Like.. at this point im tempted to import a physical copy and scan it myself. I suppose the hard part would be translation though, as ive heard the part 5 translation is awful.

There actually exist good scans of Part 5, I used to have them like four years or so ago, but my old comp I had them on died. It's actually how I figured out the translation was bad was through those scans. I don't know if they still exist or not, but I wouldn't count on it.

In the anime, I'm actually secretly hoping that the orphan girl winds up becoming a stand user and the plot diverges suddenly from the core series.

It's kind of weird how the young characters in Parts I - III for the most part (aside from that one time Poco opened a door) don't really do anything. Then in parts IV and VI, they become instrumental to defeating the main villain.

The main issue with the Part 5 retranslation is that the person in charge has terrible carpal tunnel now and can only work for a couple hours at a time.

Considering that Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency were directly adapted, I can't imagine Stardust Crusaders will have any major changes.

I guess I was wrong, I thought most of them were ambiguously left for dead with pretty bad injuries, but it does actually say that some of them were hospitalized. I wonder if Shonen Jump made him cut down on the deaths in the manga.

The moment Jotaro was born he became a racist grandpa, as is the fate of all grandpas. Not that it's too surprising for a man who chummed it up with a Nazi war criminal anyway.

I feel like a lot of those "left alive" might not have lasted long. Bleeding heavily and unconscious or strapped to a rock in the desert probably isn't a great way to live. Who am I kidding, it's Jojo, those guys all made it to civilization, swore revenge, then got sidetracked and started fighting dogs or randomly mutilating innocents or doing small town murder hijinks

Who decided to do that to him anyway, Joseph? I can't remember whose idea it was to tie him up like that but I'm hoping it was Joseph since he already had that idea with Donovan.

ZZ achieved illumination thanks to his sacred training techniques and lived out the rest of his days as a great guru.

They did take his passport so he could not follow them so I guess they figured he would escape.LvK posted:I feel like a lot of those "left alive" might not have lasted long. Bleeding heavily and unconscious or strapped to a rock in the desert probably isn't a great way to live. Most of them were sent to hospital and those that were left alive outside of a Town tended to get off with lighter injuries. Cameo was lightly burnt for example and Midler just lost her Teeth.

Neo_Crimson posted:I unironically want to read this now, since this sounds like the funniest poo poo ever. I liked Purple Haze Feedback; it has some good fights involving some suitably bizarre new Stands, and I got a better sense of the personalities of the Venteo Aureo characters than I did from the existing translations of Venteo Aureo. There's also a sense that the author really knows things about Italy (as opposed to Araki himself, who sometimes seems to idealize it). The "drugs are bad, mmmkay" thing was a bit overdone, and Giorno (though a relatively minor character in the novel) comes across as slightly Mary Sueish, but I still definitely recommend it. The other translated side novel is Over Heaven, which is Dio's diary. It's a character piece rather than a fighting-oriented story. It does a pretty good job of making sense of Dio's somewhat inconsistent canon characterization, but a lot of it is essentially rehashing the events of Phantom Blood and Stardust Crusaders. I wouldn't call it bad, but people who like the manga won't necessarily like it.

Doesn't Over Heaven try to characterize Dio as more of a tragic figure who, among other weird things, actually liked his dad?
