Jojolion Thread

>The mysteries have been poorly paced, with the reader learning things faster than the characters
I have to disagree with this, the reader rarely learns things faster than the characters, all the big reveals (such as the wall eyes fusion or Josefumi) were shown around the same time for both chars and the reader. The head doctor is also soon to be shown, and we still have a while before knowing Norisuke's fate.

Araki killed off Kira Yoshikage because Killer Queen can't be used non lethally (dumb superhero logic)

The colored releases for Jojolion are... years... behind the black and white version. Definitely read the coloreds that are finished, but if you wanna be caught up with Jojolion, I wouldn't bother waiting for them

Most stands can't be used non lethally

Even then we see Kira using KQ non lethally

Faggots on Yea Forums

>Killer Queen can't be used non lethally
literally used to save the protag
we don't even know if he died, he could emerge as Gappy's second persona like Diavolo

Kira is honestly a more interesting character than Josuk8. Wish it could've been fully his story. Would've been interesting having a sailor doctor guy with a hand fetish trying to save his mama.

>KQ can't be used non-lethaly
I think it's actually the opposite, Jotakira's KQ is heavily different from David Bowie Kira's, it can't use bomb n°1 and can only shit out SHAs, which damage structures but doesn't seem to hurt people. He hid a bunch of them in Karera and made them explode but Karera herself, Josefumi and all the rocknogs were completely fine after that huge explosion.

>Araki killed off Kira Yoshikage because Killer Queen can't be used non lethally

Citation?

Agreed, 100%. Honestly though, I doubt he can wrap everything up in a satisfying way. Like, what could he even do with the [teeth marks] that give stand powers?

>Like just look at Doggystyle. What the fuck is this thing?
Clearly its Snoop.

The main reason Magician's Red and Star Platinum are some of my favorite Stands is that, outside having ridiculously good abilities, they are some of the ONLY fully animal/human-looking Stands in the whole franchise before Araki went full robot mode. I hate how modern Stands can't convey emotion through facial expression the same way Star Platinum could.

JoJo peaks with 3 and 4 but then goes steadily downhill. I wish I could enjoy SBR the way some people do, but it's so ordinary and boring. And 8, like 6, is just a goddamn mess.

>needs easily recognizable features to understand emotion
this is textbook autism

I definitely agree that the lack of human-animal stands like Magician's Red is a travisty. Like, why not do a centuar stand, or a minotaur stand? Would be really cool and simple. And yeah, Robo stands have generally lost expressiveness. I see more in Soft and Wet though. Like, when has he shown any personality at all? Closest we got was the shovel scene.

No one expected Ojiro to come back but here we are. Jojolion is impossible to predict.

probably the best part (can't be sure until it's over).
definitely araki's magnum opus.

> I wish I could enjoy SBR the way some people do, but it's so ordinary and boring

This is so wrong on so many levels. What the hell.

Because as The Last Jedi taught us, Subversion of Expectations is good. (Don't get me wrong, I am excited to see where Ojiro goes) :)

Jesus, imagine how fucked up Rian Johnson's Stand would be.

Calm down, fag, I never said I NEED facial expressions to understand the emotions behind a Stand, but Star Platinum was expressive as shit and that's one of the reasons I like it.

I think a stand that is also really expressive, but still has sleek metallic features is Gold Experience. Certainly has been expressive in the anime. Also, I like how much he yells Muda! Without Giorno

bump

desu I just want more stands that are like the punchghosts rather than the ability-type stands. I know that JoJolion especially isn't all about combat, but it would be nice if there was something for Soft&Wet to actually fight 1-on-1.

>Called Doggy Style and looks vaguely dog-like
>abilities have no relation to that whatsoever and is just a discount Stone Free
Araki?

Honestly, Doggystyle may be even better than Stone Free which on it's own is already discount Hierophant Green

>Discount Hierophant Green
>No one can just deflect the Emerald Splash!

stands that can be incorporated into living things are busted by default so no, SF and doggy are stronger

When was Doggystyle incorporated into a living thing?

When was the last time Soft & Wet stole an ''aspect'' from an object/thing?

are you dumb? the user survived getting mangled thanks to changing his body to the stand

Not that user but It's barely shown in stand form anymore and it's just that Rai is a spaghetti man. Pretty boring compared to Stone Free imo.

What do you think of Yasuho?

Best JoJo girl, cool stand, poorly treated.

is Yasusho /ourgirl/ ?

At least she got a fit, cute, strong, diligent, inteligent and extremely autistic bf that goes apeshit when she's in danger.

Not sure about SF and Doggystyle being better than HG.
>Long range use, Kak can hide anywhere and still use his Stand
>Long range projectile rush attack you shouldn't be able to block unless you're fucking Star Platinum or have some sort of really powerful barrier
>Long as fuck range overall, he covered several buildings with HG
>Considerable strength on it's own, even if it's not as strong as other punch ghosts
>Can take over people as shown in the beginning and Death 13, had to be RETIRE'd for half the fights for balance sake
The only Pro SF and Doggystyle have over HG is SF's close quarter rush and damage mitigation and Rai's spaghetti transformation.

