Jojo afterparty

This was also the time where Araki took a lot of breaks...

Jobin? Have never done anything, the only thing he can do is dialing up the nearest rock human and ask them to do it for him

Yeah, same here. The whole "we gotta get the fruit for Holly" feels like Araki is just stalling and the Rock Humans are pretty boring antagonists

If the SBR finale got 2 threads, I doubt WoU will be any better.

Two volumes of this btw

So we can all agree JoJo peaked with DIU (1000 posts) and SO (5 threads).

I'm feeling rock human fatigue. I'm tired of them

The rock doctors > Damo's gang
I personally prefer that their motivation (supoosedly) wasn't money, they actually want to achieve something great with the Rokakaka

JoJolion gets worse after Vitamin C!!!

Milagro Man was kino

JoJolion gets worse after Milagro Man

Blue Hawaii is kino

JoJolion gets worse after Blue Hawaii

Urban Guerilla is kino

JoJolion gets worse afte-

Every time

To be fair, SBR had a low-energy finale. Valentine vs Johnny is were most of the threads happened.

2025 morioh

all the new movies and video games coming out have forced rock human protagonists

not even good-looking ones like yotsuyu, but always the ugliest rigger imaginable

I'm not going to reply to you

Its not the slow pacing of the fights but people's indifferance that kills the discussion

Their motivation is to get money so Rock Humans can control regular humans somehow.

76

Pesci...

The final volume was short and the main battle was love train which got multiple threads.

Yup, yup.

Just a reminder we technically haven't finished introducing ALL Higashikata yet

Ya think UG considered Jobin to be one of the good ones?
Jousuke's plot armor is unbreakable and he can do whatever he wants without taking long term damage

jobin forcing his wife to wear the same kind of underwear as his mom

Hot

Rock Human Lives Matter, you chud!

*raughs*

A man can only love a woman who is like his mother btw.

Jojo fanarts make the Higashikata look like the nicest family ever

If we're going off post counts, then SBR's intro mogged by a mile.

>Urban Guerilla is kino

Nah that ending was dogshit. What the fuck do you mean Jousuke tanked an explosion while getting ran over while suffering from rock ebola?

Part 7 and 8 were never going to get the same thread fiesta Part 6's finale had because we have to deal with epilogue chapters.

reposting without crediting the source

Die.

If it wasn't for Josuke randomly using the First Bomb again Utban Guerilla would be totally forgettable as a fight.

These volumes just keep getting worse and worse. No fucking wonder I dropped this shit back then.

Yuuuup

rentry.co/jojolionplotpoints
Edit code: arakiforgot

It was pretty good besides that, creative tactics and no one gets hit with the stupid beam out of nowhere.

all the 'JJL drops off immediately after Vitaman C' fags were right

I'll be damned.

Jojo has sunken to levels below Naruto.

Oh God, at this rate the finale is going to kill Jojo threads again.

I'll be honest, I haven't read anything past Milagro Man because I'm not really interested. That said, I will try to catch up later tonight or tomorrow for the sake of archiving the emojis.

only one thread

I couldn't find anything to shitpost about. I failed you anons...

I know how this shit ends. Should I skip to Jojolands? I never read it.

i think everyone might fizzle out during WoU. At least Ozone Baby will be good.
Do you think the part 9 dump will be able to overtake volume 19?

No one cares about the emoji anymore, Araki's use of them has dropped massively.

>Blue Hawaii is kino

True except this

epilogue

Part 2 tanked that.

Might be more fun to wait for the story time to catch up. Also there's a trap in it so you might dump it on the spot

Afterparty already

God damnit it's not even noon and I am still behind 2.25 volumes. Btw whoever told me I wouldn't like the volume after Milagro Man was wrong. I fucking love zombies.

At least Ozone Baby will be good

I won't fall for it again

Based emojiSOLDIER

Araki's use of them has dropped massively.

Makes my job easier kek

Last chance for me to say that Tooru should've been Yasuho's dad, along with still being her boyfriend. Really good way to explain why they have the same type of Stand. Also adds a parallel between Yasuho and her mother.

I'm pretty sure Jousuke is the worst fighter out of all the Jojos.

Its a much better paced arc when you read it at your own pace imho
Also its fun to get a minor villain with his own philosphy seperate from the main villain group too

fetish shit

Yeah, I imagine 100 pages of Josuke running around like a retard and forgetting to use his stand abilities is easier to speedread on your own.

I have the opposite fetish. My posts about Jobin fucking his mother are genuine horniness. I don't delude myself into believing Daiya is ACTUALLY Jobin's daughter (who has the rock disease btw). I think Tooru being Yasuho's dad would actually make sense and add to the story. Tooru fucking sucks as he is.

Spin can give bubble qualities to little "cords"

If he remembered Soft & Wet's plunder ability, he'd at least do okay. Physically speaking, he's alright with his hand to hand combat. Worse than the first three JoJos and maybe even Jolyne, but I could see him potentially beating Giorno since the latter is pretty slim.

I think we have officially entered the true slog zone

I knew it was over when almost an hour went by an the thread barely hit 200 posts.

Josuke should physically be anywhere from 19 to 29 going off Kira and Josefumi, he should be able to beat the shit out of a 15 year old twink with no effort.

Last two volumes?

"[X] should have happened instead"

it's dumb contrived shit, actually worse than what we got

Every time. You're no authors.

Accurate description of JoJolion

I just love the "fight" and the gore. Jousuke doming some middle aged lady through a trash lid and having his stand hit her with a shovel is so much fun. And this moment is great.
The two points of contention I read were "just steal their eyesight" even though their movement is linear to Josuke by ability so their eyesight wouldn't matter (probably) and "make the floor slippery" which would just lead to the scene where he doesn't know where or who will come after him sooner. It's a nitpick IMO and I'm fine with Jousuke running away from zombies cause that's fun for me.

