Gyro Zeppeli and the True Man’s World

Chapter 35: True Man’s World (Part 3)

Gyro’s consistent struggle is finding a path for himself outside of his family’s shadow. His father is a constant specter in his life, even an ocean away. The Zeppeli family teachings are undeniably miraculous, yet Gregorio encourages using the spin only when it will be for an undeniably good cause. He doesn’t like uncertainty (that moment when ‘the ball hits the net’) because he feels the Spin is not something for the Zeppeli family (I.e. the spin is not to be used selfishly), but should always be used in service of something greater (e.g. the king, bringing dignity to executions).

Even when first introduced, Gyro is full of contradictions. He’s traditional, yet a trail-blazer. He’s an asshole with a heart of gold. His character arc, really, is about him learning how to be selfish. How to, as Johnny puts it, “hunger”. He needs to want things for himself, to not just be, as Ringo calls him, “a conformist”. That’s why True Man’s World is Gyro’s arc. It’s him really truly embracing the spirit of the cowboy, of individuality, of using what he has ‘inherited’ to find his own path. It’s reconciling these different parts of himself that defines the rest of his character arc.

This journey is also mirrored in Johnny. Johnny states, “That’s what I want to learn from you.” (Chapter 32: Third Stage Goal). Johnny is someone who has ‘inherited’, but he’s also someone who’s lost everything, and hence, knows how to ‘hunger’. Johnny’s position in the third stage is both figuratively and literally caught between Diego (pure hunger) and Gyro (inheritance). Gyro’s growth informs Johnny’s. Gyro’s journey is about growing past what one has inherited to become his own person, just as Johnny states the Steel Ball Run is his own journey to adulthood.

The third stage is mostly an introduction for what we can expect from the rest of Gyro’s arc. Gyro’s arc continues well into the end of the part, as he and Johnny inform one another’s development. I would argue Sugar Mountain is the key turning point in their relationship. Once Gyro realizes how much Johnny is willing to give up for him, he too realizes what he is willing to give up for Johnny.

Johnny bluntly told Gyro in the third stage that the only thing he was lacking was having his own hunger to win. True Man’s World is Gyro shedding his father’s traditionalist views due to the ‘sentimentality’ (care / love) he has for Johnny. The decision to go back for Johnny is the first time Gyro has been able to freely express his own feelings as an individual and sets him on the path to continue exploring that side of himself further into the part.

In Catch the Rainbow, we see him starting to find that ‘golden path’ (a path of his very own) and using what he’s learned he’s able to overtake both Diego and Johnny, because he has found that individualistic ‘hunger’ for victory. Yet his perfect victory is interrupted. But Gyro loses for a reason. In order to gain that ‘perfect victory’ (the golden path), he had to cast aside everything. “Even Johnny disappears.” (Catch the Rainbow (Part 2)). Gyro failed to reconcile the two paths (hunger and inheritance), choosing one over the other, and that is why he didn’t get a perfect victory. But, as previously stated, that’s not what he (or Johnny) needs to learn.

Sugar Mountain is Johnny recognizing that he’s actually not willing to sacrifice everything to satiate his ‘hunger’. Seeing this, something in Gyro also changes. He thinks about ‘the ball that hit the net’; the moment where only ‘luck’ (or, similarly, fate) can decide how things turn out. Gregorio says something along the lines of, ‘Where the ball lands, only god can decide.’ But that’s not entirely true. Johnny had a choice to make: the corpse parts (the thing he wanted most in the world), or Gyro. For Gyro, that was the moment the ball hit the net, and it was a very human decision - one born of ‘sentimentality’ - that led to his life being saved.

This idea is followed up in Wrecking Ball. Here, finally, Gyro is able to reconcile the two sides of himself. He’s quite literally faced with his mirror image in Wekapipo - a man who also knows the spin, but who has lost connection to his homeland and his roots. Gyro remembers another moment the ball hit the net - when he botched a surgery on Wekapipo’s sister. It was a moment of bad luck to Gyro, but one that saved another’s life. Gyro defeats Wekapipo through the reconciliation of his hunger and his inheritance. He’s fully committed to the corpse hunt with Johnny (even willing to give up the race and his original goal, as seen shortly after in Philadelphia (Chapter 72; Ticket to Ride)), yet it is only because of what he learned from his family - the Zeppeli faith in miracles - that he is able to move past Wekapipo as an obstacle to continue the hunt. This reconciliation finally brings to a close the conflict from the third stage, and at last gives Gyro the insight needed to be at peace with himself and his decisions, wherever they may lead.

