It's getting hard to explain all these semen covered boxers, Tiki.

hasnt this comic been over for a while

>>66930
Individual parts of it end, but not the whole series. Steel Ball Run just ended.

>>66931
Exactly.

>>66929
I just pretend it's yogurt!

Has KochiKame moved to UJ now?

As for the chapter, it was neat, but I'm still not sure what to make of this new part.

Gappy is gettin' pornier as the chapters progress.

-four testicles
-sailor suit
-gap teeth
-stand called Soft and Wet

Has Araki ever commented on having any sort of real endgame to this, or is it just going to be an endless cycle?

>>67143
I've heard rumors that he will end it at part 10.

>>67143
He once mentioned that he had up to part 9 planned, but he also likes the thought of a neverending story, like the ones people used to tell every night around a campfire or something.

Hey /jam/, what's your favorite JoJo beatdown?

>>67738
Giorno beetlesploding Cioccolata's brain and finishing him off with a several-page combo.

>>67743

Yeah, this. I don't even like Vento that much, but that was fucking glorious.

>>67738
Well apart from GioGio's multi page MUDA...

That one in Stardust where Jotaro has to take a bunch of shit from the guy because he'll kill everyone else (I actually forget which stand it was) but at the end he beats the fuck out of him and gives him a receipt of all the aforementioned shit.

Or how in part 4, when Josuke finally finds Highway Star he heals him before chucking him out the window.

>>67752
That one is Steely Dan and Lovers I believe.

WE'RE BACK!!

WE'RE FINALLY BACK!!!!

That's unexpected.

>>68059
Just ain't JJBA without that gratuitous body horror.

Bracing for the inevitable brain implosions that will occur when Soft & Wet takes someone's time. You know it will happen.

Okay, so what we know about Soft and Wet, if something up against the Birthmark it can't be activated.

When activated it produces a homing bubble that seeks out a target of Gappy's choice, upon detonation it "Takes something" that doesn't really have to be something that can be removed in the traditional sense (sight, water, friction.)

His Stand is itself humanoid and capable of good old ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!

>>68079
I dunno, I'm expecting something a little more extravagant for a JoJo villain.

Wow, Shizuka wasn't kidding about Arc 5 being terribly translated.

>>68541
Sad but true: part 4 had a more accurate translation.

>>68679
At least it gave us fond memories. Oh Duwang~

Are there two groups working on Jojolion right now? I swear I've seen two different translations and I want to make sure I'm not nuts.

So, uh, is stealing testicles really a thing now?

>>69717
We don't know, apparently New Universe Kira made Sasame Oijirou eat his own fingers and he is apparently the one who "gave" GapJo his second set of balls.

...This has got to be one of the few times JoJo has completely baffled me.

Beach Boys - Fun Fun Fun

>>69737
I love that Fun Fun Fun's user is a surfer.

>>69741
Someone asked me who I'd like to see direct a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure movie, I said Martin Scorsese because I figure any adaptation would be fairly bad, but with Scorsese it would be like an art form and I KNOW he'd secure the actual songs.

Imagine Gapjo flailing about the floor with his hands cut open by razor blades and the like, transforming into iron weights and the naked girl in the corner tries desperately to scream about what is happening over the song Fun Fun Fun by The Beach Boys.

Or the entire Golden Wind Gang jigging down to Aerosmith's Jaded while the eyes of a disembodied and gagged head burn in he Italian sea sun from a magnifying glass.

Jaded - Aerosmith

Also, it does seem stealing testicles is a thing now.

As is a power that can make you eat your fingers, though the guy who did it was high and drunk.

>>69746
That sounds awfully Taratantino-y.

>>69766
The difference is Sorceresses' bizarre expressionism and filming style making it less trashy and more gripping visually.

I was wondering when Araki was going to reference 'Yes', but I was hoping for a stand.

>>70730
We see a stand at the end of the chapter. It may be named after a Yes song or Album.

