[drowsy fog]

[minor ore]

CHAD

[vocal mason]

FUCK TOORU

[azure canopy]

JOHNNY REVIVAL CONFIRMED

[vocal mason]

ALL MY HOMIES HATE TOORU

[ocean mirage]

the first time we see josuke in a while and he was already ora ora

[rain drum]

I'm looking forward to some villain stand monologue

[queen fox]

Araki forgot about Yasuho

[hard meteor]

damn i cant believe josuke cucked his own gf

[kind sphinx]

I've said this entire time that HD's Stand is like a reverse Love Train, it creates negative things and sends them towards people, and him using the term "Spin" makes this more sus

And we've never heard Tooru's last name, right

[azure canopy]

Love Train?

[hard meteor]

atleast joshus helping her

[azure canopy]

more like

Crazy Train

[kind sphinx]

Exactly my point

[ocean mirage]

joshu gonna have to protect his family

[noble haven]

Tooru Zeppeli

[kind sphinx]

I'd say the opposite of Love is Insanity

[analog ether]

@kind sphinx Bro did you steal my homework cus these are literally all my theories lmao

[azure canopy]

I swear to god Joshu is gonna get killed in like 2 seconds

[kind sphinx]

Or crazy

[minor ore]

JOSHU REDEMPTION ARC LET'S FUCKIG GO

[azure canopy]

I called it

[minor ore]

tooru valentine

[ocean mirage]

tooru vs. joshu HYPE

[queen fox]

Tooru isn't a zeppeli and will never be a zeppeli

[noble haven]

How

Maybe he is

[rain drum]

That's a smart ass automatic stand tho

[white beacon]

Ticket To Ride also creates negative things and sends them towards people

[noble haven]

On da drip

[queen fox]

wait

[hard meteor]

Hd is basically just evolved d4c

[queen fox]

remember how Tooru talked about waves that one chapter?

[azure canopy]

we have to take into account, there was no Dio in this part

how is there a jojo part

[bright hedge]

my headcanon because tooru has a matador like design is that the stand is called bulls on parade

[silver edge]

Joshu is actually the main jojo confirmed?

[azure canopy]

with no dio??????????

[bright hedge]

simply because i love that song lol

[noble haven]

Dododo De Dadada

[white beacon]

Because dio overrated

[minor ore]

so whats joshu's plan

[lost slate]

yoooo that chapter was really good

[azure canopy]

fair enough

[ocean mirage]

joshu kills the bad guy and get the girl

that's his goal

[minor ore]

Joshu vs Tooru hype

[white beacon]

Araki gettin tired of this dio kid

[azure canopy]

though I'm STILL waiting for explanations on the wall eyes and Johnny's death

and this kid arriving at the beach

and all that

[minor ore]

tooru might kill joshu

[noble haven]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v2GDbEmjGE

[queen fox]

the kid is Tooru

[lost slate]

joshu stans rise up

[bright hedge]

wait what even was the name of the chapter, endless calamity part x?

[azure canopy]

I HOPE Araki doesn't forget

4

[silver edge]

4

[kind owl]

@silver edge, Your Gangstar Rank is now level 2 !

[noble haven]

tooru might kill joshu
I hope he does he would be based and redpilled

[bright hedge]

nice thanks

[queen fox]

Araki legit named a bug giberish

[minor ore]

The kid being Tooru, the thing about " home". I reckon final battle at wall eyes

[white beacon]

I'd shift to tooru stanning if thst happens

[ocean mirage]

joshu puts yasuho's arm back on because he can do that

think about it

[azure canopy]

yooooo @minor ore

u rite

battle at the meditation spot?

[ocean mirage]

woah final battle where josuke first appeared?

[bright hedge]

imagine the 2nd body that was "dead" was actually tooru

[azure canopy]

maybe some holy sh*t happens there

[minor ore]

so why didnt HD enter the room?

[ocean mirage]

josuke coming back underground?

[lost slate]

de do do do de da da da>>>>>>> doremifasolati do

[azure canopy]

because Josuke started filling the room with bubbles I guess

and bubble=danger

[white beacon]

But can you ride d8 like a tank?

[white beacon]

Doremi far superior

[lost slate]

d8

lol

[bright hedge]

d8 ahaha

[rain drum]

The bubbles had something that affected the HD

[minor ore]

doraemon is the best

[bright hedge]

d8p (simply because its by the police)

[queen fox]

Gappy still owes someone in shakedown road, and who came with him?? Joshu

[kind sphinx]

bubble pops
"I took the calamity from this room"

[azure canopy]

the HD is allergic to wetness?

