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.

Exactly. No way in hell will I get into that discussion here.

E: actual content: I figured we were halfway through, too.

Joshuu is a good character, a lovely person and despite being a total poo poo and horrible, somehow sympathetic when in his family dynamic because he's such a loser.

Joshuu could be redeemed as a character and I would be down with seeing him develop, but if Araki was struck by lightning and the last page of Jojo was Soft and Wet beating the poo poo out of him I would consider it a perfect ending to the series

I also like he observant he is about everything. He grasped the situation on Shakedown Road faster than Josuke did, even though he ended up on the wrong end of that and he came the the right conclusion regarding the Lambo instantly, though he was talked out of it because Jobin didn't think it could possibly be true. Like, there's a wise and observant brojo hiding inside that kid, but it's absolutely buried in poo poo.

Even the better members of the family have some pretty lovely qualities, due to their wealth and superhuman abilities. It's kind of this dark mirror to the Joestars, who rarely if ever came across as spoiled.

Of course, the Higashikatas are still a wonderful bunch of characters. I even like Joshuu, despite him being a creepy dweeb.

That's pretty much it. I guess I just find him interesting in spite of the shittiness and start to feel bad for him because he's just such a child.

Also I'm gonna rep posters' art in here for them since everyone does good work

Amaryllis made an excellent Hot Pants & an updated Morioh Comix with more Rohan!!!

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.
My headcanon is that Irene and her dad might exist in JJL, and are reincarnations of Jolyne and Jotaro, but they don't have to deal with being Joestars anymore.

Irene still has a Joestar birthmark, given how D4C showed off that there are lots of different universe I don't really think its that hard to just go with Irene-Universe isn't Steel Ball Run Universe, like off all the different universes there should at least be one where the Joestars are happy and don't have to deal with Stone Masks and Stands

Irene was shown to be a far more relaxed and happy person, who was on good terms with her dad. This suggests her life so far has been pretty okay and Jotaro hasn't spent most of his life away fighting Enemy Stand Users, It seems reasonable to assume that that isn't the SBR universe with all that entails, and makes for a much better ending for the original Joestar saga

The real Pokemon begins here
Or they could just be regular people in the SBR universe. Last we saw they were in Florida, halfway around the world from Morioh. I always figured Irene wasn't a Joestar really, she just had the birthmark because of gravity or something, the same reason she's still rolling around with Hermes even though never ended up in prison.

Aww. :3: I was feeling especially good about the colours on the last comic. I'm just doing little doodles right now while I come up with an idea for a new page (which has yet to hit me, but it will eventually). I am so proud that both of the Rohan ones elicited a lot of "eat poo poo Rohan" tags.

i can only assume that they're going with a more streamlined art style to begin with, because even though they were pretty faithful with stuff like changing iggy's looks in stardust crusaders it'd be way more jarring to start off with the brick shithouse look in arc 4 and then smooth it out later on. so josuke will look slimmer than his predecessors (not saying much) and jotaro will probably be less ripped and have more of his bulk come from his coat.

Josuke Higashikata

I don't think there was ever really a debate to be had about them emulating the art style change. Shows struggle to stay on model anyway, having several sets of models to stay on isn't a realistic expectation.

the jotaro evolution chain goes Jotaro -> Uncle Jotaro -> Dad Jotaro, losing out more muscle in exchange for coat bulk with each iteration. also he kills a giant snake with his bare hands or something to make pants at some point? sea snake? anyways, i'm excited

When I first showed a friend JoJo, the subs I was using didn't refer to Speedwagon in the third person and I think it marginally detracted from his excellence.

I honestly think i'd be kinda weird to do so anyway.


It's still looking good to me (though admittedly it's not exactly easy to tell from that pic), I am somewhat bewildered by people who are raging (elsewhere) about how 'bad' it looks. Dunno what they were expecting, really.
