Is the new chap out
Yeah
ye
Is it good
Yes
Yes
the new chap as in oujiro part 3 or after that
Thx
Its great
Yasuho
Yasuho
yasuho simply because paisley park
I'd like kyo more if she was explored more
i just think killing people with heels is so cool
Paisley Park is a phenomenal stand
paisley park is like a chinese hacker
One of the best jjl stands
aside from the "you have two options" thing
also, mina wasn't responding after the gate incident
like she got really fucked up
so i think that was probably akefu's stand
Did she die?
that's not clear
Akefu is overall a weird character, hopefully next chapter is all about him given its 89, that's too good of an opportunity to pass up
Yeah
i think
the head mistress says it was really bad, but then says that she only had light scratches
Holy shit joubin is ruthless
anything for tsurugi I guess
He's a good father
super violent, super ugly
I like its design
How does it work through phones though?
It reflects his personality, he's very handsome and charmimng on the outside, but sinister and ruthless deep inside
It stores heat in objects it touches
speed king has already touched that phone
Ooh
that's literally how it works
Literally killer queen with heat
except better because apparently he can use it multiple timss
for just one touch
and he has some incredible precision
In a way the heat is better than the bombs, since it just creeps up into you right away instead of an explosion that can potentially not fully hit you
How hot does it go at maximum?
Nobody knows
there's no way this is akefu's stand
enough to set wood on fire
Double boiling
during the ozone baby attack
It might be his damage enhancement @hoary sun
he did a chemical reaction to create oxygen
maybe, but they weren't following akefu anymore
but
if his ability is only to lock heat
like to stop it from dispersing or saving the heat energy in some other way
It's like the opposite of white album
there's no way it could get hot so fast
a phone is actually really good for speed king, since phones consistently create heat
he has to wait till the heat flows at its natural place to the spot
that's what I think too
White Album defies physics as well, it can cool stuff down in a ludicrously small amount of time
I also think that if someone were to touch such a spot without it activating
it would feel incredibly cold since no heat escapes
gently weeps is a special ability, though
Bro what would happen if white album and speed king collided
Would it just be room temp
White album would win
White Album would probably win
I want a speed king vs white album fight now
Cold is lack of heat, so Speed King has nothing to work with
speed king wont work in space
I guess that's true
yeah white album is far more active than speed king
Can speed king just booby trap his entire house
Also, I love the fact that the "heat bombs" leave behing a Speed King shaped blister on Oujirou's skin, a very nice touch
throw rock at white album
Tsurugis stand is insane too
Yeah
It got better
now that I think of it, is speed king just kraft work on a smaller scale?
He showed himself dying somehow
So I don’t really know what paper moon king is capable of at this point
He changed ojiros perception of them
heat is just kinetic energy on a really small level
It only builds it up because he taps the bullets
@spiral hemlock, Your Stand Power is now level 7 !
When they are suspended
Also how did the bullets move with the truck??
He just gets rid of all kinetic energy
he can affix it I guess
also wait
Kraftwerk kinda stops the flow of time for a certain object, if it just froze the kinectic energy it would still fall due to gravity
@burnt kite, Your Stand Power is now level 8 !
couldn't he just freeze the bullets in midair unrelated to the truck
and let them hit mista
Kraftwerk doesnt allow bullets to gain kinetic energy like that
Heat is what happens when molecules vibrate right
its what happens when molecules fly around
Gravity and the space around the objects don't influence the objects touched by Kraftwerk, so it being equal to Speed King is just false
well it was an idea I guess
Especially in later parts
Araki’s done literally everything obvious by this point
The closest comparison is killer queen
I wonder if jobin took the money back oujiro stole from him
Man makorin getting her face melted is gonna be brutal in the anime
Oh damn yeah
Lots of part 7 and 8 scenes are gonna be super violent
if josuke is going to get a new stand/power i hope it's called ''All star''
i want to see a stand called allstar
blue hawaii arc will be fucking brutal
walk straight virus
...i need to reread jojolion for real
do it
The end of blue hawaii was where i finally got caught yp
I'm rereading SBR and I'm gonna reread jjl after
I read sbr like 5 times
I'll probably understand things a lot more then
I hope someone in part 8 uses spin
There are so many good arcs in the beginning of jjl
Even though I know they won’t
Josuke uses spin?
after the brain storm fight rai caught a bubble from s&e
After rereading the head doctor chase, though, I’m back to the theory that tooru’s stand is damage enhancement, and akefu’s stand is obstacles
And they work in tandem
Now that I think about it, the concept of acummulating kinectic energy on an object with none to begin with makes no sense, the moment any sort of energy is applied, the object won't be "frozen" anymore
It’s stored as potential energy then released
How did that guys neck brake tho?
