Norisuke dies soon, tomorrow the lecture happens
#jojolion
inner yew
Maybe they’re wrong about it.
hoary sun
Because intent could be anything
waxen token
Hmmm... I wonder who they could mean Jousuke?
brittle blade
norisuke died minutes before the harvest
inner yew
Oh ok
soft raptor
I still think there is a chance that the stand belongs to Yasuho's ex
inner yew
Yeah me too
hoary sun
Yup
minor ore
Wait, remember that someone was with Wuu when he retrieved the branch? Maybe this ability is what killed Poor Tom
inner yew
In fact Satoru himself, might be a fiction created by Tooru
waxen token
Yasuho vs Tooru would be cool
minor ore
After all, he approached the ambulance and got attacked
hoary sun
...you think tooru was driving
inner yew
Akefu is an anagram of Fake U
hoary sun
It was jobin that shot poor tom tho right
inner yew
No confirmation on who killed Tom
Other than a heavy implication it was someone in the van
It was probably whoever else was in there (likely Tooru)
brittle blade
serial killer gappy
brittle blade
it caught me so off guard
minor ore
Could Softo ando Wetto steal virginity
inner yew
He can’t steal social constructs so no
placid gyro
Hello I'm from the future 2089 Part 8 finally gets anime announcement for the next century
minor ore
bruh is it out
inner yew
Yup
inner yew
A little short. More funny than anything.
Definitely not what I was expecting after the Ojiro arc
minor ore
short page count wise?
hoary sun
Not a lot happens
pastel adder
Like 10 pages shorter than last chapter
minor ore
ah okay
pastel adder
Just gets the pursuit of the head doctor arc/fight rolling basically
minor ore
yeah i figured thats what this chap would be about
probably will wrap up in 2, maybe 3 more
pastel adder
48 hours until the harvest
Which hopefully is the climax or sets the climax into motion
coral moss
will we make it to chapter 100
pastel adder
For sure
minor ore
why? jjl for 10 more years 
inner yew
There are doubtlessly more than 10 chapters left.
The final battle alone will probably take years to complete.
minor ore
for real though im guessing thisll be the last part so im hoping we get as much of it as possible
pastel adder
Sbr chapter 89 was break my heart, break your heart part 2, here we are chasing an 89 year old man
hoary sun
Lets get 1000 chapters of jojo
pastel adder
I expect part 9 to be a thing
pastel adder
And 9 will be the last part
minor ore
Does that mean Yasuho is the jobro that survived for most chapters? aside from Okuyasu
wow, it looks like it
pastel adder
Maybe
real ferry
Let's get 1000 volumes of JoJolion
pastel adder
God damn I want to reread sbr now
pastel adder
It really did
pastel adder
I really like the page with the stand in the back seat
real ferry
It was so great
real ferry
They could even see it in the mirror; so great
minor ore
Spoilers allowed here?
grizzled pilot
yes
minor ore
Glad to see Norisuke alive
real ferry
And now we know Norisuke dies within the last 48 hours of the harvest
minor ore
In Chapter 89
minor ore
I'm on first page of new chapter
analog ether
Everyone looks real cute in this artstyle
real ferry
And all the tiny text can actually be zoomed on
Which is
Such dedication
The silverware looked so fucking great
Josuke and the Higashikata family
Gosh
grizzled pilot
based lucky land
real ferry
Hella based
minor ore
Does Satoru's stand have a name?
real ferry
Not yet
analog ether
His chapter was named "The Wonder of You", So I guess we might go with that for now.
But officially, it has no name yet.
real ferry
Is Dangerous Pursuit a song?
grizzled pilot
i don't think that's a safe call
real ferry
Might as well call them by their users' names for now
robust ibex
more like doctor uwu
pastel adder
Dangerous pursuit isn’t a reference as far as I know
robust ibex
maybe the title will be a reference in the later format
real ferry
Also can I just say I love the small bits of text at the start of each chapter, on the cover?
hoary sun
They good
fallen trellis
:joshusip:
hoary sun
Here’s the mf tea
fallen trellis
This panel looks so good
minor ore
pastel adder
The whole chapter looks so god damn good
fallen trellis
Am I reading? What the fuck
tidal ocean
👀
minor ore
So the old geezer's stand puts obstacles in the way of those that try to find the user's identity?
hoary sun
As far as we know
minor ore
Sorta?
fallen trellis
The trigger is similar to Bites the Dust
pastel adder
Yeah most likely if it can sense intent
real ferry
Most likely automatic
minor ore
real ferry
No
tidal ocean
No
fallen trellis
I didn’t really get what was going on with the rain at the end
hazy crystal
anything that hits into the pursuer damages them
minor ore
hazy crystal
it also causes things to hit into the pursuer
so rain hitting into the pursuers damaged them
minor ore
So like Chocolate Disco?
fallen trellis
