The Canceled JoJo Story You Can Never Read

[@HGX2308]

Otsuichi: Oh they're skipping from part 3 to part5 I want to make a novel for part 4 then Part 1 & 2: crying like Esidisi

[@festafunerea]

Maybe Jorge Joestar was already in production (even though it got released in the early 2010s, in the 15th JoJo anniversary)

[@musicisthefoodofthesoul]

I'm glad there's a post part 2 novel for Lisa Lisa though I wish a studio would animate these spinoffs using the black&white doodles araki makes for them omg😩😩 They have simplified round and bold lines and kinda cute, they would suit pastel animations like Scissor Seven

[@gaminganimators7000]

​@@musicisthefoodofthesoulthere's a Lisa Lisa spinoff? Hell yeah

[@sonpanchan]

Yeah those two parts get overlooked the most. Other than the recent Lisa Lisa novel Rey Infinito, the closest you have is Jorge Joestar and Overheaven has Dio talking about his life during Part 1 but it's more of a Part 3 novel. I guess Purple Faze Feedback involves a Stone mask as a macguffin and Demonic Heartbreak's villain is the grandkid of one of Kars' vampires. I also don't mind JJBA doing what-if/elsewhere types of stories. The writers don't have to worry at all about canon and new ideas can be explored.

One of my favorite side pieces of jojo is purple haze feedback and I want it made clear I hated fugo even before he betrayed giorno but when I heard about this I looked into it and it actually made me cry so bravo jojo whether canon or not you always make us feel all the emotions

[@kotzpenner]

Fugo was always a real one

[@playernotfound9489]

mine is jorge joestar

[@johnjoestar2465]

Fugo didn't exactly betray them, he just left the gang

[@legendarycryptid2629]

The hell did Fugo do to get hated?

[@Wxtsername]

@@legendarycryptid2629my thoughts exactly I was like “damn wtf did Fugo do?”

[@NeuroNumattix]

I'm glad Otsuichi was able to complete The Book 4th Another Day. I read it sometime last year as I became hooked on the premise. I won't spoil it for those interested but besides the themes present in Part 4, it also touches on the idea of what "books" mean and how they affect reality and memories. There is even an animatic available for the first few chapters available on youtube.

[@solidskullz5736]

Rest easy Toriyama, because of you manga has exploded in popularity and now we have even more masterpieces to enjoy. Speaking of masterpieces, I never knew about a cancelled Jojo novel. I’m wondering about what it was about and why it was canceled

[@ColonelCorson]

I feel bad for that guy, an artist is always their own harshest critic. Striving for what you perceive as perfection can take a lot out of you. But hey, at least he was able to publish something he was happy with at the end of the day, even if it was a roundabout path.

[@aidenwithani]

I think the idea of Josuke taking someone who doesn't know anything about stands under his wing and teaching him about them just like how Jotaro di is such a sweet idea

[@msbkaioken136]

I find it extremely cool how much araki is willing to let other people have control over Jojo as a franchise. My guy was like I'm not using the Jojo character's freely enough in the work that I'm doing. I truly love how much respect people have to treat these characters well and not completely go off the walls with them, unlike some people in america, unfortunately.

[@MaupPopez]

[@justinn8541akaDrPokemon]

I wonder why it wasn't realsed? I know they said they were unsasitifed with the draft, but that's what editors and the second drafts are for.

[@ProjektTaku]

Because he eventually decided to write The Book: Fourth Another Day instead. Still kinda sad this was completely abandoned tho, got pretty far.

[@McBehrer]

​@@ProjektTaku I mean, it DIDN'T really get abandoned. This WAS the first draft that eventually BECAME Fourth Another Day

[@ProjektTaku]

@@McBehrer still, FAD has nothing to do with this other than being a Part 4 novel with Josuke in it.

[@SB-ex8nt]

II'd love to hear you talk more about the Jojo novels.

[@ogopogoagogo]

I would love to see full on reviews for the JoJo light novels, they are genuinely underrated.

[@benney9908]

toriyama's death feels unreal. i can't remember a time without dragonball. what's even stranger is to feel sad about the death of a person who was in all aspects a complete stranger but yet a central figure in my creative growth. i hope he can rest now and had a good life

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS 😊😊😊😊

[@musicisthefoodofthesoul]

6:27 「The Hustle」😳 6:58 this scene sounds amazing lolll😂❤ I wish he didn't give up and cancel, I didn't read the story yet but it looks so fun i wish he could rewrite the parts he didn't like :( Araki's art is peak also 6:48 jolyne's so badass she bent space and time continuity to pose for this shirt.

