It is impossible to explain this character's purpose in the narrative.
>>282463233At least she is a woman, you will never be one.
>>282463233Araki wanted to add a feminine touch to the group, but eventually removed her because he thought their difficult journey was unfit for a girl.
>>282463390maybe he should have added an adult with a stand then, instead of a useless young girl
>>282463233nothing weird..simply cut content. Just like Hol Horse not joining the crusaders
>>282463233The purpose is to be a token kid sidekick
>>282463390Why keep her in for the anime, then?
>>282463529Probably because they wanted to do a more faithful adaption of Part 3 compared to how the OVAs were.
>>282463529Because 1) DP stays faithful to the manga, and 2) She wasn't irrelevant enough to be cut from the narrative.
>>282463465Why is 5 the only part without a kid sidekick?
>>282463831Giorno is the kid sidekick, isn't he like 14 or 15?
>>282463831>>282463886>They forgot about Narrancia
NO ONE CARES
>>282463233The guys needed a flashlight to reduce their stressThe monkey knew this and that’s why it tried to get its fill too
>>282463233Shounen manga used to have random kids in their manga back then
>>282463233She's JoJo's Short Round. Simple as that.
>>282463423I think he said he would have wrote her different today, wheras back then, he just didn't know what to do and dropped her from the group
>>282463986I thought it was from josuke's perspective
>>282463831That's Trish for most of the story until she gets a stand, and then goes back to it when the couple of fights she has are over.
>>282465345>I tried writing her getting raped by an orangutan and now I'm all out of ideas
>>282463233Indeed
>>282463886He’s the same size as everyone else.>>282463952Same age as everyone else.
>>282463233Is part 5 good? Going through part 3 legit killed most of my drive to continue Jojo
>>282463294rent free
>>282463390Araki wanted her to join the group and become a stand user. He wanted to have more stand battles with people who didn't look like they could fight because stands are psychic power that is not tied to physical appearance. His editor at the time was the one who vetoed her joining iirc.
>>282469267Part 5 is difficult to judge. It basically just takes things from part 3 and 4 and rehashes them in Italy, and all women are completely useless forever.
>>282463986facts. blood stream remains undefeated for over a decade.
>>282469459I really do not understand the mentality of these editors. What teenage boy would be opposed to the addition of women to their media?
>>282463952Naranja is just a midget. He is 17 and actually older than Giorno
>>282471543It's not for horny teenagers it's for 10-12 year olds who still think girls are annoying and just want big mcmuscleman to punch the bad guys.
>>282463233In the 80s and 90s, every movie had to have a little kid in it because the Jews in Hollywood thought kids wouldn't watch a film if it didn't have a kid in it they could self-insert into. Anime and manga followed suit.I'm actually pretty sure Araki said this himself. Every part inexplicably has some little brat in it.
>>282471651I wouldnt have thought jojo's target demographic was 10-12
>>282471651Maybe I'm not japanese enough but its not like I was bothered by the girls in digimon when I was a kidI liked Togemon and the pink hat girl
>>282471738It's called shonen jump for a reason man
>>282463233She should've become Jotaro's wife. Well at least she had a shower scene, so it's not like we got nothing out of her.
>>282469267Part 3 is by far the best part with stands, if you didn't like it then you should skip parts 4, 5 and 6.
>>282471738That's cause it isn't.
>>282469459What's your source? This is mine.
>>282471818Yes but jojo always seemed to toe the line between shonen and seinen. Its even published in ultra jump now.
>>282471880He treats women the same way Oda treats Zoans. They don't exist until he realizes it's been forever since one showed up, then he dumps them all in the same arc.
>>282463233>It is impossible to explain this character's purpose in the narrative.>purpose of the character in the narrative is explained on the second post
>>282471880This does kinda read like he wanted to have a girl involved in the fighting and for her to develop a stand but the wider social culture would have rejected it, which leads credence to the editor theory.
