>>185488I was just thinking that it would be neat if the next Jojo is a girl too (probably wishful thinking though)! I know we have Jolyne, but I don't want her to be the 'token girl Jojo' so it'd be cool if there was another female Jojo who was different from her (but still badass in her own way). There's already such a variety of male Jojos I think we'd deserve at least one more girl… I also think it'd be cool to have an older Jojo. Even a protagonist in their early 20s could be interesting and different.
I don't mean to sound bleak, but I'm guessing time-wise there's only time for 1 or 2 more new Jojos before Araki retires or inevitably passes away. Of course he should take his time and take a break when he needs to, but I was just thinking how it's quite possible that this Jojo could be the last one.

>>453159Second ayrt, I feel vindicated, too. I think the story was boring and Giorno is a lame protagonist. Mista and Narancia were getting on my nerves. And I'm sort of on Diavolo's side because that guy is legitimately schizophrenic and them going after him just validated his gangstalkinh delusions. He's a fascinating villain and I wish we got more on his backstory. But I do sympathize with Trish, too and wish he didn't try to kill her, but recruit her and use her again Giorno and co. instead or something. Would've been interesting to see. Overall mid part. It sort of tries to be part 3 and 4 with the quest thing and the mystery around the villains, but it somehow failed miserably. Tangentially related, I was a sucker for KiraBoss back then kek.

Watching Stone Ocean, I feel like Araki wanted to create some shipping fuel and wars with Weather Report, Jolyne and Anasui. Though I ship Jolyne with Hermès, I also like the idea of Jolyne x Weather Report if we ignore he's as old as her dad. He was more genuine and normal towards her and she seemed a bit into him. Anasui is just annoying and creepy, and considering he killed his gf out of jealousy for cheating on him, I don't want him near Jolyne at all. But I don't mind Weather Report x Anasui, it has potential if we get to see more of their interactions prior to SO events.

I feel like an old fag because I remember how many people were shitting on part 5 on /a/ before it got an adaptation (and no, it wasn't just because of shitty scans, it was even after it got better translation) but soon after it got an anime, western fans started to praise it and it felt like they did 180 on it, and I was like???

No. 456198
>>456183>>456188This marks my birth as an ending defender, but I think it was cool and a bittersweet ending. It concluded the original universe and Dio's plans and existence. The universe wasn't just reset, Pucci failed to reset it to the specific timeline he wanted where people can see their fate and accept it or something like that, instead he ended up dying and the universe turned into a timeline where Dio never existed and never interfered with the Joestars. So parts 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 didn't happen the way they did. And the Joestars had normal lives relatively. It ties in to the themes of fate that where present in all parts, with the Joestars being soldiers of fate against those who reject or try to change it and bend it to their wills, that being the villains of the series. Part 7 and 8 also have these themes but in a different way. In part 6, fate is controlled by gravity for some reason, like actual gravitational G force stuff, and Dio wanted to gain power over that to be able to control fate to his will. He wanted to cope with and accept his mom's death and his unfortunate life because he'd know of his future as a powerful vampire with a strong stand and tons of followers, and maybe he'll try to somehow circumvent his fate now that he's aware of it so he can achieve his goals without being stopped. It was basically his plan B if he dies, and Pucci simply carried it. There's also the alternative take of the Eyes of Heaven game but I haven't watched it yet to know what happened, but afaik, Dio gains god like powers and it seems to miss up the timelines and universe somehow.

