Koichi destroys Kira in spirit, then Jotaro destroys him in face. I am ready for the no. 3 beatdown in the whole saga.

koichi also gets kakyoin'd in the process as payback for getting jotaro wrecked, so it all works out in the end

all that's left is 5 chapters and they covered 5 in last week's episode. i fully expect them to cut out either the OP or ED to allow for more time, or maybe even both, because it's an important event and i doubt they would leave a little bit of it hanging to be shoved in at the beginning of next week's events.

Kira obliterating Koichi for getting the better of him is my second favorite thing in this arc

Jotaro's shadow creeping up behind Kira as Kira remains unaware is my first.

Finishing SHA tomorrow sounds crazy, but the pacing this season has been fantastic so yeah they can do it Curious to see if they'll mess with stuff like the Yoshikage Kira's New Face chapters that bookend other chapters, since they've been really good anytime they've messed or added to the order of things

The first chapter of Part 8 ends with a lil card that says "A boy with unexplainable testicles and bite marks, the curtain is about to rise on a brand new adventures." So like, you really can't be too surprised at a certain point

that's why i think they'll skip the OP and/or ED. this past episode had a lot of standing around and monologuing and they got through 5 chapters in that, some of that also being a recap of chapter 1 from the end of quiet life, so i'm fully confident they can do that. there's a lot of differences in how things can be portrayed in the anime compared to the manga, so i think the ball is in davidpro's court.

I mean it being weird isn't a surprise so much as the part where it's easily weirder than the other 7 put together. Also thirstier.

Yeah probably but I recently explained the synopsis of Part 7 to my friend who doesn't watch any anime or read any manga and I feel like I sounded like a crazy person listing of random xD bullshit. Part 8 being about an anmnesiac fusion of two friends created by unexplainable geological events (possibly brought on by the corpse of Jesus Christ) who died fighting against a local crime ring run by Rock Humans sounds pretty par for the course after coming off Funny Valentine, the president with a Stars and Stripes scar on his back and his ability to enter alternate dimensions with his ability Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

Part 8 is also very horny, yes

I may have said this here before, but I really hope that if p7 is animated, it's done in the same way as the manga release. So the anime only watchers get to have that hype moment halfway through where it's confirmed it's jojos part 7.

Yeah there's no way of that happening especially given it isn't even half way in before it's obvious it is jojo, it's more like "1 chapter in"

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
I've heard about how they didn't advertise SBR as a Jojo from the start but like... wasn't it super obvious to everyone when the first character introduced was named Zeppeli?

There are people who didn't know Caesar died after watching the Part 2 OP, there are people who will just write poo poo off sometimes and not think about it and it didn't help Araki would never say anything definitive about it for a while.

Like Gyro is in Jump Ultimate Stars, but he's not listed as a JoJo character, he's listed as an SBR character. It was a specific branding for a while and I'm sure some people weren't fooled, but others took it at face value.

it was just an arm, so if nothing else it probably falls into the category of 'araki messed with the design over time to make it look better' like he usually tends to do

Yeah its not until Chapter 2 or 3 we meet someone named Johnny Joestar after someone named Zeppeli. Before that, you could reasonably assume this is the creator referencing his older work. Stands don't even really show up or are referred to for a bit, it's really just Pocoloco's Hey Ya!, which does seem a bit weird in this horse racing manga.

I hope anime onlys get the true SBR experience by realizing it's loving rad as hell and not "maybe even as good as Battle Tendency"and that Johnny is the best JoJo

Its really common for manga artists of Araki's generation and earlier to reuse characters and ideas as parts of otherwise completely different works. Skull Man and Cyborg 009 show up in a shitload of Shotaro Ishinomoris work without being related to their respective series, for instance, and a lot of Go Nagai's manga have Cutey Honey or Mazinger show up without explanation.
