What I hate about Jojo's bizarre adventure.

[@bung9094]

I think the reason why Araki doesn't like bringing in old characters for new roles is because there's objectively more potential in an entirely new character. It also allows more creative freedom in general, which is something i think a lot of creative people would prefer having.

[@khulekanimagubane9153]

I agree. And even though I love Jotaro Kujo, even his returns in DIU, early GW and SO felt a bit like publisher concessions. Araki strikes me as someone who always wants to do something new rather than be held captive by even his past successes.

[@corrinflakes9659]

Yeah, I can agree too. Sometimes you explored as much of a character as you wished to do, plus in cases these retread an old character’s archetype in a new character, it might be to improve upon the shortcomings. Hot take, while Ermes Costello was very similar to Jean-Pierre Polnareff, she’s a refined version.

3:08 I personally feel like even Part 3 Did can be completely excluded from that list. While surely he does only appear very very lately in the part, we still know him and his character fairly well from Part 1. And he technically didn't change that drastically between the parts to an extent where Dio Brando and DIO are two entirely separate entities.

Something I really hate and I realized while reading the Wonder of you Pursuit arc is how there's no social or legal impact in the show for anything, like they would beat somebody or shoot someone in front of a group of people or even cops and 2 scenes later they're walking normal like nothing happened, nobody cares. In the Wonder of you arc they got arrested for like 3 panels I think and then nothing, cops forgot like GTA cops. I understand that it would be stupid for the story to be hiding from cops all the time and that way we focus only on what matters but it feels so stupid at the same time that there are no rules. I'm not a huge fan of One Piece but I gotta say at least they do that way better than JoJo

[@legendary8879]

What do you mean? In the Wonder of u the only time they do something criminal in públic is at the start of it, and then they get arrested, josuke is extremelly harmed so they have to send him to the hospital, he stays in the hospital for the entire Arc so there's no reason for them to look for him. Mamezuki scapes with his stand and dies like 2 hours later, só off course they didn't appear.

[@zalabit927]

​@@legendary8879 Also i think Tooru did testify for Josuke about the guy with the broken neck. Yeah he's the villain, but i can see him do it just to make appearances with Yasuho.

[@corrinflakes9659]

I thought about the idea of a Steel Ball Run game that progresses like Supergiant’s Pyre, where failing a leg doesn’t mean a game over, in this case only death does. And the player character can input a personality test to determine a Stand also 7th Stand User, but getting to encounter a corpse part isn’t guaranteed. You can learn the Spin to make up for awaiting finding a Stand as a reliable basis. And the player can get involved in canon encounters if the date and location line up, but the whereabouts aren’t explicitly told, only the stage checkpoints are pinned on the map. Also, yes, beating Diego and the other racers is possible, but should be a big challenge to plan over the course of a game. The game can have a survival/sports tag, might be the most unique tag an anime game could have.

Pucci was the best with building up and re-occurring. I think Diavolo was handled pretty well, actually in that regard. He didn't show up for half of it, but there was actually a reason since so much mystery was built around him with the group working for him. Plus, I love how he fights a "minor villain." I love it when two people outside of our main characters fight.

[@STPstudio47]

What I hate about jjba is that every episode has to be a fight. I just wish we had a few episodes with characters just talking, travelling etc. The best example of this was the sun episode from stardust crusaders. At first I thought we were just seeing how the heat and desert affects our characters, and that the "enemy" is the environment itself. Seeing that the sun was a stand and that guys were laughing just because of the two rocks was really disappointing.

I agree with the point about the western manga releases !

4:18- I agree. Instead of making them an obstacle with one quirk that makes them memorable explore their past to show how sympathetic and/or truly rotten their ideology is to better understand them as the opposite of the hero by showing outside of being associated with the heroes, how they react to others and how they deal with problems personally.

[@oclictis1]

"Why not do something?" Author: "I don't want to" "Full hate" Really? What more justification does an author need than "It's not what I want to do with my story"? The point of jojo is that the torch gets passed, I'm glad araki doesn't reiterate past characters to an excessive degree

3:37- that's what I agree with as well- DIO has all the prep time in the entire part- yet still gets flabbergasted and outwitted with his defeat despite the thrilling fight being very undignified. Perhaps DIO shows up in the mid-part of the story, but has to leave- with the remaining story getting payback. As for Diavolo- instead of Rolling Stones, do a sudden Araki ex Machina where he somehow gets the Arrow, leading to a proper final battle, maybe Mista is killed because Diavolo shenanigans involving the number 4 and the story wrapping up with a much more epic conclusion. Maybe even getting clarity of what Diavolo actually is by proxy. And as for Tooru, maybe having him a recurring sitcom antagonist "unintentionally" to Gappy by being a flirt to Yasuho yet helpful to the heroes while gradually giving hints of his true nature, which makes the revelation hit all the harder when it turns out how evil he is- making the conflict that more personal. Or go with Jobin who already has a villain arc gradually leading to antagonism.

