Yeah, someone changed my avatar to this randomly.

I'm not sure if I like it more or less than the Stupid Newbie one I used to have.

I actually prefer the Stupid Newbie one myself. This one makes all my own posts read as vaguely sinister to me.

Maybe I'm just bad at reading mangas, but sometimes I just skim actions scenes I don't quite get. and wait for Speedwagon or those who fill his role later to explain to me what just happened.

It was always funny to me that FF just took over one of the other corpses and just left it at that, nobody seemed to care much that she killed a girl and took her place

So what if her stand ability 「White Stripes」 only gave her the ability to achieve the mythical 「One Wipe」, it doesn't mean Atroe deserved to die

Being an unrepentant sociopath is basically a requirement to be a stand user. Even in Part 4 all of Josuke's buddies and acquaintances tried to kill him or Koichi before befriending them.

I like how Koichi falls in love with that girl who literally was just shy of reenacting events from "Murder She Wrote" and "Misery".

I don't know why, but the idea of Iotaro (or whatever his name would be) being an aloof and distant dad who Irene is irritated with for not spending much time with her suddenly sending her jar full of plankton named G.G. (or whatever her name would be) from his last trip as a gift that she takes everywhere because it means so much to her is just the most :3: thing ever.

We would have heard about it by now if it was real and also big. It's probably fake, and if it's not fake I can't imagine it being anything more than an expansion for ASB 1.

It's not necessarily fake.
Play Asia is a legit website, March is a place holder date just before the next fiscal year.
I'd never say confirmed either, but it's possible that they've had notification that it's going to be announced, threw a place-holder page up for it and didn't make it inaccessible. A lack of info, or bad info, is common on these placeholders too.

TL;DR It means literally nothing either for or against the prospect of ASB2.

45 pages this month.

Jobin's stand name and power may be confirmed, and a winner of Beetle Tendency round 2 should be declared

Apologies for the double post, but this is actual relevant content to some people who may be interested.

Edit: Also, can someone please explain to me what Gold Experience Requiem even does? It....traps you in an infinite loop of deaths in alternate universe? Seems pretty brutal. Better than Silver Chariot Requiem's "walk around, putting people to sleep, and also mutating them but only for like 2 pages before that idea is immediately forgotten?"

It is a deus ex machina in punch ghost form basically. :angel:

To be more serious, it supposedly negates all abilities and attacks against Giorno - since Crimson King's ability involves reaching the desired result via erasing the intervening time, Gold Experience Requiem just turns that ability around such that Diavolo can never reach the actual death but instead gets stuck infinitely in the process of dying. And yes, it is indeed brutal.

GER notices that you're doing something that Giorno doesn't want you to do, then GER goes "nope, didn't happen", and it didn't.

This includes stuff like even thinking of attacking Giorno, which is why Diavolo stood and did nothing like a slack-jawed moron until he got punched to infinideath. So the really broken thing about GER isn't that it nullifies your attacks, it's that it nullifies them before you can even start thinking about attacking.

It's like when you're a kid and making up superheroes to fight your friends' made up superheroes with, and you guys keep making up powers to keep outdoing each others' powers.

GER is when the guy said, "my guy's power is to undo whatever your guy does before he even does it."

The easiest way to understand it is it's a stand with the power to gently caress with causality, so in the case of Diavolo, it kept the cause of death, him getting murdered, but not the effect of him dying, so the cause echoes forever without resolution. It's sort of a mirror opposite to King Crimson, which by deleting time, can be said to remove the cause, but keep the result, though the comparison is not a perfect 1:1 match.

I assume the terrible translation is a factor in GER and KC not making a lot of sense, so please look forward to the 2019 anime of Vento Aureo to clear everything up.

So Jobin's stand can control temperature? I guess his stand can transfer the heat of things which would continue the theme of stands that steal things. I couldn't figure out what the spoilers says for the name, google translate mucked up a lot of it.

I came here to laugh at you.
I loved that. All the best Stands leverage a weak power with pseudoscience to punch above their weight class. That's why Survivor is so dangerous despite being the weakest of all Stands.

Don't even get me started on all the awesome poo poo Spin can do.
