Like Josuke*

It makes sense really, the dude is like 80-odd by the time Diamond Is Unbreakable rolls around. He got a better deal than most JoJo's who get killed before they even hit 30.

Plus he's a lazy cunt. I'm sure if he kept his Hamon training up he would've been the Joseph we know and love, but once there were no ancient threats around, he went back to being the same old slacker he always was

>>137206430
Even with Hamon you only get so far look at Straits.

joseph is very old in Part 4

Is Joseph actually a bumbling old retard in Part 4? I haven't re-read it in years but I thought it was very heavily implied that his fragility and senility in Diamond Is Unbreakable was a ruse he was putting up so that he didn't have to deal with Suzie Q, Jotaro and Josuke giving him shit about his infidelity, until he drops the act later on during the chapters with that invisible baby

I could just be remembering wrong though

Too many jojos, that's why
Gotta make some irrelevant

>part 3
>Joseph went from what he was in part 2 to a walking joke
>not even just sometimes slow, straight up shown to be slower than everyone else repeatedly as main focus of a scene

Not that I care much, part 3 was the beginning of the end anyway. Part 1 and 2 are best JoJo, fuck the rest and fuck the stupid ass art style of 3+.

How come he's not a vampire, though? Did the machines they use to transfuse blood from Dio's corpse completely separate normal blood from vampire blood? Fucking Speedwagon Foundation, man

>>137206867
I don't remember it being heavily implied, but it does make sense and would be really funny if it was true.

I bet you want Hamon to come back too, don't you?

>>137207219
If we even assume that getting vampire blood makes you turn (I believe you have to receive the vampire essence, not just the blood), Vanilla Ice only turned into a vampire once he received a killshot from Polnareff (sword straight through the head), so either Joseph never becomes a vampire, or he does once he dies.

>>137207323
I'd rather they come up with something better, but yes rather have hamon than ghost pokemon.

>>137205312
Joseph is by far the luckiest JoJo ever. He protected his family, even managed to get a steady relationship despite cheating on his wife. Became rich, spent time with his descendants etc. Jonathan and his son got nothing compared to him.

Then you're definitely missing the fuck out, because they've pretty much done away entirely with the whole punch-ghost aspect of Stands. The new universe Stands are basically just a cool visual representation of the characters' superpowers, they don't directly go into conflict with each other or anything

Pic related for example, Ringo's power is just the ability to rewind time by 6 seconds. The Stand does nothing except look cool

>>137207720
>whole punch-ghost
the fuck? there weren't even that many to begin with. what about all those bullshit early stands that were just control of a vehicle or some shit?

If you think about that, the Hamon isn't that different to the Stands: is a supernatural power whose usefulness in battle depends on the user's wits. But the Hamon was kinda limited and by the time of Kars' fight there wasn't very much to do with it, or not without introducing Dragon Ball-esque powerlevels. Meanwhile the Stands have certain rules they need to abide to, but that's it. A Stand can have any power the author can imagine.
I think people miss the Hamon because Joseph, the best and last user we saw in the series, was incredibly charismatic.
I'm sure that, if Jotaro was part 2's main and Joseph part 3's main no one would complain about "magical pokemon" that much.

>>137205312
i think that's the point of him in part 4, Joseph got the best deal out of all the jojos but age does make you pay the price of losing yourself to senility, is kinda of heart breaking to see such cunning young man become such inoffensive old man (it hit me especially hard because my grandpa went through a similar change) but it also speak of how much he endured too.

>>137205312
joseph had a disco rave stand battle inside his brain, and then he was dead with all his blood drained out for like half an hour
he's lucky to be functioning at all

>>137211142
I wonder if he was alive at the time of Pucci's spacetime shenanigans or if he died of old age before that.

>>137205312
Did GER let Giorno survive part 6?

>>137211115
People don't actually pay attention when they read the manga.
Everyone on /a/ basically just smashes their face into the monitor and screams memes the entire time.

>>137211137
Stands are just a advance form of Hamon anyway.

I was really dissapointed about how he went out. If he had just used the ripple once a week or so he could have been a badass until the end of time. He didn't seem like the sort to want a normal life.

