My assumption on him sleeping under the mattress has been that it's because his earliest existing memory is of sleeping while buried in the ground.

I started rereading and I'm up to early JJL again and I'm noticing something that I didn't notice last time --

what the heck is up with this dialog? Is it just project bite me or is it just gappy or what

edit,
vvv god i hope so, wonder why it's the only translation this website's got for early chapters

He might just sincerely be an idiot. And for the record, PBM's Japanese seems to be just as lovely as their English, given that their staff will stubbornly defend their frequent translation errors when you point them out. I'd suggest tracking down Hobo-1's translations of the early chapters if you can. If I remember correctly, they aren't absolute garbage.

Gappy is so loving OP, please do not nerf.

I was hoping that we'd get a little more info out out Karera, but the fact that she's caught on to what happened between Kira and Josefumi is pretty interesting. I get the feeling she's the only one who actually knows the whole story.

I think Karera is a rock human too, and her and her buddy Josefumi met Kira and all started hanging out together. "Unemployed, homeless drifter with a stand" is apparently what a lot of rock humans are, and she fits that to a T.

The intro to Rock Humans was fascinating and a bit disturbing. Beings like these have been done before, but Araki's art and attention to detail give his Rockmen an eerie and slightly gross touch.

Speaking of Rockmen...

Probably because Anjuro only appeared in a few chapters before Josuke stoned him for his crimes.

True that. I think Joshuu needs to be more involved in the next arc or get into another fight to push him into likable territory for me.

No way. Joshuu needs to stay a hateable little prick forever.

He's just that good at it.

Also, if anyone needs to come back and kick some more rear end, it's maid Jotaro Nijimura. Wanna see ice motorcycles pop out of the most ridiculous things that can be opened.

Agreed on both parts. Joshuu is too unlikable at this point for me to come around on him and motorcycles driving out of windows and taxis is amazing.

Reading through Vento Aureo, it is funny that Giorno is the son of Dio but actually has the powers of Kars. Sex may be useless but his 'I'll just get out of jail free with my incredibly broadly defined nature powers' spirit lives on ...

Jesus, I started reading JoJolion a few months ago and I already forgot about an ice motorcycle Stand called Born This Way...

I want more of Yashou and her Stand that's just an all powerful search engine

JoJolion is extremely good.

When people talk about Part 5 someday being adapted, these are the first two things I think of and get excited about.

My snap judgment of Sex Pistols was that it was just an improved version of Hol Horse's stand and that comparison is just not fair at all.

So apparently Jolyne's big fight with Sky High (during which she of course casually set herself on fire to get an advantage) was just setup for a PSA about the importance of wearing a motorcycle helmet.

There aren't too many other stands that have their own distinct personalities like Sex Pistols does (do?). Off the top of my head I can think of Echoes Act 3, Foo Fighters, Yo-Yo Ma (green dude from stone ocean - had to look up that name), and Hey Ya! (Poco-Loco's buddy, also had to look up that name). There are probably a couple of others I'm missing but there are definitely far more stands that are blank slates upstairs.
