I think we can all agree Jobin has the best design in the whole part
In jjl alone?
main villain in my heart
Yes
josuke better design
I respect your wrong opinion
Be better then Tooru
is this part good?
idk its soooo weird
it's not an "ordinary jojo"
sorry for mistakes im russian 🇷🇺
it will probably be continued in jojolands, the plot points like wall eyes that is
There are many others that I doubt will have continuation. I would even consider them plotholes
nah araki forgets way less comapared to other mangakas like togashi
Still forgets nevertheless
Sometimes people forget araki is 62 just because he looks 30
Fucking hamon users smh
hamon mooves were cool
Wall eyes weren’t a dropped plot point it’s been said to be a devils palm multiple times, and no jojolands isn’t going to be jojolion the sequel if something wasn’t answered in 8 it’s likely not coming back in 9
oohhk i didnt read jojolion so i assumed its a plot point because everyone says so

There could be some answers to part 8 plotholes like Josefumi star birthmark
everyday i lose faith in this world
they didnt show that josefumi had a joeatar birthmark
lol
they did in a very suspicious context
They literally did
gladly araki said gay rights and made up some shit about the sandal
they did
Araki could have easily say Josefumi was a illegitimate child of Joseph but he must have forgot ¯_(ツ)_/¯
What is this about
he literally said he wasnt an illegitimate child by saying that crap about his name
how would he forget if he addressed the character in the last chapter?
I am a rock, crush him with cum!
What im saying is that araki never explained the birthmark and after its first appearence it was never seen again
he didnt forget,he just refused to give a solid answer and named him after a sandle
But not like other mistakes in part 8 he could have solved it pretty easily
it could have been easily dropped like the flashback to the future man
Birthmark is omitted every single time Josefumi is redrawn. There is one page where he has it and every time it appears again it’s in a page where the original art is reused
Safe to say it was retconned out or it was simply a mistake
yeah
Yeah like I said
There’s a lot of weird art mishaps in Part 8 that don’t make a lot of sense, like Kei being removed from the family portrait
its not reused because the drawing is different but it was an idea at that time that was never brought up again
So instead of looking too deeply into it it’s better to take it at face value
i mean, its not they copy pasted the same drawing
Because Araki has never resolved unfinished plot points in between parts and in the sequel part, it just doesn’t happen
So we’re missing some input from Araki before we can make a proper judgment
People hoping it gets elaborated on in Part 9 are going to be disappointed
^
the only thing im hoping to get elaborated is when it is due
I doubt alot of people are waiting for an answer in part 9
Some are
ive seen a fair amount coping for it to be answered in 9
pls i just want any news
wasn't dropped, that's the part 9 mv

One of the many abilities of Josuke that are totally related to bubbles:
Clairvoyance
Every Kira in every universe has time related abilities
how does kira au hv time related ability?
he doesnt
its a joke
time stops when you look at his beauty
Honestly Kira is the prettiest JoJo
fax
Have you seen shirtless part 8 josuke?
I mean I’m not gay but…..
Josuke 🤢

gotta give it to u the man is buffed asf
Ain’t his muscles
One shovel and u dead
its the genes of his fathers
The moment he puts on his suit he loses 50% of muscle mass
Like a reverse superman
🥵

💪 
This the mf that killed me?
i dont remember
Yeah, yw
No roleplaying
Hold on
So the dio's in general talking about their relationship with pucci arent roleplaying?
is that a rule?
Yes?
That's out of my jurisdiction 
But they're not supposed to be doing that in there either lol
These are discussion channels, for discussion, not playing
And roleplayers are really fucking annoying 😄
It’s really annoying
And yeah like greeny said this server is for discussing the show not having gay sex with Dio
Lmao
Idk man something being anoying doesn't seem like a reason to be banned
@alpine trench, Your Stand Rank is now level 13 !
It is against the rules so don't fight it
Everyone is a Jojo fan here and they are all anoying lmao
Most people think it's fucking annoying. This is a channel for discussing, not pretending you're whoever the fuck
Some are more annoying than others
That is plainly evident
Im calmly protesting

Lets not pretend all people do in these channels is discuss
It doesn't fucking matter lmao
It makes no difference that roleplayers are annoying and clog up the channels
People that post stupid fucking memes are in the same boat
Fine I get it, mods find it annoying so they banned it
Everyone else finds it annoying
Except roleplayers i guess
... who everyone finds annoying
instead of roleplayers they should ban blue names
^^
Agree ban them all
yes i aso agree
They should also ban everyone that has a MHA fanfic profile pic
whats a mha fanfic
Yes!!!!!
Just ban any mha fan tbh

This could be made true if there wasn't a mod called fucking dekumorty 
Jesus
Christ
Is
gay
🌈
all jojo characters are gay
Fucking failure
ruined it
very funi. top comedy
@dontmakeno
hey i joined just to ask a question thats been bothering me: how and why does wonder of u break the fundemental rule which states that non-stand users cant see stands. i mean the stand literally walks around as a normal head doctor and everyone can talk to him, hear him, and interact with him as normal. isnt that not supposed to be allowed?
i mean ffs the stand literally gets on a stage and gives a whole speech to a whole crowd of people who are most likely non-stand users
you uh,you do realize theres other stands that can be seen by regualr people right?
Jojo has those problems sometimes.
this isnt a new concept lmao
Its normal tho
LMAO
have you ever heard of stand types
its not even a problem unless you just skipped most of the manga
This bouta be good
mayeb i didnt pay attention to that discrepancy until wonder of u
Yes but i forgor
clearly you didnt
ok but is there an explanation to that? why make a rule only to have stands that break that rule?

