I'm curious, what is this Tsurugi theory?Man if the Tsurugi theory is true i can't wait for everyone's reaction
Gappy is probably going to be a top 3 jojo for me by the end of part 8.
I wonder if he'll lose his new rock features at some point or if they'll be part of him for the rest of the part.
Wonder if Josuke is going to go right back after Akefu, or if his comment at the end of the chapter suggests he's going to go after the new rokakaka and hope to run into Akefu on the way.
Whaaaaa? Tsurugi as the head doctor makes no sense, I don't buy that theory for one second.
broke: becoming a vampire bc of a stone mask
Woke: becoming the friggin stone mask
Whaaaaa? Tsurugi as the head doctor makes no sense, I don't buy that theory for one second.
This chapter was pretty damn cool. Still have no idea where its going, but the Head Doctor making medicine out of the Rock Fruit is a disaster waiting to happen. Josuke is now full of rock skin, I don't think a new Rock Human population is gonna sit well with anyone. That also does raise a question, will Soft and Wet see an upgrade in its powers? I mean its alreadh half Soft and Wet half Killer Queen, but the addition of Josuke now being part rock human should have an affect on his stand.
i don't think Josuke is part Rock Human now...Rock Humans are a different species than regular Humans. I don't really think having the Rokaka turning parts of you into stone due to equivalent exchange is the same as becoming part Rock Human. Maybe it is though? It's hard to tell lol.
Anyways, this was an interesting chapter. I still don't really know what the hell is going on lol.
The Head Doctors stand is ridiculously overpowered if it can be activated based on thought alone. Might be one of the most overpowered stands in the whole series...(if this is indeed a stand ability)
Also, they were performing human trials on Holly with the Locaca medicine? Was there a reason for that? If she had no wounds to heal, or nothing wrong with her, why were parts of her turned to stone if there was nothing to exchange? She made it sound like her illness was caused by the Locaca medicine, which doesn't really make sense why parts of her body would be exchanged for stone if there was nothing wrong with her to begin with?
Man this shit is so crazy, probably the most abstract and hard to understand JoJo part yet lol. I'm really interested to see how this all comes together, between the Higashikata family, the Head Doctor, Josuke, Yasuho, and Tooru.
i'm not sure i understand what you mean lolCompletely unrelated to this meanwhile.The reason normal humans turn to stone is because they don't have the same cell composition as the rock humans, who can eat the fruit and heal because they have the rock hibernation process and already are part rock. And with Josuke already being a human who was created from equivalent exchange, you would think a 2nd Rokaka consumption would take things down a different path, especially with the new variety. The equivalent exchange used to take one part of the body for each of the healed areas, but here its like a random assortment of drops, almost as if his body melted.
Me must be really close to tbe endgame if the Jojo of this part is getting that injured or deformed, I cannot wait to see how Araki closes Part 8.
Josuke/Kira became one human after some equivalent exchange. Iirc it was from consuming the old variety of Rokakakas. Or was it the wall eyes in combination with the fruit. Don't remember. Anyway, since he is being healed with a 2nd fruit based medicine which is likely made with the new strain, we have no idea what the effects are and if perhaps he is slowly becoming anrock human. But the effect does look like his skin melted and became stone from his head downwards. And finally, if he is becoming rock human let's say, wouldn't that have an effect on his stand?
[Right okay, gotcha. Still suspicious at the very least, I don't think anyone saw Josuke being petrified like this coming at all. [/Spoiler]The New Rokakaka fruit still hasn't been harvested so the medicine is based on the old one, I'm pretty sure at least.
Josefumi healed Kira by feeding him the New Rokakaka, which then used Josefumi's body for its equivalent exchange rather than Kira's body. Them being buried at the Wall Eyes is what caused their fusion (Im pretty sure).
What I'm saying is that the Rokakaka doesn't change your genetic makeup. Rock Humans are a different species than normal humans...the fruit just exchanges pieces of your body with stone, your cellular makeup. I don't think it changes your DNA.
Perhaps it will have an effect on his stand, it very well could, but I really don't think he is becoming a rock human any more than Holly is a rock human or Tsurugi is a rock human.
Rock Humans were born that way, because they are not human, they are Rock Human.
i certainly wouldn't have predicted itRight okay, gotcha. Still suspicious at the very least, I don't think anyone saw Josuke being petrified like this coming at all.
Then i got a new favourite part
SameThis is it.
Josuke 8 has become my favourite JOJO.
Jojolion keeps getting better and better.
it's unclear, in one panel it looked like it was only on his eyelid or just above his eye, but the other one definitely shows it covering. We'll see which is intended next chapter, I guess.
Bruh. What did my son do to her?Why does this keep happening to me? Why couldn't they kill fucking Lil' Bomber or something?"
no he can see behind himself now, he's now a submarine
honestly when im having something recommended to me i want as little information as possible. "hey you like cheesy vintage superhero comics right? check this out."Honestly the vid feels more for someone that already read or watched part 5 and is a fan of the channel.
I just realized ghiacchio probably found out about Giorno's healing at that moment too lol("WHAT THE HELL?!" up until now i just thought he'd forgotten Giorno was therethere's something i never really internalized in the white album fight in the anime, possibly due to editing: the positioning of giorno at the final sequence. i always thought he was on the car the whole time until he ran over to save mista, but watching and reading it back i noticed that when he rips open his arm to make blood spurt from it, he's doing so on the ice ramp ghiaccio made when he tried to freeze mista against the wall.
that's why his blood reaches out to the frozen Gently Weeps barrier. from that point on, while mista is doing his final gambit, giorno is healing his arm so he doesnt bleed out, then working his way up to land on a still-weak arm just in time to turn the bullet that entered mista's head into part of his flesh/skull.
so basically giorno was working his way over there during that whole last standoff, and the time from him spurting blood on gently weeps and saving mista couldn't have been more than 30 seconds, probably more like 25.
yup, he probably thought giorno just had plant powers until that pointI just realized ghiacchio probably found out about Giorno's healing at that moment too lol up until now i just thought he'd forgotten Giorno was there
Melone died before giving the important intel lolyup, he probably thought giorno just had plant powers until that point
i love how the fact that they were split up actually made sense, because they were all trying to meet up as soon as possible but circumstances got in the way. melone died before linking up with Ghiaccio, Risotto was busy decoding the picture in some distant location and sent a copy to Ghiaccio online before heading there himself.
