I would guess it has something to do with the audio being produced in Japan and the subtitles being produced in America.

Stop being dense, it's that DavidPro is responsible for those sounds, and therefore if you wanted to sue, you would sue a company beholden to Japanese copyright law. The American law only applies to the subtitles, so that's all they need to care about. Guess what, laws are dumb, get over it.

itt goons think they know more about copyright law than the associated businesses that have been making and publishing JoJo for over thirty years and localizing it for the last five and that those people are cowards

I have talked with Crunchyroll people who have been in meetings with Viz, trying their best to get name rights, specifically for Killer Queen I remember and like, everyone involved is trying to play it safe and keep the JoJo pipeline moving, it's just not gonna happen perfectly, but hey at least it's happening at all.

And they're trying their best to keep as much of the reference as they can, like naming Captain Tenille Captain Dragon, which is basically the same reference, or even putting in a new kosher reference, like Oingo Boingo being Zenyatta Mondatta or Kenny G. becoming BIllie Jean, which is commendable.

Johnny Joestar posted:i always thought diavolo was a neat villain, the problem is just that he gets jobbed at the end Diavolo is just too mysterious for me; what we get of his backstory just raises more questions, and we never get a clear sense of what drives him (he's obsessed with keeping his past and other aspects of his identity secret for some reason, and he spouts a few generic villain lines about how he's destined to obtain everything in the world or whatever, and that's it).

He's pretty much the same as Kira but on a grander scale, at least that's how I felt. I can appreciate a guy that just wants to do what he does, and erase his past where he wasn't doing that stuff. Also he has some rad tattoos and a very angry stand.

I think part of my general apathy towards Diavolo is he's sandwiched between really great villains. He comes after DIO and Kira, and then right before Pucci and Funny Valentine. In comparison he just seems like a lame duck.

Like Soul Sacrifice is a more fitting name than Devo and Centerfold is such a perfect name since it semi-ironically describes his appearance and still ties in to the original name.

Dan of Steel is great because it’s both a (probably unintentional) Superman pun and the actual translation of the kanji they use for his name
