Yeah, closed for the off-season. Probably for the best, since they tend to devolve into online Stand creators.

Unlike us, who post about what Stand we got in a fan game.

There's time. I'm calling Joubin winning this one but Jousuke figuring out his stand ability in the process, making it all come down to a third match.

Because of course Jousuke is getting his eyeball licked. Araki cannot let an eye go unlicked.

Earlier, Daiya had the chess piece coming out of Josuke's eyeball too. Is there other eye-related things other than that going on? I mean, besides the fact that Gappy has a weird split iris thing going on.

Eh, Joshuu gets rough treatment from time to time but he's an rear end in a top hat and has done everything to deserve it. I'm sure it won't be long before he reminds you why he gets treated like poo poo.

Tsurugi gets pretty weird and deformed but I guess that's just a problem that Araki has with his style, a lot of the time it comes out looking great but sometimes people just stop looking like people

The One True Oden

Eh, I dunno, didn't seem any weirder than usual.

I am so hyped for more bugfights. Jobin seems to have some sort of vibration-based stand? I don't think it has anything to do with the eye licking, that's just Araki and his eye thing again.

stuff about eyes

Araki is really into body horror stuff, especially the really uncomfortable stuff - fingernails, toes, and particularly eyes. Jojo is chock full of eyes being sliced or stabbed in loving closeup.

Yeah, that was pretty shocking to me, considering part 6 was probably the goriest of them all. I was definitely glad we didn't get constant shots of Johnny's bloody, torn up fingers though.

Araki really did miss a critical detail of southern Italy when he was did Vento Aureo: There isn't enough trash. Seriously, like Naples is 90% trash due organized crime there.

Someone really needs to tell Araki to stop drawing his old characters if he can't do HnK mode anymore.
It just hurts to look at.

Especially his attempts at Pillar Men.
That's not the ultimate being at all, not even close.

In the world of Jojo, the mafia is too fancy for mess. They clean it up because otherwise it would sully the strips of fabric they strap on their chests.

I kinda like it, it's as if Araki is doing fanart of his own old characters. I thank god he hasn't gone insane and insisting JoJo be George Lucas'd into the new style and the originals cease printing or something, but it's fun to see him remix his old designs into his new style.

To be fair, the trash thing only really got bad in the mid to late 2000s and Vento Aureo wrapped up in 99. Maybe they'll rectify this if they get around to animating it.

Edit: Also most of southern Italy is great, Naples is just their version of New Jersey.

JoJo, in regards to style, was at its best during Part 4. There was a varied-looking main cast (Josuke, Jotaro, Okuyasu, Koichi are all easily distinguishable by faces alone), Kira was stylish as hell in both versions, and most people wore something that actually resembles clothes somewhat. Since then, those dang beautiful men with perfect skin and luscious lips have invaded every single character design. Seems to me one kind of homoeroticism has slowly eclipsed the other. (But then again, there's the entire first fight of JoJolion...?)

...there, I just wrote that
