| Rohan Kishibe Does Not Shout Chapter 2: Blackstar. Discussion - Finally able to read this chapter after my friend Cinda from Discord translated it. I read the first draft, but it was enough for me to mark it "completed" on here, so I'll give my thoughts. This chapter was very interesting, as all of the TSKR Short Stories that have been translated have been so far. The setup of the mystery and the ever-increasing danger that the "Spaghetti Man" poses to Rohan really piqued my interest, and his final encounter with this entity was really entertaining and shocking! Just by looking at the content of the story, I might say this is my favorite of the four chapters I've read so far. Just like the other three, this one contains the story about something more or less forbidden. "Kushagara" was the story of a forbidden word, "Censored Equation" was the story of a forbidden equation, and "Golden Melody" was the story of a melody that might as well be forbidden to listen to. "Blackstar." is about the real-life theoretical alternative to the black hole. In the story, the author personifies it as the "Spaghetti Men" who torment Rohan. It was very fun to read the story wondering whether or not this was a Stand attack or some strange alternate supernatural power. The way it's described at the end, as Morioh being a lake, the blackholes being the fishing rod, and the Spaghetti Man being the bait was crazy to think about, and the tenth dimensional being casting this lure orchestrating it was really something to ponder for a while. Agent Gabrielle, the new character introduced in this chapter, happened to be from the Supernatural Investigation Unit in the Speedwagon Foundation, which also happens to be the same section Lisa Lisa was the head of in the short story "Rey Infinito." Interesting! Overall liked this chapter a lot, and really looking forward to reading more.  |

GGPoke said: I've been meaning to read the Rohan light novels for some time, do you know which are translated of the short stories? These will probably be the last of the jojo LN's that I read, since they don't seem to have complete translations yet and are still releasing Hi there! So far four of the eleven out (soon to be twelve) are translated and one is kinda shotty. My discord is in my profile if you want to message me on there I can give you more info! |
