Why the fuck does he pose?

>>28825708
Jojo. Pokemon references anime all the time.

SM abides to the JoJo universe mechanics of posing increasing your power level

>>28825736
I see. Gazuma did this too

Memes, anon.
When you have to express much in a single pic, and you are a novice you have to exagerate, then it becomes part of your style and you start referencing other magazines on your covers.

After a few years other mangaka are referencing you and the tradicional art of posing gets ramped up to eleven, to the point most reference your work as the origin of something you only work with, then you proceed to kill a character the way you said he was going to die 30 years before.

Most of the posing happens in the covers, not so much in the manga itself....Most of the time. They still pose but the covers get most of the iconic ones.

>>28826052
Is the the gayest straight thing ever?

>>28826011
Actually he is right the anime remake injected a lot of cancerous newfans that mostly care about Stardusts Crusaders

I'm sick and fucking tired of JoJo holy fuck it's in every board on every thread and the worst part about it is how everyone shills Joseph like he's a fucking God or some shit.

I really don't see the problem if a bunch of people got introduced into the series with the anime. Unless, of course, you are someone who apparently cares about the nonsensical 'purity' of things

It is a double-edge sword, really. Jojo getting new fans is not a bad thing by itself, but the constant spam/memes/Stardust Crusaders obsession gets annoying.

I don't hate JoJo. I just hate insufferable memespouting JoJofags that has been plaguing this board ever since the anime remake is a thing.

>>28826110
Be glad, most of the JoJo fans are gay for Jotaro.
Creepily so.

>>28826081
That doesn't mean the quality of the actual work has gone down. Just the association with a cancerous fanbase.

JoJo is still good.

>>28826157
>remake
I think the word you're looking for is adaptation.

What exactly are the JoJo memes that everyone hates. I always found the posing/stands/flamboyant outfit jokes fun, the only thing that's ever seen really obnoxious is everything involving Dio since he's basically Reddit the villain

>>28826130

I see more part 2 stuff personally.

Are you okay there, anon?

>>28826185
Mostly the fact that you can argue a reference everywhere and have enough truth in it to start a ragefire.

Most of the time is just a common trope or the like that appeared in JoJo before, but did not originate there.

Not that it matters if you WANT to see a thread go on flames.

>>28825724
>thinking your memeshow is relevant

>>28826127
None of my friends will even touch the manga now because of the fan base the anime has brought, and that fucking sucks because some times I like to talk about it and they just go on and on how annoying people who like that show are.

Considering I'm here on /vp/? Probably not. Are any of us really okay? Even though we try to refrain from it, are we all victims of the atmosphere at least once?

It's a question to consider. We are all destined to act like fools at least once.

>>28826128
Fuck man, that blew my fucking mind. Boingo's fucking book was never fucking wrong dude

>>28826208
Stardust Crusaders is easily the most normie-lized and memed on part. The nu-fanbases obsession with DIO and stands all stem from it

The only stuff I still see about part 2 is Joseph/Caesar yaoi for some reason

>>28826262
Oh right. I completely forgot about the OVA, and the Phantom Blood movie adaptation.

>>28826274
it's a shame since part 2 was better

>>28826287
Miles better than SDC. Dont get me wrong, some of those final fights were really fucking good, but the first half of Crusaders was objectively the worst part of all of JoJo. Little to no story whatsoever, and the pacing was fucking weird.

>>28826262
No adaptation that changes the meme Dio attack for Eat some of this truck/A truck for you deserves to be forgotten. And the cardboard tier VA...

>>28826287
It could have been a lot better. Caesar, Lisa Lisa, those two guys who helped train them, Straizo, etc. all got shafted pretty hard. Wamuu, Kars and Stroheim were really its saving graces

His crystal hand twitches

>>28826175
I know it is good, i fucking love it. What i hate is when a newfag see a Kamen Rider or a Super Sentai in the middle of henshin they start screaming oh my god power ranger made jojo reference xD le best chinese cartoon evah

>>28826317
It was pretty comfy. The episodes were pretty formulaic but it was at least fun to watch them hanging out at the beginning of each episode then occasionally seeing Kakyoin or Avdol get to beat someone for once

Man, I wonder if a majority of these "fans" that constantly spam the same "leORARAORA/OH MAI GAWD!/MUDAMUDAMUDA!" memes have even read the manga. It still spouts out a lot of weird things, but not as much of a cringy memefest that they make it out to be.