>>137205312
Even heros get old, that's a battle nobody can win.

i know I'm just stealing this from Joel from vinesauce but i agree with him, it would had been so much cooler if Joseph had died transferring his last Hamon to Jotaro so that he could had combined it with Star Platinum to give him the upper hand over Dio, it would had made much more sense over Dio dying of kicking with his bad leg and it would had been the perfect send off for Joseph and the ripple, it was implied that Joseph had the affear that created Josuke before part 3 started so it wouldn't affect diamond is unbreakable that much and it would explain why Jotaro doesn't age in part 4 and 6

>>137213462
weird coincidence, I just followed him yesterday after watching his XP destruction video

>>137212691
I disagree. In my opinion the majority of the Jojos except for Giorno wanted nothing but a normal life, but events outside their control (Dio's appearance, Uncle Speedwagon's disappearance, The Nijimura brothers, etcetera) forced them to get into the vampire / stand nonsense.
I'm not talking about Yoshikage Kira's idea of a normal life (being figuratively invisible to everyone while murdering women by the side), but a normal life: a family, children, professional / business success and the like.

>>137207598

It's because Straits demonstrated that the longer you cling to your youth through Hamon the more it hurts when you have to eventually let go and grow old. Plus, there's no more vampires or pillar men any more. He still keeps it around as a party trick.

>>137213791
>getting triggered by a name
you might as well ignore that the rest of that post was perfectly related to the topic of the thread unlike yours.

>>137214087
The rest of that post was still incredibly stupid. The "take the last of my power" shit is one of the most cliched things you can imagine. Jotaro taking advantage of Dio's left side injury and said side's slower healing compared to the other was leagues better.

>>137207598
i think it goes well with Joseph character, remember Joseph is lazy as fuck unless he is under pressure, and the implication from what we saw of hamon training is that even in retirement you need to keep a pretty strict regime to keep the ripple flowing, i can totally believe Joseph saying fuck to the daily training once there was no immediate need for the ripple anymore

>>137214221
then why didn't you say it in the first place instead of shitposting worse than the post that you complained about?

>>137213462
>it would explain why Jotaro doesn't age in part 4 and 6
Unless you're implying that Jotaro could be a Hamon user without training, that wouldn't explain anything. Hamon slows down aging only if the user constantly trains with it, which is why we have Old Joseph

>>137205312
Unless he was going to go around teaching people The Ripple (which with no vampires, there's really no need), there really isn't anyone that would care outside of the Speedwagon Foundation
Joseph has lived most of his life in secret missions that nobody knows anything about.

I mean shit. It took until part 4 for him to FINALLY get old, I mean, actually old. And considering all the shit that most Ripple masters go through (resulting in death), I'd say he got off easy.

>>137211461
Hmm, maybe you're right.
I loved Part 2, but I had seen the OVA beforehand, so I knew what happened to Joseph beforehand.

i wonder if there would had been any relevant difference in part 3 if Joseph had kept practicing Hamon until that time.

Probably not. Maybe he would be able to fire off a zoom punch on Dio, but I doubt it.

>>137217028

Could Joseph even zoom punch? I know it's a basic ripple technique and one of the first things taught to Jonathan, but it's never mentioned and maybe by the 30's the ripple masters of the time had realised that dislocating your wrist just to make your punch go a little further is fucking retarded.

I feel like Joseph should sell his Ripple mastery, I mean it reduces ageing, great combative (especially on vamps) and has so much everyday usage Joseph would be sitting on so much Ripple money additionally with SWF's infinite budget, literally the richest man on Earth

>THIS OLD FART IS FUCKING HOT JAPANESE COLLEGE STUDENTS

>>137206867
He was mentally bumbling and pretty senile at first, but the excitement of dealing with Stand users, and generally stuff happening besides sitting around getting old got his cogs moving again and when he returned home after part 4 he was apparently in much greater health than before.

>>137205312
I don't know why Araki brought Joseph in.

You can't really have a murder mystery plot when you bring in a character whose main power is finding people. Seriously, why didn't he break a goddamn camera and find Kira instantly?

>>137207323
I think Hamon would allow for some actual dude vs dude fights rather than nothing but ability stands.

