Keeping the sides of his head totally bald is crazy high maintenance if you think about it. Other than the first chapter where it's like blonde hair, he's never shown to even have stubble on the side of his head. He must shave it every single morning before going out. Like "Oh no, my super great haircut is ruined by the stubble on the sides of my head, I better shave it off and get it looking great again"

I've yet to finally finish part six.

How do part 7 and eight do on giving multiple characters screentime to get fights of their own? Jonathan and Zeppeli were pretty much a team once they encountered each other. Joseph ran the show in part two. Part 3 was all about Jotaro and Polnareff, 4 has a lot of Josuke, Okuyasu and Rohan, occasionally featuring someone else. Five was a blur but I most distinctly remember It being Zippers, Mista and Giorno. 6 has been pretty decent so far about having Hermes and Foo do stuff.

7 is largely a story about Gyro and Johnny alone so they are front and center for the majority, but others still get some time to shine aside from it.

There haven't been loads of fights in JoJolion and Josuke is in basically all of them, but despite the relatively low fight count, there's still one where he doesn't feature at all.

Part 7 is very much Johnny and Gyro's Roadtrip, and a heck of a lot of fights are them 2 on 1, trying to take opponents with more directly offensive Stands. There are only couple ally characters with a Stands and they help out a scant amount of times, and I can only think of like three fights in SBR where Johnny and Gyro aren't there at all. The fights in Part 7 still completely own.

Part 8 has a lot more allied Stand Users and a good chunk of the Part 8 fights have Josuke teaming up with a different member of the Higashikata family to fight a dude and there's like one where Josuke's not there at all

1) Yeah, I just know that Gyro and Johnny are the main characters. Had no idea if they formed a group like part 3,4,5 and six did.

2) Fair enough. I'd call that weird, if this wasn't the part that's still being completed.

Also, I remember most of Part 4 but

I'm catching up on the new translation of part 5 and Doppio vs Risotto is real cool. And I like how the fight is used to explain King Crimson's abilities more, and a lot of detail is put on how epitaph is used. Which is good because I barely understood it before.

The new translation is really doing a lot to improve Vento Aureo.

Where you reading it it? Or has an official one I can buy come out?

Daxing Dan is part of the group of cool folk retranslating Part 5, they got about ~5 volumes left and are at the King Crimson vs Metallica fight

Daxing Dan posted:

King Crimson vs. Metallica Parts 1-4 just went up on Batoto. Enjoy.

On a somewhat unrelated note, going through this chapter made me realize that whether or not King Crimson is physically the strongest stand out there, it's probably the stand that flaunts its strength the most. I mean, DIO punches through Kakyoin's stomach, and when he throws a knife, the entire blade gets embedded into Joseph's throat. On the other hand, King Crimson not only punches through Buccellati's chest, it also chops like 3 feet vertically through his shoulder, and now, in this set of chapters, it throws a pair of scissors with so much force that it makes a clean cut through Risotto's foot, bone and all. It's kind of insane.

Jonathan doesn't either though.
