character/villain? I wasn't keeping up.

There's way worse manga out there for sure and I'd struggle to even call it truly "bad". It's definitely Jojo at its core, but I'm not gonna pretend I don't think everything after this arc is a bit of a slog peppered with cool moments here and there.

It's another "run from the automatic Stand till you find the user" arc.

There are no bad parts but there are mediocre ones.

If you say so, Satan...

Speaking of which, it is not listed here

I've systematically enjoyed every part a lot more by reading them along a storytime with you guys. Better quality scans, people point out all the details and reference that you miss, you take more time to enjoy the art, and of course dumb memes make everything better.

Nobody with a brain takes him seriously. It's why we don't reply

what said. automatic stand fatigue will set in. Notice how the most kino fight is one where the villain is actively participating

KEKAROOOO

Breeding Karera

When Jojolion started I vaguely remember people hypothesizing that there was an invisible baby jesus christ hanging around the walls eyes and biting people to give them stand powers.

I think it's fine so far but it's full of plot inconsistencies.

aishou just handed the entire fruit tree over to the wheelchair guy who threw it on the ground

but now they keep the tree in a locked case and weigh it before and after every deal because if someone gets their hands on a branch they can grow their own

kira, josefumi, and karera posed for a photo together

but now josefumi barely even knows who karera is and kira has probably never spoken to her, only researched her past because of josefumi

yotsuyu said he killed kira and specifically emphasizes he died between rocks

but now kira was killed by damo and rocks had nothing to do with it

josefumi has the joestar birthmark

but now he doesn't, and kira is johnny's descendant but for some reason does not have the birthmark even though josuke does

That's at least 4 major-ish retcons from one volume (unless I didn't understand something about the birthmark then it's 3).

does anyone have the mamezuku pepe

classifying characters to either "teddy bear" or "robot"

I haven't checked Jojolion yet, and this post is making me think Araki stopped taking his medicine while writing it.

...

Why does Araki hate you?

Im glad I did this drawing.

I bet a bunch of people told Araki that they started having automatic stand fatigue and Araki responded "oh really then WATCH THIS, a final boss with an automatic pursuit stand, see, it IS possible to make those fights interesting!" but then everyone told him it was terrible and he ended the part early out of shame.

Haa... Haa... Haa...
Who... was that?

I had requested someone edit a picture of Yasuho to this meme, not sure if it's related but thanks whoever made this.

I have similar headcanons regarding Tooru as well.
I'd love if he did genuinely have more sympathetic traits, like if he genuinely wanted to help people despite having the embodiment of calamity always lingering behind him.
Perhaps his longing of humanity also drives him to introduce immortality to the world of medicine, perverting what it means to be human overall to bridge the gap between their species in a twisted way.
He also should have been the bling bling baby, they look very similar.

everyone keeps saying "let that sink in" but this is what happens when you let yourself in the sink

I just realized
Today was the final time we see Karera isn't it?

jobin

Holding a toy robot. Robot.

joshu

Stand based on Kamen Rider. Robot.

kira

Owned a toy of Ultraman. Robot.

josuke (and likely josefumi since kira was a robot type)

Chose the teddy bear. Teddy bear.

norisuke

Chose the teddy bear. Teddy bear.

kei

Held a teddy bear as a kid. Teddy bear.

tooru

HAS TEDDY BEARS ON HIS OUTFIT. ARAKI WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN???

This is definitely more to this.

Kira had the birthmark but it transferred to Josuke because he took his DNA I guess? Obviously still a retcon because Josefumi was originally the Joestar

Yup
After this she's only mentioned

Awful

shitty headcanons are starting to kick in

Yep, we're entering post-Vitamin C JJL.

Ok, if Kira had it then it makes a little more sense. I thought he was missing it for some reason.

never had a personal teddy bear and didn't care whenever one was given to me

did have a cool Vector Prime action figure as a kid

What does Araki say about me?

I believe they were both Joestar, they both had stands that used bubbles for crying out loud.

Depending on your self image, either Jobin or Joshu.

Speed King is a toy robot.

I hate Joshu with a passion and I have a very childish sense of humor so I guess I'm a Jobinfag now.

I traced this feeling at one point in my life....

all these stands with robot-like designs

Jojolion more like Jojobot

how is that headcanon

Good, robo-stands are objectively the best.

This implies Araki had a plan in mind.

Jojolion never gets as bad as an actual bad manga, but it definitely has some of Jojo at its worst.

Kira would have liked Jodio.

Jobin is basically a mix of Walter White and Gus

i had a little teddy bear named "teddy" but also had an ultra boy action figure and i would make them fight sometimes. i think i would give Araki another stroke

ultra boy

oops, i mean astro boy.

Would Part 4 Kira and Part 8 Kira get along? Or at least respect each other?

Teddy bear = man of the land.
Robot = man of the sea.

JoJolion is a flawed part by JoJo standards, but JoJo standards are "One of the highest rated, most culturally influential, most inventive, and most consistent manga of all time." Sometimes the restaurant overcooks your food but you're still probably eating better than the racoons digging through the trash can outside.

s*rfer detected

I honestly think most of the Stands introduced in this part fucking blow

He didn't like Ojiro

fuck, you're right...