Fuck, I'd settle for punch ghosts. I want some fucking COMBAT. Not "FIGURE OUT MY PUZZLE THEN ONE SHOT ME"

>captcha: select all images with cars
I fucking know, right?

>>137225729
The camera power was only related to the Joestar bloodline, that's how Jotaro found Josuke.

>>137225729
Because before they actually met Kira, they had no idea who he was. Joseph couldn't just think "the murderer" and get a picture of Kira. After they did discover Kira's identity, he quickly swapped identities, he was no longer "Yoshikage Kira" he was "Kosaku Kawajiri"

>>137208856
I'm at part 5. Does part 8 finally bring back fighting?

>>137211137
You'd think that even with stands you'd want to learn hamon.

Fuck, y'know what would've been cool? Have Joseph teach Josuke hamon. Josuke needs a method of healing himself anyway.

>>137225787
The entire reason Joseph came to Morioh and was introduced to the story was so he could use Hermit Purple to divine where RHCP's user was hiding.
Then Akira ambushed and revealed himself so he couldn't be found, and everyone forgot about Hermit Purple.

Also the photo of Aqua Necklace

>>137206867
I thought about it, and it occurred to me that when he showed in Part 4, he had just spent however long traveling to Japan, which is pretty taxing for someone at his age, and everyone was nearly disowning him for having a bastard son, so he's probably depressed too. By the time InvisaBaby happens he's recovered from the trip and Josuke has started reconciling with him, he might have even done what he did to foster that.

>>137225777
But there are tons of other series where you can get your combat fix, Jojo isn't like that anon, it's not about martial arts masters having knock out brawls, it's about normal people with super powers trying to murder each other. Shit, it's always been that way since part 2 anon, Joseph barely did any actual fighting, he pulled off some trick and cornered his enemies and then took them out pretty much right away

>>137225206
He used it against DIO.

>>137225853
Why? Look, as great as all the trick you can do with Hamon are, when you aren't fighting vampires or the undead Hamon is really not very practical in a fight, especially when most Stands can do more damage than any Hamon trick will do.

>>137225854
How could Hermit Purple been used to find Akira is still unknown. It is is suppossed to be a new hability never used in Part 3.

Aqua Necklace's photo was because he was menacing Josuke or something.

>>137225922
And he laughed. "Pilar Men hate him" is more fiting.

>>137225951
If Joseph has some clue to what hes looking for, it will show up in a photo. Aqua Necklace only popped up by chance, but they knew what Akira's Stand was. If he had thought about finding RHCP it would have probably shown Akira in the photo.

>>137225970
Only because he was confident that Hamon wouldn't be a threat thanks to The World. When Joseph tried to use it on him the first time he escaped Purple Hermit's binding before the Hamon contacted, and even when DIO stopped time he chose to hit Joseph with knives to avoid coming into contact with his Hamon infused Hermit Purple body wrapping under his clothes.

>>137225816
I think Josuke being in danger constitutes a pretty big threat to the bloodline.

>>137225905
You can have a happy medium, though. It gets kind of boring when all it ends up being is "OH NO I HAVE TO FIND OUT HIS TRICK AND TRICK HIM THEN HIT HIM".

Imagine having that kind of shit going on WHILE people are fighting. Doing shit like Jotaro and DIO in the end of part 3. That'd be awesome.

>>137225929
But Hamon is amazingly useful. Even if you aren't fighting vampires you get shit like walking on water, near instant healing and enhanced lifespan.

>>137226026
But Josuke was never in danger, Kira never once aimed his sights at Josuke until the end of part 4, so theres no way Kira would have shown up in a spirit photo.

>>137211221
Araki said he's still around by Stone Ocean.

>>137226026
But it would just be boring, because then it would be trying to find an excuse to put Hamon into every fight. Rarely does a Stand battle develop into a situation where Hamon would be in anyway useful, since it's a close-ranged technique, and if you get close enough to use Hamon in a Stand fight, you should be hitting with your Stand instead. It would no longer be this cool technique, it would become a hanger-on, like a clingy ex-girlfriend, cause then you will get situations like "Well why does X even bother with Hamon anymore, it doesn't do anything except a few tricks"

Are you honestly telling me you don't know how walking on water and near-instant healing would be incredibly useful in a Jojo battle? Especially in a series with fairly regular deaths?