READ THE MANGA
whats a manga
hey man i was probably high half the time that i was reading jojolion
oh based
japanese comic
nevermind u good
Materialized Type Stands,[5] commonly referred to in the western fandom as "Bound Stands", are those that attach themselves to material objects, such as vehicles or weapons, and essentially become said objects. As a result, ordinary humans are more likely to see them in effect, as the object they are integrated with will showcase supernatural properties. A Materialized Stand is usually featureless but occasionally possesses its own appearance. Moreover, as a rule of thumb, the greater the object the Stand is linked to, the more powerful the Stand is. Unlike Artificial Non-Humanoid Stands, some Users can modify the shape of the bound object (some users may have the ability to change what object their stand is bound to, most notably Wheel of Fortune).
Materialized Stands can be easily mistaken for ordinary objects, allowing their Users to catch their enemies off guard. However, destroying the object will often disable the Stand and leave the User defenseless, if not wounded.
-jojowiki
better not have been no bammer shit tho
sorry for the amount of text here but literally
i dont believe ive ever seen that concept necessarily explained in the manga like that but it makes sense, shouldve checked wiki before asking
why does there need to be an explanation part 3 literally has a stand the size of boat that can be seen by regular people the rule was already "broken" by that point
you know hoe people can see strength and cream starter?
because their objects
ok true, i watched part 3 so long ago that it didnt occur to me back then nor now
doesnt yukako's hair count as a stand and people just see her hair regularly?
yes
yes
because her ability is to control her hair
there it is then
her hair isnt the stand
yeah ok now you guys are makng me realize how many times it has happened without me questioning it, i guess wonder of u just made it insanely obvious so i had to question it at that point
lmao
yes
super gay
I guess stands are like transformers, they are cars but also badass robots to some people
since the tower became a landmark
ok yeah superfly is also an obvious one goddammit
@pale moon, Your Stand Rank is now level 1 !
feel like a dumbass now
thats just you
baseless accusation
cant wait to see wonder of u in the anime opening up console and typing in noclip
This dude in chp 96 called rai a "trap" 🤔
based accusation*
i think youre insane
is english your second language
yes
fair enough, shut your trap is a common expression for shut your mouth
yeah not way too common, especially not in modern slang
most people will just say stfu
yes
you know i think one of my fav stands from part 8 had to have been awaking 3 leaves
That is based. No one talks about it
stand literally creates vectors, its actually quite viable since it just deals with common physics
was it actually supposed to be always moving around or was it a discrepancy in drawing?
cuz ik holly's rocks did
I don't really know
im guessing it works the same as the ones on holly's body
Maybe its an error or like a retcon?
but not as dangerous
since holly's would og up to her brain and put her in a coma
poor holly, i actually really liked this version of her compared to the one in the original universe
I liked all Holly's
fair enough, i just liked that she played an important role in part 8
🧠
lmao
LMAOOOOOOOO
lmao
I hate JoJo fans with a burning passion
Lmao
I also hate myself
i remember back before part 5's animation when the jojo fandom was more tame and had more braincells
they move around
It gets worse with every season
is that fucking tiktok
No
YouTube...
What if its a rock bug???
what
@pale moon, Your Stand Rank is now level 2 !
no
same energy
lmao
its just the effect of using the rokakaka
Hey old ripple
well actually, as far as we know it could be a living organism growing on your body
It isn't
what do you mean ryder
It's just an art discrepancy
Def
id be convinced if it moved tho, since the ones on holly's body did
Wasnt this the acc that got banned some time back
its always been the same acc
New Ripple
I'm 100% sure they move
im quite sure too, but we wont fully know till its animated unfortunately
if they move that would defeat the purpose
This is the account that isn’t in cjjba
i left
Is it common for a fandom to complain about art discrepancy? Cause I see it alot on here. Maybe its the Araki forgot stuff.
the only araki forgot moment was karera
i miss her
Cause people love to call out Araki for stuff?
theres probably others too that i specifically forgot about
But she appears in a text bubble in one panel in 110
its because jojo fans cant just enjoy things
He clearly didn't?
oh damn, i mustve missed it then
Oh thats what probably threw me off
Yeah makes sense
i think it was very lateat night when i finished the last chapter of jojolion, i was probably tired
i searched karera and found something i regret
oh wait, 110 you said
well actually
ok yeah now i remember
i did read that, i just forgot
i guess i just expected there to be an actual return from her, since she also said "we'll meet again"
Maybe in jojolands
care
Ik
no it's not
She needs to come back

