There's gotta be some some universe where Xtreme Football took off. In that universe, it is the sport of choice for JoJo's.

My favorite thing about Dio is just Diego from Part 7. He's cool.

I'm reading Stone Ocean right now and I'm really confused why Dio's flashbacks all seem to take place in broad daylight, did Araki just forget he's a vampire?

He also completely forgets about the neck scar IIRC, and the ear birthmark but that got forgotten about a long time ago

another thing I like: DIO learned about how well electric lamps work by hanging out with his boyfriend in what looks like hotel rooms and still lived in a hazy castle shrouded in darkness and mist

Dio just wanted a thematically apropriate location to have a showdown with his nemeses but he didn't know when they would arrive so he had to live there for a few weeks.

EDIT: On topic, my favorite thing about Dio is that he doesn't give a gently caress about anything and yet is still justifably annoyed at Vanilla Ice's inability to use a door.

He probably had the lights on for his boyfriend's benefit. Alternately they had to turn them all off so Terence could run his game consoles due to the lovely state of Egyptian power service.

Araki has a stage play adaptation of some non-Jojo stuff coming out http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-09-07/jojo-creator-prison-break-stage-play-casts-eriko-hatsune/.92605

Dzhay posted:Just finished reading part 5, Jojopinions follow: I agree that the ending was a mess. I'm not sure if King Crimson was actually inconsistent or just seems that way due to a combination of the strangeness of the concept, a bad translation, and Diavolo not always spelling out how he pulls off particular tricks. For example, the odd bit where Bruno sees himself could be explained as Diavolo giving Epitaph to Bruno. Giorno not using the damage redirection ability is odd. You could come up with a bunch of contrived Watsonian explanations, but I think Araki just quietly dropped it because Gold Experience is powerful enough as it is.

Dzhay posted:Just finished reading part 5, Jojopinions follow: When I've said before that gold experience confuses me it's more because abilities ate forgotten or morph in odd ways. The ending was definitely odd. I chalk a lot of it up to translation- that sort of epilogue with the stone would have been much more poignant had it been translated better. But I love Vento because the gang is fun and the stands are interesting. Bruno and Mista's stands in particular? Also, I love Risotto Nero and having Polnareff come back was nice. I find that rereading chapters as they are translated makes it more fun. I know there are folks who aren't as into the colored part four stuff, but the guy typesetting for that is partway through highway star now and boy does that look nice in color. Crazy Diamond's stand cries look cool.

Vento probably has the best core group of protagonists if for no other reason than how well they all play off of each other. Say what you want about the Stardust Crusaders, but they never bonded on the level that allows face-licking and piss-drinking.

Such a well knit group. Fugo who helps in all of one fight and says if Giorno gets caught it's his own problem, none of them really care that Fugo left the group just kind of like "Sure, whatever loser", Trish who helps out once, and Mista going out alone to take on Prosciutto as no one backs him up.

A couple components would be better had they been fleshed out more, like Doppio (though again, that could be translation). As funny as it is to have a man in a turtle explaining multiple personalities, that left me understanding less than I had before.

I feel like King Crimson's power suffers from it being really hard to show in comic form on top of the it being badly translated. It's really difficult to have a Stand that "frame skips" when you're seeing things frame by frame anyway. King Crimson will be way less confusing when (if) it's animated.

The time skip stuff I 'get' inasmuch as I think anyone can get it, and Doppio is basically 'this is what happens when you have multiple personalities AND a Stand," right? Like it's a Stand manifestation of his old self?

Like it's a Stand manifestation of his old self? I think Doppio looks different because Diavolo is contorting his muscles? I feel like that was mentioned somewhere, that its more of a posture thing and not a stand power that the two of them look different.
