Seeing as how the asteroid from which Stand arrows are derived is from space, and Mikitaka is also from space, we can conclude that Mikitaka's people have been harnessing the power of Stand-producing celestial bodies to give themselves Stands, furthermore,

Josuke Higashikata posted:We don't have a word of God, no, but I would consider the fact that david obviously had Yuki Ono in the studio to record Josuke's lines and still chose a silent helper and the fact that they can certainly talk to Araki to get clarification on things they need would be as close to word of God as it comes. If it were Yuki Ono who said these lines, it'd be pretty sealed by that point, but they pointedly chose not to. Not really, we know it's not supposed to be Josuke by the END of DiU, I'm arguing if by that point in writing it might've been a thing. Even then, David chose to keep the ambiguity because they could've also picked a random VA to record those lines instead of Josuke's and there you go, definitely not Josuke. But this'll go on for a while if we keep on the topic, I assume. We're both almost in the same page, I just think the intention at the time of writing is not super clear. Waffleman_ posted:I was making the point that it's weird to think that somebody modeling their appearance after a person makes them both the same person using real world examples. I mean, if you show up at the barber shop with the exact same facial features as Daniel Radcliffe and asks him for a Daniel Radcliffe haircut then it makes more sense. standard owl posted:Okuyasu's is strawberry chocolate chip!

Dias posted:My favorite ice cream flavor is pistachio, as long as we're doing non-sequiturs. Josuke likes neapolitan best for how well the flavors get along , Okuyasu eats rum raisin since he thinks the rum makes him seem tough, and Koichi likes green tea because it's green. Rohan eats a different flavor every time to experience something new, but prefers gelato, since Italy is  . Just like him.

Araki: See Josuke modeled his entire life and look off this single good deed done by a random townie who he never saw again and the moral of Part 4 is that it's cool and good to help your friends and add to your community. Idiots: Wow, Josuke looks a lot like his memory of the guy he modeled himself off of...COULD THAT HAVE BEEN JOSUKE?

Given how the guy in the flashback was drawn identically to Josuke, the most likely scenario is it was intended for Josuke to go back in time but it was a dropped plot point. See also all the other dropped plotpoints throughout JJBA because Araki changed his mind before he got to the end. It's not surprising that people expect it to be Josuke if you go by Chekhov's Gun.

I'm too lazy to do the math, but Kira and Reimi might even be around the same age when he killed her. Reimi was killed 16 years ago when she was age 16, and Kira is currently 33 or 34?

Yeah I just did this math and Reimi died when she was 16 in 1983, Kira's 33 and it's 1999 in Morioh so Kira was 17 at the time and it's very possible they had knowledge of each other before Kira just killed her family. It seems weird now that Kira would kill her family and her dog, but apparently he did and eh, serial killers are weirdstandard owl posted:also the first line of Sheer Heart Attack is "when you're just 17 and all you want to do is disappear" Expect My Mom fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Jul 8, 2016 |

I feel like Jotaro's favorite would be sea-salt, although I suppose ice cream already comes from the sea in a sense. Also I mentioned in the anime thread a while ago I was hyped for a couple of episodes in DiU and would do my best to not say poo poo about them there...and one of them is Mikitaka's dice bullshit. The other one is the best fight in all of Jojo, RPS KID.

Amaryllis posted:Oku's gotta cook for himself now that it's just him and his dad. Of course he's going to go out and eat garbage for breakfast instead of being late for school. I don't know about the chef, but I definitely could see Oku as a waiter, and vividly describing the food to a customer. My post-DiU headcanon is Josuke becomes a therapist, to help fix the things Crazy Diamond can't.

it's literally the same face and body type, dude C'mon, don't say it's COMPLETELY DIFFERENT when the only actual difference is the clothing, might as well take the "it looks like josuke because josuke doesn't remember him too well so he envisions himself as kuwabara-man" line. It's a neater explanation and isn't instantly denied by people having two working eyeballs.

Sometimes it feels like the people who love the time-travel theory about the Mysterious Stranger or who go on and on about "plot holes" in JJBA or other comics don't understand that it's super common for long-term serial fiction writers/artists to drop interesting things in from episode to episode without necessarily having to (or even intending to) follow up on them. Not doing this follow-up doesn't turn those threads into "plot holes." It's a hole if something about the story doesn't make sense, or is inconsistent or illogical, when that detail has no follow-up (and granted, this series does have those); otherwise it's just something interesting that didn't become anything but which could be explored, e.g., in a spinoff. Or in your imagination.

Yeah, it's not a plot hole by any means, it's a hook that didn't get used at most. As I said, you could easily go back and explain it as "it was always a random guy, and he was depicted as someone stupid similar to Josuke because that's who Josuke wanted to become". Also, yeah, it's sweet that he adopted the "delinquent" look because of a good guy.

I have a bunch of words I want to tack onto what amaryllis said because I literally write a serialized thing for a living so there's an element of the flashback argument that is especially grating, but I'm lazy so I'll probably forget to do so once I'm back on a computer again. Ultimately don't you think Tomoko would notice more if the boy looked familiar, given the fact that josuke most certainly looks like his father and grandfather in many respects

Not really, since she stayed in the car and probably wasn't paying much attention to whether the 16 year old helping her had a passing resemblance to a 60 year old white guy she banged 5 years ago given her son was dying.

also you just write shizuka like that forget-me-not "invisible" x-men character that showed up in a couple of comics: solves a bunch of problems but no one ever notices because of their powers.Okuyasu Nijimura posted:Ultimately don't you think Tomoko would notice more if the boy looked familiar, given the fact that josuke most certainly looks like his father and grandfather in many respects I find that would be easier to "justify", honestly. It was decades ago, it was during a blizzard so impaired visibility, Josuke could've made an effort to conceal his face...plus it's not an uncommon plot beat in time-travel stories.
