JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 8: JoJolion

Ah, damnit.

 

I don't understand.

 

I have been hooked ultra-hard on every Jojo arc until then. Stardust Crusaders remains my all-time favorite, but I absolutely adored Steel Ball Run for both the story, the art and the western movie feeling, and I also loved hating the absolute betrayal the ending of Stone Ocean was, throwing the totality of the previous arcs, Okuyasu included, into oblivion, was destestable and ballsy.

 

But, here...

No, it simply doesn't "click" anymore with me. No matter how many times I try to read and re-read it, I'm not pulled in, I can't find it compelling anymore.

 

I find it sad and end up blaming myself, that I can't like a Jojo series

Well I guess it's just not the part for you. It is my favourite part and it "clicks" more than anything before,but considering it's way different from any other part there will be all kinds of opinions.

Yasuho: "Here's tragic backstory."

Jousuke: "Did u say something?"

Rai: "Omg who the hell cares?!"

 

:<

Yeah that was pretty cold of them.

I still don’t get why Araki always draws his characters to look so homogay :T

 

Very strange art style he’s got going on.

But that's like the best part of the art!

who the fuck digs with a knife

Psychopaths ^^

At first I didn't know where this chapter was going with the flashback, but it's so good to see Yasuho get some development and a reason to stay relevant to the story outside of just helping Josuke.

Something tells me that phone number that woman threw out of her car window was meant for someone else.

is that the boss baby

LMAO YES 

I'm gonna be spending the entire time until its brought up again obsessing over that mega-mysterious foreshadowing Mamezuku dropped about Soft & Wet, I can't wait to see what sorts of crazy shit comes out of that. It's already my favorite Stand, Araki, what could possibly make it even more awesome?

Hold the phone, is soft and wet just Rotation in Stand form like Tusk?

Either that, or this is the true power of the fusion between Josefumi's S&W and Kira's Killer Queen.

It would certainly explain why Araki made a distinction between Josefumi's power being "Absorption" and Josuke's being "Plunder". Perhaps we have yet to see Josuke's full capabilities if it is something like String Theory.

Most likely. Or Araki will pull out String Theory late in the game.

You know, the Pillar Men thought they were superior, too, and look what happened. :V Kira thought he was amazeballs, too, and look what happened. Diavolo thought he was the shizznit, and look what happened. (At least he killed nearly everyone first. :V)

 

Dio thought he was ubersauce, and...well...yeah... Road rollers didn't save him.

 

It's pretty obvious who is going to win.

I noticed you didn't mention Pucci. It only takes one of these OP mofo's to 'sort of' win for a catastrophe to ensue. 

And I guess Funny Valentine sort of won too, since all he wanted was prosperity for America. Didn't make him less of an asshole.

Ah, damnit.

lol no jin? Only two of The Jo☆Stars reference, Coda and Tommy.

They're probably references to Poor Tom which is a song on the Zeppelin album Coda. Ozone Baby is coincidentally a song on that album as well.

Improvised crossbows using his own body parts WHILE hanging for his life with one arm and his FLESH IS BEING EATEN ALIVE BY EVIL STAND SUPER BACTERIA?