i miss her
yall need to cope
Yes
its great to see yoshikage kira being a productive member of society and seeing him use his powers in the medical field, hope he doesnt do anything that would land him in grave trouble 🥶
Both Kira's are productive members of society
but one of them is a serial killer
and one is hot
really hot
i guess you could argue purging women is produ- nvm
I'm
kira in part 8 really went out of his way to put unnecessary trauma into the mind of a mentally ill surfer just for the hell of it
maybe he didnt suspect that the guy was mentally ill, i mean he seemed normal until you realize hes completely delusional about everything
when the time called for it tho he put his autism away and did something really good though
then he died
like stranger danger when he pulled up to tsurugi?
no im talking about Kira
lmao
oh right
Ojiro was great all around i fucking love that did e
You have never heard of "maid"
peace
maid in heaven
Josh
last thing before i go: people who pronounce joshu like the english josh with a u at the end make me cringe
@pale moon, Your Stand Rank is now level 3 !
Like "jawshyou"?
what else would it be
Josh you
Joeshu
jo-shu, jo like in josuke
Joe Shoe
Thats the true way to pronounce it
yep, thatd be correct
I have a wacky and fun challenge for jojolion fans
Moan "joshu-kun" very loudly beside your parents

me when i live in a single dorm miles away from my parents
Then moan louder
you right, no excuses
Aw hell naw you got pronounce in your bio
PRONOUNCE
hate it when people have their pronounce in their bio

Uncommon greeny L
(I was kidding)
Lmao and you edited it too
Cause I spelled pronounce wrong
Lol
how many days till your Ma's bday?
11-8=3 days
I edited the josh page on the wiki
3 days or 2 if you wanna count down
awsome
!w joshu
Cappin
damn
drake and josh wiki
L
there's a wiki for that?
Of course
!wjosuke
L
why?
!w joshu
Joshu is one of the worst Jojolion characters change my mind
i wont you can have your opinion
Don't be vandalizing the actual JoJo Wiki
Im not
I just did some stupid shit on chrome and boom
Umm I have a question
go ahead
Why joshu is hated in jjba fandom ?
No :')
(〒﹏〒)
lmao don't ask if you haven't read it before
Lmao
I am just curious
average jojo fan cant understand his greatness thats why
silence genji pfp
(눈‸눈)
He's pretty selfish, ignorant, lacks self-awareness etc.
Joshu makes his haters feel like beta cucks that's why
but it's ok because he's always punished for it and he does have moments of quality
sad cause true

joshu gross, cant change my mind
On lord
betas
beta male
this chad 
NKC strongest stand ever made
I’m from the future, wonder of you will be localized to thinking of you
k if you want
I mean the actual music is "The wonder of You" so what are the chances the name "Wonder of U" actually stays?
Little to none
Little odds? Thats good enough for me
joshu, even when faced with moments where he could very well choose the logical and wise choice, goes for the most weirdest, nonsensical, selfish choice
reference: final arc of jjl
Joshu is the true chad he is underestimated
afterall he is the nut king

nuts to yasuho everyday probably, thats why nut king call is the manifestation of his heart
LMAO
part 1 spoilers guys 
fuck
fr
This is what jojolands leak will look like
joshu main character of jojolands please
joshu should get a spinoff like rohan did
oh wait milagro man was a thing
will probably forget
saddest part of jojolion is that we never get to see what Suzi Q looked like in the alternate universe
Mid
Araki: It's not evil, is it? There's a reason for it. In "JoJoLion", there's a second son named Joshu Higashikata and he's not a bad guy, but he's a lovable guy. I drew a story with him as the main character once, and I'd like to draw it again. I really like the way he runs after money and other desires."
He's not necessarily a bad guy. I think he's drawn to be a lovable idiot
XD
I do not love him, though
thats how i always saw him throughout jojolion, dude was never an inherently evil character
No of course not
based araki
based on what? hm? answer that one liberal
I want to see a spinoff where joshu wants to get laid desperately but somehow unleashes like another curse stand
i hope you arnt serios
Of course you have blue hair and pronouns...
i hope you didnt take it seriously

i didnt
then we are safe
"No I didn't take it seriously, i aint a lib"
Joe many librals does it take to change a log by bolb???????????
now question is, did joshu lose the arm he used to jack off or not? that alone will determine how short of an end he got from the stick
None!!! They're too busy !1!!! their gender!!!!!!!!!!
who says made in heaven sometimes when they are alone
Switch hands
im gay
will take some getting used to if you arent ambidextrous
It's your only option
gotta make do 😔
City boys got it all ready for them
Country boys make do
higashikata boys gotta make do
Beta tingz

@proven pine

(4 balls)
Shut up Yak
I didn't expect that kind of image and not gonna lie - I laughed because of how random it was 😂
I have a hunch that he actually might be the main character of Part 9, struggling to heal his hand somehow
joshu goes to new guinea in search of the original rokakaka
@pale moon, Your Stand Rank is now level 4 !
Joshu as possible Part 9's protagonist?
It’s not going to happen
Yeah, I unironically see this theory as probable to happen. Well, at least I'd like it to happen 
His name can’t even be JoJo idk what you’re smoking
the copium is strong
A Joshu spin-off might be interesting. I know a lot of people would want that. Araki said himself he’d like to write a story with him as the focus again
I for one think a Thus Spoke Joshu Higashikata would be funny as fuck
same,but theres no chance he'll be the protag for 9
No chance at all
id like it to be called joshu's sexual assault allegations
Relax, we are only discussing more or less probable theories or hunches about Part 9
Yeah it’s not really a valid “theory”
A spin-off could work, indeed
That would be like saying I think Koichi is going to be the protagonist of Part 5
not even a theory,why would araki make a part 9 with a character that isnt a joestar or a jojo
The people saying Joshu would be part 9 protag are either brain dead or trolling
i have a hunch that part 9 will have a main character who has a relation very abstract like giorno's relation to the joestars
they are doing a lil bit of trolling
wait nvm they already did that with part 8 fuck
i am trolling
josuke already had an abstract relation to the joestars
bogof
Not
It was pretty straight forward
Well, I wonder what were the theories of JoJo fans in Japan after Part 4 ended and Part 5 was announced

