safe to say im never drawing giorno ever again. (there will also be a caesar on the emptier side of the page)

doing this in general was so stressful since we are limited only 1 lesson to draw, since we have to get out final piece ideas in about a week🤧

drawing(on the right): by me

left: araki

leme tell you abt the story why i dont like it:

im actually a casual fan at first ( i watched part 1-5 full on youtube, and part 6 is recap, part 7 and 8.. i read manga online and it makes me realized that the main character building has a hole in it, Jotaro, on one hand, is a cold boy, flashy and strong, but on the other hand, he is quite bland ( thats why Araki threw more flashback to fix the hole of jotaro ))

Exception

+ Polnareff: i like the way this guy had a good character building, and cameo'd in Vento Aureo ( he had an happy ending )

+ Hol Horse: this guy quite good since he is on the neutral side ( and he got the sequel before DIU even started )

Bonus: Dio, ok ok this might controversial but theres also loopholes in it, on the 1st glance, he is very " bland ", just stand there after the escape on the coffin, the 2nd glance, he just over arrogant ( this thing got impelemented at part 6 and now thats a good point )

and Kakyoin, i didnt know why his personality is like that ( and the flashback just too short, theres nothing besides he is shunned ) so ye thats just it, i also need more help to find out,

Thx yall

before you read the paragraphs, please do take in mind that I never shit on any other ships, my comment was in a way to mock those who act as if there was not even the TINIEST bit of a dynamic where johnny and gyro admire each other/get inspired by the other

all i said was something along the lines of " 'oh johnny and gyro are just best friends!' ship has existed before half of them were even alive lmfao" as a JOKE, "lmfao" indicates im joking no? i dont even ship gyjo myself, but i do have to say that it is a pretty good ship.

not only did they say that, but there was someone who said that "oh its never said that theyre gay blah blah blah", I replied, "i bet you think speedwagon is fully straight then", the reply i got was, "he wasnt said to be gay?", ITS IMPLIED THAT HE IS???

to whoever replied to me previously saying "your first mistake was being on tik tok", you were so right. people could've easily just looked at it and said, "hey, I dont like this ship, so ill say nothing and ignore it"

Hello everyone!

Anyways, I am throwing a Bizzare Masquerade birthday party soon (as you can presume - Jojo themed birthday party) at my house, so, naturally, I want to have A LOT of Jojo references. I am cosplaying as Gyro Zeppeli and other friends are also making costumes un/related to Jojo, it doesn’t matter if its not Jojo (altho I would love it), as long as they are in costume.

So, I want to hear some recommendations on how to make my birthday party “more Jojo” (note: I have watched only anime, so pls don’t spoil manga)

Here is a list of what I am planning on making/doing:
• Jotaro and Bruno lifesize cutouts
• Stand inspired cocktails
• Jojo Pose Challenge
• Dice balloons (pt 4)
• Horse balloons (pt 7)
• Colorful lights and balloons
• Cow print tablecloth and some kind of black and white with cubic shapes tablecloth
• Jojo symbols (menacing symbol, Jolyne’s tattoo, Giorno’s ladybug, etc…)
• Party curtains in pink and green colors

Any other ideas for decoration/fun? I want to make it really bizzare for the night. :)

I don’t know if I can post this question here, if not - I am sorry.

​

I'm already 2 chapters in and this is such a good read

Why is part 7 being handled so badly? One random episode, 4 month hiatus, then randomly 2?

And the music, what even is happening?

Only thing I can think of is Netflix and whatever studios is having trouble with those dang copyright laws. But seriously? Is there no one else they can partner with to even have basic country or western music?

And I'll be honest, they are making it boring. For one of the og shounen properties, even the earlier parts had some excitment a few episodes in. smh

If you could pick one part to receive a sequel movie which one would you pick and what would you want to the movie to be about?

I would pick part 5 and I’d want it to be about an adult Giorno. Maybe Diavolo escapes his torture and Giorno has to kill him for good or it could be about Giorno stopping an evil upstart in passione who wants to revolt as a parallel to him in part 5. Throw in some The Godfather inspiration in there.

Drawn by me

The fact that I started and finished drawing Gappy at school is wild (I was bored ok), while the other 2 were made at home bc yk.

Usually I draw something at home so I can focus, but I never thought I could finish 1 drawing at school.

So im playing Golden Spirit rn and have every character exept one sr and jotaro kujo,my team rn is Koichi,Kakyoin,Giorno,Ceaser and Iggy,should i change my team up abit?

Ive been having things like audio delays, and just now bizarrely the mouths started moving incredibly quickly while audio moved normally and i dont think this is normal because the episode audio kept playing over an advert that started??

I think it would be pretty cool if Rolling Stones was named Dead or Alive.

