Gappy's "The winner is meee" pose seems to become a trait of his; I really like how he develops more personality the more he gains new experience after his memory wipe. Well written and a welcome addition to the Jojo MCs.

Also, stag beetle fights are indeed serious business and very exciting. it seems like we may see Jobin's ability next time.
Steel Ball Run anime when?

A manga break and the anime's gonna break soon too? Oh boy
At least Araki has a month to recharge

Still in awe of how JoJo made bugs fighting so awesome. When Josuke's stag lifted up Jobin's, I was hollering and cheering it on.

Anyway a good chapter. The beetle fight was pretty exciting and I'm looking forward to see Jobin's reaction after this. Also, Gappy is indeed developing personality through the story, which is a really wonderful thing.

Too bad nothing JoJo next month.

So, how having Jobin to shave his eyebrow will make him tell Gappy the fruit's tree location?

Because Gappy wants him to lose composure since Tsurugi mentioned that if he feels cornered or wounded of pride then, he might say something about the fruit's tree location.

Ah so they are playing with something on the line this time. Nice, I think that adds to the excitement of the game just like the way I like it. The beetle duel was intense indeed. I've never seen one before ofc.

>1 month of no Jojo
Bloody hell.

Joushuu's commentary was hilarious!

A great chapter... I was very excited about the bug fight and I wasn't disappointed.
The only thing that is disappointing is that there is no JoJo next month...

I love how Jobin stares at his brother after he quotes Aida Mitsuo _again_. You can tell he's thinking "Come on Joshuu, SAY IT".
Also in this page you can see the exact moment in which his pride shattered to pieces: http://www.batoto.net/read/_/268037/jojos-bizarre-adventure-part-8-jojolion_ch35_by_hi-wa-mata-noboru/24 , very expressive indeed


And so we have to wait until November to see Jobin shave his eyebrow. why does he keep a pocket knife with him anyway

The beetle arc is hands down my favorite arc in all of Jojolion.

I just love the psychological nature of this duel between Josuke and Jobin.

It's honestly just a battle of wits to outsmart the other.

It makes for an entertaining battle.

I love how sneaky and strategic Gappy is.

Why do I have the feeling that Jobin is as serious as Koshibe Rohan when it comes to competition? Wonder if he'll also try to find out how Josuke's cheating, haha.

Curious where it goes from here. Will there be another bug fight? Josuke only has one and it's already hurt, so that would be a bit unfair.

Got to applaud how exciting that beetle fight was, I felt legitimately gripped, and Jo2uke's use of his Stand ability was excellent. This sort of reminds me of the I Am an Alien arc from the DiU, that was one of my favourite story arcs, and it's same here. Using stand abilities to cheat in more standard gambling game affairs is just exciting.

Did Jobin not think to also use the pheromones? Or was he just thinking Josuke wouldn't have any idea and he got complacent?

Now I really wish I had a stand ability I can use playing poker. Schizo ghost powers would be so fucking overpowered in real life.
