This changes EVERYTHING about Jojolion

[@nooonchalanttt]

NO ANYTHING EXPECT THE LARGE FRIES SONG😭💔

[@SyrupDoesAlot]

I was reading JoJolion a few days ago and noticed that Josefumi's phone said "Josephumi" and I thought it was cool to think of Josuke as a mix of Josuke, Joseph, Jotaro and Kira all fused togther

[@Luigi_Luigi2401]

4:30 they actually had to ask araki if he meant that he doesn't like chicken or if they're out of stock

[@Jojodoss]

Ah interesting

[@Luigi_Luigi2401]

@@Jojodoss the problem with japanese is that it is mostly based on context so the original line in Japanese would roughly translate to something like "Large sized fries are liked (by me) but as for fried chicken, not (available/ liked)" so the translators thought that he didn't like them because he expressed how he loves fries and then said but

[@Pinnaporaptor]

This is pretty interesting, I do enjoy translation stuff. WoU drops hard lines and it's nice to see the Large Fries song as intended. Josefumi to Josephmi is alright I think, as you've mentioned, people would probably stick with the original pronunciation/name until other official stuff starts rolling out later down the line, especially considering that is pretty much the name we've gotten used to haha.

[@TeachMeBert]

*(**1:53** - **2:10**)* Tell me about it. For some ungodly reason, people _still_ refuse to stop calling Bucciarati "Buccellati" despite _every_ piece of official merchandise, the official manga translation, the anime, and the video games _all_ using "Bucciarati".

[@thewolf2213]

I guess it's because his name comes from buccellati. It's like people calling Versus "Versace" because that's the reference. I call him Bucciarati though

[@vandagylon2885]

​@@thewolf2213versus is a brand by Versace

[@Dezsr]

avoiding copyright i guess

[@lordfreezer5631]

Because "Bucciarati" is just the result of the japanese pronunciation of the name Buccellati. And since he is italian, Buccellati makes more sense. Using Bucciarati is like using Za Warudo instead of The World. But I call him Bucciarati too because I'm too much used to it now

[@TeachMeBert]

Except that, like I said, every single piece of official _JoJo's_ media calls him "Bucciarati", not "Buccellati". Even Japanese figures and artbooks have his name written as "Bucciarati" in English letters. Also, if Araki had ever intended for the character's name to be interpreted as "Buccellati", then he would have actually written the character's name in Japanese as ブッチェッラティ (Buccherrati) or something, which he _never_ has. Evidence for "Bucciarati" being the correct name: The way the character's name is written in Japanese (ブチャラティ _Bucharati)_ "Bucciarati" being used in official media and merchandise Evidence for "Buccellati" being the correct name: Stubborn fans with no reading comprehension

[@coolshockbt]

I liked Tsurugi's pun when he talked about mushrooms. In the new book, he says, "Do you know their hit songs, my friend? Weeeee are the chaaampignons". The translator is for sure a jojo fan

[@coolshockbt]

Also, I think Josephmi sounds great 😂😅

[@cupoftea3499]

I mean, his name was canonically written down. On the back of his phone it has it bedazzled as "Josephmi." This isn't something that this book has done or that is a weird mistranslation, araki fully intended for him to be called "Josephmi"

[@HayatoStarGod]

Yeah Also, isn't "Kaato" meant to be written with a "C" since her ring has "N to C" written on it ?

[@cupoftea3499]

@@HayatoStarGod yeah, because her name is card

[@pacotaco1246]

I will never emotionally recover from this

[@KuribohKujo]

The reason people put an extra vow in Japanese names is to kinda tell you how to pronounce it. Flashback man has many wonders. He makes me wonder....

[@BroMomento69]

josephme is now my favorite jojolion character!!!

[@sakanamichan3714]

Iirc, part of the Holly/Holy issue came from Holly mentioning that her Japanese name is “seiko,” or “holy child.” And this is her Japanese name, as in, it’s the name Holly chose for herself while living in Japan with her husband, speaking Japanese, doing paperwork, etc. So Holy makes sense as a literal translation, but we don’t really use Holy as a name in English.

[@electricburst0986]

Bro sounds like some element from the periodic table💀

[@halffontaine6295]

you sounded so sad saying josephmi lol

[@lodestar27]

The other translation I found interesting was that “Jojodoss” can be translated as “GigachadJojodoss”. I think I’ll still use “Jojodoss”since that’s what I’m used to, but it’s nice to see the emphasis on how much of a gigachad he is. As a fried chicken enjoyer, I’m glad to see Josuke is an enjoyer too, but sad to hear that they’re out of fried chicken

[@FlancitoConCebolla]

Does this means Joseph's nickname is Phmi-kun?? 😨

[@TheEcoolarg]

I wouldn´t worry about extended material content, specially when is a book about learning english...badly

[@Davinator12]

Im glad someone covered the book

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

Im sorry, but Josefumi is going is going to be forgotten memory like Toru with 2 Os and Kyo

[@thespookylocker]

I'm reading? What the fuck, is the funniest unintentional joke of the entire series

[@corrinflakes9659]

TBH if there is one name I will prefer the localization of, it is “Thoth” instead of “Tohth”. I will use anything else in its original form, but Tohth's moved over ‘h’ honestly feels like a typo.

[@vOrbZv]

Japanese dialect and script be like that tho

[@Jojodoss]

Indeed indeed

[@SyrupDoesAlot]

2:48 I hate when people call her "Holy" when its spelled and pronounced as Holly

[@HayatoStarGod]

It's not pronounced the same ? (Asking because English is not my first language)

[@lodestar27]

@@HayatoStarGod In English we would usually pronounce holly as “h-olly”. We would pronounce holy as “ho-lee”. Holly is a traditional name here in the US, but “holy” is a word that we use to describe something sacred or divine.

[@SyrupDoesAlot]

@@HayatoStarGod No, Holy is pronounced as "Ho-lee" and Holly is "Hall- lee"

[@lordfreezer5631]

Also the fact that Holly is an actual name meanwhile holy is just a word

2:17 I like to say josuk8 to make it clear which Josuke I'm talking about also, I certainly know nobody cares about this, just saying it

[@Jojodoss]

What do you say when speaking though? Josuke-eight?

[@kingerdinger]

yes

[@treffthehollowknightplayer8076]

[@lordfreezer5631]

So if Josephmi is the right spelling, Part 9 Joseph's nickname isn't Fumi but Phmi?

[@Jojodoss]

You actually being up a great point, can't wait to find out in 10 years!

[@Benito675]

Instead of Joseph-mi Id just pronounce his name Josephemi

[@eddie5680]

I still prefer Tooru over Toru

do you also prefer Jootaroo Joosuke Jooshuu nvm

Why not just refer to part 8 josuke as gappy? Its his nickname.

i was given by the community not by araki

Thanks for clarifying that.

Hat Josuke is the better nickname. It was given to him by litterally speedwagon.
