re-reading part 5 and I realized an interesting comparison between DIO and Diavolo

DIO's big dramatic reveal against the heroes involves him at the top of a flight of stairs, and preventing Polnareff (who is at the bottom) from going up them

Diavolo's big dramatic reveal against the heroes involves him at the bottom of a flight of stairs, and Polnareff (who is at the top) is unable to prevent him from going up them.

Dunno if this was an intended parallel since araki forgets stuff constantly and there was a good six years between scenes, but it's a cool thing all the same.

I'm looking forward to starting the manga when the anime finishes up. This sounds cool.

unless you take a hella long time getting through part 4 prepare to be disappointed because about 3/4th's of part 5 have a garbage translation and in particular the stuff surrounding diavolo is really hosed up

if you can read itallian or japanese try that instead but otherwise curb your enthusiasm

Aren't you a downer haha. Thanks for the heads up though.

How is the Part 3 official release? I'm thinking of ordering physical copies off of Amazon. Support the official release and all that stuff.

It's good.

They censored two dog deaths, changed a few names (Steely Dan, Enya, Oingo Boingo), and took part in the post-Quran outburst Cairo edits, but otherwise it's good.

Give them money so that we can get Part 4.

Done

If you want to wait a bit they are currently releasing Jojoniums which are hardcover versions of the volumes starting with Phantom Blood. One comes out only every couple of months so it will be a while before they get through Stardust Crusaders. I haven't seen anyone really complain about the old SC release, but if you want to try one out it is all available digitally on comixology as well.

I just ordered the first three volumes already lol

I will definitely do that for Battle Tendency when they get to it.

They already have my money for the DVD's. I bought them in a drunken haze while I was in Vegas.

I'm going through part 4 now and it's really good. Some unique stands compared to part 3.

Can someone explain how Koichi was able to call Josuke with his stand? It doesn't make sense to me.


Also, c'mon I'm sure everyone here had at least one weirdo stalker in highschool. Mine was pretty aggressive though not quite to this extent.

What about it confuses you?

It slapped the dial tone sound onto her arm right? But how did that make it call Josuke's house?

Koichi is the real protagonist of part 4 isn't he? I'm okay with that because I like him.

So, from what I can gather, Rohan is just Araki's self insert character.

I think Rohan is my favourite character from part 4 aside from Josuke.

I've been watching Gintama a lot lately and I watched an episode where the main character (voiced by Sugita) said that Araki was a beautiful manga writer that never ages. I thought it was pretty funny.

Apparently it is? From what I heard Japanese doesn't have pronouns per sé, but nouns that just regularly get used as pronouns, and that's why children tend to use their names as pronouns as well or something? Point is children don't do that in English and not having them use pronouns instead of names is just lovely translating.

littleorv is starting to understand.
