Momomo posted:Considering part 5 has absolutely nothing to do with part 6 at all you pretty much skipped it for nothing I know that, but i was also aware that part 7 was a reboot because the power creep in part 6 got out of hand so i decided to skip to that rather than dropping it entirely. It was a good decision since i liked part 7 and 8 except for Love Train.

All i knew (and still know) is that the universe is ended somehow by Pucci. Coming off of Gold Experience Requiem i wasn't interested in that. But in the end Part 7 ended with a bad guy who just stands there with an invincible stand who is then killed over and over in a time loop like Diavolo so joke's on me i guess.

Expect My Mom posted:i think i know what you mean but power creep is the one thing JoJo never has I'd say late part 6 suffers from power creep a bit (mainly Dio's sons, Heavy Weather, and Made in Heaven), but araki ended it right before it went totally out of control. They're still all great fights (with the series still not suffering from the usual long term consequences of power creep)

the stakes get higher in part 6 but it's really, definitely not like people jumping to a new super saiyan level and having to constantly play a game of catch-up to be competitive. i'm not sure what skipping it even accomplishes if you've already read every part before it and inexplicably want to jump to the next one right after it

They're still all great fights (with the series still not suffering from the usual long term consequences of power creep) no one is left behind by a result of the fights becoming more and more outlandish, JoJo doesn't have that idea of Power Levels. to the very end, Anasui is still Diving Down, Hermes is still making things into two, Jolyne is still turning into string. If you said Part 6 has fight fatigue because every goddamn second is some new bloody knock down drag out fight that feels like the world ending where Spiderman shows up, I'd totally agree. but no one here is Tien Shinhan that's why i said im pretty sure what CJ meant. a hard reboot where Araki has a clean slate again is a good refreshing time after Part 5 and even moreso Part 6

I just assumed he meant that the new universe wouldn't have the baggage of the arrow, requiems, Dio's influence, stand virus, special words to create a new stand that is nigh invincible, all that jazz. Instead, part 7 just had the meteorite land in North America instead of in Greenland or wherever it originally landed and instead of it being found later and used to create the arrows, it just created the Devil's Palm and shifted around America while granting powers to anyone nearby and Jesus got involve and decided to leave his body parts scattered to give people stands as well and also the power of the golden ratio gave birth to a new form of Neapolitan medicinal treatment and humane execution.

Also in part 6 it felt kind of weird seeing DIO in flashback form just because of how much the way characters are built kinda changed between part 3's huge musclemen to the more "muscular but lithe" body types in later parts.

I'd forgotten some of Trish's characterization here (or maybe the anime changed it a bit?). I'd remembered her being a prissy spoiled brat at first and suddenly becoming a badass during the Notorious BIG fight, but her interactions with Narancia this episode show that she was a spoiled brat and a badass from the start.

Mista: "Why the hell am I the chair?!" I always loved how close Narancia came to murking Little Feet before the fight even really starts. Life in the JoJo verse would probably be a lot easier if more stand users just went all-in at the start like that instead of trying to draw things out.

BaDandy posted:All of DIO's kids are pretty overpowered, but my personal favorites of Part 6 are "Jolyne Gets Run Over by the Miami Dolphins" and "Where the gently caress is Mickey". The best part is how one of Dio's son's backstories is literally just "He's Stanley Yelnats from Holes." And IIRC, this was written BEFORE the Shia LaBeouf movie, so Araki was just casually reading some American young-adult literature and decided to lift a plot element from it. somepartsareme posted:my worldview changed forever when i realized that while annasui is freaking out about mickey, he's reading a guidebook for universal studios, not disney So, what you're saying is, Annasui should be saying "where the gently caress is Shrek!?" Zerilan posted:Also in part 6 it felt kind of weird seeing DIO in flashback form just because of how much the way characters are built kinda changed between part 3's huge musclemen to the more "muscular but lithe" body types in later parts. But there are some new-style drawings of old characters that I'm really not a fan of, and I just wish Araki would refrain from drawing now that he's evolved past his 80s brick-shithouse style:  What happened to Star Platinum's gains?  If anyone really should be drawn inhumanly huge like they came straight out of a Tom of Finland sketch, it should be Pillar Men.  Jonathan's fine, but here he kind of reminds me of that skinny kid who wears ill-fitting suits and reviews fast food..

to be fair it's easy enough to just deduce 'hey maybe the guy who can summon his own personal death drone can fend off people trailing him better than guy with a cool revolver, a guy who has to punch poo poo to separate it, weird new kid who makes animals or Literally Just an rear end in a top hat Version of Columbo'
