It was a 'bot' that posted similar funny translations and nonsense aggregations of text but turned out to be a guy deliberately posting weirdly. Like it's cute but it's way too cute for it to be a legitmate machine translation

i think it's run through several different languages which still produces some really weird outcomes

The jojo google translated project guy made a post detailing his process:

https://twitter.com/JojoGTranslated/status/1658587373339541504

It's about what I expected/assumed based on the output tbh. All the translations were pretty believably tortured from google translate, and any semblance of flow or meaning from panel to panel I always chalked up to there being some degree of manual input, whether that was stopping the translation at a certain point or continuing to translate until you got something you liked. Looks like that was the case after all!

e: Tested a bit and yeah the explanation tracks with purely using obfuscator:

Kinda feels like there's not too much to say about this chapter. I liked the creative applications of Smooth Operators and The Hustle, particularly the latter, I wasn't high on Paco at all until this chapter. He's definitely a "cut the Gordian knot open" type for his approach to problems, which is amusing to see in the Jojo context.

Usagi continues to be the smartest on the team even if everyone else's ignoring him. I notice Rohan identified Dragona, Paco, and Meryl Mei, but hasn't mentioned a word yet about Usagi.

I don't think Rohan necessarily knows what the cat is doing and I have a feeling that not only the cat's gonna escape with the diamond, the diamond is also going to be Plot Important.

It's fun to have people just trying to beat up Rohan again. Paco using his stand to spider-man around is really cool, I'm excited to see more of his power.

If we're going by Part 5 parallels then the diamond might be this part's equivalent of the Requiem Arrow.

"It's a Stand ability used by the cat!" "That doesn't make sense." "What do you mean it doesn't make sense!? It's a psychic powers! It doesn't HAVE to make sense!"

This might be the most sensible character to ever appear in JoJo.

I actually kind of think that the cat IS some form of security system - it feels very Rohan to have a pet stand user cat that he uses as a pseudo guard dog.

In the previous chapter Rohan saw the cat and got confused about where it came from and who it belonged to.

Rereading the chapter it really stands out to me that when Rohan tosses the diamond at Usagi/Dragona it immediately activates Heaven's Door on both of them upon touching them. The rest of the chapter makes it explicit that Rohan has to touch someone with his fingers to activate Heaven's Door (which is why Paco is restraining his hands, and when Paco is distracted by the diamond toss, Rohan is able to successfully touch Paco and bookify him). Does the diamond transfer/amplify Stand powers?

If that's the case then that explains why Rohan says Dragona would be 'in trouble' if they touched the diamond earlier.


edit: I was not reading carefully enough, there's a panel where Rohan slaps Usagi after he catches the diamond. Dragona isn't affected.

Don't worry, in a few chapters he'll be destitute and forced to work for Meryl Mei with them or something, because Araki loves to torture his fav.
