jojolion

[vocal mason]

I like how in the middle of trying to find the head doctor, Josuke gets jealous of Tooru

[young meteor]

He shouldn't check the messages

[balmy crypt]

That's a fucking chonky ass lion

I also think the main villain will be Jobin or The Head Doctor

[young meteor]

Probably Head Doctor

But not Jobin

[vocal mason]

Jobin would kind of be a weak main villain

he's definetly one of the villains

[minor ore]

Hes a diego

[winter adder]

Iwasuke ate the rokakaka without a sacrifice

Akefu is a really funny villain, he has a monocle and mustache that he can’t really twirl but still

[wild wave]

Head Doctor is a Diego

Jobin is the main attraction

[young meteor]

[vocal mason]

Iwasuke is the dog right

it looked like he had the rock disease so maybe the trade off was becoming a rock animal

[winter adder]

That seems more like a plus to me
Now he has the ability to seep through walls

[vocal mason]

yeah but Rock beings have to sleep for a whole season

[winter adder]

Hmm

[vocal mason]

and can't reproduce with something of a similar make up

at least I'm assuming Rock animals follow the same rules as rock humans

also the colored translations call him Rocky and I think that's cute

[winter adder]

Can’t rock humans reproduce with people to make more non-rock people
And that would make sense and could even explain how rock people exist in the first place, woah

[vocal mason]

I think Rock humans can't reproduce with regular humans

but I might be wrong

[winter adder]

One infographic says they can I think
Another one says that the two are incompatible, but that’s on the topic of their relationships

[vocal mason]

yeah that is

I'm reading the wiki entry

Rock Humans also rarely fall in love with normal humans, but if they do, there's a 97.5% chance it will end in disaster. The breakups between humans and Rock Humans are said to end in someone's murder.[1]

from the wiki entry on Rock humans

[winter adder]

D:

I believe the line was “They give birth to humans”
And that page says “Give birth much like humans”
I’m inclined to believe that the first one was translation mistake or just a mistake on my part

Poor Aisho, man

[vocal mason]

very easily could be a translation error

those have caused confusion before

yeah for a couple of them you feel for them

Aisho and Dolemite mainly

[winter adder]

Which is even more strange because Dolemite is categorized as a rock animal and that can’t be a translation error because there’s a little graphic of him along with the other rock animals, maybe it’s more of a title

[vocal mason]

its confirmed that he used to be human

maybe it's because he more or less lives as an animal

[winter adder]

Ouch

this fuckin manga I swear

[near cedar]

Great

[night moon]

jojolion might be the only thing ive ever read where you could put literally anything in the dialouge bubbles and id believe it

[near cedar]

Thinking about it a bit. You are not wrong I agree xD

[plush plank]

@night moon I've never heard it put quite that way yet that sums up the feeling I get from reading it so well

[winter adder]

I saw a weird blog post about Iwasuke and the meme panel of Josuke asking Tsurugi about his dad’s asshole was in it

I don’t think the guy knew because the post was otherwise serious and straight forward ( kind of ?)

Kind of crazy

[night urchin]

No weird jojolion moment will ever top when Yasuho figures out Joshu wasn’t Josuke in the paper moon deception arc because he didn’t have 4 balls

[minor ore]

why does giorno have a lion

wtf is hamon

[winter adder]

He’s got tha nuts though

Is that how it happens. ):

[upper knoll]

giorno aint even in part 8

bro dont mindlessly shitpost!

[winter adder]

• gears gnashing together *

One of Jobin’s bullies had his funny hair swirls gweeheehee

[night urchin]

When people are predicting the future of Jojolion, I alway get this thought nagging at me that people might be underestimating Yasuho's role. I think she's going to be incredibly important.

The themes of Jojolion have implied that Josuke is going to stop identifying as Josefumi or Kira and instead as his own person, Josuke Higashikata. I think part of that is going to be to let go of Holly at some point.

However, while Kira and Josefumi had ties to the rokakaka and the higashikatas, Yasuho only entered Josuke's life after his rebirth. She's the part of his life that is entirely Josuke's and not Josefumi's or Kira's.

[kind sphinx]

depends on how these next few chapters go lol

[night urchin]

I mean, it might end with Josuke deciding that Yasuho is the person he should save over Holly or something

[tawny mist]

Didnt he just give a whole speech about saving holly no matter what

[lost slate]

because it's proof of his existence/humanity

[night urchin]

I mean, he wants to, yeah, I'm just saying it'd be thematic for him to mournfully let her die at the end

[molten thicket]

no chapter this month
sad

[queen fox]

you just learned or?

[lost slate]

next chapter better be good

[torn shoal]

@smanta

@Willem Janssen#8062

[winter adder]

[vocal mason]

I have a small question

how did Josuke get his lamborghini into a tree

[white beacon]

Maybe through Doggystyle's strings? Or S/W's bubbles

[vocal mason]

true

could have taken the weight from the car

[winter adder]

Despite its C in strength, Soft & Wet is the fucking strong haha

[near cedar]

I AM THE FUCKING STRONG!

[noble haven]

true its the fucking strong

Its really ironic because Soft & Wet (which is a C in strength) could punch walls like Crazy Diamond (which is an A in strength)

Lets hope the C means something in its ability

Like Whitesnake's C in speed which is actually the speed of the Melt Your Heart ability

the acid

[near cedar]

Actually I think it was a D for Melt Your Heart

[noble haven]

Really

Shit i always forget

Anyways point still stands

@young meteor Norisuke

[young meteor]

Ah

Best father

[noble haven]

Indeed

although he's an asshole to joshu sometimes

[noble haven]

its still excusable cuz joshu is an asshole anyways

but

maybe he became an asshole cuz of his dad

[near cedar]

Or he is just a dumbass

[noble haven]

@young meteor he looks the same cuz josefumi is the counterpart of Josuke

Josefumi is Josuke Requiem

[young meteor]

Their hair looks slightly different in the manga/anime (Josuke), but yeah I get it

