It helps that they gave them the actual traits of the characters and reenacted manga panels rather than for the sake of drawing animals.

Remember that time kira made a dude eat his own fingers and also yelled at him to get out of a restaurant because he didn't want to be in the same restaurant as a surfer
kira's only "crime" here was wanting that loser to decide whether he was a man of the land or a man of the sea. totally justified IMO

I liked whoever it was that pointed out the reason Kira made him eat his fingers was probably because he thought he was a Rock Person.

Kira is cool. I prefer blond Yoshikage Version. Kira (Sailor variant) seems like kind of a pissbaby but I appreciate his efforts to save a mom. If only Part 4 Josuke and Part 4 Kira had teamed up to save a mom.

Are you absolutely certain you don't mean Part 8 Kira here? Also, why are you differentiating Josukes? There's Josuke Higashikata and Jousuke Higashikata. They're totally different!

They might mean Jousefumi Kuujou.

Also, I finished re-reading JoJolion up to the present and I definitely like it a lot better on a second read. I quite liked it before, but I think it helps when you're not waiting a month for each chapter like I did before. It feels like a post-JoJo's Adventure, and it's kind of really neat for that.

e: Also, whoever said that the Higashikata's are like the Bluth family pretty much nailed it.

The Kira got a lot of re-release variants. There's Blond Kira, Dark Kira, Dark Kira (Disheveled Version), Detective Kira, Sailor Kira and then Sailor Kira can attach to the Waffle variant Josuke to make Sailor Josuke.

Also I think you mean Josuke 4 and Josuke 8, as ASB designates them.

It's really stupid that they do that. The character portraits are enough to very clearly distinguish them and it's ugly as gently caress to have the digit there.

They use it so people can textually differentiate them. It's not a good solution, they could just call him Another Josuke or something instead like they end up doing with Diego, but whatever.

If we are just talking about convention I could survive with Josuke vs Jousuke. I hope after Jojolion wraps up we can pick a better name than Josuke to refer to the part 8 protagonist. Hopefully he starts going by Josefumi in the story and there wont be two josukes anymore.

Wouldn't Josefumi be considered spoilers? Not that the games ever really cared about that anyway.

Gappy is unironically a good choice though.

Gappy is a perfectly fine name to refer to him with, but no localization team is gonna pick up a fan name as on the nose as that

Only insofar as people would know "This guy doesnt know who he is, and by the time the story wraps up he knows his name is Josefumi"

I mean, its not really a meaningful spoiler and people who are late to the game are always going to be at a disadvantage story wise. Knowing that this Josuke storyline is resolved and the amnesiac character recovers his memories at some point shouldn't be a shocking revelation. Josefumi was not a known character before his reveal in the comic so its not like theres any danger in his name being well known.

IMO its as much of a spoiler as knowing that Jolyne exists. Yea, it tells you that Jotaro has a child and from that you can infer he must at least survive the trip to Egypt (since Jolyne is already born during DIU it doesnt really tell you anything about his survival there)

Gappy is fine in its bubble, it's an issue if you're using it exclusively. He's Josuke though, call him Josuke.

He's not Josefumi or Yoshikage so using those doesn't work.

The first page of the latest chapter is essentially him accepting that he is Josuke, he's been named Josuke since super early and he's called Josuke in all the merch and advertising. There's absolutely 0% chance they'll move on from it.

Also, Josuke deciding that he is Josefumi would be a real kick in the nuts considering Josefumi willingly gave his life so that Kira would live on.

Josefumi's existence and identity is a huge spoiler above and beyond that of Jolyne being Jotaro's kid or whatever. Josuke's identity and who he is is one of the core storylines and anything that gives that away is a huge spoiler.

"Josuke" and "Another Josuke" would have worked well enough, as would just calling them "Josuke" and "Josuke (8)", both are way less clunky. The problem is their names are spelled differently in Japanese, so that means there's no translatable convention for keeping them separate native to the manga or game itself.

Alternatively, just call them "Josuke Higashikata, the one with the hot single mom" and "Josuke Higashikata, the one with swimsuit pancakes", but that might break the table.

Yeah I know, but calling the man Josefumi Kujo would just be easier on us, the readers. I wasn't trying to suggest it would make sense in the context of the story :P

While I agree, I was thinking about this in general. Like, imagine Jojo in 2024 when Part 9 is almost done. Anyone new to the series then will just know that its about a guy who doesnt know who he is, and possibly that hes really two people, just like everyone who is familiar with jojo knows SBR is about a horse race, even if they havent read it. Who Josefumi Is is a big spoiler, but Josefumi Existing is just part of the setting.

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
Does anyone think Josuke's bite mark was from the rock dog Iwasuke?
