Okuyasu tried to kill Josuke but Josuke still became friends with him.

Fuck off and go kill yourself.

>>144635354

Because Koichi and Josuke are forgiving good people and they probably didn't tell Jotaro.

If Jotaro knew what Rohan did to Koichi and Okuyasu he'd fucking kill him without a moment's hesitation.

Josuke is a bro like all jojos

Jesus Christ, I love Josuke and all, he's my top JoJo of all time alongside with Johnny but this was probably one of his lowest points for me, notwithstanding how hilarious it was with the readers.

>>144636244
If OP thinks letting them beat him up wasnt enough forgiveness, Josuke certainly makes it even later even if its not intentional

>>144636289
I imagine he did offer to fix it, but Rohan probably threatened to replace his blood with ink and use him as his new ink pot.

That was only because he didn't have to. Every stand user who has successfully pissed him off ended up getting beaten to fucking death in a particularly brutal manner.

Rohan will never stop being a prick to Josuke no matter what. He even saved his fucking life at one point and Rohan still shit on him for that just because he ignored his warning. Fuck him, I'm glad his house burned down.

Phantom Blood is fairly mediocre. I guess the adaption was novel for people who hadn't read the manga.

Rohan is autistically batshit. If he tells you you're his buddy, nod and smile for your own good.

All stand users seem to have a strain of latent psychopathy in them, dunno why that is. Maybe its connected to them supposedly having "more willpower than most" or something

>>144640476
The funny thing is, the fights involving the Ripple aren't very different to the fights involving Stands: both opponents have a set of different supernatural abilities, the fight boils down to one opponent trying to outsmart the one, and the thing can get very messy (and bloody).

Did you forget that literally the first enemy introduced other than Dio went from trying to kill Johnathan to being gay for him and devoting his entire life and legacy to supporting his family?

And johnathan didn't even need to beat the shit out of him to change him.

>>144636289
Consider this, though: Rohan fucking deserves it.

>>144640589
in the manga we only really focus on Stand users, but I imagine if most of the people in the world suddenly got a spiritual power that allowed them to defeat/outwit/cheat 99% of normal people, they'd go a bit criminally insane.

>>144635591

Jotaro would just oraora him into a coma.

>>144640956
Dio also went from trying to kill Johnathan to being gay for him and devoting his entire life and legacy to be accepted by his body

Refresh my memory because I can't remember most of the canon fodder opponents from Part 3, but did Jotaro ever willfully kill anyone? Or were they all just hospitalized or died from other means?

>>144641052
yeah, but have you seen the shit Stand users, on average, have pulled? Burning people alive, dismembering with skipping a beat, attempting to gouge eyes and tongues out, planting lethal parasites in peoples bodies, braining people with fucking bricks out of the blue shit like that. Even your average hardened criminal might shy away from the incredibly violent things Stand users have pulled, most would just shoot you and get it over with

Yes, DIO

I kind of think this changed after part 6 since Johnny and JoJolion Josuke don't seem to be particularly "better" than other people. Probably has to do with Araki's writing more than anything though.

Literally everybody dies in part 6. Except Emporio I guess.

Becuase he's araki's self intert AND fujo's fan favorite so he can get away with literally everything. He does die twice while suffering horribly tho,don't worry.

This. How can OP be this retarded?

Let's be completely honest here. Is there any single person but Araki that thinks Rohan actually has a good personality?

Does Araki even think that?

Literally all of Rohan's battles are Joseph in part 3 levels of psychological distress.

>>144641167
To my knowledge he killed Captain Tenille and Forever.

He MIGHT have killed Rubber Soul and Steely Dan, but it's never really made clear if Star Platinum's beatdown was fatal.

Of course, I may be remembering things wrong, so...

>>144641744
Johnny's a cripple and Jojolion Josuke is a lost amnesiac, to be fair.

>>144637689
>bad guys turn good for no reason
You mean like Speedwagon, Caesar, and Stroheim in the masterpiece that is part 1?
>every episode is a filler "monster of the week" style with nothing at stake except for the last 2-3
Right, because Tarkus/Blueford was totally necessary to the plot right? It's not like fights are the main point of the series or anything. Once the characters know who the main baddie is, they should just defeat him and that's it. Who even cares about establishing a setting, side characters, or adding in fun chapters to lighten the mood?
>fights against fucking rats, dogs and gorillas
What's your point? Are you saying that a fight is automatically made shit because one of the combatants isn't human? Who cares?
>characters act like idiots all the time: strange things happen? -> don't even consider it could be a stand, fall into traps all the time and split for no reason other than to force 1v1 fights
What the fuck? Did you even watch the fucking show? Most of the characters assume from the get-go that what they're facing is a stand. Look at how Rohan first reacted to Remi for fucks sake.
>then in those fights they suddenly turn into tactical geniuses
You mean like Joseph, and how his entire character is based on how strategic he is in fights, then turns into a bumbling dumbass during non-action scenes? But season 1 is still a masterpiece right?
>I don't understand why people like this so much. Season 1 was a masterpiece and now it's nothing but trash.
At this point I'm pretty sure I'm the bigger idiot for responding to bait.

battle tendency and phantom blood were fucking garbo on the level of baoh and jojo only got good around part 4 or so, and even then didn't become great until part 7.