joshu spin off would be so funny every chapter should literally just be stupid shit
Probably not that Koichi could be the protagonist!
eh, id say we have different definitions for straightforward then
i would make that
i dont see josuke's relation to the joestars very straight-forward
should I make that
Koichi is the protagonist lets gooo
That's true. Come on, it's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. We can't be 100% sure that Araki-sensei would follow the same pattern in the exactly the same way
He is exactly 50% joestar wdym
if koichi was a protagonist at all i would literally stop reading jojo after like 6 chapters
yeah but the way it all came to be is rather peculiar
Josefumi had the birthmark so I expected him to be a little more than 50% but I guess araki didnt give a shit
oh yeah i wasnt imagening that, why does josefumi have the birthmark again? i was always confused over that
Probably art mistake, it’s only in one panel and he doesn’t have any ties explained in the story
^ makes sense
Dropped plot point araki never mentioned again
Sure Kira only has it in one panel also but he has a cannon joestar lineage
it actually drove me crazy when i first noticed it, i kept wondering how that would come to happen
Yes yes, I didn't imply that of course. That's even more crazy concept than Joshu being Part 9's protagonist, haha. I'm just wondering what were the theories like back when Part 5's manga was announced
Or just.. art mistake
He gave Lisa Lisa a birthmark once also in some art he made
I think a cover
thats quite the woopsie
I don't think including the biggest sign of a Joestar on a character can be considered an art mistake
So josefumi is not supposed to have a star birth mark
what
Besides with lisa lisa it was art
From what we know of the story, correct
I don't think so
seems that way
i mean if he was meant to, then there shouldve been some explanation to it, but theres none
there has been no previous interaction between the kujos and the joestars prior
Just a silly mistake that he places the birthmark on the wrong hot guy
that we know of
maybe it was foreshadowing the birth of Josuke Higashikata 😱 😱
Theories are theories. They can be dumb, or complex, or complex in their silliness, hehe
someone was tryna tell me josefumi is ugly i was like nahh you trippin
Bruh tf
i actually love what araki did with his hairstyle
its like a more modern version of josuke's hairstyle from part 4
that mf is blind
I like toorus hair
That’s like saying Kira isn’t the perfect character or KQ8 isn’t op or that vitamin c and killer queen isn’t the best arc in jojo
No I am not biased

