I like to think Joseph Joestar died peacefully in his sleep aged ninety-whatever immediately prior to the creation of [Made in Heaven] as one final gently caress you to the curse of the Joestar bloodline

Oh, wow. Diamond is Unbreakable/Not Crash was the second part out despite having 10 characters. Jojolion was the first, and it only had 2. Jonathan, Jolyne, and Gyro are hanging on and defying the odds, though Jonathan happens to be partnered with DIO, so...

It was a thing at the time. George was murdered in late middle age; Jonathan died young, George II died young. Joseph was expected to die but broke the curse.

It was more of a thing back during the first two parts, as Bad Seafood said, but it's still not easy being a Joestar descendant.

Don't forget that Joseph was basically dead for like 5 minutes at the end of SDC.

Joseph simply pulled off a ruse to trick the curse back in his late 20s

It's weird how I hate Joshuu a little less reading through a second time; I'm convinced that it's because of the melting part I mean he still does unforgivable poo poo but it's also like he's some idiot kid no one felt like raising right so he's just... yeah. Maybe if I ever re-read again I'll veer back towards hate.

The other issue is that he hasn't done anything other than whine about things or melt into a sink for, what?, months or even years in real time? At the same time, look at this footage and tell me you wouldn't want to see this team in EoH:  And now I'm totally gonna reread JJL, too!

I was saying last night that he's kinda like buster bluth though yeah, obviously a malevolent bluth. Re-reading makes me love Yasuho even more than I already did. She's fantastic, someday I'll type lots more about her. I try not to think about how much I like Gappy cuz it's not gonna end well.

I try not to think about how much I like Gappy cuz it's not gonna end well. On the subject of ladies, I really want to see more of Yasuho Hirose, Morioh Detective, and also more of Kyo and Holly! It feels like their plotlines were left sort of dangling ages ago. Maybe it's just because Part 8 is the only part that I've started to read mid-run, not to mention relatively early on in its serialization, but it feels like a lot of interesting stuff is being set up and then just not getting addressed again for super long stretches. Not that I'm actually disappointed, though: I wouldn't trade any revelation for, e.g., the beetle fight saga.

I get the feeling that Gappy's going to grow content with the fact he's a 2 for 1 and live happily at the end. Contrary to what I talk about later on in this post, I actually get the feeling Yasuho is the one who's most likely to die for real at this point out of the primary characters. Karera still feels likely to me, but she's more minor right now. Assuming it's following on from JoJolion, I can't quite see how the next JoJo is going to be written into play at this point in time though. Determining the parentage of a child between what you'd assume at this point would be Yasuho and a dude with 4 balls who is two people would be a nightmare. I wouldn't hate it if it was Kyo's child though. I wonder if Araki's even thought about what his 9th JoJo will be like at this point on the assumption he's doing Part 9.

I need to know that that magnificent rear end in a top hat is still drawing comics and picking fights with teenagers somewhere. mods pls change my name to Rohan Kishibe tia Amaryllis fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Nov 24, 2015 |

I think Araki will avoid it. Even though the old joke is that Rohan is Araki's self-insert, perhaps partly due to his popularity as a whole, he definitely serves as Araki's avatar in the world fairly often. (The difference being that Rohan's personality isn't Araki's.) I'm not sure Araki would be interested in creating a counterpart to Rohan when he can use Rohan for so many different things in the JoJo universe.

I always saw Yotsuyu as being the closest analogue to Rohan, seeing as they're both artist-types.

Gappy and Yasuho have twins. One is somehow Dio. There you go, Araki, I've already got you set up for the next part.

How far off from the next part are we, by the way? I haven't started JJL yet, and I suppose it's not necessarily going to be the same length as any of the other parts, but how far in is it right now?

I'm just gonna go ahead and guess we're around the first third mark depending on what happens in the next few chapters, if so it'll probably be around 100~120 chapters total maybe. Just a tad longer than SBR. So it'd be somewhere around 6 years for the next part?

I'd say we're just around half way too but I think it could fall slightly on either side of that mark. Even if you're not looking at page count, chapter count or volume count, you can roughly tell that we're probably close to the middle of the part from the story beats.

Remember the second time Josuu used his stand to assault a confused Yasuho in a bathroom stall? Good charecter otp

Yeah. It's also worth noting a substantial chunk of SBR's page count was dedicated to the "Final" battle, around which most plot threads converged early on. While I doubt Jojolion will have a similarly involved final confrontation, it's worth keeping in mind for overall length estimates.

I was dancing around the whole bathroom assault thing above because I've brought it up elsewhere as a reason to hate him, only to be textually shouted down by internet babies whining about how Joshuu didn't know what was going on or some equally lovely excuse. Even if he somehow manages to redeem himself overall, I will always dislike him for that. (Though also for having one of the worst haircuts and most punch-able default expressions in the entire series.)Josuke Higashikata posted:It's due near the start of December, I believe. Nice! Another thing to look forward to next month along with the new chapter.

joshuu is definitely a shithead but i guess a mild thing in his favor is that he's a shithead mostly from being really loving clueless and/or basically a spoiled kid. basically anyone getting drained into a sink is horrid though, yeah.