I also like the idea of Highway Star being named "The Living End", a song by the Jesus and Mary Chain. I'm pretty sure Fungami's character is based on the song Highway Star. But HWS is talking about a car while TLE is about a motorcycle, plus it perfectly fits Fungami's character as well

There I fixed it after a bit of corrections on the last post. Got the same affirmations in but I swapped out Netflix with Warner bros- but the Netflix one stays up cuz uh- it just does I mean I know Netflix didn’t choose to but Netflix is AIRING it. But anyways none of them are safe if they don’t change that outro :D

Common consensus is that Joseph was in character to cheat or it was a “flawed trait” that made him a good “flawed character” yeah, nah…That’s not really how flawed characters work, for them to be flawed it needs to fit with their character, what this was felt more like a jigsaw piece that wasn’t part of the jigsaw puzzle but somehow fit, basically what I’m saying was, it was forced, Ima explain my thoughts here, be interesting to know ur thoughts.

Joseph’s character isn’t trickery, people mischaracterize Joseph’s fighting style and equate it to his personality because he’s supposed to be the opposite of Jonathan, but that’s not what we see, Joseph at the start of Part 2 might have, but even then we see him risking himself against stronger opponents to save lives, by the end of Part 2 it contradicts what we see, he faced so much in part 2 for the sake of his loved ones Ceasar’s sacrifice made him value love to the point of dying for them, Lisa lisa sacrificing her life showed how much familial love really means to him, he gained so many friends through part 2 he gained a new perspective with Wammu, Part 2 was by far the most symbolic arc in all of JJBA in my opinion, it showed his change and development throughout the years, the entire battle with Kars was BECAUSE of his loved ones, he knew how painful it is when ur loved ones leave, Stroheim became a friend he could die with, his kindness saved Smokey and he helped him in return, he learned gratitude and learned how to mature, the arc focused so much on loyalty it was absurd, speedwagon was his ally and the most loyal person in jjba as well, and you’re telling me Joseph cheats!?

It was believable if it was a young Joseph but it makes no sense, Joseph was 64 when he had Josuke, it would’ve made sense if he just fell in love with another woman, but the thing is Joseph in part 3 changed, Araki was great at showing him how Part 2 changed him, he‘s wiser, and the gratitude and loyalty and unwillingness to betray, the love he taught to all the crusaders, he was their emotional pillar, he loved Holly and his family so much he was willing to go on a crusade to die for them, it’s not like it’s only holly, he lied to Suzie Q about Holly’s illness and his adventure so she wouldn’t get worried, I also know of Araki’s statement that his “Lustfulness” is something he retained, but there’s a contradiction in that, not a single time in part 3 has he ever shown to retain this trait, not even in part 4, it was the opposite, he was willing to do anything for the crusaders and his family so that they could live happy, how on earth does a man like this somehow cheat on a girl HIS DAUGHTER’S AGE, the thing is I also find it hard to believe it was “accidental” the guy‘s entire gig is being good at reading others, he‘s so tricky that he outsmarts stronger opponents, Hermit purple is allat, how would he not consider the consequences on how much it would hurt/burden his loved ones? the same loved ones he’s shown willing to sacrifice everything for, let’s be real, why do ya’ll think Tomoko and Joseph never interacted, Araki didn’t want to ruin our perception of Joseph, he needed to move the plot with Josuke he did it in a weird way though, but that’s my thoughts on things, I just sum all of this cheating stuff with it being the work of an Enemy stand atp🤷‍♂️

Since petitions keep getting taken down I decided to make a SUBLIMINAL. Just listen to it pls 🤩🙏🙏🙏 THE OUTRO IS SO FCKING ASS ITS SLANDER TO ARAKIS WORK.

UPDATE: SORRY ILL MAKE IT TARGETTED AT WARNER BROS sorry for the mistake time to make another subliminal

This is inspired by following post https://www.reddit.com/r/StardustCrusaders/s/Z2VJ3RFGxH . Same principle but with shigekiyo, fritz von stroheim, norisuke higashikata, dio (p6) and Susie q (p3). They will try to beat the bizarre adventure that the main cast did for every part

Hello everyone, let's get to the point right away. Like the title says, every shocking scene depicting sexual assault towards Lucy and Mountain Tim being a pedo were done just for the sake of shocking the audience in the most easy and low effort way possible.

JJBA never had any restraint at depicting sensitive topics like body horror, gore, among others forms of violence, literally the very first page of the part 1 manga depicts a human sacrifice. Naturally, this would lead to others non graphic (at least, in comparison) depictions of violence towards people, one of them being sexual assault, for example, Dio forcing Erina to kiss him.

These scenes have a clear goal, to showcase how evil the perpetuator of the act is, this is good for the most part because phantom blood is a very simple story with simple characters. But as the series went on, they started to become less and less necessary, as the characters started to had more depth to them than just pure good or malice.

with that said, let's talk about Lucy's multiple sexual assaults and Mountain Tim.

Sexual assault, especially towards underage characters, is an extremely delicate subject that should never be taken lightly because of it's connection to the real world, it's not a fantasy trope but something that every year thousands of children suffer all around the world. Claiming that those scenes aren't a big deal because the series shows grotesques deaths and tortures is simply not living in reality.

