Is it too late to play this game?

Remember that time when Gyro had a shootout at a casino he had to lose all of his money at or else he would teleport into a tree.

 

[FlowersisBritish]

I noticed this too when I was rereading it lol, but I remember being legit shook by that twist the first time around. Maybe because jojos is so out there normally I didn't put 2+2 together. I think the dialogue when Gyro is in denail about it is really running anti conspiricy theory shit too.

I pieced it together, but then I shooed all those thoughts away because there is absolutely no way Akari is going to write Jesus into the story. That would be ridiculous!

 

[JayEH]

It's pretty explicit throughout the part. I kinda figured it was Jesus when they mentioned it was a saint the first time then when they started describing the corpse, talking about Joseph of Arimathea, Gyro's and the vatican's silence, etc it became obvious to me.

 

[Genryu]

So, the corpse was brought up again in part 8 in a flashback, but what are the chances that it plays a role further along in this part?

What if all of the corpse pieces were buried near the Wall Eyes and fused back into Jesus Christ himself

What if Joshua bar Joseph is the true Jojo of Part 8

What if Ol' Oily Josh's Stand is called Judas Priest

Christ maybe Part 8's gonna end up being the best Part after all

 

[cntr]

oh man that's right

Hot Pants was a nun and an agent of the Vatican

 

[Tizoc]

Wouldn't explaining Stone Ocean make more sense if you could just explain everything away by just saying, "people are high as fuck" though?

One word is enogh to describe part 6:
Florida

 

[Genryu]

With the Steel Ball Run stuff, I suddenly remembered Chocolate Disco and how dumb it is.

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

Hot Pants vs. Tubular Bells sure was fun

Remember when there was tension over how the protagonists are going to defeat balloon animals

It might but I rather it not be brought up again. I hope the extent of its use was only to justify stands in japan.

I just don't see it, I feel like it really is going to be a key plot device later on, and used to explain the Rock people.

Now, what would be total BS is if Diego somehow came back.

 

[PixelatedBookake]

Yeah didn't the user just show up to Gyro and say his name, his stand's name and proceed to fight him? That was a weird, pointless fight to me. But hey, whatever prevents a fourth character possibly shooting Johnny at the same time through three different dimensions is good by me.

 

[cntr]

I like the idea of SBR Giorno being descended from Diego, since he probably had a few illegitimate children right

 

[Thud]

One word is enough to describe part 6:
Florida

Standname: Florida
Power: Weirdness

 

[RadioHeadAche]

I was listening to Fleetwood Mac's Tusk at work again, and while on my break I got to the titular "Tusk". At the same time I had picked up where I left off in SBR, and when Johnny turned the tables with Tusk act 3, I got chills.

Those chapters didn't make much sense in general with Valentine showing off abilities that are inconsistent with D4C's later revealed powerset.

Like seriously, what

What if that's a Valentine from an alt. universe?

 

[Village]

Would like to mention, really love how his art has come along. I felt like part 7 and 8 had a major artistic jump especially in terms of faces

Part 7 has some inspiring peaks but the valleys in part 8 are dreadful. Could be a product of a bad/ inconsistent scans in some instances but poses/ anatomy don't lie... a lot of the art is down right terrible.

 

[cntr]

pfft, what, I don't remember anything that awful in Part 8

 

[Monochromaticx]

Part looks great. Some scans don't do it justice

 

[SolarKnight]

Judging from the (barely watchable because of King Crimson) beginning of today's episode, it seems like whoever said they changed the name of the arc because they were gonna treat at least Superfly and Enigma as one arc called it.

Edit:...Make that Superfly and Enigma AND My Dad is not My Dad AND Cheap Trick.

 

[cntr]

dayum.

 

[Monochromaticx]

Woah

What. So we are looking at 4ish episodes?

 

[cntr]

also why are you streaming it

I thought you watched it on TV

 

[SolarKnight]

What. So we are looking at 4ish episodes?

The episode started with Koichi getting kidnapped, was like over half of Superfly, and then ended with Cheap Trick's user arriving at Rohan's house, a shot of Kira, and a shot of Hayato all with a timestamp. So we're probably getting 3 or 4 episodes called July 15 yeah.

 

[cntr]

I didn't know all those arcs took place on the same day, huh.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I can't imagine koichi getting saved then visiting Rohan in the same day.

 

[cntr]

yeah I guess that bit is going to be changed, wouldn't be hard

 

[Monochromaticx]

Maybe it's July 15 two parts and July 16 two parts? I dunno,I should watch the episode first.

 

[SolarKnight]

I can't imagine koichi getting saved then visiting Rohan in the same day.

Koichi saved Rohan THEN got kidnapped probably. It's not as if it was being shown in chronological order I think. Wasn't he on his way to school during Cheap Trick?

 

[RecRoulette]

I like the idea of interweaving arcs, but damn it looks like they tried to do a lot. I don't even remember what the part with Josuke's mom is about.

Then again, At this point of DiU I was really getting sick of random encounters, so this will probably end up alright.

 

[cntr]

This turns a set of random encounters into the final all-out assault of DiU, so I'm behind it

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Yeah, it really builds up to the finale with Kira's dad at his limit trying to stop the Morioh Crew at once, before desperation hits comes Bite the Dust.

 

[SolarKnight]

Ok my speculation about Koichi was wrong because I didn't see well the time on my first watch. This means that from 8am to about 10:40 am of the same day Koichi got kidnapped, Josuke fought Superfly, immediately after healed Yuya and fought Enigma to save Koichi and his mom just in time so that Koichi can help Rohan with Cheap Trick at around 11am.

Sheesh

 

[JayEH]

Ok so this all happening on the same day is just adaptation nonsense.

 

[cntr]

Good adaptation nonsense, though

 

[RecRoulette]

This is going to be three parts right? I don't see this all wrapping up in 2.

 

[SolarKnight]

This is going to be three parts right? I don't see this all wrapping up in 2.

Make that 4. At best Superfly ends next week but we'd still have Enigma, Cheap Trick, and My Dad is not my Dad left.

And I think you'd need mors than just one episode to wrap up all three of those.

 

[Tizoc]

This video is very relevant to this thread

[MillionStabs]

Koichi getting kidnapped was around 8 am, Rohan with Cheap Trick was around 10 am.

Makes no sense, but do what you gotta to get everything in I guess

 

[cntr]

Maybe they'll just straight up replace Koichi with Joseph or something

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Enigma probably doesn't last long in Jojo time.

 

[Squishy3]

With the date naming scheme actually it makes a lot of sense and this way we don't get an an episode titled "Another One Bites the Dust."

 

[Thud]

Looks like 4 parts. Two for thursday, two for friday.

 

[Monochromaticx]

Yeah I think it will 15th 2 parts 16th? 2 parts
It's a really cool idea to combine the arc like that.

 

[Thud]

I noticed the emphasis on thursday

AND WHERE FRIDAY GOES NOT EVEN ZA HANDO KNOWS