[queen fox]

the last fight is at shakedown road confirmed

[azure canopy]

@kind sphinx b r u h

he can steal the bad luck from himself lol

[analog ether]

fucking rock bug

[minor ore]

yes he does

[azure canopy]

I swear to god if Josuke pulls up the spin

[ocean mirage]

is the bug part of the bamboo mat

[kind sphinx]

Soft & Wet could be the most broken Stand ever, but Araki has never used it as such

[ocean mirage]

or wooden mat thing

[queen fox]

when is Gappy going to murder someone again?

[lost slate]

next chapter

[ocean mirage]

the next time we see him

[queen fox]

hope he puts a dent into tooru along side Joshu

Joshu gonna build a chair with his corpse

[ocean mirage]

i wanna see joshu puts a hole thru tooru

dio style

[hard meteor]

joshus gonna handle tooru rai and josuke are gonna fuck with his stand

[rain drum]

Joshu gonna disassemble the calamity

[lost slate]

and all the other higashikatas watch

[hard meteor]

they already called it bluff its only a matter of time till shit gets real

[sharp bone]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v2GDbEmjGE

fuck this name

[queen fox]

Yasuho is gonna kiss Joshu on the cheek

[bright hedge]

D8P @sharp bone

[analog ether]

imagine

[ocean mirage]

yasuho is BANGING JOSHU

[queen fox]

dude, early JJL is weird af

[analog ether]

smh yasuhoe

[sharp bone]

dude all of jojolion is weird

[queen fox]

Late JJL is weird af too but different

[sharp bone]

[ocean mirage]

Tooru theory #jojolion

Twitter

[queen fox]

part 8 better than part 7

[noble haven]

i still prefer 7 over 8

[tame tide]

can you tldr that

[noble haven]

no i didnt read it

it has iron man 3 spoilers

[queen fox]

yes please

[noble haven]

cba

[sharp bone]

lol

iron man 3 is so old

it was an ok movie

[queen fox]

so HD is a real person

in this theory

becuase Tooru has no motive

[sharp bone]

hd is a real person yes

he has a history at the hospital

which is why its so weird

[queen fox]

Tooru is the baby

he's been using the stand for years if true

[noble haven]

Wtf is no one noticing that there are 2 huss

[lost slate]

My theory is that HD is a real person, but he's fused with a stand

[kind sphinx]

how do we know HD ever really existed if it could so easily go from a physical to Stand form

[sharp bone]

who cares

[kind owl]

@sharp bone, Your Gangstar Rank is now level 4 !

[sharp bone]

lol

[rain drum]

He brought up the lab tho

[sharp bone]

its just life

[hard meteor]

hd isnt real

[noble haven]

Ok joseph pfp

[hard meteor]

or if he was he was replaced by the stand

[queen fox]

the manga literally said it's a stand multiple times, it's pretty much confirmed he isn't real

[tame tide]

tooru better get a better motivation or something soon

[lost slate]

But then how would he talk?

[rain drum]

That's a really smart stand if it can go as far as filling the roles of a person

[noble haven]

a talking stand

[queen fox]

Tooru uses his smart phone

also Baby face...

[hard meteor]

same way diavolo talks through king crimson

[queen fox]

Baby face talks

[noble haven]

Whitesnake

[minor ore]

Tooru might as well just want to become famous thanks to the rokakaka

[queen fox]

HD was never real to begin with

[rain drum]

I didnt feel it was Tooru talking tho

[lost slate]

;Yeah

It really feels like the Head Doctor

[gilded stream]

just finished 98 and now i have more questions

[rain drum]

I know it's his cus he felt it

[queen fox]

you know people can put personas to fit a different personality?

