| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- So after how many years, I decided to re-read all of JoJo again... whooooooooooo this will take a while! Dio is still Dio as ever, but I had completely forgotten about Jonathan's story aside from the bits they kept reminding us of later, so it's kind of nice to reread. Plus at 44 chapters, it won't really take that long to get through Phantom Blood. |
  |
| Well the beginning was kind of a blur to me other than some ancient people doing stuff, and Jojo being really rich and not being that strong. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Obviously I've heard a lot about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, but I've never watched/read/played anything related. So this is my first exposure to it. JoJo seems too full of himself. Wants to protect everyone etc. Same goes for Dio, but instead of wanting to protect everyone, he only cares about himself and is a scumbag. Wonder what will become of them. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Dio, as evil as ever. Almost as good as the anime adaption so far. |
 |
| The beginning of JoJo, a series that has quickly become one of my favorites, definitely among battle shonen, which is why it's such a shame that Phantom Blood sucks. The first chapter was mildly different from the anime adaption which I'm familiar with (which omitted the prologue & moved some scenes around). One chapter in & it doesn't seem like I'll be enjoying this any more than I enjoyed the anime, which isn't surprising but a little upsetting. Oh well, I want to read something while I wait for more of Part 4 to get colored. |
| Lol, two polar opposite dudes meet. Dio's father was an asshole. 4/5 |
 |
| Good 'ol douchebag Dio... |
 |
| Wow JoJonium was well worth the money. JoJo attempting to fight off Erin's bullies was my favourite part. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Dio is a bad kid!!!! :/ |
| Jonathan 💟💟 *30 characters* |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| Yeah JoJo, forget about your dog getting knocked the fuck out by our new houseguest. Manners, boy. |
 |
| Well, the part with the Aztecs wasn't in the anime. At least as far as I can remember... |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Since the Vento Aureo anime's coming out in less than a week after 2 years and it might take just as long for Stone Ocean to get adapted as well, I think that it's about time I start the manga right from the start to finally get the full golden JoJo experience. I might've not liked this one as much as the others but this one's the granddaddy responsible for being the maiden voyage of one of the greatest manga series of all time so I better pay respects! It might be me having bad memory like Araki or it wasn't shown in the anime but I'm surprised that the Aztec Stone Masks were given the spotlight right away but the real question is why the Joestars would have such a questionable thing with them. George was so naivé that he basically gave up everything he had at the moment to a petty scavenger oof. Jonathan revealing his handkerchief must've been a subtle way of showing that he's proud of his family name even if he'll get beat up for it and that's noble. Little did he know that brat Dio would go beyond being a dog-kicker and turn into the biggest misfortune he'd ever meet... |
 |
| His father was a scumbag but Dio ain't a saint either, poor Danny! |
 |
| The manga is also as epic as the anime. Watched the anime and reading the manga now because vento auro is airing and might move on to the next part 6 in the manga cause I cant wait for two long years, gyahh I absolutely hate Dio. |
   I want you to be happy. I want you to laugh a lot. I don’t know what exactly I’ll be able to do for you, but I’ll always be by your side. |
| And so, I start Jojo. This was enjoyable. I laughed so hard when the bullies were saying if this is a Joestar then we'll punch his teeth out.. and then he took out the handkerchief with his name on it and proceeded to immediately get beat up more. I wasn't under the impression he thought about it, but then Erina mentioned it and made me think it was more than that. Like someone here said, it's possible and I think implied it was a way of Jonathan not hiding who he is even if it gets him beat up. He did say he wanted to be a squire and a squire mustn't sit back even when at a disadvantage. So it may have been in his code to not back down, as well as some pride for his own family. I like it, that's a telling thing about him. He seems a little wholesome, determined, but physically weak. He also has a code to follow! Then there's Dio, first seen reading a book, second seen spitting on his father's grave. He's intelligent, cold, and collected. He moved very elegantly off that carriage. And I love his design, he looks super cool. His father telling Dio to go live with the Joestars was maybe a sign he did care for his son to some degree. It could just be him wanting his own bloodline to continue strong, but it could be more. Interestingly, he told Dio to become wealthy and he decided to do so, but I'd say by spitting on his grave and insulting him it was a way of saying he'll do it for himself. I bet he's had a hard life. His goal, to exploit every opportunity to become powerful and wealthy, the first course of action, I'd say to get Jonathan as the heir out of the picture and make the Joestar fortune his and his alone. Both the bullies in Jonathan's section and Dio and his father seem to already be playing at class conflicts. As the narrator said, everyone dreams to be rich, Dario died thinking he hadn't accomplished anything and was willing to strip rich corpses of their goods and even their teeth. The bullies would hate Jonathan even more if he was the rich heir to the Joestars, and they mocked Erina asking if her daddy bought something for her. Dio has already been touched on. And duh, I must talk about the Aztec Sun People and their ritualistic blood mask which takes living blood as a sacrifice to latch into the brain and give people strength and life force stealing powers. Somehow I feel Dio will get his hands on that on his journey. Why it traveled all the way to the Joestars is an interesting question, maybe by coincidence it made its way into their hands. The chief said it gave eternal life but I'll say for now we probably can't accept the rumors about it as absolute. The mask seems to latch onto people like a parasite. |
| Finished the part 1 manga, thoroughly disappointed. It wasn't bad, but I believe people around me hyped up JoJo too much for me and I was expecting much more. Didn't like Jonathan at all, plus the motives seemed a bit meh to me. |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| Having just watched the anime, I must say that they did a great adaptation of the manga. It was very faithful. I'm reading the colored version, and is really beautiful. Poor dog, that was a powerful kick. |
| On the journey of my JoJo's Bizarre Adventure re-read and I'm already loving it just like I did when I first started JoJo, if not even more. JoJo is my favorite series of all time, in fact, it's my favorite THING of all time. I just love all the characters and just everything Araki created. Can't wait to see the entire journey that spanned over a hundred years that started with two young boys again. Might take a while to read because I'm reading other things but I'll definitely have finished it all again eventually. |
| First time reading Jojo. Wanna see if I would like it. Didn't watch the anime yet. If the manga is amazing will watch it and give it a chance |
| Genitalman Joestar vs Dickhead Brando. Hoping for an actual bizarre experience reading this |
Gang... you might wanna take a look at this... Its jojo time |
