OH MY GOD MY MIND IS FULL OF FUCK

MC = Kira
The girl sees him as a Josuke.

Maybe Kira reincarnated into Josuke?

That's exactly how I feel about Jojolion.
I still don't believe Yoshikage Kira is his real name.
And looks like there will soon be a stand fight with Joshuu.

Have you ever felt like your life was amazing while reading a manga?

That's Jojo's Bizarre Adventure for me.

In the May issue of Utra Jump there was a poster where he was called "brand new JOJO".
So it may turn out that Kira isn't his real name. Of course if he isn't called JoJo because of the nickname Yasuho gave him.

Well he could be like... YoJo if they take it from Yoshikage and Josuke.

Also I really think that the theory thestarwriters on YouTube came up with about villains truly being the heroes of this arc based on the music references might be true.

You haven't been online in 5 years, this thread itself is so old and I'll probably find out if I keep reading since there's been like 60 chapters released but I'll try anyway:

That youtube video you mentioned sounded really interesting but I can't find that user anywhere.
Some other jojo video makes reference to how "thestarwriters" bought them some Jojo copy but I can't find the account itself.

Do you know anything about it?
The connection between the musical references and that hero/vilain theme seems like something I'd love to hear more on (out of sheer curiousity)

Hey there, this is thestarwriters. The theory in question was regarding songs I predicted from before the first chapter, namely David Bowie's album Heroes, Joe the Lion, and Pink FLoyd's The Wall, Under Pressure by Queen and Bowie (why he sleeps under mattress). I also predicted that there would be a theme of Royalty through this which is also true and that Lady Gaga would be a reference from the 2nd chapter among many other things. The theory I made exploded when people realized in chapter 2 that the main Jojo in part is related to KIRA! I found these by studying music references, and putting together facts from SBR, other than that it is difficult of to explain, hope you understand. There was a manga reviewer on YouTube I helped share with him some scans so he could read and review them, and also another who I helped with a Jojo mugen compilation before ASB was announced. I can't find my old videos but had over 1 million views and many dozens of videos, I don't have them anymore but someone reuploaded the one I made for Iggy and Petshop with the song GO WEST originally by the village people, you can find it in youtube pretty easy.

If anyone else has any of the videos I made, PLEASE share them again, even I have lost them! Some where pretty cool too , like the Man in the Mirror and the Baby Face video How Come How Long? Come Together and the opening of Battle Tendency, and The ending of Phantom Blood with all the Fools Sailed Away, and The first encounter with Dio at the end of part 3 with Sacred Heart were some I made, and the list goes on an on. Among others, the Wekapipo one was viewed a lot, I have seen some others try to make similar videos, but they are simply not the same. It would take an awfully long time to explain all the findings but I hope this shed some insight. I have been quite busy studying the New Testament after being born again as a believer in Jesus Christ so please forgive me for my lack of service to Jojo, I did after all place 20th in the Jojoroyale and technically placed #1 non Japanese fan, but no one seems to care, so neither do I. I still read Jojolion however. Take care and may God bless you with wisdom!

Fascinating. I really love how Part 8, like Part 7, is much more plot-heavy than just characters fighting. Don't get me wrong, I love Jojo, and I absolutely love the fights in Jojo, but when there's only fighting, it gets tiring.
I'm really curious of why there will be fights in Part 8. Previous parts of Jojo had fights because the characters' interests conflicted with each other. But Part 8 simply seems to be about a guy trying to learn who he is. Why would characters fight because of that?

So the main character is Yoshikage Kira, but is nicknamed Josuke? Normally there's not as much mystery so early on, but I'm loving it

I like how this part feels like a mystery story. Truly something the series didn't have before. There is no way he's actually called Kira Yoshikage given the star mark on his back. It's just the name he gave the hat guy anyway, could be a fake one. Especially since there seems to be somebody in the house oO

The protagonist is super weird. He remembers basic knowledge, but he doesn't know how to use a bed and he can measure everything just by looking at it. Wonder if that's just a natural ability of him or due to his stand. The stand ability itself seems pretty neat to. "Taking away something" can be used in lots of ways I feel like. Can't wait to see what Araki does with that.

And the appeal of borrowing so many elements from Diamond is Unbreakable becomes immediately apparent here, the entire sense of dramatic tension here is reliant on us knowing Part 4. Granted, Kira is a pretty dark coded name already, but the context of DiU makes this chapter work so much stronger.

Jo2uke was characterized more strongly here, like the note of him sleeping under the mattress. Can't say I can much about his measurement quirk, but having this sort of peculiarity to his personality definitely makes him stand out more. Find his dynamic with Yasuho entertaining too, especially the bit about the spare key.
