Q&A
“They sure seem to be taking it easy” has the same vibes as “Giorno’s waving” while he suffocates to death in the fight against Babyface.
Jojo’s biggest antagonist: a distance of about 20 metres.
The rain sounded like Josuke.
Just remember the half deaf josuke was the only one who heard shigechi yell
Half deaf? Am I misremembering something?
Apparently josuke is deaf in one ear, or partially deaf
Josuke was like in the middle of class
It was lunch time,
Everyone in Jojo is very near sighted but are too embarrassed to admit it
Look, the glasses didn't go with their outfit, ok?
Makes sense. There's way too few people with glasses in Jojo.
Reminds me of when usagi and dragona was fucking around in the watch store while jodio and paco was fighting for their lives with charmingman
100% what I came to comment, it's actually quite funny that the pairs got switched this time
Mr Pink really is a walking bad omen
What a tragedy that the real Joestar Bloodline Curse is perpetually terrible long-range vision.
The only stand stronger than Made in Heaven is a stand that can separate one of the secondary cast from his team at about 20 meters. Do that and you've practically won.
In this chapter Usagi turns into a rock human and fucking dies
Usagi's such a rascal
What shenanigans will he get into next time!- oh...
Usagi discovers the health detriments of fast food, as he heaves and chokes on wet cement
So the “JOJOLands” is going to be Jodio owning the entirety of Hawaii.
If you think about it, he has a motivation somewhat similar to Diego in SBR.
Jodiego
Jodiego Go
Someone made a YouTube video once of the Go Diego Go theme song but with Diego Brando
Holy shit ur so right
At this point I'm waiting to see how he is related johnny or diego, he's a variant of giorno come on just tell us how he is connected
on his mother side, he's a grandson of this verse's joseph joestar, with the part 8 joestar-kiras as their first cousins (chapter 1 has a family tree). that's the johnny connection, wouldn't be surprised if their father is a Brando
Diego was married to an old lady who he presumably killed. Maybe he had a kid with one of his many fan girls.
...the first chapter outright states he's the grandson of Joseph, son of his second daughter.
The Diego connection is likely going to be a mid-late twist/reveal
He is Gappy’s cousin, who is Holly’s son, who is Joseph’s daughter, who is Johnny’s grandson.
Or losing everything while trying to get it
I’m spending so much of this part going, is Usagi just the goofy comic relief? Secret villain? A troll? A dumbass? The smartest person on the team? Incredibly unlucky? Incredibly lucky?
He is everything.
My little conspiracy theory is that his stand being called "the mattekudasai", on top of being our usual music reference, is a pun. Like The Hand being derived from The Band or Hol Horse's name being a reference to Hall and Oats which still pisses me off.
The mattekudasai --> za mattekudasai --> damattekudasai. Or in English "please shut the fuck up"
Why does the hol horse thing piss you off?
Because it's like a dad joke level pun! (It doesn't seriously piss me off. Just makes me scrunch my face, if you prefer.)
The fact that everyone else is clueless during Meryl Mei’s explanation except for Usagi (who makes an “ah”) implies he’s the smartest person in the gang despite his goofiness
He is also the one with the most "stand knowledge", he seems to be quick to realise when a stand is attacking (which is so refreshing, every JoJo part has way too many "OH MY GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING???? Ah, it's a stand"-moments, like, come on, by fight four, one can expect to expect the unexpected!).
So, I think he is both smart and maybe has a history of working for their boss. She introduced him after all, maybe he is her son and has been doing odd jobs for her since he was a child.
I can see it.
Also, man, his stand is so cute.
The coloured scans arent and wont be able to persuade me that THE MATTEKUDASAI is green and not pink.
They are fake, it’s obviously pink.
I mean, remember when he was explaining the morphology of lava rocks to Paco and Paco got fucking pissed? He’s probably the definition of “book smart, not street smart”
Yeah, he and Paco seem to be on opposite ends of expertise in that regard. Paco seems street smart to me and is functionally the reason Charmingman is even with them right now.
He's a Crackhead. He's anything you want him to be. So long as he gets his fix.
So is he gonna try to become a hardcore Christian while not changing his addictions at all?
That depends on if the J-man Himself returns in Part 9. He’s been in every part of the SBR continuity so far at least briefly, so maybe he left some part of him behind when traveling though Hawaii on his way to first-century America, like maybe the Holy Prepuce or something (I’m only half-joking)
Usagi is just an average member of r/evilautism.
I’m really hoping that he’ll be our first canon example of a character lying about his stand ability to his allies. I don’t think he’s necessarily evil, but I think there’s definitely something fishy about him, and the weird rules around his powers reminds me of Cannola Murollo from Shameless Purple Haze, who lied about how his stand worked and made up fake rules of how to activate it.
Araki: dead. That's what he is lolol
(probably not, but that won't stop the funny)
I think he's this universe Doppio so he's probably evil
Zero brain cells are present between all 5 of them. It's only 14 chapters and I love this gang
They have the combined brain power of Okuyasu
Absentminded
all their IQ is battle IQ
There’s 2 and they’re both Jodio’s
Paco occasionally gets to share one.
Dragona and Paco constantly fight over it
Charmingman's fell in a lava tube with his bro
usagi clearly has a couple rattling around they're just coked up or something
I am SO happy with this gang. Jojolion didn't have a "proper" gang IMO and it also had way too many characters, meaning many didn't get to shine because they distracted from each other. Smaller and more focused character dynamics was part of what made Steel Ball Run so great, so I am having a blast already with this group and I bet they will only get better with time.
New heist begins and already there is trouble for the gang.
I like that Charming Man is really fitting into the group, hard to believe that his first interaction with them involves him trying to knife them.
They couldn’t hold a grudge against Charming Man because his knife skills were so bad.
Imagine being so bad at killing your enemies end up adopting you to their gang
Hello, I am a time traveller from 2030, Charmingman dies to the main villain's stand BIG POPPA because he fails to stab him
Main villain looks like Keanu for the deep cut
My uncle is a time travel too and I want to specify that Charming Man didn't get killed by the stand itself but by his own crappy stabbing "skill".
(No, he doesn't stab himself, he just dies from crappiness overload.)
Real Iroh energy there
Paco is gonna train him and then force him to try killing them again to see what he learned
His stand actually works really well with Smooth Operators as this chapter shows. He can change his looks based on the modified ID that Dragona makes.
It wouldn'd be a JoJo part without one of the enemies became jobros right after trying to murder the main characters
One of my favourite things about this part so far is how smartly the stands are being used for non combat purposes. That Charmingman and Dragona identity theft combo just exemplified that perfectly. Really does feel like the kind of thing that shitkicker teens like them would use these kinds of powers for in daily life.
Yes! I like to see more of "daily use" stands
lol
“No more half measures, Jodio”
Put your lava rock away Waltuh
"I'm not climbin the Mechanism withya right now"
It's MINERALS! God damnit marie!
I'm not showing you the paper documents right now Waltuh
It's been a while since a Breaking Bad reference happened (whether by accident or on purpose), right? There were some in like the first 5 chapters or so and then it stopped
Usagi choking on his vomit might also be a reference
If his dad looks like Jon De Lancie and is an air traffic controller, we are in trouble.
Now all they need is a criminal lawyer
a criminal lawyer
A crooked lawyer character in Jojo would be fire, like a temporary ally during one arc or two
And if there's going to be more breaking bad parallels this might mean involvment with foreign organized crime like the cartels in breaking bad so it might mean the yakuza will get involved.
I am NOT crazy! I know he swapped those rocks!
