LORD OF BUTT posted:I meant in terms of how you get them, there's a bajillion different ways and not really any rhyme or reason to it pre-SBR but in SBR it's all Corpse Parts all the time. That's not even true, plenty of people get stands from the Devil's Palm, which is even more mysterious than the meteor arrows from the other parts.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:Is it accurate that Araki didn't make Fugo have to fight Giorno's group because he found the idea of a traitor disgusting? They have that listed on Fugo's JJBA wiki page. I heard that he had Fugo leave the group because he was having trouble figuring out how to work his stand into fights, because it was too powerful. But the only trivia about Fugo on the wiki that has any citation is "According to Araki, Fugo actually wears a thong." so....

The Cioccolatta fight always felt like the real climax of part 5 to me. Part of it is that everything surrounding the Diavolo fight is so confusing and weird, but also that beatdown is just so great. GioGio even slips in a WRYYYYY at the end!

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:I've started to read part 6, and it's good but I have some questions about Jotaro. First off, is he aging in reverse? When he was 16 he looked like he was 36, and now that he's 36 or so he looks like he's 16. Second, why could Dio gradually train his The World and get time to stop more and more for him, and Jotaro can't get more than 2 seconds even though his stand's development stat is equal (or greater?) than Dio's? Plus this isn't Joseph, Jotaro has been active with his stand powers after his part of the story and he's now been using his stand longer than Dio. Him looking younger is just an art style thing. Joseph aged slower because of the ripple but Jotaro doesn't have it at all. Jotaro probably COULD develop his stand to stop time for longer, but he's gotten rusty. It's not like stopping time for a few seconds is useful for writing grant applications. It was also a lower limit in part 4 for the same reason, but it's even less in part 6.

Bad Seafood posted:I hope they keep Annasui's sex switch in the anime. It's not mysterious, he became Swole Valentine when he accepted Jesus into his heart. Well, his whole torso, really. But I do hope they keep him hanging out with like skinny Valentine and mustachioed Valentine for a couple scenes early on. Its nice foreshadowing.

Torquemadras posted:
It doesn't matter which one of them survived, as long as at least one did. D4C works by moving from one Valentine to the next when they're mortally wounded, bringing the memories of Valenprime with it. So if the "real" Valentine had died, it would just attach itself to a different one. The only limitation of D4C is that it can't travel between dimensions on its own. The current Valenprime had to do it.

Deltasquid posted:I wished all his jokes got some sort of explanation at the end of the chapter because either they're forced and weird or totally lost in translation. The one Diego makes sounds like it would've been amazing in a terrible way judging by the translator's note, but some are just left as this weird nonsensical translation and I always wonder what the Japanese pun was. I thought it was translated pretty well, it's just a really lame joke. Which makes it hilarious when combined with Diego's incredibly smug look. I wish got more of him hanging out with Johnny and Gyro.

Iserlohn posted:Don't they have a history together? I thought during the flashback before he gets Tusk Act 2 it shows his dad showing favor to Diego over him, paralleling the relationship in Phantom Blood. No that's Johnny's older brother who dies when Danny (the pet rat who was released into the wild) scares his horse. Which is just one of those JoJo things that could have turned out to mean something but didn't. Dio is just another very skilled and popular British jockey.

It sounds like at least one of them basically hate read the whole series. And I mean, part 1 isn't great but saying that it's so bad that it's unethical to reprint it seems to be going a bit far.

Aha! The Araki SaidTM is from the author's note for part 8 volume 2:quote:The "lion" in the title"Jojolion" means things like "blessed thing", "evangelistic", and "commemorative seal". It's a word from ancient Greek or something like that. By combining this word with "Jojo", I've meant for the title to signify the existence of the protagonist "Jousuke" in this world. It's also used in the name of the tragic king in a Greek myth called "Pigmalion" as well as the Japanese animation "Evangelion", but I'm not sure if it has to do with the same idea. In the end, like everything in JoJo, it's because it sounds cool.

JJL vol. 5 author's note posted:There are some things I just kinda have fun drawing. Previously, I really enjoyed doing the character Polnareff's hairstyle, the original Jousuke's hairstyle, Killer Queen's whole design, and Soft & Wet's ears. Those sort of drawings where you draw them up with a "swish swish", I go "Ooh!" from the impression it gives myself. This time, I have a lot of fun drawing Yasuho-chan's skirt and don't want to let anyone else draw it, but whenever I do draw it, I always think the flowers on the skirt have got to feel lumpy on her butt so she can't sit down. Are you okay, Yasuho? I'm a little worried. Araki is good and pure.

Pork Pie Hat Kid is one of my favorite fights in SBR. Johnny hiding under a rock in the desert from those big hooks coming out of feathers floating in the air is such a great image. It's the first real crazy stand fight in that part, and the first time it really switches gears into horror.

The whole napkin analogy works especially well with the time period SBR was set in. Things like the gauge of trails and the wattage of electricity and what kind of fuel would power cars were actually happening, and the ripples of those decisions still effect us today. Valentine is not only a quintessentially American villain, but a 19th century American villain. Araki is a good writer.

Also they confirm that the people with Valentine's hair that were hanging out with him early on weren't alternate reality Valentines, just his underlings who copy his hairstyle. Lucy Steel should have gotten more chances to actually use her stand, it was really cool.
