Wouldn't Josefumi be considered spoilers? Not that the games ever really cared about that anyway.

Only insofar as people would know "This guy doesnt know who he is, and by the time the story wraps up he knows his name is Josefumi"

I mean, its not really a meaningful spoiler and people who are late to the game are always going to be at a disadvantage story wise. Knowing that this Josuke storyline is resolved and the amnesiac character recovers his memories at some point shouldn't be a shocking revelation. Josefumi was not a known character before his reveal in the comic so its not like theres any danger in his name being well known.

IMO its as much of a spoiler as knowing that Jolyne exists. Yea, it tells you that Jotaro has a child and from that you can infer he must at least survive the trip to Egypt (since Jolyne is already born during DIU it doesnt really tell you anything about his survival there)

Josuke Higashikata posted:


The first page of the latest chapter is essentially him accepting that he is Josuke, he's been named Josuke since super early and he's called Josuke in all the merch and advertising. There's absolutely 0% chance they'll move on from it.

Also, Josuke deciding that he is Josefumi would be a real kick in the nuts considering Josefumi willingly gave his life so that Kira would live on.

Yeah I know, but calling the man Josefumi Kujo would just be easier on us, the readers. I wasn't trying to suggest it would make sense in the context of the story :P

quote:

Josefumi's existence and identity is a huge spoiler above and beyond that of Jolyne being Jotaro's kid or whatever. Josuke's identity and who he is is one of the core storylines and anything that gives that away is a huge spoiler.

While I agree, I was thinking about this in general. Like, imagine Jojo in 2024 when Part 9 is almost done. Anyone new to the series then will just know that its about a guy who doesnt know who he is, and possibly that hes really two people, just like everyone who is familiar with jojo knows SBR is about a horse race, even if they havent read it. Who Josefumi Is is a big spoiler, but Josefumi Existing is just part of the setting.

He does kill Hayato by the end of that scene, so they're not wrong to be real uncomfortable about it

I reread that scene pretty recently and was shocked when Hayato got killed, I totally remembered it as Kira was just freaking out in the mirror to his dad after failing to intimidate Hayato

I've been between watching the anime as it airs and lurking this thread, and finally ended up reading the manga, and i'm hooked. Im at the alien guy chapter right now, and its probably the weirdest thing i've seen so far in part 4. i also liked how Araki felt it was necessary to have Rohan and the kid inexplicably flying through the air to make rock paper scissors more exciting.

Highway Star is the arc right after and I think its my favorite in all of Jojo. Youre in for a treat.

The Boner speech is in the very, very end of the manga, when Kira plants Bites The Dust on the nurse and confesses everything to her to try and escape, right before the ambulance backs over him

Would this even work? When hes setting up Bites The Dust everyone already knows his secret. Would it activate in that case?

e: Well Duh, BTD will activate whenever anyone finds out about him, not just Josuke and co. And its not like he specifically needs to kill Jotaro with it. I guess the nurse will tell a cop, the cop would immediately die and time would reset. I wonder if, this being a new loop, only the cop would be fated to die now and Rohan would be off the hook in the new loop?

Hmm, I went down a Italian pronunciation rabbithole and found out that because the Italian pronunciation of Gyro would sound like thier word for Dormouse, the Italian editors changed his name to J.Lo, sneaking in another music ref.

or, you know, someone shouldn't try to strip a lady who may or may not be their mom and yell about how he should get a chance to suck on her titty

Yea, but Joshuu is a fictional character who is not harming anyone with his actions. The objects he is directing his sexual assaults towards (Caato and Yashuo) are not real people, but people shaped objects that Hirohiko Araki created out of whole cloth for the purposes of telling a story.

All over the internet theres been a weird increase in people "yelling at the movie theater screen" so to speak every time a character does something objectionable. Do you honestly think that people joining in the other side of this argument think that the actions Joshuu are taking would be acceptable? Thats an incredibly condescending attitude. The baseline for discussion in fandoms has degenerated to the point where everyone feels the need to state whether or not the characters are acting in a way that conforms with thier own ethical frame work before moving on to talking about anything. Remember when Hazamada got read by Rohan, and Rohan mentioned his attempted rape? Thank god everyone in the anime thread mentioned that rape was bad, otherwise I wouldn't have known! Everyone who makes those sorts of posts treats everyone around them like an infant who does not understand the basics between right and wrong, and that just gets a little bit annoying.

I don't think anyone here is saying "I DON'T LIKE JOSHUU BECAUSE HE'S BEING ~~PROBLEMATIC~~", they're just having an emotional reaction to him, like they should be, whether it's disgust or finding it so ridiculous that it loops around into being funny. Joshuu having these bouts of ridiculous behavior is definitely a spoiled, middle child acting out, but he's clearly supposed to get a reaction from the audience with his disgusting behavior, considering that's why Araki usually has his characters do things like that.

Please don't call one group of people "condescending" while also pulling the "it's not REAL, chill out guys" card. Like, everyone here knows that, don't be that guy. Come on, man.

The line I was responding to was "or, you know, someone shouldn't try to strip a lady who may or may not be their mom and yell about how he should get a chance to suck on her titty". What response can you even give to a statement like that other than "no fuckin' duh"? Yes, pointing out something that everyone already knows is condescending. So my response was condescending in return :P

i mean, it was kind of in response to some sort of odd psychoanalysis about how joshuu was apparently doing something perfectly natural given the situation, so i feel this conversation is going in circles

also i have no idea if joshuu's name is supposed to have 2 u's or if that's weird translator poo poo, but out of all the names it seems the most fitting to have the extra u there. i dunno if i'm alone on that

Im pretty sure the translators are just transliterating all the long vowels (Toukyou) instead of using diacritical marks (Tōkyō) or just ignoring them completely (Tokyo). But everyone in the Higashikata family seems to stre~~~tch out thier words when they talk too. Ive got no idea if its just rigid transliteration or an attempt to capture the way that they talk.

"Yeah of course I'm eating rocks Johnny you idiot, it helps with my digestion. Now where's that cup? Ah right here *crashes into the counter* Ahaha nope that wasn't it"

While Rohan getting himself blown up sounds like something that ought to be hilarious, I remember actually being pretty bummed out by it, since it's immediately followed by a horrified Reimi watching the ghost of the kid she used to babysit pass on in extreme agony.

I thought it was funny because Kira was standing there with Hayato taunging Rohan, saying "Oh look, what do you think hes thinking? 'I cant draw manga anymooore'".


Its funny because thats probably exactly what Rohan was thinking.

I think its gonna be the latter. We never even saw Speed King and its power was only hinted at and never revealed so it could be something with broader applications. Also Speed King just doesnt sound like the name of a final boss stand, its not bombastic enough. Maybe Caato is Ace of Spades
