Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Thanks to Ermes, we already know how Bohemian Rhapsody's gonna go, but I'm still eagerly awaiting the Jail House Lock arc so we can see what'll become of The Sixth Sense. (It's technically owned by Disney now)

Eyes of Heaven in a nutshell.

Ah, so the "part 9 spoilers" protagonists in this video were most closely a parody of Jolyne and Emporio.

That's just goddamn hilarious, really.

I didn't want to have to resort to this format, but the resemblance was too uncanny.

"...I can't die."

Oh my God! They killed Kenny!

A fanmade OP for Part 8 (major spoilers for the Part)

I'm curious. Considering the fact that DIO, Straizo, and the Pillar Men are effectively immortal, only being able to be killed through sunlight exposure, how would they be affected by Gold Experience Requiem's Infinite Death Loop? Especially in the case of Ultimate Kars, who is almost impossible to kill.

It seemed that Diavolo was incapable of using King Crimson in his. And in at least one loop he was basically a living corpse and completely paralyzed from the neck down, even his screams being inaudible. Whatever the case may be you end up completely unable to defend yourself as you would normally.

I suspect that whatever Requiem does, it cancels out vampire regeneration like a Power Nullifer and would make you susceptible to all manners of dying. DIO would find himself getting skewered by Polnareff and then resetting to a world where Jotaro actually incinerated him. Kars could be mowed down by ordinary bullets.

I'm genuinely wondering what happened when Diavolo encountered the little girl. Like, what sort of death befell him that time.

I had an idea for a fanfic where one of Diavolo's "loops" was actually a protagonist, a traumatized murder hobo in a big city somewhere. Of course nobody knows who he is but the reader gradually figures it out from his mannerisms and mutterings, and he's gone so insane from the repeated deaths he's lost his malevolence (maybe even regressing into Doppio's personality traits). After so many deaths he's finally found a loop where he survives for a time, thinking his paranoid nature and hermit lifestyle will keep him safe. I mean, he's still boned, but the irony is that his life has basically become a Final Destination movie and he's fated to die and die again, eventually.

Heck maybe the loop lets him live out of his life in anonymity then kills him off in some horrific, Wonder Of U kind of way when he's 40-50. Like it starts raining and a raindrop pierces through his skull.

I'm genuinely wondering what happened when Diavolo encountered the little girl. Like, what sort of death befell him that time.

My headcanon is that he was trying to back away from her, tripped over the root of the tree behind him, and fell down the hill, cracking his skull on a rock at the bottom.

Considering that Diavolo was trapped in a Death Loop, why was he found himself unable to move in autopsy room, with woman, who dissected him, being unable to hear him or see his face move?

I like to imagine that the first two deaths were canon. He really did crawl out of the river into the sewers and get stabbed by a homeless man on drugs, then his body was dissected in a morgue, note that her description of his body is accurate. GER's power took away his ability to defend himself with the first one and resurrected his consciousness for the second one (he wasn't actually talking, it's more akin to sleep paralysis).

Every death after that, though, I have no idea. I don't know if he's actually respawning around the world only to die immediately or if he's trapped in a pocket dimension where these events are simulated like purgatory, or if he's being teleported to a new universe with each death. It's deliberately ambiguous.

I'm of the belief that his first death was drowning in the river. That's when he exited the gangstars' ability to perceive him. But he had a sense of continuity as though he didnt die because GER reverted his death. So he runs into the homeless man. So his body is found and dissected for an autopsy. After some point, even his sense of continuous existence is brought to zero. Nothing connects anymore. It's just life and death reverting forever.

Yubi yubi, Koichi-kun~

...So, is Araki just a big fan of Stephen King, or what?

Maybe that's why they renamed Crazy Diamond to Shining Diamond.

In the event that Steel Ball Run gets animated who do you think would be cast as Johnny, Gyro and Valentine?

My personal guesses are:

• Johnny Joestar
  • Yuki Kaji reprising his role
  • Yūto Uemura
  • Ayumu Murase
  • Natsuki Hanae
  • Toshiki Masuda
  • Ryota Suzuki
  • Chiaki Kobayashi

• Gyro Zeppeli (Sub):
  • Shin-ichiro Miki reprising his role
  • Mamoru Miyano
  • Jun Fukuyama
  • Daisuke Namikawa (even though he already voiced Anasui)
  • Satoshi Hino (even though he already voiced Johngalli A.)
  • Masakazu Morita

• President Valentine (Sub):
  • Yasuyuki Kase reprises his role
  • Hiroshi Kamiya
  • Jun Fukuyama (if he doesn't voice Gyro mentioned above)
  • Akira Ishida

Any thoughts/suggestions?

I like Hanae as Johnny and Fukuyama as Gyro. For Valentine, uh... Youhei Azakami?

Musicality with a couple of Trap remixes for Stone Ocean:

(3) I'm personally on board for Yuki Kaji as Johnny, if only because I absolutely love his Oras. https://youtu.be/V0aSX2jNQJ4

Honestly, Steel Ball Run in the games already has an amazing cast as is, not least of which is Hot Pants being voiced by my personal favorite seiyuu, Megumi Toyoguchi. ...That said, considering she voiced Tomoko pre-maternity leave, I don't know how much of a chance there is for her to come back.

You ever notice how Joseph in his 70s, even having frail bones and hearing loss, still ended up gaining more victories than Jotaro in his 40s, who was a brutal Papa Wolf?

Huh????? Jotaro beat so many goddamn Stand users in Part 3, while Joseph only had four opponents in all of Part 2.

Joseph was successful in Shizuka's case. That's 1 victory in Part 4.

Jotaro lost to Pucci twice. That's 0 victories in Part 6.

Raikou's statement checks out.

It's probably a lost cause, but I just want Part 6's anime to clarify Jotaro's relationship with his wife.

If he was straight and genuinely in love with her, show it.

If he was gay and it was compulsive heterosexuality, show it.

I've been trying to write Jotaro x canon wife fic for a solid four or five years trying to fill in the gaps, and I just want a canon answer, regardless of what that answer is.
