His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
Which part are you on? Part 4?

If you're on Part 1, it's usually considered to be one of the worst ones (anime and manga). Shortest too, though, so you won't have to wait long to get to the glory that is Battle Tendency.
I don't get why part 1 gets so much hate. Its has loveable characters (Jonathan, Dio, Zappelli, Speedwagon and stuff) and a easily understandable storyline.
I don't hate part 1 at all tbh. It's got an endearing story, and I still kind of miss hamon powers.

I think it's mostly just a matter of the others being improvements over it, especially Part 2.

Most of them are colored by, except for part of Part 5, but that's underway

#2
It is really easy to tell what's going on, you blind fuck

its just part of the "being a massive edgelord" thing. he lets prejudice guide his experience and will never be truly open to some forms of creative expression. should we be surprised that someone as mentally ill as verb has this problem

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
Not gonna lie, all the crazy Stands are the only thing JoJo really has going for it. Araki's pulling bullshit out his ass left and right, but it's awesome bullshit, so I can deal.
What kind of bullshit are you talking about?

Well, Araki never expected to get past Stardust Crusaders, so DiU and after were basically made up as he went. That's why Yoshikage Kira and Diavolo don't appear until halfway through their respective parts. The plot, threadbare as it is, is only really there to railroad the protagonists from one Stand battle to the next. Instead of the conflict driving the plot, the plot drives the conflict.

So instead of writing a complex story with deep character interaction and development, Araki just says to himself, "wouldn't it be cool if they fought dinosaurs/tiny soldiers/invisible zombies/a pedophile ape that controls a boat/a radio tower?"

Yes it would, but that's bullshit. Awesome bullshit, but still bullshit.

But I believe it.

Part 4 is easily the worst imo.
It's incredibly uninteresting and lacks a lot of the style the previous three parts had.

It's one of my favorite looking parts of the manga; Araki started drawing something with a semblance of anatomy and people don't have intense same-face yet.

And small-town scooby gang is fun. Tonio and Shigechi wouldn't have worked right in any other situation, and I'm glad we got Part 4 if only for them.

Well, of course you know what's going on. You've read it, apparently.

Do you know how fucking shit your logic is right now

Of course if you jump right into the middle of something you dont know what the fuck is happening

And, for the record, I haven't gotten to part 8, which is where the third picture is from, and I can clearly tell it's the work of some sort of enemy stand.

i can't understand it when you have a clusterfuck of shit all happening on a single page, with characters in weird fucking poses for no reason, haphazardly-placed amorphous objects, and uninterpretable motion lines all clashing together like you just carelessly spilled them all over the page

, with characters in weird fucking poses for no reason,

jjba in a nutshell


but really

Do you just not read black and white comics/manga usually? This stuff is pretty common, and like I said, most of it is colored by now so people who cant understand it can do that

I guess another thing that factors into it is the stands and if you dont know how they work you'll be lost when someone posts a random picture


I dont really know how to word this, but if you got a random few second clip from a movie you sidnt know about I bet you $200 you wouldn't know what was going on

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the shitlord scripture the Bhagavad Reeeeeeeta; Kek is trying to persuade the prince that he should save his people, and to impress him takes on his frog-headed form, and says, "Now I am become meme, the destroyer of cucks." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.

But I believe it.
I see it as Araki wanting a break from writing a multi part saga spanning several decades. The first three parts are technically a trilogy culminating in Egypt, so it makes sense for him to just say "Fuck it, let's do something fun for a while". Especially since he pulls a hitchhiker and makes part six his "trilogy in 4 parts".

But I have seen it? Just because I didn't care to watch the entire thing from start to finish doesn't mean I haven't seen it.

I don't feel like it'd be fair to include the other parts since I saw the anime instead of reading the manga