17:09 In my case, what really pisses me off the jojo videogames is all star battle r new roster: most of them are ported from eyes of heaven, so shouldn't count as "new", in the base game the only parts that got actual new characters were part 5 and 6. The DLC added too few characters, with two of them being from EoH and two being part 4 characters no one asked for and meanwhile part 8, which need the most amount of characters the most only got one at the end...

[@Bennjye]

How would the world feel more lively with random people from Egypt ending up in Japan and then in Italy?

[@woomyboy98]

6:00 I get why he wouldn't want to keep bring back more followers of Dio for example or a ton of old stands and their users. It doesn't really allow for the interesting stand battle and introduction of new abilities. When an enemy is introduced the fight begins as kinda a mystery into what their ability is, how it works and then how to overcome it. Reusing an old stand cuts out those 1st steps because the audience already knows how the stand works. A great example of this is Boingo and Tohth in part 3. After his introduction you understand that him and who ever he's working with will mess up an interpretation of Tohth and then lose the battle. When Hol Horse & Boingo work together you pretty much already know Hol Horse is gonna mess up but youre just waiting for when. While I personally enjoy their time as a duo I can how that would be boring to write. Especially when instead you can write about a brand new stand ability and user with unique quirks that challenges our heros. When a stand user comes back for a rematch it kinda ruins the feeling of "This guy could be unbeatable" as you wonder how his opponent is gonna beat him.

[@MagmaMKII]

The big problem of part 8 is that all those characters are there, but we don't actually see much of them, we don't really see them interacting much and they don't even get a chance to do useful stuff. The story just tells us they're there and that's it. Like, Daiya gets a short arc then is gone for the rest of the manga. Hato kills one villain and is gone for the rest of the manga too. Norisuke appears for a bit earlier on and helps in one fight and then is gone for the rest of the manga. Joshu gets a filler arc for himself but only appears outside of that to be an annoyance. Kato is introduced and quickly forgotten until the very end where she suddenly shows up again just to die.

[@lambda1863]

@MagmaMKII I agree I personally think Joshu should have been with Josuke and Yasuho instead of the plant guy. Joshu had an arc in shakedown where he started to act nice to Josuke then at the end he's like "fuck josuke" like that should have been expanded upon

[@geschnitztekiste4111]

Yes it's a shame that so many characters are underused, but at the same time, by making new characters instead, Araki opens the door for even more characters that can be used in supplementary material like Purple Haze feedback or even fan works. Like, JoJo wouldn't even have half as many characters if they were frequently being reused and I love the series' sheer number of character designs and colorful personalities. Even those minor villains have their fans, La Squadra for example is pretty universally loved even though they don't really reappear after their one fights. And sure, seeing them fleshed out more would be good but then we probably wouldn't have some other beloved minor characters. A lesser author and character designer would struggle to make them unique enough to stand out, but Araki has the skills and talent to make every throwaway character memorable to some people and that is absolutely a strength, even though it sacrifices a more traditional way of worldbuilding.

And I wasn't even talking about the price, if you want to buy the normal cover is around 50 reais (would be around 10 dollars if just converting, 50 reais is really expensive especially because this the price of a single volume) and if you want to buy the hard cover is 110 reais (not a actual comparison buy imagine paying 110 bucks for a volume because the cover is harder)

Obviously im not saying what im about to say to try and change ur mind but dont you think that some villians work better with them being shown at the end but with tad bits of info on them, eg dio was hardly shown caz we knew him from p1 and seeing him less in p3 added to this anticipation of an old character we loved but also potential upgrades to him, with diavolo it felt more important to have him at the end as seeing him during gw would have made his presence slightly less important (seeing as his the end goal), tooru had a semi presence as he was meant represented in flow, rock humans etc(although i understand how you wouldn't enjoy it as much) but basically i feel that we all have different ops obviously but let's not forget that these villians aren't necessarily bad for not showing up all the time or early on its merely a different way of presenting a story and villain.but then again we are different and i personally prefer an array of view points on a villian rather than the standard (mind im not saying the standard is bad) and yes sometimes the villain can be written badly when showed later but there's more so the villain colliding with the structural integrity of the plot.

