well that does make sense because Will Mentions in part 1 that the Hamon and Stone Mask's are 2 sides of the same coin so if Stands are the evolved Hamon then it'd make sense for them also to be the evloved Stone Mask…right?
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
-
-
Well, actually I think it was said that Hamon and the Stone Mask (As well as Gyro's steel balls) were created to imitate Stand power.
-
Yes, but the stranger thing is that on the title page of this months chapter it has the characters and then below it listed their "Stands". Are the stand represented energy called stands in the SBR universe =_=
edit: I stand corrected
it actually don't name then as "stands", since they don't have "standish names" XD…
it's marked: Gyro: "steel balls" Jonny: "nails"the only thing I'm not sure, is on jonny. since the scans don't show soooo well the furigana written over the kanji "nails" ...if it's written "TUSK"(the "standish name" given by jonny to that "nyu-nyu creature that comes out of his arm) then, I'd say Jonny have a stand, but gyro got a "technic"
-
Does anybody know where to find good quality scans for part 3?
-
I found the Veggie ones to be good enough quality
anything more than that and you'd have to actually buy them
-
Its Part 4 that needs bettter quality. It has some ok scans but the translations are very messy and hard to understand in some places. Also, some places it isn't translated at all.
-
I'm sorry if this has been asked a lot, but is there a web site were the first and second parts are. I dont have IRC, but I seem to remember someone posting a site that posted it. Is there any site out there that has them?
-
you have to register, but its free and blazingly fast
-
I heard that Viz were stopping translating Jojo due to lack of sales. Is this true?
I didn't believe it because it came from Wiki, but I wanted confirmation.
-
I doubt it. I haven't heard anything about it.
-
That's false, volume seven has already been given a release date (April 3rd) and cover. I think someone got impatient since JBA comes out every 3 months but volume seven is coming out 4 months after the last one.
-
Will someone bequeath onto me thoughts/feelings/dispositions toward Part VII? That's the first Jojo manga I'm thinking of diving into since it's too troublesome to land my hands on the earlier volumes, but I'm unsure of whether or not it is worth the effort.
-
I can't get enough of Steel Ball Run, its fresh and awesome all at the same time, with a concept that originally I couldn't see working at all.

Agreed, for sure. And it actually isn't a bad place to start off at all since, to put things simply, continuity got restarted with Part 7. There are quite a few homages to older characters and such, but nothing is directly related so nothing will seem completely foreign. That's not to say the older Parts aren't worth looking up and reading, of course.
As a side note, Araki's art has been blowing me away lately. Something about it has been putting me in awe. One example from the latest chapter that caught my eye is Diego's face in the bottom panel here:
!
-
Nurlock where did u get that scan?
-
probably from the RAW chapter releases
-
probably from the RAW chapter releases
Yep, that is exactly where I've been getting them the last couple months.
-
I'm annoyed.
I ordered the entirety of Stone Ocean from sasugabooks.com and I have no idea when, or if, I'm going to get them. It's been about 3 weeks now, at least.
Damn, I need my Jojo fix.
-
Well maybe they were sold out and didn't tell you. That happened when I order there once. I ordered one piece volumes 28-33, but 32 was sold out and they had to reship it. I had to wait like 2 more weeks. That and since you're seas it could take time (they ship from boston.)
Also I got SBR 11 yesterday. Pretty good stuff, judging from summaries and stuff.
Major spoilers for SBR though
! Damn I kinda wish sandman didn't kill off Norisuke. He was such a badass, and he was a badass old man which makes him even cooler.
-
Well they said something like that then sent me one that said "Sorry, I sent mistake first email" or something.
-
Might try to purchase JoJo from that site.
BTW I was wondering, what's the difference between-
Horus & White Album
Little Feat/Feet and Goo Goo DollI kinda noticed that they both have the same abilities…
-
well I know that White Album can't be used as projectiles and just freezes the area around it, where as Horus can use the ice to attack.
-
don't know about goo goo doll (i'm still reading part 5), but yea, the two ice stands are basically the same..
-
Goo Goo Dolls is kind of automatic. It like, has its own brain. Far as I understand.
-
well I know that White Album can't be used as projectiles and just freezes the area around it, where as Horus can use the ice to attack.
Ah I thought so as well but kinda wanted to make sure. Thanks
-
White Album is also worn.
-
Horus is kind of worn. Built-in is sort of like worn, I guess.
Where are people getting the SBR scans that follow on to Ignition-One's?
-
I heard that Viz were stopping translating Jojo due to lack of sales.
Shit, scared me there for a second. I don't want to be stuck with the six volumes I have. I hope VIZ at the very least finishes putting out Part Three.
How many volumes would that be? 16?
-
I think Part III is 18 volumes. I doubt they'd release Part IV and onwards for the same reason the Part V game wasn't released here, but maybe if the fans demand it (unlikely) they could release the first twelve volumes.
-
If Viz does not bring Part 4 in US then i will buy the Japanese verison
-

Only thing I ever managed to find was a raw version of Volume 4, which the link I had for it is now dead, otherwise all I've found have been the latest chapters from http://teamangelsub.free.fr/Ritual.htm for the past few months.
-
I haven't been following Steel Ball Run (just a few chapters here and there), but I saw that Stroheim is supposed to be in it, so I'll probably start reading it soon. Is he only briefly shown, or is he a minor character, or what?
-
The Site I download all the old chapters from has deleted the chapters! I WAS ONLY TO CHAP 16! :( Im just unlucky I suppose.
-
Dude what the fuck? Why did ignition-one remove all their crap? I was reading hajime no ippo too >>
-
I was going to start downloading the SBR chapters I was missing.
Maybe it's an April Fools joke or something. Or at least I hope.
-
WAH!
I REALLY HOPE SO!
I didnt even get to the meat of the first series!

Here's a msn link for jojo. It has all of part 1 and some of 2 I think. Go to
jojo.highervoltage.com for 3,4,5 (most of it), and 6 (part of it)
edit: Oh it's probably just a AF prank. I forgot last year they said they would stop doing releases and then on April 1st they busted out a shitload of new stuff. So it's probably just a prank.
-
"A shitload of new stuff" sounds very, VERY good indeed.
-
Wow, I just remembered to ask this now:
What was the Steel Ball Run related announcement at the premiere of Phantom Blood that everyone was waiting for?
-
does anybody know where i can find the missing volumes of part 5 (62-63 i guess) and those of part 6 maybe? i couldn't find any…i'm starting to think that i'll someday have to buy them if they don't show up somewhere..
-
ignition one/ Is that some sort of IRC?
-

Well, I'll be getting part 6 volumes soon, in the next week probably. I could probably scan in RAWs. It'd take a lot of work and effort, though. And I don't know much about scanning in high quality, or whatever.
Here's ignition-one. http://manga.ignition-one.com/downloads/get/3/

That part one was going to be made in a huge kazeban IIRC

in case you really did that i'd be immensely grateful! i think it'd be quite long and tiresome to scan them though..
-
OH YEAH!
Thats actually the site I used XP
-

It will…
It'll also wreck my books, probably.
And I can't guarantee perfect quality either. I'll give it a go.
-
hey before you spend hours and hours scanning I would like to say that you can find the raws of part 6 on the lurk IRC channel
go to gotlurk.net and search for stone ocean -
I found nothing there…
-
its there theres just a underscore between stone and ocean and they have all part 5 aswell
jumps for joy
