I don't understand why my post would get deleted from agreeing with another post and then saying that the ED was sweet. Apparently there's some sort of post quality threshold on these forums that I haven't heard of.

Hmm, so the 'Stands' are some sort of curse in the Joestar bloodline awakened when Dio took control of Jonathan's body.


That interpretation is specifically for the Joestar Bloodline anyway. A person can develop a Stand from birth.


For the Stand, there are three way for have a stand:

the first is at Birth like Advol.

Second:



Three: Brand amily/birthmark
The Joestars / Kujo have a stand because of the birthmark of Joestar. Basically, this is because of the connection of the brand family. You remove Dio(or not have the body of Jonathan) and none would develop a stand in the Joestar familly.

I'm sure you're joking, but he's just referring to Dio's inhuman scent, not that he'd be a woman or something. He's referring to "man" as "human".

Everyone is gay for Dio, even if they act like they're not. It's unavoidable.

No. This is "man" as in "male", not "man" as in "human". That sentence means exactly as it sounds like.
Dio is incredibly sexy to everyone regardless of sexual orientation. This is canon and is a very important plot point.

Oh yeah, I actually missed the "a" before the "man". That does change a little bit.
I'm aware of this plot point, I just didn't think it was related to this.

Yeah Joseph definitely lost the Stand lottery. It's just about the most useless Stand (as far as battle prowess goes) to ever be introduced in all of the parts. But that's because it's really nothing but a plot device to begin with (so some other plot device Stands later on also have no fighting capabilities).

Josephs stand is actually pretty practical, it can do more things than just take spirit-photos, you´ll see.

@Akanezora

Oh I wonder how that fight will turn out in the anime. Hopefully they´ll tweak it a little to make it more awesome.^^

Slow episode, but the pace at the speed it needed to be. Next episode the pace will pick back up again, with possibly two fights.

Regarding Hermit Purple: as Grandy said, it was designed to get the plot ball rolling, but Joseph does find some good use for it inside of combat later on. Probably the main reason it wasn't designed to have a combat focus however is so Joseph didn't take too much of the focus away from Jotaro and Star Platinum. After all, this is the first part with more than one Joestar as a main protagonist.

Where does it say anything about Jojo a gogo? Its just a baseless theory someone posted in the wiki, and even says at the top of the section that it's based on information from a light novel not written by Araki, and therefore not canon

It's likely that Araki has changed the power of Dio's stand midway through the part.
We see him using his power many times before it get explained but the explanation doesn't match with what he was able to do (unless we come out with some ridiculous and comical ideas of how he could use his power to do those things).

Haha, touche. Although he only purple after one of david's awesome signature color shifts. Which, by the way, having a color change as Jotaro swipes the brim of his hat was awesome :D

Solid action and extremely sounen-ish story. Hopefully it picks up soon.. still an 8 with a potential 9 (maybe 10 if it can truly become epic as hyped)

I wouldn't really classify JoJo as typical shounen even though it is listed as such.

Looking forward to more ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORARARARA!!

I would like to reiterate a point that someone has said already earlier in this thread: Joseph`s stand does more than just take pictures. It can be used in battle in a very unique way. I hope I`m not spoiling too much but I just didn`t want people to think that`s all he can do.

Plus I think Joseph has way more personality even as an old man than Jotaro/

I can only comment on what I've seen my friend, as I have not read any of the manga. Also, don't take that as me hating on Joseph. Joseph is my fravorite JoJo, from the small pool of JoJo's I can choose from, although Jotaro still has a lot more episodes to grow and get me to like him.

Good opening 3 episodes, stands are a good idea and are going to lead to some amazing battle scenes.

I am also very happy that joseph is in it, i didnt think he would be.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that lisa lisa is long dead now, wish we could have seen more of her in action, that's my only disappointment really :P

ahh..Lisa Lisa the badest MILF in the shounen manga/anime. She did have a time to shine though when she was killing those minion vampires with her scarf….but yeah…that`s not enough.

On the other hand, I am kind of happy that she got settled with Holywood producer and led a normal life without need to use her ripples. I don`t think she ever got to do things normal people do so it`s about time she gets to do those things again.

I mean if she WAS alive in SC, ..do you really wanna see her at her age? Even Joseph looks old and Lisa Lisa is easily at least 30yrs older lol. I know that ripple is supposed to keep you young but….cummon now.
