What about the Darbys' soul collecting stands? Sure it would be stupid if Kars actually had a reason to play them, but if his soul gets sucked out... isn't that it?

Interesting question, but the problem is a victim of D'arby must admit true defeat within their own mind. I bet Kars could never see himself as being defeated, therefore would be totally immune to either D'arby's Stand.

I don't see this being true, but the problem here is getting Kars to play the game and not kill one of the D'Arby bros when he's about to lose.

 

[Boss Doggie]

The question is - does Kars have a soul?

Also there's a matter of perception. Kars could kill D'Arby as long as he doesn't notice it.

Dub to premiere at this year's Anime Expo. Ben Diskin cast as Joseph Joestar.

Interesting choice for Joseph. I guess we'll know in less than a month how this dub will pan out.

Yeah, mentioned this on the previous page, but everyone continued their talk about Kars.

At the very least, Ben Diskin has a decent range. He was Numbah One & Two in Kids Next Door, Takarada in Kill la Kill, Death Gun in SAO2, and Sai in Naruto Shippuden.

Plus he's been joking around on Twitter with Joseph's catchphrase with an account based on another character he's done.

If Kars would be capable of feeling defeated, the act of attacking the D'Arbys might be an admission of defeat in and of itself. Then yes, their Stands might be able to grab him.

Come to think of it, IIRC the D'Arby brothers warned the companions of their opponent not to kill the brother, but didn't bother warning the opponent themselves. That might suggest that once you're engaged in a game, trying to get out of it in any way without winning is an admission of defeat. Also, the first D'Arby casually mentioned to Polnareff the stakes were a human soul. But I don't know if there's any requirement for them to declare the stakes or if they can trick someone into playing a game without knowing there are consequences for losing.

So if the jojo dub was put on toonami it would be the uncensored one right?

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

Kars is probably the strongest Jojo villain, the best any other villain can do against him is to lock him into a never ending tie but never win.

 

[Zonic]

So if the jojo dub was put on toonami it would be the uncensored one right?

Most likely. Toonami has gotten away with showing Black Lagoon & Hellsing Ultimate with its violence uncensored.

 

[Squishy3]

So if the jojo dub was put on toonami it would be the uncensored one right?

Yeah, it'd be uncensored. American TV doesn't give a shit about violence, just can't show any nipples.

Just look at Hannibal as an example. The violence in that show is way more grotesque than anything ever depicted in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I alluded to this in the anime thread (didn't mention the name due to spoilers), but Hol Horse's Jojonium cover reminds me of a palette swap for Gyro without his beard patches.

 

[Sequence Six]

Still makin' my way through part 7

Dio just turned into a dinosaur

Steel Ball Run is amazing

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

Kars is probably the strongest Jojo villain, the best any other villain can do against him is to lock him into a never ending tie but never win.

Valentine could kill him (and with Love Train he'd be completely invincible, too). Kira might have a shot as well.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I love part 7 can't wait for it to be animated.

Not looking forward to the inevitable Lucy Steel debates though. Stephen is redeemed eventually but I'm afraid poor old Mountain Tim might not gain most people's sympathies.

 

[Ezalc]

Valentine could kill him (and with Love Train he'd be completely invincible, too). Kira might have a shot as well.

How does Kira do anything? Kars survived a volcano, he can survive Kira's bombs.

 

[Siegcram]

It's not really clear how powerful Kira's bombs are, since they're not traditional explosives, but disintegrate someone completely. So it might work, especially with Another one bites the dust.

This is also where we kind of enter really dumb theoryfighting stuff sorta.

Since obviously it's never explained how Kira's bombs work, Killer Queen might determine the bomb's explosion strength depending on how powerful the person is. Obviously doesn't take much to blow a human to bits. Killer Queen could probably blow Cars to bits (Think what Joseph did to Straits with the grenades) but they also have the ability to pull themselves back together.

 

[SolarKnight]

Sure Kars could regenerate from being blown to bits, but Killer Queen seems to disintegrate completely not just blow them apart. I kinda doubt even he can come back from that. The only issue is not knowing if Killer Queen's explosions would do that to Kars or if lol pillar men/ultimate life form biology saves him somehow.

 

[Siegcram]

I mean, of course that's all theoretical.

For all we know Killer Queen kicks Kira's ass to the curb like in Jorge.

But there seems to be a difference between KQ's bombs and something like Cheap Trick damage-wise. It is a step below total dimensional removal through Cream and Hand though.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I hope David Pro continues to effectively use their resources. The future parts are going to require some upper tier directing and animation

 

[Kai Dracon]

Killer Queen's bombs don't cause instant eradication like the dimensional cutting powers. I wouldn't want to go up against Kars unless I had a power that could instantly remove him from the universe before he had more than a quarter of a second to see it coming.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Tim might not gain most people's sympathies.