[vocal mason]

Norisuke is a good father and a goofy dude

Joshu is just an asshat

[noble haven]

What if

Joshu was affected by his mother

he didnt see her much but children can be affected a lot when they are young

[vocal mason]

Joshu didnt even remember Caato

Only Hato and Johin do

[white beacon]

Norisuke isn't that much of a father that actually teaches his kids to be better

Heck, he just spoils joshu

Joshu asking for cash for an idol concert and merch and his dad's like "seems sketchy but here's 10 grand"

[noble haven]

@vocal mason Yeah but like children dont remember a lot of stuff but it affected them

it has a term

subconscious or something

[vocal mason]

Good point

[noble haven]

Like i dont remember my mother from age 1 to 3 but i was affected a lot by her lol

[vocal mason]

Also what happened to Caato she just kinda despawned from the story

[white beacon]

Probably staying in some house or something

She's from prison, she can take care of herself

[noble haven]

Lmaoo i love how the people at the prison when giving her her stuff said that they really liked her

when she was there

[white beacon]

They want her to get arrested again

It's like nurse joy saying "we hope to see you again"

[ocean mirage]

I hope she dies

[white beacon]

She probs will, based on previous experiences with stand users and how she's set up

[toxic narwhal]

Maybe she will be the villain

[kind owl]

@toxic narwhal, Your Stand Power is now level 6 !

[young meteor]

She's the villain though

[white beacon]

We're not actually even sure if she is a villain

[toxic narwhal]

Well, i think she has some involvement in jobin's plan

[white beacon]

She's on Jobin's side for now but like, she could stop jobin

From destroying everything

[noble haven]

lol she is nowhere near the villain

[toxic narwhal]

Well, she could be

[noble haven]

doubt

[toxic narwhal]

Just a possibility

We still need to confirm the head doctor

Jobin is the main suspect though

[young meteor]

There's a theory that says she could be the main villain

[white beacon]

All we've seen her do is summon a chair after being assaulted by joshu(which is bad) and side with jobin cuz he's her son

Oh wait, she also killed that kid but like, you know

Motherly things for her kid

[toxic narwhal]

Ah yes, the chair
What does her stand do again?

[young meteor]

It's like hide things inside the cards (?)

[white beacon]

Apparently for now, a deck of cards that can store something like a chair

[young meteor]

I remember she hid her phone inside the cards too

[toxic narwhal]

I am now very curious as to why she would carry a chair around

[white beacon]

Maybe she carries a lot of things around but just, the chair had the luck to accidentally slip out

[noble haven]

isnt the locacaca not ripe yet

[toxic narwhal]

Yes

But im assuming it could still grow in a card

[noble haven]

hmm

[white beacon]

Nah, it'd need sunlight or stuff

[toxic narwhal]

Yeah, guess youre right

[vocal mason]

Is it Rokakaka or Locacaca

[young meteor]

Locacaca

Rokakaka is how its pronounced in Japanese

[grizzled pilot]

rokakaka is the translation we used for a while before we knew

[noble haven]

the anime man, who is fluent at japanese and english, says Locacaca

but tbh i would've thought he would say the japanese pronunciation of the word

[grizzled pilot]

they're both correct romanizations of the word but "locacaca" is the intended one

[vocal mason]

When Anime Man did the binge Jojo challenge and he pulled out every single japanese volume I was like "hol up"

[noble haven]

oh yeah he read the originial japanese volumes

I wonder if he's still going on with JJL

[vocal mason]

I didnt realize he was fluent

[noble haven]

he said that he read the parts at some point when he was young

but not part 8

[vocal mason]

Hmm

[white beacon]

Would you say that the name Rokakaka/Locacaca comes from the art style/movement Rococo?

Or am I stretching it a bit?

[vocal mason]

I have no idea what that is

So I dont know

[grizzled pilot]

its possible

araki's got a lot of weird references like that

tho it's a little more out there

[noble haven]

Man fuck mitsuba

i was loving her until the new chapter

[vocal mason]

Time to dip

[grizzled pilot]

but, if it's not a copyrighted name then i think he'd have just used it

lol

[vocal mason]

I'm on chapter 91

Almost there

[minor ore]

Day 4👌 😩

[upper knoll]

Aight bro the joke 's not hip anymore

[toxic narwhal]

Suddently i feel a severe lack of lions in jojolion

[lyric vale]

wait did I miss day 3

cause I feel like today is 3

[toxic narwhal]

Nah, three was yesterday

I saw that one

[winter adder]

I don’t think I saw a single phantom in Part One

There weren’t even ten endencies in Two

[toxic narwhal]

You saw blood didnt you?

[tawny mist]

There was blood

And do vampires not count as phantoms

[lyric vale]

phantoms mean ghost

[toxic narwhal]

Pretty sure there were battles in part 2

[tawny mist]

Part 8 has neither jojo or lions

Scam

[young meteor]

JoJoLion

Not scam

[toxic narwhal]

What the hell is up with that name

[lyric vale]

what if jojo is not jojo but jojo

[toxic narwhal]

Jojolion

[lucid fiber]

It's not lion it's -lion

[toxic narwhal]

It feels so different from previous parts names

[lucid fiber]

Like Pygmalion or Evangelion

[winter adder]

But there weren’t endencies, no lions, no endencies

[lucid fiber]

Joseph had a tendency towards battle

[toxic narwhal]

He had a tendency towards running you mean

[lyric vale]

[lucid fiber]

Well sure but you can't run from a battle without getting in one first

That's just silly

[lyric vale]

[lucid fiber]

You have to pick a fight and then book

[minor ore]

Ik

We know

Everyone knows

[tame tide]

apparently not since we've had this discussion so many times

[tawny mist]

Jokes

What are jokes

[lucid fiber]

Things the people here are bad at selling

[near cedar]

I didn't know that

I didn't research tho

[untold otter]

fuck yasuho

[winter adder]

Araki is like

[night moon]

yasuho is great i love her

araki doesnt tho :(

[untold otter]

tbh i think shes gonna die

idk if this is how but

i feel like jobin might kill her somehow and drive gappy to kill him

[minor ore]

Are you a believer that jobin is the main villian?

