It took me around 5-6 years to get that song out of my head after it was released.

You think that's illegal? Heh, watch this.
I've been seriously bored and depressed lately so i started reading this poo poo.

I couldn't find part 1 so i started at Battle tendency and the first loving thing that happens is the hero punches a nose-picking cop so hard his finger goes through his nose.
Then there's a vampire who's set up as a major villain but then jojo just loving punches him apart and HEY LOOK HAVE SOME NAZIS!

It's just so gloriously ADHD. Am i missing something from not reading part 1? I just know that Dio is an rear end in a top hat vampire and the first jojo died killing him

edit: Fascism! It's A-OK!

Eh, you're kinda missing the buildup of one of the most important things in Jojo mythology, which is the main reason why I'd tell you to go back and read Phantom Blood if you can. That or watch the anime, because it's like 9 20-min episodes, you can finish it in a sitting if you have the time.

Also it only gets weirder.

I will never not repost this.



Reminder: Araki got this published in a magazine for young boys and they didn't immediately revoke his serialization until he taught them how to replicate the effects of food poisoning for fun and profit. Cool Shock BT is not a good influence.

Please. The bond between gentlemen goes beyond mere romance, it is a friendship that transcends boundaries.

Even if it perhaps looks intensely homoerotic, that's just you. Now quickly, warm yourself on my abs.

30 years is a long time to get good at drawing.

The joy of reading Jojo is as much watching Araki grow as an artist as it is experiencing the utterly insane balls-to-the-wall stuff he comes up with.

Yeah, its important to remember that, given the average mangaka schedule, Araki has likely spent at least ten hours a day drawing, every day, for longer than most people in this thread have been alive

Yet somehow it rarely feels as crazy as "Hey kids, here's how to catch dangerous wasps! If they sting you you might die! Not my problem!".

This has been my main problem with the art since like the second half of steel ball run. It makes the Paper Moon King arc extra funny because come on everyone already looks the same just look for the one guy in town with a sailor suit over the age of 2.

I appreciate the fact that Josuke likes to sleep with pressure on him so I don't feel like the only god drat hosed up weirdo out there who likes to have a really heavy duvet on me

I'd probably be fine with sleeping under a mattress, too

I mean, he's essentially two bodies mushed together so he's not exactly normal.

Rereading the ending of the Fun Fun Fun fight makes it clear that Kira was super suspicious of that guy of being a Rock Man to the point of drugging him (my speculation since he's a doctor) and convincing him to eat his fingers to see if they would turn stone or not.