>>28826432
I've never seen one of those, to be honest.
The closest I've seen were a few falseflags when Jangmo-o was announced.

>>28826432
I have to wonder where you see these people because the only time I've seen this is in ironic posts on 4chan

>>28826432
Don't worry, the anime only fags will stop caring eventually, barely anyone that can be considered "normie" is watching Part 4, and soon everyone will hate Part 5 and fuck off.


Side note, but I have a bad feeling that Diego Brando From Another Universe was only introduced in Part 7 to appeal to people in Japan who watched the SDC anime. Just so he could say "KONNICHIWA, DIO-SAMA ISSU BACKU, BUY MY MANGA YOU FILTHY OTAKU SCUM"
Has Araki ever said anything about him?

So why is Dio's name in all caps?

>>28826264
fuck off

Yes. The synonyms for memespams.

>>28826561
Wouldn't doubt it, part five is pretty awful imho.
There's some pretty cool stands and characters but Giorno is a shit Jojo.

>>28826110
then start liking JoJo you fag

>>28826697
Look that day on the archives, there was so much meme per word that it couldn't have been a natural post.

>>28826562
To differentiate between part 1 and 3.
Part 1 = Dio
Part 3 = DIO
Same as The World and THE WORLD

>>28826562
Peacocking and aesthetic purposes. Japanese tends to romanize names in all caps for their host/hosthostess and wrestlers alike.

>>28826561

>>28827453

The one that was released in 1993 and then had a prequel in 2001? When SBR was released from 2004 to 2011, with AU Dio only appearing right at the end?

Yeah, he's going to bring back The World Dio not because he's an important character to the series and it created a nice twist with the stand reveal, but because people watched the OVAs and they somehow became more famous than one of the most iconic and longest running manga serializations enough to warrant shoehorning in a cameo, good shit fuckboy. Even if you're not the same poster, kill yourself.

>>28827453
I know, I talked about it.
But if you mean OVAs call them OVAs.

>>28825708
He's obviously doing the pose for the Dark type Z move

>>28826052
This is Ginyu Force levels of stupid posing.

>>28825708
His sword arm is aching. You wouldn't understand. Nobody understands.

he has assburgers

>>28825708
Probably just a generic pose like >>28825770 said, but it kind of reminds me of the pose that Naoya used in the first Persona to summon his Personas. At least, it was in artwork made for the PSP remake.

He was designed to be appealing and relatable to chuuni alike.

>>28826081

I actually finally watched the anime a few days ago. I tried getting into the manga a couple of years back but the startup was a bit slow so I dropped it. The anime was quite awesome, though I have to admit I preferred parts 1 and 2 over Stardust Crusaders.

>>28825708
he likes sniffing his hand

>>28825907

Jojo of course. Deniers will try to stay contrarian tho

IT ALL COMES TOGETHER

>>28830518
There are also more than just the type poses. If the mon gets a special Zmove, then that's another pose.

>>28830544
Then he must teach us Type: Null's Z-Move!
...or that of another Pokemon he has.

Nah you're right, there's nothing special to posing in JoJo. They just pose on the covers a lot, or when they win a fight.

No shit there's a lot of posing, what he said was there was nothing special to poses. They just, yah know, pose. It's not like toku shit where they pose to activate abilities.

Seriously though. How reaching can you be. Literally the ONLY thing in common is that they both have red and black on them... and not even the same color scheme! (One is black with red accents and the other is red with black accents.)

>>28833907
Well, he, Lillie and Lusamine are most likely related to each other (their features is way too similar). UB-01 looks like Lillie, UB-02 Beauty looks like Lusamine so it's not TOO far fetched to assume UB-02 Absorption has some link with the third relative. Sure it's still speculation but there are some basis
