They actually announced some Part V chars a while ago iirc

Some but not all. No Bruno announcement yet.


Okuyasu looks ok to me, more like the menacing early okuyasu than good times bro but that's nbd. It's probably impossible for me to dislike okuyasu in any setting, though.

I'm more waiting to see some Part 6 characters. I know we'll get Jolyne and Pucci because of course, but I'd like to see FF and Weather showing up. And of course more SBR people, but at the very least we get Diego.

It's hilarious how shady the actual protagonists of SBR are standing next to Mountain Tim. A couple of selfish rich kids with just enough ethics to realise that letting anybody have a magical corpse that prevents anything bad from happening to them is a really bad idea. I'm saying this from a place of love of course, the SBR boys are great.

I know it gets asked a lot, but after finishing Part 4, a friend and I are thinking about Part 5. However, we've both heard that the translation is Not Good, which concerns me. How bad are we talking? Clunky at times but overall decent, or Google Translate having a stroke?
Also, I hear about a new translation? Does anybody have any details on that?

Alternatively, we could skip to Part 6, but I'd rather not skip a part without a really good reason.

The good answer is to read all of them because they're all good.

The other answer is that, because they're all relatively self-contained and all good, read in whatever order you want/whenever you want. You can always read it later.

the arc 5 translation is readable but its biggest sin is that it doesn't give characters as much personality as they should have, so in a way it's like reading a dictionary with pictures.

also, the new translation is going along well enough (and is updated frequently) but like most anything it's going to take at least some time to finish.

That's a good metaphor, I think I get it.
Is there a link to the crew that's making it, or its speed in general? I like that it's updated frequently at least.

The part 5 translation was done by people who didn't really know Japanese. This results in the translation being very flat and often wrong. The new translation is apparently really good. I haven't read it yet, but I think its around a third of the way through right now?
With how often people ask this, it really should be added to the first post.

Part 5 is just dry and gets details wrong, the English itself is fine. Don't skip parts, reread part 5 as the new translation gets updated.

The English is gramatically fine, but often does not actually match the meaning of the Japanese, to the point where sometimes they were clearly just making something up to fill holes. It makes the characters much more bland and confusing stand powers even more confusing. That said, it still has some of the best fights in Part 5, and the coolness of the characters is able to overcome the handicap at times. I'd recommend still reading it, as there is a good translation underway that's gotten enough done that you'll get a good feel for the characters before it cuts out, but it'll probably be years before it is actually finished.

Yeah but okuyasu was basically just drawn stardust crusaders style at first,same as josuke at the time. Those two mostly shifted with the total art style of the comic, rather than standing out like the others.

Sadly I just moved so they're packed away somewhere, but thanks to birthdays and Christmas, I have Part 3 Jotaro, Star Platinum, Jolyne, Jo2uke, and Soft & Wet. Plus the first two JoJonium hardcovers.

JoJoVeller is amazing though, I'd love to have that one day.

I don't wanna post lovely phone pics in this thread like I have before, but I have a Statue Legend Crazy Diamond (not poseable where I believe Aurain's is) guarding my copies of JoJonium and it's really cool.

I also really wanna get JoJoveller but yikes that's expensive.

It is, I was going to get a couple more figures instead but figured I'd just wait and see with those since the ones I want most next is a part 4 trio (rohan/josuke/okuyasu and okuyasu is like $100 just on his own right now).

Otherwise my collection's basically the same that anyone else would have cuz there's a finite number of official things you can get in the US, but I'll post a couple of the fan things I have (not the full collection because it's honestly fuckin shameful)


I'm mainly showing that so you see what redbubble stickers look like if you care, those are the white ones on the bottom. The top ones are by like t-raps/traps shop or whatever on storenvy and I like them a lot. They were pretty cheap, too? I can dig up the link if someone wants it.




I have more Jojo art than that up but those two are definitely my favorites, I just have them up so high on the wall that it's tough to photograph them well. The left one's a redbubble print; it should be matted but I'm lazy.



On a non collectible wank note, I just fell for the same "part four announcement" joke post elsewhere that I fell for already once before. Hurry up September 30
