I just finished reading Part 7 and I'm already praying for it to be animated even if it's only like twenty years from now.

Finally catching up with JJL and I guess Araki saw It Follows, huh?

Yeah, he probably did since he likes horror, and figured he'd revisit his Highway Star fight again in a more extended way.

Oh yeah, didn't even think about that. I guess it'd make sense for him to do that after having a great deal of the enemy Tarot Stands being fashioned after classic movie monsters.

That post went quite well, I think.
Newest One Piece chapter features Young Joseph Joestar as a Big Mom commander who flicks jelly beans at people and predicts their next line.

Damn it, why it does need to remain only four bullets!?
It's been a long time since the last update, but finally, three new chapters are out on Batoto, which concludes Volume 61. Today, we have A Story of the Recent Past, His Name is Diavolo - Part 2, and What Lies Beyond the Arrow. Enjoy.

Personal thoughts:
-It's sad to see Buccellati realizing he's about to die and willing his house to Trish. And he never gets to say that to the real Trish, either.
-"Move slowly, like you're lifting your skirt" What the hell, Polnareff?
-Polnareff, by his own admission, is no longer capable of fighting, yet he manages to land a hit on Diavolo fair and square. loving badass.

Josuke is an honest boy. Except when intentionally lying to try to save his friend Koichi. Or trying to swindle Rohan.

Hey I just finished watching the Part 4 anime.

What's up with the Josuke that pushes Josuke's mom's car out of the snow? I was expecting Bites the Dust to circle around into that at some point and.... nothing. Does that come up in part5/part6 at all or is it just a really weird thing that happened and then was forgotten about?

It wasn't Josuke. He's just a nice person with excellent hair, who's kindness and excellent hair lead Josuke to model himself after him.

i love how much we're all thrown off and in disbelief of what feels like an unfired Chekov's Gun and just inherently distrustful of Josuke when he says "Some guy that was cool so I stole his look"

I can see it feeling weird, but also it just being a literal rando ties much better into the theme of A Town With A Golden Heart that Joseph talks about at the end. Morioh is a chill town full of good people, even if they have to be coerced with fists in the end, and Josuke and friends are the next generation of those gold hearted citizens, taking the place of the mysterious stranger, paying it forward and all that

It presents itself as a really obvious piece of foreshadowing, but it leading to nothing ends up being more satisfying. Araki isn't the kind to leave hooks like that anyway. Remember the Runaway Girl that just stopped showing up with no fanfare?

No it doesn't. Dude doesn't even have any of the bling or accessories the Josuke had (or any at all). People just assumed it was some kind of time poo poo because a had Josuke's haircut which is a really stupid conclusion to make when the entire story is "Josuke has this haircut and style to mimic this cool guy." Yeah no of course they'll look the same.

Dude has the collar badges and stuff


And the fact that he immediately knows Josuke is sick and he's all bloody and stuff just reads like a final battle time travel thing but poo poo. Weird.

The main evidence against it is that it's never brought up again or address ever in the series and Araki has never said that the character was going to be time travel related in any interviews.

In the anime, it's really obvious it's a different badge on his collar, imgur wont let me post a screenshot right now but trust me It's a weird three line emblem versus Josuke's distinctive heart and anchor

e: actually you can totally see it in your screenshot holy poo poo. Third panel, I don't think we ever see Josuke switch out his heart and anchor for that so there's no way Araki planned for that to be Actually Josuke unless he was tossing around Alternate Universe Josuke around in his head but lmao

He doesn't have any of the heart/peace symbol pins. The stuff that's on there just comes with the jacket collar.

It is weird that he has the poo poo beat out of him already for unknown reasons, but this kind of flashback happens again in part 5, so :shrug:

And in the interview where he talks a bit about Kira, the random dude is mentioned...as a random dude and not an abandoned "this was supposed to be future Josuke" plot point.
