Comics reboot themselves every four years, why does Araki need an excuse

yeah in a non-joking answer i can legit just say 'araki knows how to at least wrap things up to some degree unlike other mangaka' and leave it at that. if someone's gonna consider it a spoiler to know that a particular overarching plotline ends after a certain point then i have news for them regarding basically every bit of media out there

Yeah, you really don't gotta say poo poo besides "part 6 concludes the original series and part 7 is a reboot"

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...

There are also no Avdols in any other JoJo part, iirc.

How much are you going to say about exactly why part 7 is rebooting to 1890, with an alternate Jonathan who isn't a 100% match and isn't even British gentry?

There's nothing really to suggest the SBRverse is the new universe created at the end of Stone ocean, it's just a reboot

I think Araki even explicitly states the SBRverse was its own thing and has no connections to what happened in Stone Ocean.

I guess for me it's less the cognitive dissonance (that's nothing new with any media) but saying that JoJo is PRETTY gay and someone going "source???", so you provide a primary source and they're just like

DIO is a father, he is also a son, and a vampire is basically a kind of holy ghost.

Jojo is incredibly homoerotic but has a surprisingly low number of canonically LGBTQ characters. There’s what, Dio being bi, the two villain couples in Golden Wind, Pucci (who wasn’t apparently written to be gay but Araki considers it an equally valid interpretation), Valentine’s wife, and... I can’t think of any others. It’s still more than most other manga though I guess.

Maybe my memory is loving with me, but I definitely remember Jolyne being bisexual has been shown somewhere.

no it's the really early scene with the nude prison admittance with the exchange that goes
Jolyne: "Err... excuse me, this is a female prison, right?"
Dr: "She's been injected with male hormones"

and I just looked it up to post but I don't really think it's work safe.
kind of wish she had a stand but then she either would have become a villain or gotten killed by pucci.
