Shocked I tell you

I'm just happy to see he's stil getting work, I took his particular 'forced to retire' as 'yep he just shot his loving head off'

The chapter confirmed he was alive right after. When the medics were taking him away, they stated the bullets only grazed his temple and he got very lucky. (Not knowing about the bad luck of him shooting himself.)

These colours don't run.

I think they say that the bullet curved through his forehead and went out of the top of his skull. Non lethally, of course.

I thought the bullets vanished once he went unconscious so they didn’t reach his brain. Anyway Josuke is here now so he can shoot himself as much as he wants

Over in the anime thread someone said they think part 5's train fight is the best stand fight in the franchise and I think they might be right? There's a handful I'd argue you could put above it (Sugar Mountain/Tattoo You, California King Bed, Vitamin C, Civil war)

Yeah, that was me, and just art wise and how it's laid out if the best Araki has done, I think.

Best jojo fights IMO:
1: Sugar Mountain/Tattoo You (It's a fun puzzle fight that ends in a quick and brutal gunfight that's over in a flash and leaves us with such a sweet character moment for Gyro and Johnny)
2: Vitamin C
3: Civil War
4: Beetle Battle
5: California King Bed (the page of Daiya talking about wanting to kiss Josuke and make him love her that ends with a panel of Gappy just saying "How can I defeat her?" is peak JoJo writing IMO)
6: True Man's World
7: Part 4 Final Battle
8: Part 5 Train Battle
9: Part 3 Final Battle
10: White Album

It's also a fight that only Gappy could be a victim of. Most jojo's are very Unhorny and Jolyne's too angry to get tricked like that.

The fight gets a weird energy if you reread parts of it and forget that Daiya's blind. Key moments keep devolving into "wait why's Gappy doing that this doesn't make any loving sense"

My favourite part is when Norisuke spots them in bed, swears bloody murder on Gappy... and then quietly leaves without disturbing them. I'm not sure it's even intentional, but it says so much about Norisuke as a character.

I really appreciate the panel that reminds us that Star Platinum is invisible to non-Stand-users and that Jotaro's Stand is really just exceptionally powerful psychokinesis (plus time manipulation).

I think it's funnier if it was with OG Josuke or Johnathan. Just two sweet boys going "Miss...miss please this is indecent."


Worst would be Johnny though. He'd just shoot her.

you put josuke in and the whole battle is him perfectly avoiding fussing over daiya except okuyasu keeps using The Hand to try and wingman him like 'HELL YEAH BROTHER' having no idea he keeps making it worse and worse

It ends with Rohan walking in (Obviously looking for Koichi to get into more Shenanigans with) and seeing Josuke in a compromising position, giving Josuke enough shame to escape.



EDIT: Civil war is a fight I don't see get a lot of love for what I think gives us some all time moments. Gyro thinking about the teddy bears he's lost and torn as a sin, the guys whole backstory, Johnny's power up, the whole monologue the antagonist does. A perfect fight.

The final battle of SBR is the best if only because it allows me to describe it as, “an Italian cowboy/executioner with steel balls and a paraplegic jockey with spinning nails face off against the president of the United States, who is armed with the corpse of Jesus Christ,” which rules.

To make it just a LITTLE but weirder, you should specify that they're spinning fingernails

Random question based on a discussion being had in a different thread, does anyone who’s been a long time fan have an idea of when fansub tapes of the original OVA started circulating in the west? Trying to see if some events line up.