Damage enhancement
tooru's stand made it worse
I guess
being frozen in time
that's my theory anyways
because the head doctor was already on the bus and driving away
and tooru even says he saw it happen
its like time stop is used on the object
i can def see damage enhancement. But how the HD is able to be in the higashkata yard and then just dissapear
and all that happened during the freeze is just applied all at once
Still, the potencial energy would not remain potential unless its constantly draining away the kinectic energy, which in turn would leave no energy left stored
it's like july 15th but worse
potencial energy is gravity right?
height?
The object are mid-air too, so it makes even less sense
Kraftwerk really only makes sense if it stops the flow of time for certain objects, not freezing the kinectic energy
Like in Breath of the Wild
but then, how can he affix the bullet to the truck?
It just works
it just works
jojo physics really do be like dat sometimes
I like how we went from jojolion to just kaftwerk
it just kraft works
back to jojolion. Fav fight in jojolion?
Walking heart
Born this way
Killer queen vs vitamin c
vitamin c in general
doobie wah
Josuke literally risks his life just to ask if he can kill her boyfriend
dang. mixed
Reminded me of giorno
i giorno giovanna
Not only does born this way have 2nd best girl, it has an amazing stand and plot importance
Female josuke
paisley park helping josuke
jotaro**
Brainstorm was kinda neat, but best for me was Doctor Wu
Theory; everyone in jojolion is josuke
Kyo got jotaros design and Kira got his attitude and personality
a r e y o u a m a n o f t h e l a n d o r a r e y o u a m a n o f t h e s e a
Jaquzzi
😡
bites of fingers

fhak;sfhsdahf LOOK at what's written under the text box on the right i didn't notice that before
what
100% trash?
They're prosthetics
fuk i forgot
His girlfriend steps on them and they come off
no i know
Probably not, since Wu knows he exists, and it would be pretty weird that the mastermind behing the Rokakaka gang is just an illusion
i'm just subscribing to the theory
but it is strange that the rockhuman says that it's tsurugi who makes the right actions
like everybody is dumb
execpt him
This might be an an unpopular opinion, but Wu didn't deserve to die, he was literally saving the lifes of the people who ate the Rokakaka
he didn't stop mitsuba's baby from being miscarried
@hoary sun, Your Stand Power is now level 13 !
and he was also trying to kill yashuo and mitsuba
While he was a shitty person, he was at least saving lifes and assuring people didn't die from the treatement
i guess
and he also used the rokakaka for models right?
like models would buy the rokakaka to look better

is there any estimate on how long it'll take for this new volume to get colored?
it just started a new volume
aaaaaaAaa
He says that because tsurugi isn’t actively trying to get involved
I think
So do y'all think it's likely that Satoru's stand will be called The Wonder of You, after the arc he debuted in?
I hope so, it's a great name
does nobody want a stand with the name ''all star'' exept me?
it's the shrek song
the wonder of u is also a nice name
ninth jojo stand name revealed: all star
i would be more than happy
You never know with Araki, but there's such a huge backlog of good song references that I doubt Smash Mouth songs would ever be used
Though he did use Limp Bizkit, so it's possible
yey
he changed Going Underground to Born This Way so why not All Stars
He also changed Stairway to Heaven to Made in Heaven, never understood why though
Both are great songs
i think it's because the name made in heaven is better than stairway to heaven
it sounds a bit cooler with made in heaven
made in heaven's lyrics fit better with the story
Yo imagine if the head doctor is au old speedwagon
oh fuck
That would be so bizzare
They wouldn't stand a chance
Speedweed with a stand
Speedwagon was the only survivor of the reset
speedwagon made a machine that was able to take him to alternative universes
Oh didnt you know that speedwagon resurected himself in 2001 in order to explain king crimson
it just works
f
as i see it rn , it has the ability to do everything machines can do
exept like cars and planes
it can do xray
it can be a gps
it do machine stuff
basically a better hermit purple that doesnt conduct hamon
yap
Nut King Call sounds like a euphamism
for what?
