We got the superior Zeppeli out of the deal so it's all good. As with all things Araki, just gotta roll with it.

Jonathan Joestar's stand is Anal Oppai, capable of creating little girls! Rank: E-

The anime thread's having fun with that stand generator but it's pretty underwhelming.

Though it very nearly comes close to reality when you can get it to spit out references to dinosaurs.

While doing so is indeed quite mad, you can read its parts in any order and not suffer for it besides a few spoilers. The most significant I can tell being the epilogue to SBR getting folded into the backstory of Jojolion, so while part 8 is mostly its own thing, reading it before part 7 really is a bad idea.

Beyond that, though, I can't really bring any strong feelings to the matter. So someone reads it out of order like a crazy person, big whoop.

There's a decent amount of fan art I've seen on tumblr of the ghosts of Kakyoin, Avdol, and Iggy playfully interacting with Jolyne. It's mostly really cute!

I finished reading Steel Ball Run last night and the final battle was amazing.



Lucy Steel ended up being my favorite character, as well as Stephen.

The Steels being compelling characters was not something I entirely expected going in, especially not the roles they would play. They were a pleasant surprise.

I know I'm shilling the DIO fight pretty hard in the anime thread, but it's still great.

Though the actual resolution to the fight is admittedly anticlimactic compared to launching an immortal into space via volcanic eruption. The fight though, was awesome even in the old OVA. Even the lead up to the fight has some great moments, especially when Dio's just messing around with Polnareff's head.

I know this is treading on old territory here but I really, really hope SC part 2 uses Voodoo Kindgom for something. Like an insert song or a special ED.

Voodoo Kingdom was used in the awful Phantom Blood movie, I think. Hell, I'm pretty sure it might have been Dio's theme.

Yep. Which is why I hope they bring it back because it deserves to be rescued from the heap of shame. The single was released after the movie, so judging based on that and the lyrics I'm pretty sure it was written for the sole purpose of being Dio's theme.

You could tell Funny Valentine was lying because no matter what dimension you might try to escape to, the universe always has three constants: Time, Gravity, and dead Zeppelis.

I'm with those guys. It's fine to translate it when he's telling someone it's useless, but once it's being used the way Jotaro uses Ora ora, leave it be.

The choice to leave it as "Muda muda" in the Viz translation is a bit of a damned if you do, damned if you don't. Because on the one hand you're basically going against translation best practices by leaving it untranslated. On the other, it's a deliberate choice to preserve continuity with that character's iconic battle cry.

I don't recall anyone actually asking a question about it in either thread, just people giving opinions.

As for subs translating is more than fine, but since SC's being dubbed I'll be impressed if they translate Dio's battle cry into English and sell it. Because phonetically, that's a real challenge.

I've come around on the muda dubbing thing.

But it would be neat if useless-useless was repeated and obviously overlapping with itself due to audio trickery, maybe with some reverb on top. Like the audio timing was being manipulated a la his stand.
