It might be the high of just recently watching it, but drat that might be my favourite fight in all of Jojo. They take the joke villain with a banana head and a fishing line and give him a goddamn compelling character arc.

This is easily one of the best fights in Vento Aureo.

god this show owns. like, i really don't mean for this to be as disparaging as it sounds, but like, i cannot imagine watching black clover or attack on titan or whatever shounen after you watch a dude unzip himself and his heart to avoid getting hooked by an intangible fishing line

not sure if the anime's Arrivederci stacks up to the game's tho, maybe it's just because I latched onto this version cause it's all we had
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=325LCV8u1iY

I can't really speak for black clover but I don't think anyone who's stuck with AoT did so for the action. Like yeah, the action is gorgeous, but the appeal of the story is that it is a thriller about finding out the truth of the setting and how the political intrigue will resolve.

Also it's okay to like multiple things, it doesn't make you like jojo any less. Jojo doesn't demand you to be exclusive. Let me tell you about my polyanime relationship.

Such a mammoni he was.

I'm real glad Prosciutto's final words were to keep encouraging Pesci. This is my favorite fight in perhaps the whole series.

I love that Araki put his own spin on the classic story of a novice who steps up to reach his true potential and fulfill his mentor's wishes after he's killed by their enemies, except the protagonist of this coming-of-age story is an assassin with self-esteem issues and his newfound confidence just puts our actual hero into deep poo poo.

Yeah, kinda like how the fight between Narancia and Formaggio twisted the typical Jojo Stand fight dynamics by having the audience mostly following things from Formaggio's point of view as he attempted to suss out how Aerosmith works.

I'm not sure I get how it all works, but every one of these nerds and mammonis could have been in Bruno's team instead, if Bruno had run into them or if they were a year or two younger or something.

Mista and presumably Pistols are voiced by Kosuke Toriumi, who also did one of the voices for Pipimi. so i havent watched it but probably

They definitely sound similar, but I was under the impression that the voices in the Bobunemimimi sections were guys from AC-Bu themselves.

yeah like literally someone after like two weeks of Japanese 101 could tell you that the words Sistine and Michelangelo are in Polpo's text bubble, both totally absent from the first translation

and honestly if Duwang really was some Chinese students uni project, I hope they got an A, because you can read and know exactly what's happening, and also you get to laugh

It was at the HerV (highervoltage.net, which mostly dealt with fighting games) forums that the duwang translation happened (and was originally hosted). I don't remember the handle of the actual Chinese->English translator (who was from the Philippines I think?) but he worked alongside VeggieH8R, who I guess did the editing and type-setting. They were just a couple of dudes really happy to be translating Jojo which was popular there due to the Capcom fighting game. The translation was fast and lovely because nobody was aiming for (or cared about) quality. People there were mainly interested in fighting game porn doujins but Jojo is good so Duwang was born.

Yeeeeahhhh, I was gonna wait until we got closer, but next week's episode will contain deceptions of sexual assault more than the usual just saying that it happened and just in general be pretty gross in a way that this series usually isn't so be safe if that's something you want to avoid

I'm pretty ambivalent about Babyface. I remember seeing a lot of jokes around that the ending theme would be most appropriate for that fight, but

Why is everyone rushing in to voice their opinion on a fight that hasn't aired yet in the anime thread?

here's something that I see why they cut; there's a bit where Bruno goes for the final beatdown but Pesci just dips inside the turtle and threatens everyone, and that's when Bruno does the unzipping his arm thing to reach inside the turtle and get him out







it's criminal that this gag was cut tho




also this chapter ends on No. 6 remembering that they gotta go check on Mista, who is probably fine!
