My brain hurts. This is hilarious and depressing.

[jgminto]

Disrespecting Valentine is disrespecting America. Also is that supposed to be a fucking fart joke!?

 

[Kurtofan]

Boymanman, this is a fucking joke

 

[SolarKnight]

This is pretty much everything we can know about the localized names in the game until the campaigns and dlcs start

 

[Tizoc]

Why not just call Part 8 Josuke 'JoJo'? The way they did it is silly.

EDIT: Who the slag is Phillips? Is it Coco Jumbo the turtle from Part 5?
Phillips the Senator.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

What's NGNL? I nearly bit my tongue pronouncing it.

I wonder if "Cool Ice" is gonna be Vanilla Ice's changed name...which seems silly considering it would have been changed from a music reference to a reference of a movie based on said music reference.

Also Sheer Heart Attack is just a plain ol' Heart Attack now.

 

[jgminto]

Why not just go with Iced...? That's been his english name for years.

 

[Astarte]

Filthy acts, at a reasonable price? I really wish they kept the four letters-one letter theme.
I also really hope the DLC doesn't cost 7 dollars each again, because that hurt my wallet.

 

[SolarKnight]

Because it's being used as a phrase rather than a name? The stand name still seems to be D4C it's just that they avoid saying what that actually means.

 

[Kusagari]

Why did they change Pucci's name to being Father Pucci?

What a random change for no reason.

I mean, something like Abominable Actions Achieved At a Bargain would have been nice to see.

Well, I think it has to do more with the origin of the name. Enrico was named after a fashion designer; even if it just seems like a normal name, I doubt araki would want it to be just a random name.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Are they seriously making puns for Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap? Sounds like ASB's version of Stealth Rock puns.

 

[Kusagari]

Enrico and Pucci are taken from two different fashion designers. There's no reason to keep Pucci if they're getting rid of the Enrico. It's just a cobbled together name from the two designers.

I see no reason at all they would have to change it.

I get the impression some lawyers take an extreme "better safe than sorry" approach and even if there's little actual chance of a suit the fact they're a recognizable chance at all is too much. Or that was historically the rumored/suspected issue with Earthbound, but that came out clean so who knows what went down there, maybe that WAS the case but someone just went "screw it, it's really not worth sweating over" while Namco Bandai's not inclined to feel the same way here.

Pucci's a fashion designer too? Hoho, well I learned something today. Maybe Pucci's estate actually gave their blessing? I mean, if something like Soft and Wet got okay'd by Prince

Oh god, Cool As Ice.

Sounds like something Pinky from Pinky and the Brain would say.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

This is the funniest thing I've seen all day. Worth it for the meme-worthy horribleness.

 

[SolarKnight]

 

[jgminto]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh. That's so bad...

 

[SolarKnight]

But you've gotta admit it fits Okuyasu

 

[jgminto]

Okuyasu would have used an unintentional masturbation joke.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Is that an accurate translation

 

[jgminto]

Is that an accurate translation

Well the panel it's referencing is translated as "I, Okuyasu Nijimura, will terminate you, Josuke Higashikata, with my stand "The Hand"!"

The dialogue in the game (link) uses both of their full names so it would have to be something similar to that. It was the single half a chapter when Okuyasu was actually a serious villain.

Well, to be fair, the former is an extremely [stilted] and [unnatural] sentence.

lol, my bad then. I keep forgetting about the poor guy.

 

[Astarte]

Everyone forgets the two true patriots of part 3; the senator and waldo.

 

[SolarKnight]

I wonder how hard it was for them to resist the temptation of phrasing that in a certain different way

Everyone forgets the two true patriots of part 3; the senator and waldo.

The reason nobody can find Waldo is because DIO killed him 2 decades ago

 

[Tizoc]

Wally people.
It's Wally.

 

[Boss Doggie]

But Waldo/Wally is immortal.

Brilliant.

 

[Zonic]

Huh, fight-with-style.com got updated & all of the DLC characters are on there.

Lisa Lisa is considered one word, so "LisaLisa". Iggy is the same, & yes, Vanilla Ice is indeed "Cool Ice".

 

[Erigu]

Huh, fight-with-style.com got updated & all of the DLC characters are on there.

I like how the changed names have kana anyway. Oh, Bandai Namco...

 

[Supaidaman]

I like how the changed names have kana anyway. Oh, Bandai Namco...

The kana are the changed names, actually . I'm surprised they did this.

For instance, Narciso Anasui's actual name is: ナルシソ・アナスイ

"Narc Anastasia" is: ナルク・アナスタシア

 

[Erigu]

The kana are the changed names, actually .

I know, that's what amuses me. Fake "original" names.

 

[Supaidaman]

I know, that's what amuses me. Fake "original" names.

Ah, I see. I agree completely, Bamco sure knows how to lie.

So, any speculation on Gappy's

Spoiler

Dark Will/firey eyeballs? He's done it twice now. They seem to white, unlike Johnny's which were black.

 

[jgminto]

I still don't really know what Jo2uke's bubbles can actually do. It's been such a long time since he's used them successfully that it's hard to know their potential. Couldn't he remove

Yotsuya's rock-shifting ability

with his bubble?

CH 31 spoilers:

Jo2uke's stand 「Soft and Wet」 uses his 「bubbles」 to 「take away something」 from another thing. In this case he used his 「bubbles」 to 「remove Yotsuya」 from the 「rocks」.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I swear when we talk about Jojo we should use Japanese quotation marks liberally.

 

[Haly]

I'm glad the Part 3「Anime」is so faithful to the「Manga」.

 

[jgminto]

I wish 「Araki」 would release more than one 「Chapter」 in a 「Month」
