Part 4 is also Araki's favorite part, apparently. I'd be really surprised if it didn't get an adaption simply on that basis.

The numbers are interesting, if a bit depressing, but goddamn that fan hearsay is poo poo. People seem to love perpetuating weird rumors that make Japan seem weird or hosed up.

Oh, while we're at it Steel Ball Run should use Carry on Wayward Son. Imagine it starting just after Gyro dies.

I'mm really surprised we don't already have a stand called "Wayward Son". It seems like a perfect name.

Wayward Son would be stellar for the latter half of SBR, but the first half needs America's Horse with No Name.

It's not animation, but the real stories!
Y'all need to stop making poo poo up.

Also part 3 is selling OK considering its popularity. Averaging 8-9k per volume. It's less than parts 1-2 which sold around the 16k mark for vol.1 and dropped off a bit after a while. But the volumes are sold at a higher price point.

Also, keep in mind the Part 3 anime wasn't announced until a few months after season 1 ended, so Part 4's existence isn't really going to be an issue for a while.

unless Araki's going to fund the part 4 anime himself (he won't because that's a stupid amount of money he'd have to spend) that doesn't matter worth a hill of wet poo poo. the problem's not getting Araki to sign off on the part four adaptation, it's getting enough money to pay the studio.

fwiw i think part 4's going to happen because the sales figures have been pretty solid so far and I'm sure the dio's mansion discs are going to have a pretty big sales spike because DIO. it just probably won't have the stupidly high budget that SC had, probably something closer to battle tendency

The arrow did not deem Giorno worthy yet, which is why it didn't evolve into Gold Experience Requiem.

So Jotaro had a kid but never talked about her once.

It's this. There's a lot of talk in Parts 4 and 5 about being chosen by the arrow, so basically Giorno wasn't deemed worthy until he went through all his character development. Granted, I'm using "character development" kind of loosely here since it's Giorno we're talking about. I blame the translation.

On the other hand, Jotaro comes from a wealthy family so he probably didn't have to worry too much about raising her.

It's also got the shoot-out with Tattoo You, which is one of the greatest fights in that arc... hell, the entire series. Just an incredibly one-sided, super-brutal showdown with bullets flying everywhere. It's the classic Western gunfight, only there's dudes who rotate bullets so perfectly they create wormholes their arms can travel through. And a bitter-sweet ending.

...man, Part 7 kinda blindsided me with the sudden inclusion of guns. We got some REALLY good fights out of it, even.
