I think we can all agree Jobin has the best design in the whole part

I respect your wrong opinion

#

is this part good?

alpine trench
#

It is, but its far from perfect

#

Its the part with the most dropped plot points

minor ore
#

it's not an "ordinary jojo"

#

sorry for mistakes im russian 🇷🇺

#

There are many others that I doubt will have continuation. I would even consider them plotholes

analog arrow
#

nah araki forgets way less comapared to other mangakas like togashi

alpine trench
#

Still forgets nevertheless

#

Sometimes people forget araki is 62 just because he looks 30

There could be some answers to part 8 plotholes like Josefumi star birthmark

#

gladly araki said gay rights and made up some shit about the sandal

alpine trench
#

Araki could have easily say Josefumi was a illegitimate child of Joseph but he must have forgot ¯_(ツ)_/¯

civic leaf
#

What is this about

heavy ledge
#

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?

granite pewter
#

I am a rock, crush him with cum!

alpine trench
#

What im saying is that araki never explained the birthmark and after its first appearence it was never seen again

hard meteor
#

he didnt forget,he just refused to give a solid answer and named him after a sandle

alpine trench
#

But not like other mistakes in part 8 he could have solved it pretty easily

heavy ledge
#

it could have been easily dropped like the flashback to the future man

junior coral
#

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

hard meteor
#

yeah

alpine trench
#

Yeah like I said

junior coral
#

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

heavy ledge
#

its not reused because the drawing is different but it was an idea at that time that was never brought up again

junior coral
#

So instead of looking too deeply into it it’s better to take it at face value

heavy ledge
#

i mean, its not they copy pasted the same drawing

junior coral
#

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

hard meteor
#

^

heavy ledge
#

the only thing im hoping to get elaborated is when it is due

alpine trench
#

I doubt alot of people are waiting for an answer in part 9

junior coral
#

Some are

hard meteor
#

ive seen a fair amount coping for it to be answered in 9

alpine trench
#

People do be coping alot i guess

#

I wonder in what point in time part 9 will be

junior coral
#

I’m gonna guess present day

#

10 years after JJL doesn’t sound too bad

So the dio's in general talking about their relationship with pucci arent roleplaying?

heavy ledge
alpine trench
junior coral
#

Yes?

junior coral
#

But they're not supposed to be doing that in there either lol

alpine trench
#

Whats the reason tho

#

Roleplaying seems totally innocent

junior coral
#

These are discussion channels, for discussion, not playing

#

And roleplayers are really fucking annoying 😄

rugged sun
#

And yeah like greeny said this server is for discussing the show not having gay sex with Dio

junior coral
#

Lmao

alpine trench
#

Idk man something being anoying doesn't seem like a reason to be banned

#

@alpine trench, Your Stand Rank is now level 13 !

#

Everyone is a Jojo fan here and they are all anoying lmao

junior coral
#

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

alpine trench
#

Im calmly protesting

junior coral
alpine trench
#

Lets not pretend all people do in these channels is discuss

junior coral
#

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

alpine trench
#

Fine I get it, mods find it annoying so they banned it

junior coral
#

Everyone else finds it annoying

alpine trench
#

Except roleplayers i guess

junior coral
#

... who everyone finds annoying

heavy ledge
#

instead of roleplayers they should ban blue names

junior coral

^^

alpine trench

Agree ban them all

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

hard meteor
#

you uh,you do realize theres other stands that can be seen by regualr people right?

delicate burrow
#

Jojo has those problems sometimes.

hard meteor
#

this isnt a new concept lmao

delicate burrow
#

Its normal tho

nimble bough
#

have you ever heard of stand types

hard meteor
#

its not even a problem unless you just skipped most of the manga

whole finch
#

This bouta be good

pale moon
#

mayeb i didnt pay attention to that discrepancy until wonder of u

delicate burrow
hard meteor
pale moon
#

ok but is there an explanation to that? why make a rule only to have stands that break that rule?

heavy ledge
#

whats a manga

pale moon
#

hey man i was probably high half the time that i was reading jojolion

minor ore
#

oh based

delicate burrow

# pale moon ok but is there an explanation to that? why make a rule only to have stands that...

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.

doesnt yukako's hair count as a stand and people just see her hair regularly?

hard meteor

yes

because her ability is to control her hair

there it is then

nimble bough
#

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

i think youre insane

pale moon

is english your second language

delicate burrow
pale moon
#

fair enough, shut your trap is a common expression for shut your mouth

delicate burrow
#

I know tho

#

Just seems like a weird expression

pale moon
#

yeah not way too common, especially not in modern slang

minor ore
#

most people will just say stfu

delicate burrow
#

yes

pale moon
#

you know i think one of my fav stands from part 8 had to have been awaking 3 leaves

delicate burrow
#

That is based. No one talks about it

pale moon
#

stand literally creates vectors, its actually quite viable since it just deals with common physics

delicate burrow
#

remember when that rock thing was inside Josuke's eyes

#

That always felt weird

pale moon
#

was it actually supposed to be always moving around or was it a discrepancy in drawing?