This reminded me of when the late chapters were coming out and people started to speculate he'd had a stroke and was actually losing it. Fun times.

How do you feel about her now that she's done something?

dumb sameface who won't do anything else

I like how Ojiro is terrified of Kira here. It seems that legit each time Kira stumbled onto him he asked

Are you a man of the sea? Or a man of the land?

and during the timeskip waiting for the Rokakaka to grow he schizobabbled him into biting his fingers off.

I decided to look at overall ratings for Jojolion in comparison to the other parts.
Somehow, on average, the only parts higher than it are 4 and 7

and during the timeskip waiting for the Rokakaka to grow he schizobabbled him into biting his fingers off.

I'm of the belief that Kira just MINDBROKE the s*rftroon so hard that he ate his fingernails all by himself

Honestly that tracks with my own feelings.

How fucked would be Kira if he was in that fight against Ojiro instead of Gappy

lol

>Are you a man of the sea? Or a man of the land?

Did Araki read Moby Dick?

I thought you were bullshitting but nah its real

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE VAFAGS, PBFAGS, BTFAGS, AND SDCFAGS LOOK AWAY

Yeah no I'm sorry but Kira's arc in part 4 mogs the entirety of Jojolion.

The man of the land/sea thing is a Japanese thing that gets lost in translation without the cultural context.
Men of the land were ones who would work close to home and be home every night.
Men of the sea were usually like fishermen and sailors who'd be gone for long periods of time and only see their families every few weeks or so. This has later expanded in the modern day to also include salarymen who are gone all the time or who take long business trips.
Jojolion takes this more literally, with Kira and Josefumi having jobs that pertain to the sea and land in a literal sense.
Ojiro is a non-committal bum who doesn't work, so Kira doesn't think he's a real man at all. Him not being a man of the land or sea is also made literal by him surfing, which is done on the coast, never going too far inland or too far out to sea.

100% Araki is arrogant

somehow survives this

I think people will forget how most parts have their stumbles. Namely

PB is PB

SC's entire first stretch is extremely boring at times

GW gets extremely confused towards the end, and has some of the worst panelling

SO used to be actively mocked for many of its arcs

I think JoJolion hit people different because it was so long and because for so many people it was the first part they lived through instead of reading it finished, but I also think people will come around to it over time.

Honestly, I think an automatic stand final boss could have theoretically worked, especially a sentient one like WoU. But the fact that its power makes it impossible to do anything to it means that the final fight is nearly impossible to make interesting.

Kira's arc in part 4 mogs most of the entire fucking genre it belongs to though, let's be real.

JoJo should end with a Part 10 starring another female JoJo.
It'd be horrifying if Vitamin C's effect wore off while he was still stuck in a small pipe.

Makes me miss ACT stands

Hato's name is literally pigeon

JoJo should end with a Part 10 starring another female JoJo.

Nah
Female Main villain

Isn't it meant to be "Heart"?

It's a great fear of mine that whatever part JoJo ends at it'll be incomplete because Araki will drop dead before he stops drawing, but I respect the hell out of him for being so clearly in love with his job.

female jojo

everybody dies

universe ends

no reset

araki retires

thanks for playing

You rike?

I've never liked that MAL has manga separated by parts.

>araki retires

I don't think he's capable of that.

JoJo should end with a Part 10 starring another female JoJo

I feel like araki just prefers drawing men over women so I'm not sure we will if there's a part 10 but who knows.

Yeah, it's a shame people don't appreciate the first few side villains, but I guess it happens routinely in this series.
Just Golden Wind has a consistent group of defenders for nearly every arc

"Killer Queen, blow up the ceiling."

I don't think he'll retire but maybe instead of during another full length part do short stories. His age is definitely starting to effect his output.

Muh same face

It's a reference but the reading is different
Heart would be ハート (Haato)
Her name uses the same kanji and reading as pigeon 鳩 (Hato)

I jobbed twice to sleep and missed two storytimes now (one entirely and 2nd i barely made it to the end of volume)...i should sleep before it occurs

You missed some of the best volumes in jojolion too

muh cherrypicked close ups that also conveniently remove jaw lines and mostly share the same nose anyway

Well I did read them, it was kino seeing Josefumi and Kira arc...but sadly my brain lacked sleep and it decided to get it at that time...tomorrow i'll sleep wayy before it happens so that the alarm i have set for storytime can wake me up properly, we still have like what, 15 volumes to go?

Why do they have ratings before a manga finishes? I understand that it's so people can check if it's good before reading it. My issue though is what if the story changes in quality then the reviews before that change won't be able to reflect that.

My stand is a short range power-type and my ability is to make objects out of microorganisms in the surrounding area. Name my stand.

JoJo sameface is indeed a meme for the most part, but this image isn't the best argument. Anyone who isn't disingenuous can see that all characters have distinctive face shapes and features.

I can understand why as seasons are also split up and Jojo parts while all similar do have have enough differences in content/quality to warrant separation. It does though inflate the rating of the parts in my opinion since it's unlikely someone who doesn't like Jojo is gonna read far enough to get to later parts. So it naturally filters out people from reviewing say part 7 or 8.

