There's many different opinions between JoJo fans and it's cool, but sometimes I feel like these people follow JoJo for the completely wrong reasons. When people say stupid shit like
>part 2 sucks because it has "a bad story"
>Chase OP is just muh edgy naruto copy
>part 4 is boring
just make me wonder, do they even understand what makes JoJo special?

Bloody Stream is still the best OP, followed closely by Stand Proud
Walk Like An Egyptian is still the best ED, followed closely by Roundabout and Last Train Home
Next JJL chapter will be my first time reading it day one with you guys. I hope it's a good one.
Nothing will beat Roundabout as the ED though.
I also think Last Train Home is better than Walk Like an Egyptian.
yes, because it is bizzare, and part 4/8 are not bizzare, they are just boring, especially 8
It's going to get wild man I can't wait.
I stopped reading so long ago, chapters 50 or so.
GER GAVE GIO THE POWER TO STOP DIAVOLO TO SAVE HIS LIFE BECAUSE GE'S ABILITY IS TO GIVE LIFE, THEREFORE GER GIVING GIO THE PERFECT COUNTER MAKES SENSE BECAUSE HE WAS GIVING GIO "LIFE"
I'm not an expert on JJBA by any means, but I've watched the anime through this last 4/5 months, and I'm finally up to the airing episodes. For me, it probably goes:
3>1>4>2
I can't judge 5 yet as I haven't finished it yet, but I'm enjoying it so far. I love Mista, and I like Narancia's totally stupid looking stand. I enjoy the stand names a lot, even if they are a bit on the nose. King Crimson being the best example so far.
I think Joseph in P2 is the best Jojo, and Speedwagon in P1 is the best JoBro. I think P1 tells a really interesting, self contained story and I liked seeing the origins of Dio. It also has the best ED in Roundabout. P2 has Joseph, and the Gods are fucking fantastic, with Kars having the best death scene in any anime ever. I will admit, I feel P2 is a little forgettable, at least compared to the other parts.
P3 was where I thought I'd hate it, but I ended up liking it more than any other part. I liked the unique and interesing stands, and how, outside of The World, there wasn't really a power ranking, it was just unusual ways of approaching the enemy stands. D'Arby stands out as a really well thought out one. Plus, I think DIO in P3 is probably the most menacing villain in any anime I've ever seen. The tease every few episodes really kept me going.
P4 was okay. I liked how, for the most part, it was just normal guys doing normal things, but with stands. I think Killer Queen is my favourite stand design, even if its third ability was a little difficult to understand
Like I said, I'm still pretty new to Jojo, but that's how I feel so far!
pleb taste tier animeonly so obvious it hurts
What if instead of being the Joestar bloodline they were the Rockstar bloodline?
Rocky Rockstar sounds better than Jonathan Joestar.
Same. Hype because 8 is my favorite so far. Just hope the ending doesn't get completely fucked into a 6 volume arc that progressively ruins every single thing you like about the story in a fucking release cycle that last upwards of 2 years for it to mercifully fucking end, like what happened with SBR. Thank fuck I wasn't reading JoJo back in those days.
this is such a l.eddit post
It was the OP of one of the last threads, it should be somewhere in the archive
Everybody has their most and least favourite parts, and we're in Yea Forums, where you don't say "I don't like this", you say "this is utter irredeemable shit".
I appreciate Jojo for what it was when it was released.
People hate part 1 or 2 for their cookie-cut characters, or hate part 3 for boring stands.
But in reality, if you read/watch them from start to end, you appreciate every part for what it represents.
In part 1, the conflict between Dio and Jonathan, the contrast between them, and the pure heartedness of Jojo.
In part 2, the cleverness of Joseph, the buildup of the relationship between him and Ceasar, interesting, unique villains, each with different, vivid character.
In part 3, the introduction of stands, the final conflict between Dio and Joestars, Polnareff, and some antagonists.
Etc etc
Each part, when it was made, was top-notch. Now, you might think part 1 is boring, but if you cast aside that bias, you'll realize they're all great for different reasons.
>t. rockman
chase is actually decent sounding the descendents/dead kennedys style punk rock
>SCfags
While I have my most and least liked parts, I appreciate that the contrast between each part and the next makes reading JoJo really refreshing.
Part 1 turns to shit when the fighting actually starts.
I'd read a whole part of drama and comedy like Jonathan and Dio's childhoods and adulthood.
OPINION ALERT:
Part 7 is the best part.
The point is not that JoJo is cool because it's whacky, it's what it does with the whacky concepts it has to create real intrigue, tension, character growth, etc. 8 and 4 are literally the best parts but let's take part 3 and see what actually makes it a great classic
>The intrigue of DIO, the seductive devil that charmed everyone he came across (including the fucking main cast) and defied shounen manga odds back when he killed off the fucking Part 1 protag. Oh, you guys have Stands, that's cute. He has the best Stand, by far, and you have to face him at the end, he who can control the world
>Along the way you make friends, see different countries, have moments to relax and enjoy the moment, but also times when you get ambushed and have to think on your feet, and slowly get to start loving the people you're on this road with.
>The Stand powers are set ups for cool encounters to make you wonder which of the main cast will have the personality to outwit that Stand and play against its weaknesses
You can look at the flaws in the story (and there are many) that counteract the pillars of what made Stardust Crusaders good, but they're still the foundation of the enjoyment nonetheless. Like, the story does have a lot of Stand fights, but it's all about what revolves around those fights, not just "woah whacky powers and fighting!".
Basically you have to always look at things in the way of, what are the foundations of this story, what are the pillars? "Bizarre" is not a pillar, and imo 4 and 8 have the pillars I value the most, the tension and intrigue is fucking sky high, as mystery is one of its main pillars.
Honestly I like the drama portions of Jojo more. That's initially why I disliked when it just turned into a series of stand battles with pieces of narrative intertwined. Give me some Dio being a bratty kid. Give me more of Gio navigating the underworld. Give me some Okuyasu trying out for the basketball team idk
obligatory viewing

This is the correct opinion. Fucking hate people who watch JoJo for the 'Jo-Jokes' and 'cuz it's weird'.
>Part 1 turns to shit when the fighting actually starts.
That happens almost every single time. The direct fights are the worst thing about JoJo.
But when they're "facing off" in more asymmetric ways and it's basically a Victorian drama that reminds you of the Count of Monte Cristo, that's when it's rad.
what was the original of this? alien dude not being affected by the arrow?
Nobody actually hates part 2, we just pretended to because the animeonly part 2 fags were extremely cancerous.
Chase has some pretty clever lyrics where the singer can be both interpreted as Josuke or Kira but other than that it's the weakest opening by a long shot.
Part 4 is great.
OH NO NO NO NO
>Jo-Jokes
I don't know if you mean memes specifically but I also feel like the comedy and relationships are often a strong pillar for JoJo, specifically parts 2 and 4. It's one of the things that makes JoJo special for me, that I'm literally grinning ear to ear every time I see Joseph and Shiiza square off or when Josuke comes up with a new way to make money.
I agree though that there's this portion of JoJo fans that are just fucking plebs.
my girlfriend
Araki's autism of stopping the plot just to show/explain something he finds interesting to the reader is almost Tarantinesque
Like how he interrupted the fight with Otoishi to show how his guitar is made with huge details, Rai teaching how to make that dessert, and more.
I wonder what's his reasoning between stuff like that. Is he doing it intentionally to be quirky? Is he really trying to show some cool stuff for the readers? Is it filler?
I think Araki just reads things and wants to put that stuff in his manga. He stopped somewhat with doing the landmark explanations but has replaced those with little pieces of trivia.
>part 2 sucks because it has "a bad story"
Part 2 is amazing and I love the shit out of it.
>Chase OP is just muh edgy naruto copy

Part 8 is the best part
People say they like part 8 the most just because they want to be special
Yeah, but only if the part that follows them is 5.
animeonlys can jump off a cliff
Jotaro dies in part 6
I like it the best because it's been the most interesting and exhilarating part so far. Perfect balance of part 4's SOL and fights that have mostly all have purpose. Also I genuinely have no idea where the plot is going and I love that
I just finished reading Part 8. To be clear, the fight where Josuke is being chased by the "zombies" is meant to be a mirror to the Highway Star fight in Part 4, right? They even both feature a baby carriage, with the only difference being that in one Josuke saves the baby in a super cool manner and in the other one the baby fucking dies and infects him.