[untold otter]

nah

i think its head doctor

[minor ore]

Finally a sane person

[untold otter]

but i think its gonna be like diego with the world/ valentine type of thing

like head doctor is main villain but jobin is gonna come right before or after

[night moon]

jobin is kinda on a spree so i could see him killing yasuho

he isnt main villain material tho

[untold otter]

i agree

[winter adder]

Then Kaato comes out of nowhere after literally sitting on her ass for chapters on end

[night moon]

[untold otter]

i think shes gonna be another araki forgot but who know

[night moon]

nah shes too important for that

[minor ore]

You say it like theres a long list of "araki forgots"

[untold otter]

i dont think she has enough development to be a huge factor to the end game

i dont think theres a long list but its certainly happened

[near cedar]

Name them

[minor ore]

Araki hasnt forgotten about kaato

Shes even referenced to in chapter 94

[night moon]

when i refer to an "araki forgot" i usually mean something that seemed like it was going to be a plot point originally but was never used again to its full potential

[near cedar]

That's what the people who use that unironically refer to sometimes too

[untold otter]

i didnt say shes not a part of the story at all im just saying i dont think shes gonna have a huge impact to the end. i agree with u stephanie

[near cedar]

They are mostly wrong

[night moon]

thanks dillon

[minor ore]

The plot points people claim as araki forgot are 96% false

[untold otter]

btw i heard newest chapter is on hiatus is that true?

[near cedar]

Such as Giorni in p6

Yes it is

[minor ore]

Yes

[untold otter]

😦

[minor ore]

95 comes next month

[night moon]

its march yeah

[minor ore]

Can i just go off topic and mention that d4c took possibly 2 years from the start of the train fight to the end of the part?

[night moon]

that would probably be better in the sbr chat but yeah

[near cedar]

You mean it took that long to come out?

[minor ore]

Yes

[near cedar]

Holy shit

Didn't know that

[minor ore]

Sbr chat is dead steph

[untold otter]

i didnt start reading until jojolion was on the late 80's so idk but im sure that was brutal for those reading at the time

[kind owl]

@untold otter, Your Stand Power is now level 3 !

[minor ore]

15 chapters + ball breaker + break my heart + high voltage + stars and stripes

[night moon]

the actual D4C arc runs from late 2008 to july 2010

[minor ore]

So yeah

2 years

For d4c alone

[near cedar]

As long as it results in good quality

[night moon]

also can i just say the actual volume names of sbr slap

[near cedar]

But the wait will SUCK

[night moon]

like not just the chapter names

but shit like "Conditions for the Body, Conditions for Friendship"

or "Illinois Skyline, Michigan Lakeline"

[untold otter]

i swear when i was reading sbr i was so hooked that i read the second half in one sitting

[night moon]

"A Little Grave on the Wide, Wide Prairie"

these sound like classic fucking cowboy movies and i love it

[minor ore]

The hype in d4c and ball breaker to break my heart break your heart mustve been hype as fuck to wait to

[untold otter]

my friend has full sbr set but its in jap 😢 \

[night moon]

i have most of sbr

[untold otter]

the box art is so flame

[minor ore]

Imagine how it wouldve felt if you read the chapter where valentine says "Youre next, Johnny Joestar"

Hype

As

Ffffffuck

[night moon]

missing 7, 8, 16, and some others

[untold otter]

🔥

[upper knoll]

Monthly waits do kill the hype a bit

[night moon]

but yeah goddamn when you have the physical volumes and you get to the end of one of the chapters it gets so tense

[minor ore]

A bit sure yeah

But still

I wanna see how it wouldve felt to read that line and await the next chapter

[untold otter]

are there volumes with official english translations?

[noble haven]

Damn i wanna get the chapters but it's expensive

Also i cant decide what i want to buy

[untold otter]

i read on mangadex

[minor ore]

You have 1-3 in "official" english

[upper knoll]

Official translation is on part 4 now

[night moon]

most recent volume i bought was "Make the Golden Rectangle!"

[untold otter]

thats what i thought

[minor ore]

The official ones use localized names tho

So

[night moon]

also volume 1-3 are not in english idk where ur getting that bon

[upper knoll]

And it takes 3 months for 17 chapters to get translated

[noble haven]

There was like a book fair at a place near me which has the original physical copies of jojo but like these are only part 1-3

[upper knoll]

So yeah youre not getting SBR in official english anytime soon

[minor ore]

Honestly

[untold otter]

well the fan translations are just fine i just wish i could get physical copies in english

[night moon]

bonfire where are you getting the physical english versions lol?

[minor ore]

Im not

[untold otter]

i think he meant parts 1-3

[minor ore]

I was just informed

[noble haven]

1-3 are in english

the volumes

[night moon]

ohhh

[upper knoll]

The official translations are somewhere around Rohan fight now

[night moon]

yeah i have the most recent translated one

it ends at the end of shigetchi's arc

the first one

[minor ore]

I wonder if they will change heavens door to heavens gate even tho thats duwang exclusive

[night moon]

it's heaven's door in the translated one

i literally own this so i know

[noble haven]

Lol they passed the heaven door arc

They are at the shigechi arc

damn

Volume 5 comes out may 5th

Shit im gonna have my exams in ramadan

[night moon]

they have 6 chapters each

[noble haven]

Im gonna be fasting while taking exams

[minor ore]

I would gladly read the official ones

However

I do NOT want to see the shitty localized names

[noble haven]

My friend told me that each volume is 200 egp each

[untold otter]

one localized name i never understood was echoes. like i know its probably derived from some classic rock band but you would think its a vauge enough name to leave it

[noble haven]

Which is considered like really expensive just for 1 volume here

[night moon]

the next DiU volume is going to be all kira

[noble haven]

I can understand 1 book being 200 egp

but just 1 volume??