Agreed. It leads to massive survivorship bias.
Jojolion starts at Volume 105. To put into perspective, Volume 105 of One Piece is when they leave Wano.
Of course someone who's been reading a manga for that long is going to rate it highly.

Bleach: TYBW is the most egregious example of this, being #1 on MAL at one point and still being #12 with a 9.0 score.

“(Down With) The Sickness”
Can construct objects out of various microorganisms both bacterial and viral. Objects naturally contain a microecosystem which can be engineered to breed certain viruses or bacteria. Objects are highly infectious when they break skin, but this can also harm the user if they aren’t careful.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say... Are you frustrated that this kira didn't get as much focus as part 4 kira? I don't think there's any expectation that new universe counterparts are expected to have the same amount of development as the original. At the end of the day the counterpart thing is just references along with sometimes playing with readers expectations by making them not act like there original or sometimes when they do.

Also Killer Queen being randomly just a sheer heart attack spammer and not using its most basic ability

Kind of. Part 8 Kira is likeable and gets very fast scene to flesh out why and what he's trying to do, but at the same time due to how the writing shapes later it kinda loses substance and the read I have on the character just becomes kind of cheap.
It's not that every counterpart should have a deep dive into what makes them different but even someone like Karera you can sort of see Yukako in her at some point. I just don't see a depth of that kind in part 8 Kira.

Hamon Beat was never the same after JJL.

Hato Higashikata futanari cock

Since this is my second read through after not touching jojolion since it ended years back. I must say I didn't enjoy what I'd the first part as much as I thought I would. The beetle fight was still good and I loved the vitamin C fight (the flashback brings a lot of emotional weight which makes it so much better) but the rest ranged from decent to boring. Tsurugi drags things down way to much for me and I'm glad Araki changed his character even if it's a bit jarring. I think I might actually like the second half better since I remember some good fights. Then again the second half is dominated by WoU so I guess I'll see.

I shall remind them.

Part 10

Araki is about to breach his late 60s. Jojolands is absolutely going to be the last part.

this was fucking brutal man watching him defend it was rough

Are we sure Haato's stand only works on her heels?

kek, this almost makes me want to watch his cope videos on jojolion ending

Diobros...
Jotarobros...

post yfw part 9 wraps none of the sbrverse lore, never brings up devil's palms or locacaca again and is just an 80 chapter vento aureo rehash

Did Damo wear a condom or rock humans and humans sexually incompatible?

That's the only thing Araki bothered to describe from it, yes.

I think the two rock human loredumps we get contradict eachother but iirc the consistent thing is that a human can impregnate a rock human female but a rock human male can't mate with a human female

More than half of his "Part 8 Araki Forgot Debunking" video is just wild headcanon or "It'll be resolved in Part 9, trust the plan".

Sorry I can't read Portuguese. Do you have a version in American?

leaves on business trips often

plays with robot action figures

my hero is a seaman alright.

The "heels" of both feet harden and stretch. If you are wearing shoes, the paper heels will stretch as well. How far will they stretch? About 4 meters.

Oh boy, that video must be both funny and sad to watch.

Why do Parts 1 through 4 need to share rehashes while 5 and presumably 6 get their own?

Let's see what we didn't get Tsurugi's change of heart maybe but I'm not exactly sure what he's referring to since sits been a while. Flashback man ofc since its been dropped and will probably be removed in the anime along with the bite marks too if I had to guess. Wall eyes I guess but I think you can infer it's origins since these scared sites happen due to saints corpses. Baby also dropped though I personally think explanation of it's purpose being showing Johnny becoming a saint. The flashforward is weird since it does sorta show what leads up but it's different though I personally think the flashforward is meant to be deceptive. Also maybe the rock human motivation but I don't remember the specifics too well so I'm not sure. The rest I think is shown or debatable

It really is limited to just shoes

Well at least if she becomes a circus performer she won't have to pay for stilts...

part 9 wraps none of the sbrverse lore, never brings up devil's palms or locacaca again

That's what sane people want, actually. Part 9 standing on its own instead of being poisoned by Part 8's mess.

Part 9 standing on its own

Rohan

Tsurugi's change of heart maybe but I'm not exactly sure what he's referring to since sits been a while.

The thing in the flashforward about how a change in the heart causes a change in the Stand.

Jojolion has peaked

We still have one more chapter of Vitamin C

Nothing wrong about it. He's a new character in this universe.

At most I expect the lava rock and Hawaii's volcanoes to have a vague connection to the Devil's Palm and Wall Eyes as a holy site.
I'm really hoping Part 9 just kind of runs on its own terms without any callbacks, though the rock-human teasing with Charmingman is really starting to freak me out.

Nothing wrong about it. He's a "new" character with the same name, design, personality, stand, and mannerisms.

I actually want Part 9 to be its own thing with minimal references to both old universe and SBRverse things. It'd be even worse if more retcons to previously established concepts showed up. But then again, ROHAN already came back and apparently he's supposed to bridge Jojolion and Jojolands so we're probably getting some lore on previous parts whether I end up liking it or not.

