The One True Oden

Pretty sure it's a pun in Japanese. That's what incomprehensible jokes like that usually are, anyway.

With Gyro, it's hard to be sure!

I thought some of Gyro's jokes were explained by translators but I guess that's not one of them.

It's a lovely non-joke, but it's not just nonsense. He holds up 4(shi) fingers, then 2(tsu), and finally makes a zero(rei). "Shitsurei" means "excuse me."
It's like saying a random phrase with sign language at the same time you speak it, and calling it a "gag."

My favorite part of these dumb jokes is how much effort Gyro puts into whatever hand gesture he's doing. Look at his arm. It's shaking! Dude's flexing hard.

Johnny thinks they're super good jokes and the songs rule too.

Ban all deniers.

The DiU anime upgraded Josuke to a Nintendo 64 instead of a SNES by the way, 'cos the part's set in '99, where the manga drawn in Nintendo's relevant golden age.

David adds so many small loving touches that really make the experience better. Retroactively adding the star birthmarks in the first season, having photographs of the different Joestar generations and a magazine with Smokey on it in Suzy Q's room, showing Petshop on DIO's shoulder, putting the bow and arrow on DIO's wall, mirroring Joseph's "CAESAR" face when he attacks with hamon and hermit purple... All tons of unnecessary but appreciated stuff. Even the filler moments like Star Platinum using its finger again during the Anubis fight or explaining how Jotaro got another outfit after burning his old one up add to the experience.

Yeah there's a tumblr post I can't get to now as I'm on mobile that's zoomed in more and they're saying it's donkey Kong as well; makes sense.

I think Johnny laughing at gyro is 50/50, there might be actual sincerity at times.

50/50 would make sense because that's how much of his body works.

Someone in this thread said that he was like super sarcastic or something usually? I wasn't really sure, how was that determined? Is it just the way he talks or what?

The intent with the jokes is that he's definitely agreeing with Gyro for the sake of it. The body language and expression convey that pretty well. lovely jokes falling flat happens a couple of times through SSSSSSSSSteel Ball Run.

He does end up singing Pizza Mozarella though so that's just a smash hit GOAT song.

I just realised.
The ED for the Pizza Mozarella episode is like 2000% guaranteed to be Gyro and Johnny singing it, isn't it?

in my opinion the only sincere laugh johnny did to gyro was when he made the joke about opera singers being fat. The rest is high-tier irony.

TIL that I was born the same week that the chapter Caesar was crushed was first published, which owns because I hate Caesar even more than I hate Kakyoin and All-Star. Maybe even more than those things combined.

Thank you for the birthday gift Araki, I love you even more than ever.


(You can figure it out by basically going to part page on the wiki that was being published in your birth year, scrolling to the volumes section and then clicking on ones that you think it will probably be from there)