Hm
real ferry
Not really, it's more automatic I think
minor ore
Disco redirects stuff too, right?
minor ore
Oh
hazy crystal
it's more of a phenomenon yeah
If you have intent to pursue, things will get in your way
real ferry
Praise this phenomenon
hazy crystal
real ferry
hazy crystal
fallen trellis
Why was there such an increase in quality in this chapter
It looks crisper than usual
minor ore
Araki finally found out that the police exists
tidal ocean
Yeah, pucci in part 8 
fallen trellis
Abbacchio: Am I a joke to you
minor ore
yeah this chapter looked really good for some reason. maybe the smaller page count?
he used some thicker lines than usual
viscid mountain
So the head doctor has a vertion of bites the dust that activates when someone tries to follow him am I right?
viscid mountain
@queen fox I saw a drop of rain go trough someone's hand I'm sure is more agresivo than just putting stuff in front of you
queen fox
that might be another stand, it sounds unreasonable for one stand to do so much
Araki normally makes you think it's one enemy then it becomes two
viscid mountain
I think is more that when you pursue the head doctor stuff will get on your way and this stuff is going to pretty much really hurt you if it hits you I'm sure it could be a double stand attack since we have the head doctor and yasuho's ex but it could still be only the head doctor
And on the latest parts araki really has enjoyed using rain as a weapon
fallen trellis
Broke: The rain was caused by HD's stand
Woke: Blackmore was resurrected using Rock Human Technology
viscid mountain
And it's me or has it been a long time since we saw soft and wet use his hability to steal stuff lately he only has been using his bubblea to.... Stuff that isn't stealing
queen fox
Araki likely dropped it or just doesn't want to use it at the moment
viscid mountain
He is too busy asking for Rohan ovas
queen fox
you know what, I bet he used it but we just forgot
minor ore
Last time he stole something was heat during the beetle arc
Its a very situational ability so it makes sense
especially with the huge amount of chase/long range stands in jjl
pastel adder
Will we ever get a fight the tops Vitamin C in JJL
minor ore
from what weve seen it do, sound and light stealing wouldnt have helped at all in the last couple arcs
hopefully the finale
pastel adder
I hope so
fading cove
soft and wet could be really broken
minor ore
I think Akefu vs whoever or Jobin vs Josuke could possibly top it, but it's going to be difficult
Vitamin C is not only peak Jojolion but also peak Jojo
fading cove
get someone underwater and steal the air from their lungs
boom
death
its at least a b or an a in strength
minor ore
agreed @minor ore its not just the fight itself, but the flashbacks that make it so hard to top
He doesn't even need to do that if he's against a rock human, remember Yotsuyu
pastel adder
Vitamin C is probably the best fight of Jojo in its entirety
minor ore
its my favorite
pastel adder
The finale of sbr is close for me, especially break my heart, break your heart
fading cove
i loved that
i sat down to read 1 maybe 2 volumes
i read 5 and a half
like from d4c to final
pastel adder
Sbr be like that
pastel adder
Hard to top josefumi and Kira on the boat and when they fuse being included in your fight tho
Everything about vitamin c is just so good
minor ore
If you take the fight from Who shot johnny? to Break my heart, break your heart, i'd say that's peak jojo
But if i had to take D4C or Vitamin C, i'd take vitamin c
fading cove
i dont think it will
minor ore
the entire d4c fight is cheating
fading cove
be jobin placing heat bombs
pastel adder
I think it has the potential
minor ore
although break your heart is def top 3
fading cove
couldnt soft and wet just bubble the heat?
fading cove
this is why soft and wet is broken
minor ore
at least not with attributes
pastel adder
I like when used the bubble shields like in this chapter
minor ore
that was pretty comical
fading cove
the ozone baby fight
pastel adder
Ozone baby fight S&W was used well at least
minor ore
he uses it well id say every fight
pastel adder
Still no plunder though smh
meager finch
Im calling it
minor ore
like as a quick shield in dolomiti
meager finch
This will be the best jojo manga
minor ore
or a bubble wrap for yasuho
fading cove
hopefully
fading cove
because i was very disappointed because of the lack of a kira level villain
pastel adder
It’s still up in the air what’s going to exactly happen with the harvest and shit so it’s hard to tell what direction JJL is headed
fading cove
maybe holly will recover
because thats what i think will happen
but she's way to far gone
pastel adder
I guess I kinda expect Josuke to sacrifice himself
minor ore
he would have to if he wants to save holly
fading cove
