while this is true. pretty much every part that isn't 3 has a dogshit translation. 4 is the nearest thing to a decent one and only the invincible trio version. 7 is also pretty good most of the way through but about halfway there's some shaky poo poo.

Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with the ones for parts 6-8?

Edit: Wait, does this also count the VIZ translation for 1 and the first volume of 2?

I think he's talking about the color ones. I remember him saying that they were awful in the last thread.

JoJo's colored adventure. I think they're doing it with B&W scans too so you don't have to read it in color if you don't want to. They're not done yet though.

I thought it was pretty refreshing that the new time master of SBR wasn't the final boss but some dude in a cabin like halfway through the story. Note that I said new, so don't get snippy and bring up the return of The World.

Jotaro doesn't master Star Platinum until he's out of his coma. It loses all of its durability, changes appearance but gets a flat 5 second time stop. It's technically a different stand though if you want to nit pick it.

Isn't his time stop in Part 4 already a flat 5 seconds?

I assume Josuke followed the fellow good citizens of Morioh and opened something like a Repair store, antiques shop or health clinic. Something to provide remarkable service like Tonio and Cinderella (RIP).

IIRC, Crazy Diamond works by actually reverting something to a prior state, and it can only go back so far; probably more than an hour but less than a day. So it wouldn't help with diseases, unless it had a weirdly short eclipse phase.

It's definitely longer than a day. It restored Fungami to how he was before his accident, which was definitely at least a few days before Josuke recruited him for the Enigma fight.

Okuyasu's dad must be on the outer edge of the upper limit for restoration because Josuke could restore the torn up photo that couldn't have been destroyed much later than when Okuyasu's dad became that beast.

Someone on MAL said that The World having all of the Joestar's abilities would make sense considering that he was able to heal (via Crazy Diamond) Pucci's messed up foot.

I'm not sure I buy that, but do we ever get an explanation of how Dio did that?

Not that I know of. Maybe he did something similar to when he revived Vanilla Ice?

Morioh itself is basically a character, it'd be a shame if we didn't get to experience as much of it as we could.

The Cinderella arc really is kind of a low point for Part 4 for me since I don't particularly care for Yukako. If she didn't drop off the face of the Earth right after that arc ended and had more of a proactive role in the hunt for Kira, maybe I'd like it a little more, but as it stands, it's really just a set up for Kira -> Kosaku.

SC is a pretty rad roadtrip/globetrotting story with bonus fight scenes and punchghosts thrown in. :v:

So when do new JoJolion chapters come out? I finally caught up and now I've joined the club of people who have to wait a month for new chapters. :( I guess I could start on Part 5, but I wanna wait until either JJCA's about 3/4 of the way done or if Viz picks it up first.

He does it to Erina too at his own "funeral" by sneaking up behind her and covering her eyes and I'm amazed she didn't kill him for real on the spot. Never change, Joseph.

To be fair, he didn't even know it was his own funeral. I assume he was just trying to cheer up his friends before realizing the truth.

I have a question about part 4. It's very good and all, but I noticed that Tamami and Hazamada have shrunk for some reason. I know they were normal person sized before when they were a threat, but now they are barely taller than Koichi. Why is that?

A popular explanation is that it's a visual metaphor for how intimidating they were to Koichi, but after they were beaten, he no longer saw them as a threat, so they were brought down to his level, literally.

Not publicly. They only just finished the PB/BT dub so I'm doubtful they're going to give us the SC dub anytime soon. Chances are, they might be waiting to see how well the dub sells before greenlighting SC.

No, it was SBR, it's just that the jump didn't really affect volume size.

Longer chapters just means fewer chapters per volume.

No, the jump definitely did affect volume size. The first 5 volumes of SBR clocked in at around 200 pages, but the rest of the volumes hover around the 150 mark.

BT yes, volume one's been translated and up for sale digitally for 4 months now with no volume 2 in sight yet, but that probably won't impact the physical releases. SC probably won't get Jojonium releases overseas since you can still buy the separate volume releases of that.

I thought Echoes Act 2 was way better than Act 3. It used to be able to paint the effects of comicbook sound effects onto any surface which is a really smart and Jojo power you could do alot with, then it lost that for the ability to inflict a slow debuff using the power of terrible Japanese puns! Really seemed like a downgrade

Also finished Stone Ocean the other day; really grim seeing the entire cast getting killed basically as an afterthought, Jolyne has the only person even to get a Zepelli-esque moral victory out of it. Weather Report's final attack was a really smart way of turning around Made in Heaven's tremendous bullshit back on itself in a logical way though, I did like that. Now, onto Steel Ball Run!

At least Koichi can use all three versions of Echoes at will. :v: If you don't believe me, think back to the fight he had with Kira, where he decides to use Echoes Act 1 to scout out the area because it has the longest range of 50m, and then uses Act 2 later to throw Sheer Heart Attack off his trail.

I can't believe there hasn't been a main Jojo villain whose power is freezing things and they end up evolving their Stand to the point where they can freeze time.

That seems Araki enough to have been a thing by now.

You could reasonably argue that Dio did that in his transition from vampire to vampire with a stand.