The finale arc is going to be a fucking chore, doesn’t help that the entirety of WoU is confined inside a single hallway to a room. No other finale have such small scale

Why are you guys acting like the site dying had no effect on the threads? I am pretty sure part 7 would have gotten as much or more replies as part 6 otherwise. Hell the site is still pretty slow compared to before
t.a part 6 fag

another bingo

Bingobros I don't like this anymore

that mediocre reaction to Poor Tom

Everyone dropped this storytime, huh

Ozone Baby was the only arc I forgot, and I fucking remember WoU
It exist only to give Jobin something to do, and he couldn’t even do it

A lot of apparent SBRfags were very vocal about High Voltage being bad/unnecessary/nostalgiawank. I think that really impacted the activity more than the Anon Babble shutdown.

How tf did you connect these 2 thing together?

everyone is hyped for MIH

MIH gets many posts

many people anti-hyped for HV

HV gets less posts

Not rocket science.

First enemy rock animal

I remember how each of the rock Doctor Stand are actually related to their profession. It was a neat detail by Araki

I think High Voltage by itself is a good fight, but man, is it unnecessary.

You even remember Doctor Wu?

New JoJoLands chappy tomorrow at least

What is the original timeline reference

I remember it because I like Mitsuba’s Stand and her fight, and Doctor Wu himself was like, the only rock human who act the way they supposed to be

Superfly I am guessing

You kidding? Everyone was hyped as hell during High Voltage.

Please spoiler....

I didn't say the site shutdown wasn't the reason (I didn't provide any reason whatsoever). I just said that if a beloved part finale like SBR's only got 2 threads, then a finale like Jojolion's is unlikely to be more lively than that. But I always could be wrong.

NTA but there was also anons saying he should have put the fly in a bubble. But I think the bubble would just pop in that case. In every instance I remember him putting things in his bubble, they were not moving (yotsuyu as a rock, Haato when she standed still, ,inanimate objects etc).

just steal their eyesight

That wouldn't work btw considering how the fly was still coming after him after getting bug sprayed.
There were things he could have done for sure but I find it ok that he mostly ran away in the heat of the things/ when he didn't wanted to hurt civilians if possible.

Diego's ENTER was hype and the fight was good, but at the end of the day it's still keys jangling nostalgiawank which could have been cut and not affect the story in any way.

I fuck heavy with Jojolion, the themes are strong even if the story gets a little messy

Fair desu

rock humans look like humans

rock animals look like whatever the fuck this is

That's not even a reference, is he stupid or something

I think we can move the original timeline referance to the free space and find something else. There is always something that could be interpreted as a referance.

Doctor Wu was funny.

Yeah, I understand. But I still love it because of the hype, Diego had the best ENTER of all Jojo storyime threads.

Please, someone link today's storytime, I'm still stuck in the second part of Blue Hawaii (the first part legit made me fall asleep) but I have time to reach the storytime...

anon...

I can’t be the only one feeling like Araki was going for some sort of “Strong mother/woman” theming in Jojolion
Higashikata women was inspired by Johnny to die for their child, Holly was a woman who save people no matter what. Contrast with Yasuho’s deadbeat mother

I pity all first time readers. Jojolion is much less insufferable to read on your own pace.

I remember when these arcs were coming out. All the theorizing and arguing, alongside the breaks. It's admittedly a tad nostalgic reading them again.

Yeah, not saying these volumes are amazing but it was much faster when I bingeread on my own. Waiting for a dump makes the chapter feel slower than it actually is

Is there any explanation why Barbara does not have stand?
Or why did she have a child way too late compare to Holy?
Or why did she not helping Holy?

I don't like remembering how insane the threads were during WoU

IESLB

Jojolion...

Diego was good for hype, but from a storytelling standpoint? It failed miserably. The arc was Araki calling back to Johnny and Diego rivalry, and how Johnny never beat Diego
Now that Johnny father was here to watch him and support him, he survived the journey, learn and grow as a person, it was only logical that he finally beat the person he couldn’t beat before. But nooooooo he still lost to Diego, what the fuck was the point?

It comes out in 2 days.
Also spoiler that shit, for fuck's sake. Same for you

It's definitely key jangling, but I kinda like Stephen and Lucy getting to save Johnny after he saved them from Valentine. I wonder if Johnny ever made up with George after the race or if they stayed estranged.

You needed a Diabolus Ex Machina to cuck Johnny out of winning everything so he only has "the most important thing" left.

You motherfuckers...

He could trap them in a bubble at any time.

I hate how Araki never elaborate on the whole “Legend of Johnny Joestar the guardian deity of Morioh” shit

If I had to guess, it's because Pocoloco's Stand more or less was guaranteed to help him win the race. Johnny didn't really care about winning the SBR by that point, if I recall correctly, because he had already regained the ability to walk. So in the end, Diego wins, dies, and is forgotten about just so the character who is a lazy fuck can take the grand prize and come away as the same lazy bastard that he was when he entered. Meanwhile, Johnny loses, but ends up having a more enriching experience.

the other riders were so slow that johnny had time to fight valentine and still would've won if not for diego

Tragic.

I loved it but there was persistent negativity leading up to it.

I'm still stuck in the second part of Blue Hawaii

Horrifying

How many much of Josuke is Joestar at this point? Like 1/4?

I kinda liked the Urban Guerilla fight, the main 3 used their stands in somewhat creative ways. Though I’m feeling the lack of Punch Ghost as a nice fight finisher

Grim...

Thanks

Be Jobin

Pushed around by bullies as a kid

Grow up

Is now being pushed around by fucking rock human

”Don’t tell my dad btw”

is jojolands better than jojolion so far?

Johnny doesn’t give a shit about the race or his rivalry at that point. All he cares about is finding Gyro’s body and making sure the corpse doesn’t get in anyone else’s hands. Diego was basically Valentine’s last fuck you to Johnny

JJL vol 7- 2 threads, 573+615 posts

Interesting this one was lower than the others until Volume 13

The “antagonist” have not impressed me

Jobin is such a nothing character.

