Chapter 33 pre-release thread.Hacca Howler gets pushed into a corner and finally surrenders the Hualālai north slope before using his Stand to escape the U.S. Navy. With its purpose fulfilled, the lava rock crumbles in Dragona’s hands as everyone leaves the sinking yacht.What will the next arc be about? Post your predictions.
>>286141103It’s not another time or reality stand. It’s gravity based to match Jodio’s
>>286141103Old universe>stop time>rewind time>skip time>fast-forward timeNew universe>control good fortune>control bad fortuneMy prediction is that it controls neutral fortune. Enforces the status quo and prevents asspulls and conveniences.There's a real chance Howler will be the final boss of Jojo as a whole, if Jojolands is the final part. A stand that counters the twists of fate that have protected every Joestars for almost 40 years is the perfect cap off to the series.
>>286141103Maybe visiting Rohan again to see if he has another Lava Rock?
>>286141103>pre-release thread.
I was kinda speed reading, why did he sign to sell off the land?
Spacetime, gravity, Spin, FateOther than these
>>286141404Presumably, it's because he'd never get his land back if the government gains custody of it.
This is boring Where's Yasuho?
>>286141404because the lava rock would stop making him lose everything if he just stopped 'owning' the thing they had used the lava rock to call dibs on
>>286141636Probably somewhere gargling four balls at once.AND NONE OF THEM ARE JOSHU'S!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!
>>286141103wtf is araki going to do with key west, why did the gang even pick her up
>>286141103I want to pick un part 9 gain but I forgot which scan group was the good one, which group do you guys recommend?
>>286142027there's literally only one...
>>286142027go back to /an/
>>286142235Not a single tranny in part 9
>>286141712At least one of Joshu's hands is fondling those balls, heh heh heh
>>286142053I've looked up and you are right, there is only HWMN, what the hell happened to the others like Dogpark and We need more Yankiis?
>>286141295This kills the Jojo.
>>286142286can't spell transvestite without trans
I want more of Usagi and Paco hanging out together
>>286141103Who's dumping? Not it.
>>286141103>What will the next arc be about?Probably finding Charming's brother. That's the reason he joined so he's 100% going to push hard for it. It could also be about cops being on their ass since Lulu fucking killed Laem. No clue what they're gonna do with Key.
>>286141295>New universe>control good fortune>control bad fortunevalentine's dimension hoping abilities were unrelated to fortune, it wasn't until the end with love train that fortune even became a factor. It's likely Hacca's abilities are also unrelated to fortune at this point, or else he might actually had been capable of combating the lava rock effect instead of having ot sign the paper.
i was looking forward to more lava rocks plot but i guess araki didn't want another Milagro Man incident.
Ok guys, if she's still alive, will Key West join?
>>286143946Fuck no
>>286143946Hell nah.
>>286141404The Lava rock would continue turning karma against him until he lost everything, by giving up the land he avoided the worst outcome which was not only losing the land but losing everything else he owned too