i expect him to have the choose to get back his memories but he denies it
because he's his own person now
pastel adder
I also am calling that fusion is gonna go down with whoever the final villain is, that’s been my galaxy brain prediction for a while
minor ore
oof i gotta know how kira and josefumi are related though
pastel adder
JJL will go straight dragon ball on us just wait
viscid mountain
It was confirmed that the handsome guy that Gappy remembered was an early design of Damo?
minor ore
why would that give josefumi a joestar birthmark @fading cove
minor ore
fading cove
joshu needs to die tbh
minor ore
viscid mountain
fading cove
to me joshu will always be in the wrong
analog ether
The common headcanon seems to be that Josefumi's Joseph's bastard child
- Seeing as his the Josuke look
- His mother was going through a divorce
- And his name is literally Josephmi
viscid mountain
@fading cove you migh say that but when he finds the truth about the fish sausages you will be grateful
pastel adder
I wish I knew wtf araki was going for with that situation
analog ether
Wdym?
fading cove
i kinda what to see what sbr universe joseph would look like
viscid mountain
@pastel adder probably bites the dust it was going to be more like d4c but changed it near the end
fading cove
no
bites the dust was perfect for kira
it kept him living a quiet life
would not work for part 8 kira
pastel adder
Idk if it was setup or if it literally is just how he got his hairstyle lmao
fading cove
you see
analog ether
Some guy saves him and teaches him the value of selflessness
He copies his hair to mimick him as tribute
It's really not anymore complicated than that.
fading cove
part 8 kira is not a murder
minor ore
How would a fusion in the endgame make sense? We know that an entirely new person is created when 2 people fuse, meaning that whoever fuses will just die and a new character would enter the story having no idea of who they are
analog ether
^
viscid mountain
@fading cove but gappy is
pastel adder
Araki can fuck with it and make it work differently no problem
A new method, new fruit, whatever
minor ore
It's not like Caato and Jobin could fuse and become an all powerful antagonist, that wouldn't make sense
fading cove
araki does what ever he wants tbh
pastel adder
It really doesn’t make sense I’m just calling it for fun
viscid mountain
@minor ore more like a emotionally confused guy with a weird stand
minor ore
Agree, still wouldn't make sense
viscid mountain
And four testicles
minor ore
or a futa
supple totem
caato is inocent
fading cove
this is like the josuke heals you painlessly while giorno could make futa's
caato took the blame
minor ore
I hope the foreshadowing pays off at the end, we've had Holly and Caato being mentioned by important characters in the last 3/4 arcs yet they haven't done anything
fading cove
walks in house
supple totem
shes angry at her family
viscid mountain
Some day we will get answers for the true questions of part 8.. Why josuke has 4 balls?.... The head doctor is really 89 years old?..... And did they make the fish sausages smaller?
kind owlBOT
@viscid mountain, Your Stand Power is now level 4 !
analog ether
They uh
minor ore
Remember when Wu told Yasuho that Holly began the research on the rokakaka? Remember all that Tsurugi stuff because a girl made fun of Caato being in jail? I do Araki 
analog ether
They answered why Josuke had 4 balls tho
viscid mountain
@analog ether well yes but actually no
fading cove
he's two guys
analog ether
No they do
fading cove
no homo
analog ether
they really doo
viscid mountain
We know he has 4 because of the fusion but we don't know why all his body became 50/50 except is testicles
analog ether
Well I hope you haven't caught up because you're forgetting shit otherwise
fading cove
and it checks something off the list
analog ether
No you cave boys it's literally explained
they take an entie chapter to do it
goddamn it ill link it
fading cove
i think the 4 balls is like the fork scene
analog ether
analog ether
viscid mountain
@fading cove yup
analog ether
Just read this
fading cove
you can see it way better with color
viscid mountain
@analog ether @analog ether I already did but as I say his body is parts of Kira and josefumi mixed togueter to form a new guy and for some weird reason the only part that disappeared of Kira was his testucles
placid gyro
cause the balls are a symbol of MANhood
analog ether
They sperm had to go the guy who was alive ok?
placid gyro
so Josuke's twice the man
viscid mountain
@analog ether josefumi wanted to keep the legacy of Kira with him.... On the weirdest of senses
viscid mountain
@placid gyro no one can compete with him his presence on this chapter generates enought power to hurt gappy it wasn't the stand from the hd it was just Joshua's precense
Joshu*

