Josuke Higashikata posted:It wasn't super clear but I think he was probably referring to Urban Guerrila's ability rather than Soft & Wet. nah, he specifically refers to a 'line' is vibrating at a super high speed, making it appear as a sphere as it depicts a picture of a bubble. urban guerilla's ability didn't have anything that would fit that description at all. i think it might be a small hint as to some kind of weird poo poo in the future to be revealed

yeah actually they will posted:I am sorry but you are wrong. On a re-read, yeh. Though it's not like Josuke is known for storing things in the bubbles or anything!! The only thing we know about Holly's stand is that she has one because she can see Paisley Park.

I've just finished chapter 12 of Jojolion and I'm not sure I'm getting into it yet. Maybe my expectations are a bit absurd after SBR, and it's not got the charm of Diamond is Unbreakable. Please advise. I want to love all the Jojos.

It's got really weird pacing up until the Higashikatas get introduced and then it becomes a bit more structured. It still mostly consists of loose ends, though.

It takes a while to kick in though for sure. It really is nothing like DiU at its core, despite sharing lots of elements/names.

Just as I think the mysteries are starting to wrap up... WHELP, here's a new batch of suspicious poo poo! Doctor conspiracy? Sure. Josuke's bubbles are actually string? Sure! Lay it on me! I just hope it all gets resolved in the end. Also, I'd like to see the ice motorcycle maid in action again, she was rad. It may just be that Araki is building this up similar to the mystery of Josuke's origin: lots of hints, several rockpeople who clearly have been involved with past events somehow, a new big mystery (what do the rockmen want to do with the new rokaka?). I wouldn't be surprised if we get another climactic showdown with a simultaneous flashback, explaining why the rockmen attacked Holly (com'oooooon, no way that wasn't Urban Guerilla's doing) and what the connection to the Higashikatas is. And why not, Damo's fight was absolute top-class JoJo in every way. Mysteries solved, rad explosions, body horror, boyfriend murder, torture with 500 yen bills, DAMO. If this part sticks the landing, this is gonna be Top 4 for sure

This is Araki's first mystery type plot, and he's historically not good at remembering details. I expect the ending will be good and emotionally satisfying but there will be things he forgets to resolve by the end.

The villains could definitely have done with significantly more permanence than they've had. All of Damo's crew were interesting sorts on paper but they all got merked and that was that, really. The twins were trash, Aisho didn't get enough screentime either. Yotsuyu was better but he died too soon and Damo delivered perfectly but generally speaking, everyone is a temporary roadblock and only Jobin has been a consistent one and while he's #1 suspect for main villain, he's not exactly waving many flags to declare it. We're definitely getting dots to join things together and probably getting closer to the core mystery but it also feels like we could have another 50 chapters too.

I feel like Part 8 is going to wind up with a lot of wasted potential. The mystery is kind of all over the place and none of the villains are interesting at all. I really liked the twin who had the ability to change what one of his arms was made of by touching something with the other arm, but now I can't remember what their business with Kaera was. Even Caato's mysterious history of justified child murder has been answered so it's def in a weird spot. Still, that doesn't change the cool characters and that the flashback arc was rad so I'm really just like a nicer sunk-cost fallacy at this point, wanting to see how it wraps up. At this point we've learned who murdered Laura Palmer and now we're in this weird Season 2 period where everything's a weird fog until some more wheels get spinning again

As of now, everything that Karera says is actually bullshit and has nothing to suggest she's not making it up and what she does say invalidates the entire reason why what ends up in Josuke's creation had to happen.hatty posted:So is Baby Herman here the same baby that washed up on the beach that Yasuho read about?

I would hedge my bets on prototype Yagiyama at this point. Yagiyama says he was the one who killed you (referring to Josuke as Josefumi) but Yagiyama actually wasn't the person who did it, no one did technically and he wasn't the one fighting Josefumi. It would make sense that person who claims to have killed Josefumi would be the person Josuke remembers first up with a view of the pine/wall eyes. Maybe JoJolion is actually a subtle means of improving the Japanese birthrate by showing that even ugly fat dudes or old man babies can have relationships with models or attractive and successful women.  (Joshu is the outlier in that theory)Also I asked Kewl if the Half Kira, Half Josuke line was a correct translation and it is, so either Araki messed up and wrote Josuke instead of Josefumi or it's a really strange line in general.

Soft and Wet has a weird power creep because it actually has full understanding of string theory as well as tightly compressed orbs of golden rotation and can manipulate all that science mumbo jumbo at will  Seriously though, maybe this is Araki bringing some Spin back into the mix too?

It would make sense that person who claims to have killed Josefumi would be the person Josuke remembers first up with a view of the pine/wall eyes. Yagiyama sounds like a safe bet. Also, I kinda hazily remember Yagiyama finding the injured Apex Brothers, climbing a cliff and looking at Josefumi & Kira some distance away, as they start their rokoka shenanigans - and then the earthquake hits. So he could both conceivably be the person who saw them buried and "die", and the person that newly fused Josuke last remembers. And then Yagiyama does and brags to all the other rockhumans that he actually killed them, when all he did was watch at most. Maybe. Doesn't really matter THAT much. Nice to think of it like that, though. Speaking of rock-induced deaths, what was up with Johnny dying in the earlier flashback, anyhow? He did that whole equivalent exchange thing with the corpse to spare his child from the stone disease. Then, BAM, rock on head. Now what does that boulder have to do with anything? That whole curse of the Higashikatas is still very much relevant, so I guess there's still a good chance of this being cleared up... Maybe. Lots of Maybes. Whatevs. I'll admit I didn't really like JoJolion at the start, especially compared to the phenomenal starting race of Steel Ball Race, but it's really found its groove. I will continue to believe in Araki

I've kinda stop-started with Jojolion a couple of times now. When I read through individual fights or arcs and such I enjoy it but there's something about it that makes me start falling off it. A lot of it is that I really value a good supporting cast and while I think Jojolion has that it just doesn't use them enough, and I think at least reading monthly Araki's style of mystery story doesn't really work for me. I'm planning to just read it all through from the beginning once it has ended, which should hopefully alleviate some of my problems with it but I don't think it'll end up one of my favourite parts.

I wonder of JJL is the new VA and the cast is actually super awesome but the translation hurts them. I mean, it's not as bad obviously, but I do wonder how it would read with a primo translation.

Even with the translation maybe not being perfect I still think the supporting cast comes off as generally likeable and enjoyable. They're just not as important as I want them to be.

Yeah after remembering his origin, Josuke comes to realize that Holly is the only connection he has to his past selves, it's also what Josefumi and Kira lost their lives for so he's taken it upon himself to save her. Remember like one of the first chapters of JoJolion where Josuke comes to realize how alone he is in the world, after a major tragedy like the 2012 earthquakes, no one ever came forward looking for him at a time where everyone is trying to catch up with their loved ones to see if they're alright, so having a connection with someone like Holly is really meaningful for him in ways that Yasuho or Norisuke caring about him can't really fill