One thing I like about Gappy is that unlike Josuke, he don't give a fuck about civilians
It's not Scary Monsters, it's Scaly Monsters.
>Yasuho solo chapter
>One thing I like about Gappy is that unlike Josuke, he don't give a fuck about civilians
It really adds to how "off" he is. It doesn't even seem like "I don't care about them", but more that it never even occurs to him.
>Mood shift: it's not just a relaxed small town where a few teens go to school, a Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town if you will, now a fucking guy that they KNEW died. The lives of Josuke and Kira are gonna be irreversibly intertwined
>The mood shift is shown in the bleak visuals, the song itself and the lyrics
>melancholic shots of a burning photograph of the group as the lyrics talk about something being taken from us, Shigechi plays with his pigeons- a sign of happier times or a memory of a ghost, and Rohan (who was previously our enemy but we now have figured out is his own neutral person AND with his own motivation to hunt down Kira) sees the pigeons take off- we instantly get hit with so many different shifts of our paradigms here, yeah Shigechi was a weirdo and he antagonized Josuke at some point which made him a "bad guy" but now we realize he's a middle schooler and he's fucking dead, same with Rohan being introduced as a bad guy but us now seeing that he's just his own person as he looks out the window for inspiration and the viewer gets to contemplate everything that has happened- this perfectly fits into one of the themes of DIU, that everyone has their own neutral motivations within Morioh and even some of the weirdest scummiest people are just trying to do their best. Same thing with the shot of Yukako who is just trying to find love in her own weird way and Aya, who also gets fucking deaded
>zooming shot on Reimi who suddenly gets visibly upset by seeing someone off camera- the agent of change, Kira, who walked up to her just as the viewer did- a beautiful shot that always makes me remember her tragic story
>Kira is also shown at the end in a silhouette- Josuke is chasing him and desperately reaching out with his hand to grab someone who is unreachable- he doesn't even know what he looks like, especially when he changes faces
Chase is mega kino
>It's a Yasuho cleaning her very dirty ears while complaining about her diarrhea chapter
your girlfriend gave me sticky fingers bro
Reimi was a fucking non-character, prove me wrong.
Chase is objectively bad
I think jojolion is araki's attempt at fixing the dissapointment that was part 4.
the main villain was revealed pretty early and was underwhelming.
there were few deaths and overall not very violent.
no real stakes for a high schooler like josuke, unlike gappy who literally has to deal with being born a few weeks ago, dealing with a dying mother, and simultaneously fighting rock niggers with only a psychotic family, and a suicidal girl backing him up.
jojolion has real tension and raises your curiosity to the max, something araki maybe couldn't pull off with part 4
this
he's not edgy but he's kinda autistic when it comes to empathy, the only things he cares about are holly (purely because both parts of his brain used to) and yasuho and even then he doesnt understand his emotions like when he started crying and when he got boner
he's /ourjojo/
He has Johnny's blood in him. Makes sense how he will kill people in a crowded street and won't care about civilian safety.
what ugly slut
Even Johnny was less of a dick than Gappy.
nice blog
you mean kira's blood
gappy is the most violent and sadistic jojo other than gio who murdered a guy in his first fight
Sometimes it is Tarantino-esque which I find very phony, but most times I think it's to add flavor to the story and create a sense of a real, living world that he's created- like yeah, Bruno and the gang really ARE in real-life Italy, Norisuke-san really does passionately run a gourmet fruit business and he's figured out how to create new lines of products with the conditions of the fruit, liking making parfaits, and so on. When it's better integrated you don't notice it, that's why it can seem phony like Tarantino when you do, but overall I still think it's a good feature of the series.
Is this a meta thread
Switch top and high tier and I agree
He's got Johnny's gunslinger attitude and Kira's cold analytic outlook and his high functioning autism

Seakira > Gappy
Whats the appeal to parts 6 and 7? I dont like westerns and I dont understand the need to go back in time to explain....whatever its trying to explain. Part 6 is just really slow at the moment. I couldnt get past how bad part 5 is with Polpo and him being impossibly round and shape shifting shit without the power of a stand, and then the shitty characters plus Koichi randomly being thrown in
Worst post itt
Worst reply
Maybe just don't read jojo
The reply it deserves
Was it fair for Gappy to call Holly his mom?
The fact his stand remains Soft & Wet is proof his soul is still Josefumi's, with Kira only being some flesh.
I see people saying he got some Killer Queen powers, but I don't know what it is.
In fact, what if Araki does the whole "2 souls in one body" like he explained Diavolo and Doppio again?
What if at the climax he summons Killer Queen out of nowhere? What if he somehow pulled both stands at once? Would it be hype or retarded?
>Yukako who is just trying to find love in her own weird way
Yukako belongs in prison.
part 2 was entertaining on the first viewing but joseph insufferable on subsequent watches
part 2 is literally a "that happened" tumblr post distilled into anime
how can the lyrics work for kira when kira actively states that he hates conflict/strife and avoids seeking it out
What if Gappy becomes Doppio and Kira/Josefumi start calling him
I loved 1-4. Everything made sense and had good continuation. But then fucking plot twists of Dios son but he has black hair, now he has blonde hair. It goes down hill from there
But I asked a question: what is the appeal of parts 6 and 7? Im trying to read them but I'm having a hard time
Why does Yea Forums like them? I genuinely want to know to help get into it
It's literally the best one along with 4. I can see if someone says "oh, I like 4 better" or "oh, I don't know, 8 isn't over yet and I really like the anime adaptation of 2 and 3 a lot", but for someone to HAVE read 8 and decided that it's below 7 and 2, that takes a special kind of pleb.
Let me tell you, 7 is a very good read down the middle when the art is great and the arcs are great, (volumes 9 to 18), but to say SBR, finished, with 24 volumes, is the best JoJo part, and better than 8, is simply fucking reddit incarnate.
Gappy is still genetically half Kira and more importantly needs something to emotionally ground him. He was super upset when he found out he has no history, so it makes sense for him to call her his mom
>I see people saying he got some Killer Queen powers, but I don't know what it is.
Gappy's Soft & Wet has exploding bubbles like this Kira's Killer Queen
>What if at the climax he summons Killer Queen out of nowhere?
I doubt it. Kira may give Stands multiple bullshit powers or transfer Stands, but he's never given someone two Stands at once
"choosing" holly to be his mum was gappy basically becoming "human", he finally showed real emotion and decided he wanted to live for the sake of someone else aka he didn't want to be a weird non person anymore
choosing holly was arbitrary and not based upon who's dick he inherited
IS IT REALLY COOL, IS IT? CAUSE YER MAKING IT SOUND LIKE ITS NOT OKAY.
I almost make posts when people don't like the anime I like, but who cares not everyone is gonna be you. Have the same experience as you, nor take the same shit back from JoJo as you.
Took me a 2nd go through of part 4 to understand it is one of the best parts of JoJo. Part 1-2 were good, and kept me interested for sure. They are both pretty bad though compared to the other parts in all honesty. The only good things were the memes and making the foundation for better story telling in later arcs.
I see it more as he has Josefumi's tenderness, which allows him to be aloof and get along with people and be liked, and Kira's alpha sociopathy, which allows him to tell Norisuke, who kindly lets him live with his family, "listen bitch your grandkid is a little shit and imma fuck him up, now you wit me or nah?"
He is CHAD and to me the most interesting JoJo next to part 4 Josuke
Well no one here has ever said they like part 6. The best thing about part 7 is the relationship between Johnny and Gyro. A lot of people really like Funny Valentine too, but personally I don't and think he's one dimensional.
Honestly, just skip to part 8
>but muh skipping parts
You're honestly not missing out of much story wise since most of it is based on part 8
Stop asking to be spoonfed you super retard. Get out.
>*based on part 4

