Correct. He also got half of each eyeball from Kira.

Has Araki made any noises about a part 9? Or is he done (again) with JoJo?

If I had one serious criticism of Araki's writing style, it's that he should write parts of the story that aren't 'and then they were attacked by another enemy Stand user'. Every part from SDC onwards suffers from enemy of the week fatigue at some point, and for my money VA was sunk by it. It's okay to give your characters some downtime, and even have them react to things other than people trying to kill them!

Every part should have an "italian restaurant" episode.

My only problem with GD&BB is the pseudo-scientific reason Araki gave for Grateful Dead not affecting Trish as much as the guys.

What if the Head Doctor stand is an automatic stand and the user doesn't know that he's attacking people?

It took a year or more between Diamond and Golden Wind, so probably not until late this year or sometime next year.

have we ruled out the possibility that Head Doctor is a stand that also has its own stand?

He's the hospital's Stand, like Les Feuilles for Shakedown Road.

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.

Then I wonder if [Crazy Train] and [Wonder of You] are the stand names.

there hasn't been a hard and fast rule in terms of what parts both 7 and 8 draw from. i mean, gently caress, one of the primary plot elements of 2 is the pillar men and 8 heavily features rock people which are pretty much an alternate take on that sort of thing

that said, part of me is hoping that a theoretical part 9 either features a girl jojo again or it's something goofy like twin siblings due to gappy's quad nads (come on you know araki would do this even if it makes little sense. especially if it makes little sense) and one of them is a girl

Maybe we can get Acutally Gay Jojo this time instead of an editorially-mandated copout like Stone Ocean.

is there any actual source that lesbian annasui was supposed to be a thing and not just another thing araki changed his mind about

It's just a theory that it was SJ editors who made Araki change Anasui's gender, but the only reason I could really see where Araki would do it on his own would be that he thought it wouldn't get past editorial.

Yeah because the studio burned down, I’d be surprised if they ever recover.

Is it the same one that was attacked by an arsonist?

Because they've said they're starting (or have started) production on new shows (most notable Dragon Maid season 2).

Having fully caught up with this fight, I'd like to propose a hypothesis.

Quotes from 104:





And we can see that the spinning bubbles apparently creates invisible microbubbles that also spin, something Gappy can't see or even know about. Given that it already struck and wounded Wonder Of U, we know this works and that it follows the rules outlaid above -- that they exist, but not within this universe. Given that the various other final battles throughout the Jojo series have involved time/space in some way, I'm calling my shot: Gappy will defeat Wonder Of U by using the Spin's quantum mechanics and thus strike at Wonder Of U without actually striking at him / pursuing him. Some mixture of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(physics) and the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_exclusion_principle perhaps?

I'm also expecting some sort of parallel universe fuckery to come into play here, as we've already established (twice!) in previous parts (Made in Heaven, D4C) that parallel universes are not only fair game in Jojo but also actively employed, and that Wonder Of U makes an explicit mention of things that don't exist in this world not following this world's logic.

Even if I'm wrong, I think 104 gave us enough clues that, when the twist (spin) is revealed we'll go back and go "yeah we should've guessed":


That should enough to figure out the mystery, right?

I'm thinking more Quantum tunneling and just bypassing the aoe of the Calamity effects.
