If you don't think the universe would have one last laugh at "the great" Kishibe Rohan by leaving his crap stained pants behind, I dunno what to say.


It's okay, because he finally will be the second person to achieve the title of Japanese Kuso Manga Boy, right after my idol and hero bkub

The only way this could be more perfect is if for next week we get a Bites the Dust intro and the episode ends with Josuke and Kira about to face off (they'd probably have to skip the ED to fit it all in but it would absolutely be worth it)

Finished re-reading Bites The Dust and fuuuuuck this is gonna be so GOOD

Special shoutouts to this panel, even though I don't really care for Hayato, this rules. Kinda wish they could use it for a cliffhanger, but it's in Chapter 6 of 9



Condiv posted:

Everything about those lines own. Goddamn I love jojo and araki so much

Was about to make the exact same post when I saw that panel. Hayato is so desperate and out of his depth and the narration really sells it, it's legit great prose.

I love how they depicted BTD in today's episode, from the little "diving" effect when the arrow hit Kira the second time to Hayato's scream at the end. They basically lifted that straight from ASB and for good reason.

HE IS IRONICALLY PEDANTIC ABOUT TRANSLATIONS!

Ghiaccio is loving screaming every day in the afterlife about being so shamefully misrepresented by bad translations


Better Vento translations have caused me to knock Nero out of 1st place for Vento villains and slot Ghiaccio in instead. It probably says something about my personality in general if I have that kind of affinity for someone who is that much of a prick

Same. Ghiaccio is the best, and part 5 has a lot of great villains. But Ghiaccio is the only one who randomly starts smashing his steering wheel because he's mad about idioms.

KNEEL BEFORE THE WICKED KING!
Nero is still my number 1 with the Good Translations (it helps that Metallica vs King Crimson is fantastic in part because Nero is so cool in it), but Ghiaccio definitely jumped to 2nd over Prosciutto. The Assassination Squad in general are kind of a great group of antagonists and it's a really cool touch how they're all good at their jobs implicitly because of their Stands. Most things that do that have them be allegedly good assassins who also have unrelated gimmicks, so have them be intrinsically connected was a cool surprise.

Shame it doesn't help Melone be above the bottom tier of Cool Bad Guys though.

Improbable Lobster posted:

1) DIO is very bi, with Araki confirming that he would go for either men or women
2) Jolyne hints at maybe liking girls, if only not really coming to that realization yet. Hermes is a lesbian, full stop.
3) You'd THINK that Giorno would be very gay but he's probably way too focused on his dream/work in general to even care about that poo poo
4) MAYBE Rohan??
5) Gyro and Johnny probably aren't meant to be a couple, but I don't care, they're dating, they are practically married, gently caress the yuo
6) Speedwagon had a crush on Jonathan and i really do not see where it's coming from that he was in love with Erina but held back because of Honor. It doesn't make sense?? Robert Edward O. Speedwagon would die for that man.

Improbable Lobster posted:

To be fair, DIO being shirtless is his casual lounge wear.

I do think he's being sincere about being afraid of losing Pucci, though.

Speedwagon is 100% gay for JoJo and Dio Brando had a crush on JoJo too. Unlike Speedwagon though, Dio's crush made him angry and obsessive rather than devoted and obsessive. Someone could probably write something very interesting about the difference between Dio and DIO and how it relates to him possessing JoJo's body and his sexual inhibitions. I'm too tired to try though.

I think his temperament and...Rohan-weirdness is supposed to be similar to Michaelangelo's (Araki didn't actually say that, but Rohan reminds me of him) so you are correct.
