What all did silver chariot requiem do again?


Made people fall asleep, made them swap bodies, made their stands stronger, protected the arrow, made people become demons from another world?


The real disappointing part in part 5 is that Trish and Fugo didn't get more fights.

And that was a good ending because it combined two really good things (Giorno, Goku).

Something about the temperature of the water taking longer to freeze or something. He realized like a page later what a stupid idea it was when the guy has already shown he can freeze air.

edit: Actually I just realized this was well into the "make poo poo up" part of the scans, so who even knows

Josuke is sort of a typical shonen manga hero at a glance. He's goofy and fun, but gets serious if he has to. But because this is JoJo, it's amplified x10 and it never feels stale. Him coming right after Jotaro "Punch Man" Kujo really feels refreshing.

He didn't win, he got his pussy rear end frozen in a car while Mista hosed White Album up with Sex Pistols. Then Narancia caught Giorno doing some gay poo poo with Mista.

Maybe the time Jolyne got caught masturbating by another woman. Araki really wasted the opportunity to turn Part Six into Orange is the New Black, which is why I hold it in lesser regard than is probably reasonable.

I swear I thought it was Zepelli, right when they first meet Dio in that town. Either way it was great and Speedwagon is the best

Also, Speedwagon screaming when Joseph flies off in the plane to fight Cars is honestly kinda heartbreaking. He's yelling about how he has once again failed to protect a member of the Joestar family and has failed Jonathan.

drat Speedwagon....

I wrote it before, Diavolo's fate is pretty cool. But being stronger than absolutely anything the enemy could do because you happened to luck into the specific power that counters him perfectly? Super boring. The only comparable finale would be that of Part 7, and that ultimate counter to the big bad's ability was not only earned, it had tons of build-up, it wasn't the immediate end of the battle, and Johnny actually lost his next fight with it. Golden Experience Requiem is just such a weak resolution.

...I don't wanna talk about Part 5 anymore. :(

You will talk about part 5, dammit!

No, the comparison is part 3 where they were taking forever to figure out Dio's power, and they finally did, but still couldn't really beat him, and then it was all like "oh yeah Star Platinum could always stop time, he just didn't figure that poo poo out yet."

Part 5 was very similar to part 3 in progression, including the end and the unseen villain. At the very end, they started figuring out how King Crimson worked, and started kinnnnd of trying to work around it to the point where you figured they could beat it, then there was a weird interlude with some upgrades, but it still ended with, "oh, I just happen to have the power that can cancel this out."

Part 5 is basically a longer, more ridiculous part 3. It was basically Araki doing a do-over where he realized he wanted to go crazier with stands from the start.

It was. Jonathan, Zepelli and Speedwagon met Dio right before Tarkus and Bruford show up, Zepelli attacked Dio and got hosed up. This is the same scene as the "Do you remember how many breads you have eaten?" line.

I wouldn't hold my breath for a Jorge Joestar translation any time in the next ten years. The book is 765 pages long, compared to Over Heaven (309 pages) and Purple Haze Feedback (300 pages).

On top of Jorge being twice as long as both of those combined in page length, the actual density of the text is smaller, too.
Over Heaven
Purple Haze Feedback
Jorge Joestar

The entire novel is in illustration (sort of) online by Otaro Maijo (the author) on the publisher's website, though, if that's an acceptable substitute.

Are Japanese books longer than English ones or does Jorge Joestar really rival the Harry potter books in page length?