I get not liking it but fuck you if you honestly think hamon wouldn't have any uses.

>>137226026
Again, just tricks. Walking on water is cool, but unless you're fighting a water-based Stand, or trying to traverse a river or lake, it aint gonna do much in a normal fight. The healing, while useful, was never implemented during battles in part 1 and 2, otherwise Joseph and Jonathan would never get hurt in a fight, they would just Hamon heal as soon as they get a scratch, but they never did, because it wasn't that powerful. And enhanced lifespan isn't gonna help win fights. Outside of curbstomping vampires and zombies, Hamon is useful for making water hold shapes, turn pasta into weapons, mind-control people you kiss, stuff birds into people's mouths, make a sail out of leaves, explode soda and laser light shows.

I like Hamon, it's just not useful outside of vampire hunting, and wouldn't be of any real use in a Stand battle, unless said Stand users are also vampires. With walking on water, sure, it's useful, like once, when you fight a water-based Stand, if you're lucky, any other time, how would it come in handy? Also Hamon healing is no where near "near-instant healing" Such a thing only happened once, when Zeppeli fixed Jonathan's broken neck, but that spent all of Zeppeli's life into that single Hamon move, and was obviously his ultimate trick.

It's true Hamon has it's uses, it would just run dry in the face of Stand battles.

These are all the Stand fights I can remember (so I may have missed a few or mistaken some) where the fight was more than a one-shot beat down, some kind of tactical puzzle fight, or just a curbstomp run-away fight

So you're defending an incredibly boring formula and pushing back at the fucking THOUGHT that adding in some other factors might spice things up?

Do you remember when Joseph pulled a tommy gun out in an attempt to kill Straits? Don't you think having more dangers aside from a stand would make the battles more dynamic and fun? Suddenly you've gotta be fast and clever with.

What? I was listing fights that were in the vain of what you've been asking for.

>The whole "WE MUST FIGURE OUT HOW TO BEAT HIM" gets incredibly boring
But that is literally every fight in all of Jojo, hell in practically every manga, it makes fights more interesting when the MC has to figure out how to win a fight, rather than just brute forcing a win, no where is that more of a central idea than in Jojo.

I mean shit, the way you complain you make it seem like every Jojo fight with Stands has been a level in Brain Age. Why not give some examples of these fights you have such issues with, because I am going over the fights throughout Jojo and I can only think of a handful where both sides of the battle are completely isolated physically from each other and ends in a one-shot beat down like you're talking about.

>>137226785

No, I'm actually giving less fucks than you if you'd notice the lack of actual argument. Try again.

I'm talking about part 4 mostly as that's as far as I'm up to. The "FUCK AROUND GETTING THRASHED FOR AN HOUR BEFORE FINDING IT'S WEAKPOINT" shit got old. Really fucking old.

I want more fights like Jotaro vs DIO. That was more than just "TIMESTOP". They were throwing shit, blocking, kicking, running, stopping their own hearts, etc. It was exciting and felt dynamic.

>>137226768
It's only boring to you, apparently, anon.

All Stand battles are fast and clever fights, since most fights are "think on your feet or you're dead" situations. Theres never been any Stand battles where the guys just sit around thinking up a solution. You're seriously just trying to jam different elements into Stand battle for no other reason than to force more things in. Stand battles have always been fight in tactical knowledge and how to best use your environment to beat the enemy, since Stand fights are pretty much never pre-planned situations, they are spontaneous, forcing the Stand users to think on their feet, to come up with something right then and there. Joseph didn't pre-plan to fight Straits and pack a tommy gun, hell, even when he did use the Tommy Gun, it ended up just being used for a Hamon trick since bullets were useless against Straights.

I mean shit, how far are you even in part 4, because it's clear you haven't gotten very far in the part if you're bitching about people not being clever and pulling out exciting tactics and tricks on the fly.

Is Part 5 a blur to anyone else? I can literally remember nothing about it, besides King Crimson and Narancia dying

That's pretty much an extended version of the thing you just mentioned. The reason the fight was like that was because Jotaro could NOT approach DIO without some sort of trick, or he'd get killed.

>>137227082
Yes, but the tricks were mixed in with actual fighting. It was cool to see them ripping out lamposts and dropping steam rollers.

