Koichi and Echoes are going to be voiced by Romi Park. This is endlessly amusing to me.

Jojolion 20 is out. It is surreal as hell and it looks like we're going to see Joushuu's stand.

Hahaha Araki has been hitting some serious  this Arc. I guess the Robbing Road dudes are supposed to be this universe's version of "Fatty" Shigekyo due to the fact that the tiny dudes reminded me of Harvest? Also Joushuu can unscrew people's body parts out goddamn

His stand looks like Pinhead. Anyway I love abilities like this, and Joushuu is obviously good at thinking on his feet so I'm excited to see how he'll use it.

I can't quite figure out how the leaves stand works. Does it just move you in a set direction when you're pushed? How did it make Josuke beat up those cops?

I think all it does is just move you with the leaves under your feet. So it just shifted Josuke in a way that made him hit the cops. Also it seems to be able to quickly move stuff under the leaves around fast, hence the attempted drug deal.

How far are the retranslations in Part 4? I'm itching to reread Part 3, and It'd be nice if Part 4 was finished soon so I could go through it in a solid week with non-lovely translation.

I dont know whats holding up the last bit, but id say just go ahead and read it. Duwang gets better as it goes along, and that last quarter makes 100x more sense than the first quarter does.

When I was young and stupid (somewhere in High School), I had read all of part 4 Duwang-style and never really had an issue with it. Somewhere, there was a point where Okuyasu and Josuke where spreading false rumors about Koichi, where one went "Koichi steals???" and Josuke replied "No diggity". It took me about 2 pages before my mind did a double take and I had to go back and realize what he was saying. Reading over the speech balloon 5 times over I finally realized Josuke was saying "No dignity." But at that moment, it made so much sense. What a beautiful DUWANG  .

I was checking out Jojo fanarts in Pixiv and for some reason Prosciutto's stand is often written as "Greatful Dead" rather than "Grateful Dead", and the official Chinese translation is 偉大之死 which is something like "great dead". Did the fans/translation mess it up or is Araki deliberately using that spelling instead of the straight band name?

Probably just a translation messup due to hoow the Japanese language is translated. Speaking of, can anyone confirm the rumor I head that Aqua Necklace was really just a DUWANG of Aqualung?

Nah, Aqua Necklace is its actual name, or at least that's how all the official artbooks and such translated it. I'm not really sure what the reference is supposed to be, although the Jojo wiki purports that it's referencing 'Aqua' by Asia which I really don't know about. Also, just for reference, its Duwang name was 'Silver Chain.' Dunno if that was a Duwang translation error or just an error that came from the original Japanese -> Chinese translation, though.

DICKS FOR DINNER posted:Also, just for reference, its Duwang name was 'Silver Chain.' Dunno if that was a Duwang translation error or just an error that came from the original Japanese -> Chinese translation, though. The Chinese official translation of Aqua Necklace is 銀水鏈 which, when translated literally, would be "silver water chain". The DUWANG translator probably thought that "water" is awkward and left it out. Speaking of DUWANG, I would probably do the same thing if I were a big fan of Jojo back then and knew that the English world was desperate for a translation. There would probably be no such gem as "a feeling so complicated" though.

I've only been a fan of jojos for a short while. I started reading the manga and then the anime was released. I put the manga to one side and really got Into the anime. I just hope stardust crusaders lives up to battle tendency.

I just finished Stardust Crusaders and was blown away. Really lives up to its title. But I'm wondering how much of the Ripple will we ever see again? Or has the rest of the manga gone full-Stand territory ever since?

The Ripple will literally never appear again, although part 7 introduces a non-Stand ability that is somewhat similar.

The Ripple will appear one more time and be proven as completely useless. Just as good, Stands are a million times better.

Fair enough. It can't be the Joestars who are having all the fun! Sometimes my head just hurts trying to parse the Stand battles, though. In which I should just reread Part 2.

Which one of the seasons is considered the weakest one? I'm on Vento Aureo and it's killing my will to keep reading Jojo. This jojo barely does anything, all the characters are pretty weak and it's a real bummer to see how the plot is developing considering the potential of the main character's background.

Vento Aureo is generally (and correctly) considered to be the lamest. A dull protagonist, a dumb villain, and not as many cool fights as the rest if the parts. The lousy translation doesn't help, either. It does, however, have some cool supporting characters and the greatest stand, Sticky Fingers.

Vento Auero and Stone Ocean are the weakest, imo. Stone Ocean improves in every regard but I got serious fight fatigue around that point and it seems like Jolyne never got to take a break from constantly getting into fights. Steel Ball Run reaches a much better balance.

Meme Emulator posted:Vento Auero and Stone Ocean are the weakest, imo. Stone Ocean is a lot better. The fights are a lot more interesting, as are the characters, as is the premise. In fact, I think they're all really good. But like you said, there's just so many fights, and they tend to have increasingly elaborate and over the top premises. I think most of the bad things about Stone Ocean, including my own less than stellar first impressions, would be greatly ameliorated if people took a nice long break after part 5 before getting into it. I guess that's still a problem with Stone Ocean, as Steel Ball Run has no such issue. It's just utterly fantastic and fresh that you there's no sort of drag at all from binging it right after the entirety of Jojo before it. Edit: I've heard of people liking part 5 (Japanese people especially?) but I've never really understood why. And I don't mean that in an arrogant "I have better taste" way, I'd really like to enjoy part 5 more, so it'd be cool if someone could explain why it'd be well received.

I honestly think Phantom Blood is the weakest part of the series. Parts 5 and 6 aren't far behind it, and it's true that they have a lot of issues of their own, but I think they make up for their shortcomings more than part 1. I don't think 1 has much going for it other than being endearingly goofy. 5 has a lot of issues with the main cast and 6 is kind of exhausting to read, but (5 especially) they do have some of the coolest fights in the series.
