I just finished the first Dio/JoJo fight, in the burning mansion. Does the art style get clearer in the future? A lot of the panels, I was struggling to even see what's going on.

Amaryllis posted:Seriously, if your complaint is that the villains' endgame powers don't make narrative or thematic sense, I have a lot of problems with part 6, but that's not one of them. Jail House Lock has to be one of the most distressing stand abilities in JJBA. Weaponized Alzheimer's  (Oh god the irony that I struggled to remember the name Alzheimer's)

JoJolion had just started when I first got into JJBA, and I vowed I'd just wait for it to be finished before I binged through all of it. My patience is being tested, I may end up just catching up and hating the wait.

Reading Pt6, I think I may have found a plot hole. Or at least something that's not explained. DIO's bone, the one the Green Baby is born from: Surely that's not DIO's bone, it's Jonathan's?

My favourite Best Friends JoJo-related thing was the debate of what would be worse: A stand that gives the target brain-freeze or a stand that makes the target poo poo themselves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3vBMmcXSMw

ChaosArgate posted:I can imagine a stand that makes the target poo poo themselves would be a death sentence when combined with Sheer Heart Attack. poo poo-themselves stand would be horrific coupled with Gold Experience Requiem too. Or Jail House Lock. All you can remember is making GBS threads yourself. Oh, hell, D4C. In every universe, you are making GBS threads yourself.

You know, I think Araki's greatest talent is being able to explain stands like D4C, Made in Heaven or King Crimson without it being just one massive infodump.

Yeah, they both just use Japanese school uniforms as a base. Which just gives me the amazing idea of a Diamond is Unbreakable/Cromartie High School crossover.

A friend of mine who is new to JoJo's just asked me a fairly innocuous question that totally stumped me. Does Josuke have the Joestar birthmark? I don't recall it ever being shown, but he'd have to, right?

BlitzBlast posted:Hell if anything, it's important that we never find out who he was. Some random dude decided to ignore his own injuries to help out some complete strangers out of the goodness of his heart. That is far more impactful than Gangster McPompadour helping out some strangers because they reminded him of his past, or because he really liked pushing cars, or some other silly personal reason. Exactly. It's important he's just some random good samaritan who took it upon himself to help some total strangers. So Josuke would go on to be inspired to also be the random good samaritan. Josuke Is A Good Boy.

My least favourite fight is probably Alessi. It's memorable, but it's just kinda dull. I wish it went the same way the old JoJos fighting game went, where Alessi uses Sethan on Joseph...and it turns him into Pt2 Hamon master Joseph.

Then he manages to beat villain stand user JUST by brooding extra hard.

Disappointed in the lack of Pt7 figures, although there's apparently a Gyro coming at some point this year. SORELY tempted by Rohan, though, especially since he comes with Heaven's Door.