At least he won't become a really awful meme character like Speedwagon. Ugh.

 

[Hatty]

Seeing as Tim could be seen as alternate Speedwagon
We'll have to see

 

[Riposte]

KQ seems to turn you into an explosion rather than make you explode. The former seems way more permanent for anyone who has some absurd healing factor.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

If Crazy Diamond was able to heal Hayato back to perfect health before he was completely disintegrated by Killer Queen's contact bomb, I'm fairly certain that Kars' regeneration would let him survive it too. Them again, CD used time-reversing shenanigans rather than actual healing so who knows.

 

[Sir Ilpalazzo]

How does Kira do anything? Kars survived a volcano, he can survive Kira's bombs.

Kars' lines in that scene make it seem like it's not a given he would survive the volcano indefinitely. I get the impression there is some kind of upper limit to his regeneration.

 

[CrazyDiamond]

Man, I can't wait for all the non manga readers' reactions to tomorrow's episodes. Especially the Joseph fans.

 

[Ezalc]

Don't know if this was posted, but I agree with it.

 

[SolarKnight]

So where do we expect tomorrow episode's to end? Dio sucking Joseph dry?

 

[CrazyDiamond]

Probably as Super DIO and Jotaro are about to face off.

 

[SolarKnight]

Sounds about right.

Anyways, I know that lol anime time but still, even with time stops it feels like so much bullshit that the entire DIO battle took less than 10 minutes

 

[Sibersk Esto]

DIO powering up and Joseph's spirit telling Jotaro to calm down seems like a safe bet to end next episode. There are only two left and after Super DIO the fight doesn't last much longer.

 

[Monochromaticx]

Gold Experience Requiem could rek Kars with his "turn everything to zero" whatever

 

[Crocodile]

I stumbled upon this. Some art/design document for the Capcom Jojo fighter. Seems there were plans to include the Pillar Men at some point?

[SolarKnight]

Omg I absolutely lost my shit with what they did at the beginning

David Pro you glorious bastards

Weird, I guess they wanted to make it similar to All-Star Battle & include characters from all the parts at the time or something (I also see Stroheim which would've been great)? That would explain why Young Joseph from Part 2 was a secret character & the only character from said part.

Also what's that Kakyoin between Whamu & Stroheim?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Fantastic episode today. Can't wait for part 4 so the OVA comparisons can stop.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Those are Capcom Secret Files, they usually have them for arcade release and contain stuff like development shenanigans, stuff they planned to add before getting cut, etc., with their last being Tatsunoko vs Capcom

why is there many splatoon jojo stuff

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Jojo, much like the space jam theme, meshes well with pretty much everything

 

[Hatty]

I want part 4 animated more than ever after seeing everyone's reaction to Jotato inexplicably flying

 

[Squishy3]

I hope we just get a quick shot of Josuke turning to the camera and saying "What the fuck did you say about my hair?"

Literally all that we need. Maybe have an image of Jotaro in the reflection of his eyes.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

People are overall going to like the OVA fight better, probably because of the added scenes like the transit car, the building throw, and the boat

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Can't watch the episode again right now, but there was a Part IV easter egg today? I missed it.

It's another shot of the bow and arrow.

Neat.

The building throw is ridiculous, all superhuman feats should be exclusive to Dio. I like that the only ludicrous thing else-wise in the fight is Dio and Jotaro's inexplicable ability to fly. Everything else Dio does (like the road roller, gas tanker in the OVA, and the boat in the OVA) are all things Dio would be able to do normally anyway.

[EmCeeGramr]

So what would the best post-credits teaser for Part 4 be.

-Josuke walking in Morioh (you don't see his face), someone makes a hair comment and cut to black as we hear WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY ABOUT HAIR~ and a healthy DORARARARARARA

-Dolphin Jotaro arriving in Morioh

-Little Josuke recovering in the hospital as a doctor says that he's never seen an illness like this before, we see the Joestar birthmark and cut to black

-Joseph and family organizing his inheritance, they get to "Josuke Higashikata

1 would be the best, minus the DORARARARARA because that's a bit too much. 2 is the most likely.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Speaking of the last one, I've never quite understood how Josuke's name even ended up with Joseph's will and the like, because all of the translations say that he didn't recognize it or didn't know Josuke existed for years. Hopefully David will add something explaining that.

 

[Squishy3]

I'm also hoping we get a shot of Jotaro or SPW folks finding Dio's journal.

I think the last one is going to happen. It reminds me of the ending of Part 2, where they added that extra scenes about the future of the characters that weren't shown in the manga.

I'm also hoping we get a shot of Jotaro or SPW folks finding Dio's journal.

Ooooh, that would be amazing.

Wasn't it because of Hermit Purple?
