so do you think araki sat on the jesus real name thing for years waiting for a chance to work it in?

He's still sitting on it, it's never brought up in SBR.

We all have to wait for part 9, set in 17 AD.

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
It's also the longest part by quite a bit. You're like... 1/5 of the way through. Strap in.

Oh right, I misread.

Honestly though that's a bit more of a coincidence though since the actual name is transliterated more like Yeshua bar-Yosef, it's only the modern English variants of those names that have the Jo's

"Hirohiko Araki Works" is newer and contains more. not sure about cheaper though

Thanks. It's about twice as expensive but contains 4x the pages. But, I can't read japanese so the Stands and other guidebooks will be utterly useless. :v:

JoJolion feels to me like it's less about actual shounen battles and more about mysteries and weird poo poo happening. I'm not even sure if there's going to be a main bad guy or villain for it this time around but we may just not have seen them yet.

I generally like JJL, but I'm bothered that I have zero percent idea where the story is going. I feel like the main mystery (why is Josuke so weird/ have four nuts) has been solved

it's also the first one I've read in progress which probably has a lot to do with it

I assume the focus from now on will be on what Joubin and Kaato are up to.

And resolving the seeming main plot thread midway through is weirdly common in Jojo, the most obvious example being the Bow and Arrow/Akira plotline in Diamond is Unbreakable. Battle Tendency does something similar with Santana, and even Stardust Crusaders, the part with the most rigid structure, runs out of Tarot cards halfway through.

There's about six volumes' worth of chapters left to go. That means we're about 2/3 of the way through a new translation of Part 5 if you add in Jojo Project's translations.
