Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...

Confusing. The three Perfect Beings (or whatever the hell) were activated in '38.

Dio and Jonathan's big fight started in 1888. By 1889 he was married, but then you know what happens.
The point is, it was done the same way.

I've heard this rumor. I HAVE NOT seen anything on Viz's site or ANN.
If this is true don't buy it.
What you are getting:
SAY GOODBYE TO PART ONE AND TWO. That's right, they are gonna go right to part three!
Name changes and more editing bullshit!
got it from anime nation which got it from anime on dvd
about the name changes katana, some of them are necessary because of shit like vanilla ice and in later series' more blatent homages to rock and other music people but other than that i can see why you would be pissed
it still sucks that we have to sit here and read something that is awesome edited
i mean even kinnikuman nisei hassome pointless edits
there is no point in changes the character name in the translated manga but viz deemedit necessary for some reason to translate some name and leave the others as they were
tel tel boy = diabolic in the 4kids dubs but they keft his name tel tel boy in the manga
but kinnikubuster was changed to butt buster even tho 4 kids left it as kinniku buster
THEY BETTER NOT EDIT IT!!!
I really hope it's in Advanced or is in the Editors Choice styles, so it won't be edited…
btw, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure isn't on Viz's site either, so I don't know how accurate that is...
also, Why would they get rid of Part I and II?
no clue
they did aweird editing job
kinikuman nisei is part of the advanced line. they edited weird, why use the japanese names for cerain characters and use the 4 kids names for othersand then a move namethat was in japanese in 4 kids, they change it to something that has nothing to do with the translation of the name
kinniku = muscle but they translatd it to butt buster?
it makes no sense
im worried they are gonna fuck this up
they most likely will…. but if we pray REALLY REALLY HARD! God may at least grant us the joy of haveing Viz keep the violence and maybe the blood and OH MAYBE the names.... No I've gone mad...they'll fuck it up till it's "JoeJoe's Stupid Edit"
well despite kinnikuman Nisei ( Ultimate Muscle ) having retarded editing they left the violence and blood in
when Jade ( Jeager in US ) uses the red rain of pain on Gazelle Man ( Dik Dik Van Dik ) you see him slice him from belly to face and you see his ribs and all this blood comes spurting out… jojo's should be good but we all know it's gonna be hacked to pieces despite what we the fans want >_>

[snapback]35785[/snapback]They're neccessary, but that doesn't mean they're acceptible. It pissed Araki off in the first place, so why even bother bringing it here?

_That's what I've been saying for a while. I've heard the rumor about it coming out in Spetember, but I've ignored it because other than a few sites having it for pre-order, there's no info on it at all.
They'd skip the first two parts because III would draw in the most fans. Not really a bad thing. Except for the fact that the series (not including SBR) runs for about 80 volumes, and with Viz behind it, it could take 15 years before we see Part I._
Yeah but the first two parts arent all that long
What is it, 12 volumes to cover the first 2 series and you cover a lot of back story this way too
That'd take at least a year to get out. That'd be a long time of potential Jojo fans not picking it up.
I have the first three chapters of the original Jojo Raw if you'd like I can scan them..
but that's if you like the part with the woman eating her baby that was kinda wierd.
I'll also have to find them. but this should please anyone who wants to know Dio's origins, *I bet everyone has already read them though.
If anyone does we can get someone to translate it because it all seems kinda wierd to look at the pictures and something is going on and no one has any idea why people are dying.
Yeah, I think everyone here's gotten through those.
Man, I really underestimated Part IV. It's quickly becoming my favorite. May not top III with others, though.
part 4 is good ^^ it's not as action based, but it's got heated battles! the last battle is pretty exciting! i see you've changed your avatar!! crazy diamond!!!!!
ooshi78
Yes, Josuke pwns. Though, he ends up sharing a lot of the spotlight with Jotaro and Koichi. 
I guess the story is just a bit too long. It's about 17 volumes, and doesn't pick up until they meet Sugimoto.
Should I just skip part 1 and 2 then now? Sicne they don't seem to be that exciting or interesting. Just some background…. I guess I'm not that far either...
you shouldnt skip part 1 and 2 cause they are really good. They just dont have the stand thing that the later parts have but the hamon is still cool. Johnathon and Joseph kick ass and you will miss out by not reading them

