i mean, yeah, johnny is relatively alright at the end of steel ball run, but i mostly mean an ending where the majority of the main cast are still kicking around. like part 4. there's guaranteed to be some deaths, but since jojolion doesn't have a zeppeli it's hard to tell who might bite the dust.

I try to treat stories as self-contained, because this line of thinking leads to not enjoying Part 3 and 4 because you know Jotaro gets his brain sliced in half and then brutally time murdered in a few years, and you're one step away from just lamenting the ephemeral nature of all human endeavour.

In the context of SBR, Johnny achieves his dream and lives happily ever after and that's the tone the story ends on even if it is a bittersweet prize which probably wasn't worth the cost.

Soft and Wet is Josuke's, Josefumi has an inferior version of it and the pomp as well as being a dead man. :colbert:

Josuke's has inherited best from best boy Kira Yoshikage and Killer Queen.



Thank you for existing, Kira Yoshikage, you beautiful also dead man.

I mean you can look at that, but it does fit the overall theme of the Joestar bloodline never having peaceful lives. The only exceptions are what, Joseph, Josuke and maybe Gio? Generally all the Joestars live lives of turmoil and then die brutally. I don't think, say, Jotaro getting murked at the end of part 6 makes what he does throughout 3 and 4 any less important, that is just how his character ends.

That's almost half of the jojo's. And who knows, maybe by the end of Jojolion Gappy will live a pretty great life as well.

It is a blood curse surmounting time and space all the way down from the original JoJo: Joshua ben Joseph.

Stop! My penis can only get so erect.
Do you think all of the Angelo stuff can be stuffed into one episode, or is he going to be a two-parter?

Can't wait for Okuyasu to get in and it can start being Brojo Adventures.

they could totally handle angelo in a single episode. most of the fight, at the very least. if anything the story about the arrow could start the episode after, leading into the brothers right afterwards.

There wasn't a ① around the episode name so it probably finishes up this week.

I'm banking on okuyasu for week three, hopefully more oku in the preview next week. They've done a good job of low-key hyping him for me; at least, that's how I'm interpreting what they've done with him thus far ;)
(I know they just didn't because he's not in the first few episodes, same as rohan!)

The Rohan stuff is interesting because he doesn't come around until like halfway through the series, doesn't he? He's a late addition, at least. I get that he's super important to the plot but putting him heavy in the advertising is interesting to me because it'll be awhile before the payoff.

Nah he's like at the start of the second third. Either directly or shortly after RHCP.

Rohan just isn't around all the time. He's like Batman in JLU where he never officially signs up to the league, but he's one of the good guy team anyway.

If you must blink, do it now.
You could probably stuff the majority of the Angelo fight into one episode with the last bit where he's a rock leaking into the next.

I'm also sure Rohan and several other future characters will be showing up in the OP, except perhaps for Kira, Akira, and Shizuka.

Okuyasu Nijimura

Rohan has gotta be in the OP. He's too popular not to be and honestly he's in more than you realize once you start looking into it.

Wow, they didn't take long to figure out Kira's identity at all.

Also for a minute, I thought this was a ranking of some Part 4 fights and I was about to get so mad.

On that crunchyroll thing I wrote in Power of Equality since it does fit the timeframe of when Araki was writing DiU and everyone already said All Star and pretty much every Pink Floyd and David Bowie song.

I thought Californication was a candidate a while ago. RHCP, pretty iconic, would have a nice lead in and the lyrics aren't hugely off too. It's a '99 track too. The bassy part of it is pretty Morioh to me too. I'd dig it.

"Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war you're waging?"

This bit is kinda Cinderella.

Also, they're Warner Brothers.
