I totally forgot when the Cheap Trick episode happens, is that before Kira's dad or after?

Like that's the one arc I always forget exists in Diamond until reminded of it.

Cheap Trick is the last encounter before Bites the Dust.

 

[D-Man]

I squealed like a girl when Koichi stepped out into the street because I knew who we were about to see. No Koyama is a downer but let's give the new guy a chance
Wonder if they'll bring back Koyama for Kawajiri

I doubt Kosaku-Kira is gonna have a different voice. He just changes his face, not his body.

You would think the Kawajiri family would notice if Kosaku suddenly had a completely different voice.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I think it's implied that the kawajiri family literally never talk to each other and Kira is just generically monotone.

Which is still kind of silly, but hey. If David Pro decides to switch VOs I wouldn't mind.

 

[fertygo]

Moriyama is great fit too, but Koyama is just perfect man ;__;

Worse is I can't think another role Koyama can voice now in JoJo, maybe Nero.. but man he dead in one eps

I wish they switch Moriyama for Pucci instead, now that damn good

Jouji Nakata sound too damn heavy for Pucci, I always imagine Pucci as rather light voiced

 

[Boss Doggie]

speaking of families, do you think the Higashitas know Joshuu has a Stand?

 

[Matsukaze]

Funny, I always imagined Pucci with a deeper voice and thought Sho Hayami did a very good job (Nakata too).

speaking of families, do you think the Higashitas know Joshuu has a Stand?

I imagine they know Joshuu has a Stand but maybe not what it does. He might have told Joubin, seeing as he tries to curry favor with his big bro, but I imagine it's at least assumed by his dad and siblings.

 

[Thud]

Joshuu is the best worst character.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I'm trying to think of the right place to end the first part of Shigechi's Harvest. Right when the fight is supposed to begin maybe? That's alot of ground to cover for one episode and not enough for the second.

If it ends right when Okuyasu discovers the winning ticket that would make for a fairly drab episode.

 

[Tizoc]

I've always felt the same, even from when I first read the manga. The progress of "Shigechi introduced --> Shigechi killed --> Cinderella introduced --> Cinderella killed" was way too on the nose.

But I seriously doubt David Pro are going to be rearranging any of the arcs.

yEAH ON the one hand, Kira follows Josuke and co.'s movements which allow him to learn of Cinderella stand, so on the one hand it fits but on the other the tone of it goes against what was established in the episode prior.

 

[Nottle]

At this point I'm pretty much convinced that people just don't want to like Giorno.

Honestly I want to like Giorno a lot. The son of Dio (but also sort of Johnathan) is such a cool idea. I love his look, particularly the checkerboard pattern of the tail of his coat. He has a very interesting stand and interesting backstory... But he is just overshadowed by Bruno and for me really doesn't have that many memorable fights. Initially we are told that his creatures reflect damage back which is in itself very op. Like why not just turn the dirt underneath someone into a thousand ants that get squished? So that was dropped. Then we have the incredibly shonen broken GER.

Gold Experience just seems so creative but also sort of cheap. With Crazy Diamond for example, it felt like its abilities were used in ways that out witted opponents and it still had its drawbacks, while Giorno pressed a win button most of the time.

Also they could have at least brought him back in part 6. After all the teasing it results in nothing and that is ultimately why i don't love him. Araki couldn't find a way to have him lose he just doesn't show up and we are just scratching are heads like "was he held up at the airport and unable to make it to the end of the world?" Part 5 could have been this amazing setup about escaping fate and paying for the sins of the father. Then part 6's finale could have had Jolyne and Giorno fight Pucci, where Brando and Joestar worked together to end Pucci's plan to carry on Dio's horrific legacy. You could have still had the heroes lose but tied everything up in a nice thematic bow.

Never, ever have the previous protagonist steal the spotlight from the current one.

 

[cntr]

Can't wait for people to reach Superfly and Cheap Trick and realize how shitty stands can be

 

[Nottle]

Jotaro sort of beat Giorno to the punch then.

Also Weather Report and Emporio had way more of an impact on that final fight than Jolyne.

The end of stone ocean is ballsy, I respect Araki for it. However making part 4 and 5 a little more relevant to everything could have been awesome. You can see right at the end he made this nice little bit with Dio's kids gathering together, you can tell he was about to do it but ratings were low and Giorno is hard to defeat.

It could have been sort of a book end to that universe. Johnathan went down with the ship with Dio. They were mortal enemies tied together by fate. It would have been perfect to have the offspring of Dio working with the descendants of Johnathan attempting to correct all the mistakes that happened due to that rivalry. Like Phantom Blood they could have still failed spectacularly because ultimately Dio's hatred is just too great to overcome. But like Johnathan's sacrifice before its bittersweet. Erina and Lisa Lisa lived on, and now the Irene universe lives on.

