unless you take a hella long time getting through part 4 prepare to be disappointed because about 3/4th's of part 5 have a garbage translation and in particular the stuff surrounding diavolo is really hosed up if you can read itallian or japanese try that instead but otherwise curb your enthusiasm

You'll probably not take too long with Part 4 because it's just amazing and hard to put down.

I started with the manga right after the Vanilla Ice fight was over (starting from about the middle of it), and it's so worth it. Part 4 is so good, even if I'm not much into it, the characters are very fun.

Part 4 is the best because Araki decides to bring out the "HOLY poo poo THEY'RE FLYING" serious business out again for rock paper scissors. Part 4 is the best because Josuke punches some spaghetti because it's suspicious. Part 4 is the best because Josuke finds an alien and his first thought is "hahaha let's gently caress with Rohan". Part 4 is the best because Okuyasu. Also, Kira. Part 4 also has amazing looking Stands. Part 4 is the best.

part 5 has a scene where giorno kills a man by turning a banana into a gun and another scene where everyone dances to rap music while a man is getting graphically tortured right next to them 7 and 8 are when araki finally learned how to write a coherent storyline but 4/5 is peak jojo imo

JoJo is a very cool manga where all of these very cool things happen. JoJo is very good. e: My favorite goofy Part 5 thing was Bruno walking into airport, strolling up to some employee, telling the guy he's here to steal an airplane and then asking where they're parked Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Jun 10, 2015 |

Part 5 has a scene where Giorno shoots a dude in the head with a bullet, turns it into a beetle that starts eating the dude's brain and then follows that poo poo up with four double spreads worth of beatdown. What I'm trying to say is that anybody who says Part 5 is bad is wrong on every level.

Moltrey posted:I love that Purple Haze Feedback explored the concept of Fugo's quick temper and how that influenced Purple Haze's appearance. The book has some interesting bits where it talks about how Stand User's psyche affect their Stand. I can't remember the specifics, but I remember something like about how Stands like Bad Company and Harvest mean that User has a more scattered and not quite put together attitude. Would that count for Mista too, then? Either way, I like when that kind of stuff is brought up. I remember either a bit in part 4 or something about it that went into people who have stands with sectioned off abilities or mini-stands, like Killer Queen and Sheer Heart Attack or Bites the Dust, meant there were some issues too but in a more "sectioning off parts of their personality" kind of way.

I'd dare say that Part V as a whole has the best quality of Stands in the series. BaDandy posted:Would that count for Mista too, then? Yes. When that part is brought up, Mista's Sex Pistols is referenced.

Hmm. *puts on the best bullshittin' goggles* Stands are part of nature's background noise and each of them lets the user control a specific aspect or aspects of existence, such as temperature, time or invisible zombies. They are bound to the user's consciousness and/or body through a special type of microorganism or just by the user being really good at something and both their appearance and abilities are shaped entirely by the properties of whatever entity they are manifesting through. When a Stand first begins to form, they are in a state of narrative unstability (a state that can be recreated by exposure to the microorganisms), where their abilities are not yet locked to their final configuration and in this state the unfinished Stand may even harm its user if their determination to survive and physical condition are not receptive to the fundamental force that creates Stands; Narrative Background Radiation (also known as magic or "bullshit") I'm the world's leading Standologist and I'm gay. Gay for JoJo.

Has anyone played the Vento Aureo game? I'm at the bit where Giorno and the Giornbros are driving away from the ice skating guy, and you have to stagger him with Mista for a certain amount of time. I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to shoot at him. I miss a lot, and all I've concluded was that you need to use Sex Pistols when he reaches the middle of the road. On a related note, this game isn't bad. A game with nothing but puzzle bosses seems like the way to do a Jojo game. It'd be great with some tweaking. That, and maybe if they lowered the boss' health, since once you figure out the correct way to fight him, the rest of the battle is just Oraing the boss for a few minutes.

You're supposed to basically just keep shooting at him to knock him backwards with Sex Pistols. If you just keep blasting him as he moved towards you you should be, it's a pretty easy boss fight.
