It's really good, but with one legitimately bad twist

e: I got over it fine because there are parts of that game that are high points for the whole series, but the ending is a bit of a let down, don't let that stop you from enjoying it though

The ending sucks and I really don't care for where the game heads after a certain point, but yeah I didn't let that stop me from enjoying most of it.

Alright, cool, I'm enjoying it so far. I've stopped trying to guess what's going on so I'll probably be okay with the end result and am just enjoying hanging out with mean ol greasy boy Junpei and my friends Sigma and Phi, the best power duo in video games.

I had totally forgotten why Joseph and Jotaro stayed in Morioh even after defeating Red Hot Chili Pepper and thought it was just a huge plot hole, but I guess this week and last week answered that.

I assume he is also a vehicle for Araki to talk about manga and stuff like that, right?

Araki isn't much like Rohan, he's very friendly and pretty down to earth in interviews, but I'm sure that speech about 'reality' is straight from the author.

Yeah, Araki Said that people have taken the character of Rohan as a lot of himself and have become like, afraid to speak to him, but there's still some of him using Rohan as a mouthpiece of course.

Not to mention the fact that Rohan literally read JJBA in this episode and thought it was a masterpiece and decided to use it as inspiration to write his own manga and...

Rohan wrote Diesel. :stare:

The cover of Araki's "How to draw Manga" book from either last year or the one before.



The OVA for getting all of the Blu-Rays is the Millionaire's Village episode of Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe. I would not recommend reading any of the Rohan manga chapters until Diamond is Unbreakable has finished though.

Rohan is the most transparent author insert in the history of fiction, yeah. To the point where Araki has to assure people he's not actually an rear end in a top hat when he meets them in person.

Though if you read the author's notes, you know that Araki is a pure and precious flower.

Even divorced from my love of JoJo and Araki, I really like this author note and there are some drat good ones.

"Heads up to all the young people out there. Stop climbing trees as soon as you read this. However, ignoring my friendly wisdom is even more dangerous. Policemen are already looking for you. Especially throughout the Tokyo city center. I know, I know, climbing trees is just too drat cool to give up. But, consider the following: The moment you relinquish your tree-climbing desires is the moment you avoid falling on your rear end and looking like a complete buffoon stuck in the hospital. Dislocating your pelvis, scraping your knees, or kicking the bucket can be just the beginning. Furthermore, your mental health comes in question the second your foot encounters bark. Now, a special message to any of you crazies reading this advice while hanging out on a tree branch, 'RETURN TO EARTH!' I understand you wish to defy gravity and the natural order of the entire planet, but climbing trees is the wrong way to do it. Hopefully, this message inspires every one of you to come to your senses and discover new found respect for your own well-being."

Well that was some cheap-rear end animation. Rohan himself is very good but thankfully I'm not much of a fan of his intro arc anyway so whatever.

I think the thing about fax machines, not having to live in Tokyo and the like is something Araki has mentioned somewhere, maybe an interview or an author's note.