It'd be better without Dragona, because all of the conversation that stirs up with that character is tiresome. But otherwise, yeah.

I did not like it myself, but it was cool to see a lot of anons end up enjoying it.

1 drop rule
as long as the star is there he is full Joestar

First Blue Hawaii thread had more posts than the entirety of today's volume.

Damn.

Superfly had 1 thred, 629 replies btw

What even is Jobin aiming for. We got into this whole Rakakaka and Rock Human nonsense because it seemed like Jobin was dealing with Aisho to get the fruit to cure Tsurugi, now somehow Jobin's actually the one money laundering for the organization (why? Why wouldn't a rock human be doing this, how did Jobin even get involved with the rock humans?) and there's no indication he's doing anything about Tsurugi's curse, including trying to get a fruit for it. Then he happily stood aside when Damo went in to kill his family. What even is he aiming for?

Little challenge for all the Jojosapiens interested.
Write (or describe) an interesting fight against an automatic long range stand.
Just for fun.

And for an extended comparison, the last 5 volumes of SBR before the shutdown:

Done.

FUCK JOSUKE SAVED MY FAMILY!

Is this the Morioh 'curse'?

Volume 20 and 21 had a bigger dip in numbers compared to the threads before and after

Wonder why that is. Was 21 after the hack? I don't think 20 was.

Jobin and Joshu are pretty much the same person.

20 was the last before the hack, 21 was the first after the restore

in both Morioh parts the story progression grinds to a halt at a certain point

I just remembered I had this image saved. Good times.

OH NO NO NO JOBINBROS

Poor Tom, Doctor Wu and Tooru are the ONLY enemy stand users left to fight. This part is almost over!

Huh...
so Doctor Wu is the Vanilla Ice of this part, I never thought about it.
Kinda lame

JoJo fights sentient long range stand like 3 times throughout the part, like a rival battle
the stand's ability is to force its opponent to stay within a given area, beyond that its just really good at CQC
it helps out against the main antagonist
the user is never seen
stand name: Live and Let Die

the user is never seen

Honestly kino. But I think most Jojobabies can't handle this.

just make it ant as stand user
like some kind of

he always there, but you did not see it

**but can Vanilla Ice go inside your urethra?**

**

Is there a single rock woman in Jojolion? It seems like every other rock human man has a relationship with a human woman, but no rock women in sight.
What happened to them? Is the rock human sympathizer Jobin being reverse raped by a rock woman off-screen?

I don't get this Oberon reference.

Yes, but she was unnamed fodder

They'll be added in the anime adaptation as background character like the female piller man in the Part 2 anime.

Wasn't there one in that one flashback where the dude was cucked?

there's already background rock women in chapter 99 pleb

He was cucked because that was a normal human.

Tomorrow.

No I mean, there was a woman who talked to him after the girl sold the house. I'm pretty sure that was a Rock Human.

there was a woman who talked to him after the girl sold the house

We'll start covering that next volume, it's pretty Jobin-centric.

To be fair, a lot of penultimate fights aren't as climatic as Vanilla Ice, with Cheap Trick being the biggest offender.

The main overarching villain still hasn’t been introduced. It took over 70 chapters for Kira to appear but that was weekly

im down for rock human media but only if they are fuckable twinks

Jobin has been here for a few volumes.

No that'd be Ojiro.

Since we are at a slow thread I am writing my some of the problems I had with the vitamin C arc I talked about two days ago.
My main problem is how little the role higashikata's plays as a family in this arc. We spent a good amount of time setting up everyone's stand abilities and then in the one part of the story where they get attacked when they are togather, they just job one by one while none of them gets to use their powers. Also for how much of a threat Damo was he did literally zero damage to the family. I thought Kei and Joshu were staright up dead after the fight in my first read. Lastly as much as I like the Kira and josefumi flashbacks I think it would have been better to save some of them for later instead shooting all its load here.
I think these could be fixed if

The arc moved to a later time in the part so someone dying wouldn't be a waste while upping the stakes

or

Add another stand attack so everyone in the family gets to do something instead of jobbing unceremoniously.

I think the second would be better. Make it that Damo incapacitates Kei and attacks Joskue and Haato like in the finale of the actual fight, wihle someone else deals with Norisuke, Daiya and Joshu.

two days

We don't even have a hint as to who it could be.

a-anon...

Hahahaha kinda funny we are just getting into the fight where they are all incapacitated en masse again.

This Rock Doctor (?????) Conspiracy is complete nonsense even by Araki standards
The fuck are they going to do, sell fucking rokakaka toothpaste

T-Twelve minutes of Jolyne?

this will prove useful

Do you know how much FUCKING money people will pay for Rokakaka toothpaste? Yes they will pay for our Rokakaka toothpaste, selling out INSTANTLY for prices beyond your imagination and we will RISE. RISE higher than you stupid fucking humans.
THE
EARTH
IS
OURS

lmao

So basically, Jousuke is supposed to be fighting against capitalism?

Yotsuyu is a rock woman, she's the "Cool type" of girl that mostly hangs out with guys and thinks she's not attractive because she has small tits.
Secretly she was planning on pegging Daisho and warping him around her finger

YOU UTTER FOOLS!
ROCK HUMAN MEDICINE IS THE BEST IN HE WORLD!

Biggest cope since the anon calling Narancia a "she"

Kei should have died in this arc. It would have been a further reason for Josuke to save Holly, and a proper way for Araki to write her out of the story, because that is obviously what he wanted to do.

carboncucks can't even fathom the sheer ingenuity of the mall plan

You can only pity them at this point.

BLUE HAWAII HAS NO WEAKNESS

Capitalism and supremacists

pre-vitamin C and milagro man i would get out of bed and wake myself up before 9 every day in anticipation, now i wake up at 8:55 and just roll over and go back to sleep. this stretch is so boring i hardly bother. the only cool thing was Rai making his whole arm in to a fork crossbow

High Voltage is literally hype moments and aura: the fight.