That's actually pretty good.

ED starts playing

YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE YOUR EYES IF TEN MILLION FIREFLIES

your reaction?

and why would it play fireflies?

Rai should have been a rigger

You WILL get your Polnareff and Bruno cameos

Rock human males and human females are sexually incompatible, but I think Damo would have worn a condom anyway for the sake of his cover.

I'd laugh, honestly.

There are too much discrepancies between rock humans and Charming Man's tribe. It just doesn't make sense, so people have to come up to with shit copes like "they're actually hybrids". You can rest assured that the answer is elsewhere.

ROHAN already came back and apparently he's supposed to bridge Jojolion and Jojolands

He's not, though. Rohan is not involved in JJL's story and Morioh isn't even mentioned in Part 9.

There is a lot of really good and bad shit in JoJolion. Your enjoyment of it comes from how much bad shit you can stomach and how much you enjoy the good shit

pretty much the entire main story ends tomorrow, and we still have 50+ chapters left

Past characters making a cameo isn't new and has been used in almost ever part. People say part 5 is pretty independent of previous parts but it had Polnareff who fills the same role as Rohan by giving the characters a macguffin. In fact I'd say Rohan plays even less of a role then Polnareff since he's only in 1. Also if any character was to do this it makes sense for rohan to have something like the lava rock since his whole thing is encountering strange things which usually aren't stands. Now it is kinda bullshit Rohan exists in this world (plus there were definitely better ways to introduce the lava rock outside Rohan wank) but Diego AU is basically Dio so it's not impossible.

2 chapters but it's basically 1*

Was the effects of GER limited to Diavalo’s soul or was Doppio dragged along too

Polnareff quite literally just shows up to die and indirectly help Diavolo to murder Narancia and Bruno ( again ).
He doesn't affect anything. It could've been Yuya there or even Hol Horse and nothing would've changed.
Rohan instead was introduced early on to be essential to Jojolands.

2040

Jojolands anime is airing

Episode 2 ends

ED starts playing

WE GOT A... NUMBER ONE VICTORY ROYALE

Doppio's soul was already gone at that point

I still can't believe how bad part 8 was. You could already see Araki losing his edge with part 6 where it was obvious he had no idea where he was going with it plot-wise. Part 7 was much better but it was obvious Araki planned most of it ahead of time. With part 8 he went back to his usual formula and the entire story fell apart halfway through. With parts 1-5 you could tell Araki was coming up with the plot on a weekly basis but he always made it work somehow. I think as mangakas get older they lose the ability to make things make sense on the fly and must plan things years ahead of time. You could easily spot it looking at Toriyama and Oda where they've lost the ability to make random shit introduced the next week consistent.
I sometimes wish accomplished mangaka would be allowed to draw the entire manta ahead of release so they could go back and redo some things like literature authors do.

Rohan will be essential to Jojolands.

This is purely speculation it's like saying koichi was introduced early on in part 5 so he'll be essentially to it. Now of course I can't disprove you but at this current moment your making unsubstantiated claim.

Doppio was already dead at that point due to being separated by Silver Chariot Requiem's soul-swap gimmick putting Doppio and Diavolo in different bodies. It is considerably weird that having two personalities counts as having two souls for the purpose of soul-targetting stand abilities but Araki gonna Araki.

Doppio died in Bruno's body long before Giorno awakened GER.

Koichi was there just to tell us Giorno is DIO's son, come on.

What can we expect in terms of referencing SBR and Jojolion lore? Turns out Johnny made a stop in Hawaii with the corpse on his way to Morioh? Turns out Jousuke either died or faced a humiliation ritual trying to get the Rokakaka somewhere else? Turns out the Rokakaka is the AU stand arrow and somehow can grant requiem?

Rohan was there to give a the lava rocks come on

Doppio died just like Narancia, he was put in Bruno's dead body so he died

discrepancies

has that stopped the madman before?

rai is a rock hermit living on the slopes growing his strawberries

attacks construction crews, entrepreneurs, or anyone attempting to disturb the land

meets with norisuke by chance who takes a liking to his appraisal skills

he helps campaign for a ski resort to be built so that the land can remain undisturbed

rai forms a life debt to norisuke for his generosity.

Doppio already passed away

I really hope Josuke shows up in part 9. It's been 3 parts since two JoJo's have interacted with each other

BOOM.
globalcomix.com/read/9eda197f-0baf-4f3c-8a69-f48056be32ec/1?utm_source=Link&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=jojolion-x-the-jojolands&utm_term=GCRID_115806

Best Araki can do is Tsurugi (still crossdressing) and his wife Yasuho (he groomed her)

WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE

Something related to Lucy/Joseph/the Speedwagon Foundation is the most plausible.

He won't show up just like how OG Josuke didn't show up in Part 5 (raughs)

new Jojo just dropped

You can't strike lightning every part.
Part 5 he was already a little shaky with how he had only programmed Bruno's grand finale and made the Diavolo fight feel like a clusterfuck instead.
Still, to his credit, the anime made it very enjoyable to watch.

Araki has gone woke...

