the only problem with the theory is that he doesn't tell people how much he loves weed constantly or how unaddicted he is to it while being unable to go without it

That's because he doesn't smoke weed.

The Grateful Dead is a really good fight, maybe one of Araki's best. The cast of VA may look like overdesigned gimps but they really can Stand Battle.

The moment when Pesci goes from bumbling comic relief to one of the most hardcore and determined of all JJBA side villains is amazing.

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

Not the first time araki has changed a power partway through something or messed around with what a power does. Especially in part 5.


There was that whole It Follows bit of jojolion where at one point Gappy got grabbed but he was fine and then later the baby grabbed the same spot and he wasn't fine. Part 5 had Black Sabbath stabbing Gold Experience with the arrow and no requiem stuff happened. Who knows what the gently caress was happening with who shot johnny joestar. Rohan is unable to use heaven's door on himself unless on accident through a situation where he is using it on something that is siphoning off of him/acting like a parasite to him, yet he still uses it on himself during rohan at the louvre.

Though remind me, what is it about a woman being affected in the first chapter that shows that jojo is bs?

the reason prosciutto was using greatful dead indiscriminately on the express was because he knew it would affect women at a slower rate than men and that's why trish was relatively unaffected.

remember when rohan said heaven's door only worked on people who were "compatible" with his manga and then he used it on that chicken leg

If a baby has a stronger will than a grown woman, a chicken leg can appreciate manga.

Rohan's hatred for that shitbag Josuke is so pure. I love in the RPS Kid episode when he sits down he thinks "ah it's Koichi, some girl, Okuyasu, and that shitbag Josuke". I am glad the Lourve retconned Rohan into developing Heaven's Door from insane dedication to art as opposed to the arrow because that made much less sense.

Since it is jojo canon that birds can have souls and powerful wills i will absolutely accept that rohan could use heaven's door on that chicken leg because it came from a chicken that had the potential to appreciate the subtleties and thematic consistency of pink dark boy.

I like how the narration box after highway star reads "afterward, josuke tried to become friends with rohan, but rohan decided that he hated josuke even more instead"

My favorite interpretation of the retcon and the chicken leg is that it's just Rohan making up poo poo to :jerkbag: his ego.

It's also hilarious to me that Josuke has so many people with a grudge against him, a sharp contrast to Good Boy Koichi.

For all the crazy poo poo that comes afterwards, Pesci is still probably the highlight of Part 5.

I like that yukako is present in that scene for no real reason other than to show that she and Josuke are at least making an effort to get along

it's entirely possible rohan didn't know poo poo about his stand and hadn't really used it extensively on people

Or it just kept growing. I guess you could use the excuse that stands can develop and change along with their user as an excuse for some of the inconsistent powers.

That's what Araki said the development/potential stat was for and he retroactively gave Hebunz Dooah an A on that

All stats but range are meaningless.

Rohan at the Louvre contradicts this, he uses Heaven's Door when he's a teen and has clearly had it for a while and knows what it does.

A Jojo's character is initially revealed:

"I cannot believe what a scruffy, unappealing little imp this character is, and their 'rear end-tie' accessory is the lamest loving thing. Araki has finally lost his mind."

Three to ten chapters and one striptease and/or attempted murder later:

"I am deeply attracted to this beautiful imp, and I am deeply disappointed rear end-ties aren't sold in stores in my country."
