I love how the game's original story goes all JJBA as gently caress with the twist of the entire game only happening because of a combination of Made in Heaven speeding up time while another person was using their own stand that freezes the world into a film strip for them to view events in the future and the past, with time going so fast that the film strip became a single frame with lots of jojo history compressed into one place which is why the time compression is happening.

Having fully caught up with this fight, I'd like to propose a hypothesis.

Quotes from 104:





And we can see that the spinning bubbles apparently creates invisible microbubbles that also spin, something Gappy can't see or even know about. Given that it already struck and wounded Wonder Of U, we know this works and that it follows the rules outlaid above -- that they exist, but not within this universe. Given that the various other final battles throughout the Jojo series have involved time/space in some way, I'm calling my shot: Gappy will defeat Wonder Of U by using the Spin's quantum mechanics and thus strike at Wonder Of U without actually striking at him / pursuing him. Some mixture of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(physics) and the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_exclusion_principle perhaps?

I'm also expecting some sort of parallel universe fuckery to come into play here, as we've already established (twice!) in previous parts (Made in Heaven, D4C) that parallel universes are not only fair game in Jojo but also actively employed, and that Wonder Of U makes an explicit mention of things that don't exist in this world not following this world's logic.

Even if I'm wrong, I think 104 gave us enough clues that, when the twist (spin) is revealed we'll go back and go "yeah we should've guessed":


That should enough to figure out the mystery, right?

I'm thinking more Quantum tunneling and just bypassing the aoe of the Calamity effects.

Rereading the last few issues, I think whats implied by Rai's sudden chumping is that he did successfully strike Wonder of U, but Wonder of U's ability extends to rewriting reality to make something not happen.

Carrying this further, this seems to imply that the Flashforward sequence (which occurs after where we are currently) will occur as a result of Tooru getting so incredibly wrecked by something (the falling plane plate) that he has to retroactively rewrite reality so he never went to the Higashikita estate. And since he doesn't go to the Higashikita estate, Joshuu's arm/Jobin's death/Norisuke's coma will be undone.

Norisuke's flashforward injury then happens anyway because F A T E

If Araki goes this route and this becomes the Bites the Dust arc I will forgive him for killing off Damo.

I haven’t seen any other theories on how you get to the flashforward from this point. Either Josuke’s bubbles manage to rewrite reality when they spin through the Head Doctor, or Tsurugi’s stand goes out of control and causes everyone to think everything is back to normal.

I’m struggling to even think of another way you get Joshu just casually hanging out with all his usual body parts and the family enjoying a nice laugh (while scattered around the house are the bloody remains of their family).

It even makes sense why Norisuke would still be dead—didn’t Jobin attack him originally? That’s not in the flow of calamity, that’s just regular old filicide.

(It also wouldn’t bring the new rokakaka back, presumably, since that would take away any reason for further conflict. There’s just one fruit left and two people who need it or they’ll die. Until that gets resolved, the part can’t end.)

Another point to this speculation is that Gappy didn't remember setting up the shred bubbles that took Rai out.

And concerning the flashforward There's a blink-and-you'll-miss it panel of Joshuu getting beaned in the mouth by a nut launched by Tsurugi stepping on some object. That some calamity poo poo?

I was going through Netflix's "Upcoming" section and the trailer for Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan was dubbed. Found it on Youtube as well:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HDVr2kuHsc

Pretty sure that's not Vic, but it sounds so much like his Rohan that I can barely tell. Which I'm torn on, I didn't hate the performance in a vacuum but it's weird that they got whoever this dude is to do an impression of a sex pest.

It's not weird at all. That's the established dub voice of the character of the series, even if it was established by a piece of poo poo, of course you'd want a new actor to at least land in the same general ballpark. People get disoriented when a character's voice wildly changes.

Eh, I've heard plenty of cases where voices have changed dramatically. But I'm basically just saying it's offputting because it's too good an impression. It would take me a while to notice the difference if I wasn't actively looking for nuances. It's totally a personal reaction, and I don't even have a huge problem with it because the old take on the character was solid, it's just... weird.

They also translated Heaven's Door literally: 『PORTA DO CÉU』. Which is one way to get around the copyrights issue.

Makes me wonder what they would do with names that can't be translated like that.