>it's a Yasuho notices on her computer that her carbon monoxide order has been delayed so she wants to go buy some rope at the mall but all of the girls she knows from school are too busy to go with her so she just stays home and cuts her thighs while looking at Josuke's contact number on her phone chapter
Wonder if he'll show Josefumi's shitty mom again.
what are the chances we get a 3D opening this friday?
>Well no one here has ever said they like part 6
I have. It's one of my favorite parts. One of the best Jojos, one of the best (the best imo) villain, and the stands go off the deep end in being bizarre, which some people hate but I love. It falters at times but so does every other Jojo part.
Part 6 and 7 have actual character development and plot. They're heartwrenching in a way jojo's hasnt been before. The villains are at their most powerful and worse, most relatable/righteous in their motivations. part 7 also starts having most of the stands no longer be punchghosts so you can more easily attribute the actions being done to the character and not the gimp suit robot standing next to them
So, how hard was Yea Forums triggered by this?
zero, the guys who did the 3d openings have moved on to bigger projects
only incels were seething
>was
everyone is still upset by it and waiting for tooru to get his face all soft and wet when gappy finds out
But...they could technically recicle the ASB/EOH models and retexture them to match the anime's look...
Please Davidpro i just want sticky fingers in 3D again
Fair, but most reactions I've seen to part 6 are negative
>Teen girl has had a previous relationship
wow shocking
Yeah you're better for enjoying boring stuff.
fuck off animeonly Narancia, Abbacchio and Bucciarati die, Jotaro dies in part 6, the main villain wins in part 6 and kills everyone and resets the universe
Is this how King Crimson works?

I like him.
There's no wrong way to consume media. You're just a pretentious elitist fuck
Very intensely triggered I hear, but that was their fault for shipping Chad Gappy with Red Flag Red Wrist Yasuho to begin with. I actually enjoy when Araki gives people a sexual history to make them actually like real people and not weirdo fictional virgins- because if you live in real-life you probably realize Norisuke's eldest daughter is probably having casual sex with people she doesn't know for long, and even Yasuho has probably done some stuff with a bunch of guys that were willing to give her attention too- that's literally one of her defining traits that makes her interesting, albeit not desirable. Now if he had written more of this for the male characters it would be even better.
>implying vlc is bad
>most reactions I've seen to part 6 are negative
IMO if the fights at the middle of the part weren't as shitty part 6 would be an easy contender for the best part, it's one of araki's best works and the ending is incredible.
I have hopes that when part 6 gets animated davidpro will improve the shitty parts of the series and make it so the part finally gets the praise it deserves
Hamon > Stands
I'm relatively new to JoJo. I started watching the 2012 series, I think, a month ago, and watched the entirety of it in less than two weeks. I loved it. I absolutely adored it, especially Battle Tendency, with the young, charismatic, and extremely funny, yet super badass at the same time Joseph. Generally, I don't like anime that much, but it made such an impression on me, I couldn't wait to watch Stardust Crusaders - the most iconic JoJo, the JoJo everyone knew, the JoJo that gave birth to all the autistic memes from years ago I didn't get because I didn't know what exactly JoJo was. Basically, the instant I got a chance to watch it in all of its uncensored glory, I jumped right in and didn't think twice.
Now that I'm finished with both of the seasons, I think I'm going to pass on watching Diamond is Unbreakable. Why? Because the introduction of the concept of Stands almost instantly turned JoJo for me from the most awesome action anime in the universe to the most mediocre, boring slog I had to get through.
"What are you talking about? Stands are basically what JoJo is about! How can you hate it?" some of you may think. Well, I can and I do. And allow me explain why.
When I watched Part 1 and Part 2 of JoJo, of which the first season of the anime consisted, I got a clear impression of what it was trying to be: an action series focused on battles, that starts out extremely over the top right off the bat, and manages to raise the bar higher and higher with every episode, by introducing more and more ludicrous concepts to the mix. What's so special about it? That despite being so over the top, it always remained perfectly logical.
[1/5]
Stardust Crusaders, on the other hand, introduced Stands - spiritual beings that basically did the fight for the characters, while all they did was standing and watching it unfold. The thing with Stands is, that due to them having an uncertain amount of superpowers that's never revealed at once, it often leads to characters pulling a convenient new power out of their asses whenever the situation requires it, or deus ex machina situations, that initially may seem like the "impossible to win situations solved by a clever plan" gimmick from Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency, but when you think deeper about it, there's almost never any logic behind it, and the whole reason it even worked was straight up magic and nothing else. Not once and not twice you're introduced to situations where the enemy clearly has an advantage, only to find out that another character's Stand (Hierophant Green most of the time) was already doing something to tip the scales in their favor. Whenever something like this is revealed, it appears more of an insult to the viewer than something awesome, even more when it straight up contradicts what was shown to you literally a minute earlier. Examples:
1. The Lovers fight, when the Stand flew into a little girl's ear. At first it appeared as if Jotaro had to either make a difficult moral choice as to whether kill the user and make the girl suffer unbearable pain, or to lose. But wait! Plot twist! Hierophant Green had its tentacle tied to The Lovers' leg all along and managed to pull it out of the girl's ear in time! You know what's the problem here? You're shown tons and tons of footage where you can clearly see there isn't anything tied to the Stand's leg.
[2/5]
interesting to see an animeonly that likes KC's design, i think they butchered it a lot in the anime, i think it looks better in the manga
Cringe, kys
2. The Wheel of Fortune fight. When Jotaro is set on fire you can see him as a whole, burning for good 30 seconds. But wait! Plot twist! Actually it was only Jotaro's coat, that suspiciously looked like Jotaro's whole body, that was burning, while Jotaro himself got unharmed because Star Platinum dug a tunnel in the ground, where Jotaro could hide. Silently. Even though every other time Star Platinum uses his fists, it sounds like a thousand nukes going off at the same time. Not to mention screaming "Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!" at the top of his lungs. But nope, he lived through it without a scratch.
3. D'Arby the Player "fight". You can clearly only see Jotaro's hands on the controller. But wait! Plot Twist! Hermit Purple was on the controller as well! What? You couldn't see him? Fuck you, he was there!
Another thing is the pacing. Oh dear God, that pacing. The first season could be unfolded in probably five episodes, and the second one in eight to ten episodes. There was so much pointless fighting inbetween it's inconceivable! And why was there so much pointless fighting? Because literally everybody and their mother had to have a Stand...
[3/5]
Having an established villain for the protagonist to fight all the time is much better in case of JoJo because it leaves tons of room for character development. You begin to despise the villains more and like the protagonists more, while also seeing that neither of them is perfect. You begin to get attached to them and understand their reasoning. That makes the emotional scenes hit even harder. I nearly cried when Ceasar got killed in Battle Tendency because it was an awesome character and it was really sad to see him die. Stardust Crusaders on the other hand, had literally no character development because it focused on constant, but ultimately pointless, action instead. I couldn't give two shits about any of the characters in SC because they were a bunch of nothings - their "personality" could be defined solely by the one liners they kept spouting at random.
Now that I mentioned how horribly paced the series is, I'd like to return for a bit to the logic part because the complaint about SC not being logical doesn't end here.
You see, in Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency when you are introduced to Hamon, you more or less know how it works right off the bat. There are some new techniques Jonathan and Joseph gain over time, but it's still a logical progression. You also know how to defeat every enemy - either expose them to the sun, or hit them hard enough with a Hamon-imbued strike to the head in order to disintegrate their brain. In SC, even after finishing both the seasons I still don't know how exactly Stands work. At first, it appears that you're introduced to every Stand's abilities right off the bat, just like you were with Hamon. Except it's not the case at all because, as I mentioned before, characters can suddenly gain new abilities, or force their Stand to do things they weren't able to do before just because it's convenient.
[4/5]
Part 6 ending makes me feel empty. It was all for nothing? We'll just never see the characters again? Or they'll exist but they won't know anything and be completely different. I don't like. The lss
That being said, SBR seems cool. Haven't seen any stands yet only weird balls but hope it's fun. How is this universe different from the old one I wonder?
>thread is full of people explaining in detail why 4 and 8 are the stories that pique their curiosity the most and make for an intriguing read
>it's boring because too much talky and not enough epic fighty xD
so it really is reddit huh
Another illogicality is how to kill a Stand, and that so far's been puzzling me the most because of its sheer inconsistency. Sometimes the characters have to kill the user for their Stand to die, while sometimes they only have to beat them up. Hell, sometimes they don't even have to fight him - his Stand just outright dies the moment they surrender. How in the fuck does it work?! Make up your mind, anime!
And last, but not least, the humor. Oh boy, how I despise the humor in Stardust Crusaders. In both Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency the humor is a combination of Evil Dead/Braindead/[insert your horror-comedy here] style of "so ridiculously violent it's just funny" fights and Monty Python-esque mix of absurdity and wit. In Stardust Crusaders? Shit jokes, fart jokes, shit-eating jokes, pissing jokes... Not to mention, in Part 1 and Part 2 the balance between humorous and completely serious scenes was more than masterful - the transition was smooth and fluid. Stardust Crusaders doesn't fluently go from one to another. Instead it just jumps from shit so dark and serious it could fit in Berserk to jokes about literal shit. It's really jarring, to say the least.
That's all she (well, actually he, but it's an expression and I don't want to say it correctly) wrote. If you managed to get to this point, I'd like to thank you for reading through my critique and commend you on your perseverance. I hope that this thread is good enough to ignite a really good discussion (and if not... well, it was worth a try). Let me know if you agree with me or not, and if not, tell me why. Once again, thank you for reading.

