There were slightly different subtitles for the issue releases compared to the tankoban releases for the first six parts.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 1: Johnathan Joestar: His Youth
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2: Joseph Joestar: His Proud Lineage
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Jotaro Kujo: Heritage for the Future
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4: Josuke Higashikata
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Giorno Giovanna: Golden Heritage
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Jolyne Cujoh: Stone Ocean

Steel Ball Run and Jojolion have always been those.

Josuke didn't get a subtitle. :(

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

Conversely, I think Diamond is Unbreakable is the best title of the new titles.

Was diamond is not crash a duwangism or was that the proper translation used by araki? I like to think that he went "This sounds dumb as hell, I'll just call it what the americans have been calling it for a while"

The official translation was Diamond is Not Crash until one of the All-Star Battle trailers started using Diamond is Unbreakable.

Why is it called "Stardust Crusaders", anyway? I mean "Crusaders" I get, but I'm not sure what Stardust has to do with anything unless it's a reference to Star Platinum. The next three parts mention the main characters' Stand in their titles, after all.

This question is easily answered through an understanding of one of the most basic rules of manga and anime. Most Engrish titles are chosen because they SOUND REALLY COOL to whoever came up with them.

Isn't that specifically the main theme of part VI? I seem to remember them talking about "my anime resolve" a hell of a lot.

Yeah, basically Giorno healed him shortly after/during death, thus keeping his soul in his dead body.

Yeah basically it could be any combination of Giorno punching the life back into him, King Crimson erasing the actual death point, and Bruno saying he dies when he wants to die.

Waffleman_ posted:

I actually re-read this bit because people keep talking about it, and it makes way more sense now.

The idea behind this epilogue is saying "hey, all of these people were hosed from the start". They were all 「Fated」 to die eventually or whatever (fate being like, one of the biggest running themes in this series) and the only reason Bruno got a bit more time was because of a bunch of stand fuckery/bruno having 「Resolve」 because he owns bones. It's a little weird as an epilogue (and loving stupid with the translation) but I dunno where else you would put "a dude gypsy cursed half of the cast to die sooner rather then later, final destination style" unless you did something silly like only tell the first part of the rolling stone chapters near the start and doing the rest later (and expecting people to remember that poo poo for three years).

Anyway, it all makes (comparatively) more sense then Okuyasu surviving having a giant hole in his torso because he talked to his ghost bro and realized he doesn't really feel like dying right now, especially when Josuke is specifically unable to bring people back to life (while with giorno it's just very strongly implied because you can't just stuff new organs into dead people)

darealkooky

You sayin' I like dubs?!?
now that I think about it, final destination is a pretty good metaphor, because bruno is like that dude in the first movie who manages to survive all sorts of hosed up stuff because he's just SO DETERMINED to not die and everyone thinks he managed to have his death get skipped over on deaths big list of "dudes what needs to die" or whatever bullshit that movie was about, but then he dies after/during the end credits out of nowhere anyway because it doesn't actually work that way and you can only delay that poo poo for a little bit, not prevent it.

This is also how I interpreted it. The King Crimson "It just works" thing is a more than acceptable alternative theory to me though.