I can't help but feel we'll get a stand named after a Tom Waits album for some reason. I have no idea why. Is there a list of musicians, songs, or albums that you would expect to have stands named after them but do not as of yet?

>>70748
Jethro Tull or The Doors. Not sure how well known Mr. Bungle is over there.

>>70749
Aqualung or Thick as a Brick would be great stand names.Return to Forever would be an interesting stand as well, as I don't think there have been many stands named after Jazz albums or outfits, let alone Jazz fusion.

Taking bets now. Who thinks this is going to return to 'beating the evil out of people?" [y/n]

>>71830
I'm thinking yes but I am unsure.

>>71830
I'd say there is a possibility of literally removing evil from someone

>>71838
Gappy can't take intangible things or at least things that don't have a surface.

>>71855
That's what power ups are for

The Big 6 - 20th Century Boy

Tusk, you will be forever remember as one of the goddamn coolest stands.

And as having one of the best stand songs.

Fuck, I love The World. I don't think Araki's yet developed a stand that makes for more fun fights. Except maybe Stairway to Heaven/Made In Heaven.

>>74680
I think Stone Free has to be the funnest in my opinion.

>>75741
Lucy, is one of the best female characters ever written.

>>75747

>>70755
>>70749
The first stand fight that Josuke has in part 4 is against Aqualung. I's probably hard to remember because of the shitty translation

>>75762
Yeah, the fucked up translation calls him Aquanecklace.

The DUWANG scanlations blow my mind, I swear. What kind of person is willing to devote the time and effort and has a long enough attention span to do even a shithole scanlation of the entire part, and yet wasn't willing to put in even the tiniest modicum of effort to not make it look like a Baboon's ass.

Also, technically Josuke's first Stand fight was with Star Platinum.

>>75772
I cannot wait until the good translation is finished.

It made me sad that Old Joe had let his Haki skills and his wits deterioate so much since his prime. Also that Araki seemed so quick to dump Haki and make it completly useless the couple of times it did appear in Part3 instead of integrating into the story, but again this comes back to Joseph no longer being the protagonist.

>>76656

>haki

uhm

>>76658
Sorry I had been reading a One Piece thread at the time, obviously I got my wires crossed and typed Haki when I meant Ripple.

Haki and Ripple are the same thing.

Mitochondria.

>>76656
Well technically the Spin from SBR was like the Ripple, just a different name and used differently.

ITS NOT JUST A GAME, JOJO IS GETTING AN ANIME TOO

>>76835
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-07-05/jojo-bizarre-adventure-gets-tv-anime-in-october-and-game
That other link is dead.
And while I'm glad to see both things, I'm guess some others are a bit cautious and afraid of getting another Phantom Blood OVA.

荒木飛呂彦原画展「ジ…

>>76836
I worry about this too but we may very well get an adaptation of the whole series (or at least the first few parts). We will just have to wait and see.

>>76837
I just want my Battle Tendency animu with Lisa Lisa and cyborg Nazis and hand squirrels and super gay Pillar Men and wedding rings of death and CAESARRRR...
and anyway this anime is already looking better than APPP Phantom Blood if only because it at least tries to look somewhat like Araki instead of those freakish huge noses and wrinkles

but on a more related note, who do you guys want for voice actors?
I think Jonathan is still Kamina, but I'm not sure if they're going to reuse the video game or OVA voices for any of the others, or cast new ones

>>76837
>>76840
>>76836
According to someone on 4chan /co/ the anime will be every part, starting from Phantom Blood.

>>76847
...That could... actually work. It was always a fast-paced story (well, bar Diamond is Unbreakable) and since all of it is done, they could zip right through it without worrying about dragging the pacing out.

thought as much from the trailer, but any concrete statements that the Jojo animu is going to be all parts?
I wonder if they're going bother trying to animate Jojolion or if that bit in the trailer just meant they're going to put Josuke in the fighting game

>>76861
If they do all parts, by the time they reach Jojolion it might be nearly over or even over, depending on how fast they release the episodes.

