Looks to be inspired by the Sendai earthquake. o.o Then again it's not really surprising seeing how Morioh is based on Sendai...

By the way I know it's early to speculate but does anyone else get the feeling that Joushuu and Yasuho might be Irene's parents? I mean Joushuu looks kinda Jotaro-ish and Yasuho uses Jolyne's catchphrase there.

Judging from the summary, it's not Joushuu. Higashikata Joushuu is the guy whose eyes exploded. The naked guy's name is still a mystery.
Nice theory. The only problem is that Yasuho has a pretty modern phone, so in our world it should be about the time Stone Ocean takes place. But it's alternative universe, so who knows...

Oh wait yeah I confused Joushuu with the sailor guy. -_- There has just never been a side character whose name contains "JoJo" before.

And yeah that modern phone thing too. :l Yeah you're right. Still I hope we get some connection to Stone Ocean with this part. Or maybe this part takes place after Stone Ocean's ending. I can't wait to see where this goes. :D

Four testicles, something that may be a remaining part of the corpse (?!), genderswapped Hirose, direct references to the earthquake + tsunami, etc.

Oh boy, Araki is going all out in the first chapter. Interesting start.

Personally, I found his actions understandable, except for hitting Yasuho. After all, he saw the girl he loves lying on the ground with some naked man.

Still it's not JoJoish at all to not even listen. And he has that usual ugly look of all jerks in JJBA. :l

Although something hit me just now. Josuke was alive by the time of Stone Ocean's ending so shouldn't he be in this universe as himself?

Well, we don't even know for sure that SBR, JoJolion and the final chapters of Stone Ocean take place in the same universe. And even if so, there may be no Josuke here. Or something else. Only Araki knows.

Ah, and don't forget, Josuke was 1/2 Joestar.

If Josuke is a 1/2 joestar than so are all the others. Unless you get some inbreeding going on or something. So I dunno what Rinso is talking about lol.

Good start. I like how this seems to be set in a world with techical advancements, considering the use of the iPhone. 4 balls, trust Araki to come up with something bizarre (no pun intended) like that.

I dig the buck teeth. It's unique, and it's nice to see a JoJo protagonist who's not a total sex bomb, unless you're into buck teeth of course. With the possible exception of Josuke all previous JoJo protagonists have been pretty damn nice looking (even Jolyne was quite cute, despite Araki's manly drawing style).

Interesting premise. We've already got a unique Jojo protoganist with amnesia, some great world building and a bizarre mystery set up.

I didn't think a start to a JoJo part could be so odd. The rest start out normalish, but a naked JoJo with someone biting their star birthmark crawling out of a whole in the ground with only a sailor hat on. Bonus: he has amnesia and also 4 balls (2x2 balls).

Restarting Jojolion since it finally seems to be nearing the end! Didn't get far before since I wasn't that motivated with no end in sight.

This must be the oddest start for a JoJo part and that's saying something. A naked guy with four balls, walls with eyes, a bitemark wound, bubbles that takes the sight of a person... It's a pretty weird start. The creepy boyfriend dude having a JoJo name doesn't sit right with me, but I doubt he has a star mark on his back.

It's been a long time JoJo. Back in 2015, I went through and read all of JoJo that hasn't been adapted but I stopped after Steel Ball Run because I didn't want to catch up and read it monthly. Six years later, JoJolion finally ended and I can finally read it.

I'll admit, another reason I stopped after Steel Ball Run because I wasn't really fond of what I've heard about JoJolion, I wasn't really into how much is was taken from Part 4 or the amnesia plot-line, but none of that really matters if the execution is different, and a devastated Morioh and Mr. 4 Balls being an outsider presumably, rather than a resident are strong distinctions.

The first chapter here definitely leans on the bizarreness factor more than anything else, and it's okay. I've hear people don't like Joshu and I already agree (though his arm movement trick was cool), the JoJo himself is a mystery, but I do like Yasuho so far at least, framing the first chapter around here was interesting.

And yeah, the four balls ending is a funny mystery note that you'd only find in JoJo's..

Sorry for my english xD!