Look, I am not saying it's a bad chapter but it's probably the dumbest jojo chapter I have ever read and that is saying a lot
>>286145522Thought I was the only one, the black guy and others look like giants.
I hope Rohan doesn't actually have another rock or even the means to get one. I feel like Howler should be the one to bring the rock back into the plot.
What if the rest of the part consists of a Stardust Crusaders-esque journey towards a Mumbai scam call center
This is all apart of Howlers secret plan to get the land backTrust in our hero
Is it me or was Jodio a little extra autistic? >only speaking through Dragona>only helping because Dragona was
>>286145522>>286145657Call me crazy, but considering the art in the first chapter, I genuinely think Araki did it on purpose.
I really don't know how to feel about this chapterAt least It wasn't bad.
>>286144457Our heroes spared the lesbians
I want to LOVE AND SUPPORT Usagi's mom>>286145263I wish they did this to me while I was reading Part 8's ending
>>286145713After getting the land, the "mechanism" stopped. Just wait till the "mechanism" starts moving again.
>>286145657>>286145722It's obviously on purpose. Araki sometimes exaggerate characters proportions to make them feel more threatening.
Only Ningbo died, lmao.
>>286144534>>286144555Why are these guys gigantic
I fucking hope Charmingman comes back soon
>>286145846>our resident army brat was so Phantom Bloodpilled that the strongest firefighter in Hawaii couldn't even employ enough Jojo villain plot armor to stop himself from being atomized
So his mom is going out to see the scammed? I know why the money is gone but I don't understand why she left.
>>286145982Well would YOU want to be in this manga
We are going back bros
>>286145982Short answer: We don't know.Long answer: Money can be exchanged for goods and services, and the organs of stupid crippled little children can be exchanged for money.
It looks like Araki wrote a 9 month timeskip to avoid dealing with the consequences of the previous arc. Hopefully he won't avoid addressing the relation between Lulu and Howler and Charming Man's initial goal.
>>286145138Not just any stand...
We had a nine month time skip so Dragona could give birth to the baby I put in him last chapter, please understand.
>>286145452that's my mentally insane protagonist!!!!
>>286146142how many plot lines do you think araki simply 'forgot' about.
wasn't charming man's whole deal wanting to figure out what happened to his missing brother in the hua lai lands they just got? Has he really just spend the last 9 months patiently waiting until the police and government stop investigating to come in to search for his brother? really???
>>286145316>>286145341Aren't there laws explicitly forbidding selling organs meant for donation? How could she possibly have a signed agreement for this?
>>286141712neither josuke's
>>286146366What are the odds Araki has already forgotten the opening page where Jodio escapes a volcanic eruption? I highly doubt we see something like that
>>286146142I doubt he would forget about Lulu and Howler, that wouldn't be dropped unless he does it on purpose like Kei in Jojolion. Charm's brother is in a dangerous spot because it is only important to charm.
>>286146421It's not like he has a choice. If he could have gotten on sight he wouldn't have bothered waiting to steal the location.
why did he even let the lesbians alive? will they come back or does araki just like them and din't want them dead
>>286146421All the new faces there investigating the land could be an opportunity for him to slip in and do his own investigation.
Giving too much thought to what is essentially Milagro Man 2. Transitioning filler between one part of the story and the other.
>>286144480>kagurabachi part 1 end>jojolands act 2 the next dayWOW POWERFUL!!!
>>286145263>the weak should fear the strong
>>286144502Man's a Real Idiot...
Transgona.
Did Jodio lose his drive after getting the land and nothing happening for 9 months? He mostly whispers to Dragona, helps just because he is doing so, and is without words when talking to Rohan. He only locks in when he thinks of taking everything from the scammers.
>>286147075Real G's move in silence like autgism.
>>286146703Johnny and Gyro look pretty damn great in the part 9 art style. Joseph and Caesar look like shit.

Really weird chapter:Nine months timeskip? I understand Hacca has to wait for the thunderstorm during the new moon, but Charming Man didn't find his brother during all this time? And I presume Laem and Key are now fully recovered (maybe Yokohama is not).In the first chapter Jodio says Paco is still in high school, in the megayacht arc it's said he managed to graduate, but now he still has to graduate...Jodio says the part in the contract about exchanging the O'ahu land to Howler is fake, there is no O'Ahu land, but now Meryl says that Howler received that land in exchange of the Hualalai North Slope...How come Jodio has Rohan number?
>>286141404He basically had to, for lack of a better term, "amputate" the land so he wouldn't lose everything else.
I'm not sure what Araki is cooking with that 9 months timeskip when it could easily have been changed to just one month. Maybe Howler is preparing a counter-attack that requires several months? Maybe he's behind the internet scam to lure the gang?
>>286148152>Charming Man didn't find his brother during all this time?It is federally owned land now. Hard to comb it for dead brothers.>in the megayacht arc it's said he managed to graduatepicrel
>>286144534Why is the black guy a giant?
>>286147496He was always innocent. The accusations were just "fate" pressuring him.
>>286147804Maybe the camera was prefabricated?Or maybe a translation error and someone said the magic word
>>286148355I think the scam will be someone tied to Howler but Howler actually isn't involved. If Howler really wanted to he could just show up one night and attack the Joestars.>>286148152Yeah I agree about it being a bit weird. Also Usagi can just use his stand by himself now? I know stands can evolve but Matte Kudasai without the limitation of needing others is very strong.
>>286147804Usagi is a fucking LIAR
>>286145505>Jodio got Rohan's number
>Lulu was like 12 in Act 1>if there's another 9-month timeskip in Act 3 she'll be about 14, so she may get a growth spurt and re-designhmn>>286148398giganigga
About Usagi, I think Araki simply ''cut'' the moment someone asks Usagi something. He did the same thing in the Bags Groove arc.
>>286144988>Charmingman exited the story

