Part 4 is great because the bad guy is about the same level of stupid as the protagonists. They have a battle of wits for half the arc and it only ends when one of them fucks up really badly. Also this is like a page late but this is how King Crimson works.

The funny thing is, in any other manga Jolyne's default design would be weird fanservice. Except it's Jojo and everyone else is drawn wearing things that are like ten times more revealing.

When I was first reading Part 6, I thought the plot twist was going to be that Weather was actually Jotaro with someone else's stand disk in him. Man, part 6 can get confusing.

They're not actually translations, they're just putting words together. I remember in particular someone talking about how Italian was the most beautiful language in the world, when he wasn't saying even vaguely similar in the fixed version.

I think my main problem with King Crimson is that so much of it can just be attributed to The World. That explanation about Narancia dying is something DIO could do, so I end up having to think his power is actually used totally differently, instead of just going to the actual answer. I just tell myself it's server lag and I'm done with it. Also the Buccelati thing just doesn't make sense when you know the rules of his stand (He can't affect people during skipped time). Araki probably didn't have his power down for sure, so things ended up changing, but when you have a confusing stand in a manga that can get confusing already, it doesn't really help.

Yeah, considering it's the finale of the entire storyline I figure he just wanted to go full  with everything that went down. Stuff like Bohemian Rhapsody and everyone freaking out about Sky Rods truly put the Bizarre in the phrase Bizarre Adventure. I can't think of anything from part 6 that I didn't find awesome.Well. Except for what happened to Foo Fighters, at least.

ascalapha odorata posted:I think I've got the gist of it though I'm actually more confused by gold experience than king crimson. But with the translation it's definitely more that the personality is missing and the poignant stuff at the end just becomes weird mush. All you really need to remember about Gold Experience is that two of its early powers (his animals rebounding attacks and his punches making people confused) are used once and then never again, so they essentially don't exist. Other then that, he heals by turning objects into whatever the person's missing (blood cells, limbs, etc).

Eh, I prefer how the anime did it, where Jotaro was called Jojo and they called Joseph Mr. Joestar. If they did part 4, Josuke would get the name and Jotaro would just be Mr. Kujo.

Josuke Higashikata posted:Incidentally, the translator there doesn't like the wiki because they keep reverting his localisation choices to things that are wrong (in his opinion). Isn't Cujoh the Americanized name Jotaro changed to when moving to the west? ASB spells it Kujo for Jotaro and Cujoh for Jolyne.

Eh, I wouldn't say Part 4 is hugely influenced by Dio. Sure, he put parts of it into motion (mostly Okuyasu's dad) but the reasons behind Kira's actions have nothing at all to do with him.

I never really liked the team dynamic in part 5 since for a large part of it you have two people preparing to betray them all anyway, so it feels like a charade. Also I hate Mista. By the end I did start to like them, but then they had to go and kill Narancia, the one I actually started to like as a character. Araki always kills off the guys I like most.

I didn't really mind Annasui but nothing about his character really made any sense. By the end, Diver Down was a completely different stand then it started as, and Annasui's whole reason for being in jail (being obsessed with taking things apart, including his girlfriend) is never brought up ever. Would absolutely take Foo Fighters any day of the week over him though. Foo Fighters was my fav so of course Araki had to kill her..

Yeah, he's using Jonathan's body all the time, along with his stand. Also the whole reason he took 40 days to recover was because he specifically wanted to suck the blood of a Joestar.

That's part of what makes Jojo so much fun. It might not make any sense, and it might actively contradict everything up to this point, but drat if it's not awesome.

Baal posted:I want an opinion from the thread and this is not 100% a guaranteed thing that is going to happen, but if I were to maybe possibly LP JoJo games should I theoretically start in chronological order of game release or game based on series. The former has the benefit of allowing me to show off the changes in both game tech with JoJo games and the trading of the IP to different publishers and how that effects and the other pushes the story in order but forces me to play an insanely lovely game to start and I wouldn't want to maybe set the mood of a theoretical JoJo LP with the worst game first. I'd suggest if you really don't want to play much of a lovely game, just show off a little bit of it and write about why it's bad. There aren't really many Jojo games, but it would suck if you burned out because you felt obligated to play through them entirely.

Stuff like Kira filing off the shoe sizes his old shoes so his new wife doesn't wonder why he's wearing shoes two sizes smaller than usual and practicing writing his new name and handwriting were aspects of the Body Snatcher plot I hadn't seen before and I really liked it. I like to think about how he had to awkwardly get around using people's names at home and work.

FirstAidKite posted:I still love that giorno's big plan for escaping from the guy that can freeze everything is to drive into the ocean I really want to see the new translation for that part. In the original he said it was because the water was already cold, and it would take longer to freeze... or something. I remember seeing a comparison that showed the dialogue for that section being nothing at all like the Japanese though, so I have to wonder if they didn't just make up that explaination.

Josuke = Jolyne > Joseph > Johnny > Jotaro > Jonathan Giorno is, like people said, not really counted cause he's a victim of bad translation. He did have some good parts though, like stealing a hundred cars. Also haven't started part 8, so I obviously can't rate that Jojo.

Yeah, Lucy Steel was baller but they used sexual assault against her so often that it makes it hard to recommend to people sometimes. I don't really think I understood that Cinderella arc. So Koichi didn't like Yukako that much, but she ended up changing her face, which... actually worked? And then the end where Yukako's actual face isn't in the ones Koichi can pick, and it just kinda ends there? I'm guessing that's because of Duwang, cause otherwise, that whole story gave me a really bad vibe.
