I just now realized that Jolyne’s facial drawings look like something you’d see out of the old 80’s-90’s Marvel/DC comics when it comes to female characters:

How does Hirohiko manage to bring back nostalgia from an era where Marvel/DC female characters can actually look both attractive and have a REAL personality beneath the costumes?

She's also Spider-Man, so that's a plus.
That's not a typo, I know what I'm about.
 
Seeing as this is gonna be how Jojolion is gonna end, I'm really bummed out that this is how it'll go out. Not with a bang, but with a mess of unresolved plotlines and an ending that feels just like a puff of air and nothing else.
I haven't read Jojolion fully but hey unlike with other manga if it's bad at least there are the other parts to go back to. Araki really was a genius when making each part a standalone story.
 
I have been reading Jojolion again from start to finish in preparation for Chapter 110 and... It's a way better read when you go through it at your own pace/not through the course of 10 years.

There's less of a gap between relevant plot threads when you don't have to wait half a year for the new big Rokakaka revelation and boring/irrelevant stuff like the Love Love Delux and Milagro Man arcs get over with pretty quickly.

Granted, some of the issues persist. Stinker arcs like Blue Lagoon still suck, but a lot of stuff that I previously found mediocre while reading monthly really shine, like the Summer Vacation arc.

Maybe it'll go on to become a better liked Part in the future, once it's done or once the anime is out in 5-6 years, who knows.

Edit so I don't double post: I gotta say tho, Wonder of You and Endless Calamity have got to be the most uneven final arcs in the entire series. There are some cool moments, but it's so full of retarded drama and asspulls it's almost rage inducing.
"Yasuho, the only way to defeat Tooru is to use Go Beyond, point your fuckin phone at him"
"Should I tho?"
*House gets destroyed*
"Yasuho, point the fucking phone at him!"
"Whaaa? My phone?"
*Joshu dies*
"YASUHO JUST POINT THE FUCKING PHONE!"
She finally does and he gets two shoted into a potato recipee

I hope it turns out to be Speedwagon from AU as his foundation was one of the sponsors of SBR and he never got part 7 art done of him
Flashback Man appeared in ONE panel in like the first 10 chapters of the manga.

Something MUCH bigger and more recent - the flash-forward to the fruit harvest - is all but confirmed to have been completely retconned, and likely HAD been retconned for quite a while (we just never found out about it til now).

At this point, it’s almost certain that Flashback Man is just a deleted/ altered plot point, just like time-traveling Josuke from Part 4 or female Anasui in Part 6.

Time-traveling Josuke was never a thing though since the designs are completely different between him and original Josuke. Plus it would be dumb since the story was set up as Josuke modeled himself after someone who saved his life. It turning out to be he was his own savior would be dumb shit I don't see any manga artist doing unless they're a hack (i.e. Iseyama)
 
Hamon Beat's autism is very annoying at times, but I gotta give the man some props for the dismantlement of the Araki Forgot meme.

Shit was overused and unfunny
Hamon Beat is an entertaining autist because he pretty much exposed how retarded the Jojo fanbase is. Especially when there was that one retard who said Joseph was not even a real Joestar.
 
Is JJBA more popular in America than it was back in Japan? I don’t know much people in North America that like it compared to One Piece, DB/DBZ and Demon Slayer

No way in hell. The west didn't even know what JoJo was until the Capcom game and the OVAs.

It only caught on here when the davidpro anime came around, 2012ish I think.

It has a lot of widespread recognition on the Internet due to the memes, but I think impressions of its popularity in the West are highly skewed by its loud and obnoxious fanbase, which got exponentially bigger, louder and more obnoxious with the Golden Wind anime.

That being said, it’s also not really fair to compare it to One Piece/DBZ/Demon Slayer which will naturally have a wider demographic to appeal to.
 
Apparently there's a Jojo thing happening on the 8th? Probably old news but hopefully we'll get a release date for Part 6.
