I want to say that Carne wouldn't have risen so high in the organization with a stand that does nothing, but keeping someone around just for the threat of sending them to kill themselves at someone sounds like something that would happen in Jojo

The Boss respects suicidal loyalty, what can I say.

A hitman who is basically 100% guaranteed to take out any conceivable target even if they die in the process is also nice to keep in your back pocket, even if it's only a one-time thing.

Carne is not only a high-ranking member of Pasione, he works directly for Diavolo, something only his most deadly and hosed up hatchetmen have achieved.

He is extremely deadly and probably pretty hosed up.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

The Shonen Jump app just alerted me to Chapter 9 of Stone Ocean being made available today; did I completely miss the news that Part 6's official manga localization began last week?

I just got the alert too, didn’t even know they finished Part 5. Guess I know what I’m buying next week

I don’t think they finished Part 5? Shonen Jump only has 33 chapters available and volume 4 drops in like 2 months. It seems Part 6 is just being done out of band with the Part 5 release for whatever reason because I see that the next chapter of Stone Ocean drops in 7 days, but Golden Wind doesn’t have an ETA for the next chapters.

I'm just wondering if we're in a wonderful world or they just kicked continuity to the kerb for this story

Anyways the first chapter was cool is not particularly special. I'm curious to see how it plays out though, invisibility by itself seems kinda prosaic in Jojo and I can't really imagine how it could do the real galaxy brain nonsense you expect from a Stand battle but I'd love to see them try

At the very least this shows a mastery of "bystanders flipping the gently caress out over weird, strangely specific things" which is intrinsic to Jojo.

No, unless Araki in part 9 or somewhere else says. "Yes the Hol Horse and Josuke manga happened."

Invisibility is a fun power to write because it's an inherently useful ability with a ceiling that doesn't veer into completely overpowered.

Plus I do think having it on a baby who can't control it but making it basically adopted by the Joestars with no follow up might be the biggest opportunity that was never followed up on in the series.

The main parts have always been informed by the previous parts even if you don't want to think of them as a uniform canon, I guess the difference here is that it seems like it might be disregarding Stone Ocean altogether and be an alternate sequel to DiU?