I can see the argument that there are huge discrepancies between Rock Humans and Charmingman's tribes but it seems to pretty guaranteed to me that the final explanation down the line (if any) will be that Charmingman's tribe is like 5% Rock Human due to ancestor hybridization stuff from a while ago. I mean what's the alternative, Araki going to introduce another rock-based fantasy race that produces hybrids down the line that coincidentally look like they have rock humans in the family tree?

When does the Part 9 chapters usually drop? Will we see it here in the storytime or will we be too early

They're living on the north slope, not far from Howler.co. It could be a mutation linked to a special property of the land or some fuckery from the company.

Basically how much good taste you have and if you're over the age of 12

Don't forget the whole weird story around Diavolo's birth, or the fact that he literally physically changes. He's not just a regular split personality, he may be a literal demon infesting Doppio's body.

I mean he's supposed to represent the devil so the idea of it being a representation of doppio being possessed makes sense.

I hope it doesn't. Something I like about vento aureo is that it's kind of it's own thing and the main history isn't really (directly) connected to the rest of the parts, the real connection is the overall themes of fate and kakugo.

The latest chapter should have dropped by the time we get to Jojolands.

Chapter 25 is dropping in 5 days

JJL is dogshit. I'm hating it even more during this storytime. I still can't believe there's not a single fucking likable character in the entirety of this part

The only way we're getting a Part 10 is if Araki has already planned out what happens in it and hands it to a successor, but that's a pipe dream.

Usually on the 18th of each month. The wiki keeps a countdown for every chapter on its main page.

For being the "Devil" he becomes pretty pathetic when Bruno breaks SC Requiem

Does anyone think MMQ will die this arc?

some fuckery from the company.

I think this is most likely

The Devil is petty

all the cope responses

JJL is genuinely bad and no amount of cope will save it. It's easy for fags who are reading it all at once to say "oh this is okay actually" (it's not), but having to wait months in between for this shit was actual pain.

He was pathetic well before that.

Havent you read Paradise Lost and Dante’s Inferno? The Devil is pretty pathetic

B-BRUNO PLS I KNOW I KILLED YOUR COMRADES AND ALL BUT PLEASE JUST LET ME HAVE THE ARROW

KWAFB.

I love how the epitaph face is just freaking out

When I first read VA, I thought King Crimson itself was taking over Doppio.

I miss my little chumimigga

Name 2 examples

Unlikely. It's too soon.

Reminder that the macguffin Jojolion's shit story is built around is a magic fruit. Magic. Fruit. And is it magic because of

Jesus?

Ancient superbeings?

alien viruses?

Nah, New Guinea just has weird magic fruit. For some reason.

magic fruit

Something something Adam and Eve.

rigger competitors tried to overtake Howler's ancestors' business

ancestor had them killed

they broke down into rocks

what the fuck?

dump them in the water

they dissolve in the water

have a special reservoir for dead rigger storage

Charmingman's tribe drinks the water

they acquire rigger properties

Who cares? Jesus is magic because he's >le jesus. That's not a reason. Stand arrows are magic because they're made from meteorites. That's not a reason. Spin is magic because golden ratio schizobabble. That's not a reason.

For me, it's Act 2.

I don't mind. "Doesn't count" is just retarded to say.

And they're named kaka, kek

Jesus is magic because he's >le jesus. That's not a reason. Stand arrows are magic because they're made from meteorites. That's not a reason.

Those are most definitely reasons.

To this day, I still think about that Johnny breakdown scene where he says "I'm still at negative!"

Well stands are a manifestation of the soul and Diavolo is the one who keeps that, so it's not really a wrong interpretation. Especially with how KC so perfectly aligns with his obsessions and philosophy.

No it's not. Being from a random space rock is no different than being from a random island. And Jesus is just some random guy.

Imagine if Jojolion had ONE scene that was that good.

His whole character is about going to ridiculous lengths to hide his identity because he's scared of being overthrown. That's pretty pathetic for someone of his strength. Also using doppio like how he does is also pathetic imo.

What are the discrepencies and would they be any worse than the part 8 retcons?

These reasons are sufficient. You will never find a prime cause because you'll just be caught up in infinite regress. There is an arbitrary cut-off point where people consider an explanation sufficient even if it doesn't go all the way down.
This really tripped up philosophers in the past and forced them to drop the justified true belief definition of truth in favour of more robust definitions like Quine's web of beliefs.

30 billion

infinite symbol

Because of the frog phone?

Even if it had such a scene, it would still be ruined by the outcome of the part.

gets to live 10 years of happiness

dies

gets to be with Gyro in heaven

He got a good end in a roundabout way

Who cares?

I care.

Stand arrows are magic because they're made from meteorites.

And I wanted to know what extraterrestrial life is out there that would lead to stands.

Spin is magic because golden ratio schizobabble.

That one is clearly explained and shit so I don't care.

Actually, end of series Goku has better feats than anything in OT and NT and outerversal level reality warping thanks to Arale scaling so if we're looking at this objectively, Goku would be stronger.
You can argue that Jesus only scales to Super Perfect Cell because when the Bible was written, it was believed that solar system is the entirety of the universe. The creation myth would only scale to solar system level via author's intent.

