Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

@Tomodachi: i see we have something in common.

if you wanna see more of him, i suggest hunting down translated versions of the spin-off series Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe one you're done with Part 4.

Welp, I finally managed to get the time to read the latest Jojolion.

Just in time for the next one to come out in a couple of days, probably. [sigh]

Be happy, my favorite characters always die... . Poor Shigechi.

Jonathan's dead, Caesar's dead, Speedwagon's dead, Narancia's dead, Gyro's dead, Hot Pants is dead...

Ah, I was talking about the guys who have the author insert as a favorite. Sorry for not using arrows that time. We can be sad together .

Abbachio's dead, Enya's dead, Kakyoin's dead...

Because Dio is an asshole.

And we love him for that

"which Zeppeli?"

"PICK ONE!"

I wouldn't be surprised if Caesar's relatives died offscreen due to evil Stand Users.

Baron William Antonio. He's one of the only JJBA characters that I ever refer to using Last-Name Basis, the others being Speedwagon and Yoshikage Kira (and as often as not, I refer to the latter by his full name).

What about Jean-Pierre Polnareff, Noriaki Kakyoin, and Mohammad Avdol?

I don't think I've ever heard anyone call Polnareff "Jean-Pierre".

When I said that, I had somehow managed to completely forget the existence of Stardust Crusaders.

Dan of Steel is dead, isn't he?

Probably. VIA universe destruction, if nothing else.

I think someone in the thread pointed out that a light novel about Jotaro, Josuke or Shizuka could be about the SC minions that survived seeking revenge on the Joestars.

You could have a grown up Mannish Boy, a Midler with new teeth, Mariah etc.

If we go the Batman route maybe have a minion turn good, uneasily. Mostly so he doesn't get Jotaro on him again. Maybe Steely Dan can go Riddler or Penguin.

I freaking love henchman-return stories

Cameo goes after people with strong, deceased friends.

Mariah now sports bladed prosthetic legs and a spiked walker, ironically making her a more vicious physical attacker.

As mentioned before, Mannish Boy is grown up, and even smarter than before.

Yellow Temperance allows Rubber Soul to fake having grievous injuries of his own, when in reality he made a full recovery, and uses this disguise to make people underestimate him.

Alessi is the banker from Shigechi's arc of part 4 (thanks, Reddit!)

Midler hides High Priestess in one of her fake teeth.

ZZ has Wheel of Fortune overshadow a tank.

Arabia Fats uses Sun at a beach in order to disguise himself with a thick cloud of mist.

Steely Dan has become a boxer, in order to "safely" get beaten up, while using his stand somewhere he won't easily be interrupted.

Hol Horse has had little improvement, and attempts to be a defector, begging for Jotaro and co. to allow him to stay on "the winning side."

Oingo and Boingo are just as clueless as before.

Daniel D'Arby has organized the revenge squad from inside an insane asylum, Dr. Mabuse style.

...In the past 48 hours, I have randomly recommended JJBA to one of my college professors (whom I've never even met, being an online class) and to an older faculty guy I don't even know the name of.

What the hell is wrong with me?!

Nothiñg at all. I have, on occasion, acted as the local Jojo evangelist with little to no provocation. Gotta' spread the word. When this thing catches, I want the grease spread far and wide beforehand.

Its stuck with a few. And they told people...

You're doing DIO's work.

Regarding the online professor, there actually was some provocation - namely, it's a mythology class, and since he won't be teaching it over the summer for the first time in years, he joked about "strange story withdrawal".

Cue my very brief summation of Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency:

"It starts as a victorian gothic drama, then changes to gothic horror, and then Jonathan Joestar learns how to explode vampire heads with his fist. And then Nazis team up with his grandson to stop super-vampire cavemen from taking over the world prior to WWII."

Shockingly, the professor did not appear to be immediately turned off.

Funny enough, I also introduced JOJO to my professor, who is a huge european comic book fan.

He saw the 3 openings, and laugh, but loved the colors in the second one.

He seems to like One Piece more, because is more to his style

Confirmation from Jump that Jean Pierre Polnareff, Hol Horse, Yukako Yamagishi and Koichi Hirose are playable in the new game.

I know I was the one that posted it but now we have the actual magazine out.

Yukako and Koichi were confirmed a while back.
