why they decided to call her Enyaba when they called her Enya before bothers me, and isn't Enyaba literally "Old Woman Enya"?

Why do people keep calling Shining Diamond "Crazy Diamond."
Can't you people read the subtitles?

this is the best thing about being new to Jojo, the name changes to avoid copyright don't bother me
It can also be translated as "Don't Sue Us Enya".

Yeah, they just took the -ba and made it part of her name instead of a suffix. Skirts copyright, keeps the reference, and matches what most people call her.
It's just necessary to release it in the west, we're not really bothered by it. The funny thing is the change doesn't really matter. You can still tell it's from SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND.

Oh we've definitely had some people really fucking bothered by it. lol
Not anyone on the last few pages mind you. But some dude took huge issue with it during Stardust Crusaders. Especially J.Giel's name.

Actually, why has Joseph aged so much when Lisa Lisa didn't?

Lisa Lisa consistently trained with hamon, while Joseph was lazy and didn't. Which is why Jotaro mentions that Joseph is too old to come to Morioh.
Joseph probably never needed to use hamon, just like Jotaro didn't need to abuse his time-stop powers before he visited Morioh and encountered Josuke.

Joseph was too busy chasing skirts and counting his money to maintain a training regimen.
Joseph stopped practicing Ripple IIRC.

There's also that Joseph in Part 3 is 20 years older than Lisa Lisa was in Part 2. And we saw Straizo, who was probably 70 and still using Ripple, was clearly having his age start to catch up with him.
By Part 4 Joseph has had 60 years of minimal Ripple usage.

Lisa Lisa was a ripple master, Joseph just dabbled in it enough to beat Wham.

Shit, I mean if I had fountain of youth powers I'd be training them even if I didn't need to use it to fight evil.
Time stop too.

But it's quite obvious Joseph didn't need fountain of youth powers to get pussy. So what would've been his motivation? Jotaro don't need pussy, just dolphins.
It's a bummer they left that bit of information out. It's a nice touch because we get to see what Jotaro thinks of Josuke (they also left out the line where he calls Josuke crazy after he transforms Angelo).

Oh, is that what it is? Huh; I totally thought it was the animation slip-ups.
I believe the bottom left panel was flipped after the fact, because EVERYTHING is backwards on it.

Is it wrong for me to like the design for Part 4 Jotaro over Part 3 Jotaro?
Dunno if I'm legit shocked that more than one person didn't recognize what that comic was, or slightly disturbed that I can see that comic in just about anything now
Yeah, that conversation has gone on long enough that someone not in the know is gonna look it up and have a terrible realization, lol...

Thank god. In the Part 3 anime he just seemed like Stallone with bad 80's hair. I like this current one though.
The first unofficial translation for the part 4 manga translated Morioh as Duwang.
Ah okay that make sense now.
Part 4 originally had an unbelievably bad English translation. We're talking a bewilderingly awful lack of quality (yet it eventually gained this odd charm to it). The translator did such a crappy job that he even translated the name Morioh as Duwang, which then became the general name for those translations. It also produced such gems as "get a feeling so complicated" and "your feeling I can feel deeply".
EDIT: Beaten like my last name's Zeppeli

To get a better idea of how fucked that translation was going to be, it was by a Chinese student, translating Japanese to English in just a month for a class project.
"Duwang" is Morioh in Chinese apparently.

Not as deep as he thinks
For real. Hope it stops soon.

wasn't it from Japanese to Chinese to English?
thats usually when translations get fucked up the most when they aren't using the original text as the base
no they used Enyaba

I don't know where CHEW came from tho
Huh, I guess my memory was just trying to make sure I remember the actual names lol

The character appears to be chewing something in the original Duwang translation. Most likely the Japanese version had an onomatopeia there - those are very common in Japanese, you could say they're an integral part of the language -, so I assume the guy just translated that to "chew" without realizing Western languages like English have a completely different approach to onomatopeias than Asian languages like Japanese and Korean (and Mandarin Chinese too, I assume?).
Regarding SC battles, my favorite is N'Doul's Geb
, probably followed by D'arby's Osiris
and Petshop's Horus
.
The most disappointing for me was Devo's Ebony Devil
. He was my favorite character in the Capcom game so I didn't expect him to only appear in one quick episode

(the gambler)
(the bird)

Not sure if it appeared elsewhere already, but Warner posted the brief preview for episode 4: https://youtu.be/OECU_ajVuUc
Are you sure it was Japanese? The 阿 that appears throughout the scanlations makes me think it was from the Chinese translation.

Essentially Duwang is like running through google translate twice I think?
yeah but even in Japanese the onomatopoeia is usually either an effect text (like MENACING!) or usually, while in balloon, have a distinct effect to make it look different from spoken dialog
Though I guess it was conveying something different but have a chewing sfx interloped in the dialog, and the rushed translation missed it?