This timeskip is really strange:Mauka is in the cave since 9 months (assuming he's still alive)Laem and Key should have been fully recovered and...they didn't try to retaliate in any way against the Iko Iko group?Paco still has to graduateI understand in the Iko Iko secret room there are still bullet holes because,like they said, they can't call repairmens who'd probably spill the bean about it, but there are also broken forniture that in nine months nobody removed.I think Araki first draw the entire chapter and only then decided the timeskip to be 9 months (and I think he could change it in the volume release).
>>286149216>they didn't try to retaliate in any way against the Iko Iko group?The guy they were working for is broke and MIA, they're outnumbered, plus they got their asses kicked last time. Why would they try to fight these kids again?
>>286149216>>286149216>Laem and Key should have been fully recoveredOne of them was last seen throwing up parts of her lungs and the other essentially got her head smacked into a metal railing at full force. They're effectively retired.>Paco still has to graduateThere are 25+ year old "kids" who don't graduate high school to game the system, Paco's probably doing the same>I understand in the Iko Iko secret room there are still bullet holes because,like they said, they can't call repairmens who'd probably spill the bean about it, but there are also broken forniture that in nine months nobody removed.They also had a SWAT team storm the building, and with Meryl talking about a tunnel exit, it implies the boutique is closed. It's very possible that they just didn't meet up at all for 3-4 months after the heist then have been meeting sporadically since.
>>286149002I really don't like that he is 1-1 with old rohan. Every new world variant have been different from their counterpart some extremely different. Josuke 8 and Josuke 4 share a name and that is about it. Second I've soured on rohan by all the rohan one shots over years forcing a break every once in a while. Also his stand was already OP in part 4 it feels game breaking in a part where even the main jojo has a limited situation stand

>>286145722Somebody tell Jodio to stop buying magnifying glass car windows just because he's seen them in tiktok.

>>286149924worse than jojolion's first half, better than jojolion's second half.

>>286151457they don't need to outweight anything because all of the arcs you listed range from good to great... other than paper moon arc. That shit is probably the worst arc in ALL of jojo lmao.

Dunno about you guys, but I really like the act division, it really helps TJL to differentiate itself from previous partsI just hope these scammer guys are somehow involved with Holwer and whatever bigger threat it was building up before.
If Usagi is because of bunny, then Tory is because of bird?

>Yasuho set up the internet scam>Gappy is gonna use Tory’s organs in an experiment to save HollyNever. Fucking. Left.

Will this arc also explain Usagi's addiction or is that just something Araki came up to attach him to the gang
>>286153304>Josuke is going to use the organs of a disabled 13 year old He would do that, wouldn't he?
>>286153304Jojolion took place in 2014 right? When does JoJolands take place?
It's crazy that this has become the only place on the internet where people complain about jojorion
>>286151852(S)he thinks Jodio is being a bit disingenuous I figure, since Jodio usually always has a plan and has pretty strong convictions over it. Essentially, Dragona thinks Jodio is using him as a scapegoat to pretend he's a cool and cold sociopath. But also, the character dynamics seem a bit weird here so I assume everyone's on edge over the money
>>286154080Jojolion took place in 2012 actually. And Jojolands takes place in the Post-Covid 2020s, so 2022 at the earliest, but probably just the year it was released in (2023).
>>286145505>"Stand users attract stand" users energy is so weak in this universe he has to call a friend to draw their crew to the wealth in questionTimes have changed...
>>286153840Much better. I forgot that bit. Thanks.
I think Laem and Key survived so Araki could leave Lulu with them until Howler shows up again.