>The guy in front of the ice cream stand in Chapter 12

Was he drawing Crazy Diamond?

http://jamberry.at.webry.info/201207/article_406.html
so, how do you think it looks?
maybe it's just me but I thought the very first chapters benefited from the borderline oldschool shoujo look rather than jumping into muscle mode

>>76896
The eyes are a little...odd. They kind of pop out a bit more than they should.

>>76934
No shading under the brows. That'd do it.

>>76934
>>76936
nose is also weird, some guy did a fix that makes it all look way better

>>76939
found it, also part of the problem is everybody being so goddamn pointy even though that really doesn't start to happen until midway through part two

I'm rereading Steel Ball Run and a few holes popped up that I'm not sure were ever explained.

All of them are about the Civil War battle. First off, what the fuck happened to Hot Pants?

Second, how the hell is Johnny still alive. He was killed by Axel Ro, he said he let Axel kill him so Civil War's effect reversed on him...so how was Johnny fine and dandy after that? Was his death just undone when Civil War's effect ended?

Also how did any of them get out? Did Axel just eventually succumb to his wounds and die and Civil War just turned off? Did his own ghosts finish him off?

I'm sorry if these were explained and I just missed them or didnt get to them yet, but I had to ask.

>>76940
mmm I prefer the other way.

>>76853
there's also the danger of rushing it like what happened to Zetman though

>>76896
aside from the rounder chins and goofy hair, it looks kind of like the they fastforwarded with the faces into the latter Part 2's style. which I am okay with because Broseph is the best and sexiest Jojo anyway.

also holy hell, I had forgotten just how ridiculously gay Part 2 was, people like to talk about Part 5 but that's just BL tier gay while Part 2 is a serious testosterone-laden orgy of buttpounding and meatspinning.

seriously I can just hear Tarzan Boy playing in my head every time I read it.

Don't forget the odd propensity to take the time even in the most dramatic moments to pose absolutely fabulously.

>>76961
Whoops, wrong pic. But still gay.

Oh wow, I am barely realizing that there was NOTHING covering the Pillar men's backside when they're first introduced.

>>76964
yeah, I think the Pillar Men are pretty high up there in terms of the WTF department of character design

>>76961
>>76962
>>76966
Um...do you just have an entire folder sitting around full of these jojo manga pages/panels?

>>76977
huh? most of them are from /a/ or /v/ and the ones that aren't I just crop in Paint

>>76984
Poor George Joestar the 2nd, dying in a brief flashback so his awesome kickass lover would have a tragic backstory (Isn't that normally the woman's job?). I'm sure he was a cool guy/fighter pilot.

It seems Joestar's named George are especially cursed.

>>76986

It's cause George isn't a Jo.

It's spelled Jo in Katakana but it's not a TRUE Jo.

>>76986
I'm kinda hoping one of them will be voiced by Jouji Nakata, just because
or maybe he can be Pucci, because they absolutely have to put him in as at least one of the villains

>>76995
Guess that explains poor HoJo.

>>76977
Who doesn't?

>>76997
I don't know if he can do hot-blooded but if they gave Joseph Light/Okarin that would make all his keikakus that much better.

>>77008
...Freddie Mercury is on this manga?

>>77016
Freddy Mercury is in EVERY manga.

Queen - Teo Torriatte (Let Us …

>>77017
...Good point.

>>77009
>Mamoru Miyano doing hotblooded characters
just watch Star Driver
actually, don't, because it's kind of shitty, but his character was pretty fabulous and hotblooded

GALACTIC PRETTY BOY TRANSFORMATION
I'd say he's got too much of the wrong type of fabulous for early Jojo though

You know I don't really get why Valentine was a villain.

I get he was a liar, a cheat, even a murderer who would sacrifice anyone to accomplish his goal. But back in that age there were a lot of people like that.