Lmao yeah
Like lmao people wanted him to join the group and he received Shigechi treatment
Speed king has already touched the money
shi shi shi shi...
jojolion Joestar best jojo
get outta here I heard you're still in part 4
Watch part 5 @gloomy quiver
I’m sorry I was told to send that
its just "find me a useful thing"
I'm finally caught up and get to suffer with the everyone else 
@fathom flume, Your Stand Power is now level 2 !
jobin would win against josuke because josuke cant use plunder on himself
@minor ore, Your Stand Power is now level 11 !
neat
what the hell is up with part 8
on Dolomite's blue Lagoon
also is it me or are there a lot of automatic tracking stands in this part
part 8 is trying to recreate a lot of part 4, and part 4 had highway star and sheer heart attack, both also automatic stands
True but so far there's Born this Way, Blue Hawaii, Doobie Wah!, I Am A Rock (in terms of automatic tracking ven though its technically close range), King Nothing, kinda Paisely Park too?
Paisley Park is pretty much just "plot advancement" the stand though
seems like automatic tracking stands are the thing of part 8
maybe arakis getting lazy
eh teh chase sequences are creative enough i'm not bored or anything, but it does seem interesting
the autoamtic chase stands seem to result in the most brainy/logical fights too
like black sabbath in part v which is still one of my favs, though thats in large part due to black sabbath having a bitching design
blue hawaii was like 8 chapters, essentially we had to wait 8 months for that arc
next chapter is cursed, chapter 89 in general was caeser's youth part 2, a chapter before he ended up dying i believe, chapter 89 of stardust crusaders was younger d'arby, which was happening while polnareff and iggy were suffering in the mansion and avdol was dead, chapter 89 of diamond is unbreakable is only shortly after shigechi's death, chapter 89 of vento aureo was only shortly after bucciatari's zombification, chapter 89 of SO was shortly before foo fighters and chapter 89 of SBR was FV's death
so pray for both yasuho's and rai's soul
and hope it's joshu
its gonna be rai

joshu is in no danger right now, why would he be dead
no clue
akefu is going to donut rai
or atleast kill rai
akefu is main villain and i refuse to believe otherwise

we see norisuke in a body bag tho, so its gotta be either rai or norisuke
but then that means if norisuke dies next chapter we'll need a 3 day time skip, which cant happen because head doctor bullshit
so its rai
i hope to god
norisuke and rai
i'm assuming norisuke is dead
and rai is pretty cursed as a jobro
if we see two deaths side by side
i'm going to sunlight yellow overdrive thunder cross split attack cracker volley ora ora ora dorarara mudamudamuda araki
norisuke's dead or unconscious, but thats right before the rokakaka will be harvested, so probably in a few more chapters, however josuke yasuho and rai are chasing after the head doctor currently, so during the fight rai will probably die
yasuho better not die she is one of the best characters
Yeah
who's betting araki is going to be making more donuts again instead of killing main character off in more unique fashions
it depends if the main villains stand is power-based really, cant donut people if you're not a hard hitter
Also is it me or is gappy one of the punchiest and most brutal jojos
like even jotaro uses star platinum to do his punching
yeah stands are you but still
like there's a fair amount of fleshy fisticuffs in this part
and gappy tends to immediately go for lethal takedowns too imo
dont forget shovel
yeah that too
who needs a shovel if your stand can drive a car
who needs a car when your stand can use a gun

you should've first talked about Wheel Of Fortune instead of Whitesnake
I couldnt think of a step up from that
When the hell does SK use a car
I don't remember that panel at all
I bet it’s gonna be a fucked up kill, or tsurugi did it on accident
That’s possible
we'll see eventually
Speed king has already touched the car
@steady jacinth think chapter 83
Luckily yasuho probs wont die this part
Since she’s the narrator
Technically
Mamezuku is gonna be dead by October’s chapter
Shovel time
mm yummy
well what else are you supposed to do when facing blue hawaii
its not like you just can let it touch you
If it touches you, you lose brain cels
It basically vegetablizes you
exactly
but yeah he could have used other means to stop that woman
like plunder the friction
Can soft and wet steal people’s brains
diver down can do that
Should have just stole that ladies friction on the shoes
She go spin
Soft and wet steals virginities
blue hawaii is an unavoidable stand over time
Lowkey wanna see josuke x yasuho in a chapter
Would be kinda cute
Ngl
But not super intense
I mean thats already a thing
None of that
stuff
I’m talking about them fucking
oh

Mamezuku fucking dies soon
They should build his character a little
well part 8 is made for adults but
Maybe in the doctor arc
rai is immortal
Doubt
his stand makes him durable af tbh
Yasuho wont die
I don’t think
I HOPE she doesn't
Since in the beginning she says “this is a story about breaking a curse”
Maybe it will flash forward
And she says that right as she’s dying
dont jinx it
Honestly her dying would really give a connection
dont jinx it
I would like to see it for story purposes, bu she’s too wholesome to die
she has no combat capabilities whatsoever tho
well except when they introduce fully automated whatever in jjl but eh
who is that guy he seems badass
what a chad
What a chad indeed
joshu has big chad energy
Why does everyone think Rai will die?
