Shounen JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by Araki Hirohiko

[Zehahaha]

Lol sure, I'll remember to quote this post later on when Araki clarifies a situation he went out of his way to make into something for the reader to wonder about.

This, you never know with Araki

 

[Demonspeed]

That scene with the cop was a typical "trap reveal" one. If there is some twist later we'll see but for now I am taking things as they are.

Anyway, I was wondering. Since Jodio said near the end that your roles are determined by your age then normally Paco should be the leader, right? Even though he doesn't seem to have much authority.

 

[HereNThere]

I do wonder what Araki is doing with Dragona's gender. Are they just an extremely femme presenting guy, or is Jodio misgendering them because he's a dumb kid? Or is Dragona the non-binary icon we need?

I'm assuming the next few chapters will give us a clearer picture. Assuming it's handled correctly, it'd be interesting if Jodio is just that naive or self centered to not realize that Dragona is transitioning. Otherwise, it does seem like Dragona is a femme dude who's also had cosmetic surgery at the moment.

New chapter


WTF

 

[Demonspeed]

Wow, SBR-verse Rohan? And he looks just the same as the original.

The Matte Kudasai is a cool Stand.

Chapter out

 

[Demonspeed]

A cat with a Stone Free-like ability?

Unsurprisingly Rohan is also a Stand User but the way he is talking makes me think he might not be aware of his abilities.

Chapter 4.

Rohan defeating all of them with ease. This one also has Heaven's Door.

Unlike the original one though, he seems to have other goals besides writing manga.

I think it was obvious

He rarely uses the same Stand for AU characters. I think it was only the case for the other Diego Brando in SBR.

Chapter 5.

This Rohan is a lot less eccentric than the DiU one. Jodio's group managed to escape and he kept the Lava Rock which is apparently very special.

Now they are being hunted by cat...

Could it be the remnants of Rock Humans or something?

 

[Franz]

I hope Rohan's role isn't limited to just that.

 

[Demonspeed]

He said they'll meet again and it's Rohan after all so he'll be more relevant later. Maybe as Jodio's mentor?

Favorite theory I saw: the American government threw Jesus's corpse into a Hawaiian volcano, those rocks contain the holy corpse "fortune".

Now that I'm reading that back, Part 9 is *incredibly* on point for JoJo so far.

Would be fun if Rohan somehow survived the universe reboot thanks to his stand

We can officially rule out it being the same Rohan. He'd have had a noticeable reaction to reading Dragona's book, what with the Joestar-ness.

 

[Demonspeed]

Yeah this Rohan is way too chill.

Hasn't eaten nearly enough spiders so far.

Chapter 6.

Usagi ran away with everything . So it's not just one cat but three?

Chapter 7.

Usagi came back after all.

I love how utterly allergic Araki is to drawing butts correctly. Dude spent a year flexing on the entire illustration industry with his insane preparations for drawing thousands of horses in SBR, but seemingly didn't take 20 minutes to contemplate the myriad butts that'd be present for JJL

 

[Demonspeed]

I am starting to really like Usagi.

Interesting how we got the reminder that Jodio will become filthy rich when they are learning the mechanics together .
