My favorite bit of Araki stealing from other things is how Jail House Lock!, Part 1 was on shelves one month after Memento opened in Japan

Do you think that Jodio or anyone on his side of the family knows about what happened to Holly? It's been at least ten years since the events of JoJolion, Holly being in a coma with both her kids having died seems like a pretty big thing

thanks lol, i dropped out of jojolion very early on (bathtub arc?) because i first read jojo when steel ball run ended, and i keep forgetting the comic was still ongoing. jojolion felt like a lot of stuff getting dropped in favour of new, insane plot points and lore, which are all fascinating but i was more invested in how gappy was supposed to reconcile with his past and the mother of one of his past selves (which never came to fruition), but instead the third act was about protecting an orchard through murders. jojolands look very promising right now and i'm excited to see how many times the same cops get hosed up

I've heard it said that Araki's writing process is such that he will gladly just drop an idea he was developing if he happens to come up with something that grabs him more, even if it seems to come out of nowhere and fucks up pre-established foreshadowing, under the logic of "why give the audience an idea I'm less interested in? If it's boring to write, it'll be boring to read." I theorize that a monthly release schedule just gives him more time to get more weird ideas that derail the plot a bit. This was less a problem in SRB because it all had an obvious theme and throughline that keeps him on course. He went into it having cowboys, a cross country race, and at least the broad strokes of the villain, and ideas can be shuffled around that core and it all still feels cohesive. Jojolion, though? It's a Twin Peaks existential mystery he's making up as he goes along because he can't fall back on the Columbo method of giving away the mystery up front and just following how it gets revealed to the protagonist. So things got a bit... weird. JojoLands might fare better, because at least so far it has a strong setting and premise: Hawaii and Crime Hoodlums. Maybe it'll all hold together better this time?

Since Araki's playing the hits now, I hope there's 3 chapters of Diavolo appearing and ending in his death at the end before we get back to the regular story.

The great thing about Jojos is that also works for several other characters, including two characters that can actually control where their projectiles go.

Apparently his argument is that certain aspects of the writing of Jojo got better with each part, not that each part gets better than the last.

I would disagree with that, Venti Aureo was Araki's biggest fumble by a country mile and it sounds like Jojolion wasn't a ton better, whereas Stardust Crusaders is a simple but very competently executed adventure story (but also I'm not watching that video to disagree further lol)

I think part 7 feels the most complete start to finish, but I wonder how much getting off a weekly schedule helped for more long term planning. Having the main character get an evolving stand and it being a country long trip helps too.

Just goes to show a long form road trip where the characters have to get from point a to point b and have alot of drama and adventures along the way is the perfect structural setup for a Jojo arc, it plays to all of Araki's strengths and minimises his weaknesses. Given Jojolion mimicked DiU less successfully I wonder if Jojolands is going to be a more freeform and less structured tour of Hawaii similar to how VA did for Italy?

I love DiU, but not really for its central story - it's the characters and fights that really elevate it. The actual plot of part 4 is very aimless and a lot of it feels like it's just killing time until Araki decides they encounter whichever bad guy they're looking for. This doesn't feel like a huge problem in part 4 since the characters and setting are fairly relaxed, but it does lack the driving force momentum of most other parts. Part 6 seems to be the only part that is mostly set in a single location that still manages to maintain a pretty motivated plot, but even then a few of the encounters feel a bit "filler" ish in the sense that they don't really seem to move the story forward. I'm fine with these kind of fights, but they feel much more natural in road trip / travel style stories since it can just be "the gang gets to a new town / country / whatever, of course there's some new bad dude waiting for them."

Bisse posted:Vento Aureo would like to piss on your thesis. If Araki wanted to do the sights of Italy he should have had it be an ongoing treasure hunt or something. Structuring the entire story as a series of fetch quests delivered out by NPC questgivers without any overriding purpose just makes the core of the story kinda hollow, nothing flows into the next thing and alot of the disgressions end up being pointless (like remember they have to go to Sardinia to find out Diavolo's identity, did that help *at all*?). There's still some cool fights and character scenes but because the grander plot they all tie into is just so filmsy it ends up being way less than the sum of its parts