He may be a zeppeli since in part 7 it was said that they moved to another country but no one knows which

because he most likely will
he looks like fodder
where is pope of joshu church

poop sock
nice
Might reread in color
I should watch that movie sometimes
buh
bruh
Remember when araki forgot how to draw and kill dogs?
He can only draw dogs he intends to kill
Can we say that Ojiro is the milf hunter of part 8?
I love how
you bring up that panel
and I remembered
that dog fucking lived after that
well it is a rock animal
I think it is
after it finishes that is
cause I'm gonna forget everything from the start
while trying to keep up with the present
I almost forgot who Ojiro was
@hoary sun He drew secco well but he still died
That’s the funniest fucking thing I’ve read all day
@minor ore i mean @minor ore is r8ght, we might get a fucking scene of josuke and yasuho
After all, there was a scene where poor tom was doing the "deed"
During the cheap trick arc, someone yells at rohan "maybe draw a nude?"
rohan is self insert of araki
part 8 starts with a naked woman
CONWISIDINK?
COINSIDINGDONGER?
BOINGO
OINGO
Huh
Hmmm
What is it with people calling joshu cool
I think it's part meme part serious
pretty sure it's all meme
still love him though, one of the funnier jojo characters imo
THIS IS WHY
I like him
LOOK AT THAT POSE
virgin pose vs chad joshu
he is the first charecter to pose in jojolion
Joshu's first haircut
idk man there is someting about joshu in that pannel
Somehow worse than the current one
can i get some opinions on why Gappy likes to sleep underneath the matress
he has autism
that's fast
not joking, thats a legit theory
i'm not saying that you're wrong
they make weighted blankets for people with autism I guess cuz it helps them somehow, same way gappy likes pressure on him while he sleeps too
weighted blankets are used for a lot of things not just autism
also people say the way he acts is similar to how people with autism may act
I dont fully trust this theory but its a popular one
does he make eye contact though
idk
78 votes and 43 comments so far on Reddit
if he's on the spectrum it might be hard to know
but if he doesn't make eye contact that might be a good indicator that he is
i assumed he liked the pressure because he became josuke while being buried
oh that's a good one
yeah that's what I thought
the walleye made him this way
Y'know I realized, if Speed King's ability is similar to Killer Queen in that it can attach itself onto objects, it has serious synergy with Mitsuba's Stand
Also one has to wonder, does the heat transfer apply if a Stand touched it as well?
