Except Straits was filled with holes and gibbed by a tommy gun and some grenades. If Joseph had just separated the pieces a bit he probably wouldn't have been able to re-assemble.

Straits was just loving weird, possibly the weakest part of Battle Tendency I'd say. So this guy just cracked after fifty years of living a decent life and became a vampire so he could be pretty, and then he went after Joseph to try and destroy the Ripple (I guess he killed all his own students or something?) except then he'd have to go fight Lisa Lisa and Caesar while being literally the exact thing their kung fu is best at destroying?

Clearly Araki was still in full poo poo-making-up mode at the time.

I'd like a better translation too, but I wouldn't hold onto hope that the ending's going to make sense.

I'm not sure any amount of good translation is going to make anything from silver chariot requiem on make sense.


Like, what, bruno was a walking corpse so he mistook doppio for trish based on the spiritual energy, then doppio became diavolo and tried to attack polnareff but polly used the arrow on his stand and everyone fell asleep and switched bodies, but polly switched with coco jumbo so he was a turtle for a bit while the turtle would be in polnareff's body, but polnareff's body died so silver chariot requiem went nuts and took the arrow and ran off, so they tried getting the arrow from silver chariot requiem but at some point realized that what they were looking at was a shadow and that silver chariot requiem was actually a ball of light behind their heads orsomething, just in time too because the non-stand users who switched bodies had started becoming demons or something from another universe, and then with chariot requiem beaten everyone's bodies switched back except bruno who was dead, narancia who was dead, doppio who was dead, tho coco jumbo got his soul back so polnareff chilled out in the personal hell of a small room without a toilet for I guess eternity. Then some poo poo happened and giorno punched diavolo with gold experience requiem and made it so diavolo would experience dying forever but never reach death itself. Then after all that was over we got the rolling stone chapter which was a weird way to end part 5.



Yeah I'm not sure a good translation would help with any of that

So after getting hype and re-watching the current backlog of the anime, I've taken the plunge and am forging ahead with the mangas.

3 chapters into Diamond is UnbreakableNot Crash and I'm already a fan of Josuke, he's such a glorious dork. A worthy heir to the Joestar line.

(I will have to go back and read the Duwang versions at some point, just for completion's sake.)

Jonathan barely even belongs on the list, honestly. The family must have gotten its personality genes from Lisa Lisa or something.

The family got its personality from Joseph because Lisa Lisa isn't that much in the way of personality either, she's pretty standard Master Miyagi fare.

Giorno is a mafia kid who can't shut up about his gangstar dreams or being a good fellow.

If Jonathan doesn't find himself an oriental in the next five seconds he's going to kick you in the balls hard enough to land you in the hospital.

Also he sunk a boat with pure bullshit.

Jonathan > Giorno

Counterpoint: DIO was the most fabulous of them all, and they got their stand powers from him, so why not other traits as well?

(As for young Joseph... uh, it was retroactive because of The World's time poo poo.)

Joseph Joestar crashed a plane as a child and forgot he was supposed to be dull and stoic.

Alternatively, Speedwagon was his grandpa all along.