JoJolion is a masterpiece to midwits and it gives them cred for not being anime only. Also places like Reddit basically censor anyone who goes against the group.
>>286141295>A stand that counters the twists of fate that have protected every Joestars for almost 40 years is the perfect cap off to the series.That's underwhelming after Pucci was already a final boss who was blatantly protected and favored by Fate over the Joestars.
>>286156113>JoJolion is a masterpiece to midwits and it gives them cred for not being anime onlyThis. Plus, making essayposts and videos about how Tooru was a misunderstood masterpiece of a villain is the hot thing now.
>>286156113The first half of Jojolion is the best the series has ever been, then it shat the bed hard in the second half.
>>286144534>>286144555Why is this nigga gigantic?
>>286155700Dragona is finally realizing that he's not the lead JoJo, he's just a BroJo. And he doesn't like it.
>>286153995he isn't addicted, he can and did leave it when he wants
>>286155109It would be pretty funny if they were to appear and looked exactly the same for no reason.
>>286153995Usagi feels like a pretty different character from the start desu
>>286156206Dude the themes, the symbolism, how he is the perfect counterpart to Josuke and was foreshadowed, its a masterpiece.>>286156240Nah. First half was good but the flaws of the part were present there too, just it was better held together by the editor. Which is the reason the second half is much worse, as he left and the new guy did a bad job, basically too young and scared to tell Araki what to change.
Is Usagi being on drugs a dropped plot point? Could be a good explanation for the strife between his mom and him
JoJoland's first part is legit better than JoJolion first part, but people don't care because the main cast don't have humanoid punch stands and the fights are smaller scaled.
>>286156561>Yasuho dresses way different, has a noticeably softer demeanor, and is moving towards a hag body type>Gappy looks the exact sameI'd laugh.
>>286147583I don't know about Dio but this was definitely the intent behind Kira, Diavolo, and pucci
>>286156959Dio was going on about his and Jonathan's shared fates since Part 1, and Part 3 was the start of his Heaven schizobabbling.
>>286156240>>286156672I think it's a great on a first but worse on a second read. There is a great anticipation and build the first time but when you know a lot of dots aren't going to connect. Or when you don't have months to years stopping you from noticing the long distance auto stand spam it feels much worse. A lot of JJL problems are in retrospect or due to binging
>>286155115he actually completely traced The Beekeeper for Usagi's mom scene
>>286145583>>286145555This arc started strong despite the giganiggasGod I love Jodio and Pacco so much
>>286145084>>286145110Why did Meryl Mei suddenly become Valentine here?
This Part is shit, but I keep reading it somehow.
>>286149002I didn't like when he returned initially in Part 9 because it felt forced kinda, but the setup in this chapter for his return is strong so I'm holding out hopeShame that he won't get to interact with Charming Man
>>286156906It isn't, up to Cat Size Part 9 was pretty weak but then from Charming Man's introduction the manga has been consistently funMeanwhile Jojolion stayed consistently great up to Milagro Man and even after that arc the manga didn't quite go to shit immediately but rather the manga kept slowly becoming worse from Blue Hawaii onwardHowever we should be OK with Part 9 as long as Araki doesn't change editors like in Jojolion, I really hope Araki doesn't fuck up 9's cast is awesome so far
>>286156959>>286156984Dio talked a lot of fate in 1 and 3, relating more to people having peace of mind. Then of course the fate of being entwined with the Joestars, down to them activating their stands because of him. Part 6 ties DIO fully into the fates connection by introducing Made in Heaven, a stand that removes the user from fate while accelerating time so the world will forever be locked into theirs. Kars is the odd one out all things considered.>>286157065Yes, true. Hindsight and/or a reread will cast it in a different light.
the worst realization I had was to reread Part 8 and realize that most of the arcs are a dragging slog to read through, first half included
>>286145583Feels weird that they're temporarily removing Charming Man from the story since he's the most popular character from Part 9 in Japan from my understanding
The middle of Part 8 + the first arc was the only legitimately good part of itWoU was so bad it's good the entire time, and is vastly more enjoyable than it deserves to be because of it
>>286157703>not taking Japan's opinion of Jojo seriously EVERGood choice.
>>286144680I actually thought this page was from Jodio's perspective at first and the reason why he's acting so much more distant this chapter was because he got some medical problem, but I might be having a schizo moment
>>286157719It was a wild time reading it week to week, not knowing where things were going. All the theories on how to counter it, what the cast would, are we near the end, the flash forward were fun. Shame how it turned out but most of WoU was good.
>>286157703I like to imagine Charming Man will come back, but he was extremely one track over the land so it makes sense he'll temporarily divorce from the gang. Even as far back as part 5 there were arcs that had a some of the jobros removed while some side shit happened. Part 8 did it extensively although the only "real" jobros were Rai (late addition) and Yasuho
