A big wonder going into part 9 is if we'll get any betrayals in the team dynamic. Araki avoids going that route w nearly every cast I think, the power of friendship simply matters too much, and even when delving into ambiguity, the moral dimension to JoJo's storytelling has remained pretty straightforward. Whereas this is a heist narrative w two bros and two other jabronis and the dynamic doesn't seem nearly as warm as the groups in 5 or 3.

9 days. from March 29 to April 6

You are right.

Day 1 Giorno robs Koichi events go on to defeating Black Sabbath. Day 2 Giorno joins Bruno and Polpo dies. Day 3 Gang gets Polpo's treasure and meets Trish. Day 4 Gang kills Formaggio to Melone. Day 5 Ghiaccio fight to Notorious BIG fight. Day 6 nothing happens, Day 7 nothing happens. Day 8 Abbacchio and Nero are killed and it ends with SC Requiem body swapping everyone. Day 9 Climax.

I messed up the days cause I did not realize there were two blank days.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
Usagi seems so obviously flaky and suspicious right off the bad that it feels kind of like a foregone conclusion that he's going to be here for the whole story.

If it's going to be a riff off of VA Jodio fighting traitors whilst staying loyal to the mob would be a twist on the premise that would fit Jodio actually being into the drug trade too?

I'm not really expecting there to be many major returning characters from previous parts though I guess Johnny and Lucy did eventually appear in Part 8 so maybe its more likely than i'm thinking.

Kars and the Pillar Men work great in their story and are a ton of fun, they’re also present for the majority of the narrative and gave a nice ticking clock aspect. They are, however, very straightforward and don’t leave much to talk about. Kars’ meteor crashing down in the middle of another story arc to cause problems would be the hypest poo poo I have ever seen, however.

Edit: apparently Kars is a secondary protagonist in the Jorge Joestar novels which also contain the descendants of Funny Valentine: Funnier Valentine and The Funniest Valentine.

There are like 7, but only 2 that people really talk about. There's Purple Haze Feedback, which is a sequel to Vento Aureo focusing on Fugo, and then there's Jorge Joestar which is absurd even by Jojo standards. You should read the wiki page

The others include: an extra adventure that takes place during part 3, one that somehow fits inside part 5, a sequel to part 4, Dio's journal, and an ongoing one about Lisa Lisa investigating stand users and the arrow for the speedwagon foundation

One of the characters in Jorge Joestar has a stand named NYPD Blue and it's just a fat angry New York cop wearing an "I ❤ NY" t-shirt who doesn't know he's a stand. His ability is to access CCTV footage from anywhere in the world and he also has a normal gun he can shoot you with.

Read Jorge Joestar.

I was reading Jojowiki page late at night for it and woke my husband up with laughter when I got to that stand and it just said "Abilities: Gun"

Don't waste your time with him. The guy is a complete buzzkill. We've invited him out before-you can't tell if he's having a good time or not. Yoshikage Kira. Age 33. Single. He's hard working. Competent. But he's got no passion. He's got that elegant, sort of high-class look and demeanor that makes him popular with the ladies at work, but the company basically uses him like a gofer. It's not that he's a bad guy. But he's a nobody-the kind of man who just fades into the background.

We know that even without stands, people in this world have 「abilities」such as 「the ripple」. Perhaps Yoshikage Kira has one such 「ability」 that allows him to go 「unnoticed 」.

There lived a man so boring that Yoshikage Kira seemed exciting in comparison. It's all in how you carry yourself.