I just now bothered to learn that there is a song by Bowie called Cat People

BAH GAWD THAT HAIR.

 

[D-Man]

Well Jotaro was ultimately the one who defeated Kira, so I guess Araki doesn't care about that.

 

[cntr]

every main character defeated Kira together

 

[Nottle]

Well Jotaro was ultimately the one who defeated Kira, so I guess Araki doesn't care about that.

Exactly, an ambulance driver, Jotaro, Hayate, Josuke, Okuyasu all sort of shared the spotlight in that encounter. Josuke took out Kira's dad and saved Hayate. Meanwhile Hayate really did a lot of the leg work and then Jotaro and the ambulance get the glory.

Same thing happened with Pucci. Jotaro and Empirio were the only ones to even have a chance against Pucci after CMOON. I mean CMOON was giving Jolyne a hard time and then Made in Heaven made everyone but those two useless.
Part 3 is sort of Polnareff's story but that last fight is pretty much all Jotaro once Joseph tells him the stand secret. Guess Jotaro is sort of a show stealer.

Can't have a main character have a stand that stops time, even for such a little amount, without being massively overpowered compared to all the others.

 

[fertygo]

Polnareff portion is very overstated, he get as much spotlight as main sidekick should

like Rohan does

 

[Astral]

Oh no I can already see people complaining about Jotaro stealing the win against Kira.

 

[Thud]

And then you have Arnold sealing the deal.

 

[fertygo]

Oh no I can already see people complaining about Jotaro stealing the win against Kira.

Okuyasu is the one that steal it

And yes I pissed godammit Josuke deserve it

Its like Paul Pierce steal FMVP from KG

 

[Nottle]

Shitty ambulance driver is the real hero... Along with the demon ghosts.

Jotaro has a habit of knocking villains away into things that are very good or very bad...
Punches Dio into Joseph, punches Kira into the path of an ambulance, punches Pucci into the frame thing that lets him get Made In Heaven.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Oh no I can already see people complaining about Jotaro stealing the win against Kira.

That ambulance is op

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I love how Kira goes out. He's all like "Ok you won but fuck you I won't give you the satisfaction of killing me yourself I'MMA DIVE IN FRONT OF THIS AMBULANCE"

 

[MillionStabs]

Really though, it was the ghost hands that were the real MVPs

 

[Matsukaze]

So original Morioh has shitty ambulance drivers and alternate Morioh has shitty bus drivers. Sounds fair.

 

[Monochromaticx]

So close to seeing the GOAT stand in full animation glory, killer queen!!

 

[KingDirk]

Killer Queen is amazing, yeah, but we're not reaching GOAT until we reach D4C. Opinions!

 

[Grexeno]

Sex Pistols GOAT

 

[cntr]

Sex Pistols, Stone Free, D4C, Soft n' Wet...

I want them all animated.

 

[Haly]

I just want Mandom.

 

[Thud]

Vitamin C.

So good.

 

[Matsukaze]

I just realized that BTD isn't going to have that crazy jet engine sound effect like it did in All-Star Battle. I'm going to miss that effect, even if it didn't really make sense.

I hope when DavidPro animates Abbacchio pissing into the teapot in Part 5, they just go nuts and give it the sound effect of a fire hose to fuck with viewers.

 

[Monochromaticx]

Is the stand that put people inside pages of paper in part 4 or was it part 3?

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Part 4 - it's called Enigma

 

[Astral]

Yo has DTL dropped the act?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Yo has DTL dropped the act?

Nah he affirmed his desire for Rohan/Koichi becoming canon on the last episode.

 

[Astral]

Nah he affirmed his desire for Rohan/Koichi becoming canon on the last episode.

I miss his paragraph long reviews and complaints about the editors.

 

[RubberLuffy]

So am I the only one who thinks his post was super gross? Rohan is 20 and Koichi is 15 but looks younger.

DTL don't care.

 

[grandjedi6]

Just wait until he thinks they died

 

[RubberLuffy]

DTL don't care.

No one else seems to either. I remember him pretty much getting a pass for all his creepy Gon and Killua stuff, and those characters are 12 years old.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Vento Aureo complete. I really liked the epilogue; I read the nice colored translation.

Question regarding Diavolo's fate: how did he end up in those places after the morgue? Is it just his spirit reliving death, or his physical form too? Although several people interacted with him, so I guess he's physically resetting.

There's a completed color retranslation?

It's just his mind/spirit reliving death, his body was thrown into the Tiber.

 

[Squishy3]

The epilogue was completed by some anonymous people since it was only 6 pages
