I was born the day before Echoes evolved into Echoes Act 2, so uh. Glad to know I helped Koichi be less kidnapped.

Also I just recently got caught up on Part 8 and holy poo poo this might be the highest-stakes fight so far, pretty much everyone's involved and I hope everyone's going to be okay :ohdear:

Well, except for Joshuu. He can stay in the sewer.

Forgive me if I'm misinterpreting you here, but I never got the argument that Star Platinum being fast and precise was indicative of, thematically related to, or foreshadowing its ability to stop time.

The World doesn't move really fast in stopped time, he freezes the world around him. Kakyoin's whole net is destroyed simultaneously for everyone but DIO.

Being able to stop time for 10 seconds is basically just being able to move faster than time for about ten "seconds" relative to you, is how most people get to that conclusion.

That would be awesome

I do like how this chapter, at least to me, further solidifies that Josuke isn't either of the two halves with a bit of the other, he's just new. I want it to end with him being happy with the new him rather than chasing the old so it's good.

Yeah, going along with that it's a little bit like he's trying to find out about his "parents" now, instead of who "he" is. Josuke doesn't really have a past, he was "born" when Josefumi and Kira fused.

Though to be fair, there's a ton of poo poo like that in almost every language. "Japan" in Japanese is Nippon or Nihon, yet somehow it's Japan in English, Japón in Spanish, Ilbon in Korean, Riben in Mandarin Chinese, etc. At least the last one has the excuse of it being the way you'd read the characters in Chinese, but yeah. I've always wondered how that happens.

People in the anime thread talking about how cool Echoes Act 2 is reminded me that I'm always really disappointed with Echoes Act 3. The stand goes from sound effects to sound effects that create REAL effects, to...making things really heavy. The first time the stand shouts "ACT THREE, FREEZE!" I thought it'd be like a weird "make a rhyme, then poo poo happens" thing, but THREE FREEZE is only thing it ever does, so I always found it really weird how Act 3's power has pretty much nothing to do with sound anymore, especially after how creative Koichi could be with Act 1 and 2.

It's so odd to me that they don't know what mozzarella is, do they not have pizza in Japan? What a hellish existence.

I think it's more that cheese is a pretty Western thing, so they know less about giant hunks of mozzarella, but they know what cheese and pizza are.

Corn isn't an issue for me, it sounds like it'd do fine with Pizza, however the use of mayonnaise is disgusting and should be a federal crime.

So with the second OP coming should we assume that it'll feature Rohan and start in his episode(s)?

If it helps at all (it probably doesn't) Japanese mayo is pretty different from Western mayo, it's a lot sweeter.

Though I think it's just you get rid of the curse if someone else takes the money from you. I don't know why the guy at the end kept saying you have to burn it, because Joshu just tricked him into taking the money and he was immediately freed from the curse, while giving it back to that guy.

In case anyone else isn't sure how hilarious the Disney songs are because they don't understand Japanese all that well, or just don't immediately recognize the songs--the songs they're parodying are:

Hero Side
1: Just Can't Wait to be King from Lion King
2: You've Got a Friend in Me from Toy Story
3: Friend Like Me from Aladdin
4: Hakuna Matata from Lion King
5: Go The Distance from Hercules
6: When Will My Life Begin from Tangled
7: Zip-a-dee-doo-dah from Song of the South
Last: That's How You Know from Enchanted

Villain Side
1: Gaston from Beauty and the Beast
2: Oogie Boogie's Song from Nightmare Before Christmas
3: Prince Ali from Aladdin
4: Poor Unfortunate Souls from Little Mermaid
5a: Be Prepared from Lion King
5b: The Mob Song from Beauty and the Beast
6: Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame
7: This Is Halloween from Nightmare Before Christmas :lol:
Last: It's Our House Now from House of Mouse

Aaand I just realized there's a credits sequence where they list the songs :eng99: so much for my effortpost.

The chapter and volume in which Hato's Stand appears are both called Walking Heart ( which is probably a reference to the song I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking) so that's probably it's name???

I was gonna do the same, but I did the trade Bountasweet and didn't wanna waste time breeding another

Oh yeah, that sounds familiar, but I thought all the Higashikata stands had King somewhere in the name depending on which generation they were?

Two really interesting chapters! Chariot Requiem's ability seems insanely powerful though I guess Bites the Dust was too. All of the second arrow Stands are just absurdly strong. I guess Diavolo could easily take the arrow back using King Crimson but he's in Buccelatti's body so he's basically completely hosed.

Silver Chariot Requiem isn't exactly the same as when Kira got BTD. Back then, Kira was hit by the arrow when he was incredibly stressed out, which gave him a new ability. Silver Chariot Reqiuem happened because Silver Chariot was stabbed with the arrow, which made it sortof sentient apart from Polnareff and gave it that weird bodyswapping ability? Requiem stands are weird. It's basically "what if you tried to give a stand a stand?"

I've been slowly reading and catching up with JJBA for the better part of a year and just recently finished Stone Ocean, which I'm told is essentially the end of this universe/storyline before it basically starts from square one with Steel Ball Run (which I have heard good things about).

Part 6 was easily my favorite part and Jolyne was my favorite Jojo, but I felt really, really let down by that ending. It seemed to me that Dio ultimately won and Jolyne just essentially acted as fodder to the big bad guy who got what he wanted with the weirdest side character inflicted comeuppance to cap it off. The ending scene felt incredibly out of place and unsatisfying as a conclusion to the universe and Jolyne's character arc. I felt like every Jojo prior to her was done graciously and her defining moment was not instantly dying to Pucci. A real letdown for the character I found most interesting of any of the Jojos.

I'm mostly just coming here to decompress because I'm not sure how up for it I am to just let all of this fall away and start on something new with how part 6 ended. Is there some insight into the story that went over my head here? I was happy with the endings of every other part and it just seemed like such a, well, I suppose bizarre ending to it all. But not in the usually interesting Jojo way.

I'm sure someone else can explain it better, but basically the end of part 6 has them creating a universe/timeline where the Joestars aren't cursed and hosed up by Dio forever, so it's kind of a win, even though they're not the same people per se.

His power is similar to Jolyne's and she managed to keep herself alive in a bunch of creative ways so I think that he'll at least survive. I don't think there's any healers in part 8, so he might have permanent damage though. What I'm wondering is if the emergency crew are also rock humans.
