I can't tell if Yasuho's ex boyfriend is gonna be important or not because he looks a little ridiculous but not quite ridiculous enough to be important. I guess Araki could fancy up the outfit a bit more if he becomes a good or bad guy.

Also I hope Jojolion ends with Kars, the leader of the Rock Humans, being defeated by being smothered in money by the Milligro Man.

he just seems like some random rear end in a top hat which of course means he has a Stand and will try to kill Josuke with it

e: or he's going to open an elevator to find half a face stuck to the floor mumbling about how incredibly successful it is

I think Part 5 is when you *really* start figuring how important someone is, is all based on how fabulous they are.

One thing I like about part 4 is that what establishes Kira as evil visually is how distinctly unfabulous he is. He barely even poses.

Kira doesn't need to pose, him being anime David Bowie makes him more fabulous than anyone else in Morioh.

Yeah I really feel like HWMN or really just most translation groups need someone who has an English degree or like, at reads Books to understand how good prose sounds. It's become kind of fun to me try and rewrite some of the more wordy sentences in a more dramatic conversational tone.

I don't want to just dump on HWMN, like I said I'm sure this isnt the worst and I appreciate any JoJo at all, but when even name order isnt in the English order, I really wonder what we're doing here. There was another bit where all the doctors dialogue was written right to left. Not just his speech bubbles but the entire sentence and uhhhh

With what knowledge of the group I have, which is to say some level of privileged knowledge that I don't feel I should share explicitly as to protect those involved, rest assured that a lack of English writing qualifications amongst the group isn't an issue.

It's a matter of sticking to what's already established, being faithful to the text and being obtuse in the face of suggested improvements. I say that with a respect of all involved in the group I think I'm as harsh a critic as they have historically but it's not because I think they're poo poo, it's that it can and should be much better and there's no actual barrier to it being so largely other than being obtuse.

I like how Jotaro got hosed by the Rats as a direct consequence of his character.

An enemy stand shoots Josuke with a weird organic-looking bullet, he goes “ew gross” and deflects it with a frying pan.

An enemy stand shoots scholarly, thoughtful biology student Jotaro with a weird organic-looking bullet, he stops time to dodge it, but then is intrigued by it and decides to just briefly examine it and whoops it’s a horrible dissolving poison that works instantaneously.
I guess Star Platinum should have put on latex gloves to avoid contaminating the specimens, and being contaminated in turn.

Yes! I was so drat impressed with that kid! Seriously he went from being a creepy weirdo to someone willing to sacrifice his own life multiple times.

All that without a stand as well. He's pretty much the MVP of the second half of the part.

that sadness was all hayato's fault. if he had kept his mouth shut and loved his new dad like his mom dad, the kawajiris could be a happy family.

honestly hayato having seen a man with his father's face murder two people and then having to live in silence for his entire life never knowing if he or his mom is next is a worse fate than like, angelo tbh

Anyone remember where Bruno says that Mista would kill anyone who would try to rape him in prison. In his flashback? The translations and the originals use slurs to describe the rapists which give the impression that Mista is homophobic and would just kill a gay guy on sight. Curious how CR will handle that

i'm pretty sure in the newer translation at least bruno just says he's sure mista would kill "a gay man" in prison, no slurs. which is still a weird thing to say and i know it was like 2000 but i half-doubt davidpro would keep the line, and doubt-even-more that crunchyroll subs would use slurs in that context

It just occurred to me, if Avdol is a fortune teller, but his stand is just a dumb Blaziken chicken that shoots ankh-shaped fire, is he just a huckster who has no actual oracular power? He just happens to hang out with an actual fortune teller who only uses his power to take lewd pictures of his grandfather’s bod.

Just because we don't see Avdol lusting after his grandpa, doesn't mean he doesn't.