Man i Miss toriyama so much, it wasnt too Long ago But im still sad

[@hitkid2456]

Even Takahashi's death still bums me out ngl, so many manga and even SJ heroes have gone now...

[@nico_.esquivel_]

Thank you for making a tribute to Akira Toriyama, the great sensei shaped the way and change the world of animanga forever, so that stories like Jojos and more could come. He changed my life and the life of millions, and I'm so thankful to have grown up with his beautiful work through Dragon Ball. May you rest in peace Akira Toriyama ❤️🫂🕊🐐🐉👑

[@TheAlison1456]

I just read Purple Haze Feedback so it's interesting this video is coming out now. The Illusion frequency plus algorithms plus that one spoilery channel I usually never watch.

[@rock-hv6ns]

that was some nice info with well paced describing script explaining it good video!👍

[@TacticOwlVA]

I would have liked to have seen a full story made of this, however, I can see why it was scrapped as at times it does read like a fan fiction at times. I'll take a look at JoJo: The Book

[@deviousj5868]

FINISH THE STORY. FINISH THE STORY. I want to see Post Part 4 Josuke.

[@xr9790]

I wish they went back to this, or incorporate it into part 9, that investigator sounds dope!

Toriyama-Sensei and Araki-Sensei share the same era, two of the most influential mangaka lives in the same era, isn't that so cool?

[@dylanotto949]

A stand that uses art that ISNT like the power Dio's son used we be really interesting. Maybe the user is either able to travel through paintings or they cab pull objects or weather effects out and have them impact the real world. E.x. using a snowy landscape to make it snow during Summer.

[@pugman9672]

Cannon or not I’ll take as much Josuke as I can get,so kinda sad this was unfinished.

[@devilmaycrysarockingdontcome]

4th another day us my favorite out of the jojo light novels i've read

[@ObiClon]

Shame this was dropped because I would have loved to see how far it would go if it continued

[@TetsuShima]

It's pretty curious that the JoJo novels from the 2000's, like "4th Another Day" and "Gokden Heart, Golden Ring", were about normal people we never saw before interacting with the protagonists of the manga, who appear as mere supporting characters. Truly a bizarre experience

[@cutman15]

The guy getting shot in the head and throat makes me think of Kraftwerks guy in part 5

[@Gyro096]

This is ironic this has sat on my anime list rotting in my read later and I hadn’t actually heard of it

[@cassettecobra3848]

Rest in peace Toriyama...I remember watching Dragon Ball Z Kai in my parents room and played a couple of its games. I even saw a drawing of Super Saiyan 4 Goku in my highschool but with a theme change to match our mascot, Slidell High Tiger. I wasn't the biggest fan of the franchise, more of a fan of One Piece or Jojo but damn would I not say the man has made more impact than any author can hope to surpass with the possible exception of Oda. May he enjoy the afterlife he would envision...

Akira Toriyama will always bebthe greatest. He was the reason i got into anime in the first place. Hearth please ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@musicisthefoodofthesoul]

🖤🖤🥀RIP he has gone so early... doraemon and dragon ball series were two of the first cartoons I've seen on tv when I was like 7-8 years old. at that age I didn't fully understand and memorize what was going on but it was so fun watching these series and smiling when I had a bad day... 😔 The first reason that got me to learn anime and manga and learn other cultures and foods(i loved and still love anime food, i remember discussing if it was chocolate in doraemon's dorayaki with my cousins when i was like 12. This may seem like a small thing but it was happiness of my childhood. RIP to doraemon's mangaka duo too

[@GhettoFabulousLorch]

There's something heartwarming about fans of other manga/anime paying respect to Akira Toriyama even when his work is not directly relevant to their content. It's crazy to think that at one time heavyweights like Toriyama and Araki were contemporaries being published in Shonen Jump at the same time.

It's complete. It's three volumes of manga plus a light novel which includes more stuff that couldn't make it into the manga.

[@GhettoFabulousLorch]

Would be neat if there were more JoJo light novels. They can expand upon each setting but each one can also have more depth, detail, and plot than their manga counterpart.

Rest in Peace, Toriyama Akira-Sensei.
