I'm so loving ready to get weird with it once again.

There's also another potential leak that either we're doing two protagonists, or one of the jobros is Jodio's sibling, Dragona Joestar, whose stand is named Smooth Operator.

I do not expect this to go well. Not the plot of the story but like

Dragona is gonna have some Discourse about him. But I'm down with it.

Smooth Operators is a cool as gently caress stand.

It kinda bugs me how the opening pages are super fine, beautiful linework (like in SBR) but then get scratchy and coarse again in the middle (like the bad parts of JJL).

It's not good how the first thing that happens to Dragona is molestation... but there's a chance, probably not super high, that they're not presented as freakish, weird or anything odd.

I'm hoping that once JJLa settles in, they're just femme presenting and no one treats it weird.

Jodio's pretty great already and the premise is great. The stands are cool too

I think that's an opinion that would mostly come out in the story from the villains, Araki likes writing people we're supposed to hate as SUPER terrible

True, we just don't need them to be that way.

I think Dragona is cool. I wouldn't expect Japan to have exactly the same as Western views on gender, so I'm taking it in stride.

Jodio/Dragona is giving me Giorno/Bruno & Jolyne/Ermes vibes. But so far I think these two are almost immediately the protagonists with the most personality except maybe Joseph.

Yeah, I love what an arrogant little poo poo Jodio is already. That frame of him being cool and surrounded by girls when he describes himself is so good.

A heist based story can be cool with Araki’s writing style. Hope there’s downtime now and again though

Jodio definitely has the strongest start for any JoJo

I need to know if Araki knows Spanish, naming the most "jerkass" protagonist Fucker Joestar can't be a coincidence.

It probably is but one can dream

Jodio and Dragona using their small fortune to rent out the movie theater to watch the latest pirate movie starring Johnny Depp.

Also hope Big Boss lady sticks around love her design.

What strikes me about Jodio is how drat verbose he is with his internal monologue, I don't think any other Jojo has been even 1/3 as verbose?

I love how Jodio is the anti-Giorno in that he's a drug mule. JoJoLands off to a strong start so far. Given how in retrospect the heist was extremely difficult for them and they needed all 4 of them to accomplish it and never would've done it with 3, I'm guessing the Japanese man might be either Josuke or Tsurugi.

tbf Jodio's narration and every character besides cops, who are naturally evil, don't treat them as anything weird.

A sprinkler system that beats the poo poo out of people(and also melts them???) is super weird/interesting though, it's like an enemy-of-the-week stand

Haven’t read the chapter yet just looked at the first page

i can recognise and name every stand except the purple one in front of D4C. Closest match I found is one of the football twin from part eights stand. Does anyone know what the gently caress it is?

Okay it is the one I thought then just with a bit of a redesign. Nothing else looked remotely close. Also lmfao that it and black sabbath are in that lineup

It's feels really nice to have more Jojo, and I liked that it dialed back on the mysteries at the start in contrast to JJL, which just went four nuts.

Protagonists look fun too, and even if the first thing that happens is the Dragona getting sexually assaulted sucks, the gently caress the police message is strong on this one.

Because of the quote by "a mangaka" at the start, I'm thinking the tourist is gonna be Rohan

It's just holding a knife for some reason, I also have no idea what the gently caress that thing is.

It's Ebony Devil, which is a very strange choice for a spread of protagonist/major antagonist Stands.

Araki is relieved to be setting a Jojo outside of Japan again, he can name characters after random bullshit he likes again.

The you so much lol that would have driven me crazy. I knew all the SDC stands back to front I thought so just hadn’t bothered checking that list. Or had only seen the doll.

Imo having sabbath on there is about as strange though it looks cool af unlike this little turd

What a weirdly deep pull.

I'm honestly surprised Araki even remembered it exists, though he always does have a fondness for Stands he likes to draw

Lol I think I just figured out what Jodio's Stand visual influences are drawn from. It's based on a palm tree. Long spindly stalks, sharp pointed leaves, "coconut" within the leaves. Kills by conking you from above.

main villain: my stand can freely control time, i can move back to any point and kill you before you were born, i can fast forward and move at the speed of light, i can *cartoon bonk sound effect, dies*
