Jonathan on the Part 1 covers wears some weird ass hats.

Why is Zeppeli in one panel sitting on a wooden fench and then in the next panel he's sitting on a fucking stone brick wall?

How does that even happen? They're within the same three panels? Fucking Zeppeli charging up that frog punch for like 4 pages.

If Funny Valentine ran for president in this day and age would people have related to his "take the napkin" message?

Erina and Jonathan are walking down a road with a wooden fence on one side and a brick wall on the other. Zeppeli uses weird ripple jump abilities to travel back and forth to disorient both Jonathan and the reader.

I think it happened before he even started ripple jumping all over the place.

Oh, absolutely.
Fabulous hat.
Probably late on this, but just discovered that the name change for Enigma to Misterioso not only is the spanish word for "Mysterious", but also the name of an 1958 jazz album by Thelonious Monk Quartet.
....At the very least, whenever they do a name change, they try to keep the music references. Wonder if Araki approved of the name considering, if I recall, he played a role in approving or coming up with the name changes for All-Star Battle, which pretty much set the standard for US names.

"Suppose that you were sitting down at this table. The napkins are in front of you, which napkin would you take? The one on your left? Or the one on your right? The one on your left side? Or the one on your right side? Usually you would take the one on your left side. That is correct too. But in a larger sense on society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute society with the Universe. The correct answer is that It is determined by the one who takes his or her own napkin first. Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right, then theres no choice but for others to also take the right napkin. The same goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left, because they have no other option. This is society "
I mean, aside from a few sentences being a little bit too long, this could be straight out of Trump's fat mouth.

What about Zipper Man? And almost all of part 5?

I was curious about the new JoJoniums, and whether they modified the translation from the originals. I can confirm that the text has been slightly updated if that matters to anyone.
Original is on the left
Not really sure which one I prefer

Though hopefully they fix some of the clumsier lines
Rewrite
Not as deep as he thinks
I have the original release of SC, and yes the text is different. I actually went back and compared the two versions. Here's my take on it... Sometimes the changes are better in the Jojonium release, but there's other times where I prefer the original version. It's weird. It'll definitely be cool to go back and forth throughout its release!
Also, I did not like the French words in the OG version, so I'm glad they're gone in the Jojonium release. Reason being is that a lot of the times they didn't translate the French that was being said from Polnareff.

I'd have to look more into Part 5, but I want to say that Zipper Man references the cover of Sticky Fingers, which is a close-up of a man's jean zipper.
Even Cool Ice seems to work since it seems be a reference to the movie "Cool as Ice", which started Vanilla Ice.
That could be possible since there was some new name changes not present in the video games by Namco.
David Pro tries to keep music references, Namco, not as much.
I think the "mouth flaps" play a role too, like, "Highway Star" is four syllables in Japanese (High-way su-tar), right?
So my thinking is that they went with "Highway Go-Go" (referencing the Wham! song, four syllables) so that the dub can match the mouth flaps, as opposed to something like "Freeway Star" (three syllables)

I'm sure D4R works, or just go with how Eyes of Heaven is like "nobody knows what D4C really stands for."

Turns out "Do you remember how many breads you have eaten" is a canon line. I guess I just liked to assume DP were just having fun with the script. When Dio is blocking Zeppeli's punch in that pose it just looks like Dio has one giant fucking leg.

The weird thing is that all of Namco's name changes were approved by Araki (whatever that means).
Araki was probably just hungry as fuck because that parfait looked delicious. However, I fully believe that the parfait will be the key to beating Nut King Cole Requiem when the final battle rolls around.
Sort of like how the Asari in the new Mass Effect was named Peebee.

I wish Araki approved of name changes for the PS2 Vento Aureo game ;~;
If it got a dub the English VA could have been OVA-tier and I wouldn't care