[rain drum]

But it's like the stand behaves on its own

[bright hedge]

i love how the stand is still somewhat physical, like when we walks up to the pillar and bonks into it and theres a clang sound

[rain drum]

Like beyond a simple automatic stand

[analog ether]

Anyway, all I really want to say is that Joshu is gonna save Yasuho, therefore completely redeeming him. Therefore making the Joshu fanbase 100% right and canon. Honestly, I can just stop reading here (i wont) everything that needed to be seen was seen. Gg, Joshufuckers

[lost slate]

^

[queen fox]

Babyface is the best example for seeing the HD

[lost slate]

joshuchads

[hard meteor]

it could just be a whitesnake situation where the stand has its own sentience that reflects the user theres not one doubt in my mind it belongs to tooru

[bleak skiff]

THAT CHAPTER

[left iris]

that tooru theory is from 2 months ago and it starts with "tooru isnt a bad guy you guys are wrong but let me make up something that supports your bad theory about tooru being an antagonist" when like, the next chapter after it was tweeted basically confirmed toorus a bad guy

[bright hedge]

can someone make fanart of tooru and the head doctor doing the giorno and gold experience pose please and thanks 😂

[ocean mirage]

i like the last scene of jojolion

[rain drum]

Oh yes ik it's toorus cus he felt it being in the lab

[ocean mirage]

it's over

[bleak skiff]

And Joshu is getting his redemption!

[queen fox]

Tooru's main drive is to get the New Rokakaka

been the drive since Ozone

[wicked mist]

is it already release?

okay

[bleak skiff]

Yep! It's been out for about half an hour

[kind owl]

@bleak skiff, Your Gangstar Rank is now level 6 !

[wicked mist]

thanks

[analog ether]

The main story is actually over, everything from here on out is just an epilogue like World of Stars and Stripes

[ocean mirage]

it's over folks let's GO HOME

[lost slate]

just stuff about joshu after jjl

[ocean mirage]

also what's with the stand saying going home?

[gilded stream]

I dig the popsicle stick monster though

[lost slate]

he inherited the family business as jobin and norisuke both sadly died

and starts the matsutake mushroom hunting tour

[ocean mirage]

dang

[bright hedge]

this with tooru and the head doctor please

or this

[ocean mirage]

what can he see if he stand up?

[kind sphinx]

THE WONDER OF YOU IS ALREADY INSIDE YOUR EYE

THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE SEEING

[queen fox]

Tooru controls the HD similar to how Babyface is controlled

[lost slate]

It's totally something to do with waves

That seems to be a kinda recurring thing throughout JJL

[queen fox]

also Tooru being the baby will be a huge thing

[gilded stream]

crazy train > the wonder of you

[burnt quiver]

jeaton with the bad takes

[queen fox]

I forgot where crazy train came from

[burnt quiver]

anyway this chapter was WAY too short

[queen fox]

40 pages

short

[minor ore]

37 pages

[burnt quiver]

yes

[minor ore]

its enough

[burnt quiver]

not to me

[kind sphinx]

show, don't tell

[bleak skiff]

Well some of the pages were double

[queen fox]

^^

it's more like 50 pages

[bleak skiff]

I really hope tooru doesn't kill Joshu...

[burnt quiver]

i was hoping that we'd get more progression

[hard meteor]

it was short but it was sweet

[ember light]

Yo i just read the new chapter and are we getting a Joshua redemption arc?!!???!?

[bleak skiff]

Joshua

[queen fox]

we got a lot of progress??

[ember light]

Joshua

[minor ore]

we didnr get any progression?

[burnt quiver]

the fightt only just started

[simple kraken]

JOSHU REDEMPTION

[lost slate]

JOSHUCHADS RISE UP

[minor ore]

so?

[rain drum]

I like where things are going

[ember light]

Rise up Joshu stans

[burnt quiver]

god yall are so defensive im just talking about how i felt ab this chapter

[analog ether]

Rising

[rain drum]

I wanna hear the motives

[hard meteor]

WE RISIN

[minor ore]

bruh

[burnt quiver]

every other month was just banger after banger this one just didnt do it for me

[rain drum]

Waiting for that beautiful villain monologue

[burnt quiver]

i wanted more to happen thats all

[analog ether]

I liked this considerably more than last months tbh

[bleak skiff]

Fuck tooru, he's going to hurt Joshi isn't he :(

[minor ore]

what did you expect?HD and jousuke to arm wrestle?

[bleak skiff]

JOSHI

[analog ether]

Mostly because I'm still waiting for the results of what happened in that chapter to actually, like, take effect

[rain drum]

Considering joshu knows little about it probably

[analog ether]

Basically, I WANNA know who's fucking dead

[ember light]

I felt like this one was really good but just not too much happened I guess but I probably just feel like that because we waited a month

[simple kraken]

this chapter might not have had too much happen but it's the beginning of the joshu redemption, and josuke was a total badass here

[ember light]

Amen brother

[minor ore]

jousuke is giving me giorno vibes

[bright hedge]

so do we reckon that the HD doing the presentation is also the stand or just an actual old guy?

