Are they seriously just calling Polnareff "Jean Pierre" in Eyes of Heaven now after their little Eiffel fiasco? Lmao, are you serious. I'm amazed they even kept N'Doul and Mariah.

I'm sorry sir, but Pet Shop is too reminiscent of the Pet Shop boys, unlike N'doul which is a very common name so the former just had to be changed, please understand.

guts and bolts from the anime thread posted:

Another thing that I've been noticing a lot in Part 2, both in re-watching the anime in between Part 4 updates and reading the JoJonium, is the weird obsession with specifics, especially statistical specifics. It could be that I just don't remember them from other parts as distinctly, but Battle Tendency specifically has this proclivity to tell you exactly how high Pillar Men and vampires can jump, in meters, and the pressure (in kg/cm2) they can exert with their limbs or even bones; introductory pages also tend to include point-by-point summaries of abilities or the goings-on of the plot, and while it's never necessarily bad, it is fairly comical when Speedwagon says things in the middle of a fight that feel as if he is just rattling off the Wikipedia article about what a Pillar Man can do.

My greatest wish is that Part 4's manga also does this, so I can learn about the exact specifics of Bad Worse Company's entire armament.

i hope this guy likes calluses

Assuming 39 episodes (and I've never seen anything official explicitly stating it will be), it should go something like this:

  1. Jotaro Meets Josuke
  2. Josuke Meets Angelo
  3. The Nijimura Brothers (1) (includes end of Josuke Meets Angelo)
  4. The Nijimura Brothers (2)
  5. The Nijimura Brothers (3) (includes start of Echoes)

  16. Rohan Kishibe's Adventure
  17. Fatty's Harvest
  18. Yoshikage Kira Wants a Quiet Life (1) (includes end of Fatty's Harvest)
  19. Yoshikage Kira Wants a Quiet Life (2) (includes People of Morioh)
  20. Cinderella (1)
  21. Cinderella (2) (includes start of Sheer Heart Attack)
  22. Sheer Heart Attack (1)
  23. Sheer Heart Attack (2)
  24. Atom Heart Father
  25. Janken Boy Is Coming (1) (includes Kira's New Face)
  26. Janken Boy Is Coming (2) (includes start of I Am an Alien)
  27. I Am an Alien
  28. Highway Star (1)
  29. Highway Star (2) (includes start of The Cat Likes Yoshikage Kira)
  30. The Cat Like Yoshikage Kira
  31. The Man on the Tower (1)
  32. The Man on the Tower (2) (includes start of Engima Boy)
  33. Enigma Boy
  34. My Dad Is Not My Dad (includes start of Cheap Trick)
  35. Cheap Trick
  36. Another One Bites the Dust (1)
  37. Another One Bites the Dust (2) (includes start of The Invincible Crazy D)
  38. The Invincible Crazy D
  39. Goodbye, Morioh Town (includes end of The Invincible Crazy D)

It looks kind of awkward, not because it would be rushed in the conventional sense, but because there's so many episode breaks in odd places, after the Stardust Crusaders anime went out of its way to avoid that kind of thing.

This still holds, I think.

Hopefully they replicate that when the anime gets there by just having little images floating around people's heads while they talk dramatically about 「justice」 and 「rotation」 and 「the napkin」.

SBR just in general, hiccups and all, is flat-out the best thing Araki's ever written - taken as a whole - it's just that the napkin speech is in a league of its own even within the context of SBR's greatness.

Oh yeah totally the napkin speech is super good and a genuinelly interesting concept, I'm just constantly reminded how loving great Steel Ball Run and is some of the best fiction ever, I love it a lot.

I was very skeptical when people in this very thread told me Part 7 was better than Part 4 but man if it wasn't true.

I'm at the Hishigataki Family introduction and Yasuho's saying Kira's body is probably going to be cremated in a temple because he doesn't have any relatives.


Whoops. Holly's pretty much being portrayed as a Holy Mother of ER Doctors so that would have probably come up.
Do you think Araki catches himself when he's writing the manga and beats himself over it behind closed doors but moves on, or does is he simply not bothered by it as long as the storie's good?

Also thinking he was mentioning the temple just to put Dead Man Kira on the table

They probably wanted relatives to deal with funeral plans, but with Holly the way she is, that would be difficult so without any other next of kin, they cremated him.

The most recent chapters would have been better if Damo or the explosion damaged Kira's perfect hands he loved so much but protecting Josefumi was more of a priority to him. Josuke didn't get Kira's hands in the trade off

I love those guys and the way they got brutally murdered by accident. Also they confirm that the people with Valentine's hair that were hanging out with him early on weren't alternate reality Valentines, just his underlings who copy his hairstyle.

Lucy Steel should have gotten more chances to actually use her stand, it was really cool.