The worst part about it is his mom is probably still alive and looking younger than him.

Joseph is the only Joestar who lived past his 40s and he's also a real estate tycoon in New York who runs the Speedwagon Foundation.

>>137227172
I'll give you the car part was pretty cool, but after Super Fly I was just so sick and tired of it.

I really enjoyed part 4's finale, though. Especially the kid being a clever fuck and using the plant like a gun.

>>137208936
Your next line will be: And this is supposed to be impressive?

>>137227120
>It was cool to see them ripping out lamposts and dropping steam rollers.
Them? DIO was the only one who did that. Jotaro hit Dio like six times the entire fight, only after catching him off guard each time, meanwhile the fight was pretty much one-sided until the heart stopping trick with DIO beating the shit out of Jotaro. Once DIO sucked Joseph's blood, Jotaro got one more hit in before the end of the battle. It wasn't as back and forth as you seem to think it was, in fact the fight was pretty short and Jotaro spent most of the fight getting his ass handed to him.

>>137217998
He can zoom punch, but he only did it once. Against the Pillar Men there's no point with small tricks like that.

Then again Joseph did beat ACDC and Wham with cheap tricks like that.

>>137227052
Totally, I guess it's the combination of bad scans and nonsense plot. Makes it hard to formulate the timeline when remembering it.

>>137225178
Hermit Purple is a fairly weak stand for combat and he's been out of practice for years. However, HP is arguably the only Stand in the series that could work with his Hamon.

>>137227052
I re-read it a while ago. I really don't understand how people have trouble remembering or understanding anything about part 5, it was pretty much clear as day, though half of it was re-translations, so that might have helped.

>>137227229
I think it's a shame how DIO got beaten, Star Platinum didn't have anything on him until he learned how to think during a time stop.

Then again if Dio had stopped playing around and just killed him without celebrating his victory over the Joestars he might have done it.

>>137227822
Because his two least phrases are "work hard" and "hard work". Hamon takes both.

Also does Giorno ever get more interesting?

>>137229039
Giorno is always interesting, he's just not a goofy fuck like 2/4 of the other Jojo's introduced already.
He's good guy Dio, the climax of Jonathan and Dio's bizarre friendship.

>>137229125
>He's good guy Dio
He is clearly godfather Jonathan

>>137229196
He's a golden child. He has the ambition and ability Dio had, and is willing to kill and commit crimes to achieve his goals as long as it doesn't contradict his ethics. He has Jonathan's honor and the pride that comes with being a Joestar.
And Gold Experience is basically a combination of Dio's and Jonathan's potential, it creates life like Jonathan's ripple did, but is a close range stand like The World.

>>137229293
Not to mention the guy is more than willing to throw his body into a meat grinder if it means winning a fight, as long as it doesn't kill him

>>137229293
>is willing to kill and commit crimes to achieve his goals as long as it doesn't contradict his ethics
Jonathan is also like this. Sure he kept Dio's head in the boat instead of killing him, but he tried to kill him before. He also killed lots of vampires and zombies.

>>137229444
Killing an undead abomination is different from blowing some guy's brains out with his own gun, infecting a person with a flesh melting virus or forcing a venomous snake to bite a man on the tongue

>>137229536
This entirely.
Araki makes it very apparent that Jonathan wasn't held back by his physical ability as much as it was his character. He had heart, but was too Lawful Good for his own well being.

All this lashing out against Stands is fucking stupid. Have any of you actually seen Jo2uke and how amazing he is? Soft & Wet is by far one of the most interesting Stands Araki has ever come up with, and the "fights" are far more tense than anything from Phantom Blood or Battle Tendency.

He still wasn't able to attack Joseph with the World when the old man wrapped purple hermit around himself and charged it with ripple energy, thats why Joseph lasted long enough to shout out to Jotaro and why Dio resorted to throwing a knife in his throat

The only reason he dismissed it was because Joseph had no way to offensively hit him with the ripple fast enough that Dio could not prevent it.

Though if it was part 2 Joseph he totally could have beaten Dio even without a stand, of course

>>137226118
>>137226290
You're being an idiot who needs to reread the early parts of the series, Hamon can be utilized to do all sorts of crazy things.
Its not like you need to use a stand attack to take out a stand user, or set them up for the finishing blow.

