I'm guessing there's definitely a hidden secondary effect, this seems too simple for something they've been searching for for like half of Part 8.

That’s possible, but it’s important to remember that Josuke only happened because Josefumi took Kira to the Wall Eyes and ate the New(ish?) Rokakaka at the same time. So even if there’s something weird going on with this plant, there’s something weirder that will go down in the future, presuming that Araki plans on bookending the part with someone else doing the Wall Eye Underground Fruit Fusion Dance.

Araki doesn’t really do a lot of redemption arcs beyond the usual “an enemy stand user becomes an ally of the protagonist” heel-face turn, I think. I’m sure somebody’ll correct me if I’m wrong, but when Araki does part-long character arcs, they’re more about self-discovery and determination; I can’t remember a lengthy arc where a terrible person became a good one, though there are a few examples of the opposite.

Johnny more or less gets a redemption arc. His arc isn't entirely about learning not to be a spoiled brat, but it's partially there.

Rohan is as close to that as you can get, and only because he's the star of spinoff stuff and gets more altruistic in them.

Hes also Araki's sorta self insert. So I dont think the intention for him was to stay a piece of poo poo for too long.

I appreciate Tooru taking the initiative to interrupt that, uh, moment. He's been around awhile and I've been totally whatever on him, but his deadpan reactions while observing these goobers is endearing him to me. Very cool that now Yasuho is the X factor that could change everything, the outsider saves the family, or helps shift their fortunes at least. Very JoJo

I like the reaction of Tooru realizing that he was getting stung and how he just had this face of "wait I'm being hurt by something? wtf?"

Couldn't you have said the same about the year+ D4C/Love Train sequence, which is now widely agreed to be one of the best parts of the series?

Reading it monthly and reading it all in one go are very different experiences, I’ve found.

Yeah, I've got a feeling JoJolion will be rated much more highly once people get a chance to binge the whole thing at their own pace rather than waiting month on month for it.

I'm really curious how D4C/Love Train was received at the time. I have to believe it was more well liked than this because... it seems like it was a lot more interesting and well written.

It really doesn't help that it seemed we were just about to get into how Josuke's bubbles are actually an implementation of the Spin, but then we cut away to Joshu being even grosser than usual.

Kart Barfunkel posted:Does anybody ITT have any fun JJBA merch? I used to buy a buttload of weird cheap stuff from Mandarake several years ago before Jojo got really popular in the west. The weirdest stuff I own or did own are probably the Bruno magnet set (from the train fight, where he unzips himself into pieces), a Moody Blues alarm clock, some drinking glasses with Araki's sketches on them, an Iggy gum holder, and Abbacchio makeup and chopsticks. Being a Vento Aureo fan in the west outside of Italy before the anime was funny because most people hated it.

Hahahaha I love that even Tooru, who is planning to kill them, was grossed out by Joshuu taking an act of selflessness and making it creepy

Joshu has always sucked and his skeeviness has always been surplus to requirements. This new chapter takes that and takes it from un-necessary and poo poo to 10 steps too far. This ain't it Araki, even if Joshu gets fuckin' owned at the end once again.

I've been told by notable fans like Woolie and Plague that Funny Valentine would philosophically wipe the floor with Naruto. Having not yet read part 7 I wonder why.

Physically maybe, Valentine has a particular ability that makes him extremely hard to kill. Naruto being a non-stand user wouldn't be able to see Valentine's stand, which puts him at a big disadvantage. On the other hand Naruto has a ton of tricks up his sleeve and is pretty clever, and can summon a giant frog, so I actually don't know how easily Valentine could win, if at all. Plus I've never watched/read Shippuden and onward so I'm basing this on what I remember of the first half, and I can only assume Naruto gets even stronger by the end. Philosophically, yeah I could see Valentine whooping Naruto. What's Naruto's opinions on napkins?

Naruto would've believed Valentine 100% and not go for the extra 1%.
