That picture still looks like younger Jonathan given the outfit he's wearing. Still a hilarious change from part 1 kenshiro jonathan tho.

There should be a law against Araki drawing his pre-Act IV characters (possibly omitting Jotaro *) ever again.

I'll play the shittiest Chinese bootleg in the world if i can be Diego




Edit: Also, can someone please explain to me what Gold Experience Requiem even does? It....traps you in an infinite loop of deaths in alternate universe? Seems pretty brutal. Better than Silver Chariot Requiem's "walk around, putting people to sleep, and also mutating them but only for like 2 pages before that idea is immediately forgotten?"

Well I think the Speedwagon Foundation also does R&D relating to kooky poo poo like vampires and Stands. They've still got a pillar man locked in a suntan coffin and I think DIO's corpse, presumably they're also doing studies on him.

The Speedwagon Foundation is basically the SCP Foundation but less morally questionable. Hell, it's sometimes called the SPW foundation. Also, I like that one information page where they say Speedwagon founded it to document "bizarre phenomena" because I'm a sucker for that sort of title-referencing stuff.





I imagine it's mostly stand research, with some heavily secured rooms full of stone masks and vampire dust.

After about 8 months of on-and-off reading, I've finally caught up. I'll try to never forget that the moment I caught up was when Gappy and Jobin were having a stag beetle fight, with the stakes being a Lambo for a licked eyeball.

Now to read Purple Haze Feedback; I've heard it's decent. Or at least less bad than Over Heaven or Jorge "37 Cars' living on Mars who have Killer Queen" Joestar.

Aww. I was really hoping Gappy would get his eyeball licked.


Also, what is the strategic benefit of the wax? Is having a seizure somehow beneficial to the beetle's fighting ability? And Gappy's winning move was to use his bubbles to take venom from the stinger and put it inside of the Rosenbergi?

Welp, there goes a major source of fun. jyrque is right, ASB was best when played with friends in the same room who all like jojo. Or rather, with a friend who likes Jojo and a friend who doesn't know anything about it who you can make guess who is who and what is going on.

I thought he becomes less dog-like and more stylized as we first start hearing his thoughts, to show that he's become a character. It's like what Scott McCloud talked about in Understanding Comics; the more simplistic and less photorealistic a character is, the easier we can project on to them.

This is really overthinking it, but I imagined that this basically means that Jotaro's "fate" is just always going to be to die with his face being split open, regardless of when or how it happens.



Also, The Lord of Hats, just for the record to avoid confusion, Word of Araki is that Steel Ball Run is NOT the universe Emporio wound up in. It's just another parallel or alternate universe somewhere.

My favorite is purple haze because of how he's drooling and gross

I've always felt that Purple Haze having a clear, beak shaped visor is a poor design for a black and white comic book medium. It's really hard to cleanly depict that and the fact that I had to read Vento Aureo in lovely, poorly typeset Chinese scans didn't help.

It just distorts the face and distracts from the crazy eyes and drooling, sewn-shut mouth, which I think are really cool.


And stand evolution is cool when it actually makes sense. Echoes Act 1--->Echoes Act 2, is perfectly logical, going from physical, audible onomatopoeias to physical onomatopoeias that take the effect of the sound, but then Act 3 just the ability to make things heavier and becomes snarky. Or how Silver Chariot Requiem loses its sword and just walks around doing crazy things with light and shadow, making people fall asleep and bodyswap, and for like literally 2 pages makes extra-dimensional eldritch monsters grow inside people. And then GER is sort of consistent in that it gives people "eternal life" in a stupid bullshit way, to trump Diavolo's stupid bullshit power. And GER also demonstrated it didn't lose normal Gold Experience's powers, anyway.

but yeah it's cool that the Sandman fight did right by the onomatopoeia effect power because it's super cool and a real testament to how lame koichi is that he couldn't come up with any neat ways to use it

It's like how the Green Lantern's power is limited only by his imagination and then he just makes loving hammers and anvils all the time.
(If in the comic books he actually does cool stuff I'm sorry)

Araki should do a one shot comic about a Green Lantern ring user. He'd be able to use that power to its logical limits.

Yes. That's how Emporio defeated Pucci. You can be "rejected" by a stand though, like Jolyne was with Star Platinum.

Then why didn't Pucci load himself up with multiple stands at any point? He had dozens of them.