>>137231802
Did Joseph ever killed a vampire? I can only remember him killing Pilar Men.

>>137231840
Straits

>>137231840
Well technically Pillar Men are superior 'vampires' who create the lesser beings known as vampires with the stone masks but are better than them in every way. Also Cars did have an army of vampire servants leading up to the final confrontation in Part 2.

>>137231877
He killed himself.

>>137231909
Kars' army were killed by nazis, not Joseph.

>>137231920
Oh, come on. He would have died either way.

>>137231944

No, there's definitely more to it than that.

Giorno's entire drive is that he wants to stand at the top of the gang because he wants to stand at the top of the gang. This is said by a single line of narration and we never get even a line of inner monologue about it from the guy himself. Why are we supposed to care about this character's quest again?

>>137231840
Vampires are weaker than Pillar Men but still much stronger than humans. Part 2 was cool because Joseph had to outsmart his foes instead of just being naturally overwhelmingly powerful.
Yeah, he could probably take out part 1 Dio, but DIO? With The World? Probably not

Hamon was pretty great. The stands never really impressed me and it was more fun watching people rip eachother to bits.

The only reason I enjoyed the third arc at all was the characters and not their powers.

>>137236995
Can't beat German engineering. Hell, they built a functional cyborg with a hidden machinegun in his torso that only broke because of an airplane crash and a war.

>>137237550

I think Kars fucked him up.

Not to count, Stroheim managed to fight Kars and live, just with science.

Could geman science beat DIO?

>>137237683
Probably. Dio only became a big fish because he got himself a stand and constantly surrounded himself with henchmen that were neurotic weirdos. The Jojo nazis had their shit together and only ran into trouble because they had to fight the Pillarmen that were basically demigods.

>>137237683
German science is the best in the world, but is DIO out of this world?

>>137237251
Animefag I guess?
Hamon was fun while it lasted but Araki was reaching the limits of vampires.
Hamon was always about "imbue stuff with it", or "hit bad guy with it", not terribly exciting.

>>137237929
Nah, I read the manga and got terribly bored with the third arcs action.

A stand is just basically a punch condom so the fighters don't have to lay a finger on eachother.

>>137238010
later stands have unique abilities though, it's not just punching family

>>137238010
>A stand is just basically a punch condom so the fighters don't have to lay a finger on eachother.
What are you even criticizing?

>>137238050
Yeah, but I rather just have direct punches instead of ghost punches.

>>137238075

Not that guy but, Jotaro and Dio kept staring each other while THE WORLD and Star P. fought, DIO could simply rekt Jotaro in a fight, non stand wise.

Which is weird since DIO uses his super strength to rip a sign on heart stop scene.

>>137238075
Well, condoms are bonerkillers and less fun than raw sex. So to me it just turned into a pussified manga when the stands were introduced.

It just felt like PG13 Jojo's to me.

>>137238255
So you like fights because of the violence?
Too bad JJBA is 80% about mind games.
Even Hamon was an excuse for Jojos to hurt the vampires when they spend the majority of the fight trying to figure out how to hit them.

>>137238145
Even still, DIO should have killed Jotaro regardless. He had vampiric healing abilities, Jotaro didn't, he was just a buff 17 year old. The bit where you see The World destroy Jotaro's ribs, that should have killed him.

>>137238366
I liked the first two arcs because they had ultra violence and mindgames. Stands is for the most part just mindgames with milder levels of violence.

>>137238735
Did the first 2 parts have people literally melting into a sink?

>>137238735
>ultra violence and mindgames

>>137210925
Jesus fucking Kars, I'd let him take me from behind.

>>137238645

Well, thats plot for ya, but some times everything grab the idiot ball and does not go after the user, exceptions being Death and Anubis, with the first being Kakyoin being denied, and Anubis has no user.

I would like the opposite of it, stands users going after the user themselfes, the puppet guy from part 4 was a cool one, same thing with Heaven's door and Highway star, fuck the user not the stand.

>>137238772

Dogs being lit on fire and baby eating, is this not brutal enough?

>>137238824
Well, I will check that out then.