God, I miss Johnny

You know, as someone called Giorno... he's actually quite bright!

I like to think the alien dude from Part 4 is both an alien and a stand user.

No using a kid to get close to people/spy because he's to pussy to do it himself because muh identity (just wear a mask dumb fuck). You can call it smart and it probably, but I still think it makes him a bitch especially compared to most of the other main villains in Jojo.

I like that aspect about him. It fits in his "only the results matter" philosophy.
Other villains in Jojo are ruthless, but there's limits to what they're willing to do, if only for the sake of their pride.
But for Diavolo, he's fucked anyway, so he might as well try. It's not like he'll be any more dead after debasing himself in front of his enemy, right?

I still dont get how Damo found them

The premise of what you're saying is correct but the conclusion is wrong. You've decided on an arbitrary cutoff for when something is okay vs. where it makes no sense.

it's made from rock

No that's not a reason!

it's made from rock but space

I accept it.

Rock but space is identical to rock, there's no reason to think some special bacteria lives in space that cannot be found anywhere else and requires no further explanation. But your brain thinks of it as something alien for some reason and simply accepts it. That's the same leap of faith you're being asked to take with the fruit. "Oh it's a fruit from this weird island of cannibals or whatever." Especially for boomers who have been reading JoJo for 40 years this is more than enough. Before globalism tons of places used to be considered "mystical" and simply explaining your magic as "It's from <far off land>!" has historically always been good enough. That's literally how Hamon is explained too. What is this secret breathing technique? Oh it's from Tibet! That's good enough. So is being from New Guinea.

You've made the same mistake. You can accept that "Well it's extraterrestrial life so I don't have to explain shit!" But this is no different than saying "Well it's some weird organic matter from New Guinea". There's 0 reason to think magic lifeforms exist in space but your brain accepts it simply because it's sufficiently foreign. Where you draw the line of sufficiently foreign is arbitrary.

There's rock humans and rock animals, so I don't think a rock plant is out of the question.
They're like an entire separate tree of life.

Rock humans grow up in beehives, don't form families, lack empathy and can't cohabit with humans (supposedly). Charming's Man tribe are basically normal people, except they have rough skin and a longer life expectancy.

He just checked every sick person in all of Japan of course.

damo's investigation found kira's sick mother

the police couldn't find a single living relative of kira

Nobody's falling for this

someone reported the YABBA DABBA doo Yasuho

I will now double down on Yasuho being cucked now that I know it pisses someone off

There's 0 reason to think magic lifeforms exist in space

The meteors have a virus that attacks all lifeforms and part 4 literally teases a suggestion that magic aliens exist.
I want my lore and I want my explanations.

I think that can be easily explained by the parasite that gives Yasuho dandrufff later even if the tribe themselves aren't Rock Humans.

The lore is the fruit came from New Guinea. There's a chapter about it being discovered and then the information being lost after WW2. That's more explanation than the virus ever got.

Morioh police moment

They made a lot of assumptions and got lucky. They assumed the the thief was from Moriah and still is in morioh along with believing they are trying to help someone ill. Moriah has a population of 47,228 so not too high and the hospital population can't be that large either. They also did it over 4 months so plenty of time to narrow things down. Also aisho maybe recalled who he saw the day the weight decreased though probably unlikely since it was 6 months. It's definitely possible especially if they hospital population is low.

Johnny and Jonathan would be best headless buddies.

You don't realize how contrived this is.

Once again, imagine the threesome.

Yeah, I don't. There's rock animals literally everywhere and a secluded tribe could easily have a unique tradition based around one.

your conclusion is wrong

doesn't say why

JFC.

You are unsatisfied with the explanation because the cut-off is earlier that you personally prefer. It's exactly what I said. I'm not defending Araki's explanation, I'm pointing out that your criteria are entirely subjective. An objective assessment would be whether the explanation fits thematically, is ad hoc or is consistent with the preestablished rules.

it would've been cool to learn about stand virus aliens

Is just your personal preference and wishful thinking. You're angry that Araki used a concept of pseudo panspermia which is an actual scientific concept corroborated by evidence. Is a reference to real life phenomena not good enough for you? Do you really need Stand Aliens like it's some story for children?

Based based based.

soon

More like nobody is lying to themselves enough to defend this shit

There's also the chance that Araki just retcons rock humans again. He did it twice in the part they were introduced

I don't think any of the sbrverse parts are suppose to link up a lot because we don't have Dio-like character for everything to be associated with.

Other way. Josuke has Kira's birthmark on the shoulder, was found wearing the clothes he died in. Basically the exchange did a Face/Off planting half of Josefumi's youthful face onto Kira's, and half of Kira's old face on Josefumi.
Why it stripped Josefumi, who knows.

magic powers come from breathing funny

"what"

Vampires are made with ancient civilization super technology

"huh?"

Stands come from alien virus riding on meteors

"sorry what"

Stands come from the corpse of Jesus fucking Chris

everyone start sweating

these fruits are magic because they are!

Done. No more drama. Araki is done trying and there's no way to please deep lore fags.

