but yeah like, I have no idea what onomatopoeia I would use in English to represent the lighting of a fire or that something is hot, but Japanese has Juuuuu that Koichi uses, stuff like that

It's a shame, if he'd bust out Act 2 to pull off some "zawa zawa zawa" whenever poo poo is getting real, he'd be the best Jobro ever.

For all the ragging on Koichi, he's still more useful than, I dunno, let's say Avdol. Sheer Heart Attack is so good.

He gets a big wound on his head when Kakyoin hits the real one. He just was using clones for most of the fight.

I think Surface would be a closer example to Black Sabbath, since Hazamada can't just bring it out whenever he wants.


That too.

Surface is also a Stand that's bound to a physical object, though.

I do hope we get, like, a little more info on Moody Blues' time range becuase what we have right now is a perfect eavesdropping/blackmail device. Rewind to Your Boss at the secret meeting yesterday. Rewind to someone typing in their computer password. Rewind to your coworker singing dumb songs at his cat and film it.

Normal people can't see Stands, so filming it isn't the best idea.

I mean I still like part 5 it's just that with Gold Experience, when anything seems possible, nothing is surprising.

Gold Experience is my least favourite main character Stand for the exact reasons you outline in this post, but I don't think it's ever as bad again. Plus, come on, Sticky Fingers is great so this part gets a pass, I think.

There's probably a Stand out there that can tell you what someone's stand abilities are by reading Jotaro's PhD thesis or something. Either that or Keicho hacked the Speedwagon foundation's lovely 90s computers.

Whenever Rohan Kishibe is not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Rohan?"

I was worried that the new opening wouldn't be able to top the glory that is Fighting Gold, but Great Days is objectively the best. Now this excites me.

Giorno just got his stand, so I like to imagine a stand's powers can be a bit more broad and ill defined until the user settles into it. Star Finger is the same thing. It doesn't really hold water but eh who cares.

Been trying to watch the HxH series based on this thread and being a long time YuYu fan but I find the core cast of characters to just be totally unendearing. There are three different variations on “flips into super badass psychopath mode” wish fulfillment characters and nobody is all that likable except maybe Gon because he’s just a sweet child.

It's funny to me you excluded the one character who might be an actual legit psychopath.

I gotta say, Clash/Crash is one of my favourite Stand localisations so far.

Man, everyone aside from Giorno is a loving moron this episode, jesus.

I've always been curious about how Japanese readers reacted to Jojo at the time, beginning in Part 1. Were there Japanese-language Usenet groups back then?

I've always been curious if those existed somewhere. Like, I'd love to see what the response was back in the day to Goku being an alien and Johnathan dying and stuff. I'd love to imagine alt.1channel.wsj or whatever was blowing up back then.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this might be my favourite episode of Part 5 so far. Trish is pretty cool once she galaxy brains into being a full Jojo.

King Crimson has a great design, it's so loving angry.

Bruno could also just zip himself open and pull out any scissors or razor blades without further hurting himself.

The way I always imagined it is that damaging your Stand is damaging the soul, and the damage transfers to the body. But when there's two souls in one body, punching a hole through one soul transfers only half the damage to the body as the soul only has dominion over half the body. So Spice Girl takes 100% of the damage while both Mista's body and King Crimson takes 50%.

It's a shame there's so much bullshit in the episode, because Giorno using the blood he left behind when his arm was severed to create termites that destroy the arrow shaft is a pretty cool and logical use of Gold Experience for once. I mean King Crimson is a ghost so neither the ants nor blood should even be able to touch him but, y'know, good try.

Yeah JoJo is absolutely mainstream and "normie" now. It's fanbase is maybe one of the worst anime fanbases I've ever seen in my loving life but if that means I can walk into a bookstore and buy hardback Part 4 volumes off the shelf, then I'm okay with it

You and I have very different experiences with every other anime fanbase.