[upper knoll]

Its around 400 pages per volume

[minor ore]

I want to see

Crazy Diamond

[night moon]

i got the newest hardcover one for 15 bucks new on ebay

[noble haven]

You wont bro

You will see

Shining Diamond

[minor ore]

Not ShInInG dIaMoNd

[upper knoll]

Craze on you, Shining Diamond 🥴

[noble haven]

Just read the manga online bro

[minor ore]

I know huss

Thats the problem

[noble haven]

Hmmmm I heard that there is a way to print the manga scanlantions

but it takes a while

[night moon]

its nice to have the actual volumes doe

the most recent one i got came last night and it's Stone Ocean vol 12

[minor ore]

I would do that

But

Colors look so nice

[untold otter]

i agree

btw

[noble haven]

Rip bon

Damn steph

You're like

real jojo fan bro

I think you can buy the colored manga

[night moon]

its all birthday and christmas money lol

[noble haven]

but in japanese of course

[minor ore]

Guess the only way to actually get the real deal is by learning japanese

[night moon]

my family is massive and when each of my aunts and uncles sends me 20 dollars for birthday/christmas i usually end up getting like 300 dollars

[upper knoll]

Ok tbh I dunno if they can fit two kira arcs next english volume

[untold otter]

idk when u guys started reading but was the transition between colored to black and white difficult for anyone? for me it was pretty seamless but i know a few ppl that had a hard time w it

[upper knoll]

They might stop halfway through sheer heart attack

[noble haven]

Black and white JJL is great

[night moon]

yeah i have jjl volumes 1-6 and 13 + 22 and theyre great

[untold otter]

yea but the fan coloring is soooooo good

[noble haven]

its not fan coloring

its shueisha

[night moon]

its fan translation

[noble haven]

yea

[minor ore]

Ngl huss you could use a new gyro pfp

[untold otter]

jojos coloring adventure is who colored in it the version i read i believe

[upper knoll]

Have you seen some of the panels in black and white though

Like wooooooow https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/570347967324749844/673657469729374228/4b562e5a92d94dabf8d31fe0395f9e87.png

[untold otter]

ok that is fucking fire

[upper knoll]

Completely different vibe in b&w and colored tbh

[night moon]

that looks way better on paper

[errant prairie]

How can a human hand draw that ?

[night moon]

ill send pics when i get home

[untold otter]

also gappy redesign panel looks so fucking sick

[minor ore]

@errant prairie araki

Is

Not

A

Human

Definitely not

[night moon]

someone @ me in like 6 hours and get me to send pics

[minor ore]

Have you seen the fucker age?

[upper knoll]

I'm gonna be sleeeping by then 😔

[errant prairie]

60

[night moon]

rip

[minor ore]

He hasnt changed since the 1960s

[night moon]

ok bye now!

[upper knoll]

Also hes got a month of time to draw stuff

Sometimes he takes a monthly break too so thats even more time

Hes a good artist and since he doesnt have to publish a chapter every week, he can take some time to draw better

[minor ore]

Im pretty sure jyg is just impressed by the insane amount of detail

[upper knoll]

Still I remember panels where for example Valentine's hair is not as well detailed, just because its not as important, he can focus on other stuff

[upper knoll]

Like, the drawing of them isnt finished

[untold otter]

reading this got me mad fucking hype

[minor ore]

Hmm

[untold otter]

chap 92 was prob my fav jojolion chapter

[minor ore]

Josuke got fucked up by that guard

[noble haven]

I need to see this

Colored

[untold otter]

this chapter cover omg

[minor ore]

You know

I have this false hope

That soft and wet will become crazy diamond

[untold otter]

this is a p good colored pic

[minor ore]

Uh

Not really

[untold otter]

its not too far fetched to think that he might get another stand

[noble haven]

Josuke's skin color is

Meh

but for the most part it looks good

[vocal mason]

yooo

[minor ore]

This false hope is cause y know

[vocal mason]

Tsurugi is getting the rock disease

[noble haven]

It looks like it came from a marvel comic though

[minor ore]

Gappy wants to BE josuke higashikata

[untold otter]

yea das tru

[vocal mason]

@noble haven that's what I thought it looked like a really muted marvel comic

[minor ore]

And crazy diamond was in a jjl chapter

[untold otter]

give this man king crimson 😎

[minor ore]

As a street drawing sure

But still

[noble haven]

come on now

that looks like it came from marvel

[minor ore]

Josuke has crazy diamond, so if this josuke also got one it would 100% be my favorite jojo part

[untold otter]

use crazy diamond to heal tsurguri

[vocal mason]

An old stand might come back

I mean killer queen did this part already

but Araki could make a part 4 stand return for a villain

[noble haven]

bon is this in ur top 3?

[minor ore]

Like what

[vocal mason]

idk man

The Hand

[noble haven]

top 3 parts

[minor ore]

My top parts are 7 8 and 4

[vocal mason]

Satoru's stand kind of looks like the hand already

[untold otter]

^

[kind owl]

@untold otter, Your Stand Power is now level 4 !

[noble haven]

same man

[minor ore]

How

[noble haven]

but tbh 4 over 8 for now

[umbral cairn]

I know it'd go against his development but I'd love to see josuke use killer queen

[noble haven]

because 8 isnt finished

[minor ore]

That stand looks very different

[untold otter]

5 is up there too

[vocal mason]

in the face it does

[untold otter]

i prob prefer 5 to 4 tbh

[minor ore]

Not for me dillian the hacker

[untold otter]

im not a hacker!

and its dillon!