[rain drum]

Buy the HD is currently distracted

[minor ore]

he is so damn calm

[bleak skiff]

Imagine Yoshi but with Joshu's hair

[analog ether]

I'm literally at a point of "haha brrrrr" with this chapter and I don't even care

[rain drum]

So who knows

[analog ether]

haha joshu and bug insect

[bleak skiff]

tooru is killing everyone >:(

[ember light]

I might reread JJL in this next month just because

[hard meteor]

tooru going a long philosphocal rant about how he was the mystery baby and why the new rokakaka will make his better while joshu just unscrews his head calling it now

[burnt quiver]

@minor ore bro lol

[rain drum]

lmao

[burnt quiver]

im just saying i didnt like this chapter as much as prior ones

[bleak skiff]

That's ok

[queen fox]

Yasuho will call him out

[burnt quiver]

its not like im condemning the series lol

[young meteor]

Tooru do be vibin'

[rain drum]

"shut up you bastard!" unscrews head

[minor ore]

i really liked it.HD turning into wonder of you was one of my favourite moments

[lost slate]

throws it at tooru

[bleak skiff]

And then screws it back

[young meteor]

Joshu will kill Tooru. I'm pretty sure.

[lost slate]

yeah

[bleak skiff]

I hope so

[burnt quiver]

ok ok heres how i think about it

[minor ore]

im kinda used to buildup chapters

[rain drum]

This really got me hyped ngl

[minor ore]

i read aot and the marley arc is mostly buildup

[bleak skiff]

Yasuho, Jobin and Norisuke go to the hospital and everyone lives

Please

[young meteor]

Three of them will survive. (I hope so)

[lost slate]

nahh, not happening

[simple kraken]

Also The Wonder of You was changed to 11 chapters in mangadex

[burnt quiver]

i think especially with this arc and the last, each chapter is a really small piece of the larger puzzle - which is perfectly fine, but a caveat of that kind of writing (especially when each chapter is a month wait) is that some pieces are less interesting than other

[minor ore]

joshu is going to feed everyone some locacaca

[burnt quiver]

and its entirely subjective

[lost slate]

I really want to see what happens to Jobin next chapter

[simple kraken]

There is no "dangerous pursuit"

[analog ether]

Absolutely

[lost slate]

he kinda got shafted here

[minor ore]

i do agree with you

[young meteor]

One more month until the new harvest

[minor ore]

damn it

[burnt quiver]

but this "piece" was less interesting to me personally than previous ones

[bleak skiff]

I'm really worried... what if Joshu witnessed his death

[analog ether]

Like, I enjoyed this chapter more than the last, but I'm 100% sure that the previous one will have WAY more consequences on the whole arc than this one

[burnt quiver]

right

[minor ore]

damn is joubin ded

[burnt quiver]

i was so happy to see jousuke again

[bleak skiff]

I was happy to see everyone again

Except tooru

[rain drum]

He's just losing blood

[young meteor]

I want to see Norisuke

[bleak skiff]

*****Koolaid

[lost slate]

you want to see a bodybag

[minor ore]

maybe seeing his big brother's bloody nipple traumatized him

[young meteor]

Not bodybag!

[lost slate]

yes bodybag

[bleak skiff]

Never thought I'd read that sentence in my life

[analog ether]

You wanna know a crazy fact?

[mighty kestrel]

Well that was... certainly a chapter

[analog ether]

This is actually the first time Joshu and Yasuho have ever directly talked to one another

[bleak skiff]

Another fun fact:

[bright hedge]

D8P is the superior siege weapon

[bleak skiff]

Fuck tooru

[bright hedge]

very effective in taking down castle chair

chair fortress

[minor ore]

bamboo mat stand op

[burnt quiver]

what was that

btw

the fuckin sticks

[analog ether]

a rock bug

[minor ore]

rock animal

[bleak skiff]

De do do do de da da da

[bright hedge]

rock insect

[analog ether]

a rock bug thing

[burnt quiver]

oh sick

[bright hedge]

or animal

or whatever

[mighty kestrel]

Was “De Do Do Do De Da Da Da” suppose to mean anything

[minor ore]

like yashuo's hair pin

[analog ether]

that da hd had in da pocket

[mighty kestrel]

Or was that a laugh

[minor ore]

its a refrence

[bright hedge]

its a Police song @mighty kestrel

[bleak skiff]

A song reference

[analog ether]

he was saving that for something special

[minor ore]

thats the name of the rock animal

[mighty kestrel]

Okay so it was the rock insect name

I couldnt tell what was happening

[minor ore]

bamboo mat decided to be bob the builder

[lost slate]

He summoned the rock animal

[bleak skiff]

Things that have been confirmed this chapter: Head Doctor is a stand, Mamezuku is thicc

[mighty kestrel]

The Mamezuku ass shot man

Just why

[burnt quiver]

that name is so stupid

btw

fuck the police

message in a bottle was their only good song

everything else is mid

[simple kraken]

Ok

[minor ore]

so melting into the ground is the rock bug's ability?

