I just assumed that Jojolion takes place before Irene is born.
Assuming the timeline is identical between Ireneverse and SBRverse, she'd be born already, and would be around the age she was when part 6 took place (and everyone looks the same in Ireneverse to part 6 aside from Irene's hair being longer) since Jojolion takes place in 2011.
Also, we don't have a likely counterpart to Jotaro in part 8 that is the age to have a daughter, the two candidates would be Kira Yoshikage and Kyo Nijimura, and both are too young to have a daughter that age. Kira would have had to have gotten a girl pregnant when he was 10, and Kyo would have had to have gotten pregnant when she was 3 years old, so...
She has the Joestar birthmark... so.
Steel Ball Run is the reboot, Jojolion is just the continuation, it was just unclear where Jojolion was until the family tree reveal. It also proves that The World was always Dio's stand and not Jonathan's, since Diego steals Scary Monsters and then Valentine brings in Diego (2) that got his stand presumably through the devil's palm in his universe instead of stealing it.

Yeah that's what I meant. SBR.

You're assuming Irene couldn't be from a branch family from the members of the Joestar family that exist in the SBRverse but not in the original

Jojolion 40 is out. I legit can't believe we're 40 chapters in.

Thanks for the explanation but what about Giorno ?
And if The World is Dio's Stand, how did Jotaro get almost the same stand ?

I don't think your Father determines what your stand is. Jolyne doesn't have a similar stand to Jotaro and Josuke's isn't similar to Joseph's. Only similarities are between Jonathan and Joseph.
Pucci wasn't aware of Emporio prior to obtaining Made in Heaven and with the original cast dying prior to the first reset, Emporio becomes the last remaining character left to fight Pucci within his orchestrated world.
Since it is unknown how MIH affects any other Stand user outside of those shown, Giorno and Diavolo being untouched is just conjecture on my part, based on how GER works and some outside sources. In All-Star Battle for example, Giorno is not slowed down by MIH as long as GER is active. Since in the manga GER doesn't need to be activated, maybe that's the case there. The same is true for Diavolo, since he is trapped in the infinite death loop by GER, which for all intents and purposes seems to be a pocket dimension.
But like I said, unless anyone from the old universe shows up in the SBR timeline this is all speculation.

There's a theory that DIo actually had all the abilities of the Joestar bloodline stands rolled into one which was The World. So Hermit Purple, Holly's stand (Whatever that did) and Star Platinum = The World.
It sorta makes sense.
Is that actually his power? I always assumed Star Platinum could always stop time but he didn't realize he could until Dio.

The whole 'stop time' thing is more 'moving so fast it appears as if time has stopped' really.
Star Platinum has super strength, enhanced senses, super durability, super speed and the ability to extend its fingers, if not specific parts of its body/form.
That doesn't really make sense though, since not only the Stands move during the time stop. Dio and Jotaro can move too. Stands don't give their users superhuman physical abilities, so I doubt Jotaro and Dio themselves are moving so fast to make everything else appear to have stopped.

I'm so glad Yasuho is finally getting her first real stand battle. After reading the chapter this page now makes sense but man that looked random as hell when I saw it
Eh, true, it doesn't actually work like that, but if you think about it "moving so fast it's as if time stopped" definitely sounds like a logical evolution of Star Platinum and The World's power.

Got my copy of the first Phantom Blood hardback volume. The front cover is nice and all, but I love how evil the back cover is.
Cool! Should be getting mine later today.
Mine says it's arriving by 8pm today and it's still not in my state. It just arrived in the state next to mine.

I'm at chapter 57 in Steel Ball Run and even though I'm still not a huge fan of the combats and the pacing, but the story is much more interesting than the previous part and the characters are really great, they get a lot of developpement and they are even background for some minor ennemies.
The Hot Pants flashback is really horrible
Rewrite
Not as deep as he thinks
So jelly. ;(
Hopefully I get another email saying it's delivering soon. I still have hope damn it!
all flashbacks are horrible. They started in what, 5?
Okay, I've finished reading through it. Viz did a really good job with it, both with the physical qualities of the book and with the localization. Only one thing in the writing that stood out as off to me, which was
Also, the interview with Araki in the back is great
Dio says "I quit being human!" when he puts on the mask, which is a little boring
Also, the interview with Araki in the back is great
I was saying that I find it hard to believe it's going to drive the 2 hours to get here, get through UPS sorting, and be here by 8PM. There's an hour 10 minutes left and it still isn't even at the UPS center.

They started almost immediately with the flashback of how Johnny couldn't walk anymore and there was a lot of them and they are great.
Now I read a page where the president of the united stades tries to make love with a 14 years old girl, I cannot even believe what I just wrote
i meant Vento Aureo and yeah that part with Valentine is creepy.

Oh right, suddenly, it feels off when character like Kakoyin or Avdol have absolutely no background

Magenta stopped thinking, I laughed
Eh I'm big fan of most flashback since Araki use it, they're collection of odd story that can so out-of-the-box and charming.

When I said horrible, it was in a "good" way
They just feel out of place sometimes to me or I guess forced?
Like some of the background stories just seem like he's trying too hard to make the character's life pre Jojo seem like the most miserable thing. He does a good job with some but I think ones like Diego's are bad.
They break the flow of the story sometimes too. I would prefer more subtle ways to introduce the characters' back story.

I don't remember which character it is specifically, but the back story for one of the later bad guys in part 6 is literally the beginning of Holes.
Edit: It was Donatello Versus.

Weather Report's back story was something else
oh my goodness you're right.
Yeah, it's just with Ichiro Suzuki instead of Sweet Feet. I made the same connection. Araki truly is a westaboo.
It makes sense when you consider what his Stand does.

Fuck yes it is. It's so beautiful, omg. I didn't think it was going to be that top knotch quality tbh, but it's really great quality. It's making the wait for the next release even more painful!Man the JoJo vol 1 book is really great quality wise! Really wish the next would be here soon
Alessi > Hol Horse Shoots Dio > D'arby> Hol Horse and Boingo > Pet Shop > D'arby the Gamer > Vanilla Ice > DIO'S WORLD#3's a dick
D'arby the Gambler is after Alessi right? Then it's a rematch with Hol Horse correct?
There'll probably be a part 4 tease, maybe a clip of Josuke looking at the camera and saying "What the fuck did you say about my hair?!"

Or they could show a car in a snowstorm and the child looks back at a dude with a pompadour pushing it.
So pretty much what I asked
Hol Horse and Dio could be shown to finish off the Alessi 2-parter.
Or when they finish the final battle, they show a kid in D̶u̶w̶a̶n̶g̶Morioh getting better after almost 50 days of a "disease"...

How about a flashback to the future with a discussion about Oldseph's inheritance and Jotaro being informed about Josuke and how he has to find him