i think i also heard someone else talking shit on KQ's stand design, calling it ugly or something, like bro what its literally one of the coolest designs araki has made
Bro wtf
@inland ferry, Your Stand Rank is now level 10 !
Vitamin C and Endless Calamity... Two arcs I can't decide which I liked more
Endless Calamity arc gave me more emotions, but Vitamin C was more entertaining
they leaked the jojolion anime
both were absolutely amazing, but i think vitamin c has a bit of an edge since it shows us the backstory behind josuke, which imo was such a great backstory
the scene where josefumi and kira steal the rokakaka branches was 💯
the most badass shit ive seen i na while
when im like 30 and part 8 will be animated 🤯
Wonder of U is such a cool stand tho
That's true. As much as I like Tooru and his Stand, I think that Vitamin C arc was slightly better overal
Coolest stand in the whole part for me
yeah id agree
I like chocolate disco
my god
@pale moon like you said, the backstories were awesome additions to Vitamin C arc
But im biased because I like Elvis 👉 👈
i was so lost in trying to figure out how d4c works i didnt even pay attention to what chocolate disco did, to this day idk what the fuck that stand does
Agreed. One of my favorite Stands in the whole franchise
i love how araki took as may things as he could to a different path with part 8
especially wonder of u's ability
Yup
and i love how tooru isnt just some big bad guy
Me too
he does what he does for his own wants, and his path just happened to be one that needed to collide with josuke's
but his stand is very very good
He wanted to improve the medicine to sell it to the rich tho
No matter how many he had to kill
Yes, Tooru was really original not only as JJBA main villain, but as a main villain in general
Seems pretty evil to me
yesss, i actually like the idea that he'd use the stand as like a second pair of eyes, working in tandem with it and all
hes a rock human, different values from that of humans
id describe it more as having an indifference towards the lives of humans
Yeah, he wasn't a good guy. Just represented original point of view compared to most of villains, perhaps because be was a Rock Human
The values he followed were way different than those non-Rock Humans had
hes basically an unstoppable train in a sense
he goes his own way, and if something gets in the way, there is no stopping
Not all Rock humans have the same values and part 8 clearly shows that dividing them in 2 groups
yeah true, but that still doesnt mean they'd have the same values as humans
The ones that want the fruit to sell it and get money
And those that wanted the fruit to turn it into medicine to u know.... money!
I like how, starting from Part 6, every main villain presented some degree of evil, but at the same time felt fresh (not like any generic superevil type of a character)
Enrico Pucci, Funny Valentine, Tooru
Agree, araki got better at writing villans
They had more depth than previous ones
no what, the difference was that some would completely stay away from human society and live their own rock human lives, while others would choose to become the leeches and parasites to society, merely being a part of it for their own gain and nothing else
But I guess at the 80s people had different preferences
thats the 2 groups part 8 divided them in
and honestly i dont think id call a parasite evil necessarily
btu you can def argue that it would be
especially since rock humans dont have a strong natural motivation to be parasites to society
its completely a choice
Rock humans are pathologically apathetic. Tooru did have some emotional connection to Yasuho, but once he had to chose between his goal and Yasuho’s well-being, he easily went back to being a rock human and abandoned her.
i loved the concept of rock humans honestly, way better than pillar men
What mfs saw while leaving astroworld
When was that stated? Aisho literally loved a woman to the point of revealing his biggest secret to her
one thing tho that i didnt like about part 8 is how araki decided to describe the part. like you know how part 7 tells you what the story is about in chapter 1, part 8 says its about curses, but hoenstly id much prefer if he called it a story about identity
because the big takeaway from the story is that josuke starts off with no identity, trying to find who he used to be, and in the process he realizes he created an identity for himself, and chooses to stick with this thing he created along the way instead of trying to associate himself with his past life
the story of curses was hoenstly merely a side story that ran on alongside this identity story
@pale moon, Your Stand Rank is now level 5 !
What I dislike in part 8 is the poor management of some characters and the amount of plot points that even tough uninteresting were dropped by araki
Still a great part nevertheless
yeah obv, id put it up there with part 7
but i cant say one is better than the other, because they have very different approaches in so many ways that i dont think theyre very comparable inthat sense
theyre def araki's best work so far tho
i cant believe ive met people who say they got bored of part 7, and then say they only read like 12 chapters
Stated? It was shown. Wu and Tooru kill their own colleague. Tooru literally lead Josuke and Rai to Wu to hide his own cover. Rock human moms leave their babies in the forest to die (and a lot of them do). Damo uses Hato to literally attempt to kill her family. “On rare occasions, they will fall in love with humans of the opposite sex” that is a direct quote, so characters like Aisho are one of those exceptions, but not the rule.
also just because aisho did something that was different than what rock humans would normally do isnt decisive of the whole species
Well you beat me to it, Aisho was just build different
just like humans, rock humans are complex beings, there can certainbly be exceptions to those facts
the same way we have humans who do things that are different to what humans are normally meant to do
like goddamn cannibals lol
But that goes to show they can indeed change and so their mere race doesn't forgive Tooru actions, he is still a villan in my book
That’s why I said he was the exception not the rule. Rock humans are complex but there are definitive characteristics and statistics that the story does tell us about.
sorry didnt read the whole paragraph, thats my bad. i realized after i said what i said
All good
the fact that they can change tho doesnt give way to that, their status quo is still what is described there, tooru was merely falling into that status quo of what rock humans are generally like
just because they can change doesnt mean they strive for change, some may randomly change along the way, and theyre the outliers
