Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?

Between those things and the PB/BT US release, I really hope DavidPro has enough funds to produce Part 4

really, my biggest fear with this whole franchise is diminishing returns leading to the rest of the parts not getting animated. Jojo feels like such a niche to me at times :smith:

I think part 4 is a pretty safe bet--from what I can tell Stardust Crusaders has been doing really well, to the point that it'd be weird for them to just pack it up here when there's more Jojos to sell. 4 isn't the guaranteed goldmine that 3 is, so I wouldn't be as sure about, say, part 5, but I think we get 4, easily.

Really, what I want is a ludicrous-budget Steel Ball Run, but I have a feeling I'm just going to have to wait on that particular pipe dream.

4 is apparently Araki's favorite part, so I''d be surprised if it didn't get animated.

5 is also very popular in Japan from what I've heard, so hopefully we'll get that as well.

6 and 7 weren't as popular, but I really hope we still get part 7 animated. It's probably the best part on a technical level.

I know this gets talked about all the time, but DavidPro are a bunch of fanboys, Araki loves part 4 and Japan loves part 5, so it feels inevitable that we'll get at least that. The question is not if, but what will the budget be. We might get more PB/BT level animation for part 4, but I'd bet money we'll get it one way or another.

Part VI should be animated, because it's probably the most bizarre.

And that's saying something.

What's with the name Nukesaku in English? Wouldn't make more sense to just call him "The Idiot", since the whole joke is that they guess his name by calling him an idiot.

Josuke Higashikata
Mar 7, 2013


It's just his name and they call him idiot as an insult, the joke at least in the translations is that every one else calls him idiot as a nickname too.

Someone on /a/ captured DIO. Not tagged so you can view at your own discretion.

No way. They'd have to cover

* DIO moving Polnareff down the stairs.
* The unveiling of The World.
* Jotaro and Co. finding out Avdol died.
* Nukesaku dying.
* The party leaving the mansion.
* Deciding to split up.
* Senator Wilson Phillips.
* Jotaro talking with Polnareff.
* The car chase.
* Hierophant Green vs. The World
* Senator Wilson Phillips' death.
* The retreat to the building top.
* Kakyoin's history.
* The Emerald Splash.
* Kakyoin's death.


It's more likely that'll be in DIO's World - Part II.

That still feels two weeks away to me. Next week will probably be the silly scene where Polnareff can't climb the stairs, then the one where the dorky vampire ends up in the coffin, then everyone getting the gently caress out before the sun sets, Polnareff calling everyone pussies and running hobbling off, and then the beginning of DIO's Nocturnal Adventures.

It's gonna at least get to the chase sequence, probably end with Joseph and Kakyoin escaping to the rooftops

That seems about right, either ending with them escaping or beginning with it next episode.

she's also named after a mountain like the others so i'd say it's probably guaranteed at this point. that and the fact she has a stand makes it more plausible

Is Sakunami a mountain? I thought all the mountains had yama as the prefix and that Sakunami just refers to a hotspring.

i'm mostly going off of what others have said but there's a chance that they might just be named after landmarks in general

I thought Joshuu was the new Yukako, but there's nothing that says Araki can't give multiple aspects of one character to multiple different characters.

Johnny met two different Erinas: Lucy Pendleton and Rina Higashikata. And people say that Mountain Tim and Stephen Steel were both Speedwagons. You could argue that part 8's Yoshikage Kira and Nijimura are both also Jotaros.

edit: Just read the newest chapter. It's so great seeing Josuke again after, like, five months.

Also part 8 Kars will be my next wife.

That's not how the Triangle Attack works...
If Sakunami is Kars, it would be pretty funny if Jo2uke ended up being the fusion of Kira and the Santana-analogue, given that both Yagiyama and her recognize him.

i'm like 100% sure that they're both meant to give off that feel, if nothing else because they take the place of where jotaro was in the family tree. each of them kinda have a similar 'presence' in their own way.