It's genuinely so scuffed that videogames always ignore the idea of Stand Users seeing the unawakened Hermit Purple as referenced by Araki at one point.(Heck, the anime adaptation of BT put a cameo of the stand in the opening, it is not like the idea is entirely forgotten across the franchise) There is some writingpotential there, yet the newest games with significant dialogue just didn't take it. Instead they decided to reference Jorge Joestar of all things. And well, some more minor ones: -Part 6 connects to its preceeding parts the least, instead going all the way back to part 3 to continue that whole conflict with the next generation without many extras. It is like if Part 4 suddenly decided to pick up major continuity with Part 1 while only paying cameo-service to parts 2 and 3. 5 didn't have the *biggest* connection to 4, but the short prologue quest of Koichi and Jotaro investigating Giorno is a lot more than we get moving from 5 to 6. And it is not like Araki just stopped tying new parts to older ones, because Part 8 very clearly establishes its ties to Part 7. -We should have gotten the other DiU live action movies. It is genuinely sad looking at the "Chapter 1" in the title of the first one, because there just ain't anything else. -Videogames should either be part specific again or not be afraid to go fully original interms of writing. The end of Eyes of Heaven effectively ripping off Part 3's ending(which is literally in the game already, mind you) was pretty disappointing. 7:24 Part 1 has a lot of diffrences indeed. And tbh, it is a 50/50 if the anime resonates with someone or not. While I actually prefer the changed scene-order at the beginning of it, the first episode has genuinely poor pacing because it skips around the entire time...because they pushed the entire prologue and "Dio the Invader"-part of the plot into a singular episode instead of just making it two. It got me on the brink of dropping out, but luckily the rest of it afterwards hooked me a lot more. And well, the whole "sanding down"-thing you mentioned. A relatively big character change was part of it, which some people will like and others hate. Jonathan had a lot more rough edges in the early manga that were removed in the anime, presumably to correspond to how his legacy across the series would later become being a paragon of justice that effectively cursed evil to have to deal with his descendants in the future. 10:40 Viz continues to give manga readers a headache. I'm not really a manga reader myself, but I have certainly seen them do some damage in the past(Looking at you, english Yu-gi-oh manga translation.), so this does not surprise me at all.

I got into jojo's with the video games.I got all star battle r and thought it was cool, so I started watching the anime,it was really easy for me to get into jojo's because I liked the art style alot.I personally think the video games are good,I just wish there were more of them I would really like a game that is like aot freedom war(it's a game on roblox) :) where you and other people can play as the group in the corresponding part , if you die you have to you go back in the menu and try with another group of people, who ever is left alive will win idk but something cool. For example let's say fugo and mista are the only ones left alive and win, they get a cut scene of them walking away or doing something cool.That would be a cool game idea. :) (EDIT) from the smiley face to the one on the end is talking about the game idea not the aot game I mentioned because it looks like I'm talking about the aot game

TOO LONG

[@spring6641]

honestly video game wise i wish we had a game a bit like eyes of heaven in term of environment and movement ability in 3d space but at the same time having a bigger move poll like All Star Battle

[@TreeckoDX64]

14:24 actually (☝️🤓) we do have the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan Live-Action miniseries + the Rohan at the Louvre adaptation, which is movie lenght and it's considered a actual movie, not that make much of a difference for the JoJo movie scene as a whole

Crazy how you have to torrent too watch it😭

[@TreeckoDX64]

@@METAsMETAs true, the fact that this type of stuff don't come to the west makes my blood boil 😓. At least Netflix brought the OVA's and even dubbed for a lot of languages, but it's such a wasted potential that the Live-Action series is stuck at Japan, especially when Doramas where on a rise in some countries, like here in Brazil

Dio assault someone in the show Cooks a dog. Posions his adoptive father. Burns his home down Tries to kill his dad. "It does show why hes is a psychopath" i read and watched it that definitely sounds like a her problem

[@METAsMETAs]

Naw this a problem a lot of peeps have. The anime cut to much that needed to be shown not left for the audience to make up.

[@UnlikeRelic]

I get that. I do but it does show that he's a psychopath with no issue. No misconception that he might be anything other then that

[@METAsMETAs]

@@UnlikeRelic he is a villain, she got that and many others. but the manga shows him being a "real monster", the anime did not. presentation is key here for his type of villain show it all, don't cut away.

[@lordraiden7397]

Can we talk about how wonder of U's power set sounds boring in terms of power escalation? Instrad of anything clever or different its basically "YOU THINK ABOUT ME! DIE!" and the only way josuke even conquered him was supposedly not existing. The power creep is bad. I also dislike how stands requring a whole psychosis thesis for its abilities to be understood. Its one thing to make a small concept interesting, its another to just make it conplicated for no reason. It drags.

Araki has admitted himself that when making Stardust Crusaders, he was following shonen trends closely and that's why we never got a chapter's worth of Kakyoin's backstory. It never fails to piss me off when I remember it.

[@nintenbro6433]

Adding onto the complaint about not having a lot of Jojo fighting games, can we please NORMALIZE have an English dub option for said game, PLEEEASE! I've been wanting that since ASB on the ps3, I just wanna hear my boi Patrick Seitz to FINALLY get his chance to WRRRYYYYYYY for the first time!! Also hearing an English Josuke again would be nice, I know Billy Kametz is gone but I really want his legacy of being Josuke to live on through a new successor in stuff like video games, we got an amazing new Frieza when Kakarot came out and I want Josuke to get a similarly amazing voice actor.

Okay but an open world Jojo game would be amazing!

[@GDTril]

The only point I disagree with here is the not adding old characters in new parts. I like that each part has a new cast and entirely separate plot lines. We already have seen the stories of the old cast so then it’s time to move on to the new cast. This is a thing about jojo that I love that is also shared with something else I really like, Persona. I think that if jojo were connected it would make the series worse because we don’t need to further develop older characters, that just further complicates conversations on a part by part basis and makes each part less individual. Plus, it’s a perfectly valid reason for Araki to not do it just because he doesn’t want to. After all, it’s the story he wants to tell, characters he wants to make. I’d rather he come up with his ideas than discard them for further development of already fine characters
