Like I said before, I'm pretty damned sure Okuyasu was just too stupid to die. Dude only ever followed what his brother did and when it came time to die he didn't know what the hell to do so he just kinda stumbled back into being alive cause he's kinda dumb at this whole "dying" thing.


It's kinda like how Bruno was too rad to die but instead of rad he was just too dumb.

I didn't think I'd like him as much as I did when he was first introduced but by the end I think I liked him more than Josuke, which is saying a lot.

Well, there's technically not "alternate" versions for each character but the Higashikatas' maid goes by the last name Nijimura.

In a comic that's mostly about people finding clever and creative ways to use their weird and useless-sounding stands, Okuyasu stands out for being too much of a dumbass to effectively use his crazy overpowered one.

Hey, he had a pretty decent fight against Red Hot Chili Peppers. Before accidentally recharging him, anyway.

It is rather amusing that we get a character who essentially has Vanilla Ice's Stand, though, and he barely makes use of it.

It's so overpowered that Okuyasu would have had a chance to kill Ultimate Kars for good, had he ever floated his way back to Earth. Okuyasu would have been more likely to win the lottery 10 times over, but at least it would have been an actual chance.

I know people were grumbling about the lack of fabulousness after Battle Tendency, so it's nice to see this season getting super gay sometimes. Insofar as non-consensual muscleman watersports can be described as 'nice'.

Sometimes I forget about Bast and then I wonder how I'm a JoJo fan.

Also, I've started going down the slippery slope of JoJo figures and I don't think I'm gonna get out okay. It started with getting Crazy Diamond. Then I realized....I could have figures all of my favorite characters and Stands...

Word of advice, don't start buying JoJo figures unless you can toss money around like it's nothing, you have an iron will, or you somehow only have one favorite character/Stand.

You know how people have *that one stand fight* in part 3 that they just can't wait to see animated and have been waiting for it since Stardust Crusaders started airing? Bast is that one stand fight I've been waiting for. God, it's going to be glorious. :allears:

Bast is gonna be great, but the first D'Arby is the one I'm waiting for. It was good even in the old OVA but I await it nonetheless. They could just reanimate that one fight every few years and I'd be happy.

Merchandise is actually a pretty big source of income for an established manga artist. Buying official figures is one way to support Araki directly.

Some of the JoJo merchandise is crazy. Like I'm pretty sure there are Sticky Fingers pencil cases. There's those JoJo's converse that like really slick that I'd love to own. There's a Kira figure where one of the little add-ons is him holding a "sandwich" bag and that's wonderful.

I know for a fact there's a tie you can buy that's a replica of Kira's tie and has the Killer Queen skulls on it and it's basically the sickest thing ever. It's like $100+ and I want it so bad despite knowing it will clash with every piece of formal wear I own.

But it's just fun to collect cool figures of things you like. And since JoJo stuff already has sick designs, it's even better. I really want a Soft & Wet figure because I love it's design but I'm not even at Part 8 yet.
