I really don't see why people think it needs more than 26 episodes. 1 episode per stand user, 1/2 for minor ones, and 2 for DIO seems like it is more than enough. I'd prefer they excise some dialogue than give it the DBZ treatment.

Yea, going by chapter counts, Darby the Gamer would be 2 episodes long and there really isnt enough substance in that fight to justify two freakin eps.

Otoishi's stand is one of the best, and he's an important minor villain.

He kind of suffers from the "Diavolo" syndrome, his stand's design is better than his design.

Yea but he still plays a guitar, making it squeal to say "Yesssss!" instead of speaking. So hes in.

Otoshi will be a great character if and only if all his moves involve whacking people with his ludicrously expensive guitar.

The only reason Otoshis guitar and Superflys calluses arent the greatest two page spreads in manga history is that nothing can beat Ultimate Cars.

How far are the retranslations in Part 4? I'm itching to reread Part 3, and It'd be nice if Part 4 was finished soon so I could go through it in a solid week with non-lovely translation.

Its been 3/4ths done forever. I dont know whats holding up the last bit, but id say just go ahead and read it. Duwang gets better as it goes along, and that last quarter makes 100x more sense than the first quarter does.

Which one of the seasons is considered the weakest one? I'm on Vento Aureo and it's killing my will to keep reading Jojo. This jojo barely does anything, all the characters are pretty weak and it's a real bummer to see how the plot is developing considering the potential of the main character's background.

Vento Auero and Stone Ocean are the weakest, imo.

Stone Ocean improves in every regard but I got serious fight fatigue around that point and it seems like Jolyne never got to take a break from constantly getting into fights.

Steel Ball Run reaches a much better balance.

I guess that's still a problem with Stone Ocean, as Steel Ball Run has no such issue. It's just utterly fantastic and fresh that you there's no sort of drag at all from binging it right after the entirety of Jojo before it.

Thats because Jojo has two speeds, Fight and Goofy poo poo. Putting the race in SBR gave us a source of conflict outside of stand battles, and sometimes it was nice to just see who was going to come in first.

I'm really digging this whole mystery so far. I just read the end of SBR again and I couldn't find a mention that they hid Dio's corpse in the vault with the holy corpse, is that just the scan I was reading being bad or is the whole dio thing just speculation?

I think its just, what else would Lucy have done? She just exploded a major celebrity's head with his alternate universe's head. Or, well, soon to be celebrity, since he won the SBR. A 100 year vault is a nice place to hide that kind of evidence.

Yea, a big problem with Jojo is that every time a new stand user shows up, they incapacitate or make useless 90% of the cast, forcing the only person not affected by a broken stand into a one on one fight. Part 5 is probably the biggest offender in this regard and so is Part 3, at least in Part 6 the cast is pruned down a bit and they are seperate from one another so that a series of one on one fights makes more sense.

Giorno might've been cool too if he showed up in Stone Ocean with Araki loving teasing it and all...

How did Araki tease this aside from introducing the sons of Dio? Giorno seemed to be cut from a different cloth than those 3 and was pretty self actualized instead of being a half zombie like they were, and caught in the ghost of Dios grasp. I didnt expect Girono to show up despite thier introduction.

Diego is both a separate enough character from Dio and important enough to warrant being in ASB. Hell, if Akira can get in, there's no good reason why Diego shouldn't get in.

Yea, Diego, Hot Pants, Lisa Lisa, Stroheim and FF all stand out as major oversights, especially when we have minor characters like Hol Horse and Otoshi.

I definitely agree that Joseph is one of the best Jojos, he's really fun and I loved all the psychological poo poo in Part 2. Jotaro and Jolyne definitely both have their place though and I'd be hard pressed to order that Top 3. :shobon:

Jolyne is really a top tier Jojo but shes hamstrung a bit by her circumstances, Part 6 is where stand abilities really went off the wall and left a bad taste in some peoples mouths.

I wish they were all as good as Underground though, trapping people in the catastrophes of the past is a really awesome idea.

Really? I thought the implication was that it was just doing poo poo for him on it's own (or subconsciously, I guess?), what with it getting him poo poo in jail and beating the poo poo out of punks trying to fight him (the entire reason he locks himself in jail)

Ya, but Star Platinum was stealing books about mysticism and the occult for Jotaro while he was in prison (despite the 2m range put in place later on, wingo wango Araki Plothole). Since stands are a reflection of yourself like Zorak said, and Jotaro was trying to figure out what was going, he was controlling Star Platinum to an extent, since it was bringing him research materials.

A lot of the fight scenes would probably go quicker in animation form than comic form as well.

A lot of fights dont have much to them. You could squish Tower of Grey and Dark Blue Moon together into one episode pretty easily. Since theres something like 30+ opponents in Part 3 theres going to have to be a lot of doubling up. Although some of them are package deals already like Oingo and Boingo and J Geil and Hol Horse.

"It's something that was given to me, but I have a swimsuit calender hanging on the wall of my workplace. In short, I have 12 pictures of girls in bathing suits in my office. Nothing naughty. But anyways, every time the month changes, I have to flip the page to the next girl, and somehow, that makes me feel incredibly melancholy. 'Goody bye, September girl. I guess we'll never meet again.' That's how it makes me feel. And then I *flip*, and think, 'Wow, October's not bad either!", and that makes me think of how I'm already betraying the September girl... So, what I'm trying to say here is, that a year goes by really quickly."