[mighty kestrel]

At least it was good to see the staircase stand again

[grizzled pilot]

tru

[solemn kindle]

so tooru the main antagonist for sure now

[bleak skiff]

YOU

[mighty kestrel]

Well

[minor ore]

agreed

[solemn kindle]

he vibe

[bleak skiff]

What is tooru doing here >:c

[minor ore]

vibin

[solemn kindle]

hes honestly one of the more menacing antagonists

[mighty kestrel]

I still would find it to be a bit anticlimactic if tooru was Main Villain-kun

[bleak skiff]

He can vibe far away from here

[solemn kindle]

the dead look in his eyes gives me johnny vibes

[minor ore]

tooru has the dark determination

[mighty kestrel]

Just because he was a totally non-existant entity for such a large portion of the story

[austere burrow]

Guys I finished the chapter

[solemn kindle]

fingers crossed for kato as villain

[austere burrow]

Can someone explain a few things to me

[minor ore]

i wish he was refrenced earlier

[solemn kindle]

sure gyro zeppeli

[simple kraken]

maybe he's the baby

Idk

[bleak skiff]

as long as tooru dies I'm good

[minor ore]

he did say "long journey"

[gilded stream]

chapter was up there I’d say

[solemn kindle]

jobin better die

[minor ore]

bruh

[solemn kindle]

araki keeps doing fake outs

[young meteor]

Jobin better live

[gilded stream]

not much happened but then again it’s a reveal chapter

[bleak skiff]

:(

[minor ore]

i hope no one dies

[solemn kindle]

i love jobin dont get me wrong

[simple kraken]

Joshu is definitely gonna die

[solemn kindle]

but it'd be shitty writing if the guy who gushed blood didnt die

[minor ore]

they all survive and live happily ever after

[bleak skiff]

Sure >:(

[young meteor]

i hope no one dies
@minor ore Not gonna happen

[solemn kindle]

its a seinen not a shonen i feel its more grounded

[coral moss]

idk there was a lot of bleeding in sbr

[minor ore]

ik 😦

[simple kraken]

nah it just means he can add more blood

[bleak skiff]

It's just a flesh wound

[minor ore]

dude this is jojo

[gilded stream]

I don’t think Jobin is dead as of now, but I think he will die by the end of the part

[solemn kindle]

yeah this is jojo

[minor ore]

jojolion is full of fakeouts

[young meteor]

Don't expect Araki would show some mercy on jjl characters.

[gilded stream]

I do think Norisuke is dead though

[minor ore]

as long as yashuo lives

[austere burrow]

Why did the head doctor which is toorus stand come to the lab in the firat place

[mighty kestrel]

Something that bothered me when this was said - the head doctor specfically addressed Josuke and said “soon both you and I will be heading home”

Is that suppose to be referencing something deeper, or was it just him being weird with his car wreck analogy

[solemn kindle]

still jobin even hit the "i appreciate you" speech that EVERY good guy character who dies says

[minor ore]

HD is tooru's stand

[gilded stream]

they made a huge deal out of it and his body is shown hours after his death

[austere burrow]

I know

[solemn kindle]

yeah goes w/o saying HD is tooru's stand

[minor ore]

he came to encounter jousuke

[coral moss]

tooru's stand is also a dude

it can talk and everything

[bleak skiff]

In Jojo when you lose 50 gallons of blood you can still live

[austere burrow]

he came to encounter jousuke
@minor ore why though

[young meteor]

Jojo logic

[gilded stream]

@austere burrow read chapter 99

[austere burrow]

Okay

[mighty kestrel]

Thonk

[minor ore]

jousuke speculates that he is here to kill holly

[austere burrow]

Maybe he though he has the new rokakaka

[bleak skiff]

Even if it's announced that he died he's still alive dw

[simple kraken]

It might not be fully tooru's stand

Idk how this would work

[minor ore]

it is probably

[simple kraken]

Maybe a semi sentient stand

[austere burrow]

I think it is cause he's sensing things through it

[coral moss]

this is maybe the most sentient stand so far

[minor ore]

its as sentient as balck sabbath

[bleak skiff]

We can just save him with the Rokakaka

[gilded stream]

sentient stand kinda like a homie

[bleak skiff]

Right?

