Well dang, really? I remember there being translations of Feedback and Jorge Joestar but I'd never heard that someone translated Golden Ring.

Yeah, Makorin is Ojiro's girlfriend, the woman that Mitsuba brushed off at the school meeting for Tsurugi. She's trying to get the Higashikata estate and knows about the rumors of Jobin and Cato killing a kid

is there unifying fan theory for part 8 as to the connection between the rocks that hide among people, the plant that turns part of you into rock, and the disease that turns you into a rock

The connection is Kars. We know he had powers to transform life, such as turning his hand into a violent squirrel. We know he eventually stopped thinking and turned into a mineral. When the universe was rebooted, he was no longer a ｢person｣ but a ｢thing｣. He became the rokkaka, and the pillar men became rock humans.

The disease is presumably a curse caused by the holy corpse, the rock humans are a species that have been around for a loooong time, and the rokakaka is from New Guinea(and has existed for a long time like the rock humans). EDIT: Actually wait, wasn’t the reason Johnny brought the corpse to Morioh because his wife had the rock disease? I guess the disease is older than that and the holy corpse only causes the wall eyes and the influx of stand users in the town. Maybe the Higashikatas have a rock human ancestor or something? I still think the fruit is not connected to the others though. RatHat fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Jun 25, 2019 |

Do fans even have theories about part 8 or have we all just accepted that it's incomprehensible

it's not that Part 8 is "incomprehensible", is that Araki's writing isn't conducive to theories or predictions. He isn't worldbuilding on a level like Oda, where One Piece fans have correctly predicted entire arc plots before they started. We're not sure what he'll drop or add to the story next so it's easier to just go for the ride, even if it sucks. I thought I had a good idea of Part 8 might go when Cato was introduced, but she's been MIA for like year so i dunno!

i'm still holding on to my idiotic "final boss is diavolo somehow" theory solely because king crimson has been suspiciously absent from this naming scheme e: and yeah part 8 is a mystery story where halfway through it's revealed that there's actually no mystery at all oh well araki doesn't really understand the whole mystery thing

THEORY TIME. The disease is caused by Dio's head somehow. Yeah I know he technically disintegrated shaddap. The rockmen serve him and want to find a new body for him. He used Johnny's body for a while, but that didn't quite work, so he demands additional bodies from the Higashikatas or he kills their heirs. It's a threat, basically, to find a body that works. Now the rockmen have learned of the transformed rokaka fruit, which may heal Dio completely Revived Dio's Stand will be "Rock the World" You're loving welcome

In part, I love part 8 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure because it reads like a mystery novel where the author constantly gets bored of where he's taking the plot, leading to absurd and wild poo poo that changes at the drop of a hat, and any constants that DO stay throughout the plot turn better and better, like granite cliffs worn down by a constant flood of bullshit until they become awe-inspiring monuments I mean, we're honestly dealing with a wealthy fruit parlor owner's son making deals with the fruit mafia, while his crossdressing son, out of stress, causes people to lethally run into things on accident Let the weak plot elements wither and die, I say, only the great ones will survive the great flood of bullshit

With Norisuke dead at the end of this she won't have anyone to troll anymore so maybe then will be her time to act.

I looked up Ojiro because the manga clearly treats him as someone I should know and realized he's the creep Josuke beat early on. I don't know if I'd even realized it was the same dude Kira made eat his own fingers during the flashback

So is the Golden Wind anime in danger of skipping Sleeping Slaves? There's only 4 eps left and I'm not sure if it's enough given the pacing so far.