Plus his goal was just to keep the Corpse in America to keep his country great.

Yeah it's a selfish goal, but he didn't want the power for himself, and unlike Pucci, he wasn't trying to end the entire universe.

To be honest it's kind of hard not to sympathize with him instead of hate him, even though he did a lot of bad things.

>>77065
Being a Rapist is where I draw a line on him.

>>77066
Ok yeah that is pretty bad, especially since she was 14

But besides that event, I can't really hate the guy for his goal

>>77066
Ok yeah that is pretty bad, especially since she was 14

But besides that event, I can't really hate the guy for his goal

apparently Warner Bros. is doing the Jojo anime or something, and they seem to have sponsored anime in the past
I have no idea what their involvement means so could anyone who knows more explain what this portends?

>>77069

Uhm. IIRC: Big-O was partially funded by CN, which is owned by Warner Bros.

I heard rumors that Bones was going do the Jojo adaptation, anyone have a source as to what this could be?

Also what the fuck Joseph.

>>77166
Joseph Joestar: somehow both the straightest Jojo and the gayest Jojo.

>>77169
holy shit I was just about to say the exact same thing

>>77172
It is an immutable fact.

Makes me sad that he became old and busted, then Jotaro was the new hotness (not that I don't like Jotaro, but its still a shame)

>>77185
Even when made obsolete he still managed to be plenty straight & gay.

>>77185
yeah, feels pretty bad that Araki kind of left him on the wayside for being part of the pre-Stand era, but at least Araki even remembers him, unlike poor Lisalisa and Caesar

>>77187
Those are some unimpressed eleven year olds.

>>77187
Is it weird that he always makes me imagine Bill from Left4Dead whenever I read Stardust Crusaders? Even though this was around decades before the game was?

On the subject of CLAMP in the general thread, anyone remember this atrocity? Personally I just don't get the appeal behind Jotaro/Kakyoin. I didn't really notice them even having much of a bromance, let alone homolust, unless fangirls are just doing it because they're two schoolboys around the same age. If anything Pol/Abdul was where the gay was.

But maybe I should just be grateful they didn't latch onto any weird shit with William/Jonathan or Caesar/Joseph.

>>77290
Geez, that Sonic looks terrible. I am, however, digging that Cutie Honey.

>>77290
I do get the appeal of Jotaro/Kakyoin and I have to say that their stuff was so horrendously out of character that it was pretty much an original product.

Which they then made in to an original product. So, yeah.

>>77292
stop everything. WISH was based off their jjba doujin? holy crap. i sort of loved the hell out of wish whoops

>>77294
IIRC there's never been a direct confirmation, but pretty much, yeah.

>>77290
I don't remember Phantom Blood being very gay at all until the end, and the lack of Caesar/Joseph is probably because it's not obvious enough which one of them is the uke Pixiv tells me it's Joseph, and CLAMP was all over that kind of shit before it hit the mainstream

>>77296
This whole 'seme and uke' thing weirds me out, can't a couple of homo's just gay each other up in a give-and-take fashion? Does one person really need to be the butch and the other the bitch every time?

>>77298
worst part is when they make the "uke" all weepy and shit
not to be going off stereotypes, but does he even look like the kind of guy who cries during a consensual bumming?

and Kakyoin might have fruity hair but his actual appearance is a far cry from the trap that fanartists love to draw him as, and is probably manlier looking than most anime male characters in the years since Stardust Crusaders first came out

>>77298
The whole seme/uke thing is a pile of unfortunate implications. Uke-ifying characters who are strong in canon, fetishizing rape, making abusive relationships out as if they're romantic, etc.

I honestly prefer the relationships where characters are drawn to be switches (sometimes sub, sometimes dom) or at the very least, as if everything's consensual.

I don't think (the majority of the time) clothing or hair is really indicative of sexuality, anyways, in real life or in Jojo. The entire universe wears crazy outfits, it's just what they do.

