It's still really good.  Also forgot that since it has Kira it has the best villain as well.

Great Hair is the best JoJo for me because he has a bit of everything. Johnny is the best as a realised character. All other JoJo's are great, but Jonathan is bland and I reserve judgement GioGio entirely because of bad translations.

Torquemadras posted:I still can't quite wrap my head around Soft & Wet. It's easy to explain, but so incredibly vague once you think about it. I’m sure S&W could just straight-up steal someone’s 「life」 if Josuke really wanted, but he hasn’t really had any situation where he WOULD want to, yet. He wants to find out who he is, and killing someone won’t help him answer those questions. He can probably steal someone’s 「ability to lie」 if he can get someone in a position where he can interrogate them, though. I’m guessing the only reason he hasn’t done that yet to the Higashikatas is because he wants to keep them as allies, and still doesn’t know how some of their stands work.

Josuke's a pretty cool JoJo. Not a lot of development with him, he just hangs out with his friends, makes $$$ and punches people who are jerks. His Stand is also super cool with a good color palette

Condiv posted:Reading through steel ball run, I ran into this page Maybe vampires aren't stands, but the masks are. It wouldn't make sense if they gave everyone the same stand, but maybe they're all part of a stand with the ability of giving others vampire powers. Could be one of those types that remain even after the user has died, like Anubis. Or maybe Araki just drew that without thinking too much about it.

Maybe the Stand Arrow was one of Kars' experiments that he threw out because it didn't give him immunity to sunlight? Either that or he got a really lovely stand.

Neo_Crimson posted:Maybe the Stand Arrow was one of Kars' experiments that he threw out because it didn't give him immunity to sunlight? IIRC, the arrows were made from a meteor that hit the earth. In the original timeline, Diavolo commissioned arrows to be made from the rock (I think Enya was hired to do that), and Dio managed to steal some before Diavolo could get them. Since that didn't happen in SBR, the meteor just sat in the U.S. and became the Devil's Hand. I think in-universe, they just assume the stone masks were like stands since almost no one could prove otherwise (Considering how many people in either timelines know about the Pillar Men).

I didn't like how in Steel Ball Run characters could get a stand either by being in the Devil's Hand or by having a part of the Corpse inside of them. And the fact that you can lose your stand if you lose the Corpse part. In Jojolion the way people gain stand abilities is completely different. I think it's a bit confusing.

Pre-Steel Ball Run characters could be born with a stand, or get one by getting pricked with an arrow, or get one because a vampire with your great grandfather's body got a stand, or because a stand user knocked a stand out of someone and then into someone else. There's no rhyme or reason to anything, people get punch ghosts because punch ghosts are cool and everything else is just a flimsy explanation Araki came up with to justify them.

Well the Devil’s Palm moves, it wouldn’t surprise me if it eventually settled where Morioh is and is giving people stands when they go underground. Although, it’s more likely that Jesus’ corpse is buried in the ground giving people stands. As for corpse parts giving stands and then removing them, why did Johnny keep Tusk when he lost his corpse parts?

Johnny had the Corpse's spine taken from him by Hot Pants after the battle with Sandman, but she deliberately left in one vertebra so he could keep Tusk. That vertebra was later taken by Valentine after the battle with Axl Ro. I don't remember why he get to keep his stand after that though.

He'd be ruthlessly murdered without it and he's not awesome like Gyro and can't live without it. Don't associate Johnny with Jesus though, Jesus preferred Valentine.

No, no. I can see where you're coming from with Hot Pants. She wasn't by Johnny and Gyro's side a lot, but she got a lot of page time and did a lot of important things.

Too bad she just sort of disappears after her fight with Valentine. We got to know the kid died of a loving cold, but not what happened to Hot Pants after the corpse was sealed up? Anyway, I'm reading Jojolion now. It feels really good the be back in Morioh. Man I missed this town.

I thought she observed Diego dying and that was the last we saw of her... Unless that was Lucy? I thought she was unconscious though. I might have made that up. edit: She dies when a window frame absorbs into her and pierces her heart. I assumed she was just incapacitated, since Jojo characters usually survive something like that.
