I think it got teased at some point recently. I think its related to getting a stand? By recently I mean like, within the last 12 chapters which is a years worth of content.

I think we thought it was one of the new rock humans who had no limbs but pronounced teeth or something? but no that seemed to be dropped

I'm still guessing the Wall Eyes were caused by the body of Jesus being there in the past, but I'd really like some going back to that

It's Dio's severed and Jesus-infused head travelling through the earth granting stands to create a perfect body to take over, but his brief successes always rotted away, so now he's asking his rock buddies to perfect equivalent exchange so that he can meld with Johnny's preserved headless body and earn the ultimate stand, Tusk

Going by page count, from when the main cast first begins fighting the main villain (the part that confuses everyone) to the end of Part 7 is slightly longer than the entirety of part 2.

This is from the Part 5 Thread


When you say the part that confuses everyone, are you talking about starting from Who Shot Johnny Joestar? Isnt there all the Wekapipo and Magenta Magenta stuff to go through before the train fight starts?

Yeah, starting from Who Shot Johnny Joestar. I think the magenta magenta stuff starts before then? Since Wekapipo dies during the Johnny confusion. Technically Gyro does fight the weird grid guy during Who Shot Johnny Joestar, but it's pretty intertwined with that fight. I might be remembering wrong, but I recall it going Who Shot Johnny > Love Train > Philadelphia Coastline > Alt Universe Diego.

My original point is still a little facetious, since the Alt Universe Diego is counted in that page count, but it still fits in the context of "the climax of part 7"

JoJolion is already the second longest part and it's probably going to overtake SBR by the end. It's probably already not far behind.

randomly thinking about pucci saying "if this snail touches my arm.....i have to kill my brother" and god i love this series, warts and all. things like that, giorno's face inexplicably unzipping or watching diego eat rocks are these otherworldly moments of tension and drama that truly couldn't happen anywhere else and it really feels like araki is having a ball every time he sits down to make it.

I love those bits because in the hands of another mangaka, JoJo would be a comedy where everyone freaks out overdramatically over all the kooky Stand abilities. But Araki just has everyone talk about what's going on completely deadpan and serious, and no one ever lingers on why so many Stands have such unusual or specific abilities, they just focus on how to counter it.

an early line in part 5 is how gangsters blend in pretty well and then it pans to this gaggle of brightly-colored dinguses who look like they ran through a rack of clothing while being chased

and it's just how it is in araki's world

Its so great. Like there's the conversation in this first episode, Bruno just walks up to Giorno and just starts asking him random questions, and Giorno just indulges him, no like "what the hell why are you asking me that", he just starts answering earnestly.

Its one of the best parts of JoJo, everyone just kind of Goes With It, at least the stand users do.

My fav is when Jolyne thinks she sees Jotaro after she's been arrested, but it's just some lovely dude wearing exactly his outfit, implying Jotaro's fashion isn't weird in JoJo and some people do dress like that

Yeah the fact that funny things are happening, but no one is commenting on how funny or weird it is perfect. JoJo taking itself seriously when a man gets his sweat licked is what makes me care about any of it.

It's great because pretty much everyone in the franchise seems to function on this same mental wavelength, at least the Stand Users, and they just give no shits about what's going on, what kind of weird things they see, or what odd things come out of a person's mouth. Like Yoshikage Kira randomly goes on a rant about hating going to the gym because men touch everything with their gross sweaty hands. But the guy he's rambling to (was it Koichi?) just kind of stands there and lets him talk and doesn't even acknowledge the whole speech.
