it would probably help to let this current part end next month before you start blindly hoping the next one is going to be announced any moment now

It's Araki, if it came out that he was starting parts 9 and 10 concurrently; with part 9 ditching stands for teen romance, my only reaction would be "Yea, I can see him doing that."

It may be naive hope, but the guy has shown he's willing to defy any expectations.

Jojomama is 100% real, just like Jouta Kujo and their stand, Charmy Green.

But only for, like 10-15 episodes, then Stands are back again.

I really love the fascinatingly odd notes Araki leaves in JoJolion's volumes. Read one the other day about how he dislikes the song "Oh My Darling, Clementine" and that was the entirety of it.

There are some things I just kinda have fun drawing. Previously, I really enjoyed doing the character Polnareff’s hairstyle, the original Josuke’s hairstyle, Killer Queen’s whole design, and Soft & Wet’s ears. Those sort of drawings where you draw them up with a “swish swish”, I go “Ooh!” from the impression it gives myself. This time, I have a lot of fun drawing Yasuho-chan’s skirt and don’t want to let anyone else draw it, but whenever I do draw it, I always think the flowers on the skirt have got to feel lumpy on her butt so she can’t sit down. Are you okay, Yasuho? I’m a little worried.

Okay the Kira torture room a tually kind of has an explanation. A few chapters after its first shown, it's stated that the room was Yotsuyu's while he worked on designing the house / fruit parlor. We now know he was actively tracking down Kira, so it actually makes some sense that he would have some of Kira's things in his room.

With the benefit of hindsight, I'm a tually not fully convinced Araki meant for the Higashikatas to be villains initially, only for them to APPEAR villainous. Granted I still have no clue why Norisuke said he'd make Gappu his slave.

Man of the house has to set some ground rules.

Was that said before or after Norisuke thought Gappy hooked up with his blind daughter?

Edit: Had a thought: what are the chances that Araki makes JoJo9 star a rock human JoJo? Could that even be biologically possible? Assuming whatever’s next is the descendant of Gappy, maybe.

Whatever happens in this final upcoming chapter it does feel like the rock humans deserve something of a redemption for the difficulty of their lives that does feel resolved as is.

If we get a part 9 I’m guessing it will be someone on the extended Joestar/Akira/Kujo family tree rather than Josuke’s kid. I’m also willing to bet we will never see or hear about rock humans again.

Flashback man is Fumi (Joseph?) and the guardrail story is something Holly is telling Josuke one minute after the flashforward right before Karera shows up on the last page

Once there was a 'man' named 'Running Wild'. He had 'fame', 'power', and 'wealth' beyond your 'wildest dreams'. Before they hung him from the gallows, these were the 'final words' he said: "My 'fortune'....is yours for the 'taking'......I left 'everything' I 'own' in 'One Piece'.......Now you just have to 'find it'." Ever since, pirates from 'all over the world' set sail for the 'Sunset on the Golden Age', looking for 'One Piece', the treasure that would 'make their dreams come true'.

Okay so I spent last afternoon rereading JoJolion up to the current chapter and...I actually like it a lot more now? It's definitely a lot more consistent than what I originally thought, especially if you read it all in one go. The only two major inconsistencies are easy to clear up, too, if you're willing to employ a bit of headcanon:

1. Karera and the picture she shows Gappy: Karera is in possession of a picture of her with Kira and Josefumi, which is impossible given that Kira doesn't even know who she is when he dies. To fix this: in the chapter where Kira and Josefumi get attacked by Vitamin C, pretend that instead of saying he doesn't know who she is, Kira says something like, "oh, it's that girl you know, the one who took a picture of us," or something like that.

2. The flashforward: just excise it. Skip it and pretend it doesn't exist. It has no bearing on anything.


I don't know what's going to happen in the final chapter but I'm a lot more positive on the series as a whole now.

The next JoJo part will take place in Victorian England and star a polite rich boy dealing with his evil adopted brother. Most fighters will have the same stand that lets them pull off supernatural feats with proper breathing techniques.

...ah, sounds stupid.

i'm still holding to my initial assessment that gappy is going to end up with twin kids because he has 4 nads (and that is 100% something araki would do even if it makes no sense) and it'll be slightly in the future and they'll be loosely based off of giorno and jolyne