Only Jobin can save these threads.

readers are losing interest in SNORE ball run

activate the GODdust CHADsaders reference

Canon.

it literally happens in two locations simultaneously

I don't think I can do the "camouflaging into nature" thing for the remaining rock humans.

Jobinsisters . . .

It is what it is drawfrien...

If I get inspired I might write up some autistic OC fight but for the sake of not shitting the thread with it I'll just describe it for now

Main Jojo has the power to run really fast towards the things she likes (amongst other things *raughs*)

Companion is a Standless military guy from France

They are in Budapest looking for a cult leader that has a stand, it's pretty snowy

Enemy stand user ENTERs but our guys don't realize it because they are stupid, allowing him to activate his stand 「The Ink Spots」

The stand is inside the eyes of it's user, when someone looks at him in the eye from a close distance it locks in waiting to be activated

The enemy returns to his base and activates his stand

When activated the stand turns into a huge flat disk that hovers above the target, because it is so Large the stand creates an artificial eclipse making it look like the enemy can turn off the sun

When activated Ink Spots will automatically focus all the heat from the sun into its target

Several pages of our Jobro jobbing to the ever Increasing heat

Mandatory Eye gore

Jojo tries to throw the guy into the snow but the snow melts, and then the water evaporates burning Jobro even more

Things spiral out of control and Jobro ends up being dragged away in a river of boiling water

Jojo locks in and starts running

Her stand has the perk of being extremely loud when activated so enemy realizes her presence from kilometers away

Enemy stand can shoot heat rays independently from it's main attack to it's target and shoots against Jojo

High speed sequence of Jojo dodging lasers while running from one place to the other

Remember DIO? He was so cool, a perfect villain. How did Araki go from that to riggers?

Highlight is Jojo dodging a Lazer that bounced off from a bunch of broken mirrors flying around

Eventually Jojo figures how to beat enemy stand

She makes her own stand grab her and SPIN around, fast enough to almost burn her skin

She throws herself at super speed against the stand

Her stand 「The Champions」allows her to Accelerate to impossible speeds but also protects her from the negative effects of those magnitudes of movement by bending the laws of physics

Because of that whenever she crashes against something in super speed the object she collides with is subjected to infinite pressure and heat, immediately turning into a drop like shape that has a indestructible face and a extremely fragile tail that upon contact causes the object to immediately explode

Oh and by the way, she can also accelerate other objects towards the things she desires *raughs*

From up there she spots the enemy stand user

Kicks herself with her stand towards him, accelerating herself and the compressed chunk of the enemy stand towards the enemy user

His base fucking explodes and he ends up Dolomite'd from the impact and the damage on his own stand

Jojo is all Waku Waku with the sun's light reaching the city again framing her as /ourheroine/

Dio?

If it's fun to read why cut it out?

I think Wu is the only one left that could fit that.
Also, could you draw a Rokakaka Tree? I think those would look cool in your style

that standless fuck is not TANKING the currents of a boiling river

Compared to the Higashikata family curse, the Joestar curse of fighting DIO doesn't seem that bad.

Why does Jobin want Jousuke dead again?

His dad prefers Josuke

Black Sabbath, Sheer Heart Attack and Notorious BIG already exist.

J*suke's a freeloader.

Killed his best buddy Damo.

Throwing a guy into snow just for the snow to melt and burn him even more is something Araki would 100% write.
Now that I think about it that's something he would make Yasuho endure just for the fun of it

readers losing interest in Part 4

Ok, let's have Jotaro be the one who beats up Kira in the final battle

readers losing interest in Part 5

Ok, let's bring back Polnareff

readers losing interest in Part 6

Ok, let's bring back Jotaro again to save Jolyne

readers losing interest in Part 8

Ok, let's do a saving Holly plot and abandon it at the end

And also, let's bring back Hermit Purple

Jobin doesn't want to share with a freeloader.

Don't forget Kakyoin's cousin

reminder josuke has no employable skills

doesn't go to school

doesn't have a job

REEEs against gainfully employed riggers

NEETsuke.

It’s not even a joke, SDC is the most popular JoJo part in Japan. They’re obsessed with part 3 and Jotaro. He was the reason araki had plenty of "filler" fights because readers wanted more Jotaro. JoJo has been quietly losing readers since part 3.

josuke is facing off against WoU

johnny appears behind him and whispers words of encouragement

he turns around scared and feels his birthmark releasing a bubble

there is golden spin energy on it

the calamities target the bubble instead of josuke, since it technically isnt his attack

there is a tiny horse inside the bubble feeding it the infinite rotation

all calamites sent toward the bubble disintegrate, it hits WoU and he begins infinitely spinning

joshu beats Tooru's head in with a rock and kills him, hits a super cool pose with yasuho

is the ending saved?

tiny horse

Hamon Beat............

Did they even tell Jobin about Damo coming to their house to kill him? You'd think he'd be more suspicious of rock humans from now on

Just sold ALL of my Jobincoin

Absolutely. Bravo anon

I can't imagine being a late 20s, 30 something year old man who still cries like a bitch about "spoilers".
I stopped caring about that before I left grade school and on occasion I'll look up major plot spoilers of things I haven't seen right before watching them.
Get a grip, dweebs.

WoU is real fucking long tho
Even if every volume gets only one thread it's still gonna be 5 threads

sees the storytime thread now that i have time

it was done in a singular thread

holy fuck i knew that jojolion autoattack stands were boring and such but CHRIST, this is just sad to see, i think it's the first time i ever seen a volume finish in a singular thread...was there a time in storytime threads where we got a singular thread volume dump? i've only been here for 3 months

If this is the pacing of jojolion, then i don't have a good feeling about next 5 volumes...