> If anything Pol/Abdul was where the gay was.

WEREN'T THEY? Kakyoin and JoJo barely addressed each other one-on-one after that game of IRL Operation, whereas Pol and Abdul's character arcs were practically conjoined! But, I guess beefy, middle-aged, black dudes aren't kawaii enough.

>>77309
Nobody ever slashes the black dude.

Buncha racists.

>>77296
>>77301
Weirdest thing is I would've expected the opposite, since Caesar is the shorter, blonder, and more flamboyant one. Either way it's still wildly OOC and Joseph is probably the type of person who would beat the other guy's ass if he screwed up during that kind of thing.

>>77311
Black MIDDLE-EASTERN dude.

>>77311
I've found at least three artists on Pixiv who are heavy shippers for Polnareff/Abdul, there's still hope yet.

>>77311
Same thing with Team Fortress 2, sadly. Demoman's such an interesting character and yet it's rare to see any fanart of him, let alone slash. And heck, he's one of the few to have a canon bromance with a relatively popular character. Sheesh.

>>77315
I'm telling ya, not even female fap fantasies can escape the specter of racism.

>>77315
I dunno, lately Demoman hasn't been getting too bad of a representation in fanart. It's just that Scout/Sniper/Medic/Spy are so overrepresented due to teenage yaoi fangirls, that the other classes all seem unpopular in comparison.

>>77317
>"Skinny pale dudes. E'ery time, son."

--Fangirls

>racism in my Chinese cartoons
I hope they keep Smokey in Part 2, he was a pretty cool guy and a good straight man for some of the wackier shit in the beginning
Poco and Danny might've been cut out from the movie but I doubt Araki's going to let them cut people out like this from now on

>>77319
Generally Araki's pretty good on race but honestly, Pocoloco's whole "lazy black man who only wins through luck" shtick was really, really unfortunate.

>>77319
I dunno. He comes off as the nervous little side-kick who frets and needs rescuing while our actual hero runs in and looks cool. Not squicky, but not exactly heroic and admirable.

>>77318
I know a lot of fangirls who conversely like bara, or draw a ton of fanart of any minority that appears in a series, just because they see so many skinny white guys and they're sick of it.

>>77324

>>77325
I only know the names of fanartists in the TF2 fandom that have done this, but if you want, I'll gladly list 'em.

(Sorry for derailing the thread, btw.)

speaking of TF2 does anyone have those really hilarious edits of Stroheim as the Heavy Weapons Guy and of Caesar and Joseph as the Scout and Medic? or the ones where Spy Dio kisses Medic Erina?

>>77334
The dangers of mid-battle poses.

>>77334
No, but I offer an Unusual Purple Confetti Towering Pillar of Hats, A Deep Commitment to Purple Bombing Run, Gunslinger, and Merc's Pride Scarf.

Those thighs frighten me a little.

>>77331
I would like to know about this list.

I TRUSTED YOUUUUUUUU ;_;

They're starting with the first arc. If they hope to portray anything like the level of madness and nonsense that was in the manga, a bunch of horribly miscast VAs might be exactly what they need.

>>77411
Wait, exactly how much power does Araki have over this new series?

>>77437
Yeah, they're deffo channeling Battle Tendency when it comes to these designs.

They look a little too pointy, but at least they got the thigh to waist ratio about right.

>>77437
Jonathan looks alright but Dio still isn't fabulous enough.

>>77440
HA HA FUCKING JOHNATHAN IS SO ADORKABLE!

>>77440
Jonathan reminds me of Bolin there. Seems like he usually gets hit with the moe stick the hardest in group fanarts so people don't just think he's Joseph but less skanky and with less hairgel.

huh, so it's "Jorge" not "George"
not really feeling the hardgay for Lisalisa in Araki's current style though

Holy fuck, these scans and translations are atrocious. Like, worse than the first couple of One Piece chapters atrocious.

Hahahahahahahahahayep.

