Not too sure how I didn't come to this conclusion sooner…
...but after watching the latest SD episode I honestly believe that Polnareff CANNOT be left unsupervised.
And how the others haven't come to this conclusion utterly baffles me.
"Hey Jotaro, have you seen Polnareff"
"Now that you mention it… not for a while"
EMERGENCY!!! STOP FUCKING AROUND AND FIND HIM!
They were all too busy hanging out with Abdul's cool dad
@Purple:
All the Korra finale stuffs made me forget there was another episode, but before we get on that
Korra is for p*ssy. Jojo's for tough man. You disapoint me jojo bro.
In case you´re crazy enough to search for all the songs used in that video Funk posted, here´s another link.
There´s a comment from 3 months ago with all of them.
Dammit, next epsiode is High Priestess Part 1. That destroys my theory, we won't be seeing N'Doul until next year.
Now, how are they going to expand on HP. I would love them to add Midler's moveset from the game. As in the fight moves to land and she attack's them with cars and other vehicles. Or they could add the DIO scene with Hol Horse at the end, to hype up his stand.

OH NOOOOO! SON OF A BITCH! I'll have to wait so long to see anime watchers react to the Boston Terrier!
I still believe High Priestess isn't good enough of a fight to take the break on, unless they massively pimp it out with high quality filler scenes.
High Priestess is 4 chapters, so it'll probably be 2 chapters per episode as opposed to the usual 3. I think they might be able to squeeze in a teaser for Iggy in the last episode (The Emperor and the Hanged Man Part 2 episode contained 4 chapters, including the first chapter of The Empress).

It's 3.5 chapters actually, half of the first chapter is Abdul meeting the rest of the group. There's no way they can extend it to two episodes without heavy filler. So they might go all out and heavily change the fight, personally I won't complain.
True. They could also add more stuff for Midler since Araki didn't really show her or explained much of her (at least from what I can remember).

English version of JoJonium 1

is there english versions being released? Before the manga volumes lol

It's not quite 3 and a half chapters for High Priestess. The reveal of the sub happens on page 8 of the chapter, so there are 10 whole pages left in the chapter, so there's a bit more than half to adapt.
Also, while it IS only ABOUT 3.6 chapters for what's left High Priestess by itself, remember that the first chapter of "Iggy the Fool and N'Doul the Geb" has practically nothing to do with N'Doul beyond lightly teasing him at the end of the chapter. That ENTIRE Chapter is taken up by introducing Iggy.
If we add that chapter to it, now we have 4.6 chapters to adapt into two episodes and as well.
Now, the 2nd chapter of the Iggy & N'Doul arc also happens to start with some more explanation and setup. Up to page 4 is a lot of really good exposition that sortof sets up the status quo they have entering Egypt. It establishes Iggy as a member of the team, It establishes they only have 2 weeks left, and it establishes that they have 9 new Stand users to fight. The next 4 pages ending on page 8 ends with a tease of N'Doul as he kills that fly before cutting to the Joestar party driving towards Cairo.
IMO, this is the absolute BEST moment to end the episode and it fits perfectly. If you add those 8 pages, then we have exactly 5 chapters worth of material that can be adapted into the two High Priestess episodes. If they want they can also pad it with a bit of filler including maybe even showing us Midler since she HAS an Araki-drawn character design thanks to the Heritage for the Future Arcade/PS1/Dreamcast game, but you otherwise don't get to see her in-series at all. All in all, I think High Priestess should be taking up the first High Priestess episode as well as the first half of the second, after the eyecatch should be the Iggy stuff. A good cliffhanger to end the first High Priestess episode on I think would be the moment where you get that zoom out of the underwater face right at the end of the High Priestess Part 3 manga chapter.
But if they do what I'm saying here (Which is really what I've been advocating for a while) then it's the PERFECT ending point for the season. That way we have the entire status quo for the next season laid out as a tease, PLUS if they want they can include that last 4 pages and tease N'Doul as their first fight next time and it'd work perfectly.

Jojonium will be my first experience with the manga, so I can't wait for them to come out (only have watched the anime so far).

Yeah, I can see this happening as well. The only thing is that they have been respecting the manga titles a lot until now, and it wouldn't make much sense to have en episode called "High Priestess Part 2" where only less than half of it is about High Priestess. There's always a first time, though.

Do you mean the JoJoniums being released in the US before the corresponding tankobons? Because instead of releasing the tankobons, Viz decided to release these.
@Ike79:

Tower of Gray was about half an episode and the latter half was them having dinner and introducing Polnareff, so they're not unfamiliar with using a manga title that half the episode is about.
Wait so what are jojoniums? I thought they we're collectors books?
They're basically Kanzenbans with really wonky covers
Ah ok. I wonder how much they will be? I wasn't planning on getting all the jojo volumes because I already have most of part 3 and getting all of then will make it like 100+ volumes but I don't mind getting this. Do they have any extra's inside or is it just literally the chapters and that's it
They're $15 on Amazon. Along with the bigger paper size, it also comes with color pages and special comments by Araki.
Almost definitely worth the low price.

But there is no manga chapter called "Tower of gray", the naming starts with the Silver Chariot arc.
But there is no manga chapter called "Tower of gray", the naming starts with the Silver Chariot arc.
The entire original Weekly Shonen Jump run had different names for each Chapter. For example, Silver Chariot Part 1 was called "The Dangerous Lunch Time".
The notion of naming the chapters after the particular Stand they were fighting came when the series was reprinted in Tankoban format. Some kind of a mistake was made however and Volume 13 didn't get the updated titles like it was supposed to. This is why most scanlations use the old names because most scans come from the Tankoban. The updated titles for the Tanko Volume 13 Chapters didn't get used until the next re-release of the series, which I believe was the Bunkoban that started to come out in 2002.
That release has the updated titles for the chapters that originally made up Volume 13 of the Tankoban, and the Tower of Gray chapter is indeed called "Tower of Gray" in there.

Does anyone keep a record of what the original titles of the chapters were? Just out of curiosity.
Stardust Crusaders' wikipedia article has a list with the original titles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stardust_Crusaders
Well, that's interesting. It was wierd that it started after the second volume. The more you know. It's strange that they didn't use the volume titles for the first three episodes, though.
I like the ones with "!?" in the end.
"Shooting DIO!?", that´s crazy MAN!!

The starting at Volume 2 thing was most likely an error on the Tankoban. I think they didn't do that on the Anime Episode titles because Tower of Gray is the first one where the Stand fights are named after the Stands themselves.
For example, the first 3 Chapters are just called "Kujo Jotaro" and the Kakyoin Chapters are just called "Kakyoin Noriaki".
"Tower Of Gray" officially marks the first time a Stand's name is used as a chapter title, so clearly that's where they started.

Kakyoin, why do you look so weird? <.<
Anyway, seems like Araki is doing a oneshot in WSJ.
I don't know what it is but something about Hierophant Green's pose is just hilarious.
For those living in the states, volume 1 is now (finally) available in digital.
!
The print version is out in February.
I am the only one who think that Araki's drawing of women have been getting uglier?
Does anyone have digital manga? Are there any name changes yet?
I am the only one who think that Araki's drawing of women have been getting uglier?
Maybe because they all look like Josuke in drag?
I'm waiting for the physical editions, so I've got plenty of time for people to assess the quality of the digital ones for me.

Dio Torpedo was the height of animation, so not very far?
Watching through the last few episodes of Jojo, I realized that this series is much better if you imagine that, instead of being full grown men, the main characters and villains are all like the Rugrats going on an imaginary muscular adventure.
