I think it helps that 3/4 members of the cast already know each other, so we don't have to see an extended period of them establishing the group dynamic. Usagi's literally crashed into their little group and he's the cause of the friction, while still being entertaining.

Also I was ride or die for Jodio and Dragona ever since their very first scene. That helps a lot.

Regardless of what happens with the rest of Jojolands, it had an amazing first chapter. Maybe the strongest in all of Jojo.

Just for fun, all parts except 8, saw anime for 1-6 so ranking first eps there and first chap for 7/9:

9 - It’s cop killin time
2 - It’s cop killin street magician time
7 - It’s the wild wild west, also balls to the walls quite literally
3 - How did my well-mannered good son end up behind bars???
5 - Fuckin Naples, svelte gangbros, and damagereverting frogs, cool start and a good time.
4 - Slow start
6 - It’s cop kill- oh no
1 - Dio knows how to enter stage, but thats about it

One thing I want to point out about J9J9 so far is that Araki has been going above and beyond his usual standard on building and establishing tension. These 8 chapters we've gotten so far are more tense than most of Jojolion combined.

So Usagi absolutely just swiped that watch, right?

I'm not sure but I think the lava rock teleported it to Dragona's pocket.

I'd rank part eight at number two because it has joshu at his most psychotic

CodfishCartographer posted:

Yeah the gang in this part is very strongly written, each has their own very distinct and memorable personality and they all bounce off each other in fun ways. Jojolion had some fun characters, but the personalities of the core trio of Josuke Yasuho and Rai were...pretty bland. They were mostly all just Nice People with some weird hobbies or whatever.

It's a bit weird to call Rai part of a Core Trio. I can't remember him ever interacting with Yasuho. Also he made his first appearance at chapter 64 past the halfway point of the series.

He probably has more interactions with Josuke and Yasuho than the Higashikata family.

P 9 has been kinda mid for me so far, guess it's those starting chapters of a monthly series blues but I didn't care about the cat fight at all and am mostly just wantin them to get on w this lava rock business already. Jodio's cool but I don't rate most of the cast yet, need a lil more time w em; Dragona's done nothing yet, Paco's just kinda there. Jodio better watch out for his total pagetime if Usagi's gonna be the Polnareff of the part the way he's threatening to be. The way Rohan had more cool in his pinky than all of them put together lol

I will say the cat fight ended up resolving in a really lame way, but it was at the very least mercifully short. The fight against Rohan was fun though.

Usagi pickpocketed the lava rock from Dragona, at which point the lava rock teleported the rock to Usagi's pocket.

Usagi would make fun of Josuke's hair whenever they meet, get pummelled into a pulp every single time, and still keep doing it. He would somehow make a handsome profit from that.

I got introduced to Gregory Horror Show, and this seems like it'd be a fun style of game for Diamond is Unbreakable or JoJolion. You even have a guy with The World.

Anyway, that aside, Yuya's in ASBR.

Rock human or new version of Ktnum?

Anyway what I got from the whole lava rock test is that the items don’t teleport or anything, they physically move to the owner of the rock through the unconscious actions of people(even stands). So what happens if it’s physically impossible for the item to move? Like in a locked safe at the bottom of the ocean or something
