Well, he literally has no objective other than to be the Big Bad right now.Originally Posted by poopdeville
It's not like Kars, who wanted the stone. Dio has already basically achieved whatever it was he wanted. All he really needs to do is kill the Joestars when they show up. And he's not going to go out after them because, then we wouldn't have a story arc.
Also, he still dies in sunlight, so that's a good excuse not to travel much.

So apparently, the reason it seems like the whole "naming characters after musicians" thing has been dropped is because whoever is doing the subtitles is changing the names.
This Soul Sacrifice character's name is supposed to be Devo. And that Captain Dragon from 2 episodes ago was actually Captain Tennile.
The episodic nature of this season of jojo is really tiring. :/
I want more elaborate fights, more actual danger and stuff. This feels like "monster of the week"-crap.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Yeah but if they're all tarot cards there's SO many monsters of the week!
There's what, like 78 cards in a Tarot Deck?
Having only, like 3 enemies in an entire arc was also fine when you only had two protagonists.
Once you have 5 protagonists, you need more enemies yo!
They're only going with the Major Arcana cards, so there aren't that many to go through. It sucks that the subber decided to change the character names around. Who cares if 13yo don't get or care about old school musician names.

You sad little shit. Not only can you not accept different opinions, you also have to resort to anonymous insults on my rep page. Seriously? If I felt the need to insult any member here, I would do it in public.And i want you to shut the hell up

I would give the Japanese a little more credit, we're used to this style of storytelling but apparently this was one of the first tales to be told this way in manga (maybe the first?). I think the Fist of the North Star author was inspired by part III's art and fighting styles, it is kind of apparent. We're so used to it everything seems cliche but back then it must have been incredibly interesting as something entirely new.
I'm pretty sure the reasoning for the changes is fear of legal action, not that people wouldn't get the references.
So basically, it's suffering from the Seinfeld is Unfunny trope.
I'm to assume that the first run got received some legal issues then? They left those in, after all.

No idea. It might have to do with the specific names that are being used. And they're just changing the names of the ones that might be problematic.
Ronnie James Dio probably didn't have a copyright on the name Dio(also, he's dead). Whereas The Captain and Tennille probably is.
Especially given that The Captain's real name is Daryl Dragon. So calling him Captain Dragon is the translator still referencing the same musician, just without using the probably copywritten name of his act.
I don't see why HorribleSubs would give a shit. They already translate the "don't copy" warning verbatim. And the Japanese script clearly said "Devo", but Horrible changed that name too.
On a different note, this week's episode reminded me of the Richard Matheson short story titled "Prey". And it creeped me out a little bit. Maybe because I watched Chucky 2 when I was like 8.
"After all, I am strangely colored."
It was pretty creepy, particularly because Silver Chariot was minor enough a character that he could well die (until you remember that he's got that mission to find the 2-RHand-man).

HorribleSubs doesn't actually translate anything. They just rip video from other streaming sites.
In this instance, they're probably ripping Crunchyroll, who actually license the anime they stream, So they're probably using the "official" subtitles.
I know Soul Sacrifice is the name that Viz Media gave to Devo, so I'm guessing their in charge of the translations.
this current jojo is the worst piece of shit "hero" ever. watches as kakyoin is killing the thief (who looked oddly healthy afterwards). Reallly?!

I'm not sure guys, but I THINK this Centerfold guy might actually be named J. Geils.
I think we need some gifs of Kakyoin eating that cherry.
I don't think he's intended to be a hero. He's apathetic. If his mother wasn't dying, he wouldn't even be doing any of this.

He's a tsundere. He tries to act all cold, but always does the right and heroic thing in the end. He did in fact save the little girl from drowning, the thief, and is trying to save his mother who he always acted cold to, and the world on the side.
Peace.

That sucks...
Seems like The Hanged Man can only attack you when your reflection is visible in something. Interesting that it's invisibility seems to extend to the user as well.
The Emperor is a cool Stand. Can't go wrong with curving bullets.
i hope this marks the turning point in the story where things get more dangerous and life theatening.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Agreed. If Avdol somehow resurrects from this, I will be severely disappointed.
Peace.
I think it's more likely than not that Avdol will resurrect from this. There was a strange "evaporation" going on when he was held by Kakyoin. His stand is also a fire bird, so it's entirely possible. It already had an impact on me this episode, so I'll forgive them since I've already adjusted to the mildness of this current arc.
That was an interesting scene. When it was raining you could see Centrefold, but when the rain stopped you couldn't. I suppose that means that Centrefold can make himself invisible (but I'm sure that he himself remains visible in the reflection), but that screws up when it rains.
