 Kakyoin is now playing video games for the sake of everyone's souls. It's kind of jarring, but also the best. edit: Holy poo poo, it feels like I'm on /v/

I've been re-reading part 4 and realized fatty dies pretty quickly after being introduced. I wonder what the thought process behind that was.

I dunno, someone dying halfway-ish through a part is kinda part and parcel of JoJo. The thing that bothered me with part 4 is that Araki killed someone off he only just introduced rather than just about any other Morioh citizen, so Fatty's death fell kinda flat for me.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:I was more surprised by his killer, who I thought was just a goofy minor character up until that point. Isn't the first introduction to him immediately after Reimi or whatever her name was explains that she was murdered and then when we see him he's holding a severed hand like it's his girlfriend? It's kind of a stretch to see that stuff and think he's just "goofy"

Well, perhaps goofy was a poor choice of words. But the segment prior to him killing Shigechi didn't seem like it was going to shift into sudden and explosive murder.

I had to reread Kira's introduction and the buildup is really great. We don't even learn he has a Stand until he has no choice but to use it, which really fits his personality of keeping his appearance as average as possible. Also, this spread  made me realize just how much wasted potential Diamond had. I had completely forgotten about Okuyasu's weirdo dad, for example. Hopefully David will continue to add their little filler scenes, I could easily watch 50-60 episodes of Diamond. Also it's funny to read these chapters with hindsight bias. Hey, why didn't Josuke have Crazy D punch Kira's button so they could trace his jacket immediately? Why didn't Jotaro stop time in the store so he could read the name tag? Araki!  :iamafag:

Be glad Hazamada was made as few appearances as he did. It's flat out stated he wants to rape a classmate and hurts animals but everyone is just totally fine with him.

Why didn't Joseph use Hermit Purple to find Kira, especially considering that he came to Morioh for the purpose of finding Otoishi with Hermit Purple? Also  I think this may be the single most homoerotic JJBA image I have ever seen.

Well after he got beat up the dude was sort of just a non-threatening creep. I'm disappointed Yuuya only got the one fight and then later someone like Yukako got an entire mini arc where it felt like they were really laying her romance with Koichi on thick, which was loving boring.

I liked Yukako more when she was batshit insane. I mean, she probably still is, but it got toned down a lot less after the Cinderella arc.

Who doesn't, though? I had to read the Sheer Heart Attack fight in its entirety again. Jotaro owns, Koichi owns, Kira owns.

Isn't it all but confirmed that Rohan was Araki's self insert as well? I could have sworn I remembered reading that at some point and I can't really take anything for granted in JoJo's really.

I think Araki has written on his little cover jacket blurbs that people always assume Rohan is his self insert so they get a little nervous around Araki, when he just wants to be friendly!

He's not a direct insert, but there are some qualities that are obviously from Araki, such as his resemblance with Mona Lisa.

Ah, I felt like I had it slightly mixed up. Seeing Rohan later in the series, and in the spinoffs, made me think that it would have been a good self insert. It even feels like a stand that Araki would love to have.

Killing of Harvest serves the plot in a similar way to having Purple Haze leave the party. If Harvest is alive, there's not a coherent reason for them to not just send Harvest out to hunt down all the villains and find them in one day.

I'm sure everyone has made this joke, but I mean, Steel Ball Run is about one guy who touches another guy's steel balls, and then spends a long-rear end time alone with him on horseback.
