It blows my mind that we've reached the point where JoJo's protagonists are teenagers during or after 2020

We're going on an adventure with a group that has at least one character that's spent the past few years calling people sus

At the risk of holding Araki too hard to reality; it was only around late last year that businesses took down their "YOU MUST WEAR MASKS" signs and by now all of the locals have stopped wearing masks. So I'm going to assume this series takes place tomorrow.

The funniest thing about that chapter is how Rohan doesn’t care that his shadow self shacked up with a crazy stalker with a pet crocodile, but is instead super mad that his alternate self Compromised His Artistic Integrity.

Personally the best part for me is his efforts to undo the doppleganger's actions were mostly in vain because it was the editor who changed the design and lied to his face about him being the one who did it. They deserve each other.

Rohan in the original part 4 manga is constantly being a freak and a perv. The only reason he didn't get an even more intimate read about a teenage girls first menstruation was Koichi was there to shame him.

They're equally poo poo people. Rohan bridges that by being competent and determined. Joshuu bridges it being even more pathetic but determined.

The milargo man arc is just a Thus Spoke chapter for a reason and you can easily swap Rohan in.

I think Rohan and Dio are very similar characters in alot of respects, Rohan's megalomania is just directed in a slightly healthier direction than 'wants to conquer the world and dominate everyone'

except for that time he sexually assaulted a woman. and also that other time he sexually assaulted a woman.

rohan is lovable because he's a smug prick that gets owned a lot by his own pride and never learns anything from it, joshuu is just vile and deserved way worse than he got

So, I think Jodio's Stand makes water sprinkler stuff but when it comes out of the Stand they're as strong as a punch. I think those cops were getting punched personally.

Also, I can't wait until Dragona uses their Stand to turn themself into an Italian dragon.

with how Soft & Wet eventually came round to being spin powered/influenced, a stand that apparently can make it rain with extreme force as a base power and has a water jet cutter nozzle on its bottom is probably going to get into some wild shenanigans when spin probably comes back.

This is true, but most stand users in general are awful people when they first appear. Then they get beaten up once, suddenly start behaving themselves and kind of randomly get forgiven.

There are plenty of characters that are complete dickheads at first, get defeated, then hang around as an ally or even a JoBro and get a chance to redeem themselves later on. The difference is the Higashikatas don’t really do anything after their first loss, or they actively get worse over time.

Joshuu is just terrible though. If most characters act like an rear end in a top hat with their stand, then Joshuu acts like an rear end in a top hat as his core personality.

My stand NOVEMBER RAIN has harnessed the spin from the Coriolis Effect to snap everybody in half. Do not question the physics involved.

Yeah it's a proud Jojo tradition to have future party members be just outstandingly, ridiculously evil and/or weird when they first show up. Bruno is my go-to on that front because I'm never ready for what a complete freak he is when he first shows up. Rohan probably changes the least but he does tone it down from laughing maniacally while torturing Koichi.

Meanwhile, the Higshikata Roll Call in order of shittiness, endgame part 8 spoilers.

Hato: Pure angel. Did nothing wrong besides having terrible taste in men.
Norisuke: Early creepy monologues aside, ended up a stand-up dude. Not a particularly successful parent though.
Tsurugi: Was fairly lovely but was also a child on curse death row so I'm cutting him a lot of slack.
Daiya: Tried to brainwash an amnesiac man, pretty hosed up,. Ends up low on the list because she did nothing whatsoever afterward.
Mitsuba: A self-absorbed dickhead. Had a cool redeeming moment with her big fight but then tried to kill Yasuho during the finale, so welp.
Jobin: Selfish dumbass. Did care about his son but also nearly got everyone killed multiple times(and did get himself killed) by being fundamentally unable to interact with the world in a way that wasn't accruing power for himself.
Kaato: The reason said dumbass was so dumb. Literal child murderer. Did genuinely care about her son and grandchild at least.
Joshuu: Women Assaulter, hyper-aggressive creep who never learns anything. Any glimpses of a redeeming quality are always swiftly snuffed out by his impulsively selfish nature.
