There's no way you can't convince me the title isn't a Jojo's reference.

I can be convinced, but it's cute that it's named Diego

For the first time in the series, there's the possibility that Dio may have nothing to do with this.

Dio's gonna show up in Jojolion in the disguise of an Indian man

I don't see anything about that. He mostly talks about the game and says something about parts 4 and 8 being set in the same town but in different universes. I haven't read it carefully because I'm not that fluent with Japanese, so maybe I missed the part where he says that, though.

I can confirm this. He mostly just talks about video games. There's nothing about the ending of Stone Ocean in there.

That might've been an error on their part because it's written in Katakana and Blueford is actually a legitimate spelling of the name. Tarkus is also spelled "Tarukus" which is what the kana also is flat out.

In a child's manga, adults are more often than not considered untrustworthy characters and facial hair is one of the many defining features of adults.

If I remember the translated interview correctly, Araki was aiming for a character who looked weird/eccentric/weak at first glance, but was actually strong, and he was hoping the readers would catch onto that.

Araki calls Zeppeli's moustache that of a snake oil salesman and that at the time, in a shonen magazine, the 'stache made the character seem much older and untrustworthy and introducing him so early was kind of a gamble. He also talks about the reasons above, how Zeppeli was inspired by the masters in Jackie Chan movies and Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid, these old masters who seemed a bit off, but were actually really skilled.

I immediately thought he was a suave bastard but hopefully I'm not as dumb as the average shonen demographic. He does look a lot... greasier in the manga.

A listing for Jojo season 1 has popped up on Amazon for a July release.

Normally, I'd take it with a grain of salt, but considering this is how we found out about Jojonium, I'm hopeful.

I almost feel that has to be subbed and that's totally fine, but if I can hear a bunch of people yell SPEEDWAGON! in English then that's even better. Would def buy that first season on DVD.

Also, it's kind corny, but it feels really cool to have JoJo volumes on my shelf. Highly recommend.

I'm pre-ordering for this thing I won't get for months on end nor do I know the details of it because it's got the JoJo name on it, rip.

If it's being put out for 50 bones with Warner's name on it, that poo poo is gonna have a dub.

EDIT: Also this is hitting stores a week before the last part of Phantom Blood does.

God I hope so. So little has come of SC's test dub that I don't want to be overly hyped, but I figured they're just playing it close to the chest.

Huh, so the dude on the back cover is Bruford. I honestly thought it was a Kars redraw even though it made no sense. Kinda hope Tarkus, Dire and Straits got redraws somewhere now. No chance of Doobie, I suppose.

Araki just called me to say that the second volume is still around 20 days away over here in the UK and then laughed and put the phone down.
So yeah, waiting for it is suffering, but I'm still hopeful beyond hope that the Vol.3 listing is somehow not an error for us.

I'm a little too poor to buy the Blu-ray if it comes out over here, but that might not actually stop me from buying it.