we don't know if it does yet, speed king hasn't fought with a stand that punches it in the face yet
Also it has serious synergy with Kaato's Stand as well
How for example
Being able to store up a booby trapped object and then eject it out of nowhere
i can imagine it works with her deck of card real well
As for Mitsuba, any object becomes a projectile thanks to her Stand
But then I can't see a situation where mitsuba has to fight with jobin
her stand card even specifies energy iirc so it would apply to his raw heat too
theyre married and both have pretty aligned ambitions as far as family goes
The problem that keeps Speed King from being utterly broken is that it either has to slowly boil you alive, or it has to reach directly to your head
yeah it doesnt insta kill like KQ and also has no bomb aoe effect
I'm curious about how would speed king react if it get punched
and theres no sheer heart attack
But we do know the heat can spread if one touches a 'heated' body part
Mitsuba wouldn't fight with Jobin
Like how Ojirou liked his fingers and had his brain melted
he touched the money
either way jobin has a ton of potential allies right now
like
that all synergize well with his ability
Yeah, and the heat from the money went to his hand and then his tongue
tsurugi, mitsuba, tooru, doc
I wonder if mundane water can reverse the effect of Speed King
Oh god can Speed King's ability transfer over to liquids? That'd be busted
The doc is part of the research organization which he stole the branch from
those three alone would be a huge threat to the rai, josuke, and yasuho squad
It is more likely they'd fight
what if soft and wet covers speed king with bubbles, would that cools it down
@ocean mirage, Your Stand Power is now level 6 !
and Mitsuba is hiding a lot from Jobin
She even fears him
And recently was allied with Yasuho and Josuke
A final fight involving Joubin, Kaato, Tsurugi and maybe even Mitsuba would be interesting
She'd be grateful for the help at least and I don't it's likely she'd be with Jobin
If a gigantic clusterfuck
I'd love to see a team fight, that'd be awesome
Especially Tsurugi with his Aizen tier power
a 3 on 3 would be crazy
tsurugi has just been getting stronger and stronger
Quite unlikely tho
For a fight of this proportion
tsurugi is getting more and more desperate for the fruit i think
Do Gappy, Yasuho and Mamezoku even have the skillset for such a power team?
maybe not yasuho, who has a much more utility based stand
yasuho might get killed off
mamezoku is a prime target for death by then
We already know Gappy can trap and move heat with S&W, I think it's safe to say Gappy can survive Speed King if he discovers the attack in time.
Unless we do Higashikata Civil War and have literally every other Higashikata family member fight them too, a 3 on 3 would not be a fair fight in this case
Heat or disintergation is the only thing that can beat Mamezuku at this point it seems so sk can be dangerous
I highly doubt the Higashi's would side with Joubin, if Norisuke really did die
unless they pin it on Josuke
hed probably be a neutral party tbh
if hes even alive...
Norisuke would def be with Josuke
Paisley Park is a total crap shoot, Soft and Wet is versatile but heavily context dependant, Doggy Style even more so
Tsurugi seems to be acquiring a new ability
He helped him and even sent Rai
and I'm not sold that Mitsuba would side with Joubin
im not so sure, josuke does some pretty crazy stuff even without attribute stealing soft and wet
she seems pretty put off by his whole "strength" speeches
almost all jjl fights are context based anyways
It's kind of insane that after all of this, the most dangerous person in Jojolion is a cross dressing little boy
I'm thinking that Joubin will come very close to going over the edge, but will be saved by his families words, only to have Kaato fuel his bad side and become the true big bad
it's a higashikata kid
Y'know, when you think about it
Jojolion has the highest amount of JoJos in the series at the same time
If you go back and read the flashback where Kaato exchanges to save Joubin, shes the one that planted the seed of "climbing higher" into Joubin
@inner yew, Your Stand Power is now level 1 !
as well as the least amount of protag deaths 
Yet.
he talked about that when he comes to domomite too
Don't forget no one died in SC til the penultimate battle
Josuke, Joubin, Joshu, Josefumi
considering how many people died in sbr i hope that araki will go easy on us this time
Kyo seems likely
i think araki will kill off a bunch of supporting characters like yasuho
Reminder that we still have no idea where the stone curse came from
Something something Holy Corpse
something something rock humans
My guess is A) It has always been a higashi thing, or B) Love Train misfortune fuckery
rock humans can't reproduce
i really hope it ties into the rock humans origin
Nah that's too self referential even for JoJo
I actually think the Rokakaka was created by Love Train, since New Guinea is basically on the opposite side of the planet from America
I had this idea when Kaato was first introduced that she was a secret Rock Human that intentionally went to prison to hibernate
But then I thought
"That's fucking stupid"
lmao
Even if she did there was no way anyone in the prison would have not noticed it.
but can rock human reproduce
Yeah it's safe to say that no Higashi's or Joestars are Rock Humans
But Araki never confirmed or denied crossbreeding is possible
he merely said they reproduce similarly to humans
They probably can, but only between Rock Humans
he did say it wasn't possible
They're silicon based lifeforms, remember?
