ASB League started this morning. Which is a tournament of AI matches that will also feature characters that haven't been announced yet.

Buccellatti Vs. Josuke and Jonathan Vs. Dio

The music sounds so much like the music from the Naruto games it's not even funny. Chiyako Fukuda is a good composer though, I just hope more tracks in the game have a more... well, diverse style. I liked the unique dialogue between Jonathan and Dio a lot. The gameplay looks okay, so I've got some hopes, but I don't really see it being anything spectacular.

Also, is there any place I can buy the limited edition that isn't sold out? I can't believe this thing is still selling out and we're two months away from the game's release, I WANT MY JOTARO FIGURE DAMMIT.

I think Johnny used Tusk to somehow direct to corpse's power onto him to ensure there wasn't anymore monkey paw business with who received the disease. Then he did something to crush his own head with the rock to seal the deal and prevent somebody like his wife or Lucy from trying to use the corpse to save him, although they seem to be implying that Lucy is smart enough to not abuse to power of the corpse.

As for where the corpse is now, it's either still in Morioh and Lucy took a fake corpse back unknowingly or if it really is back in America, then possibly Soft and Wet was used to steal something away from the corpse. I'm pretty convinced that Soft and Wet can steal a lot more than Gappy realizes and his amnesia is preventing him from knowing the true extent of it's powers.

My prediction for the guy in the tree is it's Joushuu's father's stand.

Considering the popularity of Jojo in Japan and the stuff you get with it, I would not be surprised if it was one of the fastest selling collectors editions in Japan.

It is a molestation scene, it looked dirty and unconfortable

Maybe it's because I just reread that portion of steel ball run, but it reminded me of the Lucy Steel/President groping part and felt overused.

Looks to me like the leaves' "instant transmission" might be a remnant of the corpse's power. Johnny put George on top of the corpse and "shot" at both of them- causing the corpse to reflect both the Tusk-shot and disease back at Johnny. And then it put a rock on his head for good measure?? The corpse is more or less an autonomous stand in and of itself, it spawning other stands like the ginkgo leaves doesn't seem too far-fetched.

The devious DARKBRINGER plans to dominate first Lightbringer, and then the entire Midwest!
Interesting how the corpse is specified to be able to "remove" things, and now every higashitaka stand power we've been introduced to has had a removal component. Gappy's all purpose removal bubbles, Daiya's memory removal, Joshuu's body part removal...

Also, after seeing after this chapter, part of me is trying to draw a connection to the mobile holes Tusk fires and the Wall Eyes.

Apparently they are just announcers. Reading the character list I see a bunch of cool villains missing (I don't think any from part 7). At the very least I want Funny valentines and Pucci. Maybe 'dinosaur solider' Dio while they're at it.

Edit: I hope Diego, Sandman, Pucci, F.F., Valentine, Blackmore, Mountain Tim, Old Joseph and Abbachio make it in. Though it seems from what some people are saying, they're done adding playable Part 5 characters and that Cioccolata is a stage hazard.

Why do they do this? Not to start another name debate, but..."Terence" is an actual name, for crying out loud.

Also Babyface could be a cool stage hazard if that's what they're planning.

As much as I like Nobuyuki Hiyama in anything and everything, they'd almost certainly get Koyasu Takehito to voice him for parallels to part 1 and such, provided we see Diego in this game/the sequel or a Part 7 anime in any reasonable amount of time.

But see, I think that Diego is a different enough character to justify a different voice. That's just me, though.

E: I mean, Johnny and Jonathan don't share the same voice, and they're a parallel.

Ah, see I didn't consider the fact that the Jonathan and Johnny parallel was already accounted for in the game. In that case I'm thoroughly on board the Nobuyuki-Diego Dinosaur Train.

I was looking over some rumored character lists since Pucci and Dio were announced, and while most of them have way too many Part 5 characters for me to (want to) believe them, I do hope F.F. and especially Lisa Lisa make it in. While F.F. has a good chance of making it in being a main character in Stone Ocean, it's more possible that Lisa Lisa may be left out and that would be a real shame considering how cool she was and how few female characters they have to choose from.

Seconding the call for F.F. and Lisa Lisa but I also hope Trish and Spice Girl make it in. Still annoys how little they got to do during part 5.

I got tired of waiting and read Part 4 in glorious Duwang anyway. Hilariously, they realize their mistake midway through and revert to Morioh.

Well worth it for me. Absolutely blown away by everything, really. It sticks out as the least impressive arc on paper (as it's set in a town and the main characters are "normal" high schoolers) but the way everything fit was perfect.

And once the proper translations finish, I'll read it again!
