The hard turn I made from the introduction of Sex Pistols to "ugh, Hol Horse again" to "Mista would murder the poo poo out of Hol Horse, the guys rule" was great

Even Diegos World owns.

Like remember when Diego's version of the knives is sending lit matches through the stopped time and then Tusk Chumimin~s it's way through stopped time?

Owns

my fav part is right after johnny has figured out what the world does and is like "alright i have to stay focused, i can't perceive what he does while time has stopped so I can't take my eyes off of him for a single second, even the smallest change could why do i smell like gasoline"

That's definitely a form of horror that Araki tends to fall back on, but I think SBR is one part where it's actually warranted. The lead character is a paraplegic in a long distance race, and Jesus cameos as a series of immobile body parts being carried about higgledy piggledy by the greedy and righteous alike.

I won't argue that it isn't overwrought at times, but at the same time, being helpless and at the mercy is much more of a thing in SBR than it is in other parts.

also the body horror is put to good use in some interesting fights, like the one where Everything Is Grenades

“Gebo! Geboh!!”
If only there were English onomatopoeias for coughing the translator could use...

Anyway lovely translation decisions aside, that was certainly a chapter of Jojolion. Did Mitsuba just awaken to her stand? Or did she have it before? I can’t really tell. Interesting that its name doesn’t fit the Higashikata stand name theming, though. She’s not part of the family by blood so it makes sense, but her name is part of the same card theming as the other family members so I expected the word King to be in there somewhere.

The last page raises some questions. Have Mitsuba’s skin and teeth issues been Wu’s stand all along? It would make sense, but if that’s the case and he can just remove his bits from the part he’s affecting, where does the equivalent exchange come in?

Awaking III Leaves is probably some local band that Araki caught by chance and this is him showing support.

But People have fears that beasts do not. Questions, too.
I tried (and failed) to explain the JoJo Golden Wind anime to my wife. She finds the concept fascinating and the character designs intriguing, but doesn't get it, which is fine. She did, however, ruin Bucciarati for me forever by saying he looks like he could be cosplayed by Noel Fielding.

I can see it, but he could just as easily be a Stand of some kind.

Mitsuba is about to NUT:
Neutralize
Uu
Tomoki

I can’t find any song with a title that’s some variation of “Awaking III Leaves,” so I’m gonna go ahead and assume Araki just picked a word with “king” in it then put the English translation of her name.

Every time I close my eyes on Thursday, I wake up on Friday feeling so horny for more JoJo.


(Hey should I catch up to Jojolion? I stopped reading around where the guy who lives out of a broken ski lift teaches them how to make tiramisu in such intricate detail that anyone reading is fully equipped to make it themselves.
It was good, I just felt like I’d wait a while to read it in a big chunk. From all the redacted text in seeing, I take it I should totally catch up?)

I would probably wait until next month cause I feel like the current fight is going to wrap up next chapter and that seems like a better chunk to read.

Mitsuba means three leaves in Japanese, but yeah her name is also a reference to the club suit, like Daiya, Tsurugi, and Hato.