>Part 6 ending makes me feel empty
>SBR seems cool
Try not to catch a cold
The first thing you gotta do is accept Jesus in your heart.
KC looks the same except fo the Eye-slits which I can understand disliking, though I like them.
>I loved 1-4. Everything made sense and had good continuation. But then fucking plot twists of Dios son but he has black hair, now he has blonde hair. It goes down hill from there
I'm not even bothered by the black hair to blonde hair thing. The fact that Araki had to shoehorn in the fact that he was half Japanese despite being set in Italy, despite it having absolutely no bearing on the plot or character design.
Going to run a JoJo tabletop game for my group soon. The setting is the 80-ies multicultural megapolis which has a temporary name of Duwang-city with its night life and shit. I need a main antagonist stand though. So far what I came up with is Empty Spaces (because it's both a cool song and sounds ominous).
What would a stand called Empty Spaces do? Keep in mind, I want to kill at least 2 players minimum with it.
Which player do you use?
>It was all for nothing?
They're the same people just living different and way better lives, they seem to have gotten the peace of mind they were looking for the entire part
>Or they'll exist but they won't know anything and be completely different.
Yes, but this isn't necesarily bad, the lives they were living were pretty awful (Jolyne was literally in prison), they all got a second chance to be happy at life, isn't that nice user?
>How is this universe different from the old one I wonder?
this is a really hard question to answer, easy answer is that they're different universes, and the original universe's characters are still there, just living different roles, you can see it as an alternate take on their characters and the jojo universe, personally i think that makes P7 and P8 feel really fresh, it's a cool take on the jojo formula we're already used to
>[1/5]
Nobody cares
dude what fucking year are we in? Do you unironically have MPC-HC with some extra fork and like a million tweaked settings when you could just download the latest VLC and use everything on default and get the exact same quality
Anime Kira and KQ is basically an improvement over manga Kira. Kira comes off as less autistic and is more charismatic, while Killer Queen is extremely menacing because of audio visual design
its 2019 so everyone uses MPV you troglodyte

>brainlet post
6 is shit, Bloody Stream sucks, Last Train Home is pure kino and 5 is on par with 4.
Notice I never even said someone was dumb for liking some thing and you sperged out about elitism lol
is this bait
but yeah stardust crusaders stands sucked because he didnt really know what he wanted out of them so stands were 'fire stand' or 'strong stand'. In part $ onwards, stands become more interesting and not obviously combat-related in their powers and are more frequently without punchghosts that sit and do fighting for you. The fact that they revealed DIO right away means that everything between Japan and Egypt was going to be pretty meaningless. That's why subsequent parts either dont reveal the villain right away or have the villain be omnipresent to build a relationship
He had to mess around with how the characters fought like giving star platinum a ranged attack because he wrote himself into a corner
Hamon actually had the problem you attribute to stands, wherein it kinda did whatever he wanted it to do (life magnetism overdrive, polarity) all the 'rules' for hamon were mostly just bullshit that looked plausible from afar but once stand rules are set more firmly into place in around part 4, stands are pretty consistent
You dont have to kill a stand, generally a stand is the user's life force or fighting spirit. With some exceptions, kill/defeat the user and the stand goes away.
part 3's best fights are those that can't be resolved by simply punching with a punch ghost, when araki actually had to think around making the crusaders struggle to beat the stand users it made for really fun stand fights
Well you can assume Giorno went on with his life as normal because he wasn't part of it, and the new characters like Irene hypothetically are alive and not in danger, but yeah, that Jotaro that you knew that defeated Dio in that universe, he died
Based and hamonpilled

>often leads to characters pulling a convenient new power out of their asses
Yeah, like that's any better than Joseph's "actually there was string there the WHOLE TIME".
ok, but what the fuck i stabletop
*is lmao
What I was initially thinking was a stand that transfers matter from one place to another, so it could both teleport user and transport a 1-molecule wide strip from the middle of person's body to cut them in half or do something equally gruesome. Dunno how OP that would be though.
>ok, but what the fuck i stabletop
Part 7.
docs.google.com
Just riff off of Okuyasu's stand since that's literally what it does. The Hand is extremely powerful, it's just that Okuyasu is a retard and didn't use it very effectively most of the time

The whole SBR Morio is like that. The town and its people are missing the heart of gold they had in Part 4. Only Yasuho isn't a heartless cunt, and maybe Kato.
Creams power was to transport material to another dimension. Seems like you want The Hand mixed with Cream
Sexual innuendo of the highest order.
I can't remember, was Josefumi's stand ever shown to be S&W? I think I remember seeing that it had the same appearance, but I can't remember if it had the same ability. From what I recall, Josefumi's stand bubbles worked differently to Josuke's
Josefumi's bubbles could graft things to other things
>it's a Jobin chapter
>Paisley Park ability is literally having the right choice for the situation
>"uummm I'm sorry Yasuho-chan I'm gonna go with Mamekuzu on this one"
Is Josuke retarded?
Josefumi only had the plunder ability. When Kira first meets him he takes the extra pepper out of his food using bubbles. He grafted branches by removing the air from between the two branches or something to cause them to fuse. Kira's stand had explosive bubbles. Gappy's stand has both of these abilities. He doesn't use the explosive bubbles much though. Or the plundering ability actually either. It's mostly just supernatural bubbles.
Here's another thing to add to your rant: characters with stands never bother to seek-out obvious solutions to problems, like in Jotaro's fight against Enya, Justice is a stand made of fog (never really specified if the fog itself is a stand or is bound to the fog) and Jotaro defeats her by using Star Platinum to inhale all of Justice causing Enya to pass-out.because that made it somehow impossible for Enya to breathe too.
You know what the obvious solution is? Just knock her out. She's an old lady with a stand that has no real defensive use at all, she's not even hiding anywhere despite her stand having fantastic range, so just punch her in the fucking face or strangle her until she's out cold.
Mista: I'll make a snowboard out of grass!
Don't forget Joseph's "pull a tommygun out of nowhere and cover you in grenades" bit.
He uses plundering bubbles to hold fire and then release it to burn the retard soccer bros.
Every person in Part 4 was an asshole, though.
>He grafted branches by removing the air from between the two branches or something to cause them to fuse
I thought it was that his bubbles had Crazy Diamond-esque repairing properties. Also, when has Gappy used the explosive bubbles?
Aren't the fruits supposed to represent Crazy Diamond?
Gappy uses this plunder ability a lot in his fight since it has more applications. He's only used the exploding bubbles when he's in punching range since it is only useful on offense
>what makes JoJo special?
it's bizarre
why can't gappy just steal space in between objects like the hand?
There's a difference between the plunder ability and holding things inside bubbles. He does the latter all the time but, maybe the difference is just in what is being plundered, he hasn't stolen anything interesting in a while. It's just been bubbles holding things.
He bursts the lip of one of the twins during their fight and break's Damo's glasses. Damo even remarks that he has some of Kira's ability. It seems like Kira's explosions mostly were small scale and more forces than actual explosions. The only time we saw him use an actual explosion was when he used Sheer Heart Attack at the pier to blow it and the ship up during the flashback.
Like I said, I differentiate between the plunder ability used early on in the manga and just holding things in bubbles.
kek because now jojo is a serious manga that flesh out deep themes?
>why can't gappy just steal space in between objects like the hand?
That's basically what he did:
>He grafted branches by removing the air from between the two branches or something to cause them to fuse.