so the damage amplyfier ability must be the head docters stand
old marlin
What
pastel adder
No I think both are part of his ability
supple totem
mbay
pastel adder
They specifically talk about how it has the power to kill
old marlin
The rain isnt being amplified if that's what you're thinking
It's not falling like actual rain
It's being pushed by the ability
pastel adder
Kind of like I Am a Rock lmao
viscid lintel
Damage amplification sounds cool
I was still thinking it was that copy ability shit we theorized a while ago
hoary sun
But the stand didn’t cause the rain. The rain was forecasted

@wispy cairn norisuke when joshu is in trouble: I sleep
Norisuke when josuke is in trouble: *breaks trough wall" WHERE TF IS JOSUKE!!
real ferry
As far as the past 2 episodes went, chronological continuity isn't too crucial. Most of the story is in Rohan's flashbacks
brittle blade
yeah it's more about the art style

@brittle blade, Your Stand Power is now level 25 !

tooru's ability is being a fuccboi

toorus ability is to remove Yasuho from the chapter

That shit was short

i mean it seemed pretty normal the last one was extra long i think
damn now we have to wait again
odd monolith
I'm FIVE pages in and this is the most jojo chapter of jojo I've ever read.
real ferry
Yeah Joshu drinking and Norisuke reading the newspaper are key JoJo moments
analog ether
The first half of this chapter was oddly cozy
tidal ocean
||suggest that as joshusip already||
pastel adder
Then you go to the boys chilling in a car in a fucking tree
odd monolith
@real ferry alright smarty pants, I was reading double paged, so I'll call it 5.
better?
real ferry
Ye
real ferry
THE ARTSTYLE LOOKED SO FUCKING GOOD
odd monolith
it could just be that this is my first jojo chapter I'm reading on release day, but that was so awesome. it encapsulated jojo, it's almost like the perfect answer to 'What's jojo like"
tidal ocean
Thank you..? lol
real ferry
Yeah
minor ore
a lot of shits boutta go down fam
real ferry
Norisuke will die in 48 hours
odd monolith
The stand has got to be Tooru, and he's protecting Head Doctor.. Calling it!
also @real ferry I am so goddamn confused about that, so hype to find out why.
it's gotta be one of those thoth things where "he LOOKED dead..."
odd monolith
hey
no I know
I mean like
when we get there
I don't think he'll be dead, and the flash forward was making him look dead
like jotaro in thoth's book
real ferry
That's also possible
You know why
The origami
It could've been used to sneak him in
It might also be used for other stuff
analog ether
Why does the bottom image put Joshu front in center
Do something Arakiiiii pleaseeee
odd monolith
but would paper moon make the reader of the comic see him as dead, or is it because tsurugi wanted him to look dead to himself for some reason?
wait is the origami hopping from tsurugi or norisuke?
real ferry
Reminder that beta Joshu was a hulk
Out of Norisuke
And we saw Ojiro seeing Tsurugi and Jobin die
odd monolith
joshu had the brenden frasier hairdo
real ferry
After he touched PMK
odd monolith
true..
real ferry
I dunno I just heard it once
odd monolith
the cacti being the branch too
or joshu rather
jobin sorry
joshu's always on my mind
odd monolith
someone on reddit just said Tooru/Satoru
real ferry
They're theorizing like we do
odd monolith
No, I know, just thought that was a good catch
real ferry
Yeah the design on it definitely matches Tooru's
odd monolith
just made this quick, and it's super similar
the red is where I see the "spiral/squiggle" pattern
real ferry
The yellow is def a massive hint
odd monolith
dat teddy bear tho
real ferry
Teddy bear?
odd monolith
hybrid pawn
Gyro?
real ferry
And super glued his teddy bears; old and new one, to his jacket
hybrid pawn
I was thinking the same thing@real ferry
odd monolith
is there a role to get pinged when a chapter goes up?
hybrid pawn
real ferry
minor ore
new emote
also who got a link to the reddit page
so it looks like tsurugi still has a new ability, we assume tooru has his own stand and the HD has this own stand
tsurugis is honestly like KC, with how ojiro randomly ended up ontop of that tree, or how the baby fell into the fountain without the mom realizing
odd monolith
@minor ore I think it's possible via her current skill, but you're right, especially with the narrator talking about powers awakening.
Araki is foreshadowing some requiem shit
inb4 stands can fuse
analog ether
her
pastel adder
kind sun
The ambushing stand is similar to bites the dust right
And its user by a rock human
And thats a queen reference
Im gonna be disapointed if its name isnt Rock You
viscid mountain
If we got "I am a rock" as a stand name it's not a hard stretch from the imagination