>>286157719Wonder of U was bad, but it had hype. I'll agree though, the first arc of 8 was phenomenal. My Glorious King Norisuke as well as Jobin was a highlight of the part though
>>286155529some chapters were more action oriented, and some focused on antagonists>>286155550not all parts had this pure retard energyfor example, okuyasu had to singlehandedly carry part 4 with his single brain cell
>>286158288Okuyasu was high Retardation high Intuition, whereas everyone else was low Intuition yet still mid-high retardation. I don't know which gang would be considered the most cerebral as part 8 is kind of carried by Rai's genuinely recordbreaking Intelligence or Intuition, part 7 was maybe the group with the most consistently average to above average intelligence. 5 was like that as well
>>286145722>>286144534Mezzo Forte feels
I fucking love Usagi
>>286157719>so bad it's goodCan't relate. I thought it was fine right up until Kei and Rai get killed. Up until then it seemed like WoU's weaknesses were starting to get worked out and there could be an actual confrontation but instead we throw in rock insects and airplanes.
>>286155635speedwagon had high emotional iq but i would otherwise describe him as not particularly sharp
>>286159397He's a well-traveled man who started his own vastly successful oil empire. Don't sell him short.
>>286156240>>286156672another aspect from jojolion i feel isnt mentioned as much is that on a first read going blind you get the sense of it being a more "serious" and in depth story, it has a lot of panels where it hangs on characters looking conflicted and panning enviromental shots, gives it a (i know its overused just bear with it) "cinematic" feelingthis of course all goes the drain on second read when you know its not actually gonna amount to anything and all of the setup trying to build tension and intrigue was araki genuinely just wasting pages cuz he didn't know where to take the plot next and needed to put out a new chapter
>>286158288It was also a bit off-putting since the gang in part 9 felt like bad people, but they're a bit more endearing now because they care about each other a little bit and all that
>>286159432that is true but rereading part 1 he very much comes off as extremely easily surprised and befuddled by literally anything that happens, which is almost entirely the fault of him getting the narrator role, but i choose to read him explaining what he just saw out loud every time as part of his character
>>286159517>he very much comes off as extremely easily surprised and befuddled by literally anything that happensIt was a rather bizarre adventure.
>>286158049You did have a schizo moment, but we love you anyway anon
>>286159500I don't think Usagi or Dragona are particularly bad people. Paco's a sleazy prick with an ultraviolent side, but he's not any worse than young Joseph or Jotaro ever were. Jodio and Charmingman are the only real bastards.
>>286144534I'm gonna be honest, the giant faces might be a mistake but it's a genius mistake. I hope they don't correct it because it's genuinely funny and a pretty good representation of somebody overbearing on you while you try not to panic
>>286159708Well it was mostly just Jodio's narration and thoughts we got at the start, so that was a rather miserable first impression, everyone else was alright, especially Usagi
>>286159611Thank you anon I appreciate it>>286159708Jodio comes off like he genuinely cares about his brother and somewhat cares enough about his "friends" to be less of a dickish rogue. Charming Man is like that, but treated the gang previously like allies of convenience instead of friends. I wonder if that changed post time-skip, nine months is a long time (coincidentally, the length that it takes to gestate a human baby). This is also a weird JoJo with character dynamics being predetermined instead of developed, Jodio and Dragona were already friends with Paco, and somewhat knew Usagi through the principal. It's interesting to have a cast like that I think.
>>286157581Any stroke evidence in part 9? other than Usagi vs Bags Groove?
>>286144457WHAT'S SHE DOING OUT OF THE BASEMENT? DID SHE ESCAPE? DID THEY LET HER GO?
>>286160283They were only keeping her for Holwer Info. Jobs done so they kicked her out
>>286159904Araki is just Hokutomaxxing
>>286159950My metric is how eager they are to kill someone. Dragona and Usagi are the bleeding hearts of the group. Paco absolutely annihilated Ningbo, but he's never shown a desire to do grievous harm to anyone else.Charmingman seems pretty dispassionate about people in general, he almost slashed up a random stranger while trying to attack, and he went for the kill with Jodio, Dragona and Paco with no remorse.Jodio has killed someone before, feeling no remorse for it, he went for the kill on other people multiple times, and he very nearly gas chambered a bus full of mostly innocent kids.
>>286160713Jodio can't exactly hold back considering his stand basically rains bullets at people
This may be the longest in-part time skip since the beginning of part 3(DIO's coffin salvage to the Jotaro jail scene)
>>286161119Has Jojo ever had a real time skip before? Not something like city to city travel but a noticeable change in time outside of DIO's coffin? Maybe Joseph's training or part 1
>>286161153PB has 2 major timeskips(Baby Jonathan, Teen Jonathan and Adult Jonathan) and there's a 50 year time skip at the end of BT. outside of those I can't really recall.
>>286144399drew this after getting home.
>>286161510I think the biggest time-skip in the series is technically after the first page or so of Phantom Blood.>>286161512HAWT!

