Woah, you're right. My day just got a lot brighter. Raws, here I come~
Now if only I could find the raws I was missing of Steel Ball Run, I'd have a complete set finally.

Thanks for posting that, I've been wanting to see the RAWs too.
Parts 1 through 5 are on there as "Jojo_no_Kimyou_na_Bouken" in case anyone is wondering, took me a couple searches to find them since Taleran said that at least Part 5 was there too.
Are the part 4 ones higher quality than the translations?
yeah all the RAWs seem HQ
damn the ending of Part 5 looked awesome even if I couldn't read it.
Any chance there is a msn group that I can read the manga from? I can not locate some of the volumes.

some awesome stuff I stumbled across
(fan art)
and this is all translated from one of the art books (stuff about Araki)
10 FAVORITE JOJO CHARACTERS:
1. Josuke Higashikata
2. Kira [We think Kira's actually #1 but Araki thought it would look bad to have a serial killer with OCD as his favorite.]
3. Bruno Buccellati [… This is what Araki does to characters he LIKES.]
4. Diavolo/Doppio
5. Giorno Giovanna
6. Joseph Joestar
7. Guido Mista [yeah, sensei, WE CAN TELL you like Mista by how his pants are always falling off.]
8. Jotaro Kujo

10. Dio Brando
10 FAVORITE MOVIES:
1. The Great Escape
2. Jaws [… what? WHY?]
3. Zombie: Dawn of the Dead

9. Naniwa Kin'yudo

His age really shows when you look at what his favorite manga are… so he likes Golgo 13 more than FotNS, really? XD
10 MOST PAINFUL/SAD SONGS:
1. Chicago - Wishing You Were Here [ lyrics ]
2. The Eagles - Hotel California [ lyrics ]
3. Vladimir Ashkenazy - Mozart Piano Concerto no. 20

Araki says these songs are "setsunai" which… well... I don't know what he means by that in this context. It means something like "painful" or "heavy/suffocating" or "sad" etc... I guess he means they make him cry? XD Or maybe he just finds them moving?

