JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 8 Volume 16 Storytime Continued

Last thread:

mamezuku is one of the only asian characters araki actually draws to look asian lol

"Josuke"...

Josuke...

"Jousuke"...

Remember

Mamezu-kurai

Mermaid's Cry

youtu.be/DuFW9v8Wv5Y

KEKAROO

I FUCKING HATE Rai

I like him

Johsuke...

Man, you can really feel the artstyle going down the shitter

It slowly started at the twins

fucking lawnmower man god of the internet ass stand

People who say "Paisley Park can do that???" will not be prepared for what Soft and Wet can actually do later on

Okay but what the fuck is that on his hat? It looks like grapes

This guy has spent the last 15 or so pages just vagueposting and dodging questions.

Peas
Didn't you see his shirt

TL note: "mame" means beans and his clothes and hat are covered in beans

How would we tell the reader that this is a person who know a lot about fruits and plants?

Araki traced that.

It's how you know he's a fruit appraiser.

Oda traced that.

This erasure ability isn't even close to Paisley Park's original ability, that being a navigator/finding things. I can't think of a way to justify it.

That nigga wearin' beans

This nigga covered in beans

Someone should make a list of what Paisley Park can and can't do.

If you watched this one hour and a half long video essay you would know that Paisley Park's powerset is perfectly consistent, btw.

Also influencing people to do things.

He who findeth information can also taketh information away.

Oh no here it come, the new major force of Jojolion, even more bullshit than Paisley Park

can do

Anything Yasuho needs it to do

can't do

Be a punchghost
Also checked

what the fuck is happening is there another earthquake

They really should not be surprised about this, Josuke literally saw a tree having Stand in Shakedown Street, walking tree is totally normal

caution trees

So her proper stand ability is information manipulation or something?

BLUE HAWAII HAS NO WEAKNESS

Paisley Park CAN:

communicate via GPS

remotely access your phone in case of emergency

plant a subliminal suggestion in Josuke's mind to call Yasuho from miles away

ignore physical barriers

hack CCTV systems

conjure/teleport physical objects if you click the prompt

display her actions inside the doorspace on cell phone

hack into police databases

track a phone's GPS even without a phone

erase recordings from phones

Please... just do something... don't spend 50 minutes and 3 chapters just narrating what's going on.......

This is reaching Whitesnake levels of mental gymnastics.

So, when does it get fun?

next volume

Soon™

We already had fun fun fun

Ever since part 5, Araki comes up with Stands that just have a bunch of combos... White Snake could surprisingly do a lot in part 6 too, and Wheather Report too...

And even those things got as far back as part 2, Ripple coulddo a lot of things there.

How the fuck would Rai know about the Rokakaka branch, let alone know it well enough to tell it apart just by looking? I thought it was supposed to be a secret? Is he a rock human?

If you think last fight was shit oh boy!

She can't escape a toilet.

Norisuke probably gave him the QRD since he told him to help Josuke

he can tell a grafted branch apart from a regular one, he doesn't need to know what the fruit tree looks like

The way araki writes powers allows for a lot of creativity and freedom but also constant asspulls. Double edged sword

Paisley Park is more bullshit than Whitesnake. She may even be more bullshit than GE, at least Giorno would half-ass justifications, Yasuho just looks directly into the camera and says "It can do other things, why shouldn't it?"

Rai should have been a rock human

First Things First

First Things First

First Things First

First Things First

He's going to do this the entire part, isn't he?

It doesn't help sometimes he writers a power to be one way but then changes his mind. Back in part 3, we had that moment where Joseph tried to jump on the car when he was in Enya's village, only for it to turn out he was jumping on a fence. That implied Enya had illusion powers, or at least something that screws your vision, but nothing comes from that.

It'll take your word for it, I only jumped on this thread, but only read Jojolion's first chapters.

Also in this part you have Daiya's leg being a bloody mess with exposed bone. And Kei saying Kira has explosive bubbles but in Vitamin C he just spams Sheer Heart Attacks (either outside or inside of something).

