Christ, what the hell is going on in the chapter?
cheap pun -2
I'm guessing
! its all in his head explaining why he shot it to wake himself up
Is there a forum that posts summaries or text translations for the SBR raws? Or do you guys just do your best trying to guess what the hell's going on?

It's linked to at the bottom of the highervoltage page. I'm pretty sure this is the only active Jojo forum on the internet.
@DougyDougyGiro!*:
Part V's ending was meh. I didn't really mind Bruno being a zombie or w.e
Is it bad to find the ch. with Mista and the rolling stone better then the fight with Giorno and Diavolo*? So is Giorno the strongest stand user so far or what??
I didn't really like how Araki didn't have Fugo just never come back. Waste of a stand, it had a cool design.
EXACTLY! Even tho part 5 was my favorite, it left me going…wtf?
Why did they just leave Fuugo out? They shoulda made him at least make a cameo.
Why did jotaro and kochi appear? They DIDNT DO ANYTHING! They just met gio once, and THAT IS IT. They didnt say something important, or do something cool.
And wtf was with king crimson, his power was 100% confusing. So he can erase time, so how can he predict? And how come if whatever was erased never happens, Narancia died while time was erased?

Jotaro and Kochi appeared to introduce the Part and the new character
He erases time after he predicts it. He sees what is going to happen then can do something different to change it.
Outside of the corresponding chapters in the manga has any of this ever been scanned?

Heh, that's pretty cool.
Well, I have a slight gift(or cock tease), that hopefully won't get me lynched.
Remember how Demonrin and I were said to be doing part IV? We didn't lie. Currently the main concern right now is translation, since we DO plan on releasing them by the volume, instead of chapters. But this process takes a while with only two people(winkwinknudgenudge…nudge?) with text setting, raws, etc.
I'm currently waiting for Rin to finish the translation on the FULL volume before actually getting 100% work(and hope we get help). He did though, give me several pages worth of translation. I decided to put together and release a sample set of 8(or 9 if you separate spread) pages to show if people like em, get feedback, etc.
With the current raws we have, they ain't gonna be HQ, sorry to say. So we decided to name them, "MQ that's better than what's currently available" release. So even with the raws not being HQ, we're mainly aiming for the translation what makes it better than what's currently out, and hope it's more readable to the fanbase. But not to worry, EVENTUALLY, we'll get the Kazenban's and release them HQ. That's just a matter of money. XD
Note on translation. Because Jojo is so multi cultural, we decided to try to preserve it as best we can. Hence, because this Part set mainly in Japan, we decided to leave honorifics, as well as some words, "Senpai" for example. Please leave any constructive feedback on the manner if it raises an eyebrow.
EDIT: Also, same thing goes with the Japaneses naming order. Araki in the raws did this, especially in part 3 specifically with Jotaro and Kakyoin. Also, the usage of the word "Fuck" is only because of the very rude Japaneses they're using in there. XD Otherwise, you probably won't see it much at all.
So, I present, a small sample of the first chapter of Part IV to show "Yes! We're working!!". I'll Spoiler each page.

damn looking real good, If I could read Japanese I'd give a hand
Wow, that artwork looks completely different than what it was at the end of Part 4 (if I remember correctly).
Thx for the pics

Not that translation we REALLY need help with (although Rin is looking for an assistant translator) the whole type setting thing and cleaning is what takes ages. The raws we have, is just a matter of gray scaling, and slight leveling to get rid of most the crap. And the type setting…god Koichi doesn't shut up. (Took me I'd say an hour to text those pages with being careful and fitting it all in and centering it.) And Rin mainly does the editing of the actual page if there's text ON it, due to having a tablet and able to get it easier.
So if you know how to type set, clean, etc. Then you're more than welcome, just pop Rin an e-mail. XD
-Zera
Two Members? I see how you are… >.>
Just kidding. ^^
Just come over once and a while and show me how to clean properly so it's not just you two doing everything, you know how I am with instructions over the 'net. xD
You two are doing an awesome job though! I'm feeling the tease already.
Now that's awesome timing, i just started reading part IV tonight and the scans i found were just horrible. With a difference in quality like that though, i can wait.
Also I found part 3 to be downright awesome, it amazed me more than any other shonen cept maybe HxH.
There IS one thing though
! I really, really liked Kakyoin ;_;
Nice work Rin, though I really hate those darker shadings in dem Volumes.
There IS one thing though
! I really, really liked Kakyoin ;_;
Yeah. You're not alone… >.>
! His death along with Iggy's and Advol's were just cruel.
If no one had mentioned it (this is only for the people who had just started the manga) they have right now on onemanga over 200 chapters. Just wanted to mention this.
btw, is Santana the main villain in part 2 (just say yes or no, unless of course it's Dio again, or maybe his son, if he have one…)
No…............
Yeah. You're not alone… >.>
! His death along with Iggy's and Advol's were just cruel.
! I cracked up when Dio put a concave hole through his chest. He was still awesome though.
I don't know why he just couldn't die the same way he did in the game.
Because that would've been fucking stupid, of course.
Any word on the recent Rohan one-shot being translated?