Did ignition one scantalate part 3+ of jojo? because veggies scans are horrid
nope thats all you got to work with (well the RAWS too)
difference between the Veggie scans and the RAWS
RAW Scan
Damn. Speaking of Ignition-One, they've pretty much disappeared besides posting Ippo chapters at Dynamite Glove.
^
It's because their server is being a bitch. Though I don't know if they do releases (besides ippo) anyway.
Been watching the RAWs and damn I swear seeing Devo's puppet in HQ TOTALLY freaked me out!
In the LQ scans he didn't frighten me much, but DAMN!
Half-way thru Part 3 right now, and am about to enter the Egypt encounters.
Anubis FTW.
BTW I was wondering, are these the full description of Star Platinum's abilties-
Super Human Strength
Super/Ultra Human Speed
Super Human Senses
Highly accurate precision
Due to it's super speed it can allow Jotaro to enter a state in which he moves so fast that time itself would seem to have freezed around him
About the kills part, surely…
Part 6 spoilers
! Made in Heaven/Stairway to Heaven would get the most kills, seeing as he kind of destroyed and restarted the universe, and everyone in it.
Oh, and what's Jumping Jack Flash's ability? It looks like he has little guns on his arms.
since the data book where that info comes from was written around the end of part 5 I don't think Enrico would be included
NEW CHAPTERS ARE OUT FROM HIGHERVOLTAGE!!!
http://ls57tiger.freepgs.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=308&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=300
so thats what Requiem is aha
and Jean-Turtle = Win
IRC isn't my friend..so could someone upload..5 (anything after highvoltge's uploads)and 6…I would be JoJotasically grateful...
I'm in the process of doing that I'll keep the thread posted on the status
Whoa, they brought out a shedload of new chapters. Nice.
part 6 spoilers
! So, my volumes for part 6 got here, and I have to say, it's an awesome series. Confusing, but that's because of all the Japanese text. I can still read the Stand names and whatnot, though. A few questions…
! 1. How does Donatello Versace die? It looks as though he just merges with Pucci, after Pucci kills Wes/Weather Report.
! 2. Why does Jolyne set herself on fire to fight Rykiel and Sky High? (I thought it was because the Rods Sky High controls suck heat from the body, and by setting herself on fire she could keep the heat)
! 3. What was up with the whole part where Anasui and Jolyne are fighting that green baby, and that Stand appears and somehow gets trapped in a bottle? I didn't get that.
! 4. As a matter of fact, I didn't get the whole part with Yoyoma and the frog in its head. An explanation would be appreciated, thank you.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh
Finally! But, this computer doesn't have winRAR…
that problem is easily solvable.
and Mista Trish switch is great
Yeah, Mista in Trish's body has been making me laugh to myself all day. Now that I understand what happened, I need to go back and do these last few battles of the Part 5 game. I guessed they somehow switched bodies, but it sure as hell confused me when I played it prior to now and they were calling Giorno Narancia and all that.
for the 1st time ever all of JJBA
1 - 62(5chapters) and 62 - 80(RAW) in one place Direct Downloads
http://www.mangapimps.com (you have to register but its got some nice speeds)
the only series I have never been able to find RAWS of is Steel Ball Run and its driving me insane
oh well
(the volumes should be up either later tonight or tomorrow depending on the sites admins)
(the volumes should be up either later tonight or tomorrow depending on the sites admins)
Volumes of SBR? OR are you talking the first six parts?
EDIT: Nevermind, I checked and they only go up to 47 right now.
6 parts
I still haven't been able to find 3 - 10 of SBR
Ah ok, I managed to find a dead torrent of it. I'm sure its out there somewhere, but it'd be hard to find.
Do you have 1 and 2 raw? I'm trying to get all the raws for myself, so if you want to upload those somewhere that'd be cool. I do have volume 4 raw myself from a lucky find, but I'm not home right now and I won't be for a day or two. When I do, I'll find somewhere to upload it or something or send it to someone who can.
no I only know of 1 and 2 from the KO scans
spoilers for part 5
! Why didn't they just kill the turtle at the end so Polneraff could have his body back?
! Didn't they say in these chapters that Polnareff's body was already dead? His spirit was strong enough to switch bodies, though.
yep thats the reason
! So Polnareff survives in the end as teh turtle or will he die when the spirits go back to their original bodies?
o.m.g
^What? Can't see the image.
fixed the link
and this is something interesting I found
http://www.geocities.jp/jojoyoutube/
a listing of Youtube videos of the various bands / songs mentioned throughout the series
! So Polnareff survives in the end as teh turtle or will he die when the spirits go back to their original bodies?
! Yeah, at the end of the game (assuming it is the same) you see a little spirit-body of Polnareff talking from the turtle's back, and when you see Giorno being his mob boss self, the turtle's sitting near him so I'm assuming he just hangs around with Giorno from then on. If I remember right.
Part V is getting insane…
! Polnareff being killed then having his soul relocated into the turtle is both hilarious and really depressing. I had accidentally found out that Narancia was going to die a while ago, but damn, that really looked painful. So I guess that Giorno will use GE to heal his body, and then when everyone eventually gets switched back Narancia will just be… dead.
! Huh, what happened to the turtle's soul when everyone got switched? Poor thing.
Oh, and one of the cops in the scene where everyone falls asleep is totally William Zepelli.
http://blog.nbc.com/hiro_blog/
what the fuck? Look at the first two blogs on the page "Bound by death and luck", and "To flower" and look who it was posted by.
What's he doing in the heroes world.
"In the NBC drama, Heroes, a fictional Japanese salaryman named Hiro Nakamura is a fan of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. In his blog, he states that he wants to "be like Jojo and Vaan and go on adventures". One of his powers includes time manipulation, a gift shared with Jojo characters Jotaro Kujo and Dio Brando (fitting, since series 3 seems to be his favorite). Hiro's future self even signed a blog entry as "Jotaro Kujo"."

Something else I just picked out that could be pure coincidence
Black Sabbath was a Man made of Shadows
and the Song Black Sabbath that got the band to change their name was inspired by one of the people in it seeing this weird Black person type thing at the end of his bed one night…..weird.
I also wonder how many of the artists realize that they're in the manga.
ive read all of part 3 and a chapter of part 5(the one withe giorrno) but i can't fing parts one or two
http://www.vimanga.ru if you have winRAR.
I posted this in the Eyeshield 21 thread, and figured I should show it in here too:
I've posted the link like 4 times in this thread
Hang on, where did you see that, Taleran? And when did Black Sabbath change their name?
Only thing I can remember is Heaven and Hell, the reunion type band made up of Dio, Iommi, Butler and Appice.
the Bands Original name was Earth
Earth moved in a darker direction when their bassist, Geezer Butler, a fan of the black magic novels of Dennis Wheatley, wrote an occult-themed song titled "Black Sabbath" The band claimed however, during a concert film, that the song name has more sinister origins. They have claimed that the name was created when one night Butler allegedly saw a black figure at the end of his bed. The next day it became apparent to Butler that an occult book Osbourne had given him was missing. When the band found themselves being confused with another local band called Earth, they adopted the song title as their new name.
Oh right!
I see now. So you're saying that Araki based Black Sabbath on Butler's experience?
which became how the band got its name so it would fit
I wonder if Ronnie James Dio is aware that his name was used for one of the most well known most popular manga characters…hmmm