[minor ore]

Since gappy's story is him accepting his new identity

As josuke

I would orgasm if soft and wet became crazy diamond

[untold otter]

p 9 will be about johnnys grandson joseph 😎

[minor ore]

Joseph is already dead

[vocal mason]

as far as we know the joestars lived normally up until part 8 in this timeline

[untold otter]

ohhh right the timeline

[vocal mason]

other than johnny of course

[untold otter]

i remember

[noble haven]

how would soft and wet become crazy diamond

[vocal mason]

it can't lol

[minor ore]

It cant

But since every fucker is guessing an evolution

By guess is crazy diamondo

[vocal mason]

Soft & Wet Requiem

[minor ore]

Since you know

Josukes stand is crazy diamond

And gappy is accepting himself as josuke

[vocal mason]

so do we know definitive rules on The Head Doctor's stand

is it only automatic

[minor ore]

We only know its automatic

[vocal mason]

because I'm on Ch. 91 and he's attacking mitsuba

[minor ore]

Its ability has 3 different explanations

[vocal mason]

but she isn't trying to pursue him

[untold otter]

i believe so it cannot be directly pursued is all i know

[vocal mason]

she's just wondering what tf he's doing on her property

[minor ore]

In chapter 94 she says who sees his back gets misfortune

[vocal mason]

ah ok

minor spoiler but it helps me understand more

[untold otter]

ok g2g goodbye everyone it was nice discussing with all of you!

[minor ore]

I thiught you caught on

[vocal mason]

One thing I noticed that kind of stopped that I liked

very small nitpick

but Josuke's habit of measuring things

he stopped doing it about halfway through

[wild wave]

Didn’t he do some measuring in Ozone Baby?

[vocal mason]

maybe

its been a minute

Araki out here making me cry

he has the audacity

[tame tide]

that chapter went so hard

[minor ore]

[night urchin]

This whole arc has gone hard

Honestly, the Head Doctor is probably my favorite main villain reveal. Cause it's so nonchalant and you don't even see his face for a while

It feels like the characters just stumbled into something beyond their comprehension

[pine palm]

Gappy if u want to be Josuke

U gotta get pissed if someone disses your hair

[night urchin]

We can't even see his hair, it's that perfect

[pine palm]

Oof

[wet peak]

https://tenor.com/view/jojo-joshu-slippery-man-slippery-soft-and-wet-gif-14346728

[tawny mist]

He's going to take the hat off when shit gets real

And we're going to see what his hair looks like for the first time

[young meteor]

He might take his hat off in the end of jjl

[white beacon]

He takes his hat off during like, norisuke's funeral or whatever

[young meteor]

I hope Norisuke is fine

[tawny mist]

I dont like the idea of gappy getting crazy diamond

It just fixes all the problems by itself

If he had it

[lost slate]

don't think he will

it doesn't make sense for that to happen

[night urchin]

Did anyone see aeonstar's coronation theory

[lost slate]

yep

[night urchin]

I think he might actually be right about that

[lost slate]

which is just as unlikely

i'm not too sure

[night urchin]

About him being inspired by those songs, I mean

[lost slate]

i'm not sure if he's going to get a powerup

would be pretty cool if he did

[sweet temple]

Ikr

[white beacon]

It'd be nice if he didn't get a power up and jobin got one, it's a parallel to josuke/kira fight

[crude axle]

the head doctor seems main villian like but who knows

[lost slate]

what if it's hd that gets the powerup

[crude axle]

it kinda sucks the next chapter isn't coming out until march 19

[white beacon]

Jobin fuses with the Head Doctor 😳

[lost slate]

and all josuke has is some bubbles

[crude axle]

his bubbles are powerful

his power stat should be at least a B

[sweet temple]

No new one this month?

[lost slate]

powerful enough to beat the hd?

[crude axle]

yeah it's on hitatus

[lost slate]

no new chapter this month

[sweet temple]

F

[white beacon]

Josuke's pretty super hyper focused right now, after holly's death he's gone full serious mode

[crude axle]

holly died?

[lost slate]

maybe

she's unconscious atleast

[crude axle]

i read all of part 8 but i didn't see holly die

[kind owl]

@crude axle, Your Stand Power is now level 1 !

[white beacon]

Oh wait I thought she did

Whatever

[lost slate]

when she became unconscious

[white beacon]

After holly helped him

[lost slate]

in the hospital

[crude axle]

who's your favorite character in part 8 so far

[white beacon]

He went full serious "nothing's holding me back"

I like yotsuyu, he had a nice style

[crude axle]

My fav character is the johoe Yasuho Hirose

[lost slate]

possibly yasuho

[tame tide]

i like jobin a lot

[sweet temple]

Yasuho yessss

[lost slate]

she's very reliable

[sweet temple]

Indeed

A lot of cultured about this part I see

[lost slate]

or maybe norisuke

i mean he has the best quotes

[sweet temple]

Surely has some to it

[crude axle]

my favorite character for each part is
part 1 - speedwagon | part 2 - Jospeh Joestar | part 3, 4, and 6 - Jotaro Kujo | Part 5 - Guido Mista | Part 7 - Gyro Zeppeili | Part 8 - Yasuho Hirose

[sweet temple]

A person of culture indeed

Tho I take a different approach on Jotaro due to on how many parts he appeared in

[tawny mist]

your stand is like your asshole, you don't just go around showing it to everyone

[crude axle]

i can't wait for animated part 6 Jotaro

more than the other characters

[tawny mist]

that one norisuke quote is probably my favorite in the series

[crude axle]

part 6 has to be my 2nd least favorite part after part 1

oh yeah that one

it was funny

[night urchin]

@crude axle I really like Yasuho, too. I'm getting really interested in how she ties into the story. She seems like a sort of second main character, but she doesn't have much connection to the plot. Actually, I think that's almost the point of her.

You think she's gonna get a stand evolution, like the other hirose?

[tawny mist]

she's josuke's only real friend

[crude axle]

I mean I consider and most others also consider that she's the jobro (or in this case johoe)

[simple kraken]

Josuke's also her only real friend if I recall correctly

[crude axle]

yeah

[kind owl]

@crude axle, Your Stand Power is now level 4 !

[white beacon]

But then here comes Tooru walking along yasuho's tippu toes while josuke gets hospitalized or something

[night urchin]

But also, this is a new universe jobro, so she's got more in common with gyro than she does okuyasu

[crude axle]

her ex-bf?

