Considering how good Pink Giorno looks (significantly better than blue tbh) I have faith a Johnny recolor would look good.

God help them if they change Jolyne's black and green color scheme though.

i still hold that you could age everyone up in the gang by like 4-5 years and it would be vastly better

Theyd also look identical so really, at that point, what does it even matter?

Really enjoying the voice actors they got for Prosciutto and Pesci so far, especially the "Beach Boy!" stand cry thing that Pesci did when he first pulled it out.

He's definitely one of my favourite minor villains in that he gets his own tiny character arc and becomes such a badass. Which then forces Bucciarati to up his game and pull off some of the crazier poo poo he ever does with them zips.

Good episodes to come!

beach boy as a stand terrifies me and i've already seen anime-only people underestimating pesci so it's going to be fun to see their reactions in the next week or so

It’s always kinda come off to me like Araki gives the characters ages in the teens so that they’ll be popular with teenagers, but then continues writing them as thought they were adults. Which...doesn't really work that well lmao.

Yes, it completely loving sucks and most of them don't actually act like teenagers either so the ages make no sense.

Josuke and Okuyasu act like teenagers; they seem to be the rare exceptions.

You could add 5 years to the age of every JoJo high schooler except Josuke and the Duwang Gang and you wouldn't even have to make any significant changes to them.

I don't know, Jotaro calling his mom a bitch but still caring about her deeply seems pretty teenager-like behavior.

I mean usually characters act older than they actually are in manga series, especially battle manga. If they acted like real teenagers most of them would be annoying as poo poo.

How many Stand names got to be kept in the subs in this Part so far? It feels like as the series goes on, we get less and less of the original musical references actually allowed to be subtitled.

If we're talking Stands, then it's just Mr. President.

Since part 3, Heavens Door and Mr. President have been the only ones they’ve kept. Even in part 3 there were a lot of changes, but aside from Cool Ice and Dan of Steel (which is the translation of the characters used to represent his name in the original and still technically a reference) they were just changed to other musical references. Theres Enyaba too but again that’s still a reference. Prior to that, only Santana had his name changed.

I just wish they weren't so damned lazy with these name changes, it feels like the recent ones have little to no thought put into them and are just giving them dumb names, for the most part, don't always reflect the original name. Like, Moody Jazz is fine, but then you've got Lil Bomber and Fisher Man and Zipper Man and it's like "what"

I was down on Six Bullets and Zipper Man for a while but then I found out there are actual songs called that so I’ve warmed up a little to those ones. Jury’s still out on Lil’ Bomber though.

I think the traitors refer to the gang (traitors to the boss). Unless the second half of the anime turns into a slice of life about fugo

Hmm, I know they explicitly said they wouldn't be using the JoJonium format for the DiU releases, but it's still hella jarring that they're going with the early Part 4 ULTRA PUNCHMAN style for Josuke on the cover there (yes, I know it's taken directly from the original manga artwork, but it's not really representative of what most of that part looks like).

Yeah but the twinkier art from later in part 4 isn't representative of the art in early part 4