so in rock human logic, if you were to start being a productive person in human society and be a good person by human standards, youd be an outsider and weird to other rock humans
they wouldnt understand that rock human's reasons most likely
if anything ti may also not be a change, but rather a mental upbringing, maybe aisho had some sort of connection to humans from a younger age that gave him a soft spot to humans along the way. thats no different than, say, becoming sensitive to people yelling at you because you were yelled at a lot as a child
yeah some people just hate humanity as a whole because of their upbringing
I like this idea
it rarely happens but it can
A good reason why he even trusted a human to tell her his secret
yeah since thats quite a serious thing, rock humans dont seem to normally reveal themselves to humans under normal circumstances
they gain nothing from it
if anything they put what relationships and friendships they have with humans at risk
also i wish araki called em rock humanoids instead of rock humans, because i feel the term rock humans puts them somehow closer related to humans than they really are. they have no connection to humans in reality
tfw theyre different at a mollecular level and not just DNA
I was kinda surprised when I read that part in JoJolion about its story being about mystery, as if mystery was dominant theme in the whole Part (while technically it was one of several themes)
wait where did it mention mystery? could it have been a translation difference?
i only ever remember the manga describing the story as one about breaking curses
Ahh yes, this one. My bad, sorry. I was thinking about the part you are talking about
all good, and yeah i never got that, maybe araki wanted to do more with the concept of curses in the beginning
Sorry once again, hehe. Mystery was also one of themes appearing in Part 8, however the part that directly mentioned the leading theme of the whole Part was tbe one you have mentioned
yeah and i actually loved the aspect of mystery in part 8, it always felt like the main characters in other parts knew more things than the reader/viewer at most times, and i really liked being on the same level information-wise with the main character for once
where you absolutely know nothing, just the same as josuke
The one about JoJolion's story being a story about breaking a curse (or curses; I don't remember whether it was singular or plural)
overall tho id attribute the story that connects most with josuke as the main one, and that being the story about identity imo
I think curses and blessings are pretty important. Johnny was affected by a curse in the story and Josuke is carried in the plot as a blessing . Jobin’s main motivation for the fruit is a curse and he is a dominant character is the story. I’d say in this story, Josuke’s arc is identity and the Higashikata’s arc are curses and power.
Exactly. By that, the level of immersion was really high and you could go through the story as if you were one of characters
yeah i agree, but id have to choose josuke's arc as being more important since hes the main character
the same way part 7 had many themes but johnny's was the main
Oh yea fo sho
But it all tied in nicely, the curse was broken the same time Josuke decided he was his own person
he really does learn how to walk, both figuratively as a person and literally
They kinda intertwined a bit
yep, thats exactly why i like the way it all worked out, the two themes were consistent throughout
reminds me of FLCL and how that anime also had 2 themes going on and interwining throughout the story
Yes, from that point of view both Part 8 and Part 7 were strongly focused on breaking curses of some sort
Johnny's accident was also a misfortune, kinda
well youd have to call it 7.5 at that point, because the incident with johnny was a post-part 7 thing
Hats off to Araki for tackling self-discovery, romance, family drama, supernatural beings, and the strive for power all in the same story
He wasn't okay for that guy waiting in the queue, but noone could think about that kind of drastic reaction to Johnny's rude behavior
thats why part 7 and 8 are truly his best works yet
excited to see what he'll do in part 9
oh you were talking about that incident, thought you meant the one regarding his death after part 7
wsg
Amen to that brother
the incident that paralyzed johnny was to show us just how far he was from where he needed to be as a person. he was rude, arrogant, and spoiled, and throughout part 7 he learned through comradery, determination, and suffering to become a better person
No no, I meant the incident that made Johnny disabled and confined to a wheelchair
i mean hell, the whole scene with him learning how to mount a horse as a paraplegic really was the start of his quest for bettering himself
This one was also a misfortune, though. Unless we assume that Johnny was actually assassinated by a Rock Human, heh
nah just the powers that be
Yup. Pretty drastic, but very mature way to show how a character might develop
Johnny before SBR and Johnny in the last chapter were basically two completely diffefent people
yeah i mean he pushed his luck, got everything taken from him, and just when he was on his way to giving up and adjusting to his life of being a paraplegic, gyro came along and gave him inspiraton to not go down that sad miserable path
i absolutely loved the companionship between johnny and gyro
my fav scene with them was after the fight with the 12 men where they lost everything they had worked for, and johnny cries in the cold snowy chicago streets and gyro offers him the only thing they had, some wine
ah man, you really should
part 7 took the friendship between the joestars and zeppelis to the whole different level
Dude I’ve been meaning to but the first chapters had me slumped
yeah i know i know, the part starts off a bit slow
I’ll get to it prolly during Christmas break
you dont even get the concept of stands until quite a few chapters in
oh that made me remember a BIG araki forgot moment
in part 7 the cowboy guy is the first dude to come up with the term stands, and he only comes up with it infront of johnny and gyro, but then all of a sudden every stand user and their mom uses the term "stands" to describe their powers
idk why i forgot the cowboy man's name
but yeah in part 7 stand is just a term coined by one guy in a secluded setting, no one else has any reason to call their ability stands unless he just happened to call it the same thing that others called it before
Mountain Tim
yes mountain tim
i know one more somewhat significant araki forgot moment that no one seems to talk about, but i dont even have evidence for it so i cant really explain it other than just from memory
it was in part 6
im p sure there was a point where the only one to have ever entered emporio's room was hermes, but then there is a scene where emporio talks to jolyne in a way where hes assuming she knows very well exactly what his stand does, as if she has been in his room. but it might be my memory playing tricks on me