In comparison, most of JJL cast are just selfish dicks.
I would fill your insides with my warm cum, user. you're that gay.
first of all
its a different story, why are you expecting all the characters to act the same?
secondly the story is all about what you'll do to achieve what's good in your eyes
would you sacrifice yourself to save your child? the higashikita have been doing that for decades, that dumb bitch traded her nose to save her child recently
would you start a life of crime to keep your family afloat? joubin would
would you choose to save a womans life despite not even knowing her? gappy would
the characters all have a grey morality and thats whats interesting
except tsurugi, hes an evil fucker
this is your brain on MPV
Tsurugi is the main antagonist. His final stand ability would be to make part 8 look exactly like part 5 ending
I hope Tsurugi is the main villain so he gets included in main villains fanart
part 4 is the worst animated part but the manga is one of the best
Yea Forums is full of contrarian hipsters. VLC is simple and easy to use with an intuitive interface. MPV you need to modify if you want anything better than a drag-and-drop interface that you'd expect a phonefag to use. The only people who'd be willing to put up with that are either actual phonefags or clowns willing to waste their time just to avoid using whatever's popular.

>Rohan: tsundere
Rohan is genuinely just a selfish asshole, and I say this as someone who likes the character.
Considering Rohan is literally a self insert, does that mean Araki is also a selfish asshole?

mpv comes compiled for you, literally all you have to do is change the file associations (it comes with a fucking bat file that does it for you) then click on your files to play them, it's not hard
H-he's getting orders from the Boss using torrents!
hmmm and what happens if you wanna, hmm, you know, actually change anything? tough titties, eh? MPV won't even let you regulate volume lmao
average Yea Forums poster in 2019 can't even change a config file, jesus CHRIST
I guess you better stick to an inferior program because it lets you change the volume by clicking on a cute triangle
n-nani?
>have to fuck with config files just to change volume instead of a fucking slider like everyone else
hey big guy
try using your scroll wheel and see what happens
So one day will he go back and complete the story for the original universe?
Does anyone have the pic of DIO saving Giorno?
Don't be retarded. The original universe is over.
uh I think he was talking about changing the default volume via the config files not just changing the volume
yeah brb reinstalling :^)
actually no, my scroll wheel is broken and i also use a laptop and if you've heard of those you know they have annoying scrolling, i'm not gonna use some piece of software that doesn't even bother including a volume slider but comes with a fucking pdf instruction manual and key shortcut reference card. just now i had a problem with audio on an .mkv file, all I had to do in VLC was quickly right click once and navigate the audio options until I found the problem and fixed it with one click. in MPV it would have been a whole project to figure it out or do anything else
Is it wrong that that upsets me? Not only will we never see them again, but they are lost to memory as well. All their actions were completely meaningless. Very ballsy move by the author.
you're a lost cause
you probably wouldn't notice the difference and I don't know why the fuck you're downloading anime when you're watching it on a broken laptop instead of a T.V, just stream your shit in 480p because it really wont matter in your case

What are you talking about? Most of the original timeline is basically intact, it just ended because Araki wanted to start over again.
This aspect is entirely dropped like that thing he does where he estimates sizes and distances.
Is it? I'm only into first 3 chapters of SBR but already Dio is a completely different character. And the entire Jolyne crew had their minds wiped.
Can you post a panel where Josuke is absolutely not crying?
Gappy is a lot like Giorno conscerning how many things about him get dropped forever.
SBR is a parallel timeline, not a reboot of the original.
At first I thought Giorno was fun and he did a full 180 to a completely boring and 2 dimensional character
>you see, every other media player in existence has a visible slider at all times, or one that appears when you hover over a sound button, but we decided the user simply didn't need that, it is too cluttered and goes against our philosophy of minimalism, after all, they can scroll :^) also we did include the next/previous chapter buttons even though we have detected nobody in history has ever used them, we like the look
I want to live in the Higashikata manor!
I want to accidentally peek Hato and Daiya taking baths!
I want to hang out with based Joshu!
also same with weather report and anasui. weather was extremely weird when first introduced and anasui was a woman. Araki has extreme fucking amnesia problems
Part 7 onwards has absolutely nothing to do with Pucci resetting the universe.
you watch anime on a laptop and you clearly aren't intelligent enough to give a shit about quality or be able to use a computer so stop posting
the original timeline is completely changed, did you forget? After pucci resets the universe it was left mostly intact but with the recently deceased taking entirely new form with no recollection. then pucci was killed and everything was absolutely changed, and only emporio knew anything
It's the end of the story. Every story has to end at some point, user. Did you just want the OGverse to go on forever even after Araki died so it could be bastardized?
>all their actions were completely meaningless
This meme makes no sense to me. They sacrificed their lives to save Emporio, who then singlehandedly foiled Pucci and made the universe a better place. Without their actions, Pucci would have achieved heaven the way he intended and everyone would have ended up as slaves to fate in a neverending cycle of resets. Free will would have been rendered universally null. So how on earth were their actions meaningless?
Switch 3 and 5 and I agree
Was that Pucci's plan? to be honest I thought he had practically won just because he got revenge on jotaro and jolyne
There are two separate sets of volume control keyboard shortcuts. I use next/previous chapter sometimes. Usually to skip openings.
His secondary goal was to kill Jotaro and Jolyne and he kind of did that but they're still alive at the end, just somewhat different. His primary goal was for everyone to know their fates, which he completely failed at.
WHAT??? If he was just gonna write alternate timelines anyways then why the fuck did he reset the universe? I thought for sure he reset it, and so now he's gone back it 1890 of the reset universe
what happened to him after the race? did he live a life of luxury with infinite luck for the rest of his life?
He wanted a somewhat definitive end to the original storyline I imagine. So he would feel better about moving to something different. Dio's seemingly last henchman is killed and everyone is put into better lives than they led before, with the Jojo lineage somewhat severed with Jolyne being Irene instead of Jolyne.
Nope part 7 isn't the ireneverse it's totally separate
Have you read the manga? He basically spells it out for Emporio near the end. He feels guilty for the death of his sister and wants to feel like he had no choice but to take the actions he did, like he was roped into his ultimate situation by fate. By achieving the power of time acceleration, he wanted to make everyone experience their own futures and then place them into a reset world where they subconsciously understand their predetermined actions. That way, nobody can feel guilty for doing what fate tells them to, but as a consequence nobody has free will. He basically gave everyone in the world Epitaph without King Crimson.
>I thought he had practically won just because he got revenge on jotaro and jolyne
How? Pucci possibly suffered the greatest failure of any villain in Jojo. Not only did Emporio kill him before Made in Heaven could be finalized by completing the loop, the fact that nuJolyne and friends aren't in prison and FF isn't there with them implies that Pucci was erased from existence entirely.
7>5>3>2>8>1>4>6
>the universe it was left mostly intact but with the recently deceased taking entirely new form with no recollection.
Something that really only changed the characters from part 6.
>then pucci was killed and everything was absolutely changed, and only emporio knew anything
It basically retconned the entire plot of part 6 but there's no real evidence that anything before it was changed other than Jolyne's name being changed to Irene, which was really just a way of saying that there's no more Jojo from here on out. Pretty much everything before that is seemingly intact, otherwise Jotaro would probably have been different too.
> I thought for sure he reset it, and so now he's gone back it 1890 of the reset universe
Nope, completely separate universe. He's clarified it several times. They're completely unrelated.
It technically has nothing to do woth it since it's never directly stated but you can safely take it that way.
Jojo multiverse is a thin
Remember when he was set up to be a plot integral character like Sandman and then was promptly ignored for 90% of the story, including the climax?
I think he was intended to be a minor character the whole time. His(?) stand wasn't good for combat or anything so the only plot he ever mattered in was the actual race itself, and most of the time johnny and gyro were dicking around with jesus and the president
Just reread colored JJL and they fixed the birthmark at last
yeah true
>that pic
hhnnnnnnnnnng
yeah i read it but it's been a while
Wait so everyone is up there in heaven all the jojos except for jolyne who forgot everything and everyone?
I don't have the colored version downloaded but I checked on Mangadex and the birth mark is still on Josefumi.
by practically won i meant before emporio killed him. by then OG jotaro and jolyne were dead and knew absolutely nothing of pucci, and made in heaven was complete. he would've had an absolute victory if not for emporio
you read the unupdated one
Well he was the secret emperor
Pucci didn't really care about getting revenge on Jolyne and Jotaro, they were just obstacles on his way to heaven. Iirc it's never even implied that he bears ill will against Jotaro for killing Dio, he just needed his memory about the diary. But as for his victory, he wouldn't have been truly victorious until MiH cycled one more time; after that, the results would have been permanent and even Pucci's death wouldn't change things.
B-but isn't 6th part about green dolphin Street prison?
IIRC Pucci he said he avenged DIO when he turned Jotaro into a potato
Best waifu ever
Probably editors made him do it, that seemed to be the case why Jotaro was part nip.
Would you live in an Animal Crossing Morion?
I'd beat your ass
Araki said that he intended for the Jojo of part 3 to be Japanese pretty much from the start, which I can believe. But Giorno does feel like it was just an editorial thing. Literally all it took was a little change in dialog for him to go from having an Italian mom to a Japanese one, and I don't think it's ever brought up again.

