Even better is Johhny sincerely complementing it, and Josuke still gets mad.

Johnny Joestar is one of the extremely few regularly sarcastic characters in Japanese fiction.

Going back and reading all of his support for Gyro's antics is funnier when you realize that.

Not including Diego Brando and alternate universe Diego Brando are the game's two biggest flaws, really.

Alternate Universe Diego is in the conclusion of Part 7's story. He's voiced by Koyasu too, although I hope that doesn't end up being the case should they ever do a Part 7 anime.

Diego is the only character in SBR that's exactly the same as his namesake. Having him voiced by anyone else just wouldn't make sense.

AU Diego it makes sense for because he's basically Dio, Diego himself actually is a different character altogether and goes through character development to be something of a completely different character from Dio. So him having a different voice makes sense since that fits the difference in character and sets them apart from each other further.

That was one thing I was always confused about in the manga; whether the joke was he was being sarcastic, or he's genuine and really likes Gyro's stupid crap. I kinda assumed the latter, since sarcasm really isn't much of a thing in Japanese, but that does add a layer to it.

Even if his personality is different isn't he physically and genetically the same person? Shouldn't the voice be the same?

Isn't Johnathan "Johnny" Joestar basically the same character as Johnathan Joestar?

Diego may look like Dio, but he's not exactly Dio until Diego Brando From Another Universe.

It's an alternate universe where the Johnny has blonde hair, I can accept Diego having a different voice.

Does he have a move where he blocks an attack by covering himself with fangirls tho. It's the only thing I want out of this game.

Yeah I haven't really been feeling Jojolion, it 'a probably because it just started while I came into SBR halfway through, the pacing of SBR felt tighter and interesting stuff would be happening even in random stand fights. As nice as some of the fights have been there still hasn't been much in the way of answers and even what answers we do get just bring up more and more questions. If anything at least the stands have been fun for the most part and the art is still super good.

I think Yotsuyu's power is pretty hilarious but this arc definitely needs to end pronto. Weekly Jojo must have been the poo poo.

I have the feeling jojolion will be loving fantastic to read through all at once, but waiting for each chapter is just maddening. We did maybe get a few interesting bits of info from this chapter, though. Was it just me, or did Gappy's 「killer eyes」 only appear in the left-side of his eyes? We know Johnny turned to stone to protect his child, I'm wondering if Gappy is actually Johnny's petrified remains + Kira? Also, was that Holly Joestar in the flashback?

e: Also hoping for ASB 2 to see Gappy be able to trap others in his bubbles, along with whatever other crazy powers he develops.

Considering we're at chapter 31, and SBR ran around 90 chapters I think - we're about a third of the way through. For reference, around chapter 30 of Steel Ball Run is when Johnny first gets Tusk and we find out about Diegosaurus Rex.

This is like the first major antagonist Jojolion has right now, I'll be surprised if we're even 1/3 of the way through. I don't think Araki would bring us to Morioh a second time and only show us the coast, hospital, and one house. I really liked Shakedown St. and would like to see more stuff similar to that.

SBR was 95 chapters, however SBR chapters were incredibly long form compared to Jojolion, around twice the length of the average Jojolion chapter. Jojolion is pretty clearly just getting to around a fourth of the way through.