[coral moss]

it can have conversations and everything

does tooru take direct control of the HD sometimes?

like during the presentation about the locacaca

[mighty kestrel]

Black Sabbath wasn’t really sentient

[gilded stream]

but imagine having a old dude as a stand

[mighty kestrel]

It was just autonomous

[analog ether]

people really strung up about the hd stand being sentient, huh?

[mighty kestrel]

It couldnt figure out that the old dude wasn’t the one doing the trial

[coral moss]

i mean it hasn't really been explored so far

[gilded stream]

no HD is 100% controlled

[coral moss]

oh right he can see through it

[mighty kestrel]

I mean whether or not HD is sentient or not i think is mostly irrelevant

[coral moss]

the design kinda reminds me of the hand

[kind owl]

@coral moss, Your Gangstar Rank is now level 1 !

[gilded stream]

@mighty kestrel we don’t know if it’s relevant or not

[mighty kestrel]

Also - even if it was sentient, its still not the most sentient stand we’ve seen

[minor ore]

can HD be compared to whitesnake?

[coral moss]

i guess echoes and spice girl are more sentient

[mighty kestrel]

Because there are stands like Anubis and the explody back stand

[gilded stream]

HD definitely got a Whitesnake thing going on

[mighty kestrel]

Also Gold Experience Requiem which literally said “Giorno Giovana doesn’t even know of my existance”

[pulsar yoke]

Giorno knew of its existence, but not the full extent of its power

[coral moss]

i somehow completely forgot about ger

[mighty kestrel]

So like... it being sentient is really not that big of a deal unless there is something specifically different about the HD’s existance as a stand

[minor ore]

why did HD find the room odd tho?

[coral moss]

i think it's because the head doctor has been set up as a separate character

[gilded stream]

because josuke was mad chilling

[mighty kestrel]

He was just taking a guess

[bleak skiff]

Josuke might've done something to the floor

[minor ore]

at first i thought that jousuke stole friction from the floor

[coral moss]

i thought that josuke did some old soft and wet stuff

yeah

[minor ore]

then i realized how stupid i was

[gilded stream]

rip plunder

😔

[minor ore]

jouske will steal HD's eyesight

[mighty kestrel]

Yeah it was just HD making an educated guess that something was likely going to happen when he set foot in the room

[minor ore]

maybe its like the poor tom situation

[coral moss]

is this insect thing related to yasuho's old rock animal hairpin

[minor ore]

nothing is odd about the room

[hard meteor]

Possibly

[minor ore]

tooru is just paranoid

[coral moss]

i hope he gets developed a bit more

[mighty kestrel]

“Related” - eh, maybe, maybe not

“Similar situation” - yeah, definitely

[gilded stream]

either that or mistranslation

[minor ore]

its just an insect

[coral moss]

it's an undiscovered insect

[mighty kestrel]

I’m still not really sure what the purpose of the Something She Once Saw chapter was...

[minor ore]

so was yashuo's hairpin

i really like that chapter

[gilded stream]

weirdass popsicle stick monster

[coral moss]

yeah that chapter was weird

i guess it expanded the rock creatures a bit

[gilded stream]

araki really doing anything with rock creatures

[coral moss]

it sets up the urban guerilla arc

[mighty kestrel]

I mean

...kinda?

[coral moss]

not a huge fan of that fight

[mighty kestrel]

In that there are Rock X

Where X =/= human

I guess...

[civic flame]

truly am collecting all of these images of mamezuku

[bleak skiff]

Honestly I just reread the Urban Guerrilla arc and I really liked it

[minor ore]

its better in color

[coral moss]

i only read through the one time

[minor ore]

easier to understand

[coral moss]

yeah b&w was very hard to decipher

[bleak skiff]

Especially the part where Mamezuku uses his arm as a crossbow

[minor ore]

that was hype

[bright hedge]

did the people who dont like the blue hawaii arc read it monthly?

or do people in general just not like it?

