Jojo's Bizarre Adventure |OT| Get back, Stand up

So I'm watching Stardust Crusaders again and I'm at Judgment. I'm wondering why Araki didn't just let Avdol stay dead and have his dad take his place. Since they'd have been father and son they could have had similar Stands. Surely fans would've been pretty satisfied with that. It would have made more sense than the group being a bunch of assholes and letting Polnareff believe Avdol was still dead and that that was actually his dad.

But the group is a bunch of assholes! Every last one of them.
I didn't like Avdol dying to begin with...only to eventually die again.

It would've felt cheaper if he brought in a relative that looks like Avdol and had similar powers just suddenly appear. Bringing Avdol back was largely out of Araki's hands but that's the nature of the beast.

Well, I'm done with Diamond is Unbreakable.
The finale felt abrupt and there was a huge lost opportunity with how little Josuke and Joseph interacted, but otherwise it really sold the bizarre of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, with time bending bombs, mutant plant cats, and a guy who might be an alien.
Does Vento Aureo have a good translation or does it have its own duwang?
I thought that was great. Reviving Avdol made the viewer relax and think nobody was actually going to die, only for the dude to be completely obliterated with Iggy and Kakyoin quickly following suit.
Apparently his death was supposed to stick and Hol Horse was going to become a main character, but I'm okay with what we got. Hol Horse is best when he's a total dickbag.

Last I checked it was still getting a proper translation.

Ever since someone brought up how Jotaro and Polnareff should've gotten the Mariah fight while Avdol and Joseph should've gotten the Alessi fight I have been bugged to no end.
Imagine Polnareff dry humping a super stoic and slightly annoyed Jotaro (or vice versa?!?)
Imagine baby avdol attempting to keep his honor while being bathed by that random lady, and then he gets saved by Battle Tendency Joseph.
Fuck
FUCK.

Ending felt a bit rushed but it's hard to follow up on the dio fight of part 3. I very much agree with what you said about this being most "bizarre". I've always felt part 4 best lives up to the name of the series compared to other parts since it is just slice of life with random BS happening in a small town. Great part one of my favorites.
The part 5 translation is a bit tricky. The finished translation is fine and very much readable but the translation is just a bit bland. Some characters come off as boring, etc. There's currently another group re translating it I'm not sure how far they are though.
Oh god, yeah, especially since Avdol turns Old Joseph into BT Joseph in the Capcom fighter. Now I want to see that situation happen just for Part 2 Joseph to return for one more battle.

Stone Ocean is almost too weird.

Part 6 is the most bizarre purely because of Heaven and Heavy Weather, but Part 8 could beat it.
At least he gave Avdol a personality the second time round. I also think it was necessary to get rid of him and his knowledge of stands so the others could stand on their own more.

Thats the point Araki said "Fuck it, lets have them fly now."
Well, Kohei Ashiya (SC's animation and art director) did some sketches back in April...

I always thought Giorno also pulled the Bowie look beside Kira. I guess I'm the only one.

You looked at bumped Bowie thread on the gaming side and you can see how you can make that argument for a frightening number of characters period.

^oh nice
Doesn't seem there are any 6 plus ones, only 6 and 6s. I'd say check after the merchandise cycle for the Part 4 anime has started. Worst case scenario you can just find some art you like, and there's probably a place that makes custom labels for iphone covers or something like that.
If you can't find anything official you could always check Redbubble I guess.
The OG Jojo 'verse got reset, then UNreset by Pucci's death, but altered in a way. It's still the original timeline.
A multiverse got created, SBR/Jojolion's verse being one of them.

It's also worth noting that the universe seen at the end of Stone Ocean probably isn't the same one as the SBR universe.

Unless we suddenly see Irene and co. in JoJolion.
So if I have this right there's:
The original, now mixed up universe reset by Pucci. Most things are the same but Jolyne and the SO cast are alive and Jolyne (now Irene) gets along with her dad.
The new universe from Steel Ball Run onward, with Part 7 and 8.
The universe from Eyes of Heaven where

Avdol, Kakyoin and Iggy survived Stardust Crusaders, and Jotaro brings Jolyne with him to Morioh.

There's also this decent FAQ done on the JoJo subreddit on some Part 6 questions if you're wondering.

Started Vento Aureo, up until the introduction of Fugo's Stand.
Giorno sounds like a fanfic character on paper, being Dio and Johnathan's half vampire son, but I really like how the group are actual, bloodthirsty, murderous gangsters. Jotaro and Joseph only ever killed in the heat of battle and Josuke didn't kill anyone, period, but these guys are ready to just destroy you. Plus, using the backstory of JoJo to jump off into a completely new country with wholly new characters and conflicts is such a cool idea and something I wish JoJo did a bit more.

50 chapters into Jojolion. We get some clarity.
