That tie with the chains is really cool, and very subtle, I love it. Jotaro belts are also nice. Also, does the "official" Kira tie do that thing where the pattern gets larger as the tie gets wider? That's what breaks the zazzle one for me.

Fig Chat: I went through a real long period of wanting to have all the main villains and their stands, but the Killer Queen arrived with an ear that was all chewed up (like my desk). it really sucked because you can pose it perfectly It soured me on the medicos figures but I may cave and get that Jo2uke/Soft&Wet, that thing looks awesome. will also go nicely with the inevitable (i hope) SBR figures one day. i want every single one of those bastards. regardless of what happens i'll always have my Combi

Gyro SAS is confirmed already and I think they're showing a prototype for him next month maybe? Really unfortunate about your Killer Queen's ear though.

It's too bad, if you ordered D4C and it came with a chewed up ear, you could just roll with it.

So i'm reading the Rohan chapters, which have been great so far, and I got to the one with Tonio and, uh, no fishing allowed due to being Higashikata property?  uh does this mean this is in SBR/JoJolion universe continuity?edit: nvm ends with Okuyasu and everyone.

I haven't read JoJolion beyond the first few chapters so I can't comment on much else yet, but visually Josuke 2.0 is already a very cool-looking JoJo. The simple sailor outfit is actually probably my favourite JoJo-look. Honorary mention to Jotaro "Screaming Middle-Age Crisis" Snakepants. Even Joseph aged more gracefully than that, you're just embarrassing your daughter in front of all her new prison friends.

Nope and JoJolion's primary translator apparently said he's not interested in translating Rohan one shots for reasons I don't believe were expanded on (not that he has to, of course) so it's just a waiting game of if/when the more part-time JoJo translators decide to pick it up. I guess JJCA's crew are probably busy with Vento when their translators have time to do JoJo stuff. Though I choose to believe "top kek!" is how Araki wrote it.

I stopped watching the anime halfway through season 3 for no real reason, then when I found out part 4 was confirmed, I watched the rest within a week, then started on the manga and finally got up to date. Then I read this thread and it was like reading the manga all over again. And now I am reading the manga again, because I read this thread and it clued me into things I missed. I especially loved that big character examination on Dio from forever ago. When I was reading I kept my eyes out for this, but I never found it: Where the gently caress is the Kakyoin reincarnation/reference? Lots of characters got one, even Abdul (real sad he didn't last). I loving love that dude and I'm so sad his last vestige was in part 3. The closest I can think of is Norisuke, because Noriaki starts the same, and -suke is kind of like an ending to put on names. But he's not very Kakyoine at all, so it's a stretch on my part trying to see what I want to see. I just love Kakyoin so much.

Yo, imma blob posted:I just love Kakyoin so much. I know this is hosed up to say, but....Polnareff should have died instead of Kakyoin. I know his arc is to get revenge for his sister and to do that, learn to rely on others along the way, but it's not like the DIO fight helped that along too much.. He could've died to find out the power of The World to save the team in return for Avdol and Iggy giving their lives to defeat Vanilla Ice, but I guess that would make Kakyoin's time in the second half of Egypt even lamer. Also, Polnareff knew what he was doing when he signed up for this trip. He was prepared to die to avenge his sister. Kakyoin just wanted to hang out with his first friends ever in his entire life and then he dies in Egypt in a water tower with a hole in his loving stomach thinking of his mom and dad who have no idea where their son is. also Hierophant Green Requiem would've been crazy

Moltrey posted:same dude You know, as much as I love Polnareff, I agree. It's kind of tragic in its own way that he lives to go on without purpose and with so much death hanging over him. It would have been a cleaner end to have him fulfill his goal and die, or die trying to. Plus like, Kakyoin got some totally sweet scars and didn't even live long enough to brag about them to the friends he like, just made. I like the story as it is, of course, but I also have to wonder why Araki went in that direction and hope it's not just because it would be sadder that way. I wonder if the reason Kakyoin resonates with a bunch of people on the internet is because of the "I lost years of my life to crippling depression and the isolation it brought" aspect. His character song strikes a real personal note for me at least. I love my dead gay rerorerorero son Speaking of, was the last time Kakyoin's parents knew where he was when the "gas explosion" happened at the nurse's office?