We all agree that part 8 is by far the worst part right?

There wasn't even any automatic stand this time. I blame the loss of hype on doctorfaggotry.

Part 8 is my least favorite part BUT
Josuk8 is my favorite protagonist
I love Yasuho
I wish the Higashikata family was real and would adopt me
Vitamin C is mega kino and Damo is one of the best antagonists in Jojo

tiny horse

Battla-san....

Always thought this fight was quite unmemorable so I was surprised in earlier threads people saying it was good. I think ozone baby was quite good so I believe things will go back to previous posts numbers. WoU will probably have relatively high post count since its infamous and there's definitely enough bizarre moment to keep people buzzing. Might stall until it hits the climax since it does drag a lil bit due to how long it is.

I miss Lucy.

Josuk8 is my favorite protagonist

How? he loses all personality after 3 volumes

I love Yasuho

She allright i guess, not the worst jobro but far from the best

I wish the Higashikata family was real and would adopt me

They are all horrible Except Norisuke

I looked at the remaining volume covers and got a panic attack.

unironically yes and this is like a minor tweak

This is Mamezuku's fault btw WORST fucking Jojo character ever

kaato should have been a rock woman, would give an explanation as to why the higashikatas are stand users, would also explain why Jobin is on the Rokakaka trade and why Riggers work with him, the only problem would be the rock disease although im sure Araki would be able to schizobabble his way into justifying it

A busy friday night for euroanons methinks.
Also

i think it's the first time i ever seen a volume finish in a singular thread...was there a time in storytime threads where we got a singular thread volume dump?

Storytime had single threads until the part 2 finale and then Part 4 had a single thread in Superfly (coincidentally another arc where a guy lives in a pole) too. For statistics try

When's Norisuke getting his next humiliation ritual?

I also never cared for him even though I think most people like him since he has schizo babbles and the 89 meme. Though I do think his background is interesting in how it relates to WoU

In execution. I genuinely think it has some of the best ideas that mostly gets wasted sadly.

give an explanation as to why the higashikatas are stand users,

This is answered though

No one…

This post has a 70% chance of being written by rock hands

Todays volume was also like 30 pages shorter

are the rock humans supposed to be a pillar man callback?

barely but yes
I believe this is directly acknowledged in chapter 99 (?)

It is but it didn't have to be this way... There's some good like the Vitamin C fight, the Kira/Josefumi flashbacks, and some of the most fun character interactions but man...

It's kinda a shit fight imo and when looking at the thread a lot of the pages didn't get many replies as previous threads. Probably would have gotten 2 threads with 30 more pages but still would've been pretty weak.

Pillar Men or Rock Humans?

Kaato being a Rock human would bring more questions than answers
But it would justify her looking like this in her 50s

coughing baby or hydrogen bomb

I think it's a good fight there's not much to discuss. (except Urban Guerilla's monologue which everyone just skipped over) wish we got more Doremifasolati Do memes though

Pillar men for Fightfag reasons
Rock humans for Storytelling reasons

pillar men would be better if vampires/hamon continued after P2

Where do I read new chapters now that every manga site is on its way to getting nuked?

This is where remembering the name of the translation group comes in handy

Theres like 100 sites out there

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extra-ordinary
E is even more than any one that you adore

Go to the scanslators' sites

Yasuho to Joshu

Urban Guerilla's monologue

Lame and it's why I don't care for part 8 villains the motivation isn't interesting to me. We rock people are superior and you humans will tear each other apart while we get rich using rokakaka! It's just some anticapitalist messaging and I never really cared since it just doesn't feel very threatening. Rock humans just don't feel like a threat but a annoying pest that thinks they are are bigger then they are.

The real question is why Damo thought JOBshou and J. OBex Twins were a good addition to the crew

People have been hiding or avoiding spoilers since the beginning of the storytime. It's about respecting new readers, your own case doesn't matter.

J. OBex Twins

They looked cool while jobbing desu. Also

Damo is the CEO of SNK

CLAIM YOUR MALEWIFE

I had a shower thought/realization about Higashikata family
So we all know they're named after cards, we got:
Kaato = Cards
Haato = Heart
Daiya = Diamond
Tsurugi = Spades
And I will assume here that Mitsuba is related to Clubs (we still haven't seen her)
So what about Jobin and Joshu?
Well for Joshu I have an answer now but it might also tie to Jobin
standard deck of cards contains 54 cards, which is 13x4 of each symbol, but what about the last two cards?
the last ones are Jokers, and every Joker is black and red in that stack...or it can be that Joshu is a Joker (because he got the stand last out of all family members plus people mock him a lot) and Jobin is the Ace of cards. I know there's also a Jack card but it doesn't seem to suit Joshu or Jobin and i'm not enough of a card nerd to know the real power of it. Maybe I mixed it all up wrongly?
I now realised Norisuke could be Joker since it can outplay Kings in the card deck (and his stands kind of resembles a clown) but first idea seemed more appealing

I might be pulling this out of my ass since it just hit me while bathing at 11am or maybe this mystery was solved years ago. Funny realisation nontheless

Rai should be a playable character in a game.

Roll

Yotsuyu . . .

Jobex twins were strong in theory, especially the one with a bioweapon. It's just that Josefumi was a complete and utter beast and then Josuke inherited part of that.

A Dragona is fine too . . .

every manga site is on its way to getting nuked

didn't hear nothing about nuking all manga sites outside mangadex...

ROLLING

NOT TSURUGI

Both of them job to someone with a knife

Fucking KEK

I shall roll

is bottom middle the main villain

Yesssss, he should've been the main character of Jojolion btw

pretty sure it's only the girls

Please Kira

the Kira/Josefumi flashbacks

which is a giant retcon

Off by 1

Fauk

tsurugi pls

who the fuck is that on 2?

No need to claim, I have already fucked Dragona
My number will represent the bro who is going to DP her with me

GOOOO JOHNNY GO, GO

I just want a friend... So please give me someone who's a good friend.

