      Yotsuyu's connection finally became clear and Norisuke is colelcting death flags. I like how unpredictable this part is.

          Is there any reason why some of the words are highlighted and have brackets around them(not just in this chapter)?

          Nice chapter,those chestnuts look painfull.

            It's Araki's 「style」.

              So there's no real 「point」 to it?

                It 「emphasizes」 the words and/or terms Araki thinks are 「noteworthy」.

                  You mean like 「mistake」 and 「method」?Or even better 「chestnut」 😆

                    「Exactly」. I don't know if this was 「always present」 in Araki's works and 「scanlators」 just never bothered with it or if it is a recent obsession of his that started in 「SBR」.

                      I'm imagining part 1 with 「useless」 in brackets.Well it certainly does make him 「different」 to other 「authors」.

                        I'm feeling like 『 Stone Ocean 』 made use of the 「Brackets」 as well along with things in Part 3 such as 「Exactly」(It's as you say).

                        『 Steel Ball Run』definitely made 「prominent usage」of them though.

                          I'm wondering what purpose 「chestnut」serves though.

                            So apparently those 「bubbles」are actually part of Noriosuke's 「hair」.

                            –- Update From New Post Merge ---

                            Well, going by the glimpse we get, Noriosuke's power seems to involve removing his body parts while he still has control over them.

                              The use of 「brackets」 should totally be a new regular 「gimmick」 in this 「thread」.

                                「Brackets」 must also be accompanied by 「small pictures」 of 「what」 you're 「talking about」

                                        This thread's name should include 「brackets」 too.

                                        Maybe 「someone」 could arrange that.

                                            I feel like the animation's different. Like the characters stand out more from the background than last time. Might be the shading/coloring. Looks really good!

                                              It actually seems to be 「animated this time!」. The budget bump does much to improve as always.

                                              Also, 「hype」!

                                                  The trailer was truly


                                                  The music feels a lot more 「clas****sy」, with many allusions to rock. Let's hope this carries over to the show. The 「voice acting」 of Joseph's new actor is also amazing, I am glad 「Sugita」 tried to sounds similar to it in the last episode of the 2012 anime.
                                                  But the highlight of this trailer is def. the 「animation」, the 「Stands」 just look amazing!

                                                  Oh, and here is the 「trailer」:

                                                  If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. - _Sun Tzu, The Art Of War

                                                  _

                                                    The trailer was simply [amazing]. I'm more hyped than [ever].

                                                    But please, someone [teach] me how to do those [brackets] on my tablet.

                                                        You need to have japanese language enabled. On my swedish keyboard I can make brackets with 「Å」 and the 「¨」 button

Am I the only one who felt that Annusi was kinda out of place most of the time? and his stand was used as a plot device more than anything? I like him and him crushing over Jolyne made me aww so much but still.. Oh, and Weather's flashback is my favorite in the series. I also liked his plot twist but I feel like Araki changed his mind mid way, he first appeared like he's gonna be a villain but then turned out to be an assholish good guy? I probably should reread that part..

                                                                      I remember talking with my friend, and on 2ch there was a discussion going on about how Jolyne has the worst luck of any JoJo. I forget the entire list of things, but a few of the items went something like

                                                                      -her boyfriend framed her and left her stuck in jail
                                                                      -her parents ended up divorcing
                                                                      -her first friend is FF

                                                                      I still think F.F. has it worst.

                                                                      ! Especially considering F.F. had too many close calls and died way too early… I wanted F.F. to be playable in All Star Battle. :c
                                                                      Pity the later parts of JoJo doesn't have good reputation somehow.
                                                                      ! By the way, wasn't Jolyne's first friend supposed to be Hermes?

Part 5 is also very popular in Japan, it's just that Stone Ocean rightfully gets a bit of flac because you clearly notice Araki's usual formula was not working as good as it used to be anymore. Hence, the reboot with SBR.

                                                                        I agree, though: I had TONS of wishes for playable characvters, especially from later parts. No Ringo, FF, Weather Report, Wekapipo, Hot Pants, Diego, etc. ;_;

                                                                                    which has happened in an even worse capacity with Tsurugi.

                                                                                    !

                                                                                    How is this okay in the context of Hot Pants's character, compounded with "she's clearly very upset and we're all in terrible danger".

                                                                                    Unless it's supposed to portray Johnny as even more of a creepy asshole, which I might be willing to believe, considering…

                                                                                                    They're doing an intro for the 4 main guys besides Joutarou, then the next week is the anime event thing. That'll probably have something more Joutarou focused. But Joutarou is in all of these already. That's March 22nd. Then there's one more week where something might happen, I dunno, but nothing's planned right now. Then the anime starts the following week.
