Tooru doens't know that Norisuke is already dead. I refuse to believe this will stick for Jobin.

It's standard wonky translation, but i read it as "Jouuuubin is already dead. Norisuke, Tsurugi, and Mitsuba soon will be too." - as in he knows Jobin is dead because he killed Jobin himself, but not the others, but has plans to kill them.

I wonder if Tooru is the one who gave Yasuho the rock bug that got her all hosed up

Also, I really want to believe that the mysterious face Gappy remembers is Gyro and that the bubbles actually just being threads that spin will lead to some realization and that it ties back to Gappy's eyes having half the Johnny fire determination and so he remembered maybe some of Johnny's memories mixed with other stuff and has been naturally spinning things since.

i know there's a lot of interpretations people can make if they want but there's literally no scenario where jojolion isn't at like an absolute bare minimum 80-85% done at this point, and that's handily allowing for cato to pop in at some point here soon
Yeah, the build-up to the New Rokakaka harvest is a bit much for just another in-between miniclimax. When that countdown hits zero, something decisive is going to happen, though it doesn't have to be the final battle (and it doesn't necessarily have to involve Tooru; there's enough other options for people who could end up with a Rokakaka-upgrade).

Just take all the characters, divide them into two groups, merge each group together via rokoka shenanigans, then have those frankenstein jojos beat each other up with their monster stands

Neat!

So if Kaato could end up being the main villain/villain in general what's she going to do at this point that would involve Josuke? She doesn't have a combat Stand and the only person in her corner, Jobin, is probably dead. Unless she goes outside to take the rokakaka from Yasuho that'll be lost as well and if that happens I don't really know what part she'd play aside from trying to gain control of the Higashikata estate following Norisuke's likely death. Araki's been dropping bombs every chapter for a while now but if there's something here I don't think I can see it.

Hasn't Araki been asked about story inconsistencies before and his answer was literally "I forgot"?

The one and only time I remember Araki specifically addressing a continuity error was in this afterword from Volume 4 (where Zeppeli said he was unmarried and had no family)

quote:

Thank you for reading Jojo.

Why would I, the author, suddenly write an afterword in this fourth volume? It is because while Zeppeli's grandson Caesar has appeared in Jojo, available from Jump Comics, there is a grave error regarding Caesar's existence in Jojo Volume 4.

Many people have voiced their objections in letters and phone calls to me. Angered, despairing, and sorrowful boys and girls have been telling me, "I've had enough of your crap" or "Stop being such a sloppy writer!" or "You adults are all liars!"
(Woah, there! If you didn't notice anything wrong, dear reader, please don't go out of your way to look for it!)

And so, I am writing this afterword to correct that error and apologize.

Jojo is build upon a grand plan and precise detailing, but perhaps cracks and flaws are bound to appear if I write for long enough.

To the boys and girls who are thinking "adults are all liars", I sincerely apologize. Adults don't lie. They just make mistakes.

Well then, I hope you will continue to support Jojo.

His needs to be a special ED for the Ringo episode. Starting when Gyro resolves himself to fight to the death and kicking in the door for the final exchanges. Only being muted when there's dialogue. Because that's the amount of respect that moment deserves.

Other than I Want You and Freek'n U this isn't true at all, though?

Roundabout came out nearly 20 years before pt1, Walk Like An Egyptian came out 3 years before pt3, Modern Crusaders came 5 years after pt5 started.

Tsurugi could probably pull it off if he wasn't currently turning into his Stand, unless his powers are going haywire and most of what we've seen hasn't actually happened.

I assumed that meant "this power can do more than it might appear", as evidenced by him insta-killing a guy with it. But I could be forgetting the line.

Maybe one of the coolest-looking efforts by Araki I’ve seen in awhile. I don’t remember the hospital being so architecturally interesting, and the two-page spreads are killer throughout, including one that’ll end up high on my “I hope I see this bit of Jojo animated before I go” list. Also a great Gappy one-liner!

Just one of those chapters that has a bit of everything that reminds you why Araki’s one of the all-time greats.