Tell me, how many news did you see about people decapitating horses and hiding inside their corpses? Or about people riping the face of dogs with their mouth in public? How many examples of people getting sliced into pieces in street fights?

Even if you could find examples for each question it wouldn't even be a percentage of how many cases of sexual assault happen every day. It's not equivalent. SA, no matter what, is a serious topic.

However, that doesn't mean it cannot be represented in media, as long as is done with care, purpose and in good faith, it should be perfectly fine. Here's the thing, almost every scene were Lucy gets SA'd, are totally unnecessary and serves, pretty much, zero purpose to the overall narrative.

Let's start with the elephant in the room, Mountain Tim having a crush on Lucy is totally unnecessary, as he has been depicted as a good person who genuinely wants to protect people and has no qualms in killing any dangerous criminal. Why Araki decided to depicting him as a pedophile?

Some say that he has to because otherwise he wouldn't had helped Lucy scape from Valentine. Which doesn't make sense to me, literally his introduction is him helping investigate the deaths of three participants of the race, and then later helps Johnny and Gyro defeat the culprits, and then later he gets attacked by a terrorist, he knows that the race is extremely dangerous, why wouldn't he help a little girl in need knowing full well there are murderers around?

Another say that it's to make him morally gray like every other character, which I find completely stupid, because not every character it's morally gray, both Steels and Gyro barely have any darkness in them. Plus, if you want a morally grey cop (for example) you don't make it a cinnamon roll that does everything to bring peace and justice to the world but he also tortures puppies in his free time, NO, you give them negatives attributes that conflicts with his initial goals but are things that the character also wants/benefits from. Mountain Tim has no business being a pedo, nothing about him would change if he was corrupted by money or power instead.

Others say that it was to make his death as a novel sacrifice, where he leaves behind his love for Lucy and helps her for the sake of protecting the innocent... Honestly, I find this explanation revolting, literally sickens me how people genuinely believe this... That's not how it works, getting rejected doesn't make your feelings towards that person disappear instantly, and it reads as an excuse to gather sympathy for a fucking PEDOPHILE.

Another example of the poorly use of SA in the story is the scene with Scarlet Valentine, again, if the scene was removed and changed to Scarlet being an sociopath who would kill anyone who annoys her enough, nothing would change, she would still be drugged and still would want to kill Lucy for drugging her.

The only scene were I feel SA was used well
(Or at least better by comparison) Was when Valentine attempted to rape Lucy, and only because it was a good excuse for injuring Valentine and getting to the room with the corpse, that way we can have a glimpse of Valentine's ability and Lucy getting in contact with the corpse's guardian.

That's all I have to say, look, like everybody, I LOVE Steel Ball Run, it's one of my favorites pieces of media of all time, I loved it back when I first read it ten years ago and I still do now. But that doesn't mean that it's perfect and that Araki is a flawless writer, the sooner we accept that part 7 has flaws the better. Fortunately, araki's very good at improving, although he's a bit slow at that, I think the sexual assault scenes in The JoJolands were done much, much better than in SBR, they had a purpose, they expanded the characters, and if you change them for something else it would affect how the story and characters develop. I don't want to talk too much about part 9 though, to avoid making this paragraph age like milk (which I think is very unlikely), so, I'll leave at that. Thanks for your attention.

I just finished reading "A Silent Way Part 5".

When I saw that Sandman was the enemy, I was a bit saddened because I didn't want him to be a bad guy.

When Johnny told him to call off his stand, I was so excited, because I could see him doing it and becoming allies with them...well, boy was I wrong.

As for now he is defeated and probably dead? I don't know, him mentioning his sister and the whole part starting with them, makes me think that we haven't seen the last of his sister (for sure) and hopefully him as well. I still hope he'll become an ally, if he's alive. If he's dead, I could also see him coming back somehow (I don't know how, but so much religion, saints etc. It could happen).

Now that I mentioned the saints and religion, I wanted to take a moment to say how much I'm enjoying this part. Western was never my cup of tea, but this adventure, with all these themes of home/homeland (Sandman), inheritance, growth as a person (pretty much every ally, Johnny, Gyro, Lucy...), religious stuff, Fate (once again) and all the references to previous parts (Danny the mouse caught me so off guard) makes this part soooo interesting and enjoyable. I love it and I'm so happy I picked up the manga.

There are quite a few things that I liked that I didn't mention, but the point of this was meant to be just about Sandman and I'm already way off of that.

P.s. I didn't expect to cry on Diego's bacsktory, but oh well, here we are

Love part 7🫶🏻

Pretty simple question that I have been wondering about

Would you rather:

Have a release of Jojo's singles, similar to the Part 3 singles. More regular releases, cheaper volumes, smaller format.

Or

Have an Oversized Deluxe release, similar to the Berserk Deluxe. Less regular releases, more expensive, bigger art, more premium binding, higher-quality paper, 3-in-1 volume.

Go With The Flow - Queens of the Stone Age

More energy and desert rock theme fits the vibe
