damn... i would imagine he has the approve them tho, and if they got cheeky and specific enough to do that jacuzzi bit i feel like he probably doesn't hate that they're there
ah, ok cool. so if I'm not mistaken it's more that this format of naming stuff as that kinda iconic sounding phrase or term was conceived of for the previous parts before it carried forward to steel ball run.
Yeah, mexican and brazilian versions are based on the bunkobans(smaller volumes that mix two in one...and are pretty cheap) rather than going for the aizouban(-like thing that are the jojoniums
What I remember is that at least "Phantom Blood" and "Battle Tendency" are apocryphal. Stardust Crusader, I'm not sure, but I never called it like that until years later. I think one of the subtitles at the time was "未来への遺産", "Heritage for the future", which was used in the Capcom game as well.
I actually found out about all this by looking at the Wikipedia pages for each part, which lists the subtitles as of original publication. Part 6 was "Jolyne Kujo: Stone Ocean.", so kinda a transition point between the old and new naming, wheras Steel Ball Run and Jojolion have always just been that.
I'm not sure it was the original name! I *remember* it from that time, but my memory is not super reliable (Especially more than 20 years later). Especially because I remember that it was surprising the Giorno game didn't use the "normal" subtitle and changed the kanji 風 to 旋風 , while "the previous one had the normal subtitle of Heritage for the Future". It was one of the names, but I'm really not sure if that was official, a convention, something added in some guide book...
I thought part 6 actually began the whole "each part is its own volume" thing? and as far as I know part 1 was explicitly called "part 1" from the beginning
Wikipedia says "In its original publication, it was known as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3 Jotaro Kujo: Heritage for the Future."
It took them a while huh? Nowadays this choice feels so natural i'm surprised to know they only started it with SO
Huh, I stand corrected then, it does seem like it always had the concept of parts, the only thing that changed in rereleases was the subtitle for each part and resetting the volume count each new part.
Dude is less flashy than Dio and Kira "Nobody notice me with my purple suit, hand fetish and skull tie as I monologue to myself and fist this sandwich with this woman's hand" Yoshikage, but he's eviler than the two of them and created them. So much wouldn't have happened if he just never found the fucking arrows. I think he's in a way even responsible for Pucci. Diavolo thinking he's better than anybody is sort of a front as well, he's honestly no better than Ciccolatta as well.
honestly i think he hates Cioccolatta solely because he lacks any form of subtlety or restraint, and Secco because he's subservient and straight-forward. their way of fighting is the opposite of his, as are their aspirations.
With Cioccolata and Secco there's on bullshit regarding where they stand. At the very least Cioccolata never talked down to people the way Diavolo did.
I don't know if i'd agree with that... he's literally shown to have driven people to suicide by saying manipulative things to them, and his "relationship" with secco is all about talking down.
With Cioccolatta I see him as subconsciously depraved and he's acting that way to get what he wants. He's basically an animal getting his food when he's talking down to the elderly to get them to commit suicide. He's not doing it because he thinks he better than them the way I feel Diavolo does it. I'm probably describing it wrong but I definitely don't see Diavolo and Cioccolatta as one in the same and I don't read their motives the same way.
i understand what you're saying.
Would love to know what that asshole would think if he witnessed Dio's and Kira's antics and how responsible he was for it, then again. Dude peddled drugs. He'd probably usher up to Kira and Dio and go, "yo...how can I profit off the shit you're doing? KIra. You gotta hand fetish, how about you give me the hands and I'll get someone to make recreations of them before you explode them, no DNA, but you get to fist your mouth with them? You cool with that?" I really don't think there's a road low enough for Diavolo as long as he sees a buck from it.
absolutely. he wouldn't care about a serial killer that targets women, as most of his employees are male. simple as that.
"Dio, you can have the world, but just leave me Italy, but do you really think you have the time to handle all of the drug trade? I can take that off your hands, even handle some of the operations while you sleep during the day." Diavolo is not above the grift and I could see him doing something. Dude's a desperate piece of shit.
you know you're right. he would be happy to be dio's minion... but he would try to kill him at some point. and Dio would not respect him enough to spare him."Dio, you can have the world, but just leave me Italy, but do you really think you have the time to handle all of the drug trade? I can take that off your hands, even handle some of the operations while you sleep during the day." Diavolo is not above the grift and I could see him doing something. Dude's a desperate piece of shit.
This is the real Diavolo, he's just low and petty masquerading as a higher being. Lol dude's also a fucking sexist.
Yeah pretty much I think Diavolo would be fine working for Dio until he finds out about the Requiem arrow or he just gets drunk off power and starts to pose a threat for Dio. It's really weird how I came around on Diavolo with the anime, I didn't like him when I first read him, but the anime and the subtext that I was able to read with him and the discussions really flesh out this creep.
I mean, it's like when DIO stops time and moves through the immobile air molecules. He probably pushes them forward, but then when the time starts again there should be an immense vacuum/tornado effect.
what we saw with dio and the knives was that time actually moves normally around the things he interacts with, but once they leave his body they freeze again. so in essence he isn't actually moving at infinite speed like you might assume, his actions just complete instantly. because obviously if he was moving at infinite speed, striking an object lightly with his hand would likely make it literally explode, as well as doing damage to his hand.
Still, what happens to air molecules in this realm? Are they all free to move and push each other without limitation of radius? When Dio has gone to get the road roller, he has covered a rather big distance with a huge object, disturbing the flow of a big volume of gas. Even if the molecules he interacts with move, it's not like it's a chain reaction and all the air molecules flow naturally. After all, the pieces of the cat he made explode would have fallen on the ground if they did.
as he moves he creates a trail of unfrozen space that freezes again after he moves away. that space is free to interact with objects outside of it as much as it normally would, ie the displacement of air he creates has the same effect it would have on the entirety of the atmosphere in non-frozen time.
I just think he phases through things and decides what he interacts with. Like when he was sucked into the turtle, yet appeared on top of the stairs. To me, he just phased through the ground like he were Secco (if Sticky Fingers can do almost the same, there's no reason KC can't either). That's also how he leaves hotel rooms without having to open doors or windows, he just phases through the walls so no one sees him entering or leaving.
well the thing is since time is being erased there shouldn't be any effect on the environment, Time should just assume he got there naturally before the skip, right? just like everyone else? it's never implied he cant breath during erased time or anything like that, so oxygen can "enter" his lungs, even though he's the only one who would percieve the causality that led to said oxygen being in his lungs when time resumes.
no, hes like if The Hand never used his left hand again after the reveal.
i feel like diver down had more use than the hand in general but it's been a while since i've read part 6
oh absolutely, but its just i always thought every stand other than physically manifested ones could phase into people and things. like how jotaro stops his own heart. i guess diver down has more precision and control about it?
has there been another stand that could do that/was seen doing that aside from star platinum?
Kakyoin phases Heirophant into the ground while it's active in order to bring it into the dream world with him.
