I was legit impressed about the boat detail (and made a dumb post about it) but then now you mention it they wouldn't have been able to start the 'second' boat with that key would've they? Also is Sprite not a thing in some countries or did a translator just not know what the hell it was?

I think Zipper Man got it's start in All Star Battle. I'm really interested in seeing how they handle some of the stuff in part 6 if/when they get to it, especially towards the end. Disney in particular might have a few things to say about Where The gently caress Is Mickey.

dogsicle posted:so they drove off in Lagoon 2 after the yacht guy gave them a key labeled 1. was this addressed in the manga when the ship-in-a-ship thing was revealed? it seems like a way to hint at something being up immediately but also if 2 is wrapped around 1 then why did the key for 1 work? The gang drove off in Lagoon 1. It has Lagoon 2 written on the outside because Zucchero deflated Lagoon 2 and wrapped it around Lagoon 1 with his Soft Machine. E: The reason the key works is because the gang sticks the key in the key slot for Lagoon 1. Whenever they enter the interior of the ship, they pass through the thin layer of Lagoon 2 around the outside without realizing it.

 I wonder if any of these teams will show up later in the story. Perhaps the squadra esecuzioni, which has unique silhouettes while everyone else has generic ones? Also for some reason, the squadra guardie del corpo seems to have the silhouettes of Abbacchio on the left and Mista on the right, under someone who might be Pericolo as the capo, even though they're not given the mission until after The Sex Pistols' Debut.

JoJo has always been weird. but nah I kinda get what you mean. im not surprised that the favorite part of anime watchers is Part 2, the one with the most typical set up with a (realtively) lighter glazing of weird designs and ideas. I don't mean for this to sound snobby, but I also don't think it's a coincidence that Part 2 also happens to be my least favorite. I've come to terms that JoJo is honestly kind of a sloppy story, one that I could totally see why it would loses people, hell I know people that just think everything about it is gross and stupid but it's one that really jumped out to me when I was kind of burnt on shonen stories and that it's just fun to experience cause it's having doing it's dumb poo poo

Right, I know JoJo is obviously incredibly weird (Part 8 anime eventually is going to be...a thing) but I can see a whole bunch of people being very put off by Stone Ocean. Especially the ending. But at least then Steel Ball Run will happened and gently caress I can't wait for a Steel Ball Run anime.

Part 6 is prob my favourite but I can see why it might not be so popular, what with the main plot being driven by complete nonsense. I really hope people won't be too bothered by it though because the characters are pretty cool and the stand fights get completely bonkers and I love that.

I feel like people dislike the new season every single time because it's not like the previous one, and take a while to warm up to it, and part 6 will be no different. It's the most bizarre part, but I don't think anything other than the ending is THAT out there in terms of the writing, it's just on a bigger scale since the whole idea of punch ghosts kinda goes out the window so often in that part. Thinking about it, a lot of the stands remind me more of stuff you'd see out of the Rohan stories, or Dead Man's Tales, where it was less about one specific power and more like a giant area just being hosed up in general.

Heavy Weather is undeniably the asspulliest asspull in the whole series (maybe excepting if something happens in Part 8 that I haven't read yet) and I can't wait for the reaction to the explanation for it

to be FAIR everytime Weather does anything, it's some incredibly overpowered bullshit, making cloud suits, able to punch a dude so hard, the mere friction from clouds causes them to combust, being able to summon a tornado to pick up and drop incredibly poisonous frogs etc, so Awakened Weather has to be able to do absolutely insane stuff Araki made Storm look weak as poo poo