I said why you utter retard. Your premise is that you cannot find a prime cause because it's just an infinite regression of "Well okay what caused that?" That's exactly what you're doing for this fruit.

here is a magic fruit

okay what caused that

it was found in new guinea and the information was lost until riggers found it, blah, blah, blah

okay what caused that

How do you not see you're causing the exact "infinite regress" you're objecting to? You need every single thing spelled out for you like a child? Is this clear enough yet?

you're angry that [...]

I don't know who you think I am. My post was employing the Socratic method to illustrate why the explanation is sufficient, not to condemn the explanation as insufficient. The purpose of bringing up stand arrows is to illustrate that it's simply a question of where you personally draw the line to prevent "infinite regress", and to help lead you to realize that the fruit has been explained to the same level as the virus. Please learn to argue.

KOCCI WO MIRO

blows you up from the inside

What's Holly's stand?

This illustrates how much information-gathering stands like Moody Blues/Underworld/Paisley Park are ridiculously busted in term of utility. Don't have one in your criminal organization? Enjoy checking out 150 000 people to find the dude you want.

It'll be revealed in due time.
*raughs*

anything other than crazy train for at least one batch

Boggles the mind how dirty Araki did Aphex Twin...
Represented by two goobers with shitty stands.

Buddy Holly.

This is gross as fuck. I hate the idea of microscopic little things in the body. The movie Innerspace scared the shit out of me as a kid.

Better skip Urban Guerilla then

This is my first time in a Jojo thread. Why is it of significantly higher quality than other Shonen threads (I know Part 8 is actually a seinen, but I’m still counting it)?

Today is an off-day
It's usually much worse

Zoomers dont like Jojo, therefore were free of them

Stop with the false posting

Because we're actually reading it so we actually have stuff to discuss instead of increasingly relying on inventing schizophrenic memes and shitposts for thread activity (it still happens)
Also it was a really good volume so the shitposting is minimal, it's worse than this if it isn't

main bad guy is close to defeat

most mysteries (josuke identity, magic fruit, rock people ) has been resolve

15 volumes left

what the fuck is even left to do

The storytime breathed life into into it and there's actual depth to discuss.
Thread quality is based on volume quality.

"Josuke"...

This isn't Yoshikage Kira. This is Jotaro Kujo but with Killer Queen.

>main bad guy

youtube.com/watch?v=Zrr9JNfkLhU&ab_channel=Danglto

Stopped at part seven. Should I try and read part 8? I wanted to wait until it was done

part 5 had the worst threads

Say it aint so...

Well, yeah. He's the firstborn son of Holly Joestar and went on a mission to save his mom.

I was told Araki hated Jotaro though…

This is a story about breaking a curse

Fuck...
But being serious, part 5 was an exception besides SCR and Sleeping Slaves because people are hung up on King Crimson specifically. Threads were great before the donuts began.

somehow, Yasuho's FIRST rapist returned...

You could have been reading it with us anon

jerk off to karera and skip part 8, you are better that way

Joshu...

This. Diavolo prioritized taking down Abbacchio first for a reason.

Get fruit for Tsurugi and Holy, confront Jobin for working with riggers, telling Josefumi's cunt mother what happened to her son etc..

threesome

Karera? Only watched.

rape your nearest woman and skip part 8, you are better off that way

I was told Araki hated the Jojo he made THE Jojo, featured in four parts, and still draws plenty of

Wait Josefumi is taller than Kira? Or is that the artist choosing to draw him taller?

How about read it with us! It will be fun and new friends are always welcome :)

I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be around the same height.

I genuinely don't understand why someone would think that. Is it because of the jobbing in SO?

Jotaro?
the face of the franchice

He's one of his favorite characters actually.

Before the thread dies, watch this
youtu.be/g7TcFvORooU?si=_EXZvheK7BHf_EV_

There’s still Mitsuba Stand left

Wow... Jojolion really does suck, just an empty shell of Jojo references.

Another pup mindbroken by GODshu, the future head of the Higashikata's.

they both had stands that used bubbles for crying out loud.

I always found it weird how Kira or Josefumi never brought that up.

So what im getting is i should, jerkoff, rape, and then read with everyone in that order.

I wish Karera return because it doesn’t feel right to see her not jumping in to fight with Josuke, she is super loyal (to half of him)

When you're on the same wavelength, some things don't need to be brought up.

What the fuck was his stand again?
did it change when he became gappy?

she is super loyal

she

I can't believe Jojo could actually make me tear up, but man that page with Holy having a moment of lucidity in her dementia is sad as fuck. Hits just as hard on a re-read.

True.
I still like Josuke better though.

While Josefumi Kujo was in control of Soft & Wet, its ability of plunder was described as "absorption". As a Stand user, Josefumi was experienced enough to utilize his ability with extreme levels of precision. For example, Josefumi was able to use Soft & Wet precisely enough to seamlessly graft a loose branch onto a different plant, something which he and Yoshikage Kira attempted to use for the cultivation of Locacaca. Josefumi was also shown using his soap bubbles to remove excess amounts of black pepper from his bowl of ramen.