>>456232>The entire theme of JJBA is destiny and how one deals with it. Reseting the world just doesn't fit within the theme imo.The Joestars turned Dio's defying of fate against him, though. That fixes everything and gives all the Joestars a better life. As in they achieved the goal of defeating Dio for good to the point of their struggles caused by him being erased. It's a reward for their all hard work where they can experience life all over again without Dio ruining it for them, and just living a normal life, given to them by fate itself for fighting for it and to protect it from Dio. Fate works in mysterious ways in Jojo, where it's almost a divine entity of some sort. I find that nice. Think about it from the perspective of the characters, the way Araki probably did, they spent so much of their lives suffering because of Dio, if they could redo things without him interfering so they can have a nice life, they'd probably go for it.
And the clean slate thing gave Araki a chance to redo some things in parts 7 and 8 he thought weren't done right in parts 1-6. And he delivered tbh, parts 7 and 8 are among my top 3 after part 6. It's when he started getting serious and heavy with his storytelling and world building. Everything before that was a bit goofy mindless fun in comparison.
>>456256If there's no Dio, then there's no Pucci. At least, not the Dio follower one. So he'd probably continue being a priest in his town and try to find a way to move on from his trauma without Dio giving him a magical solution. I remember someone once pointed out that Pucci is actually very logical and scientific and may have his doubts when it comes to religion and the supernatural, but he still went down the priest route because of his culture or something, and if it weren't for stands and Dio, he'd probably renounce that and do something else. It's why his stand, white snake, has the DNA makeup written all over it, that's his true scientific spirit. I can't remember where I heard this though, could be from the only Jojo youtuber I actually watch, who also has a very good video on the ending of Stone Ocean.

>>456256>PucchiFor fuck's sake. It's Pucci
>>456232>But that kinda kills the entire character development and achievements and struggles of literally every JoJo character upon that moment… Feels cheap, one big cop out. It doesn't make sense to say it erases all the efforts to correct what Dio caused, because that ending was achieved by the culmination of all that effort. Like anon said, if the Joestars and everyone else could start over without Dio's influence in the world, they would.
I get how it can be jarring that up until that point JoJo seemed to be big on "dealing with destiny", and then all those "life lessons" learned are gone, but perhaps Araki never saw it that way. Maybe that wasn't the ultimate message he was trying to convey, and he was just trying to tell an exciting story, which in my opinion, would be very typical of him.

frankly i´d be more sold on araki trolling anyone than a "make right what once was wrong" type deal.
>Pucci failed to reset it to the specific timeline he wanted where people can see their fate and accept it or something like thatthat's because you can't fight fate, this is about the only thing i agree with you on.
>So parts 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 didn't happen the way they didthey didn´t happen period, which if that were case, just makes this even more bad and dumb.
"reset the universe and unmake the entire story so far" has been attempted in works of fiction numerous times and it's an incredibly hard sell because 9.5 times out of 10 it comes out wrong or bad or dumb or just makes everything that came before an even more forced "but you must" and you end up writing yourself into a corner that no amount of deus ex machina can get you out of.

>That fixes everything and gives all the Joestars a better life. As in they achieved the goal of defeating Dio for goodif dio and pucci are unmade by pucci's actions then the joestars accomplished nothing. doesn't pucci say something to the effect of each reset being a play by play of the original one until they land on "the good one"? was pucci expecting to roll a nat20 the first time around? again, dumb and bad.

>>456739He said some racist thing on Twitter and people couldn't let go of it, not because they actually care about racism, but because he dared to criticize the other Jojo youtubers and debunked all the misinformation on the series and ruiend their unfunny "Araki forgot HAHAHAH" meme for them. So they had to drag him somehow. He apologized then continued making his videos and doubled down on quality content, and ignored the whining in the comments. I think his channel is probably prospering better than the clown annoying Jojo youtubers, too, as things should be tbh. He's the only one who actually posts news on the series. The others just talk about their opinions on x and y as if we care.
>>456729Fair enough. But Dio and his followers were behind the events in parts 4 (with Kira and Okuyasu's dad) and 5 (Giorno), so you can't deny he still had an effect on the flow of things. It was only fair to make part 6 the one where his biggest, most dangerous follower gets defeated. I know it's frustrating because he wasn't foreshadowed before, but I still think it's plausible that Dio had some backup plan and someone to continue his work somehow. And it's nice to see some depth added to his plans and goals, so he isn't just some cartoonishly evil villain, but actually someone with an insane plan he researched and worked on for centuries. It's only fair that it almost succeeded, too.
>>456783Maybe what I said to the anon above would be relevant, but I'd also like to add it's down to personal preference at the end of the day. I don't have an issue with the idea of a universe reset, and some or all characters retaining some memories from the previous iteration. I think it's tragic and cool. It worked for me in part 6. I think it fits the themes and what happened so far. But I admit there are some plot holes and ambiguity when it comes to how Emporio still remembers and knows everything at the end, but he also sort of was paranoid and worried something bad will happen all along from the beginning. Feels like a loose thread about a possible time loop or something. You could be right about writing the manga for 30 years taking a toll on Araki, though. Hence wanting to end Jojo already and in the most depressing way possible. He even tried to make part 7 its own thing that has nothing to do with Jojo at all, and not even related to the universe reset or anything. Not an alternative universe either. Just a new separate story, and he only added the Jojo label way later down the line since he already referenced tons of things from Jojo and it's too late to try and save part 7 as a stand alone IP. And I'm kinda glad he did because I like the result and part 8 is one of my favorites, I think it executed everything part 4 was doing infinitely better. Now if only that could be said about part 9 and its parallels with part 5…

