He was supposed to be a woman but Araki's editors got mad at him so he compromised by making him a crossdresser.
I feel like this is one of the biggest rumors about JoJo and I'm almost positive there's no evidence for it, so y'all should probably stop spreading it.

I don't even think there's a source for it, for all we know Araki just decided to make him a guy after his first appearance where he did and said nothing. Anasui has a dumb hat, but a cool Stand (that also get it's ability completely changed), that's my Anasui opinion.

Yeah I don't think I ever entirely understood Annasui's power.

Maybe if there was a Futurama episode I could compare it to.

Annasui has the power to get murdered so that he can get married. It's a very logical Stand.

At first it had the power to plant kinetic energy I think? I remember Diver Down kicking a door, and then later a kick comes out of the door and nails a guard in the teeth. Then later it's just that it can dive into things and mess with their inners.

Annasui was a woman until copyright holders made Araki changed her gender, also it's Araki's true personality

Jojo is one of those things I like so much I promised myself I'd someday own all of it, even if I had to import volumes from Japan.

Nice knowing the prospect of having everything in English is no longer some far-off dream.

We were always confirmed a translated Part 2, why is anyone acting like this is a surprise?

Pretty happy to see it finally has a set date though. Should've had it sooner, but at least this one isn't going to be release under our noses.

Yeah I posted that because I was really happy the iTunes version finally had a date. I haven't heard a thing about the release of this volume and only found it because I was checking to see if it was being released under the radar, so chances are this isn't getting any kind of promotion whatsoever.

I forgot that Josuke turned Terunosuke into a book that was still alive.

I'm not sure whether that's hosed up in all of the right ways or all of the wrong ways.

Hey, out of them all, his stand is the most compassionate. Turning people into hosed up immobile monstrosities for life is very noble

David absolutely nailed the "finally, we're at DIO's" bit. Equal parts dread and relief they finally got there, and they set up the deaths really well too. People are going to be so crushed when Avdol, Iggy and Kakyoin die if they don't already know, and hell, even if they do.

I wasn't really hyped for the second D'arby fight (aside from the Yes Yes Yes punching bit that was already technically done in the ASB commercials during the first series), probably because I have no soul.

But somehow David recaptured my interest. :allears:

Moltrey posted:

Up till now, Part 3 has trivialized any character injury. Avdol was fine all along, Kakyoin's eyes heal. All in service if showing how serious these last couple fights are have these stakes mean something.. I'm excited for people to realize why Last Train Home was chosen as the ED

This is why I'm looking forward to Vanilla Ice more than D'arby.

Watch out!

Here comes the third tactic.

Watch in shock and awe as Kakyoin gets owned at video games.

Looking back, that's kind of a weird fight to put in-between Pet Shop and Kenny G Vanilla Ice.

Wonder if it's going to be a three or a two parter. Three parter seems likely considering they've barely touched his story.

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

I'm hoping D'arby the gamer and vanilla ice are two parters, and DIO is a 4 parter. These next two fights are unbelievable, but neither should be equal in length to the splendor that is DIO

It probably would've been more appropriate to switch D'arby the Gamer's position in the story with D'arby the Gambler.

There are going to be 48 episodes. That means there are 9 episodes left. My guess? DIO is 5. D'arby The Gamer is gonna be 2 episodes. so I guess Vanilla Ice will also be that many.

There is no way D'Arby the Gamer should get stretched out to three episodes, 2 is plenty. Vanilla Ice'll probably be 2 as well, then we're left with Suzie Q visiting Holly, DIO's World and Goodbye, My Friends. 1 episode for Suzie Q, 3 for DIO and 1 for goodbye? Or maybe DIO should get 3 and a half while we get half an episode for Goodbye?

I really hope an episode ends right after Vanilla Ice kills Avdol. Like, smash cut to credits once we see his hands go flying.

Goodbye and Suzie Q are going to come out to less than one episode total since they were one chapter apiece. DIO is gonna be like 4.5 episodes.