>>144643263
battle tendency is pretty good

>>144635354
wtf I hate Jojo now

>>144643299
battle tendency had one good character and a couple of entertaining moments, in the entire part

Whatever happened to actually killing stand users?
It seems by the time they arrived to Egypt on part 3 everyone was spared, with a few exceptions.

>>144643299
battle tendency is decent, but overrated as fuck.

>>144635686
>holy fuck this guy is 2gud. Even tho we're trying to kill him he's only maiming us. This guy is a TRUE GENTLEMEN! I'm going to be his best brojo

>People only now realising that JJBA has poor writing.

It excels in characters, design and fights and not much else. It takes until Part 7 for the writing to actually get very good. If the fights weren't GOAT tier then WSJ would have canned it a long time ago.

>>144642903
He certainly has an entertaining personality.

>>144643438
>It takes until Part 7 for the writing to actually get very good
Even then some of the choices are extremely questionable. Like what the point of dedicating a good chunk of the opening chapter to Sandman and establishing his character only to kill him off in a random fight, or having Diego be brought back and be the final fight, which kinda took away from the Valentine fight.

>>144643410
you need to wait for part 5, araki was in a really good mood when he was writing 4 but in part 5 he was in a slump and i don't think a single enemy was spared. some even get tortured to death, by the 'good' guys

>>144643576
I thought it was to tell the reader yo this is a reset and we're back in america. Because that's how I read into it.

>>144643438
People always say 7 has good writing but never say why.

>>144643576
Sandman's introduction just seemed like world-building. Like, "Hey, welcome to the wild plains of America". Although he was a sadly underutilized character.

>>144643614
How are they good? They are fucking mafia

>>144643660
Still, I would have liked to see them do something more with him. Maybe something along the lines of him replacing Pocoloco as the guy who wins the race in the end. Also, removing the Diego fight, and having Johnny maybe tie with Sandman or something, so Johnny technically wins the race as well and mends the relationship with his father.

>>144643576
I agree but the later part of made up for it. I was so annoyed about how everything with Sandman went down though, I can forgive Deigo's appearance at the end because it's kind of like fan service and it was hype when it happened.

I would say Part 8 is where his writing has been at it's best. It being a mystery heavy story also allows people to brush aside stuff that Araki may have 'forgotten' as simply not having been explained just yet.

The only reason JJBA gets away with this is because the fights are usually so good it allows you to overlook this kind of stuff.

>>144637482
>Every stand user who has successfully pissed him off ended up getting beaten to fucking death in a particularly brutal manner.

It's trying to spread a message of forgiveness and seeing the best in people.

>>144643787
Of course. If I wasn't able to forgive sub-par writing in exchange for amazing action, I would have dropped JoJo faster than the speed of light.

>>144643260
The animal fights are great. It is refreshing to have extraordinary enemies like the animal ones, for reasons I hopefully don't have to explain. That is true in general for any show that has a lot of fighting and action and many, constantly changing foes. In a show that follows the Monster of the Week trope, with the main enemy being built up in the background, there isn't much room for characterizing every enemy and giving them depth. In order for that to not become boring, you need to either modify them (see animal stand users or oingo and boingo), add comedy to some fights, or skip them entirely (DiU uses a lot of slice-of-life elements to achieve that, an experiment that was largely successful).
And in regards to the animal fights in particular, they have the bonus if the opponent ridden by base instincts, which means behavior that is generally different from that of human enemies. For example, animals have a lack of empathy, leading them to possibly doing some rather cruel things if it ensures survival.

>>144643755
i was using 'good' in the sense that they are on the side with the protagonist, but also giorno's dream for drugs to not be sold to children is fairly commendable

jojo's bizarre adventure is 'form over function' in it's purest distilled essence, the vast majority of what araki does with his manga is purely because he thinks its cool and i can respect that

>>144643967
It does mean that JJBA can never be considered the GOAT manga though, despite what it's fanbase might suggest. Part 8 is really good though, has to be said, might end up being the best part if it stays like this all the way through.

