josuke gets pissed because in his head people are insulting his hero, a really cool dude who literally saved his life at no reward whatsoever.

nothing says we're gonna wait a year, anyways. could happen sooner for all we know, at least as far as just the confirmation goes. not like it'd make the anime arrive any faster, but It'll Happen Eventually for better or worse.

arc 4 is when he fully settles into what the series is all about, and from there it's just building on that. stardust crusaders still has issues in regards to araki figuring out what he's doing but when it finally clicks it's great.

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.

okay i said i'd do this and i'm gonna put it under a spoiler i guess since it's dumb nerd poo poo

i pretty much worked backwards on this using the info given about kira. since he's pretty much a combo of, you know, kira and...jotaro or whatever i figured that gappy's other half has a good chance of being a combo if they're someone we already sorta technically kinda know. which they are, given that josefumi is basically a 'new' version of josuke if the looks are anything to go by. josefumi's looks are sorta what tipped me off to begin with, and then i thought back to how new kira was implemented. his stand was still killer queen, but it made like exploding bubbles or some poo poo, so it's been established that stands are most likely a combination of various stands from arc 4. gappy's stand is also a combination of killer queen's bubble poo poo and something from josefumi's stand that lets it remove 'things' from stuff. at least, i'm assuming this, because him sharing the bubble thing with kira was pretty obvious and it stands to reason that gappy's stand is literally just a hosed-up mishmash of the stands of his two halves just like he's a hosed-up mishmash of them.

anyways, i was thinking as to what stand could do some 'removal' poo poo that was most likely in arc 4, and the answer was really goddamn obvious. okuyasu's hand is like 100% right on the money and i'm pretty loving confident that josefumi was sort of a mix of josuke and okuyasu. he probably still had crazy diamond (if killer queen is any clue) but chances are it did some weird poo poo like 'removing' stuff from things which isn't too far of a stretch when you consider crazy diamond, i guess. like i said, josefumi's looks also kinda made me think this, because to me he kinda looks like he has a combo of okuyasu's and josuke's hair and i guess something about his posture made me think of okuyasu. honestly this is all some minor theory poo poo but it's fun to consider that gappy is like a big, weird combo of jotaro/kira/josuke/okuyasu.

considering that arc 7 and 8 seem to have a theme of lumping previous jojos together i'm kinda hoping that a theoretical arc 9 has a remix of jolyne in it. maybe with elements of giorno in some way, minus the obvious dio influence.

familial bonds are super tight in the jojo's universe so when pucci absorbs the power of dio and gets the birthmark, weather report does as well. it can probably be explained in the same way as how the members of the family can sense each other's presence.

e: i guess i'll spoiler this

spoiler-tagging plot poo poo for a bit would be good, i suppose, but since this is the 'general' thread it would be nice if that wasn't the norm for too long. an arc 4 reading thread would definitely be the best place for anime people who probably shouldn't be subjected to discussion of how king crimson works yet.

WickedHate posted:

Nope. Tonio and a few others were never hit by the stand. So many stand users are in the same town because it's explained that stand users are naturally drawn to each other.

yeah, an interesting thing about tonio is that he was basically so good at doing something he really enjoyed that he basically developed a stand built entirely around it. it ties in a lot with the whole 'potential' thing, especially if you think of the arrow as just something that jumpstarts the process.

if jolyne hadn't at least broken romeo's nose or some poo poo i'd be wondering why, because none of the joestars after johnathan are even remotely saints and it would be super weird if she didn't want at least a tiny bit of revenge on a dude who, ultimately, still had a hand in sending her to prison.

jojolion is good and it's basically a remix of arc 4 with the production values of steel ball run. we don't even know the main antag yet (maybe???) but so far i have a hard time believing it won't be amazing all the way throughout.

johnny has the early jojos on lockdown, so gappy has more to do with the next couple than anything. if/when there's another arc after jojolion i'm expecting arcs 5 and 6 to come into play, which would honestly be a good stopping point given how stone ocean was the 'end' of the previous run of things.

nothing's confirmed yet but things definitely are pointing towards SPEED KING being a main antagonist stand. most of what's missing is a motive for joubin to be actively hostile.

Sir Ilpalazzo posted:

I'm not so sure on that last bit. Unless I'm forgetting or have overlooked something, it feels more likely to me that Jobin was just dealing with the rockmen crime syndicate (to save his son). Is there reason to believe Jobin is the boss aside from his stand being potentially really powerful?

yeah, i'm personally having a hard time believing that joubin is involved with the rock people for any reason other than trying to save his kid. if i remember correctly, the one-sided 'conversation' the rock dude with the tornado stand had with him sounded kinda off and like joubin would be in a lovely situation if something went south as the rock guy was straight-up ready to start telling him to kill his kid, which suggests that the rock people don't know joubin's real motives.

then again we don't have everything to go off of. i just don't see a motive yet for joubin to be the antagonist.

i feel like he's gonna come into play later and have to make a difficult choice, but it'll be siding with the 'good' crew eventually. i mean, yeah, he's kinda been sinister as gently caress so far, but the whole goddamn family is eccentric as gently caress and i'm certain he's mixed up in this to save tsurugi.

i think i err on the side of liking arc 6's ending mostly because i kinda saw it as something that would happen eventually. the series starts out with falling into a lot of themes that we all know and recognize in other shows today, but over time araki started to break away more and more. it was only a matter of time before the major plot point was that someone had a stand whose quirky power was absolutely deadly for everyone involved and something bittersweet would happen. hell, even arc 7 has the whole thing with gyro and the deal that valentine tries to strike with johnny. if anything, stone ocean probably came a little too early and might have done better if there'd been an arc between it and vento aureo, but i'm pretty sure that a 'stone ocean' of some sort was due at some point.

the joestar bloodline was fated to fight dio until their last, after all. now they're free. and what a ride it was.