@pale moon, Your Stand Rank is now level 6 !
id have to go digging thru chapters to find it, but the issue is they happen in 2 completely different chapters so id have to find them separately
Part 6 felt like it was missing a huge chunk of squad bonding
oh yeah definitely, there was lots of potential
Ermes never interacts with Weather then has a panel dedicated to showing her crying at his death
also apparently i accidentally completely skipped over everyone's least favorite arc in stone ocean when reading the manga (i think it was the most hated)
which is the prison break arc
First example that came into mind
Hm?
Yo Yo Ma? Dragon’s Dream?
Also how
There wasn't an arc where they actually left the prison
I love Yo Yo Ma
That's kind of glossed over
no it was the one right before they escape from prison, i believe it was a stand that did something to the effect of making people's memory span be very short?
Also I feel like part of the problem is how early Foo Fighters dies
And how fast paced and split up things are between JHL and Heavy Weather
well theres a reason why part 7 and 8 exist
araki didnt like how he ended things with part 6, right?
Araki wrote them
no
that wasnt the reason?
Araki liked how he ended Part 6 and felt as though he reached his peak. He wanted a fresh start
So he literally just started from scratch
It’s only natural for a reboot after 17 years
ahhh makes sense
Yeah people don't really consider that it went on for so long
from what ive read he was fine with 6s conclusion he just saw 7-8 as an opportunity to return to his roots,in a different continuity of course
Part 7 is fresh, it's probably why most people seem to like it
agreed
Oh Jailhouse Lock? Everyone loves that one it was great. It’s Dragons Dream that the majority are indifferent about
part 7 is that fresh batch of strawberries you find in the grocery store during summer
Jail House Lock was very good
Miu Miu is a hot piece of ass
Feels like a better Clash and Takking head in some ways tbh
“Hot”, “ass”
Also Jail House Lock is a scary looking Stand
oh yeah thats the one, i wasnt sure if people liked it or not but i somehow skipped the entire thing, idek how i managed to make a mistake like that
It gave me anxiety my first time reading
Especially with the exposed brain thing
And the body design
And the sharp knife arms
i cant wait to see whitesnake shooting a glock
I just liked watching Emporio nearly electrocute himself to death
The annoying thing is it was one of the first parts to have more entertaining interactions
And there’s really just not many
Although SBR and JoJolion do it really well
yeah like the part where jolyne describes F.F's behavior as "queer"? yeah, loved that one lmao
She originally just called her gay too
based araki 
I like the group in part 3 because they were all in it together and were always communicating to each other and having banter
Yeah 3, 4 and 5 had good ones but I think it was best in 7 and 8
Did kak and avdol even ever talk to each other
like once
fuck now youre asking the real questions... did they? i cant recall
yeahhhh wait a minute
Maybe like one time
if they did it was probably like one sentence
i dont even remember a frame where theyre the only ones in it
Sometimes but Kak and Polnareff had the funny handshake so it makes up for that
Coincidentally as many times as Daiya and Jobin talked
once :kek
good cause da*ya doesn’t deserve conversations
you talkin about the girl who tried to manipulate an older guy to fall in love with her, while she was a minor- wait nvm i just checked the age of consent in japan
I wonder if people would hate Daiya more if she was a guy
Also the fact that both of them got put out of commission didn’t exactly help
age of consent makes it legal but it doesn’t make it okay
They do and he’s called Joshu more or less
yeah i dont think it was okay either
i just think its weird how all of a sudden it was swept under the rug and daiya's manipulative personality never came into play again
What she did was basically entrapment and manipulation
gaslighting to the extreme 👀
and attempted rape too
going as far as removing memories
He stand is gaslighting incarnate
Similar to “Evil” (?) Norisuke
norisuke wasnt really an evil guy tho, he seemed ominous at first and i think he was portrayed from josuke's minimal point of view, you can see how his portrayal changed after josuke actually got to know him
Hato probably stays the most consistent
yeah true
This is what I think too
I guess
pls
i think the whole higashikata family seeming evil thing was just from josuke's point of view
Pls fix
he had reasons to be suspicious of them
kinda like 👍 and you saw joshu doing the same thing during vitamin c arc president president of president
Jobin was the only consistently evil one
jobin was an idealist, while norisuke was more traditional
Joshu is the exception to the evil rule as he was a chad all along
however jobin wasnt evil to the core, he clearly felt a lot of remorse right after he made the mistake of attempting to murder norisuke
Jobin wasn’t jojo villain evil he was just extremely misguided
All because of how his mom influenced him
he had his reasons to believe what he believed was right
jobin did think that josuke did a lot for me today on a day off and august park center park park
@minor ore, Your Stand Rank is now level 4 !
And then Kaato randomly came back, acted kinda off, killed Tooru and died
Beautiful
Lmao
also im realizing how i might be coming off as an apologist because ive done nothing but try to excuse villains of being evil, but thats really just because i dont like jumping to calling people evil or good, i like understand the reasons people have for doing what they do
This was the moment
Where he went from happy tree climber to becoming modern Jobin
returns from prison
murders main villain
dies
:chad:
you’re literally an apologist though
you should probably cut that out cause you’re annoying
But kid Jobin is still evil for not trying to teach Hato not to put dolls in her mouth smh
seriously please stop being annoying
he didnt even let her borrow his roller skates smh
no we just dont see eye to eye, and if you find me annoying then block me so you dont have to hear my takes lol
it’s satire
Truly Jobin is the pinnacle of evil
damn nevermind then i got got, you seemed quite genuine there lmao
please know that i’m sorry 😢 for your patience to help with us for being serious 🧐 not helping with sonic president
thank you for your kind words that you don’t want me too lol yeah that’s why you buddy
am i having an aneurysm or do those 2 sentences make no sense
Suicune stop shit posting 🦧
And it all happened during summer vacation
Yeah I’m thinking kino
i mean it makes sense to me