#

cuz ik holly's rocks did

delicate burrow
#

I don't really know

pale moon
#

im guessing it works the same as the ones on holly's body

delicate burrow
#

Maybe its an error or like a retcon?

pale moon
#

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

delicate burrow
#

I liked all Holly's

pale moon

fair enough, i just liked that she played an important role in part 8

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

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

minor ore
#

What the fuck was his problem

#

Yeah he wasn't actually a good guy

pale moon
#

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

minor ore
#

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

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

junior coral

No chance at all

id like it to be called joshu's sexual assault allegations

dull chasm
junior coral
#

Yeah it’s not really a valid “theory”

dull chasm
#

A spin-off could work, indeed

junior coral

That would be like saying I think Koichi is going to be the protagonist of Part 5

pale moon
#

which he was

#

he appeared in episode 1

#

he was def the main character

hard meteor

not even a theory,why would araki make a part 9 with a character that isnt a joestar or a jojo

Joshu as protagonist LOL

I wouldnt care

tame plover

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

He gave Lisa Lisa a birthmark once also in some art he made

# prisma latch I like chocolate disco

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

dull chasm
pale moon
#

i love how araki took as may things as he could to a different path with part 8

#

especially wonder of u's ability

dull chasm
#

Yup

pale moon
#

and i love how tooru isnt just some big bad guy

prisma latch
#

Me too

pale moon
#

he does what he does for his own wants, and his path just happened to be one that needed to collide with josuke's

prisma latch
#

but his stand is very very good

alpine trench
#

He wanted to improve the medicine to sell it to the rich tho

#

No matter how many he had to kill

dull chasm
#

Yes, Tooru was really original not only as JJBA main villain, but as a main villain in general

alpine trench
#

Seems pretty evil to me

pale moon
pale moon
#

id describe it more as having an indifference towards the lives of humans

dull chasm
alpine trench
#

He literally kills Poor Tom

#

More like indifference to life

dull chasm
#

The values he followed were way different than those non-Rock Humans had

pale moon
#

hes basically an unstoppable train in a sense

#

he goes his own way, and if something gets in the way, there is no stopping

alpine trench
#

Not all Rock humans have the same values and part 8 clearly shows that dividing them in 2 groups

pale moon
#

yeah true, but that still doesnt mean they'd have the same values as humans

alpine trench
#

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!

dull chasm
#

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

alpine trench
#

Agree, araki got better at writing villans

dull chasm
#

They had more depth than previous ones

pale moon
alpine trench
#

But I guess at the 80s people had different preferences

pale moon
#

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

minor ore
# alpine trench More like indifference to life

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.

pale moon
#

i loved the concept of rock humans honestly, way better than pillar men

granite pewter
#

What mfs saw while leaving astroworld

alpine trench
pale moon
#

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

kind owlBOT
#

@pale moon, Your Stand Rank is now level 5 !

alpine trench
#

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

pale moon
#

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

minor ore
# alpine trench When was that stated? Aisho literally loved a woman to the point of revealing hi...

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.

pale moon
#

also just because aisho did something that was different than what rock humans would normally do isnt decisive of the whole species

alpine trench
#

Well you beat me to it, Aisho was just build different

pale moon
#

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

alpine trench
#

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

minor ore
pale moon
minor ore
#

All good

pale moon
#

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

solar zenith
solar zenith
#

it rarely happens but it can

minor ore
#

A good reason why he even trusted a human to tell her his secret

pale moon
#

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

minor ore
#

I think it’s because they’re visually indistinguishable

#

From regular humans

dull chasm
pale moon
#

i only ever remember the manga describing the story as one about breaking curses

dull chasm
pale moon
#

all good, and yeah i never got that, maybe araki wanted to do more with the concept of curses in the beginning

dull chasm
#

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

pale moon
#

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

dull chasm
pale moon
#

overall tho id attribute the story that connects most with josuke as the main one, and that being the story about identity imo

minor ore
dull chasm
pale moon
#

the same way part 7 had many themes but johnny's was the main

minor ore
#

Oh yea fo sho

pale moon
#

which was his theme of "learning how to walk"