>>137238735
Honestly they didn't feel that violent to me. Later fights have flayed skins, gouged out eyes, razorblades in the throat, hands and fingers and sometimes fingernails flying, blood vessels pulled out of the body...
Part 1 and 2 had people melting or disappearing into dust.

>>137238645
Jotaro was a superior Stand user, using SP to protect himself for instance, knowing the limits of SP and stuff. DIO probably never fought before with TW, and even in his powered state, he should have seen that TW doesn't stand up to SP in a straight fistfight. So trying to kick Jotaro was foolish, DIO should've known that SP would have broken the leg.

To his credit, DIO makes full uses of his regeneration, he did use that to survive being ORA'd toward Joseph. Almost all of the other powers would have been near useless against a Stand.

>>137239129

Still, why no eye lasers aginst Jotaro, instead of sign, why not the stinger ripper something?

It worked aginst Jonathan.

>>137239129
First arc has people turning into dust as vampires and second arc has Pillarmen wearing human beings as outfits. Then there is also Pillarmen exploding into bits and trying to meld together as a fleshy T1000 after being blown to bits.

>>137239277
Not him but the "stinger" didn't work against Joseph when used by Straights so I'd guess it would be even more useless against Star Platinum since Jotaro's reaction time is faster. Throwing multiple knives during stopped time should be harder to dodge than a single space ripper and yet Star Platinum was punch deflecting them before being overwhelmed. A mudamudamuda... punch session should be even stronger and faster and yet Star Platinum could match it. Space ripper stingy eyes sounds and looks cool but I don't see it being effective after part 1. Plus I always thought it was counter productive for a vampire to throw his body fluids as weapons anyway.

>>137239277
Two reasons:
-SRSE is a rather weak technique in the powerscale, humans have been able to guard or avoid it even at point blank range, so SP... Knives thrown by the World are definitely better, they'd go fly at higher speed and with higher power.
-DIO is more or less playing with the definitely better toy than vampire powers he just received.

>>137239574

I meant in the heart stop scene, Dio could simply fire the lasers from far.

>>137239681
Yeah, he was careless and just wanted to see Jotaro's head roll
There's another explanation that says Space Ripper Stingy Eyes makes him blind for a few secs (the time his eyes regenerate)

I liked hamon, it felt like something characters had to work hard to master. I would like to see hamon combined with stands like what Joseph did with his.

If this fight does nothing for you, then just drop JoJo.

>>137241264
Those were at least Mexicans, not confirmed Jews.

Joseph is 80 by part 4, and unlike many of his contemporaries he was lazy about his Hamon training (despite his natural talent for it).

Ergo he aged like a normal person, and if you're unlucky you start having bad memory issues by then.

>>137237683
Dio being written out of Part 2 was an excellent way to save him while still having him be relevant in later seasons. Save for his stand, he is naturally far weaker than the Pillar Men.

Assuming Dio didn't have mastery of The World, and assuming you caught him with his pants down on the front lines (whereas he normally relies on his perpetual waves of minions) then using UV lighting to ambush him and stands/other lighting to kill him should work incredibly well.

>>137242653

If Stroheim could fight Kars, i think Kars could make a stand seeing camera and use it to avoid the world.

And UV Nazi grunts would help.

I feel like part 2 and 3 should be inverted, Joseph and Stroheim fights Dio, and Jotaro faces the pillarmen.

SP is basically the ghost of a pillar men.

Thru i would really like if he added other powers that more than not!Hamon.

Hamon SP would basically be Dante with Beowulf.

Why didn Joseph told Jotaro about Hamon? I feel like Jotaro could make use of it.

>>137242884
Jotaro doesn't have hamon.

>>137213423
Dio won.

>>137244995

This is why said: Why didn Joseph told Jotaro about Hamon?

Mr prankster forgot that some ribs didn need to be broken.

>>137245201
Nobody that isn't an unnatural undead abomination.

>>137244995
I always wondered why Joseph wouldn't pass it on since you can use it to heal your body.

>>137245334
He had a crash course from the guy that had a crash course himself. It's really not hard to understand.

>>137245376
Yeah, it seems anyone who is in good physical condition and discipline would be able to pick up.

