I was about to say Kira didn't kill any named characters aside from some weird middle schooler, but then I remember when he strode into Cinderella's, got a new face and blew the gently caress outta that place.

he nailed the entire team with bites the dust, it just got rolled back before it could take

The only part i didn't like from Part 4 was the invisible baby. It was both pointless and not very fun, from what i remember they just found the baby then got it some diapers and that was it. If they did more with it it wasn't very memorable. Superfly was cool because having a radio tower with the special ability of not letting the last person leave is funny.

the end is loving primo joseph and if we cut it they'd have to explain why rohan steals a baby in rps kid

I know that. I was just saying that since I have access to the official Chinese translation of Part 5, I can theoretically pull a Duwang and make a half way decent translation, especially since the good one has stopped half way.

two chapters of the new one came out last week

What did making Giorno drink piss not accomplish?

i just read that bit again and it owned. giorno turning one of his teeth into a jellyfish so he wouldn't have to drink the piss was funny as hell and one of the best uses of a stand in the series.

Stone ocean gave me fight fatigue, they needed to spend more time in Burnin Down the House hanging out

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

"I... Must see this guy's back"

i like the blurb araki wrote where he talks about how people are intimidated to meet him because they think he's like rohan irl

Hello JoJo thread, I just finished the anime a couple weeks ago and now I can't get enough of these big burly men punching and posing. I dipped my toes into Steel Ball Run a bit when the show was still going since that seemed like a fresh break and I didn't want to spoil the ending of Part 3 by going straight to 4, but when the anime ended I put that on halt and read all of Part 4 in two days or something because it was absolutely brilliant.

Now that I'm (steel) balls deep I suppose I might as well keep going straight onto 5 and on until I'm all caught up. I'd just like some clarification on which translation of Vento Aureo to read (and I'm sorry to bring this up again, but I read through the thread and am still a bit confused) - is the JoJo Project one the best one? I grabbed a PDF batch from somewhere to read on my phone and the translation quality has seemed alright to me so far, but I'm only about two volumes in. I think I'm going to go ahead with Part 5 regardless, but I'd just like some clarification on which scans to avoid and which to get.

better translation's only done up through the first few fights (it stops halfway through man in the mirror) so you're pretty much stuck with the old bad ones after that. last time i went through part 5 i just used what's up on batoto and it was fine, don't know if you can batch download from there or not. if you get burned out on part 5, part 6's translation's better and part 5's pretty much self-contained so if you feel like skipping ahead you won't miss much plot-wise

Since there's a lot of question about which part has good scans and translation and colour and whatnot, would there be any interest in compiling an effortpost of sorts, with what Part has what?

I'm about 75% done with DiU and it's kind of disheartening to think about how what comes ahead is pretty impenetrable.

that's not really true, it's just part 5 that's not so good right now and there's people working on it

Jolyne is just a very hardcore gal. She's lighting herself on fire and having a lot of confidence everywhere in her fights. The Planet Waves fight is so good because it's an absolute slugfest versus a 100kg prison guard on standroids. But I agree that the pacing is very exhausting to the middle/late middle point. Around Bohemian Rhapsody it gets better.

Anyway, anyone re-read Jojolion lately? I was not a fan of the slow burn but it has a lot of drama and horror elements to it that really help the mood of the story.
And Josuke is growing to be one of my favorite Jojos at the moment. He's basically the most macho jojo yet.

i go in and reread it every few months so i can keep the big plot points fresh and it's so loving good. pretty much every fight so far's been golden and josuke's a top-loving-tier protagonist