So fate retaliates by sending equally OP stand users who have the perfect counter power and who are willing to follow and enforce fate the way it is.

And people defend it with "muh symbolism because she's like virgin Mary and Mary got pregnant with jesus at 14". Bible doesn't fucking state her age, and even if it was normal back then, the bible states that Mary traveled to her cousin Elisabeth when they were both expecting a child, but it doesn't mention that she was accoaccompanied by anyone during that travel. She traveled to a town 80 miles away from hers. So do you think parents would allow a 14 year old to travel alone back then? I don't think so, so I assume she must've been older than that. People "assume" someone must have accompanied her, like Joseph, but the bible doesn't state it. That's why there's so much significance put onto Mary traveling to Elizabeth; not only because Elizabeth's pregnancy was also considered a miracle because of her old age, but because Mary had to travel for such a long distance, and the bible doesn't say anything about any person helping her. I wish people stopped making shit up. Sorry for the autism

Ngl I fucking HATE how popular Jojo has become among normies. Well, in general. It goes for both Berserk and Jojo; I remember when western anime fans barely talked about those shows/manga, fuck I remember a time when videos with Guts theme didn't even have 1 million views on youtube (now some have 30 million) and now the theme is inserted in every single fucking retarded zoomer meme about not getting laid and gorillas riding their wives. As for Jojo, sure after 2012 show it gained some traction, but it was still niche among anime fans, and the roundabout meme didn't appear until like 2015 or 2016 (and many people who knew that one meme didn't even know its origin anyway). Then after SDC it was steadily becoming more popular but I feel like it totally fucking BLEW up in 2018 with part 5 adaptation and brought so many newfags it's unreal (funnily enough I predicted it will happen before part 5 premiere). Now it's everywhere, literally everyone talks about it. It's not just that I'm autistic and I prefer when my special interests stay fairly niche. It's mostly because now I have to constantly see SO many shitty retarded opinions from retarded midwits. I hate this shit. I hate their retarded opinions I disagree with. Newfags opinions regarding certain parts are the worst and their taste is shit. It's also how they have to spam about Jojo everywhere and hate on other fans who have, god forbid, more nuanced and critical views on Araki's writing instead of mindlessly sucking his dick off and pretending like it's the best writing in the history of all fiction and if you dare to criticize it you're "ruining fun" and not allowing others to have fun and "telling the author you know better", like you actually have the power to fucking do that. It's a fucking hivemind. I want to go back to 2012 so bad. It was so comfy. I hate fans and big communities. They ruin everything. Fuck, I unironically wish that after adapting parts 1 and 2 DavidPro didn't have the money to adapt later parts. I wish nothing after part 2 was e v e r adapted kek

>>466672Nta, took me a while to realize what NuRaki meant kek. I think he can draw properly in this new style when he wants to. It's just that he half-asses or rushes some pieces for convenience. Although I'd say his art style peaked in part 7 mid and late chapters. The early ones were just part 5-6 art style though. GIFrel shows his consistency in character models, iirc he said he sculpts the faces and keeps the sculpture in front of him while drawing to check every single angle and what it would look like to get the character's face right every time. Impressive tbh. He doesn't get enough credit as an artist beyond being a mangaka, there's a reason his art is in museums and art galleries all the time.

