I'd be perfectly fine with them adding Totally Not Dio, who is Dio with a fake mustache and a slightly altered moveset.

Don't forget about Part 8 Dio, JojoLion synchs up with the 100 year timer lock disengaging in New York. Didnt Lucy stuff his body in there with the corpse? Itll be Jesus Dio

Would it be too much to ask for if I wanted Dire's head to be a stage obstacle in Dio's Castle, spitting roses at any vampire characters? Maybe it can be a stage specific win for Jonathan.

I would rather enjoy it if Jousuke's unidentified other half turns out to be Johnny. Or Jesus. Whichever works.

This is said pretty often, but these were seriously the best sound effects in the history of anything:
Panic!
!!2 Panic2!!2 Panic2!!2
Panic4

I like that the last one loses its exclamation points. Panic to the fourth power is intense enough as it is.


Josuke[?] has got to be my favorite protagonist since Joseph, if only for the line:
"Officers... I have to go pay for some pricey South American turtles or whatever, so with that... I've won."
[Walks away]
"Ah, one more thing... Allow me to make that very clear."
[Crazy Jojo Pose]
"The Winner... Is Me.
By a wide margin."

Holy poo poo that's actually loving possible. Even plausible. And I think I like it.
I thought I'd had enough of Dio, but the one thing that could really make me accept even more of him would be literal Jesus Dio.

Even better if he only had the head and murdered Johnny for his body (Johnny's head was crushed under a rock), making him the opposite of Part 3's Vampire/Jonathon Dio: Jesus/Johnny Dio.

The final battle of Jojolion is going to be Kira vs. Dio, and somehow both of them are half Jesus half Jojo (but different Jojos).


Holy poo poo, not only did I write that last line, I meant it. Jojolion is the best.

(I fully expect it to be even crazier than I'm thinking, and certainly more original, but the mere fact that the absurd mystery leads to thoughts like this is beautiful.)

I must be really out of it because I still have no idea what happened. Did Josuke plan that out or did the stand just do whatever it wanted or was there some sort of pattern it followed or what?

Josuke planned it out. That's why he... is the winner.

Man, the plot is really cooking now. I guess Rina's disease is her stand? Looks like some sort of stand. I guess Rina ends up getting the corpse and using her powers to kill Johnny. And then the Higashikatas end up with it, and that explains why they all have stands.

That's what I thought too, and it got me thinking: First Johnny's wife develops a stand that threatens her life, then Johnny dies and a tree near his grave mysteriously develops a stand. Now Joshuu and Yasuho both suddenly develop stands after hanging out with Josuke for a while. Could it be that Johnny and Josuke are both somehow unconsciously turning normal people around them into stand users, like some kind of walking stand arrows?

LordMune

I dunno, both Joushuu and Yasuho (and Daiya) developed their stands after falling ill as a result of being bitten by something at the Wall Eyes. Something is doing it, but I don't think it's Jousuke directly (as he has the same bite marks).

It seems likely that the current Stand plague will eventually be traced back to Johnny/Jesus, though...

Or it's an invisible Dio-Jesus ghost, buried but freed by the earthquake, biting everyone because he's a vampire again somehow.

Some weird poo poo is happening to the land in Japan and people are developing stands. Johnny took the corpse out, and then returned to Japan. It stands to reason that he brought the corpse back with him, and it is probably still in Japan. Rina was apparently cured by the time Johnny died, thus the obvious conclusion is that Johnny succeeded with the corpse.

So, exactly what happened to the corpse, then? There is a clear line from Johnny to the Higashikata family, so it is very possible that they either have it or are seeking it.

"I think he's a bad enough person to stay ghost through his sheer love of child-killing."

Having the corpse buried in the town is a reasonable explanation for all the unusual qualities that the ground the town is built on possesses - burying things makes them merge and switch parts with each other, the wall eyes, something biting people and giving them stands. I don't think that the other half of Josuke could be Johnny's corpse because Soft and Wet has qualities of Kira's stand, and if the other half was Johnny's body then it'd be a fusion of Killer Queen and Tusk when its apparently the fusion of Killer Queen's bubbles and a stand that could 'plunder' things. Its possible that Josuke's part Jesus and part Kira but I doubt it somehow, you'd think there would be some more obvious signs if he had Jesus powers. That said, there's been no sign that anyone intentionally meant to 'create' Josuke by burying Kira and another corpse together, so maybe Jesus' body did just see and opportunity to get back into the world of the living and just stole bits of Kira's corpse to come back to life.

I'm really digging this whole mystery so far. I just read the end of SBR again and I couldn't find a mention that they hid Dio's corpse in the vault with the holy corpse, is that just the scan I was reading being bad or is the whole dio thing just speculation?

Yeah but the tree near Johnny's dead body steals thing and this all may have happened because Johnny stole the corpse. Maybe Johnny's stand changed after he did that?

I think its just, what else would Lucy have done? She just exploded a major celebrity's head with his alternate universe's head. Or, well, soon to be celebrity, since he won the SBR. A 100 year vault is a nice place to hide that kind of evidence.

Stephen Steel shows up after she's killed Diego though, and before they seal the vault. I think a millionaire businessman could find somewhere to hide a body that isn't the vault with a magical corpse inside.

I don't think it's going to be Dio because his head blew up and heads are pretty important. As such Jesus' head is going to steal Dio's body and be the dominant personality, and it will be revealed he was an evil vampire all along and the magic corpse and all the bible stuff was Araki vampire glamour. Also he is going to be this universe's Giorno and have Gold Experience.

Also, the new JoJolion is just more evidence I really need to read SBR. I've read all of Part 1-6, but only the first quarter or so of SBR before my schedule changed and I wasn't able to read as much manga. Haven't gone back to it yet, but it's definitely time to.

I've finally completed the volumes of JJBA released over here in the west. It's a really good translation that even with some of its goofy name changes is still worth spending money on. Also for anyone wondering, they did call Vanilla Ice by his name, so I'm pretty sure if they can get away with it there they can do it in anything.

Also I forgot to mention it but the Kira Family House from Part 4 was revealed as a stage with Atom Heart Father as a stage hazard.

New Stage, Kira Estate!!

From Part 4, this new stage is Yoshikage Kira’s home! Kira’s father, Yoshihiro and his stand “Atom Heart Father”, are confined within!?

Photo to the right
If a photo gets activated, Yoshihiro floats down from above, then attacks with a kitchen knife!!

And it seems there's a new stage here as well, it looks like the train of Beach Boy/Grateful Dead.

This and Narancia are the best reveals. Now just give me Prosciutto complete with old man versions of each character and I'm set (No I'm not). I can almost guarantee though that King Crimson isn't going to function like he does in the manga, much like how it worked in Part 5.

"I think he's a bad enough person to stay ghost through his sheer love of child-killing."

The only thing close to doing King Crimson that I can think of is that you could gently caress with frames somehow, like when you use it you can just skip the other player's animations and cancel the attack, so they're just left standing where the move would've put them but without ever having hit you.

It wouldn't be that hard to do King Crimson right if they wanted to. All it would have to do is force the opponent into a tandem super for some length of time. Problem being that he then gets guaranteed damage, basically.
