I started reading Shaman King today and I noticed that one of the ghosts in this panel looks a little like Abdul.



I guess Pucci reset the universe so hard that he turned JJBA into another manga entirely. :v:

I believe Hiroyuki Takei has stated that Jojo was a huge influence on Shaman King, so I'm not surprised. I have to get back to Shaman King too, thanks for reminding me.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is Hiroyuki Takei's favorite manga, so yeah.

Is there a gambling anatagonist in part 5? Off the top of my head there was the Pillarmen's month long bet against Joseph, the D'arby brothers, the rock, paper, scissors kid against Rohan, Miraschon and baseball, Ringo in SBR maybe, and Jobin with his beetles.

I'd say that the challenge to keep the flame lit counts if the pillar men bet does.

Also the one in SBR is totally Sugar Loaf Mountain.

It's only considered a Gambling antagonist if they say "GOOD" The D'Arby bros, RPS Kid and Miraschon all said this. Jobin has not said it yet but I bet he is going to.

Somehow I always forget about Black Sabbath when we talk about our favorite Stands, even though it has maybe the coolest design in the series and a pretty cool ability to boot.

Yeah, pretty sure he's talking about Yukako's, uh, courtship of Koichi.

In other Jojo-related news, I just came across this fascinating article. It's about how you can boost your confidence and well-being by using fabuous poses.

Oh right, the entire bit with koichi and yukako. I misread and thought he was saying it had several chapters of that part's JoJo getting a girlfriend.

The cast of part 5 is made up of kids with hosed up lives, the other protags at least had an easy start in life.

To be fair, Jolyne toughens up throughout part 6, in addition, the rest of the cast have either been in jail for a while or aren't really people.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
Their scrappy nature manages to keep one of the group in the game long enough to totally loving brutalize the main villain, ultimately turning the entire thing into a draw.

Jonny Joestar might have had a cushy upbringing and easy life before the death of his brother and paralysis, but he comes out way too well from SBR. His "cameo" in JJL is brutal.

The only things I remember about this fight are the dead dog, Joseph crashing a fourth plane, Kakyoin freaking out about the baby, Hierophant Green being in the dream, and Kakyoin feeding the baby his own poo poo.

That being said, I have no idea what you're talking about, but I assume it'll be creepy.

Edit: HOLY poo poo THAT EYEBALL SCENE :stonk:

Oh poo poo, I just learned a thing:

Alright, so remember how in Part 5 Giorno makes Diavolo experience death multiple times? I though some weird sensory poo poo was going on, but it actually makes a lot of sense. Gold Experience Requiem does the opposite of what King Crimson does. King Crimson eliminates the cause of an effect. Without the cause, the effect can't happen. Gold Experience Requiem, on the other hand, eliminates the effect from a cause. What this means is that Girono killed Diavolo, right? But he eliminates Diavolo's actual death, the effect from the cause of being killed. Because the effect is gone, the cause just never ends. Because Diavolo can never die now, he will forever just experience dying.

Or so I hear.

yup that's it, the arrow specifically gave him "the power to counter king crimson" because that's how it do

he does do the same sensory poo poo he did on bruno to gently caress up his ability to read the future tho

King Crimson is kind of the opposite of Moody Blues as well, isn't it? Moody Blues stops to review the past while King Crimson skips to the future.