>>466674Agree on part 7 overall, Jojolion is a downgrade though
>He doesn't get enough credit as an artist beyond being a mangaka, there's a reason his art is in museums and art galleries all the timeWell, you can see many things in museums and art galleries those days, not all of them are good. Just because you can find something at a museum, doesn't mean it's good per say. If he can only draw faces that don't look retarded when he tries, then he doesn't try often enough while drawing his own manga I guess. Honestly, I think the more he started focusing on high fashion and making his characters bodies look like sculptures, the more soul was lost in his work. But "soul" is subjective and that's just my opinion.

>>466930Nice argument
>>466937Except the way Shinji overcomes his fear at the end of EoE and chooses existing in the real world, even if it equals suffering, over unity, is inspiring. Eva is an anti-escapist show and that is inspiring.
No. 466940
>>466934Agreed. It's in my top 3 Jojo parts and it's the number 1 spot. 2nd goes to part 7, and 3rd goes to part 6. I like to call them the trilogy of fate even if they're not 100% connected.
>>466938Why do you need a cartoon to teach you that and make you reach that conclusion lol. And it certainly didn't work because all its fan are rancid weeb and otaku escapists who never leave their houses. So much so that Eva ended up selling out and pandering to them eventually because it succeeded with its target of critique. People who aren't into escapism won't be watching an anime to validate their position like little insecure faggots. Learn to see media as entertainment and quit being pretentious about it and feeling the need to appear smart via the media you consume. Prove yourself with actual important behaviors and achievements irl instead of pondering a fictional story. Have fun.

>>466940>Why do you need a cartoon to teach you that and make you reach that conclusion lol. And it certainly didn't work because all its fan are rancid weeb and otaku escapists who never leave their housesWhere did I say it "taught" me that? You're the one who said "maybe Araki prefers to write muh inspiring protagonists huuuh?" so I simply replied with saying that having a character who chooses to face reality and an anti-escapist theme is inspiring in a world where basically all fiction promotes escapism and where so many people fear to face reality. No movie/tv show ever changed my outlook on anything (maybe except for Lawrence of Arabia kek) so I'm not trying to defend Eva because it showed me the light or some other shit.
I don't judge a work of art based on its fanbase so idgaf what "the majority of Eva fans" do. If I wanted to judge Jojo based on its fanbase I would call it trash. Also many Eva fans still hate Rebuilds so it's not like all of them are glad that Anno sold out. I'm not going to retroactively judge a good anime based on what its author did X years later. It still is what it was. Also I hate you faggots who go "everything is just for teh lulz enternaitment, don't take anything seriously, never expect a fictional story to have deeper meaning lol, it's just cartoons lol!".

>>466958>Meh, wanting media to be deep and teaching life lessons or whatever means you don't have real life experienceProve to me how. I disagree, I think people that actually saw and experienced some real shit in their lives are not always satisfied with surface level storytelling, lack of symbolism etc. I never said all fiction needs to be like that, far from it. But it's good when it does it right, and from my personal experience it's the people who've been through a lot + have some sort of mental disorder (like autism kek) seek patterns and meaning everywhere. And it's nice when you can find something that answers the call. I know people with similar experiences to mine who ended up as junkies because they couldn't cope. My closest relatives are dead and I was abused in various ways since I was a kid, I never had outside support and I was also my only "inspiration", with a strong sense of self and justice (but tbh I think it's the autism that protected me because it made me unable to accept the "norm" around me so I never absorbed any pathological patterns of behaviour from my environment like substance or physical abuse or even the way of talking to people kek). I think I have a lot of life experience, mostly negative experience, but also lots of perseverance. Like "yeah my own father might have tried to strangle me when I was 13, buy I know my survival instinct is simply too strong to give up". To me you are the one who sound like someone who doesn't have any struggles, because from my experience those are the people who want to see ONLY light hearted shit. I meet that kind of normies all the time at work. Accusing me of "thinking I'm a genius" because I stated that something besides light-hearted protagonist might be (god forbid!) inspiring, sounds like projection. I don't like when it's JUST misery porn. I like it when it's hard but in the end, after struggling, the hero finds a way and meaning anyway, against all odds.
Btw this whole shit reminded me when I read parts of Araki's Manga in theory and practice. He talked about the audience disliking Phantom Blood and even Battle Tendenciy due to percieved "negativity" (that's how he called it). So he wrote SDC to be more positive, having at least one win for the protagonists so his chapters don't end on a sour note, to which audience responded well and gave him more praise. First of all, I don't understand how can someone view part 2 as "negative" and disregard Jonathan's death in part 1 (as if that shit wasn't inspiring as fuck and revolutionary for a main character in a shonen), second of all it's so funny how Araki literally bent the knee to fucking normies because LE COMIC BOOK wasn't light hearted enough! I'd much rather see his writing for SDC without bending the knee.