Kakyoin's death works really well. The awkward loner tragically laying down his life for the sake of his new friends makes for very powerful feels and the entire saga is JoJo is that of people heroically giving their lives for the greater good; in that sense Kakyoin is one of the most JoJo characters, his final Emerald Splash even mirror's Jonathan's Final Ripple, who similarly died after being sucker punched by Dio!

i'm glad Polnareff survived, but it is hosed up that he had to watch his boyfriend die twice in addition to their dog dying. not even accounting for all the other tragic stuff that happens to him later. it's hard for me to really imagine Kakyoin living though, because they tie up his end in an emotionally powerful way. plus i'd almost expect him to show up in all the other original universe parts.

I don't know how I'd feel if Polnareff died after two of his friends gave up their lives so that he could live on.

If Kakyoin had lived instead of Polnareff I don't know if I could take seeing him crippled and alone at the end of part 5. Seeing Polnareff like that was jarring enough. Seeing broke-out-of-his-shell Kakyoin locked away again would be worse than just having him die how he did. For me at least.

Kakyoin's end is way cooler than him just living I agree, I probably just fall into Yo, imma blob posted:people on the internet is because of the "I lost years of my life to crippling depression and the isolation it brought" aspect. His character song strikes a real personal note for me at least. I love my dead gay rerorerorero son camp. Also I think it would be cool to see Polnareff, someone who initially refused any help to defeat J.Geil, decide to give his life to the group in order to figure out The World, but I suppose his fate in Part 5 kinda does that?

Kakyoin's death sucks and is annoying when Joseph is sorta just brought back with that ridiculous transfusion thing (note: Joseph may be my least favorite JoJo so that tempers my response) but just in terms of pure plot it was not only a foregone conclusion but kinda necessary. Kakyoin's whole arc is coming into his own/redemption and that pretty much necessitates a standoff with DIO, knowing that DIO's way more powerful. Someone else said it in here recently but Kakyoin goes into that knowing he's going to get busted up; his objective is to prove his worth to himself and to the guy who twisted him around in the first place. Have him face DIO and win and it screws with Jotaro's path, have him face DIO with a group and it's robbing him of his face-to-face, and have him survive by not facing DIO at all and it's a major disservice to him and completely out of character. Kakyoin goes out in the best possible way for him: he comes up with something super clever (that works with about any Stand BUT DIO's), he shows DIO he's not going to be cowed by him, and he sacrifices himself to give Jotaro an edge. Meanwhile, keeping Polnareff alive is vital because his arc's centered around quasi justice but honestly more like revenge, and if a character is going for the latter it's not supposed to go smoothly for him. Revenge is extremely messy and it comes at great personal cost, too. I kind of imagine that's why he'd keep working with Jotaro afterward, I don't think he has any idea what to do with himself other than hunt people down. Seeing him in Vento is really hard and his fate is also fairly loving awful but it's a pretty literal telling of what that sort of life does to you since it ends up physically breaking him down bit by bit. Losing the sidekick(s) in that way is a pretty common trope for a reason: it works as a plot device. The notable JoJo exception also ends up working because sacrificing Okuyasu with Kira is kind of a waste, and I don't say that as a slight against Kira as a villain in general. Kira's just not the same sort of big bad that the others are supposed to be since his focus is self-preservation.

Joseph is a lot better in SDC than BT but his best scene is saving Shizuka in DIU. He'd be at the rear end end of my list too, which omits Giorno because of lovely translations. Second last over Jonathan. Josuke Higashikata fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Jan 20, 2016 |
