Of all the people whose copyrights have been infringed in JoJo, Robert Fripp is the one who I expected to be most mad about it and he's actually one of the chillest.  I mean sure he doesn't let people use it in game or whatever, but still.

So I have read/watched 5 parts of JoJo now (1, 2, 3, 4, 7) and every time I feel like it ends abruptly. I suppose having a few old characters at the start of every part eases you into it but the ending of Part 7 was basically the frozen screen and caption from old movies. "Then Johnny went to Italy and did some things, THE END" and 'Don't You Forget About Me' plays

Yeah that's true for every part, Araki doesn't really do denouements. The longest one is probably part 4 and that's not even a whole chapter of wrap-up. I think it's mostly because the parts usually lead into each other, so it would be weird to spend time saying goodbye to characters who are gonna show up later anyway.

That works for some of it but it still feels like he writes weak denouements because there's a lot of the cast you don't see again and even the ones you do are often after a huge period of time. I just got to the Purple Haze/Man in the Mirror fight and I suspect PH will be having as many fights as The Hand did tbh.

To be fair to part 7 only like 4 named characters actually survive, so there doesn't need to be that much of a denouement.

Sounds like someone doesn't remember Lesson #5: Pay Your Respects I think Johnny fighting to take the coffin of his best friend on the boat under the threat of violence, even doing Gyro's "Nyohoho" and then looking out the sea as he reflects on big moments of the race and then looking at a Steel Ball and saying "Home....let's go home" and leaving behind his lovely dad is the best way to end Part 7. It's like the ending of Part 1 down to boarding a boat with a loved one except no head vampires. Like it comes at you fast, but the boat ending owns

The race is over, Johnny learned how to walk both literally and metaphorically, and he's heading to Italy to lay his best buddy to rest. Part 7 begins with the registration of the Steel Ball Run and ends like a few days after the race finishes with the participants returning home. That feels appropriate to me. And it even has the neat callback to chapter 2 with Johnny's whole "this is the story of how I learned to walk" spiel. I like it a lot.

So a while back there were these Jojo / Disney song crossover videos posted. Well someone/s went head and translation all of the heroes' songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D-TWiaDePg There's also the villains' songs, but only a few of those are translated in these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v5w-_Hl_zg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=danWTCm47UY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UVKKIFQHJg

If any of the parts deserve to end like an old movie, though, it'd be the western.

Considering I haven't read all of 5 or any of 6 SBR definitely has the best ending I read so far. I actually would have preferred it if it just ended on Johnny saying "let's go home" but I found the final few 'several years' later panels distracting and out of place. Also like my pal Moltrey said the boat scene really rushes up on you. Part 4's ending blasted past so fast that you never really got a proper goodbye with the characters other than a quick shot of each one in the final couple of minutes. Considering only Koichi and a mention of Jotaro reappear in Part 5 I don't think it really takes the abruptness out of the end of Part 4. e: Grateful Dead looks creepy as hell, it's great.

I know there is a Stand called King Crimson coming up and Moltrey alluded in the Part 4 Anime Thread that it might be the only Stand that can punch harder than Star Platinum. My prediction is that the strength of its punches are conditional. Something like the more damage it takes the more damage it can deal or perhaps when it throws a punch no matter how much hard it threw it the punch only stops moving forwards when King Crimson asks it to. e: Is the middle bottom panel correct? http://img.bato.to/comics/2016/07/18/j/read578d36e09d628/img000010.png EmmyOk fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Jan 25, 2017 |

If it is I wish it wasnt. Like I guess the idea is that he'd kill someone if they tried to sexually assault him, but it just sounds like Mista is super homophobic which is wild when Mista is part of a a gang made entirely of twinks

It's a slow zombie that takes an eternity to get close to you and they do next to nothing to solve it. This single JoJo chapter alone had more creative ways at dealing with the slow, nonthreatening zombie than the entire movie and the climax was atrocious. Just floating around in a swimming pool while your mates hang around with electronics. - JH

Okay so Trish was kidnapped from the elevator and it looks like whatever King Crimson can do it's not what either of my predictions were. On the other hand I'm not sure it is the Boss and his Stand at all considering there is one more member of the assassins out there.

I could tell you what King Crimson does, but it'd be a long rambling discussion that would be incredibly disheartening for both of us, so let's just skip the explanation and pretend it happened anyway.

Mulva posted:I could tell you what King Crimson does, but it'd be a long rambling discussion that would be incredibly disheartening for both of us, so let's just skip the explanation and pretend it happened anyway. lmao Okay so based on what happened in the chapters and how it was explained it is something like this. People effectively get skipped 10 seconds into the future but they have no memory of what happend during that 10 seconds and the only person who can experience that ten seconds normally is King Crimson and The Boss. Furthermore in that ten seconds people don't actually do anything instead a forecast of everything that would happen is ran and that is how King Crimson moves around them. So instead of for example having to dodge a bullet fired at him he would see the path the bullet would have moved along in that ten seconds. After the time skip I am guessing people are where they are at the end of the forecast. e.g. Usain Bolt if hit with KC at the start of the race would be finished the race with no clue about what happened
