I'm the quick and the deadly
I'm still surprised that Araki never named a stand after a Bowie song until SBR. I mean sure it's the best stand in SBR, but he coulda named some people the Bewlay brothers or something.

I wonder what the more info could be aside from more manga news?

David Lynch adapting Part 4 into a TV series, featuring Kyle MacLachlan as Jotaro, Peter Dinklage as Koichi and Danny DeVito as Shigechi.

Reading an English release of Battle Tendency is something I gave up on when Part 3 was a bust for Viz. Can't believe this poo poo might finally happen. Maybe it will shake off Araki's bad run in NA that started about 25 years ago when Baoh was released as a monthly comic and flopped. 3rd time's a charm and that.

This music video feels very very very Araki/Jojo-ish, so I wanted to share. (Crosspost from the animation thread.)

I would love for Araki to actually collaborate with some western music artists on a music video in the future - basically be a vignetted Jojo story in live-action.

Jojolion is published in Ultra Jump which comes out monthly on the 19th. Depending on when scans come in the translation is usually somewhere around the 20th to the 25th.

The laughs come in when you realize it's a horror manga except all the protagonists are equally as unhinged as the antagonists.

Also at Part 2.

I won't say that part one isn't really JoJo, but I don't think the entire thing gets JoJo as gently caress until Joseph tries to infiltrate a secret Nazi base in Battle Tendency. It's the point you realize you are dealing with a crazy person in the most awesome way possible. That that was actually a plan he thought might have worked.

My favorite part is that Joseph could have easily gotten in any other way he wanted to, those guys were never a threat, but he still went the tequila dress route.

Once you realize Joseph is literally Buff Bugs Bunny, unfortunate racism against the Japanese and all, everything becomes clear.

That actually DOES make everything become clear. Especially since Bugs had a number of girlfriends. :v:

Hitting him could have damaged the truck, or at least slowed it down a lot, and escaping was priority one, two, and three.

You'd think more of Dio's Stand users would target Joseph considering how much Dio is worried about the Joestars.