>>286146439My guess is that it's something like>get her to sign an agreement for organ donation the normal 'legal' way>have some position in a hospital or similar where you pull some strings to make sure those organs go to some epstein types who need a transplant or whatever>they in an entirely unrelated course of events happen to give a large philanthropic donation to the hospital or some similar thing the scammer can get money off of>no selling going on here officer nothing like that
>>286149002I like Rohan and have no problems with him making appearances. My concern is purely that him making appearances is a sign characters from a certain other part will as well.
>>286163081>villain with a high ranking hospital positionARAKIIIIIIII
>>286148762Trips only power him up!
>>286145576Yasuho = god
>>286156240>>286156672>>286157065What are you talking about? Check the archive and read the first half of the storytime here and compare it to other parts. It's hilariously bad in a sense that made me actually appreciate the part more as a "so bad it's good" kind of story. It has without a doubt the most retarded dialogue in the series, even including part 6 schizobabbling
>>286163550Tooru...
>>286163178I want the Part 8 gang to show up in some form. I didn't hate Gappy and Yasuho, I think they were robbed by the issues the story had in the second half. If part 9 redeems some of that, is that really a bad thing?
>>286154572I mean, the reason they ran into Rohan in the first place was stand gravity. And likewise they've been bound to Howler by fate.
>>286145244Jodio to Dragona: yo this is just like in The Beekeeper (2024)
>>286145555Has Rohan ever swore at someone like that before
>>286166664That's probably just a translation thing. He probably just says "kusoyaro" or something which I feel like he's definitely done before. Someone check the RAW
>>286166664>>286166896He said it to Jodio in chapter 5 for breaking the other rock.
>>286161512I would fuck that man (yes homo)
>>286166664English is such a crass language that people now use heavy swears for casual stuff, so when translating, you either make the characters swear or let them sound like pussiest. translatorfag
>>286167672Nonsense, there's plenty of people who speak seriously and don't use swears like punctuation
>>286144534BIG nigga jumpscare

