Koichi might have been fun if only for his reactions to the gang curb stomping randos or the torture dance.

Koichi was able to charm and befriend several murderous assholes in Morioh so he might have been able to befriend some of the assassins sent after the Passione Gang.

Everyone knows that Jojos lose their invulnerability once their part is almost over/actually over. That's why Josuke opted to stay out of Part 5.

there's nothing official, iirc, but a lot of people like to think josuke would become a cop, but no the real bigbrain idea is that josuke would become a nurse at the local hospital

It would be very funny if Josuke became some kind of miracle cure doctor entirely on the strength of Crazy Diamond and conning Rohan into writing 'I know all topics in pre-med education' into his head.

Using his stand to heal powers and make money would be 100% Josuke. Also getting kicked out for one of his fellow classmates or patients talkin' poo poo about his hair

Josuke never gets a job but somehow always has enough money for whatever misadventures he, Koichi, and Okuyasu get into.

Alternately, what would I need to say to prove to you that he is, in fact, a combination of his two fathers? Because we both know from the manga thread that not much is gonna change if we're both just like "You're wrong" and I felt the argument in the manga thread was not about Giorno's inherent Jonathan-Dio-ness. Funky Valentine posted:Which is to say, he is a piece of wood with a face drawn on it. Neither Jonathan nor Dio were like that. Jonathan was plain and Dio was unabashedly evil but neither was just a plank.

Giorno's personality, motivation, and capabilities change several times before becoming he settles into being a background character in his own series.

Arist posted:Well, Giorno is, so he's not very much like either of them is he? Giorno is not a plank. He has a personality. You may not like it or you may not think Araki or David Production succeeded in conveying his personality, but that isn't the same as him not having one. He's a self-righteous, brutal, ambitious killer who plans to usurp the position as the boss of the mafia with the sole intention of using that power to do what he feels the mafia should do: protect others, just as he was protected, and help those less fortunate, and end anything related to drug trade specifically because it harms innocents. He has the ambitions of Dio and the charisma to inspire others, whether inspiring them to do something out of spite or out of awe, and he has the caring, righteous attitude of Jonathan, wanting to save innocents and allowing himself to be utterly mangled in the process if it means proving his loyalty to his ideals and dreams of being a Gang Star.

I would say the thing that makes Giorno feel boring is that he never leaves "For the sake of my dream" mode. There's never really a moment where he's just calmed down and being one of the guys because the story doesn't have time for that. The closest is at the very beginning, which is when I was most interested in Giorno, but then the non-stop combat happens.

Plus he's already at a disadvantage character-wise since he's constantly surrounded by characters more interesting than he is.

I like all the parts of 5 where all the Jobros, Giorno included, interact w other characters outside of the mission. You get a sense of all the different faces they've adapted to survive that they show to other gangsters, civvies, cops, etc. Their isn't much of it, but what's there is intriguing and surprisingly subtle. I also like all the other parts. Pootybutt fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Aug 5, 2020 |

Sheila E, Purple Haze Feedback posted:When people look at Giorno, they see something so unfathomable they see themselves reflected in him. They're swallowed up in his potential, and wind up seeing only themselves. I've never quite been sure what to make of that line. The Purple Haze Feedback LN isn't canon, but the LN does make an interesting argument for Sheila E's view by pointing out that Koichi considered Giorno "gentle." One might also note that the member of Bruno's gang who reacts most negatively to Giorno at first is Abbaccio, who is also the most self-loathing.

Nessus posted:Is there a call on what Josuke did with his life? I assume he remained a golden heart of Morioh, possibly by spending all of Joseph's money locally. There is a fan comic where he spends his post high school time being a really good uncle to a young Jolyne and that's pretty much head canon for me.

The only thing we know about Josuke is from seeing the back of his head in one of the Rohan stories and that he, like everyone else from his school, apparently still wears his school uniform for some reason

It's pretty neat that Koichi is the oldest character in the series, not age-wise but print-wise since he was the deuteragonist of Cool Shock BT, one of Araki's pre-jjba works.

MonsterEnvy posted:I think Part 5 would have benefitted from not taking place in universe over a week. One of the best decisions Araki made for part 4 was have it take place over the summer, so it allowed for the characters to interact more aside from just fighting. It also allowed for amazing poo poo like Josuke trying to scam Rohan in a dice game.

Not the same guy but the same kind of character, same name and very similar role, but original Koichi never got to power up and beat people up. He just got nearly killed by a Hitler cosplayer and also got pushed out of his own home by freeloaders who guilted their way into staying and taking over the house by their son faking getting run over by Koichi's dad and then stealing Koichi's dog by getting them into a bet of "which candy will the ants eat, the one on the left or the one on the right"
