Dear JoJo animators,
Please include alt universe Foo in Irene's hitchhiker's pickup scene.
TIA

She's already there though. In the raindrops.

Just finished part 5 and that means, other than the Rohan stuff, I'm all caught up on the jojos. Thanks for all the excellent translations, Dan!

I'm glad I didn't read it before the good translation was done. Those of you who did, what are the dumbest mistakes in the old version? I already know about the Venice -> Vienna stuff. I'm baffled how someone can gently caress up that badly. There are panels showing the group moving from one Italian city to another. How does Vienna even enter the picture? :psyduck:

Haha, drat. I'm starting to think they just couldn't recognize proper nouns.

Also, the way that panel's cut off makes Gio's hair look like rampaging pubes.

neat! i really hope it's less of a boring grind than the first one, I felt bad that I could never make that far in it.

also people who say the oil tanker is better than the road roller because the oil tanker explodes are a buncha DumbAsses

I just used cheat engine to give everyone a level or two at every new location. Worked out well enough, without making things too easy.

The rng bullshit was still annoying as gently caress.

C-moon was cool but what I'm confused about is that the green baby was a person who had his own stand, but then he became a stand himself? How does that even work? Where did his stand go?

If only he could have turned Jotaro's harpoon into a hummingbird and flown it up Pucci's rear end... If only...

Plot twist: Emporio killing Pucci didn't actually do poo poo, Gio just got bored of the new universe after five minutes and reset everything with his stand.

The pillar men would become the major antagonists then, except Jonathan might be around to fill in a role similar to Joseph's from part 3

Except Jonathan would have no reason to learn hamon without vampire Dio. The Zeppelis would become the protagonists.

I thought Holly's condition was due to the family curse.

And speaking of family, I wonder how Josefumi ties into the Joestar bloodline. He had a birthmark too, right?

Josuke's bubbles aren't actually made of strings, it was just some hair from when he was shaving that morning.

Olive! posted:

I also don't know how the fruit is supposed to make her better. Is someone going to equivalent exchange over the parts of their brain that she has holes in?

I don't even know what the fruit did to Josefumi/Kira. The ground could mix up the lemon and the tangerine on its own.

Dragonwagon: Mar 28, 2010; And that, as much as anything else, led to my drinking problem.

Ok I have a theory: you know how Yasuho gave Josuke his name because he kinda looked like a dog she used to have? What if she buried the dog near the lone pine and the dead dog took part in the equivalent exchange with Josefumi and Kira? That's why Josuke looks like the dog. The dog itself came back to life and became that weird dog that we see before the first rock guy is introduced. It is also the cause of the bite marks.

Josuke Higashikata posted:

I saw it all as hallucinations. The clip's essentially capitalising on her worst fears to drive her to suicide.

She wants to be cute for her dad so she's seeing severe dandruff.
She doesn't want to be unpopular so she realises she messed up about the birthday and then suddenly she gets 35 texts saying she's a total prick. There's probably significance to them being mostly the same too... maybe
She's scared her mom is trying to keep her away from her dad, so then her dad, who's suggested to be loving, suddenly wants to abandon her for a new family and child.

It's mentioned that it takes away, so it's taking everything she valued and Holly mentions finding something she's looking for?

That's my take on it but I agree that it's real clumsily written and
~~~~~~~~~uuuuuuuuuu~~~~~~~~~~~ translations don't help.

That was my take on things as well.

I really expected Iron Maiden to be the stand of a Jojo. I mean there's a theme going starting with Jotaro where the stand names have a material in them. Then Johnny fucks it up.

Expect My Mom posted:

but no i actually disagree and I think Josuke and Joseph's relationship is actually pretty cool. It feeling underdeveloped is probably because it is, they only see each for one summer of their lives, but it's arc is so good.

Josuke initially wanting nothing at all to do with Joseph, not even taking his FREE money is really interesting for a Shounen Father/Son dynamic, especially so in a generational story like JoJo. But Joseph is forced to enter the story anyway, and Josuke understands this and accepts it reticently, but now he has to take care of his almost invalid father he's never met and he's short, rude and impatient with him because of course he absolutely would be, this situation loving sucks for him. But Joseph's selfless sacrifice and sincerety turns him somewhat around. Josuke becomes willing to spend time with him, while still keeping him from arms length, not letting him ever meeting Tomoko which speaks to Josuke's emotional intelligence, doing that would only be bad for everyone.

As they depart, he's come to understand and respect Joseph, but things are always going to be kind of weird. Their relationship isn't a heartbreaking departure, but Josuke extorting him for his whole wallet. They missed their chance to be a cool family, which is a bummer because they would've gotten along great if things were different, but this is about as close as they'll get all things considering. It's a really different look at Shonen Protagonists And Their Dads, both then and especially now considering things like Boruto and My Hero Academia looking at father figures

Yeah, it's a good story arc. I just wanted to see some more of the two of them interacting. Or even better, the three Jojos doing something together.

The one thing that really bothered me about Joseph in part 4 though was that he came to Morioh specifically to find a bad guy, then the second half of the story is about finding a bad guy but he does nothing.
