You don't need to put the crazy stands like Biggie in but there's plenty of people missing from ASB that could work in a game.

Here I was trying to remember the shooter from part 6 when I saw that picture then realized that he was a sniper not a dude with two handguns.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Part 5 is great, most consistently awesome fights in the series.
Agreed. Story is lower tier (not the worst - hello Part 1) but the fights were all amazing. Giacco/White Album fight is easily in the top 3. And the story had its moments, too.

Nero is the true villain of Part 5, IMO. Sure, Diavolo is a crazy bastard with a weird time ability, and Nero only shows up briefly, but he was the leader behind the first half (or more) of the fights in Part 5 and he was a much cooler and more charismatic character. Having an ability that makes sense is a plus, too.

I thought I'd be immune from Eyes of Heaven hype given how disappointed I was by ASB but there you are.

Finally trying to push through Part V now myself. The first four volumes (the Shizuka Joestar translation) are so good, with a lot of nuance and character, and then you're left with the old translation, with bad scans and a flat tone and it's like hitting a brick wall.

Still I'm up to 54 now and Buccellati is really growing on me as a JoJo buddy.

Oh that explains why I started disliking 5 as it went on. I thought it had so much potential then it fell flat to me.

Yeah. After the first time I tried Part V, I decided to wait for Shizuka, but it doesn't look like any more volumes are coming any time soon.

Well now that the people doing the coloured scans have reached the end of the already retranslated stuff they've said they're going to start translating themselves as well. If it's a good translation it should mean it'll move forward more regularly.
 
New JoJolion chapter is out. Nosebleed hype!
I thought we were getting close to some answers, but was that Kosaku Kawajiri at the end? I'm even more confused.

I half expected Gappy to punch through the tissue box and knock Joubin out. That was a great chapter, Paisley Park finally doing something is pretty good.

Ummm...you done gonna get...arped? I can't tell, King Crimson seems more 'WTFed' at what happened to Giorno to even attack Mista/Trish.

That's gotta be the wussiest kick I've seen in a JoJo series.

This thread and the upcoming relaunch of the latter half of Stardust Crusaders is getting me so hype for the chance of Diamond in Unbreakable being animated. I found this on Youtube - how amazing would this be for an opening? It goes in a completely different direction from what we've seen to this point, but tonally, Part 4 is so different from everything so far that I wouldn't change much about it.

How funny would it be to watch someone get smacked with this as a first-time viewer after coming off that Dio fight, haha.

Reread the final battle of Part 3 in preparation for the season starting and I'm wondering what does Jotaro tell Kakyoin's parent? He died in a plane crash? He saved the world from a vampire? Pretend he never knew him?

He's the only side character that would be in that situation besides Shigekiyo in part 4. I actually got pretty sad when Shigekiyo died knowing his parents would never know what happened to him.

It's not even an adventure, really. Just bug fights and small town politics.
 
lol at those subtle spoilers in the new op

I have mixed feelings on the new op. It definitely has that manly and awesome feeling, but it just doesn't have that "oh man I have got to sing along to this" feel so far :/

Maybe it'll grow on me

Both the opening and the ending were great.

Particularly the ending.

Nice to see Hermes and Jolyne in the commercial as well.