You fell for one of the classic blunders

@brittle blade my mind is full of fuck
viscid mountain
Damm jojo Fandom getting the 200 iq treatment
rancid aurora
jojo crack head theories always seem the most plausible 🤔
unborn merlin
Frick now I really want the above to happen
minor ore
Now that's one hell of a crackpot theory
unborn merlin
Wait hang on someone on the jojo subreddit came up with a better theory
that the trigger for the pursuit stand isn't the intent to pursue but rather the phrase "89 years old"
analog ether
This kinda shit is the reason you should catch up to JoJolion
viscid mountain
You think that when part 8 ends Araki if going to start doing a lot of Mamezuku ovas?
unborn merlin
Maybe he can guest star in the next Thus Spoke Rohan
hybrid pawn
I believe he's going to stop
It's been a long time he has done jojo for quite a while now
Maybe he's done.
analog ether
A part of me thinks that.
But another part of me thinks that araki is a manga obsessed mad man who will never truly stop
Although Part 8 is probably the last part, reallistically
viscid mountain
Araki has already tried to end jojo on part 6 and move on but then realized he wanted to do more. So if he still has ideas he wants to explore or characters to write we still could have a part 9
minor ore
as long as he still got those creative juices flowing in him we’ll get more jojo
but if he feels like he’s hit a wall then it might be gg
hybrid pawn
Yeah but does he?
viscid mountain
So if you want more jojo write more Wikipedia pages
minor ore
he gets a lot of inspiration from just about anything tbh
that part of writing manga must be the best
just taking in the things around you and that you’ve learned into your story
taking trips to places and getting inspired must feel kinda awesome
viscid mountain
And also meeting the persons you admire and getting you'r artwork on museums so araki must be happy with his work
minor ore
we need araki meeting snoop dogg for the culture
minor ore
i wonder if artists ever learn of their influence or references in jojo
minus the dead ones ofc
real ferry
@burnt pagoda Different time stamps
viscid mountain
Most of the artist that inspire jojo are dead but the fashion designers must really know about jojo
inner gust
@viscid mountain plenty of them are alive
he gives a whole list of em in jojo a GOGO
Although any itallian artist he is inspired by is dead lol

Gappy is the only jojo to have a on screen love interest since part 1 (jotaro x ocean doesn't count)
viscid mountain
@minor ore Joseph pretty much just showed up and said "hey I'm married did you know?" and jolyne only when she became Irene so I don't know if I'll count that
kind owlBOT
@viscid mountain, Your Stand Power is now level 6 !
fading cove
i feel jolyne would have got married if everyone didnt die
but like pretty sad to see jotaro's body rotting away in the background
as jolyne sends emporio away
viscid mountain
Anasui tried his best
fallen trellis
It's funny how Josuke and Yasuho have known each other for more chapters than any JoJo/love interest combo but they haven't actually done anything
The only indication we've had that they're supposed to like each other is the heart illustration from early in the part
viscid mountain
@fallen trellis this time araki understand that punching an asshole and burning your house doesn't make girls instantly want you between her legs maybe is because this time he is married
hushed rover
@viscid mountain Yasuho will get together with the chad Joshu at the end of Part 8
You know it
viscid mountain
I mean can you blame her?
hushed rover
That was simply an intricate mating method from Joshu. He was never going to rape her.
fading cove
i wonder what the memes about joshu will be
hushed rover
Of course, someone who isn't in the church of Joshu wouldn't understand the ways of our lord
hushed rover
@fading cove >most of the community doesn't read the manga
fading cove
dont count this server
if your on a jojo discord talking about jojo you would likely read it
i mean the smaller servers im on
i tell people "theres 3 other great parts to read!"
and they say something like
"i have to much manga to read"
or
"i dont read moon rune comics"
i try
viscid mountain
Joshu wasn't going to rape jasuho he only show her his bolts underwear to assert dominance
fading cove
people who dont read steel ball run
i want these memes
but
that will have to wait till
2024???? maybe
hushed rover
one of my friends started jojo by reading part 3, 5, and 7
hushed rover
Nah, I'd say most of them drop it in the middle of part 1
fading cove
no
hushed rover
I have to warn anyone who starts the series to bear with part 1 for a while
fading cove
part 3 drags
it even drags in the anime
and the stands
in the first half

