If you're this far in to anything and are still asking "do I feel it?" the answer is no.

And yeah, sorry, i think either I misunderstood something kewl said or he was wrong but this month is on, obviously, but next month is hiatus

E: drat not fast enough on the draw. Anyway joubin looks hilarious in a baseball hat

He looks like a bigger loser than Joshu most of the time, even though Joshu measures fish sausage. It's impressive.

Well, looks like the plot point we've all seen coming is just around the corner.

ozone baby is what, literally sucking the air out of the room and probably intending to take out everyone on the higashikata estate so now is when Joubin realizes his gofer rear end is getting played and it's time to switch sides and/or sacrifice himself.

He's a poo poo person but he does love his son so the second he realizes they're really willing to hurt tsurugi he'll flip

sure hope no-one throws me off a bridge

Calling it now: Ozone Baby will kill Tsurugi and Jobin will flip to being an ally. Only problem then is: Who's the main villain? Cuz it looked like it was setting up Jobin.


Also we managed to get a whole 72 chapters deep before a dog died.

It's kind of silly the whole reason Joubin has been working with the Rock People is because he wants his family's fruit parlor to be a big deal and more powerful again.

I think Kaato/Joubin can still be major enemies without being aligned with the Rock Humans anymore. Also I love that Joubin isn't really that different from Joshu in the sense that they're both petulant rear end in a top hat man-children.

Jobin constantly bringing up "summer vacation forever" is basically a signal of "he might be the eldest but he's still a complete manchild mentally"

And so it looks like it's power is loving with air pressure/creating vacuums? Given the containers in the garage crumpling, Tsurugi's ears hurting and Jobin's nosebleed.

And that, as much as anything else, led to my drinking problem.
As far as funny Jojo pages go, Joshu's Sausage Statistics is right up there with Doppio's phone call on the plane and That poo poo Ain't Disney.

I honestly thought that was the beginning of the Stand attack. Like poo poo in the house was shrinking, and soon the entire estate would be the size of the house model that Jobin buried.

The last fight involved an eccentric man who lives in a place where you wouldn't normally live. The fight before that involved Josuke being pursued by a powerful stand while Hirose tries to figure out the location of the user. This fight begins with the enemy stand doing something bad to a Higashikata in their own home.

Super Fly, Highway Star, Ozone Baby is Enigma, JoJolion is a retelling of DiU, I have solved it, everyone.

(Nah just kidding, but cool coincidence, huh?)

I mean you can't blame a guy for wanting to make the family name more significant than it should be. We live in a world in which Donald Trump paid money to have someone conjure up a fake family crest for himself

But yeah no the lego in the yard thing is weird and maybe it'd be smart to remember that his family sells fruit and his son's not going to grow up to be a serious hustler just because dad sold fruit a little better than most people.

Jobin was clearly never going to be the big baddy as soon as Kaato appeared. It will either be her and she's a rock human or she'll be an end baddy with a hitherto unseen rock human.

Think I'm going to rearead JoJolion over Christmas break because I forgot so much of it. Also Steel Ball Run because it's the greatest manga.

The evolution of Jobin from "mysterious beetle boy who seems to be running some shady poo poo" to "gofer mortally terrified of sailor hobo" is impressive.