Josefumi's bubbles were featureless and released almost no force when they popped. Curiously enough, although Josuke himself was ultimately created due to the equivalent exchange of the Wall Eyes, Soft & Wet gained its star marking and slight explosive power while Josefumi was still alive and in control of it, right after his healing exchange with Kira through the unripe New Locacaca.

actually they never really met eachother

Araki...

I don't think it was mentioned before this arc, but it doesn't seem to have changed. Kira was supposed to have explosive bubbles but retconned into Sheer Heart Attacks. Josefumi always had basically identical bubbles to Josuke, he used it to steal the pepper from his ramen for example.

Araki...

Josefumi's bubbles were featureless and released almost no force when they popped.

Kira was supposed to have explosive bubbles but retconned into Sheer Heart Attacks

retconned

Huh? Anon, we see the explosive bubbles in the same volume he uses Sheer Heart Attack(s).

Contrary to what people said, S&W 0 seems a lot more powerful/versatile than S&W, like it put Aishou into an effective coma somehow.

The bubbles aren't releasing any force here, they're being used to pull the branch back and when they pop it snaps back and hits him.

Let me get it straight

It's jojo, it isn't straight

I guess but before he literally had the same small bubble as Josuke. That's just an inflated tire, could have a Sheer Heart Attack inside!

that's... even more stupid what the hell, are riggers made of rock or butter lmao

all tearworthy Jojo moments

Iggy

Shigechi

Okuyasu fakeout

MiH

public apology

Holly

Kir8

but what abo-

all moments

Aishou into an effective coma

It just blocked his peripheral vision. Not feeling the weight shift when Josefumi cut the branches was retarded but he wasn't made braindead.

public apology

I don't remember what this is.

I'VE COME TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT

JOHNNY THE JOCKEY IS A BITCH ASS MOTHERFUCKER

Josuke is, according to my assessment, Josefumi’s soul inhabiting Kira’s body with some of his personality.
Source?
1. Soft & Wet was Josefumi’s stand and Stands represent a user’s soul or spirit.
2. Josuke looks more like Kira but has more of Josefumi’s mannerisms beneath the surface (loyalty and dedication to people close to him, epic CQC skills, dedication to Holly, a seething hatred of Damo and his coworkers).
3. The parts that crumbled during the Exchange were Killer Queen (Kira’s Soul) and Josefumi’s Body. We can assume those were the “price” that was paid for the exchange.

It just blocked his peripheral vision.

I'm gonna need some proofs bud, and not some jojowiki headcanon.

mindbreaks Araki and turns him into a slop machine

KWAB, the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake WON

loyalty and dedication to people close to him

dedication to Holly

seething hatred of Damo

Kira has all these things. He sacrificed himself to save Josefumi and made sure to blow Damo up even if it meant blowing himself up.

A funny thoughts just occur in my head, I wanted to see all female character in JJL beating Damo up, not because they are strong or anything, but because we have way more female characters in JJL

Nigga where's the headcanon in the bubbles being right besides his eye. That's the whole reason they did the entire eye drop scalping to begin with.

There's a lot of them but they mostly have non-combat/puzzle/utility/automatic stands except for the one girl that wrecked Damo up of course.

Kira wasn’t nearly as emotional about it as Josuke is

i want to see all women in jjl raped by moi

Why did Kojima started talking as if he was a SBR character

I know but we have a LOT of women in JJL, which is why I wanted them to like, gather together just to actually see how many there are

Walking Heart is totally an asspull, but most people either give it a pass or don't realize it because of the good in the arc.

link to thread?

no SSSHIIIZAAAA

no kakyoin

Still goes to the theater wearing a mask.

The dump?

Iggy and Avdol could probably get melted and still beat Damo and Jotaro would shatter him with the water pressure of a liquefied Star Platinum, but could Joseph do anything?
How would other parts’ teams fair against such a powerful stand?

Kir8 is also a man of the sea like Jotaro.

It depends on if being melted by Vitamin C just completely negates your stand powers or only physical ones.

Duwang gang gets fucked until Jotaro can use time stop to get closer

Bruno gang could take out Damo due to two members with stands that can attack long range, purple haze could put some distance between them and Damo, and Trish might be able to reverse the softness

Prison gang have a good chance through Joylene turning herself into string to get around and FF being able to shoot Damo

Broke back mountain gets fucked until spin can reverse the the softening

Jodio Jang could beat it if Novermber Rain can push the hands back and Do the hustle can reshape their bodies back to normal

That's my take

I accept your concession.

Star Platinum is so fucking busted, Star Finger and him inhaling Justice is quite literally Spin-tier bullshit

Giorno Farmsworths turning the entire house into a creature so Vitamin C loses its power.

It's hamon-tier. Zoom finger and breathing techniques.

If I was Kojimbo I'd try to minimise my odds of being recognised in public too.

Masks in public were a thing in Japan long before Covid.

Thread quality is based on volume quality.

Inversely proportional.

what the fuck is even left to do

They still have to brea~~~k a cu~~~rse.

Turning print covered bricks into giant attack amoebas that he can’t melt any further would be kinda cool actually

Rape

Anyone got that Morioh history X edit?