There's a rescanning project underway but it's slow going.

>>77596
It always irked me how everyone complains about the DUWANG scanlations. Back when I first started reading Jojo, I was grateful that the scans for part 4 even existed. Time was, you needed supreme google-fu and the ability to suck a neckbeard's dick over IRC to even know Jojo was a thing.

You kids are all spoiled.

>>77785
That's how I felt about 4Kids for awhile. Before torrenting and downloads and streaming sites, if your parents wouldn't let you purchase anime (and mine didn't for awhile), it was TV dubs or nothing. I was glad I could watch anime at all.

speaking of those two, does anyone have the croped image from the manga of them doing that weird...fist bump/handshake? I don't know what chapter its from.

I have a big wishlist for the upcoming game, but I hope at least Abdul makes the roster. I know he's one of the less popular characters in part 3, and didn't take the spot light too often, but the few times he does something, i was always pretty flipping awesome.

im reading part 4, why is the art so bad now? and do they use ripples anymore?

>>78117
nope, Ripple is pretty much gone forever although it gets a spiritual successor in SBR in the form of the Spin
also no idea on the art style now looking horrible, but that was around the time it made the shift from super manly to super girly

>>78118
Like, poof.

ive been reading jojo off of mangainn, and damn this quality of scan and translation is bad, and then they got so many of the chines bubbles not translated. am i stuck with how it is?

>>78158
For part 3, 4 and 5? Yes, thus far you are sadly, scanners and translators are working on it though, well not part 3, since that has an official English version.

>>78160
don't have the link but there's an anon on /a/ who's kind of redoing Part 3 high-quality raws with the old scanlations + corrections right now
they've gotten through Volume 14 and 15 so far

>>78164
can anyone kindly post links related to this? I'm very interested in getting some good quality scans.

awesome, almost indistinguishable from Araki's original style

overall I'm pretty impressed, even the stuff by Kubo and Kishimoto was quite good, although I'm disappointed that a lot of them went the Babby's First Jojo route and drew Jotaro instead of picking someone more interesting

The trailer has premiered.
I'm unsure about some of the animation, but it doesn't look too bad to me.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle

>>78345
ＰＳ３「ジョジョの奇…

>>78346
it's not the right one...

『らららこっぺぱん』…

Considering how long the Jojo franchise has been around I must ask,

Was it the series that pioneered the whole spiritual humanoid battle spirit thing?

You know, like all those STAND-ish spirit things in Naruto, Shaman King, Blue Dragon, the Persona series etc.

>>78442
Series 3, they sorta come outta nowhere so it's REALLY apparent.

>>78443
he wasn't asking when they appeared

he was asking if this series made them popular

>>78442

Quite possibly.

Also IIRC: Araki got the idea from X-men.

>>78445
>>78446
Yup, you can trace the popularity of stands and other series variants to X-men via Araki in series 3.

The characters responsible are Shadow King and Professor X, who battled in Uncanny X-Men issue #117, where both X and the Shadow King projected their minds, taking the form of armored warriors battled in a mental realm.

This was Araki's inspiration for series 3.

>>78442
I remember reading that it was, in the issue of Shonen Jump that had the Jojo Part III preview.
Apparently, it was the one of, if not the first manga to feature characters battling using manifestations of their power, and that the creators of Yu-Gi-Oh and Shaman King explicitly site Jojo as the inspiration behind their series.

Here's a fun little game you can play in the wait for games, episodes and chapters called "Make a STAND!"

Hit Shuffle on your music player

Hit the below link
http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Random

The song's name is now the name of your Stand. The power you got is it's superpower.

How appropriate is the association?

How do you imagine it looking like (humanoid, bestial, a simple if stylish looking object)?

If it's ability isn't something you're happy with, is there some useful application it has nonetheless or a way you can see it evolving to something more formidable?

http://getbacksubs.blogspot.ca/

Trailer's out. GBS was formed just for Jojo, and they seem to be learning by the seat of their pants. Wonder if another group will pick it up.

