Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

An analysis of The Wonder of U's design (huge spoilers for Jojolion).

Cool that its appearance is so heavily based on the artist Rene Magritte.

Damn I love Wonder Of U even more now.

I figure Part 6 would be announced by now so I guess we'll find out in a week.

Wonder of U has "quickly" become one of my all time favorite villain Stands.

Same. Even if Tooru doesn't turn out to be the main villain of Jojolion (I'm still like 90% sure Jobin's the main villain), he's had enough of an impact to deserve being added to future Jojo games, similar to Vanilla Ice. I'm just imagining Tooru having a mechanic where he builds a Calamity Meter every time the opponent moves forward or attacks him.

You know, when we inevitably get the Part 6 anime, I wonder if there'll be a usage of Sono Chi no Sadame somewhere in the climax as a form of Book Ends, especially considering that the latest JoJo we see in the Phantom Blood intro is Jolyne; not Johnny or Gappy, even with JoJolion being out at the time of the anime's release.

I'm really hoping the first Part 6 OP starts with a remake of the sequence at the start of Sono Chi No Sadame in reverse, ending with Jolyne flourishing into the start of the OP.

Plus, like how Sono Chi No Sadame used manga panels, the Part 6 OP can use footage of those same scenes from the anime.

Basically, I want it to start like the last 5 seconds of this:

I also have a bit of a hypothesis for what the intro change for Part 6 could entail. The intro proceeds as normal until it reaches Pucci, who now has Made in Heaven. The intro then starts speeding up, until it starts playing every JoJo episode in order at lightning speed. Once it reaches the most recent episode, the screen then flashes white, stays black for about 5 seconds, and then plays the intro to Part 1. Once that intro's finished, the episode then cues up as normal.

I think the final OP should change twice for Part 6, once for C-Moon and once for Made In Heaven. C-Moon is still a pretty major event, being the entire first half of the final battle, and it would be pretty easy to make an OP change if it's just "entire OP is sideways". Having C-Moon change the OP could also fake-out the audience into thinking that Pucci isn't going to achieve Heaven and C-Moon really is the final boss.

For more OP changes, Part 7's final OP should change 3 times. Once for Love Train, once for Act 4 cancelling out Love Train, and once with AU Diego stopping time just like DIO in Part 3's second OP.

As it turns out, Joseph's predictive ability and catchphrase are genetic. Every Joestar from then on has q "I know what you'll say next" moment.

What would be the best ones?

Diavolo uses Epitaph to predict Giorno predicting what's he's going to say, but Giorno predicted that, so Giorno predicts that Diavolo is going to say that he knows that he's going to say that he knows what he's going to say.

Of course, Giorno is not descended from Joseph. He is technically Joseph’s uncle.

The Joestar genes are so strong it goes backwards.

I mean is Giorno his uncle? Jonathan's body has clearly been modified by Dio so genetically I'm wondering how much DNA Giorno shares with his two fathers.

You know, isn't it a little ironic that Abbacchio's Start of Darkness came from his job as a police officer... and his death was via donut?

Jonathan's body is very much still a Joestar body. That DIO was now connected to the Joestar bloodline was the entire crux of Part III's story. That DIO awakening his Stand spread to every living Joestar descendant is proof positive.

Heck, Giorno even originally had the same hair color as most of the Joestar descendants. It only turned blonde when his Stand began to manifest.

Did anyone here actually spend the 4,400 yen for a ticket to watch Jojo: The Inhereted Soul?

It's too late at night for me, so I'll just see what happened after I wake up.

Does anybody know if and where Joestar: The Inherited Soul is being streamed?

Here's the website.

...Well, that's a bit sketch that livestream access is being sold. I could've just easily caught someone else reacting to the stream of Twitch; what'd be the point?

Well it's because Covid means they can't sell tickets to live shows.

And here's a countdown to the event, it starts in about 5 hours.

Last minute prediction:

There will be 3 announcements at the event, one of which will be the Stone Ocean anime. As for the other two, they could be anything, but I have some guesses:

• A new Rohan OVA.

• An OVA of all the Jojos interacting with each other.

• A new line of merch.

• A new game.

• A console port of the recent arcade Battle Royal game.

• A new databook/artbook.
