Jojo

final fully weekly part

Speaking of which does anyone know why early SBR chapters were so long? Even before Araki moved to Ultra Jump they all had like 30 pages each.

FPBP. If Araki or the anime had included just any SoL filler, my estimation would rise from 8/10 to 10/10.

you now remember Hermes crying over Weza

Jolyne crying over Weather's death despite only meeting him once(the other time was WS)

Have the MC not be a girl.

How would you rank each Jojo in a fight without spin, hamon or stand?
something like: jonathan > joseph > jotaro = jolyne > josuke prt 4

Personally I don't like Part 6's characters
Jolyne is great but everyone else is eh to me. There's no big stand out like Bruno or Rohan or Gyro. Sure Annasui is funny and FF is cute but that can only get you so far

joseph pulls a machine gun and wins
also a single comment about his hair and josuke is sending jolyne to another universe

Not make the stands shit.
Make the story better.
A lot of side characters have really bad designs.
Main cast are good but poorly utilised.

Assuming no weapons or Hamon or stands or special abilities
Jotaro>Jonathan>Joseph>Josuke8>Jolyne>Josuke4>Giorno>Johnny
Jotaro beat a grown man into a bloody pulp when he was 7 years old. You're not beating him in a fist fight
Jonathan is also a great fighter
Same with Joseph
Jolyne knows how to scrap for sure
Josuke8 showed us he can box so he's up there I'd bet
Josuke4 is a wild card. On his own I don't think he's a great hand to hand fighter but if you say something about his hair he might be unbeatable.
Giorno doesn't seem like the type of kid who got into fist fights growing up so he'd be pretty useless
Johnny is in a wheelchair.

Jodio hasn't shown us his full on psychopathic nature yet in a fight, he might gain tard rage and be stronger than Jotaro for all we know

Jonathan beat vampire Dio without hamon and tanked getting his forearm sliced down to the bone on Ogre Street.

A lot of it is I think it's really obvious the Araki was burnt out when it came to ideas for Stand powers/fights at the start of the part. Both in thinking them up and writing them up. The fights are often hard to follow because the powers are ill defined or constantly being changed mid-fight (insert "same kind of stand" joke here) and things are just dragged out to fill up page count because Araki doesn't know where to go with the fight. Perhaps the best example is right at the start with Manhattan Transfer where the fight ends and Araki realizes he has no idea what to do next so he just says "That fight didn't happen it was just a dream, now watch the exact same fight a second time but it's not a dream this time I swear!".

Didn't Jotaro kill vampire Dio with his bare fist or was that Star Platinum?

First JoJo thread after the storytime finished

Did you all enjoy it?

Are you serious? It was obviously Star Platinum.
They said make the part BETTER not WORSE. Rikiel's the prime example of Part 6's characters being gimmicky. He'd overstay his welcome in an instant.

Yeah but isn't that still his strength? I thought in SDC the stand is just an extension of the user like how the stand can grab onto a ledge and then one panel later the user is grabbing the same ledge with his bare hand. Part 4+ stands are a little different.

Cast him

Would Jonathan have been a good daddy to Giorno?

Stands are magic.
But Jotaro is not strong enough to punch through diamonds, but Star Platinum is.

Where did Holly go wrong?

Nowhere. Her son still loves her cooking.

Yeah
He could hammer out some of Giorno's kinks. Namely show him some restraint
Showing him too many Clint Eastwood movies

Character designs tend to be pretty shitty at this point.
But really the style is too overly dire and mean spirited for Jump as well. Part 6 really never has that time period where you see a light at the end of the tunnel. The main cast just eats shit over and over again and they're obviously outmanned and outgunned the entire time.
Pucci is also annoyingly hypercompetent at times, particularly him fighting without eyesight against Weather and Anasui and winning easily.

Dwayne Johnson.

Nowhere. Jotaro was just a normal moody teenager.
Calls his mom a bitch, but shows concern when she's not feeling well and will travel to the middle east to punch a 100 year old vampire to death to make her feel better.

Phantom blood and Battle tendency always felt like retronyms to me

Have the MC not be a girl

Nah having girl shonen MC is fine as long as she's cute / attractive. However much I like Jolyne, let's be real, Araki's art style doesn't really make conventionally attractive female characters. especially for the shonen readers. Also, the gang needed more moments together. Ermes was supposed to be the main jobro but she disappeared for half the part, the momentum from Sports Maxx arc was already gone down to drain. FF could've been popular but she died too early. Anasui got introduced too late. In exception to Jolyne, they never had real connection with each other, other than maybe Anasui - Weather or Anasui - FF (who got wasted early), that's why the supposedly dramatic scene of Ermes secretly crying for Weather felt absurd and unrealistic. A compelling antagonistic group is also important yet in SO they felt piss poor, mediocre designs, too individualistic and detached from each other compared to GW for example where La Squadra became a fan favorite. I liked the Part and Pucci is honestly one of the series' best antagonist but I can see why it doesn't appeal to many people.

LET THE VOICE OF LOVE TAKE YOU HI~GHER

Reminder, Part 6's fights were so bad that it's the only time David Pro rewrote an outcome to a fight. Every other fight even ones that got cut down or lengthened still kept the overall flow and outcome. Marilyn Manson's was changed to try and make it look more clever and satisfying.

It has the best ending out of the original 6 parts. The issue is that some of the stand ideas become too complicated. Araki was smart to make the stands in part 7 fairly simple.

”this guy can move his body across rope”

”this guy rewinds time a little”

”this guy can become invulnerable, but he cannot move while doing it”.

Even with stands like scary monsters, all the dumb things it does later can still just be brushed off as “yeah, dinosaurs”

Why don’t mangaka ever draw nipples?

I don't even think Araki understands what he wrote.

I think Araki overcorrected from part 5, where Giorno only wins like a handful of stand battles solo despite being the mc. Jolyne does most of the fighting, but that leaves the supporting cast with less to do.

The solution would be a smaller cast or a cast with mostly utility or support stands.
