Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

How was that possible, indeed?

How'd he find her? How'd he get her? How did he keep her alive?

Nobody fucking knows.

Hell, Araki retconned that entire timeline out so we never find out.

I don't think we'd ever find out either way. It's a horror story. Not knowing makes it scarier.

I'm thinking: Araki likes mixing action and horror genres a lot, and many of them have been explored. Except, notably, sci-fi and Cosmic Horror Story. Maybe we can get some in Part 9?

Considering Part 8 takes place in 2012 Japan, Araki practically has to go to the future for Part 9, which is ripe for sci-fi goodness... unless he does another universe reset again.

I saw someone point out that Risotto's blades have the word "Trademark" on them, which either means that Risotto has his own personal trademark on his iron blades or he's just copying the existing design of real knife and razor blade companies.

Risotto's greatest crime wasn't being an assassin or a mobster, it wasn't assassinating people or conspiracy to murder his boss, no; Risotto's biggest crime is copyright infringement.

Speaking of assassins, you'd think "Politician dies from car expanding in his stomach" would have attracted lots of attention to the Speedwagon Foundation and the Jo Jos.

It was orchestrated so the aftermath would look more like "couple is killed in car crash" to any bystanders.

Now that trope pages can have videos, I added Steely Dan's beatdown to the Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs page. Anyone have any other good ideas for trope videos from JoJo?

It's not gonna happen

Araki thinks is a bad idea to add sci-fi to the world of Jo Jo

That’s interesting

How do even classify Jo Jo

It's easier if you don't

JoJo's genre: Yes

No pun intended

I like my puns more roundabout, anyway.

So Jojo is prog rock then? I can dig it.

Abbacchio: With my last breath, I curse Giorno!

Man Jojo really knows how to do death scenes. That was fucking beautiful.

Okay, that was sad in a way that Jo Jo's deaths haven't been since Jonathan's. Most of them you can see being telegraphed in advance but this was just an out of the blue WHAM. And the aftermath with him reunited with his partner and the rest of the gang being so visibly torn up. This really is the best part that's been animated yet.

Even though Abbacchio has had death flags radiating from him ever since we learned what a paranoid nutjob the Boss is, his death still hit hard. Abbacchio was probably my second favourite in the gang after Bruno and the scene with his former partner was heartbreaking.

Abacchio was always my favorite of the gang besides Bruno as well, despite him being relatively underused.

Damn. That was quick huh?

Abbachio didn't even see it coming. I didn't expect it to be that fast.

I just feel like Last Surprise Goes with Everything: Abbacchio's Death is going to be a thing.

Also in case any of you think Mista's irrational fear of the number four is ridiculous remember that Abbacchio was the 4th person on the boat when Bruno decided to betray the boss.

Yeah. I believe that was pointed out in Fridge Brilliance for Vento Aureo...or on this thread. I can't recall.

I do recall reading that him joining in as soon as Abacchio did was him deliberately avoiding being the fourth person to join.

Nice job getting your friend murdered Mista.

Kinda funny that the guy who keeps getting shot ended up making someone else take the bullet for him.

Man narancia's VA put on a golden performance this episode. Poor narancia.

Idk maybe bruno kind of made a bad call this time. I feel like if giorno and mista were closer to him doppio wouldn't have acted.

Abacchio's death has been the most touching in the anime so far. He's my 2nd favorite member.