>>466977Should've mentioned you're autistic. That explains everything. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. I had the same mentality as you when I was an edgy teenager, once you grow up you start to see through it and stop being impressed by all these "deep philosophical" stories and realize they're actually surface level and shallow and don't say anything new or important. It just rehashes and reframes already existing ideas. I'm disillusioned with these things so I let loose and started enjoying retarded stuff shamelessly because it makes me happy and makes going through my life easier. Beisdes, none of these more complex stories actually have the specific experiences, thoughts and beliefs I have, so with time I started losing interest in watching them. Finally enough, retarded innocent fun shows sometimes have what I'm looking for, which is a pleasant surprise at times. I'd also argue that you're point of view is actually more popular, and the true unpopular opinion is just enjoying media the way it is and not trying to take it too seriously or look into it too deep, especially if it's silly kids shows or some really basic normal story. But when it's a show that claims to be deep and philosophical, it's fair to try and get something out of it and criticize it more harshly and seriously, which leads me back to my criticism of Eva attempting a message of some sort, failing at it, and giving it up. It's fair for me to look at it this way because it's the one that tried to be more than it could ever be. Another thing I'd like to add is by trying to seek specific experiences from media for some form of validation, you're sort of doing another kind of escapism anyways, by trying to make sense of your experiences/feelings through the framework of fictional depictions of it, but since you said you have autism, it's understandable why you do this because it's probably easier than relating to real people. My current escapism form is watching a reality show of some artists I like so I can see their real life experiences and what it's like to be an artist since I always wanted to be one. While the cartoons I watch are just background noise for when I'm eating, lol. I see experiences and feelings I actually never had before in media, including superpowers and adventures since these are impossible irl and fiction exists so we can experience anything and everything from a (safe) distance. So I'd rather watch something that has things new to me then my own personal experiences being replayed in front of me in a slight variation. I can watch a documentary about child labor for that instead, but I don't because that would make me feel awful. I'd rather move on and forget about it personally. But to each their own I guess. Glad I come off as a normie, mission accomplished successfully.

Original Eva didn't fail at what it tried to convey though.
Also, I've been an edgy teenager a long time ago, then I became like you, and then I matured and started to like all kinds of shows, not just "retarded" ones. You sound lowkey butthurt when trying to patronize others and assume their age and experiences.

>>467005You're the aggressive one here, calm down, it's just cartoons. I was making a more generalized statement and not specifically talking about Eva. Although all the praise Eva gets is for the slice of life parts and problems between the characters rather than the pioleting the creatures and fighting aliens. Because people want it to be deep so bad. The characters' problems seem so silly to me, except Asuka, she's the only one I felt sorry for. The others are so lame and such crybaby I can't take them seriously at all. You can enjoy your 3deep5u edgy slop all you want though, no one's is stopping you. Just stop being

You can point out that I said something personal about Araki first, but I'm not discussing with fucking Araki, I'm discussing with you, and I never made a personal assumption about you nor insulted your taste until you did it first towards me. I won't even mention how the content of Jojo is not always light hearted imo, so idk what's the point of saying you prefer "retarded innocent shows" in the context of discussion that started from Jojo's author and his opinion; if you enjoy Jojo then you enjoy some things that aren't always "retarded and innocent".

