Today I learned Araki is 5 years younger than Toriyama.

But I had it on this thread's good authority that Araki has been around since the dawn of time. RIP Toriyama, though.

To not just shitpost, I've spent the last few months doing a reread of Jojo and it's great, obvoiously. What actually surprised me is I'm actually liking Jojolion a lot on a re-read. It's tremendously goofy in a good way.

Like, seriously, part 8 Josuke is up there with my favorite protagonists. The slight buck-teeth Araki gives him helps a lot, but he's just got some great faces in general. Sort of got it when reading monthly, but reading it all at once definitely helped in seeing that part 8 revels a lot in what made part 4 great. It's a trip seeing more clearly how Araki remixes all the elements from previous Jojo's in part 7 and 8. Steel Ball Run, which is still a stone cold classic btw, blends together just about every element worth a drat from the odd-numbered parts. It gets its structure from Stardust Crusaders, the direct characters and parallels from Phantom Blood, and its villain heirarchy from Golden Wind (also the final battle with Valentine is just Gold Expirience Requiem done right). Part 8's really similar but with the odd numbered parts. Stone men are just pillar men but more nuanced and with clearer goals as they're actually striving to integrate into society, small town mysteries is all part 4 and part 8 explores some more of that with gusto, and Part 6 is the actual mystery Jojo's and part 8 builds on a lotta stand powers from that part (eg. Mamezuku is just Jolyne, Tsurugi's Kiss but more metaphorical, California King Bed's just a riff on Jaile House Lock, etc.) Still got exactly 3 chapters left of my re-read on that part, 2 of which are that world's Josuke flashback. So if you've got another perspective on all this poo poo I'd be happy to hear it, just commenting since it's all near and dear to my heart rn.

So they're going to use the one lava rock to get the other lava rock, so they can rescue Charming Man's brother, and in the process incidentally earn $50 billion. Also, stands aren't caused by these mysterious lava tubes, or any mysterious natural phenomenon, but by the abstract concept of "absurdity". This part is so wild, I love it, it's like the universe is running on Twilight Zone rules, and people are figuring that out and how they can exploit it

I love how people in JoJo will seem so nice until they have the most minor of slights done against them, at which point they become the most unhinged individual and threaten to eat your kids or something.

Man. I wasn't expecting just a straight up transphobic hate crime in this chapter, feels gross! Especially when the manga (or at least this translation) is still referring to Dragona as male. Like, with Dragona being called Dragomi by the teacher, the groping being specifically framed as "Do you have a cock? What exactly is going on down here?" and the bully trying to cut her nipples off because "Someone like you really should have a bra," what's happening feels very clear, I've been in very similar situations. She's been sexually assaulted twice in 13 chapters and it feels like that's her main contribution to the story, being assaulted so Jodio can do something cool. The rest of the chapter was good though, this new plan is fun. I really like the idea of them stealing the entire mountain, really exciting plan with a lot of potential for interesting stuff. And if the manga turns around and for the rest of the part Dragona gets to be cool and have more agency a lot of my complaints here will be resolved.

It is quite uncomfortable to have that to happen to Dragona three times in 13 chapters, yes. Araki was always a 'fan' of using subjects like this to make his villains look bad, but it was never this common.

Lucy and Yasuho also got it pretty bad, though it wasn't this frontloaded. I do hope we can move on to other plot beats soon.

SKULL.GIF posted:What is the contextual significance of Dragona vs Dragomi? I think Dragomi is their birth name, Dragona (a female name) is the name they chose. They got dead named, which was just one more in a long string of transphobic insults and attacks.

There's a small translator's note on pg 8 that says 'Gomi = Trash'

I do hope we can move on to other plot beats soon. That, and I may just be completely forgetting something but going at her nipples with the eyelash curlers feels a good bit more specific and visceral than what they got. Not to say what happened with them was good or anything, but in my memory it's much more about the threat of assault and less actually seeing the assault (which is violent in a more mundane way than Jojo's basically every gets) on screen? I only read like a quarter of Jojolion though, so I could easily be forgetting or missing something there.

As the TL note says, gomi = trash, so it also could just be the bus driver calling Dragona trash under the pretense of "forgetting" her name.

I don't know if Dragona had made any attempt to transition at that point four years ago. They may have still be presenting as male.

School bullies can smell that poo poo on you, I was getting called slurs I didn't realize were accurate all throughout middle school, and at one point someone did a very toned down version of the bra thing. Nothing as bad as Dragona, but even if she wasn't actively transitioning (which it seems like she was, given the name thing) the bullies would be acting this way

I love that Jodio and Dragona are so close and that Jodio will actively just about kill a transphobe, but the violence doesn't need to be so present, visceral and common. Hopefully this is the last of it.
