I don't know. Gyro's humor comes out very forced and nonsensical. I don't know why Johnny finds it so funny.

I wished all his jokes got some sort of explanation at the end of the chapter because either they're forced and weird or totally lost in translation. The one Diego makes sounds like it would've been amazing in a terrible way judging by the translator's note, but some are just left as this weird nonsensical translation and I always wonder what the Japanese pun was.

I thought it was translated pretty well, it's just a really lame joke. Which makes it hilarious when combined with Diego's incredibly smug look. I wish got more of him hanging out with Johnny and Gyro.

SBR wasn't even a JoJo story until some time after it started.

This always seemed like a really silly thing to say because while true that it wasn't labeled part 7 immediately, the first chapter had a stand and had numerous references to jojo including introducing gyro and then chapter 2 introduced the johnny with the text about it being his story...

Diego is a jerk but to be fair to him everyone treats him like an utter rear end in a top hat when they've never even interacted with him before, so i can understand why he maybe wants to just eat their loving face off.

Oh no, I mean, I like Diego's. That one I "got". But then there's some Gyro makes that are completely nonsensical and could've used some sort of translator's note, even if it's just "Yeah, it's that bad" so I know I'm not missing anything.
Also I thought Diego was cool and even understandable/relateable in a weird way. Dude had a messed up childhood that basically formed his whole identity, and then a bunch of assholes try to screw him over during races. And as far as tritagonists go, there's worse deals than "Recurring rival who ends up fighting the big bad and almost wins".

One thing I wondered in SBR is that Valentine says that he is the only Valentine with Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, but all these alternate Valentines you see him jump into are in the middle of also fighting Dio and Hot Pants and Johnny and poo poo when they have Stands (Johnny definitely does, you see Tusk act 2 next to him at one point), did he just have a different Stand which got overwritten by Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap?

I mean, that makes sense since the people who get Stands through Corpse Parts don't seem to necessarily get the kind of Stand they would develop on their own, like how Gyro has his eye-ball Stand but when he perfects his Spin he has another one, and alternate Diego just has the World instead of just copying Ferdinand Scary Monsters.

I have no idea what stand was in the first chapter unless you mean the Steel Balls in which case that is mystical mumbo jumbo that exists anywhere.

Totally, insofar as it's cool if you like Stone Ocean, but I think it made it clear that Araki needed some time to rethink what he wanted to do. SBR is a great because Stands are less a thing onto themselves and more a compliment to a person's natural abilities, and I hope JoJolion doesn't stray too far from it.

One of my favourite things about SBR is there is only one, incredibly brutal ORAORAORA smackdown and basically the entire storyline is leading up to it.

SBR is really good you guys

jojolion is good and it's basically a remix of arc 4 with the production values of steel ball run. we don't even know the main antag yet (maybe???) but so far i have a hard time believing it won't be amazing all the way throughout.

Much like Looper time travel rules. "I don't want to talk about time travel because if we start talking about it then we're going to be here all day talking about it, making diagrams with straws."

King Crimson is poorly explained so it makes sense that lots of people ask about it, kinda how everyone thinks Josuke being rescued by the dude with the hair might be Josuke through time travel shenanigans.

I mean, it's not even something that you have to think hard about. If you have no idea what's going on in scenes with KC at all, I suppose that makes sense, but to put it simply, it removes time. Epitaph sees briefly into the future, and Diavolo chooses a moment from that prediction to remove.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
King Crimson is cutting up to 10 seconds out of everyone elses collective time while Diovolo gets to do poo poo. Still happened but no one else can percieve it happened. Why do people find this stand hard to understand?