[night urchin]

Yeah fuck that guy

[crude axle]

he;s a wacko

[night urchin]

SPEAKING OF WHICH

[crude axle]

he has to be one of the antags

[night urchin]

There is a

Nearly 2 day gap

Between her asking him to take her to the higashikatas

And her arriving there

[crude axle]

i hope araki doesn't kill of the jo-hoe of part 8

Yasuho

Dangerous Pursuit is gonna be an 8 to 12 chapter arc on god

[minor ore]

What are those little candies Yasuho gives to Gappy at the beginning of JoJolion that when he eats them they spurt everywhere.

also can I talk about how delicious the parfait looks

[tame tide]

they're sesame honey dumplings

[night moon]

hey

if anyone is still awake from the convo today

i can take some pics of my physical volumes

[minor ore]

Thank you very much Val

[vocal mason]

man Mitsuba is a BITCH

[old marlin]

Ghat shit actually does look good

[tawny mist]

its supposed to be world famous or something isn't it

[vocal mason]

japan famous at least

[minor ore]

black dude stealing jobin's locacaca plant

how many stereotypes does araki put on them

[old marlin]

Let's not make jokes like that alright

[minor ore]

okay

[old marlin]

Ty

[white beacon]

He's not even black, he's tanned

Like, actually tanned, he's a surfer and was paler when josuke first met him

[vital lava]

Did a new chapter get updated yet

[tawny mist]

its on hiatus till march

[old marlin]

Nope

[tawny mist]

so no

[old marlin]

Yeah

[wild wave]

We’re halfway through

[lost slate]

one month to go

before yasuho dies

[young meteor]

No

[lost slate]

yes

yasuho will die and josuke, enraged, attacks the hd, thereby avoiding his stand ability

[old marlin]

Imagine if she actually died

[lost slate]

kind of like josuke vs rohan in p4

(that's my theory)

[old marlin]

Not a bad work around

It's like head empty fighting

No thoughts

Weird how we have 2 explanations of his stand ability, its either when you think about going after him or when you look at his back

If the trigger is looking at his back and the activation is thinking about going after him ig that could fuse those 2 explanations

Oh also theres no way Yasuho dies, shes the one telling the story

[young meteor]

She just needs the fruit

@old marlin btw congrats on your promotion!

[old marlin]

Ty

[noble haven]

I dont think she dies anyways lol

Im still with the theory that she's alive because she says the story at the beginning

[tawny mist]

I just dont want her to die

[near cedar]

Scum

[vocal mason]

I just caught up with it and fuck dude

Mitsuba I thought you were cool

[old marlin]

Sucks that she sided with her husband and not some girl she met a few times

[young meteor]

I thought she sided with Josuke

[old marlin]

In the hospital she was really on saving her own skin, she hadn't picked a side at that point

[vocal mason]

She literally said "Yasuho is on our side, she saved me at the hospital" and then was like "nah fuck this girl lol"

[tawny mist]

Her seeing the head doctor made her freak out i guess

Still not cool mistuba

[vocal mason]

If Yasuho actually dies I can fully see Josuke killing Jobin if he finds out who did it

[ocean mirage]

Out of all the character to kill and advance the plot, why is it yasuho

[white beacon]

She's closest to gappy's emotional existence

Aside from holly, who fell ill and once gappy knew her intentions, he went full on serious mode

So yasuho facing distress can very highly give gsppy the same drive, even more

[ocean mirage]

Isn’t he already very high strung, seeing holly like that?

[tawny mist]

Yasuho is the only part of josuke's life that is unique to josuke

And not to josefumi or kira

[vocal mason]

and y'know

he loves her

[young meteor]

But does she love him back?

[vocal mason]

yes

[white beacon]

She's sorting that out okay

[vocal mason]

they just don't wanna admit it

[white beacon]

Tooru's making her confused

[vocal mason]

there's the two chapter covers where they have each other in their hearts

which is adorable

[upper knoll]

Its a really nice detail

[noble haven]

araki really added "c-cup"

[vocal mason]

Jojolion has some of the best chapter covers

@noble haven he also has her waist and ass size

[noble haven]

lmaooo

wild

[vocal mason]

I really want Josuke's ass measurements

that man got some fuckin cake

[young meteor]

It's very detailed, even the for the lotion she used

[white beacon]

If you can notice, josuke has a heart next to yasuho's icon, for josuke's icon it's just his face

[vocal mason]

the icon is still pointing to her heart

[white beacon]

So by that time, they have each other in their hearts, but only josuke has feelings of love

[young meteor]

So i think Yasuho only see him as friend

[vocal mason]

Yasuho does cry when she sees him after paper moon king

whichever arc they meet in the park

[old marlin]

Still cant believe Jousuke had the stiffy uh

[white beacon]

That's what I meant by yasuho still sorting out how she feels about gappy, cuz tooru's tryna cuck

[vocal mason]

fuckin Tooru

[young meteor]

Everything was fine until the ex-boyfriend showed up

[grizzled pilot]

i thought it was weird that they had yasuho's measurements but they also included josuke's 2x2 balls, gap teeth, and the fly

so its basically ok i think

[noble haven]

the fly?

[grizzled pilot]

everybody gangsta until the ex start talking

[noble haven]

also smiley you're absolutely right josuke has some cake

[young meteor]

The fly on his hat

[noble haven]

Lmaoooo there really is a fly

[old marlin]

Everybody Gangsta till the EX starts implanting false memories

[white beacon]

Tooru touchin yasuho's hand and she's like 😳 😳

[noble haven]

everybody gangsta till the ex starts saying

[vocal mason]

bro you're at work

get back to washing TB towels

[old marlin]

I remember everyone was HEATED when Tooru first got introduced

[white beacon]

Bro someone's dyin cuz you ain't nursin

[noble haven]

why

[old marlin]

Like full white knighting Yasuho lmao

[noble haven]

to be fair

people are still heated

[vocal mason]

I want Josuke and Yasuho to have a happy ending

[noble haven]

josuke himself is heated

at tooru

[old marlin]

Like "ANOTHER ANTAGONITS????"