Why is that woman getting in the middle of those two gay lovers?
Because Bruno died in the fight against Diavolo, Giono brought him back as a zombie, and his dying wish is a threesome.
What the fuck do you mean "fixed"? I have never heard of this before. We now Kira is a Joestar by ancestry, but from the birthmark we assumed Josefumi was a Joastar as well. Did ANYONE speak on this and say it was an error? How am I supposed to tell for sure whether or not Josefumi is a Joestar now? I don't know what to think anymore.
Reminder that Weather also had the birthmark for whatever the fuck reason

now forget that weather shit and EXPLAIN TO ME where the fuck this "fixed" version of Josefumi not having a birthmark come from
In the JoJo universe family have strong bonds. This is why Enya felt the pain in his hand when his son died or Jolyne got the name on his arm too. When Pucci Absorbed Green Baby he got the birthmark too.

Are fujos addicted to giving rimjobs to black men?
Josefumi was originally supposed to be the Joestar descendant, but Araki changed his mind and made it Kira instead. So the picture with Josefumi having a birthmark and Kira not having one was inconsistent with later depictions and was retconned. It's that fucking simple.

The people that scan Jojolion released the volume version and the birthmark was still on Josefumi. Even the original color release still had it that way. I've never heard until now about there being any "fixed" version of this.

I enjoy Brokeback Mountain though. It's basically the move SBR was based off of.
>That was just a mistake of one of Araki's assistant

Where is the source for either of these claims? He has the birthmark in like 6 different panels, who says this was the work of an assistant?
Those 6 panels are literally copy paste of the same illustration.
You thought it was a feminist banner, but it was I DIO, to demand that women can walk safely
cringe copypastafag, the irony is that no hamonfag is smart enough to write this much.
that's not part 1 and 2. The animation and art were awful on their tv airing.
I've already asked for source on this "fix" claim for 4 fucking posts and was met with nothing. Shut the fuck up if you have nothing else to say. Oh, and by "literally copy pasted" you mean, actually not literally not copy pasted but hand-drawn?
That's no way to talk to a lady. I won't let you watch tonight.

yeah i'm calling BS on it being "fixed" as well plus having two jojos in part 8 makes sense somehow
because it just works
Based hamonfag. I like stands too but they're overrated and hamon shouldn't have been dropped, I wish there was a part with spin, hamon and stands.
I don't think Josefumi is supposed to be a Joestar. Did his mom even have a birthmark? It's either an error (which I've yet to see fixed except for the image in this thread, which for all I know was done by a fan) or might have some relevance at some point since there's been a few points that could be pointing to alternate timeline stuff.

Dio would be disgusted.
I hate that this happened in my country. How do they involve Dio-Sama in their shitty ideologies?
Why do people hate Part 6 so much? Is it because they're Jotarofags and hate that the Lionshare of his screen time is him getting btfo and shit on? I just finished reading it and I liked it, despite most of the fights being almost completely incomprehensible. Jolyne feels like how Jotaro would be if Araki hadn't sandblasted every facet of his personality off that isn't autism and anger. The ending is a breathtaker, and Stone Free is a really fucking cool stand.
Also, pic related would be best girl if she wasn't an absolute psycho.
>despite most of the fights being almost completely incomprehensible
Stands work best when there are few moving parts, because Araki sucks fucking cock at choreography and spatial awareness. trying to keep track of 8 million characters and their stands in still panels is cancer.

manga in general is just shit when it comes to action, you need actual action to convey action, when you're drawing a frame by frame fight it just does not work especially when each frame has sentient plankton with guns or whatever the fuck happened in part 6

