I wanna see where this goes first, there's no reason to quit SA overnight and we could end up with a Credible off site or any number of other things.

But assuming the worst, arigato... JoJo thread

JoJo has changed my life.

Same here. Hell, it even somewhat helped my boyfriend with his dysphoria. Seeing all the crazy bullshit fashion Araki thinks of led to him not care about how he looks and even try on some more androgynous stuff inspired by this series. :shobon:

Also, gently caress you Lowtax, you piece of poo poo.

Given a long enough timescale the fandom will have drawn every panel from Stone Ocean and made the anime unnecessary

New chapter is up on MangaDex

I can't decide if this chapter was the result of Araki spinning his wheels for a month or if he genuinely thinks we need to spend half of a chapter learning deep rock human lore and his musings on biology. The first fourteen pages are completely skippable, what a loving disappointment

This is just insane, but not as insane as his naming conventions. Doo Doo Doo Dee Daa Daa? Out of all The Police songs, I'd never guess that as a name.

I enjoyed the backstory bits, it's classic Araki crazy. It also was cool to see how the stone people tie in to previous parts. I know for a long time people have been wondering how Part 8 is "caused" by DIO, since every other part is caused by him in some way. But now we've gotten confirmation of the opposite, really - Part 1 was "caused" by the rock humans in a way, and so is Part 8.

He's done it before, it's relatively common for him to just start going into whatever stuff he's thinking about or learned about recently.

Can't tell if this chapter was trying to tell us that Enya and Hermes are rock women or not, and I thought the Devil's Palm was specifically a result of the corpse parts and/or the stand meteor but I guess now it is the result of rock humans setting up a special place, so idk how that relates to Jesus and the impact site and man that's a lot of retconning stuff lol

based on what little of the spoilered stuff i read: maybe araki is pulling a fast one on us and parts 7-8 are actually prequels to 1-6 in terms of the universe loops

I'm not keeping up with Part 8 at all until it's finished, but Araki's always had chapters which are just 'now for some lengthy exposition, right before the finale'. Does nobody remember the life and times of the Pillar Men, right before the showdown with Kars?

Yeah, this is that good crazy. That panel of what'shisface and a few other rock people(new enemies?) approaching the town from the woods had some real Titan energy, just something vaguely disturbing about it.

If that's actually what ends up happening then the last chapter of JoJolion needs to end with Emporio sitting in the car listening to Irene talk about how awesome Morioh is and that they're planning to visit Holly after their trip to Florida is over.

Then the car stops and they pick up another hitchhiker. Suprise! It's Foo Fighters!

Make it happen Araki, this chance will never come again :argh:

Those first few pages were a lot, to say the least. :stare:

The fact that Araki has made the rock humans so aggressively individualistic makes me think of how Josuke benefiting from the kindness of strangers and loved ones he's forgotten contrasts so starkly.