For me it's blue-haired Yasuho

No and it boggles me that dumbasses don't know how to spoil images

(You) farmer at it again

Aisho the rigger with Doobie Wah

NTA but here, because of you :)

PICK OUT YOUR STAND BOYS, WHAT'D YOU GET?

Nyoho!

Did I STUTTERING FAG

I enjoyed them for what they were but yeah it's Jojolion...

why did araki lowkey give tsurugi budding breasts here

For me to suckle on

Actually pretty good stand, team based so i just need to find anyone and boost them up

that limit

literal heart attack so i'm probably fine with this ability

Yep, thread's over.

the post numbers are going down with each storytime release

3rips of 3ruth

I kinda like the maroon color for his outfit more then the dark blue.

I WON! THAT'S IT FOR JOJOLION VOLUME 17 AFTERRAPE!

Not true it seems to fluctuate quite a bit based off the content of the volumes and possibly the day it comes out on.

I think the volume would have been a lot better if the rock caterpillar tried to rape Yasuho.

ROLL THE DICE
(FOR YOUR LIFE)

For those who watched Dragon Ball Super, is Hit's ability the same as King Crimson but without Epitaph? It's described as "time skip".

damn... rucky

FUCK

Oh fuck almost missed it. YOTSUYU PLEAS

Dubs of truth for the rigger femboy

I will kill myself

Cuck rigger instead lol

Not really since it doesn't skip anyone else's movements to leave them bewildered. It's like glorified super speed (but not timestop either).

When I binged it, part 1 was definitely worse. This time around, I'm not so sure. The boredom and plot holes are one thing, but now characters are acting retarded to allow for more tension and that's unforgivable.

Dont care, looks female enough

I thought they were confused about what happened at first. They deal with super speed all the time.

I thought he stopped time for 1/8 of a second?

Araki-sama...

He's got a pocket dimension. That's the beginning and end of the similarities.
The Red Ruler literally erases a snippet of time and gets to edit the outcome in the process. Hit just stops time, ducks in his pocket dimension, and attacks the opponent a bunch until time continues. His ability can also be broken by power levels because it's DBS.

Whichever one I roll gets to marry Yasuho.

Lol

Goku counters it at first by just predicting where Hit would attack from and punch there, which would be useless if it were real timestop.

To this day people will unironically tell you that this wasn't a scrapped time travel plot line

What is wrong with Jojotards

2016 ahh bait

What are you talking about, that's exactly how Polnareff nearly beats Diavolo

At least Araki himself confirmed it wasn't. Now imagine he confirmed anything regarding Jojolion.

"Frashuback man? Oh, I changed my mind" [raughs]

so how did the bubble have two halves if it was a cord the whole time?

None of that crap was kino no matter how many times you repost this

You don't need to stutter to be wrong. Check this out. Abraham Lincoln was the first president of the USA.

jobinkeks...

Jousuke is Fugo.

Does anyone have that one edit of Damo where he dosen't have his glasses, mustache, or goatee?

Jojolion has as much of a mother theme as SBR has a father theme.
Johnny was estranged by his father. Gyro left his father over a moral disagreement. Valentine was inspired by his father (and the moment he died was the moment right after he lied while swearing on his father's handkerchief).
Gappy's motivation is to save Holly, who's both his actual mother and surrogate mother. Jobin is largely trying to follow in the footsteps of his mother. The lack of any love Tooru received from his mother was explicitly noted.

You are a fag.
Oh hey wow! You're right!

There's a billion sites zoomie, mangadex was just one of them

Some anons had it right, not really an after party more like an after funeral

SBR is about Fatherhood

JJL is about Motherhood

Jojolands is about Siblinghood

GODraki...

Thank you anon. Have a nice day

How many times has his own eyes been fucked up?

the most prominent discussion in this entire thread is which BOY in jojo you faggots want to marry

Blue Hawaii was not kino
You’re not even using that word correctly

Mother and father issues are too common in fiction to call it a theme. Phantom Blood has Jonathan's dad, Dio's dad, and Will's dad all motivating their sons in different ways but I wouldn't say fatherhood is a theme of the part. It's just that parents naturally influence how their children grow up. Same with SBR.

replying to bait

JJL unironically becomes pure kino after today

Ozone Baby is good
Doctor Wu is good
Wonder of U is shitposting kino
Radio Ga Ga is goodish

But muh Blue Hawaii

Oh WOOOOOOW, ONE meh arc huh? You sure got me VAfags....OOPS, sorry not supposed to say that part out loud :)

BASED

JJL unironically becomes pure kino after today

You forgot Trout Mask Replica.

Why do you think Norisuke made such a big deal out of finding Yotsuyu's penis, but he and Josuke never did?
There was no penis, anon.

Don’t worry Yasuho cuckposting is going to save us

JJL unironically becomes pure kino after today

Lol.
Lmao.
Lmfao.

They never found it because currents carried it to Hawaii. Yotsuyu rock penis will appear in part 9 trust the plan.

Was Yotsuyu an outlier or are all rock woman members of the itty bitty titty committee? No wonder rock men prefer human women

I STRONGLY disagree with this take. We never see Johnny's mom, Gyro's and Valentine's moms are basically cameos, and only Diego's mom is prominent.
Meanwhile in JJL, Kira's, Josefumi's, and Yasuho's fathers don't even get cameos, and the contrasts between Norisuke and Kaato are a big theme. Don't forget too that Rina's first reaction when she's cured is to ask Johnny about their son.

Poor Tom also can mange his work life better.

I think at this point, you MIGHT be able to guess that he's one of the rock doctors. But right now we don't know how many rock doctors are, who their leader is, or anything. Reading it monthly, it didn't feel like the villain could be anyone we haven't seen yet.

