Captain Baal posted:The only bomb I remember being responded to was the one that killed Yoshihiro in the house near the end. I think if the bomb causes structural damage then any noise that would come from said structural damage can alert somebody, but otherwise they are silent as no one seemed to hear the five different bombs Kira threw at Josuke in the span of 8 minutes. That or Jotaro and Koichi just for some reason thought the random explosions they were hearing were not a concern until they heard some glass shatter. it was just the rain

I looked up Ojiro because the manga clearly treats him as someone I should know and realized he's the creep Josuke beat early on. I don't know if I'd even realized it was the same dude Kira made eat his own fingers during the flashback

D4C definitely counts as a space-time Stand. doesn't even seem worth debating, D4C literally takes you to infinite parallel dimensions where something is different. it's like literally how timelines in DBZ works

I agree on Caato being the final boss in the end, and the structure for how the family will be divided but stand with Josuke. I just really liked the bit about Josuke embodying the self-sacrificial spirit of the Higashikata family and leveling up his Stand and matching their names

Brought To You By posted:This is the Doppio/Diavolo twist but done in a completely not bad way. Tooru and the head doctor are two rock humans that share the same body and take turns sleeping. Their shared stand is the one that keeps showing up behind everyone. And the reason Tooru only has pictures of the doctor but never the two together is because he's made unaware of his bodies condition and only knows the doctor from the fabricated memories that protect him from realizing the truth of his nature. ah man this is completely it. I still want Josuke to have King Crimson though

I think we're still a few days before when we saw Norisuke dead, although Tsurugi seemed fine there so I don't know what's happened unless they got the rokakaka and Norisuke used it to save him?? does this feel like we're getting to the end to y'all?

multijoe posted:Are they still dealing with the unbelievably old man? I've not read the manga in a couple of years but I swear they've been dealing with the insanely old man ever since I started following the thread again. the incredibly 89-year-old man's bullshit is becoming very interesting as of the last few months, although it certainly took a second. I think where we are with this flashback and the impending conference at the hospital is heading us toward the endgame of the part, which is exciting

do you guys think Akefu's Stand ability is anything like「Love Train」 ? at one point, I thought it must be related because the things happening to Josuke's party as they went after him seemed like forced misfortune, like tables and chairs getting in their way as they ran

do you guys think the head doctor is gonna straight up be a pillar man? that'd whip it's been talked about before but after Araki brought out Diego with The World at the end of SBR, I expect some kind of throwback with Josuke having King Crimson or something like a more direct pillar man <-> rock human. Josuke is a guy that's two dudes in one, after all

OFFICER LIGER posted:I feel like we are just past 2/3rds of jojolion pacing wise. I dont know why but us now starting to get to know the head doctor at this point feels like we're setting up for something major to happen...I think this is some kind of fake out plot wise though and we're going to see kaato as the main big bad with jobin usurping the doctor. if it's 2/3, that's crazy. I'd expect more like 4/5

overmind2000 posted:To contrast them with Josuke it's possible that the Head Doctor and Tooru are the result of the rokakaka splitting one person into two people. If neither of them is a Stand then that would explain the weird instantaneous connection they seem to share. Considering that the Head Doctor made a point of asking the reporter if he was pursuing him shortly before the reporter died it's pretty likely that the Head Doctor's Stand is the pursuer-targeting calamity attack and not the robot with the bone blades that ambushes people. If that was the case then I don't think he would have had to use the rokakaka exposure to decapitate the reporter. this is such a good idea...... I will say that I watched one of those theory videos a couple months ago and they foresaw Elvis being involved in some way, which is a funnyass thing to spoiler

Pigbuster posted:Yeah part 8 has drawn on references to every part at this point, even part 7 if the calamity stand is really called Crazy Train. It’s almost enough to make me worry that it’s the last one, perish the thought. I only just realized this calamity ability is kind of opposite to Love Train. the opposite of Jesus.......

Pigbuster posted:Mangadex has a new alternate translation from Dogpark that’s a massive improvement from HWMN. They got a couple words wrong this chapter, though, so I basically now just read Dogpark, take note of any confusing phrases, then check HWMN’s version to see if it got it right. Dogpark’s writing combined with HWMN’s accuracy would be the perfect translation but alas. which phrases seemed wonky in Dogpark's #99? having read HWMN's first, it just seemed like similar information but written like someone who knows English

you have to be a prick to be a Stand user. Koichi was nice and then he becomes more of a prick as he hangs out with the boys and that's why his Stand evolves

Tonio is the only person I thought of, but I think he has to be kind of an rear end in a top hat to gaslight Josuke about Okuyasu's body horror, and I guess he doesn't warn ANY of his customers about that!