#

which btw i love the symbolism of

minor ore
#

But it all tied in nicely, the curse was broken the same time Josuke decided he was his own person

pale moon
#

he really does learn how to walk, both figuratively as a person and literally

minor ore
#

They kinda intertwined a bit

pale moon
#

reminds me of FLCL and how that anime also had 2 themes going on and interwining throughout the story

dull chasm
#

Johnny's accident was also a misfortune, kinda

pale moon
#

well youd have to call it 7.5 at that point, because the incident with johnny was a post-part 7 thing

minor ore
dull chasm
#

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

pale moon
#

excited to see what he'll do in part 9

pale moon
minor ore
#

wsg

minor ore
pale moon
#

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

dull chasm
pale moon
#

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

dull chasm
pale moon
#

nah just the powers that be

dull chasm
#

Johnny before SBR and Johnny in the last chapter were basically two completely diffefent people

pale moon
#

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

minor ore
#

Sounds awesome

#

(I didn’t read part 7)

pale moon
#

ah man, you really should

#

part 7 took the friendship between the joestars and zeppelis to the whole different level

minor ore
#

Dude I’ve been meaning to but the first chapters had me slumped

pale moon
#

yeah i know i know, the part starts off a bit slow

minor ore
#

I’ll get to it prolly during Christmas break

pale moon
#

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

minor ore
pale moon
#

yes mountain tim

minor ore
#

I almost called him mountain Tom

#

Cause of poor Tom

pale moon
#

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

kind owlBOT
#

@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

minor ore
pale moon
#

oh yeah definitely, there was lots of potential

sinful bramble
pale moon
#

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

junior coral
#

Hm?

sinful bramble
#

Also how

junior coral
#

There wasn't an arc where they actually left the prison

minor ore
#

I love Yo Yo Ma

junior coral
#

That's kind of glossed over

pale moon
sinful bramble
#

And how fast paced and split up things are between JHL and Heavy Weather

pale moon
#

well theres a reason why part 7 and 8 exist

#

araki didnt like how he ended things with part 6, right?

sinful bramble
pale moon
#

that wasnt the reason?

junior coral
#

So he literally just started from scratch

sinful bramble
#

It’s only natural for a reboot after 17 years

junior coral

Part 7 is fresh, it's probably why most people seem to like it

part 7 is that fresh batch of strawberries you find in the grocery store during summer

Jail House Lock was very good

junior coral

Miu Miu is a hot piece of ass

Because Jolyne is in it lawl

Also Jail House Lock is a scary looking Stand

pale moon
#

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

# sinful bramble 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

sinful bramble
solar zenith
#

yeah true

minor ore
pale moon
#

i think the whole higashikata family seeming evil thing was just from josuke's point of view

minor ore
pale moon
#

he had reasons to be suspicious of them

minor ore
#

kinda like 👍 and you saw joshu doing the same thing during vitamin c arc president president of president

solar zenith
#

Jobin was the only consistently evil one

pale moon
#

jobin was an idealist, while norisuke was more traditional

solar zenith
#

Joshu is the exception to the evil rule as he was a chad all along

pale moon
#

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

solar zenith

Jobin wasn’t jojo villain evil he was just extremely misguided

he had his reasons to believe what he believed was right

so not really

right right, lucy steel wouldveb probably told him about SBR

in that case its whether or not holly knows, which we dont know

like if the characters did?

molten rose
#

Yea

pale moon
#

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

minor ore
#

Still crippled tho lmao

#

Didn’t they treat cripples like shit back then

molten rose
#

But Johnny would be British instead of American

pale moon
#

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

minor ore
#

Just tip him over lol

molten rose
#

Well Diego is just a Dio with positive outcomes so I can’t assume he’d be as bad as Dio

pale moon
#

break his wheelchair and tie his arms together

molten rose
#

So Gyro would be Will

pale moon
#

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

molten rose
#

Only for him in the end to get run over by a train

pale moon
#

atleast he can rest easy knowing his alternate universe self almost finished the race

kind owlBOT
#

@pale moon, Your Stand Rank is now level 7 !

pale moon
#

or wait did he finish the race? i cant remember when diego's alt universe version died

hard meteor
#

And died to a 14 year old lol

pale moon
#

a 14 year old who literally searched and found the real diego's body, took the head, and carried it to the alt diego

molten rose
#

Well just in case Diego in the original universe were to get a stand I’d still say he has THE WORLD

pale moon
#

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

hard meteor
#

He even figured out the whole government searching for the corpse plot all the way during the wired fight

pale moon
#

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

hard meteor
#

Iirc ringo just told them how it worked

pale moon

oh right

sonic hollow
#

ye. it was gyro who killed ringo

But he’s usually quick at deducing stand abilities,cool character trait

yeah but im sure wetal is right, i remember ringo did tell them what his stand does

#

gyro goated, johnny goated, their friendship goated

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

Is it better than SBR?