>>78563
>Ode to a Superhero (Poodle Hat)
>Thermokinetic Combat
Going by the album name, that...almost makes sense. It's like some earmuff animal?

>>78563
>Ain't Too Proud to Beg (Rolling Stones)
>Imp Manipulation
I'm not quite sure about the song or album title for this one. Kind of a cool power though.

>>78563
>Devolution of Flesh by Darkest Hour
>Empathetic Masochism
Interesting match up. I think it fits very well. Anyway, I imagine the stand being black and gray and looking like a cross between a zombie and a voodoo doll, with pins jutting out of its body. It would be able to fire these pins at will but would mainly transfer damage done to it back to its attacker or another intended target.

Episode 1 Raws released! Now where are the subs!?

I've never been able to get into Jojo (beyond seeing the abridged series) because of Phantom Blood's horrendous manga art, but seeing it animated, with the sheer insanity completely intact, is glorious. I love how impossible comical all the writing is.

>>78610
if you find the first part hilarious you're going to have a hell of a time with Battle Tendency

This arc is the reason why I can't take Careless Whisper seriously anymore.

It's fitting that some classic rock would be picked for its ED. Couldn't imagine anything else.

>>78623

>>78620

So....OP and ED of the season?

http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=361819

Subs for 2 are out.

>>78764
Most may wanna wait for a sub that's a little less rough.

>>78764
Thanks, but I'll prefer to wait for gg's torrent.

Mostly Watchable Tier:
Nutbladder
Absolute Garbage Tier:
gg
Gag Sub Tier:
DUWANG

Why is everyone hating on gg? Never have I witnessed subs that encapsulated the absurdity of what's going on the screen so much.

>>78642
Whose stand do you think that motorcycle thing is? If Josuke's hunch is correct, it's someone we've already seen.

>>78768
So, gg is worse than Commie subs?

>>78768
you have bad opinions

gg is incredible

>>78771
The weeniermobile Gappy blew the eyes out of in the first chapter.

>>78773
Commie does an actual sub job on occasion, so yes.

The only time I can think of where I liked gg was Code Geass, where troll subs are the best subs.

>>78768
>>78776

I downloaded the first episode with GG subs. They were totally fine.

How do you think the series would have turned out if Dio had succeeded in putting the mask on Jonathan?

>>78785
Presumably that would only have happened if he hadn't tried it out on that thug, and then he wouldn't know what sunlight does to vampires. And I guess Jojo might have been unable to contain his hunger and would have killed a bunch of people, then deliberately gotten himself killed out of remorse.

So long as Dio survived all that chaos, he'd probably get what he wanted with no additional fuss.

>>78788
no Jonathan = no Joseph = Pillar Men rape the world in 1938

The DUWANG subs are fucking magical.

Sooo, which would you say carries the Hokuto no ken legacy better, Jojo or Saint Seiya?

/jam/, what's the average physical strength of a Stand? Like how much could a "normal" one lift, carry, etc.? What about long and close ranged ones?

>>78876
JoJo of course.
Despite having Lost Canvas, Omega is pretty much tarnishing Saint Seiya for the worst.

>>78881
iirc long ranged are supposed to be physically weaker, and the closer you get the stronger you get, hence Dio and Jotaro being punching powerhouses.

Of course, now that stands are all crazy eclectic in their specialties that's kind of been thrown to the wind.

>>78882
No way, from the manga pages I've seen here, Saint Seiya is way manlie-

>Omega
OMEGA

DOES NOT

COUNT!

>>78887
you dare question Jojo's manliness?

>>78881

Generally speaking close-range combat stands are physically strong, long-range stands are physically weak but have other advantages. Star Platinum/The World is sufficiently strong to bend steel bars in a single blow.