Not sure. I think you'd get the most out of III by reading them, but I dunno where you are exactly. Part IV takes a while though, so if you finish III, you might as well go through those. II has probably the best ending.
joseph kicked so much ass! i just wish he wasnt an old man in the third part 
He was great as the veteran. "Oh my God!" Kinda goofy, but wasn't he always?
Oh, anyone know what his lines mean in the fighting game? When he's young he has a few phrases.

true but he is no 18 year old joseph who was smart, funny and knew how to kick ass and alot of it, but he didnt have a quote like "yare yare daze" which made jotaro cool.
He said "yare yare daze" on occasion. Also, he had that thing where he'd say what was about to be said to him.
Later on, he had "Oh noooo!" and "Oh my God!" which I thought were pretty damn funny.
oh yeah, that "oh my god" in strange lettering, in english no less
how about when Joseph said
HOLY SHIT!!! lol man him cursing in english was classic and it fit cause he was american
jotaro on the other hand had… yare yare daze and the reason you lost is because you pissed me off 
Young Joseph -
Wasurenu Omoi: D,DF,F+2A - Joseph does a short uppercut. If it hits,
many panels from the comic book appear while he blasts his opponent with
energy. He shouts "Ceasar!" which is the name of a friend of his who died
fighting the Perfect Beings.
Eija no Akimigi: D,DB,B+2A - Joseph takes out a large medallion and
charges a blast with his fist. After a pause he fires an unblockable
laser.
-This can easily be ducked under. In Jojo's Bizarre Adventure the
damage is rather high, but it's only half as strong in Jojo's Venture.
The game had some weird changes made to it, mainly the american one
many panels from the comic book appear while he blasts his opponent with
energy. He shouts "Ceasar!"
The first time I did that move it gave me a chill. :lol:
I was wondering what the phrases he said were, like when he cracked his knuckles in the taunt.

The same red stone he defeated Cars with.
yup yup
that fight with cars was pretty awesome
am i the only one who thought hol horse was kick ass?
an that his hold you by your nose while a car runs over super was just too funny for words on top of he fights dirty? he hits you with a brick!!! XD he throws dirt or blows smoke in your face!
man hol horse was sexy XD
Hol Horse is awesome.
an that his hold you by your nose while a car runs over super was just too funny for words on top of he fights dirty?
When I did that move it was a complete fluke. It was cool when the car hit my opponent, Joseph at the time.
Heh, I'd have lost if that didn't happen.
And the topic goes deathly silent at the mention of Hol Horse o_O
LOL
Everyone seems to be caught up reading Steel Ball Run, so I may have to check it out sooner then later
I've only read a bit of SBR, and I don't even remember it.
But yeah, Hol Horse killed the thread.
starts slapping people with bricks XD
j/k
come on whats wrong with hol horse seriously? He was the most under rated character in the Game… geez people would get their life bars molested when i used hol horse haha!!!
He's pretty cool, but I mainly just use Kakyoin.
I was more of a Jotaro and Hol Horse kinda guy
My brother would abuse Anubis Polnareff on Easy Mode LOL
I should start watching Jojo then rubs his chin slowly
Watch and read
Steel Ball Run is now offially part 7 of the story. Check out the this scan from this month's chapter.
Jojo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 7
I heard that on Higher Voltage. Where'd you find that?
I got the original japanese scan of the colorspread from s-manga. (It's very slow)
http://www.s-manga.net/mens/uj.html
The top choice (in the menubar where it says CLOTH ROAD, NEEDLESS and so on)
says "Steel Ball Run" in katakana. Press on it.
And chinese scans of the whole chapter from jojohot.

The old OVA is vastly superior to the new one. The original 1992 OVA made me want to seek out the manga, whereas the new one didn't.
yeah but both OVAs are extremely well done
just the first one is better, you might wanna watch the second OVA first though cause the second OVA covers pretty much the first half of the series
the first OVA covers teh second half of the series
why did they have the ova start at the most random spot? why not start from the beginning ?
I never understood why either, but anyways, the first OVA is the best. The card match with Darby is simply awesome
I…..still need to catch those. T_T
If you've avoided Capcom Fighting Jam like me, then you've probably been missing out (again, like me :P); they took the Rose/Lisa Lisa thing to another level.
Also!
Must…..cop.....
buc, you claim to be a jojo fan and havent seen those? you suck ! Just kidding, but seriously you need to see that shit especially the last fight,"ZA WARUDO!"
Like Hell I'm paying $25 for 2 episodes.
Actually, it's not that I wouldn't, it's that I can't.
pay? i meant by other methods but to each his own
