e: Heres a weird website I just found. The way I think its supposed to be said would be the "Italian Pronunciation" and the way I always said it before was the 8th English Pronunciation (USA)

http://www.pronouncekiwi.com/Narancia%20Ghirga

In "ca", "co", "cu", "che" and "chi" the c is "hard", as in cat.
In "cia", "cio", "ciu", "ce" and "ci" the c is "soft", as the ch in "chip".
In "ga", "go", "gu", "ghe" and "ghi" the g is "hard", as in get.
In "gia", "gio", "giu", "ge" and "gi" the g is "soft", as the j in jump

Doppio's phone call running gag is the best in the series

Doppio on the airplane and seemingly talking on a real phone, only for the reveal that it's a toy phone he borrowed from a toddler is the best visual punchline I've seen in awhile tbh.

Agreed on Doppio's telephone shenanigans being the best running gag.

Also King Crimson vs Metallica will be amazing just for that moment where Doppio's eyes roll back and reveal Diavolo's hosed up broken pupils.

Really excited to see a bunch of the minor villain fights too. Like Narancia escalating the poo poo of a situation fighting Formaggio.

i think in the former's case araki read way too much about multiple personalities in regards to criminal studies and in the latter's case he watched a.i.: artificial intelligence and thought the scene of the mom imprinting on her weird robot child was the coolest goddamn thing ever

so yes, to both

Diavolo and Doppio is more a Fortean phenomenon than straight up magic (there's a handwave about how there's totally a recorded case of MPD causing changes in physical appearance from 18th century Germany or something). The Green Baby ritual isn't really explained at all in the manga, although the Over Heaven LN makes a valiant attempt.

Diavolo was straight-up an immaculate conception so the weird poo poo doesn't start at the Doppio/Diavolo dichotomy.

I've watched enough anime to be able to accept.....let's say dramatic depictions of DID but Doppio takes his sweater off and grows sixteen inches, loses his freckles and changes hair color, it's bonkers! Even if I could just say it's a split personality thing, it keeps doubling down on the Two Souls idea through Silver Chariot Requiem iirc and it's soul business and turning people into monsters or whatever.

JoJo gets violently surreal after Part 4 i tell ya

Diavolo's orgin works for me because it's like, intentionally bad and full of holes. Like that doesn't make it good, and I think having Diavolo come right after someone like Kira really makes Diavolo look lamer somehow, but having this story that Araki himself goes "Yeah that don't make sense based on what we know, but it's not like any of us were there so oh well!" surpresses my :goonsay: brain

The result of Diavolo's what the gently caress backstory is that we really don't get much to his whole deal beyond "is really arrogant" (so, a Jojo villain) and "is paranoid to a comical extent".

It really does work best if you work backwards from "Diavolo is the inverse of Dio" so just think about what we know of Dio and Diavolo and apply to opposite.

the movie came out in 2001 and stone ocean didn't finish up until like 2003 so i honestly 100% believe he caught the most recent spielberg flick and thought 'wow i can put this in jojo' and that's why there's a goddamn plant baby getting told random words so that they would bond with a person

That also means Araki referenced two separate Hayley Joel Osment movies in the same part.

Also refreshing myself that Stone Ocean was only at Jail House Lock at the end of 2001 basically confirms the timeframe for the A.I. reference.

While the movie is 2 years old at the point it was spoiled in the series. Lets remember the series was taking place in a prison and there was no way those girls watching it would have been able to see it else were.

Nobody is saying that Jolyne didn't spoil it in-universe, that was what the scene was. We're talking about the "Araki Said" claim that the series spoiled Sixth Sense for the readers in the real world because the movie hadn't come out in Japan yet, which it had.

Jotaro promised Jolyne that they'd see Sixth Sense when he got back from Morioh.

When he finally came back in 2001, he took her to a local showing of Flipper instead.
