It's not like I've got no worries...
But I'll be fine.
I finally got my girlfriend to start watching part 2 with me after we finished part 1 like a month ago and for like the first half of episode one she was convinced that Joseph was just Jonathan but he was made immortal by the Dio head so he was still young 50 years later

that is my newbie jojo story I hope u all like it

The JoJonium vol 4 (Vol 1 of BT) has Araki straight up say he made Joseph identical to Jonathan to convince readers it was still the same series despite his death so she's not hugely far from the truth.

Interesting. Phantom Blood is the first time a Shonen Jump protagonist straight-up died, iirc, so it makes sense Araki was worried about that,

They are helped by the fact that unlike Dio, they have a cool & rad protagonist to bounce off of.

I went into Stardust Crusaders wondering what kind of relationship Dio would have with Jotaro given how closely he was tied to Jonathan. I figured Dio would have a compelling relationship with him, possibly even becoming worthy of being the only other JoJo that Dio gave respect to.

Boy was I wrong. :v:

I can't wait to hear about how Dio comes back, and by what artifice, and how it's all Jonathan's fault for being a dumbass.

That's my prediction, is that this whole series after Part 1 is all Jonathan's fault.

It is his fault for taking forever to figure out what the stupid mask did while Dio figured it out in like 2 seconds.

I thought jonathan did figure out what the mask did as far as the blood stuff, he just didn't know that using it on a person would turn them into a vampire

Well yeah he figured out what it did, he just couldn't figure out what its purpose was.

Plus I could be wrong but I think Jonathan said it took him the entire 7 years just to figure out the blood mechanism.

Jonathan invested all of his stats into Courage and Resolve and didn't have any left for Intelligence. Don't judge the poor boy too harshly

Jotaro's cool, but what I was getting at is that he doesn't really have an interesting hero/villain relationship with DIO.

Although

Bad Seafood posted:

I was going to try and contest this, but thinking on it, Jotaro and DIO are rather similar.

Both of them end up getting pushed down their respective paths due to what happens to their mothers, exude charisma towards women, are pretty merciless to their enemies, etc. I wonder if there's a comparison post of these two somewhere.
