please never skip arc 4

also the white album fight in arc 5 is almost translated and that plus the train fight are probably some of the top encounters in vento aureo so soon enough at least those will be readable.

If you must blink, do it now.
Part 4 rules and finally has a great translation and is now also an anime if you hate reading.

There is literally no excuse to skip it except as penance for some terrible sin you've committed. Even then, once you've found absolution, you should go back and experience Part 4 with your conscience clear.

there is genuinely no excuse to skip diamond is unbreakable because it has solid translations and is a nice change of pace from the previous 3 parts. it also boasts a wide variety of really memorable events and has one of the best villains in the series. also rohan punches a child and there's an alien.

e: Same twitter account says Viz say they always dub an anime they have rights to and they have rights to SDC for home video so the P4 dub/sub thing is probably 100% true too.

Yup, though I believe Daxing Dan might have done his own for a few parts of it


And the pt 5 translation is prioritized over the color scans so I'm sure they'll go back someday and pick up with what's missing. I like it when people kvetch that they're not done at the same time, like that team just sort of snaps their fingers and color scans are cleaned alongside B&W ones

Jojo Project was translating Part 5 up until the beginning of Volume 4, when they died and dropped it. With that, JJCA and I picked up where they left off and started translating from there. So far we've released up to Volume 8, out of 17 total.


By the way, since I forgot to say this earlier, thanks for the kind comments, and thanks for enjoying Vento Aureo, everyone.

i like how we sort of have preconceived notions about josefumi and kira but they always seem to be defied at nearly every turn

also i kinda like how over time kira has sort of been 'changed' to look a little more like gappy, but that's more just araki changing his mind a little as things went on as far as small details go. also holy poo poo that was a cold thing to do to karera

Extremely hosed up yes.

I'm not saying much else about what I actually think about Kira - a character I enjoy a ton and think is well done- because I know it'll go over like a lead balloon with some. Regardless, someday before I die I'd like to see the Killer Queen part animated.

i think that starting with steel ball run araki started being less afraid to make the jojos to be Mildly Questionable characters and with kira it kinda really shows. he's definitely got the bloodline in him and parts of this chapter really showed that, but other parts and stuff from earlier in the arc also point to him kind of being his own person who will act on things based on how he sees himself to be 'allied' with others, which is nice. he's definitely not a perfect person and so far he comes off as being more of an rear end in a top hat than josefumi, but he's definitely not comically evil or coming off as a villain really. i will add, though, that i kind of wish he wasn't so similar to kira from arc 4 in terms of name and stand design. i like how josefumi plays with what we know already and so far kira is still a little too on the nose for me.

Kira is a hero

Him having Killer Queen works because it was a twist though. Seeing Killer Queen but good is amazing because Killer Queen is an amazing villain stand.

the thing that makes me curious

From what we saw when Josefumi was getting destroyed with Vitiman C, it actually does seem like damage inflicted to an individual while they're 'Soft' is basically permanent, from how Kira got his liver cut out too. This makes me more certain Joshuu might actually be straight dead, since he had the same thing that happened to Josefumi except it went through his full head.

Yes I realize I'm still harping on that, but it's really strange to look at.

Also holy poo poo Kira's Sheet Heart Attack in this reality is way more explosive then the original; two of them loving destroyed that dock, the original didn't have near that much power.

jojolion is really good and things are getting even better as pieces fall into place. there's still a couple of things that haven't been touched on, like the weird bite marks on people, but at this pace i really have no doubt that stuff will be covered.

I thought the same thing about Joshuu but still feel like even if we know that Vitamin C works that way, actually having Joshuu be straight-up-loving-dead right now will doesn't make a ton of sense. Somebody's gotta go pretty soon but I don't think this is it - I think Jobin's going to go out in a big way later but hey who knows maybe Jobin and Joshuu both die for very different reasons.

And I do really enjoy that the good guys are really complex good guys, don't get me wrong on that. That's part of why I think Kira is well done. I feel really loving bad for Karera right now though and even if it involved Josefumi potentially wimping out, his thing about people abandoning him is extremely loving sad given his mom and so on. I like how much is put across just with that.


Jojolion is loving fantastic. I cannot see it getting 'bad' in any way. If it keeps even a fraction of this momentum sorry, honestly, it ends up blowing SBR out of the water fo rme.

If anything, it goes to show that Joshuu's probably okay. Kira and Josefumi reformed once no longer under the influence of Vitamin C but Kira was hurt because his liver was cut out. Joshuu was washed down the drain as a whole. If anyone dies here, it's probably Kyo, which would help keep the mystery of Kira more shrouded and provide access to Holly Kira-Joestar

If Joshuu is dead that also means Daiya and Kyo are dead too since they melted into something unrecognizable iirc so I don't think Araki would go that far

Seems to me that the damage is only permanent if it's done by cutting with an edge. Everything else sooner or later snaps back into the original shape once Vitamin C's influence is gone, or if the softness hasn't progressed that far yet. So "cutting" with the yen note did real damage, but something much more severe like water flowing through Joshuu's head or the dad having bubbles rise through his forehead probably doesn't do anything permanent.

On the other hand, that probably means Best Dad actually lost a hand :ohdear:

I absolutely love Damo. A dumpy, goofy looking dude among a cast of supermodels, but he looks so livid in this chapter. Awesome.