hushed rover
i get the issues people have with the part's pacing, but I don't see how most of the stand fights in that part are bad too
hushed rover
compared to other parts, absolutely.
But it pretty much elevated the whole mindgame aspect of JoJo
viscid mountain
Yes but simple not always means bad
viscid lintel
Simple is usually never bad
fading cove
and the fact that jotaro doesnt smile in the anime is bad
fading cove
after they get to Egypt it gets way better
i was talking pre egypt
because thats when most people drop it
hushed rover
Silver Chariot is actually way less simple then those other stands with his whole armor trick and all
Too bad PolPol barely uses it
hushed rover
Hierophant also pulled off some cool tricks
viscid mountain
Polnareff has the best fights on part 3
fading cove
like getting small
left iris
imo part 3s anime drags on for so long theres like no reason to watch it
hushed rover
i think part 3's anime felt really long because of all the anime original scenes
the manga's pacing was way better
left iris
...unless u find ndouls backstory interesting or u like seeing the world in episode 8
fading cove
no
left iris
its also bc they restrict themselves to like
fading cove
manga doesnt have the picture scene
and its the best scene
every time jotaro looks back at that picture
left iris
story arcs have to be 1 to 3 episodes long, and two story arcs cant coexist in the same episode
hushed rover
Like the sun episode. It's longer than the actual arc because they showed an entire scene of Joseph getting the car
left iris
in the part 5 anime for instance the white album fight ends at like 10 mins into the second episode im pretty sure
yeah
its just so theres ~20 minutes of the sun and ONLY the sun
hushed rover
And I think Joseph teaching the group to ride camels was extended
fading cove
i think it was a learning process for sure
left iris
i like part 3 a lot but the animes only better than the manga for like. not a lot of things
fallen trellis
I watched part 1 for the first time recently and I loved it
hushed rover
Other then the longer pacing and Jotaro being more stoic, I didn't have too many problems with it
brittle blade
when was jotaro smiling in the manga where he didn't in the anime?
fading cove
part 1 manga DRAGS
fallen trellis
I don't know why it gets such a bad rap
brittle blade
i never read the part 3 manga
left iris
mostly more feeling during your first experience w the part (see: voices and soundtrack) but good god they shouldnt have done 20-60 minutes per arc
hushed rover
I think they should've combined the Alessi and Mariah fights into the same episodes like part 4 did with cheap trick and superfly
since those fights occur at the same time
fading cove
^
left iris
jotaro also smiles in the anime but i do believe its either wheel of fortune or oingo being disguised as jotaro
not sure which one it is but its one of those two for sure
ive seen a pic of anime jotaro smiling a lot of times so ya
viscid mountain
@hushed rover it would feel really rushed seeing two stand fights at the same time since evwry fight needs you learning a new hability and how they are going to efeat it
hushed rover
Part 4 anime handled that well with the july 23rd arc though
fading cove
to see young joseph again
left iris
july 15 iirc
hushed rover
Oh yeah it was the 15th
left iris
eh im still not sure if thats the way it shouldve been handled
how long are the alessi and mariah fights in the manga
also should we take this to another channel
viscid mountain
Yup
fading cove
also love how pol comes back in part 5
no one questions this guys experience because we know what he went through
hushed rover
@left iris oh damn i thought we were in #jojo-overall-discussion all this time lol
forest rock
To those caught up with JoJolion, does it look like we are approaching the end?
waxen token
we probably have a few years left
hushed rover
Araki literally just told me he will cancel it after this chapter
Source: I am his nephew
viscid mountain
We still have 48 hours till the rokakaka fruit harvest so I'd say we have at least a good 3 years till someone can finally eat the spiky fruit
hushed rover
3 fuckin years
No way
I was thinking the fruit harvest would happen around next year
Then again, it took a long ass time for Guts to get off the boat in Berserk too
THEN AGAIN, Araki is consistent with his schedule
Unless JoJolion does a hunterxhunter and goes on indefinite hiatus
viscid mountain
Well just have in mind that the clock only advances on gappy halters or end of secondary arcs so the clock almost always just moves every 2 chapters and sometimes we get a flashback or a final destination view of the future
hushed rover
i still doubt it would take three years for all of that
but who knows
it does seem like jojolion is at the beginning of the end though
same with berserk
viscid mountain
I think the final arc will begin once the rokakaka is harvested and then Joseph joestar crashes a plane out of nowhere killing the main antagonist
minor ore
and akefu's stand is OP
minor ore
she's 'pursing' akefu and she doesn't know how his stand works
so uh
oh
and rai and josuke are gonna go to bloody jail
hushed rover
Worst case scenario: Josuke finds Yasuho dying and she confesses her love to him before succumbing to her wounds
minor ore
best case scenario; it's just tooru and yasuho kills tooru
hushed rover
No best case scenario is Josuke delivers a 15 page beatdown of Tooru with rock shards flying everywhere
minor ore
when will we get the bastard that's fucked up that everyone hates and then they get a long ass beatdown
like steely dan and cioc
and teronosuke
hushed rover
it's definitely going to be tooru
minor ore
actually
the worst case scenario is akefu donutting rai infront of josuke
sure yasuho dying is bad
but rai would be even worse
hushed rover
Rai has the look of someone who would get donutted tbh
unborn merlin
I like Rai, but I would much rather see him die than Yasuho
kind owlBOT
@unborn merlin, Your Stand Power is now level 4 !
hushed rover
I'm still waiting for that stand that literally turns people into donuts to make the donut meme go full circle
minor ore
best case scenario is jobin trying to fight akefu on a train but then getting his torso split from his legs
hushed rover
How's the final arc gonna play out?
Will it end up being a civil war amongst the Higashikatas?
minor ore
jobin gets Shovel Requiem and kills all enemies with it by smashing their faces in with the shovel
JOSUKE8
i confused jobin and josuke
unborn merlin
I’m not even sure if we’re near the finale yet, frankly. We still have no idea what’s up with Caato and Kyo
minor ore
imagine if kaato is the steely dan/cioccolata of the part instead of tooru
josuke just flips the table with the cards on them and then starts delivering a 15 page beatdown
unborn merlin
Nah, clearly the Steely Dan/Cioccolata of this part is Joshu
viscid comet
I just finished the 1st chapter of part 8 and it's so
B I Z A R R E
and kind of boring compared to other parts
I hope it gets better, or maybe I should read it once Araki finishes it

