Chiming in, great chapter. That bathroom scene was hilarious.
So we have a name, Josefumi Kujo. Interested to see the abilities of the two twins at the end there.
I swear they better be called the Ying Yang Twins

His master plan better involve a volcano or blowing the whole city/town into outer space.

Why would it be? Was Armstron-- Valentine based off of an old character? Not really so it should also be a new antagonist here.

Oh wow this chapter. The bathroom scene caught me off guard lol
So, given the photo and that Josuke's real name uses the same kanji for Jo as part 4 Josuke is it safe to assume that Jojolion Josuke is the mix of Yoshikage Kira and the SBR universe's equivalent of Josuke?
...I wonder if that were the case if Josefumi is then also an illegitimate child of SBR universe Joseph given that he seems to be a legit Joestar.

Remember that Jojolion Kira is also kinda the Jotaro of this universe.

Araki replacing Jotaro with Kira is p much the best thing anyone could hope for.
Remember that each part's name has some connection to the content of the part, excepting possibly Part 2. Phantom Blood is about, well, undead vampires, Stardust Crusaders to Stone Ocean each refer to the Jojo's Stand and some feature of the story, Steel Ball Run refers to a movie called Cannonball Run with a similar basic premise, plus the Steel Balls used by Gyro.
Part 8 is the first to have the name "Jojo" directly in it, combined with "evangelion". If taken literally, you can interpret it as "The Gospels of Jojo". So it makes sense that Part 8 combines so many things from the previous Jojo parts -- it's about the idea of being a "Jojo" itself.

Given the theme of animated Stone Men, my mind went to the myth of Pygmalion when reading the name. That seems to be a popular theory online as well.
Yeah, but it turns out to be "evangelion" -- Araki said so himself.
In the Author's notes? I haven't read those for part 8.
Yup. It's in the second Jojolion volume.

Man this is the slowest burn I've ever seen in a jojo
Not that I don't like it, but it's so jarring comparing it to the past.

No, I believe it's Araki who's mistaken, and you're correct (or as correct as you can be in this case, anyway).
Based on what Araki is saying, he was really basing that on the word "evangelion" ("gospel", "good news"), but considering the etymology of that word, he's completely wrong about the "lion" part meaning that (or anything, really) on its own.

Semi-Jojo related-- Chris Squire, the bassist for Yes died yesterday. I think it was Ken Jennings who said that every election he casts a write-in vote for "the bass line from Roundabout".
Wait what oh my god
Or better: Para & Dox

No, I mean that "Rohan" review. It mentions Tonio's brother who is the main antagonist of the novel.

Are they not allowed to show characters lighting a cigarette? Also, is there an uncensored Jojo without the shadows?
In Japan they can't show underaged characters smoking. There is an uncensored version but it's not on Crunchyroll yet, if it ever will be available on Crunchyroll. The versions of Parts 1 and 2 on Crunchyroll are uncensored, but they got added long after the blurays had come out.Are they not allowed to show characters lighting a cigarette? Also, is there an uncensored Jojo without the shadows?
So I'm playing J-Stars Victory Vs. & two characters are making Jojo references. One brings up "Stands" & then another character replies "What are you saying? That I'm Crazy Diamond or something, huh?"
..........so how come Namco had to change it to Shining Diamond for All-Star Battle, but here, it's fine the way it is? Oh well, still cool to see Part 4 get reference considering the playable characters are Jonathan & Joseph.

Terraria added a new set of armor called "Stardust Armor". It gives you a Stand.

I'm still shocked that they went with those two over Jotaro, considering his popularity, but it kind of makes sense when you realize the game came out around the same time as the part 1 and 2 anime.
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Yep, that's probably the reason...
In fact, the game when it shows what series each character is from actually uses the "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation" logo specifically.
Also I wonder if Jotaro was deemed to look too similar to Momotaro, lol.

Yup, I think the reason was the anime was being shown at the time, which brought back Jonathan & Joseph into the spotlight. Plus it's nice to see Jojo in a crossover represented by someone NOT from Part 3 and let others have their moments.
Of course, there was Jotaro & Dio data found, though nowhere near finished. At the very least, Dio would've been cool for another villain (plus come on, his Super would've been dropping the ROAD ROLLER), and it would've pleased people wondering why nobody from Part 3 was in.
Edit: HAHAHAHAHAH PET SHOP CONFIRMED FOR EYES OF HEAVEN.....oh, & Lisa Lisa as well.

I hope you like part 3: the game
He's also a Joestar. The Joestar family tree is much bigger in the SBR universe.