I still don't understand how foo fighters had a gun tbqh
I'm not about to look up what constitutes a perfectly truncated arc or make an image so I'm just gonna describe the parts I like
>Phantom Blood
The beginning. From the very start up until they come to arrest Dio and he gets shot.
>Battle Tendency
When Joseph meets Caesar at the restaurant and when they're supposed to play cards together.
>Stardust Crusaders
Hard to pick. I like the face-offs against Death 13, Enyaba, the Sun, the guy with the axe, the gambler and DIO. I care a lot about mood and quiet time though so let's just say my favorite arc is "when they cross the desert", which includes both the Sun and Death 13
>Diamond is Unbreakable
Very hard to pick. I fell in love with DIU during the Italian restaurant part, and I love when Josuke and Okuyasu hang out with Shigechi, or when Josuke plays dice with Rohan, but I'll have to say my favorite arc is simply Kira blending in and interacting with his new wife
>Vento Aureo
Not a huge fan. Let's say the part where they have their bodies switched.
>Stone Ocean
The part where Jolyne can only remember 3 things at once, but I also like the part where they throw a baseball around
>Steel Ball Run
The part where they reach the tree with the girl and get rich, go back to town and buy tons of shit and then get ambushed at the casino, but I also like Blackmore vs Tim, Lucy vs Valentine and Johnny getting shot 4 times
>Jojolion
Hard to say. I like when Josuke and Yasuho are simultaneously trying to discover Josuke's past, I like when Joshu and Josuke go to Swindler Street or w/e, I like Milagro Man, I like Josuke with Karera, I like Kira and Josefumi's story, I like Yasuho vs Paper Moon, I like the introduction to Jobin and the beetle fight, but my favorite would probably be when Josuke has to take care of Daiya
very abstract to rank them by favorite arc but let's say
8>7>4>3>6>1>2>5
it really has no meaning tho
7>5>4>3>2>1>8>6
Guess is a bitch! Fuck you Guess!
Is RHCP a remote stand or a normal stand? He's pretty strong for a long distance stand.
bump for jojolion theories
>kaato is the main baddie and has a dimension based stand
>tooru is a rock fucking shit and the other doctor who used yasuho for experiments via the hairclip/fingering
>gappy will remember he can steal stuff again and start using soft & wet in fun ways again
>gappy will walk in on tooru trying to fuck yasuho and he'll beat the shit out of him with joshu
>tsurgi can control other people's stands via illusion fuckery/can create origami of people's stands and use their abilities once
>joubin's wife's baby will come out half rock person half human due to the fruit bringing it to life and will cure the bloodline
>jonny turned into the jesus corpse which is why the wall eyes sprouted
>the bite mark is caused by jonny's skull
>the wall eyes are protecting the island from the rock people by giving people stands
that's all I got
Name the arcs
But how will Araki insert Dio?
Guess's guest appearance in JHL is honestly an interesting thing for me.
Her whole deal is that she loves being a bully to people who are weaker than her, and since she didn't know Joylne's affliction was a stand attack, her assumption was that Joylne was now permanently mentally disabled and her first instinct wasn't to start abusing her, but to help her though it. I guess she learned her lesson. Either that or Stone Free gave her enough brain damage to beat the psycho out of her.
>tsurgi can control other people's stands via illusion fuckery/can create origami of people's stands and use their abilities once
That's cool
youtu.be
this needs to be a stand btw
josefumi "is" gio, his dad is a bastard sired by alternate dimension dio which is why he had a birthmark and his mum was a slut
Should DP add rice boy filler until Metallica or should they keep him in the dark until his fight?
If it's minor stuff like they've been adding then sure
His father is Joseph
It's because RHCP uses real electricity as a power source
Those fags probably never read it before the anime aired and likely only read it in shitty colors too
Reading the manga at all is respectable enough. I can tell you casuals will only watch the anime and laugh at the idea of reading a comic.
"Why would I read it if I can watch the anime that's much better?"
>Why would I read it if I can watch the anime that's much better?"
Manga fags btfod
I want King Crimson to verbally, physically and sexually abuse me.
Considering how much they've added of him already, they might as well just keep adding the same type of filler until his fight. Hell, go ahead and animate his backstory as well.
Post an image that will convince my friend to watch jojo

Guys... New OP this friday
depends what kind of person your friend is
I liked Fighting Gold.
One of my favorite OPs

>timeskip
How about no.
Why not?
Araki already said even if he's too old to draw he will still write the story and one of his assistants will do the art like they've been doing in JJL.
He could change his mind.

NEW OP LEAKED youtu.be
wrong
>tsurugi goes ape shit, uses his stand power to control everyone else's stand (his illusions now "work" on him, he believes he's unstoppable because his dad wants him to be so the stands he creates out of origami work the way he thinks they do" because he wants the fruit
>gappy tries to fight back without hurting him but ends up getting fucked up
>yasuho eventually talks him down but tsurgi kills her
>in a rage gappy tries to murder tsurugi but joubin sacrifices himself to stop gappy
>kaato shows up and uses her dimension based stand to wreck havoc while this is going on, has a game of fate with yasuho asking her to pick a card, paisley park makes her choose the right card and slaps her shit
>joshu ends up stealing the fruit using his stand and doesn't know what to do, ends with tsurgi and gappy both begging for it then a rock nigger comes out of nowhere and steals it
>gappy and tsurgi team up to fight him and gappy ends up giving tsurugi the fruit once he notices he's turning into stone
>series ends with gappy dead and tsurugi remorseful, the rokakaka branch is hinted at to be blossoming once more
I want bruno to be my mommy
yooooooooooooooooo phattttttt
fuuuuuck I JUST WANT IT TO BE FRIDAY ALREADY FUUUUCK
You want to be 5 days closer to your death?
If the SCR fight has the body's VA trying to do the soul's voice it will be perfect.
I don't mind as long as I get a new JoJo OP
Robot Rock
Will we get a new ED too? I'm getting sick of the nigger music.
Nobody's forcing you to watch the ending. I haven't watched it since a few episodes into the part.
Now his friend will just be disappointed when this doesn't happen.
Yeah, but it sort of broke the trend that I actually liked all the EDs before it. It at least got better visuals with episode 14.
What? It's literally a scene from TSRK 12.
Why do people hate part 5? I'm on the babyface stuff atm and it's probably my favorite jojo so far after the yoshikage kira arc
Then who will voice Coco Jumbo
Because both Giorno and Diavolo are shit.
shit because fighting gold is best OP ever
if you're wondering why it's because it's made by the pair who did Cruel Angels Thesis for Evangelion. Their first collaboration in 25 years.
Only a vocal minority hates part 5.
>posting Asukafag arguments
lmao no thanks
>complains about Monster of the Week and constant action/lack of story
I bet he liked stardust crusaders despite that
>it's good because it was made by these people that made something good before
I don't hate Fighting Gold but it doesn't even come close to Cruel Angel's Thesis. I expected much more when it was announced but it left me extremely disappointed.
but cruel angels thesis is shit
this is the greatest song to come out of evangelion and the best song to ever be in an anime outside of JIBUN WO
youtu.be
>nostalgia goggles
best JoJo OP at least
and no those early intros that had that god-awful CGI models were absolute shit
Ever since stands were introduced the series has always been MoTW.
please read the manga, reread the parts you already watched, you'll enjoy them even more
Part 1 would be boring if it were long but since it's so concise it doesn't really have time to slip into boredom
who is better at sucking dick (we'll say at age 20 for both)
Giorno or Dio
Dio
>no argument
Great Days is my favorite. Bloody Stream is second.
dio.
he got used to it after jobbing so fucking hard to jonathan
Giorno.
Dio is FLAMING, so him.
>expecting an argument about music
I'm in a similar situation with being at air date eps now.
My ranking is 4 > 2 > 3 > 1 though
Part 1 felt extremely dated, updated animation aside. It was a chore to get through and you could tell how old the material was. Fortunately it was short. The early Jonathon/Dio interactions were good and that was about it.
Part 2 had a real story going for it but the asspulls in the fights were too much for even JoJo standards for me to tolerate sometimes.
I thought I'd LOVE part 3 as it has such a famous reputation but it just feels like a video game where they battle never-ending badguys of the week before moving on to the next. There's basically no story besides that and Stand's consume the whole story. Dio did nothing as well, besides die and the final fight was full of asspulls
Part 4 was definitely the comfiest, but after Okuyashu's bro died I had a huge lapse in interest in the series (took me over a year to start watching it again) and it bored me. Yoshikage Kira reinvigorated my interest though and I loved it once he became introduced.
I'm enjoying Part 5 so far and don't get the bad reputation outside of the fact that Gio is a bit dull and his stand is surprisingly boring as well.
JoJo Rankings: Joseph > Josuke > Jonathan > Jotaro > Gio
JoBro Rankings: Morioh Gang > Stardust Crusaders > Cesar > Passione Gang > Speedwagon
JoVillian Rankings: Kira > Dio > Kars > DIO
Part 7 will make you like westerns
>>it's good because it was made by these people that made something good before
I personally thought it was super good before I had any idea who wrote or composed it.
Well I think Fighting Gold is the worst OP, both in song and visuals.
thats cool and all animefag, but you should leave before people post spoilers about everysingle future plot point ever
I haven't read enough of part 8 to make informed decisions yet (except who best girl is)
Based
Same. Fighting Gold is probably my fourth favorite OP overall.
You misspelled Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town.
Dio was poor, but could somehow afford exotic poison. I think he probably sucked dudes off to get the money to pay for the poison, and maybe even sucked off the Chinese guy for a discount.
He'd be out of practice by age 20, but Giorno has never had a need to suck dick to get by, and the only time we've ever seen him suck dick, he didn't seem to be doing a very good job. He could've improved in the next 5 years, but as an important mafia boss, he seems like he'd be less of a sucker and more of a suckee.
Given what we have to go on, Dio is most likely the better dick sucker.
Fighting gold is absolute trash
that's an weird way to pronounce traitor's requiem, but okay!
People who don't like Great Days actually don't have a soul
Based
Clearly you're not caught up with part 8 if you still think Yasuho is best girl.
thank you for the in depth answer
>Dio was poor, but could somehow afford exotic poison. I think he probably sucked dudes off
He beat guys in games of chess, you fucking faggot. It was in the first episode.
clearly you're an incel if you don't think Yasuho is best girl
>nonvirgin
>best girl
I AM FED UP WITH THIS GODDAMN NEET AAAAAAAARGH
i hope tsurugi tortures him the worst way possible
Yasuho is the jobro though.
Cry more
Stay mad
>Hating Joshu
He's fucking great. He's a complete irredeemable asshole and it's hilarious. Also
name a more powerful character
>avdol
>jobro
>Zeppeli as Jobro instead of Speedyboi
No wonder every man in Morioh wants her.
That actually doesn't happen in the manga.
It was added in the anime, likely to explain how he could afford the poison other than by sucking dick.
not even kars could do that shit
the fuck
Smokey . He can say the N word.
speedwagon is a shitty meme that was only useful for creating the SW foundation
deal with it
All of the Lights
Speed of Sound
The Beginning
The End
Out of Touch
Radio Gaga
Good Vibrations
Speedwagon outlasted cuckeli tho
Okay, round two:
Who is better at sucking dick: Anasui or Abbacchio
>NEET
He goes to college, speedreader
youtube.com
I feel bad for not noticing it sooner.
New Slaves
I thought he was in high school
Anasui was in prison, with a face like that you bet he got some training
Femasui would give you a blowjob behind a concert stadium that you would remember on your death bed.
Giorno can stuff his ear in his ear canal
Anasui literally said he had a prison husband
>Zeppeli instead of Speedwagon
>Polnareff and Avdol instead of Kakyoin
>no Koichi
>FF instead of Hermes
>Bruno instead of Mista
>Caesar instead of Stroheim
Who the hell made this?
alright then.
NET.
he is a fucking NET.
Anasui because he doesn't rely on alcohol to suck dick.
*ahem*

