Manga: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

[Terracosmo]

Though I'm probably just beating a dead horse, I'll still inform you that another 10 chapters has been released for this brilliant manga.

Volume 55 is now complete, and 56 is halfway done.

[PSJ]

The newest chapters are fucking awesome (74-84, part 5). I can't believe how much drama and action he can pack into just 10 chapters, any other manga will feel like a sloppy kids work compared to this masterpiece. There were 2 unexpected turns in this batch which is alot for 10 chapters. If you haven't downloaded them yet go do it. They are avaible at jojo.highervoltage.net

This series is indeed something else. The battles are simply amazing, each as unpredictable as the last, and most of them revolve around strategy more than anything else. The characters, too, are also amazingly diverse, and their Stands even more so, especially during and after Part IV (the power to attach zippers to anything is top tier).

But, I seem to have run into an obstacle of sorts... So far I've read all of what's been scanslated so far from Part III to the most recent in Part VI (not yet sure I should start Steel Ball Run), and I'm curious to how the whole thing started. Problem is, the Ignition One site seems to be completely threadbare at the moment, and I'm wondering where else I may find Parts I and II. Thanks in advance.

[PSJ]

Both me and Terra got them, i could offer to send them, problem is that i don't have them on this comp but on another one that isn't hooked to the internet at the moment. Ask Terra nicely and i'm sure he will do it, if not i'll send you a PM once my other comp is online again.

[Terracosmo]

3 new chapters out, 88-90!

Gogogo!

[PSJ]

Yay! Some more awesomeness coming up.

[bagandscalpel]

@PSJ: Thank you for the offer, however, recently I've discovered I could actually download Jojo from the mangatraders site (who'd thunk it???).

Well, at any rate, I can now read the entire series. First impression from Volume #1 is: Dio is the biggest asshole in the world and Jonathan (knowing what would happen to him later) seems to be getting shafted... a lot.

[Terracosmo]

Indeed, Dio is the biggest asshole in the world. Just you wait though, what he does later on in the part is even worse.

[Terracosmo]

91-93 out. Finishing the current fight and instantly starting the next one.

Goddamn, Narancia kicks ass.

[Terracosmo]

Vol 57 is finished and 5 chapters of vol 58 also. So like 8 new chapters or so.

And no, I will never quit bumping this thread. APPRECIATE THE DAMN SERIES YOU MORONSSSS!!!!

[Dark Dragon]

It is sad that this manga is unpopular and yet there are still people willing to put up and watch Naruto fillers, there too many great masterpiece that is underated.

[bagandscalpel]

I'd have to agree with you, there. Unfortunately, it would seem as though the whole vampiric "WRYYYYYY" is more popular than the series itself (and was the means by which I was drawn into the series). Naruto's good and all, but I think it's about time the orange jacketed, blonde-haired one stopped using the Rasengan, and started mashing people with steamrollers... Only then, I speculate, would Jojo get the audience it deserves.

As good as Jojo is, my only qualm would be that every preceding Jojo gets nerfed, horribly, in every subsequent storyline.

[RasenDori]

well all the previous jojos get so crazy strong by the end of their part of the series it would be uninterresting if they didnt get nerfed. especially jotaro. he would own everyone.

[Terracosmo]

Jotaro was still pretty damn awesome in part 4 though, and in part 6 he is even more feared by everyone. The way he lost his powers was really just a fluke.

[bagandscalpel]

Clarification time~

In retrospect, I think my complaint only truly deals with two of the Joestar clan: Joseph and Jotaro. Seeing as how Jonathan died in the first part, this can't be applied to him. Josuke, though cool, lives in the imaginary town of Morioh Cho, and therefore ceases to exist after his part's finished along with everybody else (save Koichi, whom by association with the God of BadAssitude, Jotaro, can exist outside Morioh Cho); therefore, the argument's moot in his case. GioGio, probably doesn't return in Part VI (I wouldn't know, I haven't gotten that far, yet; though it seems to be the case), and therefore can't be discussed. Finally, a true sequel to Part VI hasn't even been written, yet.

As Terra pointed out, Jotaro still retains his "Za Warudo" level of awesomeness to some extent after Part III... So as it turns out, the one I truly hurt for is Joseph. I mean, after Part II, there's pretty much nothing to dislike about him (tommygun in the jacket pocket was indeed nice), and he even beat the Supreme Lifeform, to boot. Alas, in every part after that in which you see the guy, he gets worse and worse... first getting shafted with the poor-man's Stand, and then becoming a wrinkled old shell of his former self who felt he had to kill himself after failing to earn his son's respect. Bah, that was long.

[Terracosmo]

True, true. But hey, I guess that's what they call development. I enjoy all of Joseph's different incarnations for various reasons. In part 3 & 4 he's just plain hilarious, and in part 2 he is, of course, the most badass guy around.

Come to think of it, part 2 really did kick a lot of ass. Ceasar has to be one of the best supporting characters.

Oh and about the new part 5 chapters:

Awaken, Spice Girl!

[Terracosmo]

Good ol' bumpaliciousness...

Chapters out all the way to volume 59, chapter 6.

The preceding ones can as always be obtained at the JoJo downloading site hosted by Highervoltage.

AWESOME STUFF.

It made me cry.

[bagandscalpel]

Great chapters; Metallica's just like Magneto (except on a local scale)!

Silly Doppio, everybody knows the only thing you can find behind a rock in the open is an electrical outlet.

And a salute to Abacchio, the new Kakyoin. There hasn't really been something quite like this since Part III.

[Terracosmo]

Doppio is so hilarious... I love how he mixes in that silly humor during the fight. Fights between two badguys are automatically ultra awesome, too.

And yes.. Abacchio

[bagandscalpel]

The end-all of Jojo villains.



...Because someone with this power simply can't be a protagonist.