>>286144890>>286144922Great pages. Very atmospheric. Reminds me of Milagro Man. I can feel the cool night air and hear the city ambience. I don't remember when exactly Araki started using these giant circles to depict lights at night but it works really well.
>>286168196>Guys, I think he's going to help us.

>>286168304Looks like a Kiwi to me.
>>286168304>>286170633It looks bird-like to parallel The Mattekudasai... deepest lore
>>286144922why does he look so breedable in this page?
>>286156125that's because Pucci became part of the Joestar himself when he was fused with Dio's flesh (who was fused with Jonathan Joestar).
>>286144780I wish windows today has virus this entertaining. Reminds me of the win98, computers just can't get any infected today.
>>286147736All boomers are like this. Do you expect them to understand how computer work?
>>286141295bruh, have you been paying attention? It's absurdity or the power to control contradictions
>>286144534Why the fuck is this drawn like one piece art. What a messy drawing. The rest of the chapter look like this from this point onward.This was so much cleaner in comparison >>286145722
>>286144534Fucking Mohawkians
>>286154110If you notice we only started massively complaining about Jojolion after the storytime. We only started hating it after we read it. Most jojolion glazers are bandwagoners larpers who never actually read that garbage from beginning to end. The storytime was a real eye opener to how terrible Jojolion actually is.
>>286154110Is it? Back when jojolion was releasing I remember anons posting youtube links of several youtubers allegedly hating jojolion, I never watched them to know if it was actually true or if they were just ragebaiting with the thumbnails but I always thought that everyone hated jojolion until recently where opinions on it started to wane>>286172339People were complaining a lot about jojolion before the storytime what are you on about? The usual defense I see of jojolion is that it isn't a bad manga overall but it's still the worst jojo
>>286172000>the page where Jodio is missing a mouth is cleaner than this new one because muh wan pissogey
>>286145244>>286166454
>>286145522Rushed filler chapterArt and pacing will go back to normal next chapter. Or next arc.
>>286172444>it isn't a bad manga overall but it's still the worst jojoWell guess after the storytime the general consensus now is not only is JJL the worst jojo, it's a terribly written manga as well.
>>286172674Great edit anon, saved.
>>286162871Wouldn't Josuke's kids be either 100% Kira's or 100% Josefumi's?
>>286172774I like Jojolion more than Phantom Blood. And frankly if it wasn't for the anime, I'd like it more than Golden Wind too.
>>286172774The opinion seems about the same, I still se people saying that up to Tamaki Damo the manga is consistently amazing and there's some good things after but it's still the worst jojo by far and only slightly above average by the end of the manga
>>286163291We just had cop and firefighter villains. It would only make sense to go back to a hospital one
This part is unbelievably shit. I think Araki is running on fumes. Time to just let it end permanently.
>>286174981Why do you think so?
>>286175014unengaging story, weak protagonists and villains, overall lack of energy and stakes, boring worldbuilding, boring encounters/fights, etc...It's like Jojolion but even less focused and thought out. The zany humor and goofiness keeps it going because it might be amusing in small doses just because Araki's overall approach is goofy enough, but it definitely feels uninspired and unfocused. There's just a lack of ... forward momentum and direction to the whole thing, even individual situations feel aimless and arbitrary, let alone the macro story arc. the art also got progressively more janky, and not in the usual endearing jojo way, but bordering on amateurish and grotesque. Just feels like Araki's heart is not in it and he's meandering around and uninspired.
>>286174732Either way, they'd be 50% his, and Joshu would be getting 0% laid.
>>286145555>>286145583
>>286175160>Just feels like Araki's heart is not in it and he's meandering around and uninspired.nope, that's objectively what happened to JoJolion, he thought this part out in the years between P8 and 9
>>286175236The emoji joke got stale a year ago.
>>286161512do u post ur art anywhere else?
>>286175236Love your edits, anoogie.
>>286144989>they fly out to fucking MoriohI think Rohan monologuing about the lava rocks through the phone is more likely
Why is Paco so nice
>>286179517He's got a heart of gold at the end of the day.
>Paco gets quick backstory blurb in the Ningbo fight>Usagi is getting an entire arcNot fair icecream bros
I'm not completely sold with this new arc to be honest, I wonder if it'll be a short story like Milagro man. I bet we won't be seeing Charmingman for a whole year.
>>286180512Trust the process, bro. ICE officer Stand gauntlet in 2027.
>>286144534Did americans really dress like this in 2023
So wgSpme sorta head docotor?"Huh"
>>286179517I remember when Jodio's mom implied he was a bully, guess he mellowed out to the rest of the gang after hanging out with them for so long.
>>286179517Mellowed out when Usagi came back with the car.
>>286183107Hawaii is a different beast alltogether
>>286179517He's just not sociable until he got adopted by extroverts>>286175160I can't really agree with this, the fights have been a lot more imaginative and the setting of making the cast much more amoral I feel is paying for some setup
>>286183995I don't think that trait has gone away, he just doesn't antagonize people if they don't piss him off or it doesn't benefit him. You can see in this chapter he seemed to have little to no interest in helping his friends unless it benefits him.
>>286162656>This faggot kewl can't even read katakana anymore kekanon...
>>286156240>The first half of Jojolion
>>286144457>they're not fucking deadWhat a fucking copout. When did Araki become such a fucking pussy?