The exception to this is Automatic Stands, which have effectively infinite range and are generally overwhelmingly powerful. They also don't send damage inflicted on them back to the stand's user. The disadvantage, however, is that you can't control them directly. They operate on a limited system of basic rules and behaviors, like a rudimentary AI, which once understood can usually be turned against them, or used to bypass them altogether.

>>78887
Omega counts.
Deal with it nerd.

>>78889
I don't even know what to say, man

>>78897
The author of the manga might have -already- contradicted/disproved Omega in his current manga.

To be fair, even Lost Canvas doesn't count as canon, even though it's mostly pretty good and still kinda manly.

>>78889
Jagi dude has a serious case of chicken hair.

>>78896
Speaking of automatic stands, I'm pretty sure the motorcycle-stand currently chasing Josuke is one. Its method of tracking points to it being automatic.

>>78901
>Jagi dude has a serious case of chicken hair.
>Jagi dude

>>78904

That's my suspicion as well.

ジョジョの奇妙な２歳…

Oh geeze that's cute.

Do we have a higher quality OP yet?

We're getting closer to this scene. I hope it makes it into the anime, since I have a feeling that the horse scene will be censored.

>Get shit kicked in during first episode
>Get shit kicked in twice during second episode
>Still manage to lose against a pre-Ripple Jonathan even with super vampire powers
>Spend the final battle of Phantom Blood as a decapitated head
>Has "The World" beaten despite getting an upgrade from sucking Joseph's blood
>Get cut in half by train in Part 7
>Commits trans-dimensional suicide in Part 7

Why do people both in and out universe like this loser again?

>>78918
Because those weak in spirit fall over themselves to worship evil prettyboys.
See also- Sephiroth

>>78918
He's charismatic and he has a persistence that is admirable to some. Plus, he was probably the first villain that many fans of jjba had exposure to I suppose. That said, I prefer Cars and Kira to Dio.

>>78918

Well keep in mind all Jojo Antagonists have their ups and downs.

Dio did manage to kill Johnathan (eventually) and take his body, plus he managed to get a whole bunch of stand users together and successfully killed like, 3/4 of Jotaro's party.

Yea Joseph survived but it was via complete bullshit science that really shouldn't have made sense.

I mean hell, he probably would've beat Jotaro if he didn't conveniently have THE EXACT SAME POWER that let him murder basically everyone else.

>>78921

Haven't read part 4 due to DUWANG but Cars is... kinda boring IMHO.

I mean all he really is, is some generic "HUR HUR HUR! I AM THE SUPERIOR/ULTIMATE LIFEFORM" shtick. He's incredibly boring up until the end when he becomes a shape shifting monstrosity.

Seriously Joseph and Ceasar are the real reasons people like Part 2. The Pillar Men are really just an excuse for them to have to do shit.

>>78922
Cars wasn't the most complex or interesting villain. but I emjoyed him and the rest of the Pillarmen all the same. I respect your opinion but disagree. For me at least, Part 2 was enjoyable for more than just two characters. Joseph and Caesar were among the best parts of that story, but they weren't the only pieces of it that I enjoyed.

>>78923
Like Wham, for example.

>>78924
Wham was more interesting than Cars and I enjoyed his interactions with both Jojo and Caesar. I also love Stroheim. Nazi Cyborg Guile will always have a place in my heart.

>>78922
I enjoyed the ACDC fight quite a lot. That shit was pretty freaky.

Proper subs for 3 came out yesterday.
http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=364823

How people can stand gg, I will never know.

>>78956
I don't get it.

>>78898
To be fair with both series, judging for the way Kurumada deals with the other series, it could be said that his only canon is the original Saint Seiya manga. Everything else is "meh" for him.

>>78956
most people can't, it's just ggdev sockpuppets shitposting
there might be one or two amusing lines per gg sub but even when they're not joking around it usually sounds way better in the Nutbladder/Commie subs
I can see going for a "so bad it's good" kind of thing like DUWANG does but gg can't even muster that consistently or use even basic British slang properly so it just looks like shit the whole way through