We're close to the end right guys
viscid comet
Looks like I'm done with JoJo, then
minor ore
@viscid comet it’s really good trust
the fights are a lot different but great and the characters are really good just underutilized if that makes sense
worth catching up to the newest chapter
minor ore
it’s also filled with waifus so look out for that lmao
icy bluff
“not NSFW” yeah about that...
late nexus
Josuke almost banged a 16 year old girl. That's pretty NSFW 🤔
icy bluff
I was going to mention the apartment fight at the beginning.
upper knoll
I have lost a bit of motivation for reading Jojolion now that I ran out of coloured chapters
tidal ocean
damn
kind owlBOT
@tidal ocean, Your Stand Power is now level 22 !

Oh Josuke didnt bang a 16 year old girl, it was the other way around
Also it was rape
so even more nsfw

Jobin will be 40 this year
minor ore
Tsurugi will be 19
stark fossil
The main villain wouldn't doughnut someone with a fist
The target would be doughnutted by something falling on their stomach
Like a loaf of bread
I guess I'm assuming the head doctor is the main villain....
minor ore
Jobin is 32
And the head doctor doesn't even have what Rai and Josuke want
How the fuck do you people think that guy who was introduced couple chapters ago with 0 backstory or any character development so far is the main villain
stark fossil
I'm not even sure there is a main villain
minor ore
Because he's the big boss of the entire organization that they've been fighting since chapter 5 or something
Are you even paying attention?
supple totem
i hope that the head docter doesnt want to sell the fruit for money
just because of money
minor ore
That's not likely
Every rock human believed the rokakaka was the secret to their salvation

New chapter today

:joshusip: Late news
:joshusiiiiip:
Fuck I can't stop gushing about how clean the new chapter is
The silverware
The s i l v e r w a r e
Looked so tight
And all the Higashikatas

What?