>>286144534the fuckdoes this asshole even know how to draw anymore?
>>286144711>>286144780Besides being a real scam, this was the plot of "The Beekeeper" with Jason Statham.
And now we enter the "Can you get across this street covered in leaves, Jojo?" arc of Jojolands
>>286186804Yeah we know >>286172674Not the first time even this Jojo that Araki has made a naked copy of a piece of modern media
>>286186749keep reading the thread, it's intentional>>286186729qrd?
>>286186852Except the stakes are higher because Usagi's lil sis's organs are going to get stolen by jews
>>286174941>up to Tamaki Damo the manga is consistently amazingSo sorry but I have to disagree, I fell asleep twice during Born this Way arc and Doobie Wah arc. I am a Rock was good. Beetle fight and Tamaki Damo were amazing. But that's about it
>>286186355Yeah, when he started pulling out rocknimals out of his pockets is when I knew that this part was truly over
>>286187018Not just the big nigga, look at jodio's head looking like a rough unfinished sketch. I don't know why it's so hard to admit that Araki can have rough days sometimes art-wise, the man is like 65.
>>286188121>jodio's head looking like a rough unfinished sketchWhat the hell does that mean? His hair always looks like that.

>>286145452This is the page that has made me like Jodio the most as a character. He's essentially Giorno's role in passione actualized; a leader behind the scenes, seeing ways forth no one else sees, and pushing things further when everyone else plays it safe.
>>286199454Yeah, Jodio's not bad, it's just that in addition to being cruel and merciless, Giorno could also be really fucking scary but also still had a good heart, and I haven't really seen that for Jodio yet, but here's hoping he might get up to par with Giorno at some point
>>286199542Also, depending how Jodio develops in relation to Giorno, I'd like to see him acting as boss of the gang in Meryl's place for a decent amount of time in the story. Since Giorno only became the boss at the end of the Part 5, I'd like to see how Jodio would fare as a crime boss and the challenges he'd face.
>>286196614>Yasuho gets her pussy eaten by two guys at onceHeh.
>>286199542Jodio burned a school bus worth of children for his sister. If that's not a sign of a good heart, what is?
>>286201698Same stand
>>286197160I can't fucking stand dubs. Everyone talks the with a fraction of the energy and the audio quality is terrible like they're recording on the cheapest mics they could buy
>>286201698He is still a heccin bigot for not affirming his valid tranx xister and that makes him evil
I don't like the cast but JoJolands is good.
>>286201698>sistereh, they had it coming
>>286204425that's what i'm sayingtakes a good heart to burn alive the bullies of your brother
Looks like we're getting the SBR main theme earlier than expected. https://x.com/JOJO_magazine/status/2024680467828789624
>>286191284They're way better than the Higashikata family. At least Team Jodio does something with their screentime and doesn't waste it on raping/shitting on Yasuho 24/7.
>>286210673>and doesn't waste it on raping/shitting on Yasuho 24/7.That was the best part of JoJolion though
>>286212029It became absurdist comedy after a while, and the best part was that Josuke literally never stopped her from getting violated, nor did he ever care or even know that this kept happening to her.
