i come back from work and you are all rude to johnny joestar, a jojo so cool that he will straight-up kill a man for gyro

also i'd only recommend watching the ova after watching the anime because it's chopped up all to poo poo

can't really go much deeper than 'the jojo wakes up naked in the ground and has amnesia' without spoiling the plot, so what's there now is probably just as fitting

Why did Josuke's mom freeze his bank accounts after he won and start charging him for meals? Since she froze his account he can't get at the money so how is he supposed to pay for food?

i'm pretty sure she would have been able to access it due to being his mom and all and with him being a minor but overall it's probably just meant as a joke, as meat wife said

all SBR does is reel them back in compared to the previous arcs. even D4C is a pretty simple concept despite being entirely off the wall

it being a stranger fits in with the idea that morioh is filled with people who are generally fairly kind when it counts, an idea which carries throughout the arc itself and helps point out why kira is so gross and unnatural in the setting. i'm sure some people would absolutely love it to be some dumb time poo poo going on but i honestly prefer it the way it is now.

if they don't bring back roundabout at least once then i'll be mildly disappointed. i'm not one to cling to poo poo past when it's needed, but if there's any time to use it it'd be during DIO.

i think jotaro comments at some point that it's difficult for him to keep it up as much as he could before due to getting older and probably more fatigued in general from fighting

something like that, at least

I can't tell if people are trying to purposefully spoil star platinum being able to stop time in the anime thread or if they're legit just jumping through hoops and coming to that conclusion naturally

to be fair, it was pretty heavy-handed about the whole 'OUR STANDS ARE SIMILAR EXCEPT MINE IS COOLER AND PRETTIER, JOTARO' thing

i just kinda figured people would get the idea that over time dio PROBABLY had sex with some people based on aurain's post, which isn't exactly a huge leap in thinking to make.

and then, you know, actual direct link to the fact that one of dio's kids is an important character

once again, considering how the anime people (person?) are being all weird about joseph, i have to genuinely wonder what their reaction to arc 4 will be given the whole josuke thing and also old(er) joseph. even with grandpa joseph doing his cool thing i'm sure people will still be complaining he's not swinging around like goddamn spiderman with hermit purple even though he's earned the title of literally the longest-living joestar.

arc 4 is where the series hits Pure Jojo's and if an anime person can't handle that then they're probably not going to enjoy any of the rest of the series. i can already imagine some will complain that there's less outrageously muscled dudes later on even though that in the first place was only a product of the time when the series was made, so who knows.

i already have a theory about gappy's other half based on the picture of him and what information we have on how kira and his stand are in the jojolion universe, but i guess i'll wait until the translations come out to post it. it's some minor poo poo but it has to do with who all gappy's other half might be a combo of.

yeah, i don't think that even a good translation will magically make him more interesting. his stand and dual-personality thing are neat but other than that i never gave a poo poo about him, which doesn't bode well given that other antagonists manage to be interesting along with having cool stands.