This guy have displayed zero knowledge of plants and fruits, but we know for sure he know a lot about baking and cooking

There are people who willingly suffered through this monthly

He was able to identify the branch by a series of photos.

oh yeah this is when araki tries reintroducing spin

When we get back to Higashikata estate

Surely this won't take long right?

His stand is wayy cooler than Stone Free

Snoop Dogg probably feel like Rai unravelling himself whenever he hit the joint

mr. bean has stone free

au jolyne has d4c

An enemy is following us

I have knowledge of the Rokakaka branch, which is why an enemy is following us

We have to do something about the enemy following us

There's a new Rokakaka branch, the enemy is following us because I have knowledge of it

We should do something about the enemy following us

He's doing so because I'm collaborating with you about new Rokakaka branch which I have knowledge of

We should get into a safe spot to avoid the enemy following us

He's following us because you leaked knowledge of me, who knows about the new Rokakaka branch

Let's move away from the enemy following us into a safe spot

First things first, we should have a plan to avoid the enemy following us so we can do something about the rokakaka branch

I know about the branch so that's why the ene-

Huh, this whole chapter was just endless repetition so far.

Imagine how good Jojolion would be if it's just Yasuho and Josuke being stupid

He can only say this once.

no art of shota jobin fucking his mother

This whole chapter has been repeating? Endlessly?

Expecting good porn from JoJo

there is for tsurugi :>

An endless repetition? This whole chapter?

anyway here's 50 pages of a cooking manga

The chapter has been Repeating. Endlessly.

Disregading the location, Rai is literally living like a millionaire, he

Rent the ropeway

Have a villa

Own a whole orchard

They also do business on HIS land

Have a vinyl collection

Epic bathroom, fully electric with bidet

T-that can't be true . . .! It may be 'repeating' but it can't be 'endless'! It has to 'end' . . . right?

This whole "chapter" has been going through 『ENDLESS REPITION』

reminder that araki has plotted out the final arc at this point because the hairclip chapter is soon so you should be interpreting everything as foreshadowing

so that's why the ene-

Here, try some of my famous cooking!

Glad you enjoyed it, anyway, the enemy is following us.

I DIDNT SIGN IN FOR A BIOLOGY/CHEMISTRY LESSON
MY BRAIN HURTS

Yeah, he sure did.

words words words words words words words words

this monologue is basically explaining the motivation for future villains and themes of the story

DURRRR BORING

in a week y'all will be saying "wtf is even going on what do the villains want" because you're not paying attention

I think there's a better way of doing it than a 7 page exposition dump

bad guys want to make money by monopolising fruit that revives you

this was all established ages ago

Rai is the worst character in the entire Jojo series

It's a boring and shitty motivation.

this monolgue is explaining shit we already know

DURRRR BORING

Yes.

I talk for myself but all my shitpost for this ch is satire and I like this schizobabble

it's not just making money it is a RACE WAR MAMEZUKU IS EXPLAINING A RACE WAR

So, what I get from this, is DOCTOR BAD right? Maybe if they are American doctor

It's literally money and oligarchy.

SBR: President BAD

Jojolion: Doctors BAD

Hmmmmmmm what did Araki mean by this?

in a week y'all will be saying "wtf is even going on what do the villains want"

Araki will do it first.

Rai is the moment where schizobabble goes to far

kek

This shit sucks. Where's Joshu?

Rai is right, the Je- I mean Rock Human doctors in the Medical Industrial Complex don't care about us

oy vey, stop the anti-mineralism

it's over

D-DBAnon?

You guys insulted Jojolion so much the storytime has ended.

This storytime really opened my eyes at all the glaring issues of Jojolion

Jousuke won't job to a tree, right?

I relaly like how non-humanoid rock human Stands look, now this one is straight up just molecules
You can tell these are not Stands belong to a human

Oh I forgot how bad the clarity of this arc is in black & white especially later lmao

SPOILER ALERT

This shit is so boring I unpaused my Anon Babble porn

Jousuke dies of AIDS?