Tfw Josefumi and Kira got found out because there can only be one Rokakaka branch at a time

Their Rokakaka branch successfully bear fruits mean Damo’s tree died

best WoU mini-arc? for me it's

Ojiro Returns>Holly chapter>Mitsuba>Toru/Yasuho Romance chapters>Go Beyond>TG University>Filler where they're just dicking around in the Lambroghini>Do Do Do, De Da Da Da>>>>>>Kei Nijimura Returns>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Kaato returns

Radio Ga Ga is goodish

Remember when Jesus Corpse and the pine tree was supposed to be important?

i'm getting tired of the dropped plot point circlejerking can we just accept that YES jojolion is incoherent

TSMT!

why was it so long....

Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan >>>> Jojolion

TMNT!

what is spoiler image

Because as we can see on the map since chapter one, TG University Hospital is a big place

Johnny would absolutely job to rock human

This is

No. There will always be some retarded shitposter who tries to go all in arguing "ackshully Jojolion makes perfect sense and is a true masterpiece," and I want a thorough wall of text to instantly shut that down.
It's also interesting in itself judging Araki's writing quality.

I thought they took the corpse back to America?

why you being a dick?

y'all niggas were saying "we nearly done" bitch the final arc gon take A WHOLE WEEK OF STORYTIMES!!!

It's alright they don't know what that is

What do you think happened when Kaato put the kid corpse into where Johnny hide Jesus? Yeah Love Train happened
Jobin was blessed by Jesus

Ngl but I am surprised there are people actually buying into the “Johnny became a saint” theories I came up with

absolutely not, it's so fucking dumb
EVERY single TSKR chapter is just

Rohan "This is a story of something that MIGHT have happened, I dunno if you'll believe me or not..."

rumor/legend/myth of weird thing, Rohan goes to investigate

weird thing happens

Rohan "Is this a stand!? HEAVEN'S DOOR!"

Rohan "W-What the...it's NOT a stand!? T-The rumor/legends/myth were TRUE!"

Rohan does something unexpected to win

Rohan "And that....is the tale of what happened."

30 fucking years of that shit and you fuckers eat it up

We already finished part 4 months ago, retard.

today i will remind them

girls

Tsurugi

I mean...not wrong but not right either?

Johnny is, by definition, a saint.
Shakedown Road and the beach baby are both attributed to him after his death.

Can you fix Jojolion in the anime by simply including Toru earlier? Like in the Born this Way arc when Yasuho is in hospital?

Tsurugi's name means sword instead of spade.
Which foreshadows the fact that he's not actually a girl.
He was introduced alongside Daiya, Hato, and Mitsuba, keep in mind.

Hey, how come Tsurugi has to Dress up as a semon demon but Jobin didn't when he was a little kid?

No, introducing Toru earlier doesn't change his impact as a villain or make him any better.

It wouldn't fix everything, but it would fix a lot.
Also, maybe have Tooru be the one telling Josuke that they can't keep treating Holly instead of a rando doctor.

Johnny SAVED Jobin

Johnny PROTECTED Higashikata household with the Wall Eye

Johnny CREATED a miracle that is Josuke to combat the curse of Higashikata

Absolute LEGEND (of Johnny Joestar)

Rohan in part 9? Seriously Araki?

Do you think JoJolion would've been better off if Araki didn't bother with the mystery angle?

Showing Holly's brain holes specifically in TG University THAT early debunks any notion that Jobin was planned as the main villain at any point during publication. Araki planned it from the start.

Dude we are literally reading the part where there are alt version of every single part 4 characters, why WOULDN’T there be AU Rohan?

Is a dress really all it takes for you?

Do you think JoJolion would be better if Araki dropped dead before writing chapter 1

I was shitposting because that one guy keeps losing his shit over the most inane "spoilers" that feature within the first fucking chapters of part 9 and shitposts incomprehensible to a first time reader like the guardrail.

Do you think JoJolion would be better if Magenta Magenta won and it follows his desendant instead of Johnny's?

The anime could do wonders just by adding some foreshadowing and removing all of the bullshit Araki never followed up on like Flashback Man. But there's still problems like most of the cast amounting to nothing other than showing off their stands and Tsurugi being massively unlikable. Too bad DP doesn't have the balls to remove characters like Daiya, Karera and Kei entirely or rewrite Tsurugi into a sympathetic character.

Do you think?

It's fucked how Johnny just loses to Diego in the end. Johnny never beats Diego. The World is proven to be the strongest stand ability.

No.

Yeah.

As it should be.

w-w-wemove m-m-muh meido?!

Tsurugi Higashikata... what a hot piece of ass

It's funnier to me how Valentine literally told Diego everything about Johnny's ability and he still almost jobbed at the end. Without info, Diego would have lost HARD.

Tsurugi hoping on my cock and using Paper Moon King to make everyone think I'm just holding a box full of random stuff when we're really fucking in every place imaginable

I don’t think this story needed to continue after Damo. This is like, what if in Part 4 they killed Kira right after RHCP and then spent the latter half of the part hunting for a way to cure the Nijimura’s dad. This feels incoherent. Aimless. Plodding.

We gotta get through the whole series, anon. Thems the rules.

How to fix Jojolion:

keep antagonistic Norisuke angle and connection to they mystery of Josuke, fill his retconned supportive role in with Haato who becomes an MVP

make Tsurugi likable instead of a crossdressing rapegoblin

remove Johnny/Jesus from the equation entirely and have a good explanation for the Wall Eyes and its stand bestowing bite marks as a Devil's Palm

remove all automatic stand fights

make Karera a key figure in Josuke's present as someone who had a close relationship (can just be friends) with Josefumi

rewrite the flashback to be entirely consistent even if not much else is changed

don't immediately abandon Urban Guerilla's schizobabble speech with Tom, Wu, and Tooru

save Holly

either Joubin or Kaato doesn't die

make WoU into an actual fight

No one would be alright with Tsurugi and Holly being left hanging like that

WoU is literally hype moments and aura, but the hype is abysmal and the aura dissipates little by little

One thing about the JJL anime is that they'll definitely make that ugly creature, Tsurugi much prettier and that'll almost make it all worth it.

