No translation of this just yet.




however, Eyes of Heaven is confirmed for amazing.



Apparently the roster is totally done now, 52+ Part 4 Jotaro (no mention of DLC).
Supposedly 100 costumes that you can get from S ranking missions. Black haired Giorno isn't one.

That Wataru Hatano blog was translated too.

The real Pokemon begins here
The anime's rule for name changes is any stands named after artists or bands get changed to the name of a song by that artist/band, with exceptions for stuff like Steely Dan -> Dan of Steel. They left most other references, including high profile stuff like Rubber Soul, unchanged. Using that metric:

  • Crazy Diamond is a Pink Floyd song reference, that's fine
  • Aqua Necklace is an album reference, probably fine
  • I don't think The Hand is a direct reference, so it's probably fine
  • Bad Company is a band, it'll be changed
  • Echoes is another Pink Floyd song name, that's fine
  • The Lock is kind of a reference, but it's a really generic name regardless
  • Surface is named after a band, but also a single word that fits in context, it'll probably be changed
  • Love Deluxe is the name of an album, it's fine
  • Pearl Jam will get changed
  • Red Hot Chili Pepper will be changed
  • Achtung Baby is an album by U2, I doubt it'll be changed
  • Heaven's Door references a Bob Dylan song, it's fine
  • Ratt is a band reference, but also the stand of a rat, so probably
  • Harvest is an album reference, but also a generic word, I doubt it'll be changed
  • Everything to do with Killer Queen references albums and songs by Queen, but never Queen itself, so :getin:
  • Cinderella is a band reference, but its power is also a reference to the fairy tale, so we'll see
  • Atom Heart Father references a Pink Floyd song, so it should be fine
  • Boy II Man is going to be changed
  • Earth Wind and Fire will be changed (assuming its name is ever actually used in the series?)
  • Highway Star is a song so it's fine
  • Stray Cat is a pretty generic term that makes sense in context, but also a band, so we'll see
  • Superfly is an album, probably fine
  • Enigma is a "music project" but also just an english word, so ???
  • Cheap Trick will be changed

Whoever said Gio won't get an Haruno outfit was debunked by the stream, not sure where the original person got that idea.

There was a really interesting story trailer in the stream though.

i mentioned it in the anime thread, but 'the hand' is a pun off of the the name of a band actually called 'the band' using the fact that the symbols to represent h and b look kinda similar or something. so it's probably fine, yeah.

In Japanese the (written) syllables ha-hi-hu-he-ho can be changed into ba-bi-bu-be-bo by adding a dakuten, which is basically two small marks. Kind of looks like a quotation mark! So the English word "hand" written in katakana is:

ハンド
ha-n-do

"Band", however, is

バンド
ba-n-do.

So yeah, "ha" and "ba" are very very similar.

note that I am still in my introductory Japanese learning, but I'm pretty sure this is right

I used to think this game looked bad but now I really want to ride this crazy train, is it going to be released in the West?

Josuke Higashikata
Mar 7, 2013


No info about that yet, but ASB wasn't announced for the west for a month or so after it came out in Japan and that was before the big JoJo boom.

I would never guarantee it but I'd think it's likely unless the game as a whole is unplayable trash and the demos weren't that level of bad.

One thing that's fairly notable is that DIO doesn't road roller anymore, his GHA is a combo of the pose he does when he's about to put a flesh bud in someone, then when he teleports behind Hol Horse (iirc) followed by the Kakyoin punch.

Also, Killer Queen has spikes on his back apparently?

No, that's the book Jotaro found after searching for in Dios mansion. its the big plot reason why Pucci and Jotaro are involved in Part 6

I'm joking cuz he's burning the diary out in the street in what looks like part of the fight area instead of inside, whereas in SO I thought he was somewhere in the mansion when he was shown reading it

Araki confirmed that the SBR universe is the reset universe years ago, not that it's ever going to have anything to do with the plots of part 7 or 8. It just ties parts 1-6 to 7 and 8 in the tiniest way.

Thought he confirmed it wasn't the reset universe, and that SBR is unrelated to the new universe at the end of Stone Ocean

every arc is good, thanks

also i'm pretty sure it was Actually Confirmed because i remember someone bringing it up and providing a link or something. not that it really matters in the long run because the end result is exactly the same. not like the new universe would magically call directly back to arcs 1-6 in either case.

Stone Ocean was hella cool so it was worth the world ending anyway I think.

I just wouldn't read anything into any of it.
That was when SBR first came along, now JJL is out the Joestar family tree has no Irene or her father. Araki probably doesn't care either way and goes with what works.