>>467722They're right about JoJo though. It does have some cool subtext, themes and symbolism. And characters' personalities, storylines, and designs can sometimes be based on the songs/artists they're based on which is kind of a fun easter egg thing, you don't 100% need to know it to enjoy or understand the story, but it does enhance it. JoJo doesn't claim to be some genius masterpiece that's there to change society or something, because it doesn't need to, and it still achieves it better than Eva ever did. You can still enjoy JoJo without reading too deep into it, but I don't think the same can be said about Eva since it's whole thing is attempting to be deep, and if the depth doesn't appeal to you, you can't really enjoy it for the mecha stuff for example or the characters (because they're are trash and insufferable), and you'll be told you just don't get it and are watching it wrong or something. It did this to itself though by trying to be on the nose with its philosophy shit. JoJo just exists and doesn't try to appeal to everyone and knows its niche. It's basically pretentious Eva vs. down to earth JoJo. I'd take the latter any time. The characters' struggles and development was also more enjoyable and relatable and better in JoJo parts 6-part 8. They put into words certain feelings and experiences and it feels very cathartic to see it finally said/done, and kinda unexpected when you don't take JoJo seriously. Can't say I felt the same about Eva when I watched it.
No. 467978
>>467795In my opinion evangelion didn't claim that either, it was made by some depressed guy who just thought christian symbolism looked cool. Someone can just as well say you need to read Jung's philosophy and study kabbalah in order to understand characters and symbolism in evangelion and it would be just as silly. Many people claim they found the ending of the end of evangelion cathartic too. I don't see any difference between evangelion fans telling you you don't get it and jojo fans telling someone they don't get it, it's both dumb. I believe that works of art speak to people unconsciously, and it either speaks to you or it doesn't. You can't change that. If someone has an opinion that diavolo is a shit villain it's dumb to say that they only dislike him because they didn't understand the symbolism and didn't listen the playlist required to understand a fictional character, because the work should speak for itself
On a personal note I found part 6 to be lacking and I didn't find anything in it relatable, and also I don't need the characters and their action to be relatable in order for me to appreciate them. Relatability is like one of the least important factors on my list. Shit part.

I hate when new stories try to retrospectively add something more to already dead characters. "Hurr Diavolo is important because without him Dio wouldn't get arrows durr". Yeah we only find out about it in part 5, not 3, therefore I don't care. "DURRR actually before part 3 happened Dio met this one priest and they had this big plan about heaven and all so the story is not over yet and Pucci is important durr!" I literally don't care.

>>473978Sure. Parts 4 and 5 were a bit of unnecessary filler. But I don't mind the addition lore and details they along with part 6 provide. Araki isn't the type to plan ahead and he just improvises on the go, and after all, it's titled Jojo's
Bizarre Adventures for a reason, ofcourse it has tons of asspulls. And some of them are references to topis that were popular at the time of writing the manga, like the mysterious rods the cow pattern wearing Dio son controls, they were a real mystery spoted in some cave or something and later on revealed to be bugs flattering their wings in a rate that matches or contradicts the camera or something and it confuses it, hence the cylinder appearance. I think it's fun and creative when he incorporates such bullshit into the stories and finds a way to use it, it's unique, entertaining and in the rare occasion educational in a way because it leads me to deep dive into the referenced topics.

>>474001My heart skips a beat every time someone posts them. Those two (and that ship) had me in the chokehold since 2012. Every time I think I start to get away, they always pull me back

>>473995You’re telling others they’re moralfagging while literally saying Anasui was justified in killing his GF and also he grows as a person. You’re doing the same thing you’re accusing others of doing. Stop shitting up the thread with your retardation and ugly husbando.

>>474003My favorite JoJo artists
Rei17 and Kuren were obsessed with this ship when the anime's popularity peaked, so it's a bit nostalgic to me.

>>474028Me too, anon. I'm also in love with the idea of Kars interacting with DIO like this.
Spoiler for gore, hope this doesn't get me banned.

>>473956He should have hooked up with Weather Report - he had great chemistry with him.
>>473961Please. We're talking about a franchise of 100000s who made Dio their husbando.
>>473975>Wrong opinion. It's one of the more serious parts that ties everything together. Hahaha. It's no more serious than part 5 and definitely silly when compared with part 1.

Steel ball run anime will be an inconsistent ugly mess and they will butcher all my favorite scenes. DavidPro's attempts at imitating the manga art style are horrendous.
>>474449No, leddit isn't a good place either. Jojo fanbase is dead.

including Dio.
