Stallion Cabana posted:yeah Gappy murdered those dudes earlier. It seems weird if they're immortal because the other two have literally turned into pieces of rock and dust and blown away after they died. They just retreated in their invincible dust form to go into the ocean and absorb the minerals from salt water to reconstitute themselves, obviously.

The Sandman posted:Why is his nickname Gappy? Honest question here. Fun fact, in Japanese, in JoJolion, Josuke has a different kanji spelling from DiU Josuke, but English doesn't have an easy way to differentiate the two. I thought we could start calling him Josefumi when that was first revealed, but thanks to the flashbacks, that would still be confusing, so Gappy it shall be.

Stallion Cabana posted:can we talk about that brutal loving beatdown that Josefumi dished out. He didn't even need his stand. He took out the Aphex bros with just his bare fists and a handful of bubbles. Soft and Wet was just there to add insult to injury. Sinners Sandwich posted:It's just to refer to him as Josuke without confusing him with Part 4's Josuke. The "Jo" in part 4 Josuke is written with a 丈, while Part 8's Jo is written with a 定. When speaking, I think you'd just call them "Josuke from part 4" and "Josuke from part 8," or something.

Or Rokakaka seeds (assuming they're like peach seeds) ...okay i'm sticking to this theory actually, there were two fruits, he has two extra testicles, that poo poo's magic and i would not be shocked if we're setting up for the rokakaka tree popping out of Gappy's crotch.

Okuyasu Nijimura posted:It was pretty incredible. Just those panels where Josefumi is sitting there watching the twins come in and he's glaring up at them... please let me live long enough to see that animated, because it was loving awesome. That said, I do feel like Araki missed an opportunity here to foreshadow some future bad guys, or even to showcase some dude(s) showing up and getting beaten solely within the confines of the flashback. I get that's not exactly how Araki operates, but it makes the fruit mafia feel a bit smaller than it probably is in retrospect. Assuming Damo goes down next month and there's some dude who threatens the Higashikatas after him, where was that guy while all this was going down in the past? Who's at the top of this pyramid scheme anyway? We've seen a brief flash of a single face in Josuke's "Memory," but the guy hasn't even shown up in this flashback.

Hold on. What if... part of Jesus Christ's body wasnt recovered? What if his testicles fell off and got buried? So they mixed with some random fruit in the Higashikata soil and thats where Rokakaka comes from?

The United States government wouldn't have left without Jesus' body in tow, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn his presence had a distinct aftereffect on the local environment. The rock men are likely tangentially related as well.

If not Jesus' testicles then maybe a nail or something, just enough to make a sacred fruit from his body. Perhaps the rock people are a side effect of his powers saving america.

Would any of Jojolion reading cool guys want to or be willing to write up brief character description/rundown/summaries for the characters in Part 8. Just so that people like me have a slightly firmer understanding of who is who, and who is also who, and also who isn't who else? Also, did you say "Fruit Mafia"?

Daiya Higashikata - Blind, California King Bed, steals memories. Hato Higashikata - Hot Jobin Higashikata - Hot dad Speed King, can make a localised point very hot and more Mitsuba Higashikata - Irrelevant Tsurugi Higashikata - Kid Paper Moon King, can alter how you perceive appearances. Palawanicus Joestar - Beetle, Brojo, cooler than Joshuu Iwasuke - Dog Kyo Nijimura - Maid Born This Way, attacks you with ice and a motorbike, next person's sister Kira Yoshikage - Hottest Killer Queen, yep. 50% of Josuke Josefumi Kujo - Soft & Wet, the other half of Josuke. Karera Sakunami - Love Love Deluxe, can summon hair, wants the D Johnny Joestar - He would later die of a rock. Villains - Ojiro Sasame - Idiot Fun! Fun! Fun!, controls people beneath him. Yagiyama Yotsuyu - Architect I am a Rock!, draws items to a person. Is a rock.

I thought that line was less literal "this is the first time I see her properly and she's cute" and more like "you know, I haven't really paid attention to her before, but now that I'm actually checking her out she's kinda cute"

ArmyOfMidgets posted:I dunno, I think there's some dog inside of him, maybe they swapped hearts or something internal because Gappy is a Good Boy but Kira and Josefumi aren't quite Good Boys despite not being bad boys, so they needed just a little bit of Goodest Boy and since Okuyasu isn't around a Dog needs to be put in the mix. Lil bit late coming in here but the other body is just dead. Kira's dead body gets dug up and the police note that it's missing a bunch of bits (including his balls). It happens in like, chapter two or three, maybe? Very early on. Whose soul does Gappy have, though? That's the question, because souls are definitely a thing in Jojos. Josefumi seemed to be dying at the end of this Chapter whilst Kira was healing, so I don't think its really cut and dry that Gappy is like, a resurrected Josefumi with amnesia and Kira's nads. I think he's his own person, really. Two cool bros squished together into one cooler boyfriend for Yasuho.

She supposedly hung with him and went to Kiras house. There's no situation where Josefumi can come to this conclusion and have it gel with how close Karera says they were

Karera strikes me as alt-Yukako, so I don't feel like it'd be too crazy to assume she's bullshitting Josuke that they were a lot closer than they actually are. I'm really curious about her picture and the fact that she knew about the rokakaka though.

I don't think Kaera is bullshiting Josuke about how they close they were out of any malevolence though , just greatly overstating their relationship out of loneliness. Bullshiting is even a strong word as I don't think she's intentionally deceiving Josuke, she just wants a friend. Even now, the dude she liked who was just starting to like her fused into a different dude who doesn't even know who she is.