Oh he confirmed they can't reproduce?
I thought it was just "romance between them often ends poorly"
I meant
what if they're made by someone
Between humans and rock humans tho
right
so we don't know for just rock humans
They're just incompatible on a fundamental level
well we never saw the dick
XD
the dick is very important
big if true
I mean Rock Humans can definetly have sex with humans
For some reason I just thought that baby rock humans randomly grew like plants
Poor Tom forced us to know that
rip tom btw
Now that I think about it, we haven't seen a single female rock human
@supple plaza, Your Stand Power is now level 6 !
mmmmmm
Which puts credit to the theory they could be male-looking hermaphrodites
can't wait for the moment when gappy kills the head doctor
Joshu kills the head doctor
i hope the head doctor ends up amounting to what the civil war arc is for sbr
Joshu will go on a rampage at the end
Then there's the Rock Animals and who knows how the fuck they work
iwasuke couls be 200 for all we know
Also poor head doctor
Do rock humans have an age limit
He was only 89 years old
which baby
the one who showed up on shore after Johnny's death
he's a rock human for sure, he might've taken someone else's idenity
huuuh
my guess was Aishou because he had a sweater on his head
I mean, probably
I really don't remember
do Rock humans mate underwater and lit their children was ashore?
i think araki is trying to confuse us with all the character and all the plots
i just assumed rock baby was a plot point araki gave up on
seeing as its never mentioned again
I really don't remember the rock baby
its a small news clipping when johnny dies
yeah when did the rock baby happen ?
Rock Humans don't actually survive underwater, remember?
i truly didn't remember
lol
It's like one of the first big things we've learned
the info is dropped right after the Joestar Jizou information
at the conclusion of Shakedown alley
ah right, they need air to breathe
yeah so foreverrr ago and never brought up again
Could it be the first rock human
In Morioh
Huh... I guess it's possible
though all the info about them seems to imply they've been around for sometime
that they're our evolutionary cousins
just using silicon instead of carbon
Also it's weird how Yotsuyu is the only one who actually uses the rock-shifting skills all Rock Humans are implied to have
Maybe he's just a cocky motherfucker
@inner yew, Your Stand Power is now level 2 !
thats true, i guess we only catch glimpses when damo and the other guy die in public
Ye it's pretty sad
i think any rock human is a cocky motherfucker
It's definitely clear that Araki was still figuring out what he wanted to do with them
but it wasn't convenient for the last fights
don't forget about Yotsuyu's siran wrap eye lasers
Being a rock human is pain, you either end up a crook or end up having a very shitty life
It makes me wonder if the Rock Humans will appear again in Part 9, along with maybe the Wall Eyes, whom explanation is still nowhere in sight
he remembered though! that makes me hopeful
just let gappy kills all of the rock human and everything will be fine
Gappy is brutal when it comes to killing the rock humans
because half of him is kira
I'm starting to think there's something about the Wall Eyes completely unrelated to every concept we've had up untill now, I don't think they're related to the Holy Corpse or Stands at all
he drowns one, explodes the head of one in public view, burns one and makes the other watch
oh yeah turned wu into cement
trying to remember which one was that @minor ore
Now that I think about it
This chapter is the first time a named human dies in jojolion
he wou've killed poor tom too if he wasn't shot in the head
woah
The Wall Eyes are definitely Devil's Palm
Gappy ends up being the main villain
oh shit gappy is the main villain we didn't see that coming
DOCTOR WU FIGHT THAT'S IT
I am somewhat hoping Gappy becomes just straight up Josefumi for the final fight
and we get to see Kira's ghost guy wish him luck or something
Nah they're different. Devil's Palm shifted around, Wall Eyes are static
@minor ore I didn't think he turned him into cement i thought he just corroded him in toxins.
gappy has that 1up
It's been alluded to a few times that Gappy is the one that's truly in the wrong
Yotsuyu: The one whose actions are correct... is Tsurugi!