[minor ore]

Im fine with tooru and yasuho

[white beacon]

I was hella hopin tooru to be a good guy when he first came up

[noble haven]

every day

new emote

[grizzled pilot]

theyre just cool exes now

[vocal mason]

there were two Rokakaka fruits on that plant Jobin just saying

you can fix yasuho too

[grizzled pilot]

(...maybe)

[vocal mason]

you bitch

[noble haven]

I was hella hopin tooru to be a good guy when he first came up
well maybe he might not be a bad guy

[vocal mason]

he's not bad

it's just a love triangle now

[noble haven]

but tbh he is sus af

[young meteor]

He just seems suspicious

[vocal mason]

he shows Yasuho Satoru's face

[noble haven]

trying to get back to yasuho at a time like this

You know he might be showing satoru's face because he's confident they wont be able to get to him

Also him working for the head doctor is even more sus

I am sus of everyone who works for him or in the hospital

[vocal mason]

I feel like the only people The Head Doctor would trust with protecting his secrets are Rock Humans

[noble haven]

who says tooru isnt a rock human

[young meteor]

Imagine when you about to catch your enemy and then your crush ex-bf distract you

[vocal mason]

he works normal hours and also goes to school

Rock people can't do that

[noble haven]

Hmmm

good point

[old marlin]

@grizzled pilot I Like Todo's False Memories theory

[young meteor]

Still unknown if he's a rock human or not

[grizzled pilot]

agree i think its plausible

[vocal mason]

the rock humans at the hospital are specialists and I'm assuming take month long vacations once a year

Tooru also knew yasuho in high school

and it's been said that rock humans can't go to school, at least in a traditional way of schooling

[fluid vessel]

[dense badger]

My brother @neat trail said this was a good place to ask. Since part 8 is like 9 years old now I’m just curious if Araki releases chaps, or if he’s given up on the series or if he’s like on hiatus or something...

[tawny mist]

no it still has monthly releases

aside from the one month he takes off a year

which is usually and currently February

[upper knoll]

He still likes the series and he doesnt have any problems, he wont give the series up

[distant jasper]

i Giorno Giovanna have a dream

[vocal mason]

Part 8 is currently on hiatus until March 19th @dense badger but other than that it's still going strong

Although things are slowly getting close to wrapping up

[dense badger]

I see thanks

[minor ore]

@distant jasper did you have to spam that in every channel?

[spark frigate]

he did

[astral cargo]

His dream was to spam in every channel like a cringe-ass baby

[vocal mason]

Cringe ass Nae nae baby

[minor ore]

Why isn't Jojo weekly anymore?

[kind owl]

@minor ore, Your Stand Power is now level 2 !

[grizzled pilot]

switched magazines

[minor ore]

this part has dragged on and on

[tawny mist]

because weekly chapters make the writing suffer

and araki is a lot older than he used to be

[minor ore]

so would that count for sbr when theres 15 d4c chapters?

that it was dragging on?

[tawny mist]

the monthly parts also aren't stand user of the week fights anymore

I have no clue what that is from but that character is based

[grizzled pilot]

kamome is an absolute king

[minor ore]

stands became story tools when p6 ended

[grizzled pilot]

from Medaka Box, which also ran in weekly shounen jump. highly recommend

(..after the first 20 or so chapters, that is)

[tawny mist]

also don't take this as me saying jojo was bad when it was weekly

I love all the parts

[grizzled pilot]

for sure

[tawny mist]

it just makes sense for it to be a monthly release now

[grizzled pilot]

but i think that most current readers agree that the monthly schedule fits SBR and JJL much better

[tawny mist]

I can also understand the desire for chapters to come out sooner

but I don't want them if the quality is going to suffer

[lyric harness]

I 100% agree with this

[noble haven]

for me DiU is the only part in weekly that was better than a part that's monthly (JJL)

and not only that, JJL might take that spot once it's finished for me

But monthly releases really improved JoJo

the artstyle became better

better writing

better story and characters imo

[brave sentinel]

Its also made araki more horny

[noble haven]

Indeed

but that is a trait

not a flaw

imo

[brave sentinel]

I agree

[noble haven]

araki embraces the horniness

[brave sentinel]

[minor ore]

[young meteor]

[crude axle]

[old marlin]

I see

[rare hare]

did 95 come out

if not whats taking it so long

or do we have to wait another month

[tame tide]

hiatus this month

[lost slate]

sadly

[rare hare]

how

how

we already have to wait a month

now another month

[lost slate]

the next chapter needs more time in the oven

so it can be fully developed

[exotic spade]

One month and no JoJo for two more

The wait is killing me

[young meteor]

One more month

Don't worry

[exotic spade]

Not until april

Two months

[young meteor]

Huh? Two months?

[night moon]

it's march lol

[exotic spade]

I thought it was april

It says April issue but it also says March 19th

Japan is dumb

[night moon]

[white beacon]

That's just how it works I guess

[minor ore]

The rock humans need the Locacaca (or Rokakaka) plant so they can decrease their symptoms of being a rock shapeshifter, right?

[mental vessel]

Yes thats why johnny need it

[narrow kraken]

does jojolion have anything to do with entering giant robots

[exotic spade]

Yes

[mental vessel]

And fucking bettle figths

[narrow kraken]

should I read it or wait the like year until it finishes

i hear its allegedly almost over

[mental vessel]

Jojolion is a mix of part 4 and 5 with some wierd shit sprinkled in

Honestly i stoped reading in chapter 90

Its on like chapter 93 rn i think

Or 94

[white beacon]

For those afflicted with a body-wide rock disease, the rokakaka can transfer it to someone else

For those afflicted with a concentrated rock disease, like arm or leg, the rokakaka can change the afflicted part

[lucid fiber]

That's not a Japan thing that's a magazine thing

The April issue releasing in March thing I mean

[minor ore]

Kira died

And he was the only reason I liked JJL

Sooooo...