but everyday is summer vacation
how come your literacy is so meh???? you’re a silly goose!
reminds me of kei nijimura 🐵🙈🙉🙊
Actually, sad tree climber is more accurate due to his disease and his bullies (one of whom he epically burned)
the same way a schizophrenic's thoughts make sense to only themselves
jojo is good
🙊
oh my god, just realized the 3 monkey emojis are already on discord. i went as far as to add them to a server so i could have those emojis
blind life
yeah but the 4th one is commonly forgotten, and also its hard to make it into an emoji ngl
funny jojolion moment !!!!! 1 2 3 GO
it would be the only one who has to show the full body for it to make sense
JOSHU FUNNY!!!!!
what strain you on?
He’s on a different plane of existence atm
thats that crackhead OG strain
Do people in the time of JJL believe that the SBR was a legend
yes
they don’t know it happened!!!!!!
literally no idea
i dont think the people in JJL even know of SBR, they just know about johnny's legend
but that’s before the new rokakaka
probably not since there was a record book of it
Well Norisuke’s and Gappy now know about it
Chapter 11 has the SBR record book
and the equivalent exchange
And Norisuke is the great grandson of a racer from SBR
they didn’t know!
Who used his money to establish the fruit company
in that case then the people who've seen the record book know that it was a historical thing that happened, but i dont think anyone else knows of SBR otherwise
wasn’t that a rumor though?
So not even the Joestar family knows about it?
we don’t know for sure
I don’t think so
hey
joestar family likely knows
depends how far down the line of the joestar family youre talking
Like would Yoshikage Kira know about it
george for sure knew, we dont know if joseph did
assuming holly told him maybe
Joseph probably does since he’s met Lucy Steel
right right, lucy steel wouldveb probably told him about SBR
He also briefly mentioned Rina and Johnny in 109? 110?
in that case its whether or not holly knows, which we dont know
but as far as joseph, we can infer he probably knows about SBR as a real thing that happened
she’s in a coma
Actually scratch that kira would’ve had to check the record book to edit out keis name so he should definitely know
she doesn’t know
This is past tense we’re talking about
she had a whole life before the coma thing
We’re talking about before that
Before Gappy evolved
Imagine Phantom blood and SBR swapped universes
like if the characters did?
Yea
well assuming johnny would be a piece of shit at the beginning of part 1, i dont think its very likely he'd suddenly become a good guy after watching his whole family die, i think its much more likely he'd become more like dio than anything after seeing all that
johnny would probably be an edgy "anti-hero" if he were in part 1 instead of jonathan
But Johnny would be British instead of American
oh right, theres no way he'd even survive the fire then nvm
assuming diego is dio in this situation, he'd just have to make it really hard for johnny to escape the house fire
which wouldnt be too hard to achieve
Just tip him over lol
Well Diego is just a Dio with positive outcomes so I can’t assume he’d be as bad as Dio
break his wheelchair and tie his arms together
So Gyro would be Will
well diego didnt really have a positive outcome, he was jsut a tamer version of dio. he had shitty things happen in his life but he chose to just keep to himself as a person due to that, instead of becoming a complete asshole to everyone
he became sigma
Only for him in the end to get run over by a train
atleast he can rest easy knowing his alternate universe self almost finished the race
@pale moon, Your Stand Rank is now level 7 !
or wait did he finish the race? i cant remember when diego's alt universe version died
And died to a 14 year old lol
a 14 year old who literally searched and found the real diego's body, took the head, and carried it to the alt diego
Well just in case Diego in the original universe were to get a stand I’d still say he has THE WORLD
it would make sense, i mean the real diego's stand wasnt even his stand originally
it just became his stand cuz he had jesus' eye when he was under the effect of that dino stand that weird environmentalist dude had
extreme environmentalism in jojo lol
i really hope they bring back dio's VA for diego in part 7, if they choose to animate part 7. would love to hear him say scary monsters and USHAA
also can we take a second to appreciate how observative johnny is of other people's stands? not only does he figure out so many stands easily, but he solves the mystery behind the world rather quickly too
and the world is probably one of the hardest stands to understand as a normal person who cant see through the time stop
He even figured out the whole government searching for the corpse plot all the way during the wired fight
johnny wasnt given a lot of credit for his observativeness but hes really good at that
wasnt he also the one who figured out mandom?
or was that gyro
Iirc ringo just told them how it worked
oh right
ye. it was gyro who killed ringo
But he’s usually quick at deducing stand abilities,cool character trait
gyro goated
yeah but im sure wetal is right, i remember ringo did tell them what his stand does
gyro goated, johnny goated, their friendship goated
fruitiest part
also one thing people dont talk about much is how d4c loves to choke people
in the lovetrain arc there are so many panels with him choking people
SBR and SC are peak masculinity
what Sc
Part 3
stardust crusaders
ok
also its ironic that you talk about fruitiness when your pfp is pucci 
Missing out
everyone in here who has read part 8 has nothing but the best to say about part 8, idk what youre talking about
oh god, yeah go read boruto and then get confused by the anime since they dont work the same way
agreed, many mistakes were made
nonetheless youre missing out, part 8 is very good
but ill agree its not for everyone
thats what they all say
if you really like how jojo parts normally play out, you may not like the way jojolion is different in its pacing and just the way the story plays out
its different in a lot of ways
so i get why there are also people who tried reading jojolion and couldnt get through
but if youre open-minded to something new, its def a great read
Yeah some people say it’s weird but we’re just so used to the bizarreness we don’t realize it
I dont
thats the thing
W response tho
in the case that you dont like how jojo parts normally play out, maybe youd like jojolion's approach
Is it better than SBR?
this is what i have to say to that
Yeah the stand of the week format was pretty much dropped for the most part. It actually feels like there’s a reason for a fight to be going on right now
(For the most part)
Emphasis
yeah, im sure so many people got bored of how part 3 did that to death