Now that I think about it Holly hasn't appeared in a while
hes a got a pretty good moral high ground though... the rock humans dream isnt exactly a noble one
better yet, i would like gappy to be 2 whole person and exists like doppio and diavolo
which is a villain
So much so I'm starting to forget the character motivations
But Josuke inherently wants to save mommy
holly is in the hospital ]
Well its like happy doesnt give a shit about helping anyone else except for his goal to heal holly
Will Holly eat a rokakaka?
half of it maybe?
Not sure... maybe the new one?
Jobin, Walter White-esque as he is, just wants to save his son
And it might end up Holly was helping the rock humans find a use for the fruit
But doesnt the new one still require another person's body?
they don't know how to do it yet
Is it like a portable Sacred Grounds or something?
the new one specifically takes from other person
She obviously tried eating one for a reason and it backfired
We don't really know what the new Rokakaka does
Old: fixes body part while destroying another part
new: fixes body part while destroying someone else
my guess
yes
I see...
im pretty sure josuke is also halfbrain with both josefumi and kira, though
The Gappy fusion happened because of a mix of Rokakaka AND Wall Eyes Sacred Ground
oops
reading the fusion scene made me cry
accidental ping
Same that scene was so impactful
I love the scene where they finally fuse, it's fucking awesome
their brodom is so pure
i felt it when josefumi fed kira that fruit
Kira is such a cool guy, I love when Josefumi calls him out on wanting to save Holly, and is like "Of course I'm in man."
I'm starting to wonder if Gappy will maybe be forced to fuse again
fuse with what?
oof thatd get pretty convoluted
It's even worse when you realize josefumi was treating it for as a suicide
Idk if New Rokakaka will be used...
oh shit
They only won the Vitamin C fight because josuke played a bet with the walking heart user
My guess is Tsurugi will fuse with someone
We're going Digital Devil Saga 2 up in here
with jobin
Now that is an obscure reference
possible, I can see the fusion fucking up though and the mind is Joubin's but the body Tsurugi
jobin feeds tsurugi the fruit and he becomes one with tsurugi maybe
ive been hoping for that for a while
Tsurugi turns into diavolo
Okay who actually want the Digital Devil Saga 2 reference explained?
I can also see Head Doctor using it on Tsurugi to get a younger body
and become a half rock, hald regular human... human
Head doctor sent actually going to be old
so a rock human human
I have a feeling the "oldness" is also a ruse
some undertale shit
Tooru might very well be the Head Doctor's proxy
Its actually tsurugi's new ability
i def think hes a proxy but wouldnt be surprised either way
for either tooru or tsurugi
Yeah, Tooru appeared a bit too coviniently
oh damn could head doctor be Tsurugi?
OH SHIT TSURUGI IS THE HEAD DOCTOR ALL ALONG
The part where Tooru defends Josuke with the whole guy's neck snapping
really leads me to believe Head Doctor himself is an illusion by Tooru
He showed up at the gate and tsurugi can make us see anything so maybe
an illusion dated yasuho? damn thatd be messed up
and he had two goals, to distract them and fuck them up... and to separate Gappy from Yasuho
nah Tooru's real, but the guy they're chasing isn't
remember when yasuho came into the bathroom with joshu?
the nut
Also tsurugi is now passing out, so something could be happening in that time
yasuho can't catch a break
whats the deal with his face morphing was that the rock disease
WAIT !
The horrifying thing is that perception manipulation can explain and be used for almost goddamn anything
Right after the head doctor got away on a bus we see tsurugi walking up in the middle of town!
And there's seemingly no range limit
Waking
Holy shit you may be right...
When you put it like that then it's possible that the Head Doctor is an illusion
Which is why his movements seem so erratic and nonsensical
damn yo
Perhaps head Dr. fleeing and Tooru's "inconvenience" stand are two distinct phenomena
And his seeming teleportation
oh shit so we don't know which one is him
it's like kira
I thought you wrote fleeing as if that was his name. Dr.Fleeing
This part is so insane
i see it as like an angler fish stand. its all tooru's but the old man is just a bait for the stands "bad luck"ability
jesus christ is the Head Doctor created by Tsurugi??
@inner yew, Your Stand Power is now level 3 !