>A stand can have only 1 ability.
--Norisuke Higashikata. Status: Currently in a body bag.

she literally said "I can change people's faces"

nothing about objects

>Long range use
while kak is defenceless
>Long range projectile
deflected lol
>Considerable strength
jobbed to everything in a straight up fight
>Can take over people
stand users don't give a shit about a few casualties

Killer Queen: Turns anything into a bomb, Sheer Heart Attack, Bites the Dust
Gold Experience: Creates life, said life deflects damage dealt to it, can soul punch and excellerate peoples senses.
Star Platinum: Star Finger, Time Stop, and ORAORAORA at the speed of light.
Killer Queen 8: Bubble Bombs, Sheer Heart Attack

Paizuri Park:
Quick Time Events
GPS Evasion
Camera Hacking
Computer Hacking
General Research
Lock Breaking

Don't care how you generalize that as "keeping you on the right path." It ain't one ability, Araki!

King Crimson: can see the future and leap forward in time

Paisley Park is really neat.

>she

>speed king
>useless
get a load of this pleb

I was referring to paper moon

Yeah, definitely the coolest stand any girl has gotten in JoJo.

>Ghost Girl's Alley

iirc Araki mentioned that his vision of an ideal stand design are 『some kind of organic-robot mix where it'll be hard to tell whether it's a living being or a machine』. Apparently he mentioned that Iggy's Fool is a good example of this ideal stand design. Imo most the stand designs of part 7-8 is kinda alluding to this ideal stand design of his albeit some of them do look absolutely not like a living being at all like doggystyle

What? Do you mean Wu? He's never spoken to Norisuke.

Who is the most powerful female stand user shown so far? Might be Kaato though that's hard to say really, so far it just seems like hammerspace.

Oh you meant Damo. Well I don't recall how much he explained about the fruit but he was planning on killing everyone there anyway, and he got pretty close.

>it can't use bomb n°1
Its bomb #1 is essentially what Kira's is after he gets Stray Cat inside his stand. Part 8 Kira's stand makes explosive bubbles and can also do the swarm of SHAs. Though the "explosions" can be scaled down to simple forces it seems (with no fire or heat). And Josuke can use those. He burst one of the twins' lips with one of his bubbles one time and also broke Damo's glasses with an "explosion" from one of his bubbles.

I do wonder what was up with the explosion at the pier in the flashback though. Like you said, Karera had the SHAs on her back but was unharmed. I wonder if Kira could make his explosions not hurt living beings. Damo and whoever the other guy with him on the boat was were mostly injured by the shrapnel caused by the boat and pier exploding I think. Though that whole sequence still makes me think there's some alternate reality stuff going on, so the Karera that survived could be a different Karera while the one with the SHAs on her back did actually die and was vaporized. But killing her doesn't really seem like something Kira would do.

Karera's hair protected her iirc.

basically everything

>new guinea farmers and WW2
>how josuuke and kira transplanted the branch
>josuuke's past up until his death(somehow he knew this)

honestly i think paisley park can just fuck with technology and thats pretty much it

Paisley Park is general electronics control. The QTEs and GPS stuff stem from it being a long range stand that can go out and scout essentially. So it goes out, thinks of what Yasuho might need in the future, and puts those up on the computer screen as choices.

PP's ability is controlling technology which by definition allows her to do a lot of fucking things.

Yeah this is what people don't get, she was even bald too. I forgot if Love Love Deluxe doesn't work the same way Love Deluxe does though.

I have question If anyone knows. In the vitamina c Arc Damo was going to kill every higashikata in the house and joubin knew It, would joubin let It happen to his family? Cuz in the panel It looked like he does't give a fuck

Attached: x30.png (900x1400, 289K)

Her hair is damaged from the explosion it looks like. But how would her hair protect her from a giant explosion? LLD from what we saw can only grow hair on other people.

Attached: JJL_v13_ch052_099.png (900x1400, 295K)

Stands can still affect their users in a different way, so it's possible it has protective possibilities. It's also possible Kira used a non-lethal bomb.

he might not have known Damo was gonna do it

He naively trusted Damo since they were business partners. Not sure what Speed King could do against Vitamin C though.

based

>implying jobin gives a fuck about them
Only his nu-family is important (Tsurugi and Mitsuba)

Should add

>ywn watch your best friend be accused of murder and forced to run from the law

Dunno man joubin doesnt serem like he would let innocent people die much less his family

Blue Hawaii arc shows he doesn't give a fuck about innocent people. Remember he hired Dolomite to assassinate Josuke knowing what his ability does.

Oh, forgot that he also tried to boil Yasuho's brains when she saved Josuke.

If he doesnt care about innocent people he would killed yasuho on the spot

Maybe, though he said it was so there "wouldn't be a mess"

He literally let Dolomite's stand activate on a child.

Araki genuinely wants to live like this

didnt he cut off his hand

Attached: 1538619657487.png (593x873, 278K)

He cut off his fingers. They're still cut off in the page you posted. And actually they stay cut off later on too. They don't get fixed like most other injuries.

It’s been six months and we still don’t know how Norisuke got killed and ended up in a bodybag.

We are still in the notorious chase against the head doctor.

Just because he isn’t the main character doesn’t mean he’s automatically “more interesting”

If Part 8 josuke was just some random ass side character people like you would probably say “man the MC sucks why didn’t araki just make the story be about Josuke”

rock humans are much more resilient and can survive lethal blows as long as they don't shatter their entire bodies.

So 4 days until chapter. What are your expectation for the chapter?

Josuke running around with rai while tooru cucks him

Hopefully not even more mystery-bait to add to the pile.