And glad to see you guys like the sample. =O Keep the comments coming for those who haven't yet. ^^;; I hope to get the full script soon to go full throttle on work.

Personally it would've been better than having a hole punched through your body but what's done is done.
Yeah because dying offscreen on the plane trip home is so much more satisfying.

No, He's not. Though Santana's pretty cool. The main villians make an appearance shortly after.
As for Dio having a son, he does indeed have one, but he comes later in the series. (Like Part Five Later)

! Doesn't Dio have a few kids in Part VI, I've never properly read it, but I heard their were a few

Yup, that's it. Thanks a lot.
I'll start on it later.
! I cracked up when Dio put a concave hole through his chest. He was still awesome though.
! Yeah he was, but I thought it was a shitty way to go, especially since all he did after getting his eyes slashed up was getting his ass kicked. And, really, did he even need to die? I mean he could've just been KOed like Polnareff and it wouldn't have been much different. Oh well, I'm still hoping he'll make some kind of appearance in SBR.
! he had to get hit like that so that he'd do all the stuff with the clock
! and Dio is not one to fuck around he was just focued on Jotaro which is why Pon escaped his notice
@BuckingHorse:
! Doesn't Dio have a few kids in Part VI, I've never properly read it, but I heard their were a few
! As far as I know, he only has one son and that's Gio. But, I've read stuff here and there. I don't know much except about certain characters past part three because of Araki using quite a few band name references to stands.
apprently in Part VI as an offside he has quite a few surviving children
Oh. That's defiantly news to me, lol. Well, thanks for the information. ^_^
He has a lot of deformed children and one fabulous one.
according to Wiki
When facing Dio's sons, she has mixed feelings at times,
I belive thats in reference to the Sky High user and Underworld the 2 last stands before the final fight
Hey. I posted here some time ago saying that I had read the manga some more time ago, loved the 2 first arcs, hated the 3rd and then stoped in the middle of Stardust Crusaders. I finally gather enough courage to finish the Part III. I must say I found it much better this time (stil, not even close to Parts I and II).
So, I wanted to ask. Now I'm up to volume 66 and, as far as I know, nothing else after it is translated. However, there is any group still translating it?
And oh, all hail Yoshikage! DAMN I love him. Now that's what I want of a main villain. Diavolo, however, maaaan, he's lame (although Doppio is pretty cool). Dio also became lame in Part III, don't know why :/ he was really badass in Part I.
How in the world could you not like Stardust Crusaders I mean I admit it did have it's issues but I thought it was good arc over Phantom Blood & Battle Tendency (not that I didn't like the first two arcs).
Well, now I like it. Just not as much as the others.
I mean, it all about fighting. And the most of them are pretty boring.
I love the fights in the "Hamon part", specially Battle Tendency, the way how Joseph manages to defeat everybody but never actually surpass them in strength (actually, I believe no one in JoJo is stronger than the Men in the Column… well, there is Requiem).
But SC was a fight after another fight after another fight and that was all! It was like a violent and clever version of pokémon (they came into a city, fight the bad guys, go to the next, fight the bad guys). And I didn't like the caracters at first as well. Abdul I still find really plain. I used to think Polnareff was a pain, but now I like him. I finally started to like Kakyoin and Jotaro.
Joseph is my favorite character in all JoJo, but I had a bad time trying to see that old guy as the same character. He was so... not Joseph. But the second time I read, it was different and the old Joseph and the young one finally became the same in my mind and that alone was enough to SC became interesting XP
I would say that: II > I > IV > V > III
V was pretty good at the start, but in the end... worst main villain in the manga (the Diavolo side and the character design), worst last fight and Gold Experience's ability just ruin any suspens. I also expected it to be less fight oriented, with Giorno going till the top in Dio's (inside House Joestar) style. At least the fights are fucking amazing and the protagonists kick ass.
About the part VI Dio's sons…
! He has 3 in that one, Rykiel, who wears some sort of face brace for some reason, who has the Stand Sky High that lets him suck out heat from people with these things called RODs, there's another one, Ungaro, who's deformed and has a Stand called Bohemian Rhapsody that can bring stories to life, and there's another one, Versace, who has a Stand called Underworld which means he can…I think repeat events in history, those chapters are confusing.
Hope that covers anything up. I absolutely love part VI so feel free to ask more.

Is their a reason why all Dio's kids (besides Giorno) are deformed?
@BuckingHorse:

Giorno had more of Jonathan in him?
OK, why the heck do some of the characters from SMT: Digital Devil Saga for the PS2 look like they were drawn by Araki?

God I love that game. I love all the Hindu mythology stuff.
Plus I got the first game and the sequel together for $15 because the cashier at GameStop was lazy.
tf?
Sucks that's the only time i'll ever see part four close to animation.
Now THAT was badass! Seriously if they could ever animate JoJo like that, then it'd be the best thing since the Detroit Metal City anime :D