How do you define Brojo?
He never said "husband," he just said "married," so user was slightly off --- but I think it's pretty strongly implying what you think it's implying
>speedweed isnt the jobro

>FUCK COOCHIE

>FUCK HERMES, FF IS BASED
>caesar is MUCH more of a jobro than stroheim
>Aryan man fights through the centuries to save the world from the Jewstar menace
cute panel
>tfw he still managed to outlast both
It's likely he could meet a female at the hospital ward, but I guess meeting another male is way easier. Who knows.
all anasui panels are cute
Was it Weather Report? Because he slept with him in a piano
>>Polnareff and Avdol instead of Kakyoin
The person who made it needed to fill up 9 slots. Adding Polnareff makes sense because he's the second most heavily featured in that main cast but having Avdol over Kakyoin is nonsense.
You'd think he'd be more open to a threesome with jolyne if that were the case
>femasui was actually just his prison bitch look for Chad Report
I thought he had a wife he caught cheating and he killed, isnt that what hes refering to?
dubs decide which part i will reread
>Was it fair for Gappy to call Holly his mom?
Absolutely, that's been the whole driving force of the story once he found out his identity.
The JoJo's best friend.
Not necessarily the 2nd most important character, but the one who the JoJo has the closest friendship with.
Speedwagon dedicated his life to Jonathan.
I was being sarcastic about Stroheim.
Kakyoin was Jotaro's classmate, the only crusader his age, and the only crusader other than Joseph that he had any banter with.
I'd say Koichi and Okuyasu are both Jobros.
Mista is the one who has the most interactions with Giorno and the one who teams up with him the most. Bruno is more of a team mom than a Jobro.
Hermes was the first friend Jolyne made in prison and stayed around until the end of the story. It's a lot harder to pin down who the Jobro is in SO, but my gut tells me it's Hermes.
>77
7 it is.
that was his girlfriend, before prison
He literally says "married in prison" in the panel
It was his girlfriend that he killed outside of prison, that's why he was arrested in the first place
5
fuck, guess ill read it for the third time
Are the male and female sections of GDS prison even segregated?
I distinctly recall male and female prisoners interacting, but I might be misremembering.
Hey just because he dresses like a slut doesn't mean he's actually one.
That was just a regular girlfriend. Most translations I've seen say that he was married "in prison", except for a questionable Spanish one where it says "before prison". It's a joke panel anyways, we shouldn't read too much into it.
>Speedwagon dedicated his life to Jonathan.
It was a one way relationship.
Round three:
Who is better at sucking dicks: Johnny, or Joseph?
they are segregated. at some areas they aren't, like the medical clinic or when you check in, but for the most part males and females prisoners are kept separate
tie.
Joseph for sure.
Johnny.
Joseph can also satisfy a man with his ass, while Johnny has to focus on the only thing he's got.
Johnny is literally made for sucking dicks.
FUCK IT, IM GONNA START READING IT
NOW I WONT BE LATE WITH JOSHU POSTERS
Care to share your thoughts as you read?
Tie
I'd rather be sucked off by Johnny though tbqh
Joseph seems like the type that would be too energetic and ends up hurting you, but thinks he's hot shit at the same time
I love how angry this makes VAfags. The original poster truly is based.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ABOMINATION
johnny can tickledrill your urethra with his spinning nails
Joseph. He got all his tricks from Reddit.
calm down user, its just mista...
ah nice, we are already starting with 2 heavy autists
Mr. Blue Sky
Rocket Man
Dead or Alive
Starman
Aladdin Sane
Under Pressure
Joshu posting is just a stupid meme, he's completely worthless
Mista should be wojak
Seething
Araki really nailed Joshu's autism. He's well-written.
>5 minutes and you're already on chapter 2
Speedreader.
>joshu is a first year sociology major
>sociology
the fuck
>joshu studies sociology
What a fag, lost all my respect.

What a shock
I would let Yasuho cut open my abdomen and choke me out with my own intestine if I could just smell her farts for one second
Cringe BTfag
hey, thats actually pretty fucking cool.
i expected some sort of destructive stand from the sailor guy
Point out that these are all the same guy but don't explain it at all
based and actuallylikesjojopilled
You one of those people that commentates during movies too?
I honestly hope Tsurugi's the main villain.
Round 4:
Who sucks dicks better: Diavolo(Doppio) or Pucci?
be nice user, I like when first-time readers post their reactions
Pucci is a repressed homosexual because he is a christian and his homolust for dio never came to be anything, so that idiot diavolo
Do you think Diavolo would use King Crimson during sex to skip the orgasm just to be an asshole?
Diavolo is straight. Pucci is a closet case who probably practices on dildos.
Doppio, thats his job
pucci for sure
Johnny, the orderlies in the hospital mouthraped him daily (as one does when there's a defenseless paralyzed twink at your mercy)
the Part 6 anime is really going to be something else
proof
>his homolust for dio never came to be anything
how could dio resist ruining a young, idealistic catholic priest. that's more OOC than any fujo pairing
It was always you pleb
MONA LISA INTENSIFIES
I think that's Okuyasu's dad
