I had a friend who said the last five chapters of SBR were their favorite part. They have a pretty big hard-on for all things DIO, though, so I guess that's to be expected!

Speedwagon's stand is extremely good at giving cuddles but only to the Joestar master race. You just can't feel them at all if you're not a Joestar though he'd never try hugging you if you weren't one anyway.

Duck and cover. That's the first thing to do. Duck and cover.
Speedwagon's stand is "Keep the Fire Burnin" and it gives him perfect control over his body temperature, which is how he unfroze Zeppeli. This is also how he walked the hot Texas deserts finding oil by day and grilling steaks on his abs by night.

The earliest possible announcement for Part 4 is near the end of October, they're doing an event then for the anime then but I wouldn't put money on it then.

Care to tell me what this was?

It's Okuyasu's return. I'm just curious about a couple things, one thing in particular seems to mean two different things to me. The other differences don't actually change the meaning, it's just interpretation I imagine.

Okuyasu saying "Check it!" and "Gotcha!" with the former being something I like cuz he's said it a couple times before but the latter most likely being the more accurate representation given what's happening there. I guess I just prefer 'Check it!' for no valid reason but I'm 99.99% sure you'll say that it's supposed to be gotcha and clarity should win the day there.

The thing I'm most curious about is "hosed up, right" vs "it made me feel real alone."

Eh, they're both in character to me though yeah, I prefer the 'check it.' I'm neutral on the rest, just curious about meanings. Sorry, I hope I didn't open a can of worms. :S I sound like a nitpicky rear end in a top hat now, which is always a pleasant position to occupy in these threads

The thing I'm most curious about is "hosed up, right" vs "it made me feel real alone."

Check it/Gotcha in the original Japanese script is ホレッ! which, as far as I know, is basically like something you grunt out while performing an action, so I think either line works here. I can't say I recall Okuyasu saying it incredibly often, but then again, I haven't really read Japanese JJBA in depth either.
hosed up, right/It made me feel real alone is とてもさびしい夢だったよ which has a literal meaning of something like "It was a dream that made me feel deep feelings of solitude." I'll let you decide which translation sounds better.
In some cases, there are major differences in dialogue because the Invincible Trio likes to play fast and loose with the script, which I suppose is a matter of personal translation philosophy. At the risk of sounding rude and arrogant, I think the other cases come from the fact that TIT just aren't that good at Japanese.

And for what it's worth, I think I'm a nitpicky rear end in a top hat too.

I think the black and white version sounds a lot more like an actual conversation between young men actually would. It sounds much too formal for a ruffian type like Okuyasu on the coloured version.

MAYBE dying-not-dying made him SMARTER did you ever think of that no you didn't well it did so there. :colbert:

Thanks Daxing Dan. I think I might actually like "made me feel real alone" a little more because it's less teenager-ish but is still in keeping with the way he can be at times - he's not particularly guarded emotionally so being blunt like that seems perfectly Oku-ish and not necessarily philosophical so much as it is just an astute shrugged-off reflection. Plus that does sound to me like a closer approximation of what was said originally.

I'll forever cling to the check it thing though hahahaha

Being a ruffian isn't an indication of intelligence. Okuyasu is a genius in his own way.

Maybe rascal is a better term.

Okuyasu is dumb but he's dumb in the same way that Polnareff is dumb.

Josuke Higashikata
Mar 7, 2013


Yeah, they're both sort of oblivious to what's happening directly around them for the most part, that gets them into some serious trouble at times but when it's time to throw down they get their head in the game.

Polnareff and Okuyasu could have had some great scenes together, hopefully that can happen in EoH.

Eyes of Heaven has an OC character for its story.

I'd hedge my bets at it being DIO having absorbed the Green Baby and starting to get Heaven, kind of how Pucci starts looking a bit different.

Obviously Dio and Pucci did the fusion dance to become Ducci.

Alternatively, Dio just cut all of the subterfuge and became Jesus.

Insightful comment: Steel Ball Run is good.

Fine, details I think it was better at the start, when it was more about the race than merging with the body of Christ and rectangle powers, though having written that out I'm clearly wrong.

As ever, the main villain's power didn't seem as well thought through as the others (how did he do the "everyone shot Johnny" thing?) though it was nowhere near as bad as most of the time things.

Over-thinking: how could alt-universe Di(eg)o's version of The World use a timestop without there being a Star Platinum equivalent out there to copy it from? (And could we not have kept dinosaur antihero Dio for the finale?)

The World didn't copy time stopping from Star Platinum. It's just the same type of stand.

Diego even can't use it for the insane lengths of time DIO could because he isn't a vampire, but was restricted like Jotaro.

Also President Valentine is the best and I wont hear anything against him or his Stand, which is the best Stand name in the entire comic goddamn.

If Jonathan Joestar had developed a stand, it would've been similar to Joseph's.
