I hope Dragon Ball Fighter Z is an insane success for Arc System Works and they go on to do many more licenced 3v3 fighters and jojo is next on the list. Imagine a game with all the nice fanservicey moments of ASB wrapped up in a good game!

I want a "just put all of the assets we created into one game" MvC2 style Jump All Stars game.

Also I can't believe Fugo just punks out for the rest of part 5. I understand his stand makes it hard to write battles, but he just goes "nah I'm out" and we never see him again except for Sleeping Slaves.

He was gonna return as a traitor but the idea made Araki too sad so he scrapped it.

We do get more of him (albeit non-canonically) in Purple Haze Feedback.

The best bit is when he's on an airplane and it looks like he's holding an actual phone, but no, it's a toy phone he borrowed from a toddler.

I really liked that. It lent some weight to how big a deal it actually was to go against the boss.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

It's a light novel that tells a story about Fugo after Part 5's conclusion.

I know how bad Non Canon Light Novel must sound, but it's actually pretty solid and the writer does a surprisingly good job at conveying Stand battles through text. There's translated pdfs out there of out that I reccomend tracking down, it's worth your time imo

like the novel's opening quote is a Rage Against The Machine lyric so it's pretty good

It was a light novel written for I think Jojo's 20th anniversary about Fugo after part 5. Where he goes on an adventure to destroy the remnants of Diavolo's drug trade so he can join Giorno's new mafia. It's not written by Araki (and so probably isn't canon) but he does the illustrations and it's quite a good read. It has some excellent stands as well as some cool expansion of a few things from part 5.

There's an English translation of it somewhere on the Internet and now that part 5 has gotten a better translation I almost feel like re-reading it since although it's a cool story for Fugo it also goes into what the Mafia is like now with Giorno in charge and that's something I feel adds to part 5's ending a little.

Hey, thanks for all the love, everyone. I'm glad to see everyone finding a newfound appreciation for Vento Aureo.

Okuyasu Nijimura posted:

sleeping slaves/ rolling stone is indeed nice and even poignant like I've said all along!!!!

Though i think if you didn't already like it you're probably never gonna, which is okay, but i am glad it ends that way

E: and yeah Dan I'm so glad i finally get GER, that confused me way more than king crimson for years actually

I actually do like Sleeping Slaves a lot more than I did before. Back in the days of the bad translation, it just felt like a confusing side story tacked on to the end of Vento Aureo, and I couldn't really justify why it existed at all. With the new translation, I think it'll be a lot easier for readers to see how the epilogue ties in with the overall conclusion of Part 5.

I skipped it initially because I just wanted to get to part 6 and I don't really regret doing so, since the parts are all self-contained. No reason to skip it entirely though, since it's still some pretty good fun. It took me a long while to warm up to any of the characters though, and as soon as I started to they all died. One of these days I should give it another shot though since I wasn't aware of just how bad the old translation was.
