The manga ended 14 years ago. The mods should know better by now. Can we get it fixed before the anime begins airing?

The franchise. But yeah, MAL is inconsistent with how they do these relations, it's not new. They generally use them for plain timeline indications, but not always.

Sequel is not always a continuation of the prequel. It can also mean the expansion of the same universe and as far as I know JoJo is not isekai.

@Lucifrost That was simply to advertise to a newer audience. It is official the 7th part of the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure series, but it has no correlation to Parts 1-6, and can be enjoyed as it's own series, along with 8 and 9.

Just because it's "Part 7" doesn't mean it's a sequel. It's a reboot, which I'm surprised no one's brought up yet.

How so? While the timeline did reset in Part 6, Part 7's events still do occur after the events of Part 6, even if not chronologically. That alone should make it a sequel.

@ThunderMite42 So it is an alternative setting then
"Chimp in state of nature never jerks off, but in captivity he does, wat does this mean? In state of nature he’s too busy, to put plainly. He is concerned with mastering space: solving problem of life in and under trees, mastering what tools he can, mastering social relations in the jockeying for power and status. Deprived of this drive to development and self-increase he devolves to pointless masturbation, in captivity, where he senses he is in owned space and therefore the futility of all his efforts and all his actions."

it builds upon already established concepts and stars alternate takes on existing characters. it's perfectly watchable on its own, sure, but this doesn't mean it's not a sequel. the definition of the word "sequel" isn't so narrow as to necessarily exclude stories that aren't a direct continuation of the plot of the previous work in the series. we call that a "standalone sequel"

The MAL database does in fact use this narrow definition of the word "sequel."

@Lucifrost the mere fact that there are examples of the opposite (look at the jojo manga, for example) means this isn't necessarily true. unless there is some specific rule on the site that you can point me to that states otherwise, there's nothing wrong with calling "part 7" of a particular series a "sequel". it's not a clear cut category and your dog won't die because of this. if you're concerned about people thinking that this is a direct continuation of the previous parts plot-wise, that's easily fixable by just pointing out that it's a new continuity in the summary.

I kind of agree that this should be labeled as "Alternative setting" to part 1, since MAL already has this designation. Though I kind of think it can be labeled as both that and sequel to part 6.

@Lucifrost My bad if it's not lol. I haven't actually read the manga. Just assumed that that was the case based on Part 6's ending.
I thought that it was just a case of fans thinking that a soft-reboot means that it can't be a sequel.

Not really. You need to watch Parts 1 and 2 to understand the context for the future parts 3-6. 3-6 are needed to help understand not only Stands but Pucci’s plans with the universe in Stone Ocean which leads to SBR. You need all the parts to understand it all.
