Okay. I got into JoJo during the break between seasons of Stardust Crusaders. Watched all of the show several times, I got a few people into it. Watched the second season as it aired, once the show was over I read part 4.
More recently (since the new season started airing) I've read through the entirety of the rest of JoJo. Now I'm caught up (:ohdear:).

What is the schedule for new volumes being released? Is there a consistent one? I have noticed a lot of the volumes have notes apologizing for hiatuses until the next issue. How quickly after release do they tend to get scanned and translated?

Thanks in advance, I love all the JoJo, sorry I took so long to read it. :love:

Thanks for the info. I'm sad I'll now have to wait a month between new JoJos, but I'm glad I have a new thread to read and post in now that I don't have to worry about spoilers :)
I'm also glad I caught up coinciding with the end of a story arc, it would be a little annoying to catch up and have it stop halfway through a fight.

Also Kira is explicitly a bad guy so it's not like the plot tries to make him seem alright.

This is how I feel. Kira rules because he does terrible things and it's awesome to watch him do these things and eventually get completely destroyed because of them.

Annasui is awful and obsesses over Jolyne and for some reason the story paints him like an actual love interest?

I also forgot that Crazy Diamond and Harvest had big references in Monster Hunter 3G. I've never played a Monty Hunty, but the game had a hammer named Crazy Diamond that could heal your allies. Sadly that name did not survive localization.

It's even better than that. The hammer is literally a model of Crazy D punching, with dora sound effects. (The handle is made of 'do' sounds)

The hammer Japan got was called Crazy D.



Outside of Japan, we got the same DLC quest and functionally the same hammer, but it was called the 'Majestic Scepter'.



Harvest was included as a mask you could put on one of your two helper buddies you can bring on hunts with you. One wearing it would collect money for you that you get at the end of the hunt.



Outside of Japan it was changed to the 'Cosmic Mask' and it is the worst looking thing I have ever seen.

To be honest, I just wanna know how they handle the black sabbath fight in regards to gold experience getting pierced by the arrow and absolutely nothing happening, I'm curious if they'll just keep it and ignore it, if they'll adapt it, or if they'll keep it and write around it

They included DIO using some version of Hermit Purple near the beginning of Stardust Crusaders, which doesn't make a lick of sense*. I don't think they're going to change anything about that.

(*Now everyone start arguing that it's Jonathan's body's Stand, or whatever rationalization people come up with instead of 'Araki Forgot')

Not gonna lie, even knowing that those are supposed to be JoJo characters, I'm having a hard time figuring out who most of them are. If you showed the second one to me without saying they were JoJo characters I probably wouldn't have figured it out. (Except maybe if I saw the green spots on Diavolo?)

I do agree that Valentine is hilarious though.

edit: I just saw Ringo at the top of the second one. I though before I saw that one that Ringo was just up-right of Diavolo. Who is that curly grey haired one?

edit 2: I am a foolish person and I did not look at the source which has an answer key. It's Ghiaccio the fuckin part 5 ice guy. I couldn't recognize him without him wearing a lab coat and the world's worst glasses. He looks way cooler as a dog.

I really still don't understand the rules of Milagro Man.

Also, I still don't like Joshu, but drat if I don't love the design of his Quickman-rear end stand.

e: vv I guess it is the stuff about burning it that throws me off. I understood it as 'You can't get rid of the curse unless someone steals your money, at which point it transfers to them', but I don't really get what burning it has to do with it?

The milagro man's rules:

If you take the money, you get the curse in addition to whoever you took money from

If you destroy the money, whoever you took the money from will be free from the curse

The dude joshuu gave the money back to destroyed the money when he ripped the label of the drink while opening the bottle I guess, because there was money inside of the label that joshuu had nut king called into place to keep it from flying back to him

Okay, now can you explain why the money grew when it was on fire until Joshu woke up on the couch like nothing happened? And then he gets attacked by the money again, and the next page he's just calmly standing and talking to the guy he stole it from?

e: This post sounded weirdly aggressive look back at it. I didn't mean it to, I just didn't understand this chapter very well.
