i'm praying for the endpoint to be after Shigechi's death and when everyone gathers in town to see his ghost ascend and Josuke bumps into Kira as they leave with resolve to catch him, but that might be juuuuuust too far

i was checking the volumes and basically the halfway point is actually when shigechi gets mulched. i feel that either that point or kira escaping with a new face after sheer heart attack would be good endpoints for the season, but yeah, time is always an issue

I'd love for Sheer Heart Attack to be the halfway point but Yoshikage Kira Killing A Middle Schooler already feels like it's pushing it so who knows

I was an idiot and thought the initial end point would be Kira helping his hand girlfriend out of the car after the Rohan fight but at this rate that's gonna be like Episode 15 - 16 and goddamn I'm really excited to see Kira this season. Show me the Hand Daddy, David Prod

The person who is miffed that the OP makes it sort of obvious that Koichi will get a Stand makes me wonder: did people who started reading this really think nothing at all would be happening with him in that regard and he'd really go through the whole thing sans Stand?

... I mean the second he actually saw poo poo go down I thought it was obvious that at some point he'd end up with something, even though I didn't know anything about the arrow obviously.

Dont judge me, I design your manhole
We had Paco (I think that was his name) in part 1, Smokey in part 2, and Anne (though she didn't have a name) in part 3, so it's not surprising to think Koichi might not have a purpose in part 4. Araki likes making useless little kids, it's just that part 4 doesn't have one.

I assumed Koichi would get a Stand, but I wasn't 100% sure because up to that part, you either had a Stand from the get-go or you were a normie.

You're right, you're right. I guess it just seemed like something that'd definitely be happening.

But I mean, even if Koichi wasn't spoiled for me in any way I guess it's also fair to concede that because I went into DIU with a bunch of random spoilers filled in for me my experience can't really be held up against someone's whose is genuinely spoiler-free.


It's cute that Koichi just sort of sits there now because they could not be making it more obvious that Echoes will be added into the OP later.

Yeah, and anyway in ep 3 he gets hit by the arrow, and by 6 he'll definitely have Echoes Act 1, so that'll catch up real quick.

once battles start being decided using stands it's pretty obvious that all the major players are either gonna end up with stands or end up dead/gone, because otherwise you can't exactly have someone fighting stands without one

Every time I get excited about posing my sas again I remember how god drat difficult it is




My friend is bringing me back a tidy JoJo haul from Japan including an SAS I've wanted for ages. Good thing I didn't hold out on getting Okuyasu until she went there; she's been to a couple shops (she went to several just to get me the main SAS I wanted, I guess!) and she's found absolutely zilch when it comes to Oku merch. When I get my stuff from her next week I'll show it off, there's a Pt 5 figure that isn't hard to find but still until she showed me a picture of it I honestly hadn't realized that it existed.

I meant Gyro here, if it's not clear. He's not a JoJo but he's still arguably the main character so brojo might not fully fit for him.

In retrospect that scene has really grown on me. The universe (or 'Fate') is basically just saying gently caress You to Pucci for thinking he was God. The whole thing plays out like a super-serious high drama version of Kars defeat, it's great

Steel Ball Run has a dual protagonist in Johnny and Gyro, so I wouldn't count him as a Brojo. Mountain Tim and Hot Pants definitely are, though.

Oku is definitely my pick for Best Brojo, he's great, and a lot smarter than people give him credit for.

I'm in the "Gyro is the co-main slot and therefore technically not a brojo so my friend Okuyasu can take the best brojo slot he has earned while Gyro gets to be a JoJo main character who isn't even a JoJo and the credit he has earned from that" camp.


The fact that Gyro has a handful of Okuyasu's iconic lines is the icing on the cake.
