Rohan should be in every part honestly.

Have a miniseries where he goes around meeting all the JoJos and hating each one.

Just to be clear, I know it wasn't Josuke and I'm not saying I wanted it to be Josuke. Sorry if this keeps coming up or something, I just thought it was weird.

Don't worry, the only reason why it always comes up is because it sticks out to most readers.

The only problem I had with the guy from the past is that I wanted to believe Josuke had that haircut even as a baby.

Stone Ocean honestly ranks pretty low imo but Jolyene is my third favorite JoJo on a bad day, so it's worth the read.

Part 6 is one of the strongest parts of the series. Different strokes for different folks.

Totally, insofar as it's cool if you like Stone Ocean, but I think it made it clear that Araki needed some time to rethink what he wanted to do. SBR is a great because Stands are less a thing onto themselves and more a compliment to a person's natural abilities, and I hope JoJolion doesn't stray too far from it.

One thing I wondered in SBR is that Valentine says that he is the only Valentine with Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, but all these alternate Valentines you see him jump into are in the middle of also fighting Dio and Hot Pants and Johnny and poo poo when they have Stands (Johnny definitely does, you see Tusk act 2 next to him at one point), did he just have a different Stand which got overwritten by Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap?

I mean, that makes sense since the people who get Stands through Corpse Parts don't seem to necessarily get the kind of Stand they would develop on their own, like how Gyro has his eye-ball Stand but when he perfects his Spin he has another one, and alternate Diego just has the World instead of just copying Ferdinand Scary Monsters.

If Rick and Morty taught me anything about alternate dimensions, it's "Don't think about it."

King Crimson is poorly explained so it makes sense that lots of people ask about it, kinda how everyone thinks Josuke being rescued by the dude with the hair might be Josuke through time travel shenanigans.

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.

Uh JoJo's is never going to end. When people start to get too suspicious Araki is going to fake his own death and then start making an oddly similar Western comic in America.

It's hard to call it a "universe reset" when there are so many references to poo poo that happened in the old universe, but ultimately it doesn't matter and the old stuff is just there for fun.

Steel Ball Run is good and right, as is Jojolion so far. The new era of JoJo is far brighter than the last.

Gappy is so loving OP, please do not nerf.

I was hoping that we'd get a little more info out out Karera, but the fact that she's caught on to what happened between Kira and Josefumi is pretty interesting. I get the feeling she's the only one who actually knows the whole story.

I'm trying to recall some terrible Stands from Part 4, but I can't really think of one.

Well, unless you mean Love Deluxe, but we never see the weaknesses of that Stand.

Well there's Super Fly, which trapped its user in its physical manifestation

There's also Cheap Trick, which kills its user outright

Gyro, Johnny, Valentine and Diego (The World ver.) revealed for EoH


Don't really like those colours for Johnny and Gyro but I'm loving that Diego's World looks different like it does in the manga as opposed to being a copy paste of DIO's one.

No Hot Pants yet though, sadly.

e: Also, Gyro has a unique style of fighting "revolution" in addition to horse mode and stand mode.

The World should be riding the horse too, holding onto Diego imo

Ball Breaker always looked less like Mickey Mouse and more like one of those drones since that weird head ornament usually faces downward

I mean, I can certainly get where people see Mickey but I just took a different impression from it.

Moltrey posted:

Yeah, Gyro had two Stands, Scan and Ball Breaker. Scan was from the eye which he lost to Lucy Steel and he naturally gets Ball Breaker. I also totally forget how they explain how Johnny keeps Tusk when Hot Pants takes the arm, she left a small piece inside of him so he would keep Tusk?

Yeah Johnny kept a small fragment of the arm

My interpretation of that wasn't so much "Gyro needs to have a Stand to beat Valentine," it was "The Perfect Spin is so goddamn powerful it made a Stand".

Aurain posted:

That's precisely it. The supplemental chapter even says that mastery of something can give the user a Stand related to it. People take it to explain some things in pre-SBR parts (which might be some of Araki's authorial intent there, to be fair), such as Tonio but most directly, it refers to what eventually gave Gyro his stand. He mastered the spin and it gave him a Stand.


e: I forget if Rohan is an Arrow stander or not, but I'm leaning towards no but editing him out for now.

Rohan is a natural Stand user.