>>144644227
In terms of the quality of writing, its not as if Araki tries to execute intriguing concepts and falls short, its that the story is there to provide an excuse for the action. The story is sub-par simply because its meant to be in the background, so I can forgive it in a way I wouldn't do so with other works.

>>144644227
He's gonna fuck up and rush it.

>>144644503
Hopefully not. I hear he only rushed the ending of SBR so that when JJL started the events of that Eartquake on March 11th of whatever year was still fresh in people's mind since it hit Sendai pretty bad and he made it the first big thing to happen in JJL.

>>144644804
I get why he did it but rushing it was still a mistake.

>>144644880
We better make sure nothing affects Sendai for the next 10 years then.

Even thought it felt rushed, I didn't think the ending of SBR was bad, I was very satisfied by it. It worked out in the end I think.

Let me explain why you're dumb.

>bad guys turn good for no reason

Speedwagon, Stroheim

>every episode is a filler "monster of the week" style with nothing at stake except for the last 2-3

Yeah, because Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency didn't have any fights that had nothing at stake. Like, say, Doobie, Wired Beck, Jack the Ripper, Donovan...

>fights against fucking rats, dogs and gorillas

It's almost like this is some kind of bizarre adventure. But I guess that is a bit too out there. Araki should go back to writing normal things, like vampires that suck blood with hair or Aztec stripper vampires that attack people with their veins.

>characters act like idiots all the time: strange things happen? don't even consider it could be a stand, fall into traps all the time and split for no reason other than to force 1v1 fights

>Gyro bullied Johnny
>Joshuu bullies Josuke

>>144643672
great pacing

>>144639665
Padding is not the same as filler.

Anyway, if I would say that JJBA has any problem, it's that the incidental fights that occur generally have no long lasting bearing on whatever occurs in any given part.

I mean

>Part 1: Dio kills every important character, save for the one that Tarkus kills
>Part 2: Wham kills Caesar
>Part 3: DIO and Vanilla Ice are the only ones to kill people
>Part 4: Kira is the only one to kill anyone in the main group
>Part 5: Diavolo kills three of the main cast
>Part 6: Pucci kills basically everyone
>Part 7: Valentine kills basically everyone, with Blackmore and Diego killing one protagonist each

Makes it hard to see minor villains as threats when you know the good guys will survive those fights most of the time and not even have any debilitating injuries from them.

>>144646196
This. Every minor fight ends the same way and the main cast characters that are going to die usually do so in the very last few chapters/episodes.

>>144646196
I mean, yeah, it's a problem, but like, Wham was a "minor" villain, and Part 7 had a good amount of random characters kills. Also, Damo killed Kira, so it's another minor villain kill...but still, I get what you're saying, it's totally true

Does anyone else think that the story is sort of told from a potentially biased perspective? That can change as time goes on?

Like, during the start of the SBR race, when Johnny touches Gyro's balls and starts going crazy trying to do it again, Gyro's response is very mocking, cold and intimidating, asking him if he wants to be kicked to death. But after the long journey where they got to know each other, when Valentine's just killed Gyro and it's his death-montage, it shows Gyro being upset and concerned when Johnny tried touching his balls, yelling at him to be careful.

I dunno, it seemed a cool idea to think that some things characters talk about in their backstories might have simply been their own takes on things, somewhat different from what actually happened.

People only care about the memes, it's allowed to have bad writing.

>>144646833
People care about more than just the memes. They also care about the homoerotic art

>>144635354
you sound like a communist

>>144635354
I can't remember if he says the same thing in the anime but I'm pretty sure in the manga Rohan says he admires Koichi or some shit.

>>144646744
pretty much.johnny and gyro are no less terrorists than the guys they kill

>>144647469
Who doesn't love Koichi in part 4

>>144648030

I don't, he's a liar and a thief, no dignity.

Now don't get me wrong, I like the later parts, but something about the charm and bizarreness of the beginning is lost as the manga goes on.

I still think Araki was at his best going full retard with Battle Tendancy.

>>144648995
Uh-huh.

>>144648995
But the part when Araki goes full retard is Stone Ocean

>>144642716
It doesn't illiterate

>>144648995
Battle Tendency (and Phantom Blood) were a bit too much like the other shounen fighters of that time with almost invincible MCs and end of the world style plots, they were entertaining (and bucked one of two of the established trends at the time) but wouldn't have kept the series alive much longer. I think Part 4 is the part which has the best balance of being charming and bizarre without going into Heavy Weather retardation territory (HW was a great fight but fucking snails man, I don't even). However Part 4 is the least 'adventurous' since it all happens in the same town, but I like that so whatever. Part 7 has the best balance of those three elements so far because Part 8 looks like it's all set in one place also.