And Norisuke looking as dad as ever
minor ore
Is it out?
minor ore
FUCK
minor ore
i got spoiled on three chapters in a row
real ferry
Absolute madman
violet coral
Just read the new chapter and things are getting interesting
||we finally understand how the head doctor's stand works, and seeing Gappy get deja vu from looking at ojiro was a nice touch|| @real ferry
patent parrot
Chapters are getting shorter but more action packed, which means ( i hope ) the end arc is getting closer
violet coral
I'm guessing we have around 15-20 chaps left
patent parrot
Also Araki better have a good reason for that flashforward to 13 minutes before the harvest
minor ore
anyone wanna take a swing at who might die
violet coral
Hopefully not yasuho
tidal ocean
||Rokakaka was the friends we made all along||
violet coral
I think Gappy will die in a sacrifice to save Holly, my prediction
minor ore
if yasuho dies

PP might guide her out

So uh, I'm still just a bit confused about the head doctors stand
So everytime you have the thought of pursuing him, it attacks and throws things into you. Then amplifies the damage done to you?
Right?
minor ore
It's like BTD
heavy grove
If that's the stand, than how did he teleport in the hospital
And how is he moving so fast
analog ether
I think he just...is
supple totem
it just works
minor ore
Remember when some brainlets thought that stand was tooru's?
supple totem
mayby it's Toorus
heavy grove
I do wonder what toorus stand will be though
analog ether
inb4 it is
minor ore
Because it revolves directly around him
supple totem
sorry im in a bad mood today
heavy grove
Rai and josuke say multiple times how it's the head doctors stand
minor ore
Imagine having a stand specifically dedicated to protecting someone else
heavy grove
And tooru isnt a rock human, he doesnt have any reason to work with the head doctor
minor ore
The stand protects the HD, not tooru
supple totem
Mayby it protects both
analog ether
Having a stand that protects other people would be pretty non-villanous
heavy grove
Tooru I think is working against josuke and rai, but not with the HD
minor ore
Not just others, a SPECIFIC person
heavy grove
Like a 3rd party
analog ether
So if it was Toru's, then they'd have to kill him, since having him around would potentially make whoever Toru teems with broken
heavy grove
It would make sense if tooru was still around them, like he was at the hospital
But hes nowhere near them this chapter
Araki would've pointed it out
analog ether
Tbf, they did say that the trigger for the stand had been flipped AT the hosptial, and that it's still affectingt them now
minor ore
No
It was incorrect
They figured out that it only activates when you want to find the HD
analog ether
They figure out that BECAUSE the switch is still flipped from back during the hosptial encounter
heavy grove
Guys what if the head doctor is working with tsurugi
That's how he teleported and moved so fast
It was an illusion
minor ore
HD is probably corrupting tsurugi
minor ore
He has nothing to blackmail him with
He's trying to corrupt him so he can get the neoroka
patent parrot
The only way to turn the "switch" is to stop pursuing the HD, right?
minor ore
Tooru works for HD, dunno if they're closer than that but HD definitely told tooru to distract yasuho since she's the biggest threat to his real identity
And yeah, you can turn off the switch by not pursuing him
minor ore
Like BTD sorta
minor ore
If HD is the vanilla ice fight then 4K is the true villain
heavy grove
Yeah
Cant wait for the 10 page ora rush
Its gonna happen guys believe me
Araki told me the entire jojolion story
heavy grove
Including who the main villain is
heavy grove
Nonono
minor ore
I don't even know why araki made them chase nothing
heavy grove
It's all true
Look
The main villain
Is
Iwasuke
Hes a dog
In jojo that's been alive ever since he was revealed
minor ore
Damo was the manager of a small branch of the organization, sort of a capo
HD is the one in charge of everyone, like the boss
Iwasuke looks like a hyena
heavy grove
I just reread the chapter, wheres the second ora rush?
minor ore
Well atleast wiki finally gave HD an actual page
and not put him under "minor characters"
heavy grove
Speaking of the wiki
Ik it's not 100% true all the time
But it says that the pursuing stand is the HD's
odd monolith
,smug Rai is big mood
minor ore
I think it was confirmed it's his stand?
kind owlBOT
@minor ore, Your Stand Power is now level 21 !

@heavy grove

why send it twice