I don't know but she fulfilled her purpose with the shower scene
Yes
>>282463529Because the anime follows the manga relatively faithfully. It doesn't get every single thing 1:1, but removing an entire character that lasted through a handful of fights for no reason would have been dumb.
Araki: This girl will be a character and she'll get a stand along the way>26 minutes laterAraki: Actually never mind. Maybe later with someone else
>>282471880THE WOKE CRUSADERS
>>282463390I kinda get why. Stardust Crusaders rogue gallery mostly consists of people who specialize in physical and psychological torture towards the protagonists. A character who is simply just "Girl: the character" wouldn't work and would have to be written with way stronger steeled nerves so-to-speak
her purpose was to make my dick hard

>>282473458Bizarre taste
>>282463233Here's her purpose
>>282474233
Jotaro's future ex-wife.
>>282474305Not even true.
>>282474233>>282474265They showed her butt a lot more compared to the manga
>>282474233>>282474265How old is this character?
>>282474233>Here's her purposeSounds good to me.
>>282463233Joylne's mother.
Here's my unpopular opinion, I liked Anne. Araki gave up on her character entirely too quickly.
>>282471738>>282471796It's more of a generational thing than a Japanese thing. GI Joe was for the same demographic back then.
>>282478008about sexo years old
>>282478173She's there for the entire journey after Japan and before Egypt, she has way more episodes than any other kid sidekick besides Emporio, and she does nothing the entire time.
Is Kakyoin actually the main bro of part 3, or is it Polnaroff?
>>282469860>all women are completely useless forever.Hey now, Trish is cool that one time
>>282463233He wanted every season to have a side kick
Trailer?
>>282478008The correct age.
>>28247800814 IIRC
>>282474233Based hebephile Araki
>>282474233>>282474265What did Araki mean by this? Why did he stop doing this?
>>282480050i guess the one who survives is the winner.iggy is the best jojobro in my heart
>>282480152Trish sort of saves the day once, and is useless for the rest of the part.
>>282463294Fucking pathetic.You might as well have gone "SAAAAAR" Same braindead boilerplate faggotry.
>>282471651>>282471738part one had panels like this.idk man
>>282463233an excuse to some some loli ass on tv
>>282463294dude, i hate trannies, but this level of obssesion is pathethic
>>282481740We built guns out of texters at that age. Boys love violence.
>>282463233Real life is all about pointless and one off interactions
>>282463233the show was a sausage fest
>>282463233>>282475440The biggest mistake in Jotaro's life
>>282481740When I was 12 I thought Elfen Lied was the hardest shit ever. Only when I was 12.
>>28247800840 out of 1
>>282471880part 2 had lisa lisa though
>>282474233how come she didn't got fanarts or doujins or anything like that?
>>282474265>>282474233POV: you are pedophile orangutan
>>282484036She was fourteen, bro.
>>282463233To make you understand that Jotaro is NOT gay
>>282463464retard >>>/v/
>>282490889And he was 17, so?
>>282471651>it's for 10-12 year olds who still think girls are annoying and just want big mcmuscleman to punch the bad guys.It was better this way until trannygashi attacked
>>282463233She was supposed to be the Short Round to Joseph’s Indiana Jones. Then Araki realized he didn’t like the concept as much as he thought he would and ditched it
>>282463233Being naked and almost monked
>>282478008
>>282488475She did, but it's all just her getting fucked by the ape.
>>282494114What would she have done during the Dio showdown
>>282463294Did you post on a wrong board?
>>282494751Gotten used as a hostage like Lisa Lisa.
>>282478008Whatever she is, it is out of 10
>>282478953Is that Anne the character's fault, or is that Araki's fault that he couldn't think of anything for her to do?
>>282495854She's not even a character, she's just "girl." What could she possibly do that wouldn't require changing her entirely?
>>282495745Ahpapapap.No. Just shut the fuck up.And this reversal is so passe.
>>282463986Chase was great, I still don't understand why people hate it. It's my favorite part 4 opening
>>282478415So was Thundercats though