[young meteor]

But he's already dead before jjl event started

[lucid fiber]

What a weird complaint

[tame tide]

did you not think he was going to die??

[minor ore]

Didn’t expect the whole damn atmosphere to die with him.

[lucid fiber]

pfffffff

[winter adder]

Did Josuke steal Kira’s identity? They’re literally two different people, it’s not like he’s a perfect Steve Universe Dragon Ball fusion or something

[white beacon]

Josuke took no one's identity

Essentially, he doesn't even exist within the realm of public knowledge

[winter adder]

That’s true
But he also tells himself that he’s Yoshikage Kira every few chapters kind of
And Kira’s mom has no idea that the man she’s talking to isn’t her son(?)

[white beacon]

I think he just says he's kira yoshikage cuz he doesn't know anyone related to josefumi

So he uses kira as an anchor towards holly, which helps add to his own identity

[winter adder]

Hm

I see

[white beacon]

But he hasn't stolen kira's, he recognizes that he isn't all kira, but he still identifies as holly's son, partially

He's in a weird state of knowing who he is, choosing who he is, and finding out who he will become

[upper knoll]

Kiras death was great
I'll keep on praising vitamin c and killer queen arc

[vocal mason]

Is that panel from when Josuke finds out they moved Holly to a shitty hospital room

[supple totem]

yeap

[supple totem]

i got a question. I get that the first headocter arks name is a refrence to the song ''the wonder of you''

but then it says ''(your miraculous love)''

is that also a refrence to something?

or just non copyrighted name for the wonder of you?

[quartz loom]

It could he that it has two names

There are arks that have two names

[noble haven]

it's actually the miracle of your life

love*

https://youtu.be/h_uvBGrJSCE

Closest I can find

[night moon]

hey tiny tiny little theory

you know the king pattern in jojolion?

well The Wonder of You has the lyrics "You touch my hand and I'm a king"

[noble haven]

Nice lyrics

[night moon]

i mean the song fucking slaps

but it also could be forshadowing gappy getting a king stand

[noble haven]

lol no

gappy getting king stand is kind of a bullshit theory if I'm honest

I don't see soft and wet turning into a new stand

[night moon]

i think he will

[noble haven]

shit unless it's a ger plot twist

[night moon]

its the final piece of him joining the higashikata family

[noble haven]

ion think there's anything

Yeah well I don't think he gives a shit about the Higashikata family

if anything he cares more about the Joestar-Kira bloodline

[night moon]

i think he will have the chance to get it

but hes gonna reject it

in favor of the J-K bloodline

[noble haven]

But I guess you can say his Higashikata side is his own side

like the Josuke one

[winter adder]

Then the Josefumi side triumphs over all, the Kujos always win baby!

[noble haven]

man it'd be one fucking plot twist if one of the Higashikatas is somehow related to the Joestars or Kujos

Weeeeeelll Rina is married to a Joestar

Best panel

[young meteor]

They're look adorable

[noble haven]

This family tree man

Even more fucked up than the main universe one

I'm telling you guys

Yoshiteru Kira is did

sus*

Wait not Yoshiteru

Josefumi's father

he is hella sus

We probably won't get anything about him

But we need to know how he has the Joestar mark

Josefumi and Kira both have the Joestar mark, yet they're unrelated

[young meteor]

I feel like Josefumi is related to the Joestar

[noble haven]

He is

He has a Joestar mark

He's 100% related

Not only that

[young meteor]

Wait didn't know about this

[noble haven]

Yeah

I think he has an ancestor that's a Joestar

is very close

like his grandpa or something

[young meteor]

I found the Joestar family tree (idk if that was real or not), it shown that Josefumi's mother was Joseph illegitimate daughter

[noble haven]

There is no confirmation about that but it's a good theory

But wait

I don't think Josefumi's mother is a Joestar

as she doesn't have a Joestar mark

It is shown that every single Joestar

by blood obviously

has a Joestar mark

even the non special ones like George, Holy, etc.

[young meteor]

Maybe she have (?) but never shown

[noble haven]

She was on the beach and I think her back was shown

there was no Joestar mark

[minor ore]

she doesent have a mark

she did have divorce papers tho

[noble haven]

I think the community agrees that the Joestar mark was from Josefumi's father

it makes the most sense

but what doesn't is

the relation

What if it's a Joseph illegitimate son counterpart

Lol

[young meteor]

So, it could be possible that Josefumi's father is Joseph illegitimate son

[minor ore]

i mean

[young meteor]

Owait, she doesn't have it

Nvm

[minor ore]

alt versions of characters do have similar stories

[noble haven]

That is a good theory Historia

[minor ore]

josefumi might as well have the same as josuke (not saying josefumi is josephs son)

[noble haven]

He could be Holy's half brother

Man fucking fate

Josefumi and Kira are both Joestars

and they somehow met when they were both kids

Wait was Josefumi even a stand user

[winter adder]

I’m my own distant relative(?)

[noble haven]

when he was a kid

[young meteor]

Uhh, don't know

[noble haven]

if so then it would make sense the stand user attraction

[minor ore]

they didnt meet as kids

kira was a teen i believe when he first saw josefumi

which is when he was a child

[noble haven]

Yeah well I consider Kira a kid still

he was probably

14 or 13

That's a teenager but like still a kid

[minor ore]

still teen years compared to josefumi

[winter adder]

They’re a decade apart

[noble haven]

Of course

[minor ore]

wasnt kira like 29 before he died?

[noble haven]

Guys, laugh

He changed Sadao to Kakyoin

[young meteor]

What?

[minor ore]

sadao kujo is jotaros dad

[noble haven]

Get it Historia?

[young meteor]

I know, but I mean

[noble haven]

cause Kakyoin epic milf hunter!!!

[young meteor]

Who changed that?

[noble haven]

Wait he didn't change Sadao

[winter adder]

Some jokester .

[noble haven]

he just added Kakyoin next to holy
