Diavolo and Doppio are both awesome looking and in my top 5 JoJo character designs but yeah the dudes aren't all that menacing.

yeah, i don't think that even a good translation will magically make him more interesting. his stand and dual-personality thing are neat but other than that i never gave a poo poo about him, which doesn't bode well given that other antagonists manage to be interesting along with having cool stands.

On the other hand it's hard to compete with predecessors like DIO, the sexiest man alive, and Kira "Got A Boner" Yoshikage.

jolyne was mentioned nowhere in the Florida Woman twitter account. :colbert:


all shitposting aside I'm enjoying the first chapter so far, but CHRIST is the translation poo poo.

Stone Ocean's translations and scans are awful for the first and I think 2nd volume. It quickly gets better.

I know Im going to get shat on for saying this, but I get a weird Deadman Wonderland vibe from Stone Ocean. I dig it alot, but Im more than likely going to just read a few chapters so I dont completely spoil myself for the inevitable adaptation

Has anyone else in this thread read/watched YuYu Hakusho? Because territories are totally just stands without the punchghosts. The territories showed up right around the time Stardust Crusaders was ending.

I guess Araki got even with Togashi by making Okuyasu a carbon copy of Kuwabara.

i forgot how it takes time for okuyasu to become the doof we all know and love, because on this reread i've been reminded how...weird he looks when first introduced. even though it's his first incarnation he almost looks like a weird knockoff.

Buff Okuyasu is super weird, he gets so cute by the end that it's hard to believe it's the same dude.

people joke about the whole 'araki sameface' thing but i honestly hugely prefer that to whatever the gently caress okuyasu and angelo and whoever have going on in the beginning of arc 4.

Every villain in JoJo part 4 starts off in big buff scary bad man style then deflate instantly after they're beating. Okuyasu goes from super detailed buff man to the kuwabara knock off we love in like 3 pages, Lcok and Surface shrink, Tonio goes in and out of it once Josuke pushes his buttons. Even rohan had that super buff over detailed look going until Josuke beat the poo poo out him.

It's a neat art style thing Araki seemed to be doing throughout the part.

Well, except Valentine. He didn't exactly have the time to look like more of a douche after getting beaten but man did he get more intimidating over the course of the series.

I haven't been reading Jojolion hardly at all yet, but I don't care about spoilers in JoJo so I clicked this. I was disappointed that this so-called "big reveal" wasn't about Gappy's balls.

I've said this before, but I love how Part 4 is full of pointless filler and after I was done, I was disappointed there wasn't more of it.

Actually, JoJo is a bad JoJo.

Also, via the One Punch Man thread because relevant (mostly) :colbert:.

Gyges posted:

Filler is padding to stretch something out, that is not what this is. It's an expansion of the story for the purposes of the story. It's not like this is a direct and exact translation anyway, it's an adaptation that is very faithful.

Unless you want to say other side stories are filler to. In which case you're wrong and I feel sorry that you don't understand divine revelation.

That is literally only a spoiler if you know what it is spoiling. I feel like it's along the same lines of saying something like, "They could really stand to change up the power sets in the next season" at the end of BT or something.