>>137245478
IIRC you're born with hamon or you're not, you can only teach people how to use what they already have, otherwise it'd be like trying to teach singing to a mute.

>>137239129
>Jotaro was a superior Stand user, using SP to protect himself for instance, knowing the limits of SP and stuff.

That is true, but look at this clip. At DIO's peak, The World shattered Star Platinum's defense, completely obliterating Jotaro, this would have killed any ordinary person.

>>137245720
I guess that might be the case. It still seems like something that would be passed on in the family, though.

I guess Jotaro's Japanese genes fucked it up.

>>137245745
It's all about how you feel, remember that Stands are products of the soul. When DIO and Jotaro charged, Jotaro destroyed DIO's hand because he was fucking pissed but when DIO revealed he had 4 more seconds of timestop, he became the dominant one. Jotaro overcame his fighting spirit when he managed to use timestop

Hamon isn't the only thing the Joestar genes lost when they got mixed with Japanese genes.

>>137245994

Men everyone looks like a cross of a barbie doll and bara porn character.

>>137245830
There's a fairly plausible theory that hamon is only passed on by the mother. Johnathan's father didn't seem to have hamon, Jorge didn't get hamon from Johnathan, Joseph got his from Lisa Lisa, and Holly didn't get anything from Joseph.

Well said.

>>137246177
Except a stand, which is the final evolution of hamon.

>>137246501
If a Stand is the final evolution of hamon, then being touched by Hermit Purple would have burned DIO, Joseph wouldn't need to infuse Hermit Purple with the hamon.

>Jotaro and Josuke that small
Josuke was pretty buff when part 4 began and Jotaro is easily Joseph-tier, the big guy is clearly Jonathan though

>>137246620
Jonathan was a cross between a teddy bear and a brick wall

>>137238735
What about a stand that creates invisible zombies that eat people?

>>137246587
There's always been some level of theory though, otherwise Stands should be vastly less effective on vampires, who are largely immune to blunt force trauma and other basic forms of attack.

>>137248159
Eh, vampires and pillarmen basically already did that. I just don't find the idea of stands to be interesting.

I found all the stands fights to be boring to read. Naturally I don't feel like reading several story arcs with them.

I just prefer bullshit martian arts over magical punch ghosts.

Part 7 is the best part you pleb

>>137206867
It seemed to me like he had become so far gone because he had gotten discouraged, and the incidents in Morioh+reconciling with Josuke+Achtung Baby gave him the will to live again

>>137248703
>I just prefer bullshit martian arts over magical punch ghosts.
I like how people pretend there's a significant change in Araki's methods of pacing battles and encounters since switching to stands.
It's still a series of asspulls and covers until getting an OHKO for most fights sans climactic ones. Part 1 and 2 barely fucktioned as kung-fu manga especially compared to its popular contemporaries like HnK.

Punch ghosts memes is only relevant to a few encounters throughout all of the series.

Someone please post the panel whe re Johnny and Gyro are making a toast to everything they have lost. Both colored and black & white are acceptable.

Your favorite SBR panels are fine too.

>>137236337
This.

My great grandpa once told this amazing story to me when I was 13 about how back in the 60's he journeyed across America in search of his best friend who went into hiding after murdering someone.

>Raised during the great depression.
>Fought in World War II
>Went on a pan-american journey to get answers from his best friend, encountering cult enclaves and gang members that he sometimes had to fight in melee combat (The purest form of combat)
>Never found his brother, but he grew as a person
>The mystery is still unsolved to this day, but he told me that he hopes his friend found peace in the end.

I didn't believe most of what he said at the time, and I still don't because he probably exaggerated some shit, but I got fucking BORED listening to him talk about island hopping to fight the Japanese.

>>137205312
Hell in part three he already lost most of the things that made him who he was.

I thought I heard someone say in these threads that SBR colored is finished? Batoto only has up to Tusk. Is there anywhere else that has it?

>>137252118
Because people don't know how, or when it's appropriate, to compare fiction to reality.

nice bait desu

No the ripple brought back only 1 person's noble SOUL, and this was only because they were a very righteous person. Their undead bodies will always be destroyed by the hamon.

>>137245994
Josuke is literaly 15 though, by the time of stone ocean i'm sure he was Jonathon tier
