Jojo's Bizarre Thread ~Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Discussion~

[Shin Chie]

Hi there! This is a thread for any fan of the series Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. This is a discussion from a wide range of things from the series such as: the Manga, Anime, Games, etc. For those unfamiliar with the series. Here's a little summary of the first six parts for anyone who's not too familiar.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is a Shonen Jump series (Now in Ultra Jump as of 2004) made by Hirohiko Araki. The story follows the Joestar family in their many adventures.

Spoiler

Part 1: Phantom Blood

Summary: The story follows Jonathan Joestar's struggle with his adoptive brother, Dio Brando. After Dio turns into a vampire after retrieving the Stone Mask, it is up to Jonathan, using Hamon, to stop Dio.

Spoiler

Part 2: Battle Tendency

Summary: In 1939 the grandson of Jonathan, Joseph Joestar, must fight the creators of the Stone Mask known as the pillar men. These three men, Esidisi, Whamuu, and Kars must be stopped with the power of Hamon.

Spoiler

It is up to the great grandson of Jonathan, Jotaro Kujo, and the other main characters Joseph Joestar, Mohammad Avdol, Noriaki Kakyoin, Jean Pierre Polneraff, and Iggy to stop Dio on this long journey from Tokyo to Cairo, Egypt. This part also introduces the new power, stands.

I will update this with the other parts tomorrow!

WARNING FOR NEWCOMERS TO THE SERIES: Obviously since this is a discussion, it will contain spoilers of what happens in the series. Keep in mind, if you don't want to be spoiled, be careful when reading posts.

So, since we're getting close to this in the anime, we might as well talk about the Vanilla Ice and Dio fights in part 3

 

[finalark]

I've only seen/read what's come out in the US, but I'm started reading fan translations of part 4. Really hoping the anime doesn't stop at part 3, because that would be a disappointingly weak note to end on IMO.

Same here. Part 4 is really good lol. It's my favorite part. I think since Stardust Crusaders is doing pretty well in sales, part 4 will most likely be made.

 

[soju]

I'm waiting for my boy Johnny to cripple up the scene

 

[Knight Dude]

I'm fairly new to the series myself. But I do like it so far. I've only watched up until early Part 3, like before they fight the Ape. Not sure who's my favorite character aside from Speedwagon and Dio.

That said, I've heard a lot of good things about part 4 with Josuke. So I might read that if I can when I'm done watching Part 3.

Oh cool! Nice to have a newcomer to the series!

 

[soju]

I can only hope that they continue after part 3, I've been reading it since the OVA came out and this is a big walk down memory lane for me.

Relevant to Friday's episode:

 

[KittyKyat]

I'm getting sooo obsessed with this series.

Already on Part 7, it's soooo goood.

 

[Shin Chie]

Relevant to Friday's episode:

I can't wait to see more of how they animated the Dio fight!

 

[KittyKyat]

I can't wait to see more of how they animated the Dio fight!

Speaking of which, I should really catch up with the anime after I finish Part 7. I want to see Dio's World animated, damn it!

Gyro for best character

 

[soju]

haha thats how a lot of people are, i wont spoil much but lets just say the character development in that story is the reason why it's my favorite, there really isn't a character that I hate in part 7 and many characters I love

 

[Waluigi is too big]

I'm naming my pac-man amiibo The World

Well, I just finished part 7.

Oh my god, I literally cried near the end for multiple reasons. ;-;

 

[soju]

It's an epic arc. And a nice change of pace from the normal jojo formula

 

[finalark]

So, now that the Stardust Crusaders anime is over do we know if we're going to get an adaptation of part 4?

We don't know officially. But it all depends on the blu-ray sales. So far, SC is selling pretty well. We'll most likely be getting one I think.

 

[Mansta]

I find it kind of sad that we'll probably be at part 9 or the end of part 8 by the time part 6 is getting animated. Glad to see there's a Jojo thread around here.

Yeah same here. I can't wait to see what part 9 will be though.

 

[soju]

I'm going to assume that going up to part 6 is their plan, since they showed all of them in phantom bloods opening. If that is true then I'll be a bit depressed as my boy Johnny Joestar in all his crippledness wont be animated. :[

 

[Desert Croc]

I'm currently up to Part 3. I am waiting for the following parts to be animated in the meantime but in case they don't, is reading the manga sufficient?

 

[soju]

Reading the manga is more than sufficient haha, its just a great series in general

 

[finalark]

Yes, reading the source material is a good idea.

 

[Shin Chie]

Yeah, the manga is really great to read.

 

[Knight Dude]

So I'm decently into part 4 now. I made it up to a certain point before taking a break. Suffice to say I really like it actually. About as much as Part 3. I think that's because each of those parts have a strong team dynamic, so there's always more than 2 or 3 characters to get attached to.

Spoiler

The part I read up to is when Koichi unlocked in his inner Gohan again and used Act 3 on Kira and ****ed up his arm. Then Jotaro handed Kira's ass to him on a silver platter. He then killed the Cinderella lady and made his face look like that other business man.

 

[Desert Croc]

I'm up to Steel Ball Run and the one thing I've noticed the most is that the art style has changed a lot.

 

[soju]

The series has been going on for so long that it's inevitable for Araki's artstyle to develop and change, I appreciate both styles personally and seeing the transition from the beginning to the end is pretty dope.

Also soccer dad Kira is too good for the likes of Josuke and the Morioh Mystery Gang.