I don't recognize this stand...

have a good explanation for the Wall Eyes

Now that the special rakaakaka is responsible for Josuke, the Wall Eyes actually, literally don't matter at all.

STOP SPOILLIINGGG i want the newfags to form their own opinions and see the hype moments and aura TwT

that's just a pic of me (very handsome I know)

the Tsurugi x Yasuho Anon Babble smut that'll flood the internet when the JJL anime drops

Things are looking up, lads.

Then have Damo escape, regroup, and organize his remaining allies to seize the new Roakaka. Maybe he eats one of the two that have grown later on and has a stand evolution. Maybe his allies are rock human clients in the medical field to provide the Holly connection. Araki had a compelling line of conflict with the Roakaka Smugglers. It connected to Josuke’s past and motivations.

The Wall Eyes are responsible for the New Rokakaka.

No, grafting the branch is what's responsible.

straight shota is weaksauce

Fucking spoil your shit my God it's not difficult

Foreshadowing is a literary tool.

Who's the Angelo of JJL?

Jobin's bully.

kyo

Hamon Beat...

Any other essay videos of JoJolion? I got a few on my watchlater that i plan on reading after the storytime

Did you miss the part where Joubin moved his disease over to the bully through the Wall Eyes?

why? do you not like how I look?

It will be 5 threads of pure rage

Standbros...

Kek I forgot about that boiling water bullshit. Pucci and Whitesnake were a whole different level of nonsense.

still haunting that were going to have 1 entire week of WoU. God only knows what was going through arakis mind while he was writing this arc for 3 years

ehehhhhhh they mostly all suck because they're either shilling for Araki way too hard or seething. I like watching videos or listening to stuff from while JoJolion was still going, although I like this channel a lot if you really want to go nuts with part 8 background noise
youtube.com/watch?v=bjj870VGxVA

finally caught up to Jojolands

the gangs first real thread was an automatic stand

I almost had an aneurysm.

imagine your soul being boiling water, britbong tealover ahh stand

AUTOMATIC STANDS............ LE BAD!

Sad, I'm liking this volume/arc more than the last 2

They're boring and the fights are almost always dogshit, sadly.

i miss steel ball run bros.

Name 5 good auto stand fights besides Highway Star.

N'doul

mediocre, don't bother with that either.

It's absolutely astonishing, the drop in quality between SBR and Jojolion. The cast, the fights, the story, the PACING, god the pacing it doesn't even make sense that Araki suddenly became so terribly at monthly pacing when SBR was fine.
Geb isn't an automatic stand.

Yes. Any problem?

I always go back and read Scary Monsters when I want a good laugh. Johnny's easily one of the funniest characters in the series to me.

I still maintained that Rai would've been more liked if he was introduced earlier, but he was wasted.

Don't worry brother that's not part 9, that's a random irrelevant Rohan one-shot manga araki created, you didn't get spoilered :)

geologist, you say? that's no ordinary terrorist

dino...sore?

God, he was so stupid. I miss him dearly.

Should semi-automatic stand be outlawed?

Green Day (mold functions like an automatic stand it counts)

Limp Bizkit

Sheer Heart Attack

Ozon Baby

unironically Bags Groove from TJL was a very tense and well-written arc but i'll give you another because some other guy said it sucks

Black Sabbath

What do you wish to see in chapter 25? I'm hoping for

Continuation on Paco's backstory

Ningbo

A Howler family tree

Key West stops being a shitty Lawyer

Rai in Shakedown Road

he throws Joshu to the leaves so he's catapulted somewhere

Meryl stand reveal plz

MAMEZUKU RAI
Name reference: When Mermaids Cry (Eagle-Eye Cherry song)
Stand reference: Doggy Style (Doggystyle, Snoop Dogg album)
The "mame" (豆) in his name means "bean" or "pea", and you can see the peapod motif throughout his design and his stand.

Do you really have to ask?

someone should have told araki that

JJL looks like THAT?!?!

Do you think he listens to Snoop Dogg?

tsurugi sexooooo sexooooooooo tomorrow is a tsurugi storytime

I liked it.
As a villain Damo is an important step on the "villain ladder", he's pretty threatening despite his less-than-amazing ability, and the fight was pretty thrilling.
I'm not a "stakes" guy so I literally don't care if no one dies.

People just aren't enthusiastic anymore, they weren't ragging automatics that hard back in part 6. Even Tubular bells, something people already said would be boring at the time had a fine reaction past picking apart why Cream Starter did this and Tubular Bells did that. And yes, Bites the Dust was fun, Surface was GREAT, Super fly was fun, Cheap Trick was fun, Rolling Stone was fun, Highway to Hell was fun, Marilyn Manson was fun, Flaccid Pancake was fun, Survivor was fun, Dragons Dream was fun, Yo-Yo Ma was fun, Bohemian Rhapsody was fun, Tubular Bells was fun, Born this way was fun, Shake Down Road was fun, Milagro Man was fun, it was all FUN.

ningbo looks like a total psycho and i need to see more of him. we also have like 4 unnamed stands, we need some names

I want the current plot to be paused so Araki can focus on retroactively fixing Jojolion

Roy Jay reference so that Anon Babble goes batshit insane

He looks like one but he seems relatively civil to me. He was trying to real Chabang back in when she started getting super aggressive

It's less about automatic stands themselves but more about Jojolion's overusage and poor handling of them

Peas on his clothes

Kira eats peas

What did Araki mean by this?

Nta but if we are taking the wiki then Highway Star isn't even automatic. Which it really isn't IIRC but it's not like I wanna argue it.

Born this way was fun, Shake Down Road was fun,

No.

seething

Absolute love hearing people complain about this part. Gimme more

Highway Star

It is listed as automatic in the wiki