[coral moss]

i liked blue hawaii

[kind owl]

@coral moss, Your Gangstar Rank is now level 2 !

[mighty kestrel]

I did not read it monthly and I still disliked it

[bright hedge]

i got to read it all at once and i enjoyed it a lot

[coral moss]

i don't really like that it's another pursuit stand

since part 8 is already full of them

[bleak skiff]

I really should reread Blue Hawaii

[coral moss]

but the arc was interesting

[mighty kestrel]

Part 8 is literally “Long Range Automatic Stand - The Part”

[simple kraken]

I don't mind that

[bleak skiff]

It does make for some difficult fights

[simple kraken]

Some people do and I don't blame them

[burnt quiver]

i think its handled well

[simple kraken]

Rock humans all have pursuit stands

[burnt quiver]

i didnt notice it until you said that tho

[bleak skiff]

Mhm same

[coral moss]

it definitely makes some arcs stand out more

[mighty kestrel]

I think my problem with it is that it made literally all the fights impersonal and thus I’ve never really gotten to care at all for the rock humans as characters

[burnt quiver]

cuz ur right id say an overwhelming majority of these stands are long range

[mighty kestrel]

Plus the all die

So

Theres that

[burnt quiver]

i mean i dont think theyre supposed to be too fleshed out

[coral moss]

im finding it weirdly hard to care too much about a lot of the characters

[hushed rover]

sobs in stardust crusaders

[burnt quiver]

but i also dont know if im just saying that bc i dont want to admit that jojolion might be flawed

[bright hedge]

yotsuyu didnt die, hes still there...waiting...

[burnt quiver]

i care about the characters a lot

[young meteor]

He referenced sdc

[simple kraken]

I care about the humans

[minor ore]

did HD quote someone?

[coral moss]

the relationships are definitely different because there's so many more characters

[mighty kestrel]

I stand firm that the higashikata cast are some of the best Jojo side characters, definitely

[bleak skiff]

JoJolion has such great characters

[minor ore]

yes

[mighty kestrel]

But man have the antagonists been droll for the most part

[coral moss]

damo was pretty cool

[minor ore]

i do like most of them but there a few duds

aphex twins were shit

[bleak skiff]

I personally liked Yotsuyu

[simple kraken]

I liked poor tom, damo, tomoki

[mighty kestrel]

Damo, Jobin, and maybe Tooru are the only ones I’ve come to care for

[coral moss]

dolomite was interesting

[simple kraken]

Yotsuyu was cool

[bleak skiff]

Oh, I hated the twins

[minor ore]

yotsuyu was meh

[simple kraken]

Dolomite disgusted me but yeah he was interesting

[coral moss]

i think that was the point

[minor ore]

dolomite was really cool

[analog ether]

Aphex Twins were the biggest jobbers

[mighty kestrel]

Aphex Twins, yotsuyu, dolomite, fun fun fun boi - all bleh

[burnt quiver]

i LOVED damo

[hushed rover]

LMAO, ARAKI'S MUSICAL REFERENCES ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND

[burnt quiver]

dolomite was cool too

[bleak skiff]

Idk if you can tell, but I might just like Jobin a little bit

[coral moss]

yeah even josefumi could beat the aphex twins

[analog ether]

ojiro
bleh

Unreal

[simple kraken]

Nah, ojiro wasn't bad

[kind owl]

@simple kraken, Your Gangstar Rank is now level 17 !

[coral moss]

big fan of ojiro coming back

[burnt quiver]

ojiro wasnt bad wtf

[simple kraken]

He was actually pretty cool

[minor ore]

the rock doctors are way more interesting than rock mafia

[burnt quiver]

he was dope even with his shitty stand LOL

[simple kraken]

Yeah for sure

[bleak skiff]

Ojiro was great

[minor ore]

ojiro was fun to watch

[coral moss]

tfw your stand gets buffed but you get taken out by a secondary villain anyways

[simple kraken]

I've liked all of the hospital antags

[mighty kestrel]

I unironically enjoyed the Ojiro Returns arc more than his actual fight arc

[minor ore]

and it was fun to see him die too

[mighty kestrel]

because he died

[burnt quiver]

aphex twin was a fun fight but they were not memorable characters

[minor ore]

josefumi vs aphex twins was so great

[burnt quiver]

i loved not-yukako's "im back shitheads"

AND THAT

THAT WAS GREAT

[bleak skiff]

YES

[burnt quiver]

i wish we had more josefumi fights

[coral moss]

that flashback arc in general was real good

[simple kraken]