I don't think any part has been even remotely as unpredictable and well planned than Jojolion
Wait... maybe he's subconsciously continuing to throw them off Joubin's trail
Yasuho herself was like "Yo this is the wrong lead, let's go for Joubin"
and they're like "Come on the doctor is right over here!"
but maybe the head doctor might not even be real
If Tsurugi is the cause there's no way Joubin doesn't know
I don't think he is.
He's definitely some sort of illusion.
At least the thing they're chasing...
Or again he might be Tooru, and the fancy dressed man is the illusion
the way he walks reminds me of silver chariot requiem
people can get close but never get TO him
The thing they are chasing, is definitely not a person. It's an image, illusion, or projection.
It's either created by Tooru, or Tsurugi, I think that's safe to assume.
I think the comparison to Requiem is also fair
you seem to get hurt or face repercussions when you pursue it.
i know right?
Well considering that the Stand used in the Head Doctor mini-arc definetly wasn't Paper Moon King, we can assume it's BOTH
tooru did it for sure, the dude dressed like he has a stand
Which either means that Tsurugi is (again) in cahoots with the Rock Humans or they're accidentally attacking the same person at the same time
It WOUULD be kind of strange if "Old Man Illusion" and "Inconvenient shit runs into you" were the same stand
but it's possible, Jojo has had pretty convoluted powers before
It's just that Paper Moon King has been one of THE most used Stands in the entire Part
it's also possible that the Old Man illusion is a subconsciously created illusion
by Tsurugi when he faints
So like some sort of out-of-body Diavolo?
but that's a bit of a stretch
paper moon king requiem maybe?
because Tsurugi was never around to know about Head Doctor
so why would it be creating that image
I've had this idea for a while now but
What if the New Branch can evolve Stands in some way?
it's ALSO possible that Head Doctor really is the thing they're chasing, and he can just teleport around using his stand
maybe tsurugi doesn't know but the stand is acting on its own
Well, Araki implied that "heart's changing" can change stands
I think Tsurugi might be feeling torn about working both side, with his dad and Josuke's team
he's working with jobin for sure
Well that's more of a 'natural' evolution of a Stand. Stands always have gotten their powers from the personality and motivations of the User
Tusk is a naturally evolving Stand, for example
So is Echoes
is that why part 8 kira has a more feminine looking killer queen ?
That's probably just artstyle evolution tbh
part 4 killer queen is much more jacked
I'm talking more Requiem 'forced evolution' type of thing
Maybe it can evolve your stand in exchange for your humanity or something
what new pics?
But this is a shot in the dark
I just assumed rock-disease is fucking with tsurugi's power
Oh I'm not saying the Rokakaka is what's making Tsurugi's Stand go berserk
After all it has still not been harvested
but tsurugi's motivation has changed
it's hard to know what his motivation is
He seems kind of dragged into helping his dad
i think he wants the fruit
Remember that Jojolion is a story about breaking a curse, it's been stated from the first pages
I think it's fairly obvious what Tsurugi wants
He just wants to live
oh shit, what if breaking the curse is ending the jojo bloodline?
@ocean mirage, Your Stand Power is now level 7 !
And not force his mom or dad to die for him
I mean, that's one way to interpret it
But there's the much more obvious interpretation of the Higashikata Rock Curse
I remember there’s an episode in atla of zuko being unable to fire bend because he switched sides. Maybe something’s happening to tsurugi because he’s working against josuke and yashuo now
but is his stand that malleable to change like that
Koichi’s stand changed significantly just because he gained confidence
because koichi had it in him all along
I think it's more the fact that the more darkness is in your soul, the more destructive your Stand is
does that explain why the world and star platinum so strong
It's less about the awakening and more about the evolution
oh shit that might explain why star platinum was weaker when jotaro gets older, he's not as angry as before
A seemingly playful and harmless Stand like Paper Moon King starts to slowly transform into a horrifying uncontrollable thing after its user starts getting more drowned in desperation and fear
Makes sense to me
i can get behind that but it's the speed of the change
it's so quick
maybe the disease scares him that much
Well, he's still a child
@supple plaza, Your Stand Power is now level 7 !
And he's been getting manipulated left and right
he's acting more and more grown up for sure
There'll come a certain point where Paper Moon King might go completely berserk and maybe become totally separated from Tsurugi
Wouldn't it be wild if Paper Moon King evolved into a manifestation of Tsurugi's negative emotions?
so like it would requiem itself?