Ok so let me start off by defining 3 important things that I notice come up time and time again within Jojo We have Fate, we have Time, and we have Life. Life is how much a person is actually alive. This is their soul, their life force, and the major sources of combat throughout the series, be it stand powers, spin, or ripple, all have some major tie back to life. Recall that the ripple is a sun-powered martial art designed around defeating the undead by healing them back to a death state. It is the idea that the body naturally stores the life-giving energy of the sun and through special breathing you can then tap into that energy and allow yourself to heal wounds, to grow plants, to transfer life energy and power to another person, even the ability to see into the future and see what one's own fate will be. Also note that spin is a method of medicinal healing as well as a form of execution, the ultimate form of which is through rapid aging. In other words, the ultimate form of execution through spin is to cause someone to rapidly die of natural causes. Stands, meanwhile, are direct representations of a person's soul, with stands existing as a less healing-adjacent power. Stands have shown that they are more than capable of aiding in health, be it Jotaro using his stand to pump hearts in order to help revive Joseph, Josuke using Crazy Diamond to fix things, Giorno Giovanna's Gold Experience being capable of granting life to inanimate objects, or Jolyne's use of her stand as a means of stitching herself back together. There are plenty of other examples of stands that can perform some manner of healing, but my point is less that stands have been used to heal as much as my point is that stands, ripple, and spin are all directly connected to life in some fashion, with spin and ripple representing a particular kind of physical action that a person can perform to tap into that life energy while stands are actual representations of the soul and, through that connection, are influenced by and transfer the damage taken to their user (except in the cases where they don't, but those have always been treated as outlier cases). Time is time. Time keeps on moving. A year goes by really quickly and honestly I could just link the picture of the zybourne clock timeline and it'd sum up this section pretty well but the thing that everyone needs to realize is that there is the Actual Timeline and the Experienced Timeline. To use Groundhog Day as a reference, the Actual Timeline is the time that we experience, the film itself, its runtime, where we are only shown what is happening. The Experienced Timeline however is the knowledge that we have only seen a portion of the time that the main character spent in a time loop. We are given several hints showing just how long he has been stuck in this loop, but we the audience thankfully do not need to sit through decades of days of Bill Murray learning to play an instrument and learning entire languages. The last thing to define is Fate. Fate is a far more fluid and semi-controllable force than Time, but Fate is actually more powerful. The best way to think of Fate is to imagine a video. The video will always be running forward in time and even if you choose to speed the video up, rewind the video, loop a portion of the video, or pause the video, that video will always have a definitive start point and end point. Fate is everything from that start point to that end point. No matter what actions you take once the video starts, there will eventually be an ending point to that video. Now I don't want to delve into any specific part just yet because I want to leave things at just discussing the above 3 components that are integral to Araki's work. Within Jojo, there exists Life in the form of its cast and their abilities and their struggles to continue to live in some fashion, there exists Time as the amount of time that passes within the manga/anime itself, and then there is Fate which isn't something we can always know and is generally only revealed to the audience as a stinger of some kind. Fate determines how long a life will last, but that length can be extended or shortened and Fate does not care since Fate knows it will all work out in the end so Fate's chill like that, whereas Time is far more restrictive and short having some kind of power that manipulates Time, Time is going to just keep marching forward. What I'm trying to get at here is that within all 8 parts of Jojo so far, there has been Time (the adventure itself), there has been Life (The people who are participating in the adventure), and Fate (the events that happen along the way). Lives may be snuffed out, Time may stop, but Fate will always march on. The reason I needed to define those 3 points is because they are very important in explaining my opinion that each part of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure touches upon the idea that no matter how powerful you are, you cannot bring the dead back to life without there being some kind of major, likely negative change. I'll discuss more next time when I'm not about to pass out from exhaustion. For the next post, if I do one, I would like to present how Phantom Blood as a story plays with the ideas of fate to lay the groundwork for future parts.

6 isn't bad, but it's very...dense...and the Stand fights get too all over the place. One of the very first Stand fights is a whole fakeout that invalidates the fight that came before, and that's just the start of the ridiculousness. 5 is the best balance of fabulous, insane Stand fights, and sassy people. 4 just has a more fun main group. In the end, in the original continuity, I'd say 4 and 5 will be peoples favorites.