Yep

[burnt quiver]

dude im telling you

[simple kraken]

Top tier arc

[burnt quiver]

vitamin c and killer queen might be my favorite jojos arc point blank

like

[minor ore]

vitamin C is top teir

[coral moss]

probably at least top 5 in the series

[burnt quiver]

everything about it is executed so well

[bleak skiff]

Maybe somehow Kira and Josefumi will come back, I wouldn't count on it tho. Pretty sure Kira is dead

[simple kraken]

Kira is long gone

[coral moss]

i don't think i'd like seeing them again

[burnt quiver]

nah i think josuke is kira and thats the whole point

[minor ore]

he is rotting

[coral moss]

josuke is more interesting as an mc

[mighty kestrel]

I would say I enjoyed Born this Way but lol Kyo doesn’t exist :kappa:

[minor ore]

where is KYO

[burnt quiver]

dude kyo such a wasted opportunity

[bleak skiff]

Vitamin C is without a doubt my favorite arc in the entire series

[hushed rover]

finished the chapter. tooru is so fucking dead.

[minor ore]

kyo and caato gon take a vacation

[simple kraken]

Yeah I wouldn't like seeing them again, it would take away the impact of vitamin c

[bleak skiff]

And Joshu better kill him

[coral moss]

esp after josuke reaffirmed his relationship w holly

[burnt quiver]

i would love a side story where we just see josefumi doing badass shit

[minor ore]

8 page ora

[mighty kestrel]

I dont reallt care that Kaato never made a return (yet), but Kyo disappearing honestly bugs me

[burnt quiver]

dog i just miss josefumi hes so pretty 🥺

[minor ore]

i mean we did get a one page ora for a bamboo mat

[coral moss]

kyo is probably the biggest problem i have with jjl

[simple kraken]

Well something happened to her

[burnt quiver]

why?

[simple kraken]

intentionally

[burnt quiver]

just that she disappeared?

[minor ore]

maybe she got married

and decided to have children

[bleak skiff]

She appears

[simple kraken]

But her disappearance hasn't really bugged me

[coral moss]

just that there's a lot of potential for interpersonal stuff with her

[minor ore]

and live a happy life

[bleak skiff]

She just doesn't do anything

[minor ore]

Vitamin C is without a doubt my favorite arc in the entire series
@bleak skiff good choice

she is a maid.she does do alot of things

it’s probably top 5 easy for me

up there with ringo

[coral moss]

we haven't seen josuke with people other than mamezuku and yasuho for a while

[mighty kestrel]

It bugs me because:

1. She’s Holy’s daughter, so she should be involved in this situation

2. She still believes the Higashikatas are responsible for Kira’s death (for some reason)

3. Born This Way is so hyper specific of an ability that it feels like it was made specifically to be used again in the future

[minor ore]

damn i guess i was lowkey hoping for born this way to pop up from the HD parcel

[bleak skiff]

Ngl I feel like Daiya has probably been the only one who was completely useless the entire time

[coral moss]

yeah we don't really know how kyo feels about anything going on

[minor ore]

daiya's ckb might be used later

[coral moss]

but i think she was deliberately omitted from a family picture

[minor ore]

kyo could very well be in the hospital for all we know

[simple kraken]

It was definitely deliberate

[mighty kestrel]

I mean Daiya is like 14, mosty blind, and has a stand that isn’t entirely useful in most situations

[bleak skiff]

Maybe, it's a pretty great stand

She's 16

[coral moss]

isn't daiya 16

[bleak skiff]

Plus, Lucy was helpful

[mighty kestrel]

Well I stand corrected there - point still stands

[bleak skiff]

And Johnny was also disabled

[coral moss]

lucy is a great character

[mighty kestrel]

Yeah but Johnny was the protagonist 😛

[coral moss]

[bright hedge]

and theyll reverse it in the one panel

[bleak skiff]

Soft

[hushed rover]

Smooth and Soaked

[bleak skiff]

[minor ore]

I feel like at that point, we should get pass localized Stand names

[bleak skiff]

Spïn

[coral moss]

i can't handle the dub because of stand names

[minor ore]

Whenever Part 8 gets animated

[hushed rover]

Fast Royalty Man

[coral moss]

well the subtitles are crunchyroll's decision

[bright hedge]

Extremely Long Disaster

[mighty kestrel]

What really gets me is when they change stand names that are 1 word

[coral moss]
