Sleep, rest, do your best.
The level of brilliance Araki had of explaining what’s up with the rock humans as “yeah they’re raised by wasps” and just leaving it at that. I can’t hate part 8 even though it’s the least cohesive part by a huge margin, it’s just too good when it’s good.

I get the feeling that Part 9 will have the Rock Humans return. There’s just too much left on the table between all the rock human lore (Hermes???) and the holy sites, corpse parts, etc. carried over from part 7.

But then again, this is Araki, so who really knows.

Part 9 will reveal that the meteor that crashed to earth in part 7 was actually Kars from part 2

I have been waiting for this truth to be revealed since the origins of the arrows was explained in part 5.

Alt-Universe Kars is actually Gari Numan. It’s a common mistake.

Kars reappears in the SBR-verse because Araki purposefully lied to us by saying the two major Universes had no connection. It was all planned in his head from over a decade ago.

I think Hermes and Enya were just shown to show how rock humans are indistinguishable from regular humans, by showing the two races next to each other. I don't think it was meant to imply that Hermes and Enya were rock humans.

I kind of hope we have a Rock Human ally in Part 9. Might be interesting to have one in a role aside from just trying to screw over or murder the protagonists.

Bring back Rock humans but also bring back the stone masks, hamon, the arrow, and jesus christ body parts.

Just finished reading Purple Haze feedback, I like how the mask returns but is immediately nope'd.

TheLoneStar

Had no idea Purple Haze Feedback had the Stone Mask in it. Never heard anyone mention that.

Also it'd be kind of weird to have an entire part pretty much centered around Rock Humans and their dealings just for them to never show up in Part 9. Even the Holy Corpse got a small part to play in JoJolion.

We still had DIO which was a byproduct of all that. It wasn't like the Stone Mask or the Pillar Men just stopped being relevant the Part after they got introduced.

Exactly this. If anyone has trouble imagining this, this helpful diagram should make everything clear



Parts 1-6 occur in the regular universe, we're currently in the antiuniverse. What goes up must come down, and Kars' trajectory will lead him inevitably back to Earth

The only reason DIO was there in Stardust Crusaders was because of the Stone Mask they crafted, so not 100%.

Short but I enjoyed it. I started reading Jorge Joestar only just now. I definitely got a sense of closure for part5 with purple haze feedback and would love to see it animated Kishibe Rohan style.


I just googled the titles with the word english and found translated PDFs pretty easily.

If we're talking about hosed up poo poo villains did then Dio making a mother eat her own baby is definitely worth mentioning.

Hey now, she did that of her own volition! Dio didn't have direct control over the vampires he spawned. Dio is a literal puppykiller, but he kept his word there.
