There are some similarities between Yu Yu Hakusho and part 4, but that's kind of just because, yeah, they're lifting from the same Japanese delinquent stories and combining them with supernatural punch-offs. And yeah, Yu Yu came before part 4.

Yeah, they both just use Japanese school uniforms as a base. Which just gives me the amazing idea of a Diamond is Unbreakable/Cromartie High School crossover.

Some of the human spirit powers in Chapter Black are very Stand like. And then later on in Hunter x Hunter a bunch of Emitter type nen users straight up just make Punchghosts.

Just like in the Persona 4 Arena fighting game. It'd be a good basis for a JoJo fighting game!

hey Josuke I meant to ask back when you posted your Soft and Wet wallpapers; do you have any Tusk ones? I'm using the Soft and Wet for my laptop and it's really nice so it'd be cool if you had one of Tusk for my desktop

I'm using the Soft and Wet for my laptop and it's really nice so it'd be cool if you had one of Tusk for my desktop I don't. My creative moods strike like once a year but I'll keep Tusk in mind and if I ever get a good idea for it, I might do it. I tend to do better with things I want myself and Tusk's not a priority of any sort to so that doesn't help. I'm more likely to me a Kira 8 one than anything else at this point. TL;DR: I don't have one, and don't expect one but it could happen eventually.

During the Chapter Black saga of Yu Yu Hakusho, they had one of the villians, Seaman face everyone in an Arcade game and obviously inspired by the D'arby Younger fight. Shame there's no clips online, Genkai was hilarious. My dream Jojo avatar would be an animated gif of Surface's stand user shaking his hips in the op.

It wasn't Seaman but yeah, that was a fun one. It ended up with Kurama causing a grade schooler to die because Kurama can't not kill people.

Okuyasu Nijimura posted:I mean, he could explain it well, can't judge by the translation we have. Have you seen the episode of Futurama "Time Keeps On Slippin'? It's like that, but Diavolo is aware of what he's doing during the timeskips, but when people are doing things in the skipped time they can't react to King Crimson or the things he's doing, behaving as if he was still in the same spot he was when he initiates the skip. That's how I explain it to people. If they haven't seen that episode I can't help them.

Genthru really is the weakest arc antagonist in Hunter x Hunter, which is a shame since his particular application of explosive power is pretty cool. Kira, meanwhile, is only a little bit behind Dio in my mind. Both are on my favorite villains list.

I'm sure if I just focused harder when reading those chapters I'd get GER a bit better but honestly I'd rather just wait for translations to catch up eventually. I'm really curious about how different a better translation would be; I was describing Ghiaccio to a friend today and was remembering that panel Daxing Dan posted where the bad translation basically said the opposite of what he was supposed to be saying. Whoopsy!

Dio is a more interesting villain character wise thematically, but in terms of Villians Like To See Onscreen Doing Bad poo poo, Kira is way up there, probably along side Valentine. Like, there are times where I wanted Kira to win and that's pretty hosed up.

The only interesting rub to Genthru's personality comes in at the tail end of Greed Island, but at the very least his fight is pretty sweet and brutal.

If it makes you feel any better apparently that was just a temporary powerup, and the arrow fell out of Gold Experience and now if he needs to kill people he just has to stick to old fashioned methods like making them eat a gun-banana.

Okuyasu Nijimura posted:I was, but actually I appreciated that because it makes it easier for me to explain King Crimson since yeah, it's a bit like that to me in my head. It being the ultimate defensive Stand is basically true because GE was technically like that in the beginning, what with rebounding the physical attacks on the life it creates. I think Araki less forgot about that and more focused on the other poo poo it could do (and using that to win every fight just wouldn't be very exciting, yeah). It's the Ultimate Muda. But from what I understand 1) It resets everything back to "zero" 2) This not only includes one's death (they still happen, there's just never a finality to it and so the Infinite Death Hell Loop happens) but one's will. This is probably why King Crimson stopped working and why DIavolo wasn't able to manifest it in the death loop. tl;dr:  EDIT: Now that I'm thinking about it, King Crimson is a very good defensive Stand as well when you include Epitaph, and since this is a retread of Stardust Crusaders, GER being as it is is probably along the same lines as Jotaro learning how to stop time because SP and The World are "similar Stands".

The way I explain GER is that if you attack it, it says, "nuh uh" and sticks you in an infinite death loop.

I'll reopen the thread tomorrow, but yeah, I may have to ask the veterans to ease off the trigger juuust a hair since we've got this whole other thread to freak out in anyway. That thread's recent problem wasn't your guys fault, but speaking generally we are prone to dominating the conversation. Not gonna come down hard on any of this since we're still better than, say, the IBO thread was, but keep a certain common courtesy in mind for your fellow posters. That's all I expect from you.
