I love that the 15 second preview at the end of the episode only mentions the conclusion of the D'Arby fight and doesn't show anything beyond that, for maximum ownage to the anime only audience

It's similar to the Hol Horse/J. Geil preview in that regard with the preview looking all happy and silly, and then Avdol gets his brains blown out (but not really).

Honestly, I'd never interpreted Dan D'Arby trying to steal Terry D'Arby's girlfriend as creepy, but a 25 or so year old man hitting on a 15 year old's girlfriend is loving weird as hell.

Here is something I made for the anime thread to commemorate Avdol dying next week (presumably, I'll have to change the episode of death if not). I guess I might make one for the other dudes who die, but Avdol is kind of the forgotten man so I thought it would be cool to bask in his coolest moments a little.

Warning, big resolution when clicked.

Possibly, but the most likely answer is just that Namco-Bandai and Crunchyroll didn't bother to check and just assumed they should change it.

The Miasma of the Void sounds pretty awesome, Cool Ice, not as much.

FYI, "The Miasma of Void" is more accurate to the Japanese text, and sounds cooler too. "Spirit of Emptiness" is just a lingering mistranslation that someone probably pulled out of their own rear end.

"Miasma" is kind of a weird choice of word. It makes him sound like he has poison powers or something.

Yeah, Spirit of Emptiness fits better with the whole all-consuming void thing.

In the VIZ edition it's referred to as the Dark Void of Vanilla Ice, which is also a better word choice than miasma.

I feel like Polnareff should be in the scene, but that might be because of the Frenchy-French accordion thing it has going on.

It sounded more Italian to me, which made me think of Caesar, then Joseph soon after. It might get played during Joseph's "ascension" to really mess with the unspoiled viewers' heads.

瘴気 (shouki), the word they use in the chapter titles, literally means "polluted air that causes disease," although it can also mean "a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere/mood" if you want to get figurative about it. The latter may have been what Viz was going for with their translation.

Anyway, if it's not thematically fitting with Vanilla Ice, that's a problem for Araki and/or his editor.

Well I suppose there's also the point about Vanilla Ice literally and figuratively being infected by Dio's evil. I'll admit this may be a case of just being attached to the iteration I heard first ("The Interfering Speedwagon" vs. "Speedwagon, the Meddler"), but certain Crunchyroll translation choices make me place them on the "Literal" end of the localization scale.

Miasma was used in the French translation of the manga as well.

I think it fits, considering miasma basically refers to an "air of sickness, bad air", Vanilla Ice is invisible like air and is pretty bad for your health. Like a mysterious disease that will make you disappear. Also he travels through the air.

It pretty much begs to be played during his final moments talking about how good of a time he had on the adventure, and saying bye to his parents. Poor Kakyoin :smith:

Just a quick reminder that according to Amazon (UK) both Vol 2 and 3 of the hardcover Phantom Blood release comes out on the 21st of May. Those two finish up Phantom Blood so support some more JoJo and buy 'em if you don't have the digital version (and even if you do).

e: I've looked at Amazon USA and it says Tuesday (5th May) for the Volume 2 hardcover and August 4 for Vol 3, so who knows what's actually happening.

Don't think anyone pointed this out yet, but D'Arby totally has Dio's colors in this shot. And a big cheesy heart, just like his master.


David Production knows their audience well.

Edit: I want Joseph Joestar to narrate fighting game tournaments.

I'm just imagining the meeting where DIO made the mansion staff adopt his heart motif. Hell, he might've approached everyone but only Vanilla Ice, Petshop, and D'Arby would do it.

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

Apparently viz are going balls deep with the JoJo license, since at the Free Comic Book Day event I went to today there was, in with the rest of the promo comics, a stack of single-issue Phantom Blood comics with a part of the Zeppeli vs. Dio fight in.
