To be honest I prefered the kinda "villian of the week" format part 3, 4 and to an extent 6 had.

It was just so cool seeing more stands and their abilities.

I have a friend who didn't like part 3 as much because it was all villain of the week and large chunks of it didn't really develop the story aside from them moving ever closer to egypt.

Can't wait for part 4, where something like the middle third of the story is "stands? STANDS??"

Interesting!
People are going off of an interview with Araki about All-Star Battle where he referred to it as a parallel universe (referring to the two Josukes existing in parallel universes). Looks like he either changed his mind by the time Jojolion came around or it's just another thing he forgot about.

I think it's obvious the interview from way back he started sbr isn't really relevant with what we see in jojolion.

Summary by the scanlator of JJL
The brothers are called the Aphex Brothers (Twins). Their Stands are "Schottky No.1" for the older brother and "Schottky No.2" for the younger. The younger brother's ability seems to be a poison gas sort of Stand that he keeps inside the ball. Karera's Stand is called Love Love Deluxe. This chapter is mostly a fight. The older brother says Jousuke's ability of "stealing and destroying" is similar to Kira's, but he also seems to be a lot like Josefumi. Jousuke fights them by stuffing the ball full of Soft and Wet bubbles (This summary is pretty vague). Karera used her ability to light them on fire using her hair ability to spread a fire she started using the gasoline. She mistakenly thinks that Jousuke is Josefumi having used the Rokakaka fruit's equivalent exchange power with Kira.

The source for that, and his source on there.

Crossposting from the thread for posters who don't read good:

On Sunday I am going to be starting us off right with my take on the first three chapters of part 4. I won't always do "just" three chapters, but there's a lot to digest in these three as they lay the foundation for what follows so grab your favorite version of Part 4 and get ready, because Let's Effort Read JJBA Part 4 begins now!

And for those who aren't familiar with my style of analysis, you can see my other :words: about manga here: https://manuelamalasanya.wordpress.com/effort-series/. The Let's Read won't be in the same format as The Anatomy of the Art of Dragonball, but those are the sorts of things I'll be commenting on in addition to the standard Let's Read commentary.

Whoa, somebody bought me a new avatar! Thanks, unknown benefactor! I will strike a pose just for you.

Lisa Lisa is a pretty rad character, particularly for a female character in a shonen manga from the 80s. What's kinda fun also about Lisa Lisa is that there are so many stories in fiction about someone training under some hardass mentor only to find out that the mentor was actually their father or something and then the story speaks to the unspoken bond of kinship and manliness between a father and son and blah blah blah but you don't really see much in fiction stories about a dude learning essential life skills from their mom -- and I don't just mean manga, I mean in any fiction. So yep, that's cool. And for that reason I don't mind Lisa Lisa getting injured just to let Joseph have a chance to go do main character stuff, because even if her character had been male, that kind of poo poo always happens to the mentor character.

E: grammar

Araki allegedly wanted to give Lisa Lisa more stuff to do, but his editor told him otherwise.

Part 2 is pretty much the Joseph Joestar show though, regardless of who you are.
