Part 5 has a lot of really drat good fights, actually. Off the top of my head, the Train Battle, White Album, Bruno vs. King Crimson, King Crimson vs. Metallica and Oasis and Green Day are all hella sick and up there among the best JoJo fights of them all.

Darko posted:Until Gold Experience Requiem shows up with its Stand power of "nope, nuh uh, you cant' do anything to me" When you think about it, it's actually pretty funny the the most broken Stand power ever is literally the final argument of a petulent child throwing a tantrum while playing pretend.

Part 5 has a scene where Giorno shoots a dude in the head with a bullet, turns it into a beetle that starts eating the dude's brain and then follows that poo poo up with four double spreads worth of beatdown. What I'm trying to say is that anybody who says Part 5 is bad is wrong on every level.

Dragonatrix posted:Speaking of which, goddrat was Angelo's defeat really loving dark. Josuke can do some real hosed up stuff with Crazy Diamond if he sets his mind to it. Hey now, Crazy Diamond totes has the kindest Stand ability. Also if any motherfucker watched the latest episode and their enjoyment of it was somehow diminished because the road roller didn't explode or because there wasn't a ten second clip of Josuke at the end or whatever you really need to take a deep breath and then punch yourself in the face until you've knocked the disease out of your brain.

Xibanya posted:I've started reading Diamond is Unbreakable, and you guys are absolutely right. There's a TON of worldbuilding going on. The difference in the way the setting is handled is like night and day. I'm gonna have to make a post comparing Jojo's Bizarre Adventure with itself. Yeah, it's pretty darn neat isn't it? Araki more or less keeps reinventing the series as he goes along and it does a wonderful job of keeping JoJo from turning stale. Bad Seafood posted:Part 7 is probably my (and a ton of other people's) favorite part. You can really see, reading it, how Araki's changed and matured over the years, distilling the best parts of his previous efforts into one harmonious whole, or almost. Then you turn the page and a character who was short and fat before is now tall and built because thirty years later Araki's still capable of changing his mind. Hey now, that's legit. Finding Jesus totally can change a man.

Meme Emulator posted:My favorite part re: Jolyne is that shes consistently drawn with an aggressive face and hard arms and legs... ... ... ...except when shes under the influence of Jail House Lock, then Araki starts drawing her much more conventionally attractive. Maybe Arakis into confused, easily exploitable women. Actually I'd say that she's consistently drawn with an aggressive face and hard arms and legs except when she's being a big ol' goof. It's just that Jail House Lock is like 80-90% Jolyne being a big ol' goof.

Prison Warden posted:One thing I've noticed, I dunno if it's an evolution of something I missed out on in Part 5 that was Araki's style developing (I think not though) is that Jolyne really comes across like she actually knows how to fight, in a way previous Jotaro and Josuke didn't. Jotaro mostly just stood by and let his stand do the punching, occasionally throwing a few ORAs using his actual hands occasionally, Josuke is the same (except with DORA). Jolyne, however, as well as being a lot more kick heavy, seems to stand in actual martial arts stances, and does a lot more of just outright hitting someone rather than having Stone Free do everything (though she lets it get in a few ORAs here and there). Jolyne gets her hands dirty (also turned inside out). Both Jotaro and Josuke tried to look like delinquents but were total softies on the inside. Jolyne is a punk for real.

Prison Warden posted:So I thought Valentine had lost some weight, but I figured it must be my imagination... then there is this panel where Valentine is walking away from Lucy and Araki draws attention to the loud clacking noise his shoes make on the floor, and I remember that Scarlet says that the reason she fell in love with him was because he never made a single sound when he walked anywhere, no matter what. Something is definitely up here. All in all, I think the movement to a monthly format, and another magazine I guess, is good because this kind of subtle thing just isn't something you often see in normal shounen without a character specifically calling it out to make sure you notice. Feast your eyes on the glory that is Buffentine.

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:How popular is Jojo in Japan? Like the entire series overall. Is it held in high regard? It's one of Shueisha's top ten best-sellers, so it's pretty dang popular. Also, as mentioned, it has been influential as all hell. Rodyle posted:I am a huge, huge baby about bad scans these days, so I think I will set 5 and 6 aside until they're all patched up then. The scans for part 6 are good, and besides that skipping parts is for uncool people.

Jolyne is extremely petty. This is one of the things that makes her great. I mean, seriously, if you didn't find her splitting Romeo's tongue just because to be the funniest poo poo I don't even want to know what's wrong with you.

SkeletonHero posted:Maybe not, since things can still kind of move during the stops if the momentum behind them is strong enough. If Dio can throw knives a few feet, then Earth probably rotates as normal. No, things can move if DIO moves them. Everything else freezes no matter how much momentum they have.

A Steampunk Gent posted:Pucci's problem is he's pretty sober and underspoken guy in a series famous for its insanely fabulous scenery chewing hams. He's actually a pretty effective villain, but he's never going to stick in people's minds the same way as Dio 'meme' Brando or the guy who said 'what a beautiful duwang' with the really sick tie. I think Kars is underrated too though, he's just such an incredible prick, which contrasts with Wamuu's decency and honour really well and once he gets his powerup he's probably as flamboyant as any villain ever is in the series It says something about a series when the guy who randomly turns people into living record players blasting Händel's Hallalujah Chorus is remembered as the sober and underspoken guy. Aurain posted:My favourite part of Pucci's back story is that even though he's a black man, he manages to convince the KKK to kill his white brother for being mixed race. Araki is weird. He didn't know that the guy he hired was part of the KKK though. Also the KKK wouldn't have considered Wes as white, what with the one-drop rule and all, whereas they would have considered Pucci as white enough to deal with, especially when there was good money involved. Honestly Pucci's backstory is surprisingly realistic for a portrayal of race relations in the deep south given that it's in a cartoon made on the other side of the world.

Jolyne is the best and coolest, mostly due to how drat tough she is. While being on the recieving end of gruesome injuries and other unpleasant stuff is pretty part and parcel of the Joestar life, the sheer amount of poo poo that life throws at her is just something else. And then she powers through all that without losing a single step. Jolyne's basically the goddamn Terminator.