Part 8 is a lot worse than I remember
At least reading it monthly there was cope and hope that it would all amount to something but upon reread it’s just a bunch of fucking nonesense honestly and every character is just quirky for the sake of it. I enjoy part 8 aesthetically and that’s about it. Draw anon is the best thing to come out of jojolion

All of this repetitive dialogue, this stand attack…it’s like a hurricane in my head. Like some kind of…Brain Storm

do we have to wait for tomorrow to see IT coming out of the ground

here it comes

that's a very beautiful draw, very gay but cute.
you are right, if wasn't for the storytime with everyone here i would have drop it time ago, i guess sharing the disappointment makes it easier to read

To be continued! See you tomorrow!

…Is Rai jealous Josuke is paying more attention to Yasuho?

Entertaining schizoarc. Way better than Dolomiti.

awww man I wanted to see you know who

are you guys ready for tomorrow?

Volume notes:

I've always been fascinated by treehouses, the kind that an American kid would build as a hiding place in a big yard to play poker and stuff. I was so jealous... But what I long for now is to live on top of a lift in the mountains, in a "lifthouse." It'd be all-electric and super high-tech. You could move through the air with the cables and have everything you need. Mamezuku has it made! It's great to be able to harvest crops and cook them right above the fields! Mamezuku, please read this at home.

Chapter notes:

63: I still have the CRT television set I bought back in 1989. It worked fine for such a long time, but now it's finally stopped working.

64: I'm in the market for a new smartphone. None of them seem to be impressing me with how advanced they are, though...

65: I'm addicted to From the North Land, even though it's such an old drama. Masterpieces transcend time.

66: When I went to buy an electric lamp, I was told that the lamp's service life ends when the LED inside dies out.

Thanks DB Anon. This whole volumes was an even bigger disappointment than the last. It's all downhill from here right?

Ok, ending was funny

Thanks OP

It only got good once the fight started.

next rock humans are doctors

DOUBLE BINGO

It got good when he stopped the chairlift.

The babbling was obnoxious but the fight has a much better setup. Thanks for the dump.

Why does Araki want to live in such an inconvenient way?

Mamezuku, please read this at home

He is losing it. He talks with his fictional characters now

wrong it's a full volume of Urban Guerilla

VOLUME 17 CHAPTERS

67. The Plant Appraiser - Rai Mamezuku (31), Part 3
68. Urban Guerrilla and Doremifasolati Do, Part 1
69. Urban Guerrilla and Doremifasolati Do, Part 2
70. Urban Guerrilla and Doremifasolati Do, Part 3

Please enjoy my random cooking and agriculture history schizobabble.

No.

he doesn't want a cool fort built on a random existing structure

No Faustian spirit.

litter.catbox.moe/s5qrtn.png

Thanks OP.

People thought Rohan was Araki's self-insert but it's Rai

: I'm in the market for a new smartphone. None of them seem to be impressing me with how advanced they are, though...
Oh you had no idea how worse these would get...

nooo i need muh heckin pokemon battles

This is an 18+ website.

That's the funny reason, the actual reason is this is the mandatory "test your relationship" arc in any manga. Like for example in SBR it was Sugar Mountain and Eleven Man forcing Johnny to make a logical choice, or Gyro
Now here we have Rai forcing Josuke to make the "logical" choice, or choose Yasuho

I’d rather live on a giant houseboat and wander from port to port

>nooo i need muh heckin pokemon battles

absolute retard

next volume is one of my favorites negl hope it's appreciated more

we're on jojo 8th part now

what do you mean i have to read text???

I'm gonna assume that image is a self-admonishment. Nobody could be THIS stupid.

Drawanon never disappoints.

hope it's appreciated more

In these threads? Anon I...

How come the Johnny and Josefumi/Kira flashbacks have been the best chapters?

Cute Daiya

Based man of the sea.

You don't like GODraki's horrible schizobabble? What a readlet.

Mystery part

Story is at its best when things get actual answers

One of the 7 great mysteries of these threads

New readers
Your thoughts NOW

These chapters are about when I dropped it when it was current. It feels nice to read jojo again.

based asshole schizo misogynist

All of this reminded me of the western writer Bendis... Only he's somehow more boring. Imagine this chapter but without the cooking autism.

Bendis? The western writer? He repeats?

The Rokakaka Branch? An enemy is following us? 89 years old?

KWAB

ZZzzz..

snorefest except jobin&kaato part