This, I think, is what gives greater meaning to his final words. There’s Lesson 5, of course, but there’s also his parting words: “If that’s how it is, I’m fine with it.” (Chapter 89: Break My Heart, Break Your Heart (Part 2)) Gyro maintained his morals until the end, refusing to send his ‘bad luck’ somewhere else. He refused to artificially manipulate luck / fate (through Love Train) to decide the outcome of his injury. He, very humanly, accepted his death. Lady Luck had not been at his side. It was because of his relationship with Johnny (the source of his ‘sentimentality’) and all that he learned throughout the race, about himself, and what he really values, that he was at peace with himself in the end. Gyro finally found the path that felt right to him, concluding the arc started in True Man’s World.

Gyro was both an inheritor (the Spin) and an individual who learned to hunger through the pursuit of goals that would improve him as a person - partially because he knew the corpse hunt could help him grow, but also seen in his refusing to back out at the end due to his affection for Johnny. In Lesson 5, his parting words to Johnny, Gyro thanks him for teaching him how to hunger and grow into himself, just as Johnny thanks him for teaching him how to inherit and once again see value and beauty in the world around him.

Sometimes I see takes that say Johnny and Gyro switched protagonist roles halfway through (the arc I would point to being A Silent Way). I would argue that’s not an accurate description. They informed each other’s development throughout the part and even well into the climax. It’s because of Gyro that Johnny too learned how to reconcile inheritance and hunger, allowing him to fight against alt!Diego on his own (the very embodiment of the corruption of ‘hunger’). They taught each other how to ‘hunger nobly’ and find the best of both worlds. They really do have a beautiful relationship and I’m disappointed when I see it mischaracterized.

Ultimately, Gregorio was half-wrong. Sentimentality was the downfall of Gyro Zeppeli, but it was also the cause of his greatest triumph, allowing him to find peace with himself in the end. The art of the spin was passed to Johnny, and everything Gyro embodied lives on through him.

Thank you for reading, I would love to hear your thoughts as well :)

[we-love-morioh-cho]

No bc why did Johnny just suffer non-stop for his entire fucking life - he was abused from a young age by his shitty dad, he saw his brother die and blamed himself for it, became disabled because of an extremely minor offense during a time period where being disabled was especially hard, was abandoned in an abusive hospital and disowned by his dad who should KILL HIMSELF, made a single (1) friend only to watch him die, had the chance to bring his friend back dangled in his face, the whole fucking ordeal with alt. Diego, fell in love and had 2 kids BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY his wife started to die, stole the corpse to heal her (going against his agreement with the only 2 people from the race he had left) but then his fucking son started to die instead, finally he died by getting his head crushed by a fucking boulder at the age of only 29????!!?!??!?!?!??!!

Like he just suffered constantly and never really won and never had the life he deserved but despite EVERYTHING he showed such remarkable resilience and KINDNESS throughout his life, he SAVED Lucy and his family and loved animals and hoped for things to get better despite it all and fought so hard and came so far and even missed and grieved for his ENEMIES because of how much the race meant to him and it was all destroyed at the end despite everything he did and his legacy continued on but they'll never know what we know and its been 100 years and he's been dead for so fucking long and has faded into an old folktale and all the characters from SBR are GONE and the world has moved on and time has passed and the inheritance of curses, burden and trauma through the bloodline and I miss Johnny so much and he unknowingly set in motion the curse of his descendants all to save his wife and then his son who he cherished despite being abused by his own father and how different would everything had been if he just received the love he deserved from his family and oh my god he's just like Jonathan and Jolyne and he acted out of pure love even if it went against everything he'd previously fought for because he is so incredibly human and even though he's gone and his descendants will never know him, his sacrifice and love and resilience persists through them and we know that but they can't and -

I finished reading SBR AND I HAVE THOUGHTS

Going to focus on my favorite moment, how it ended up being the overall theme for part 7, and how it came back for the ending. Long read, spoilers ahead.

The initial moment I'm talking about is in Vol 12. This was the moment that REALLY got me invested in Johnny and Gyro's story and it was also the turning point in their relationship. Up until this point you could view their alliance as something mostly rooted in convenience. They both had goals that were adjacent to each other, but they also had an understanding that if their goals were no longer aligned then they'd go their separate ways without a second thought. It was transactional. Don't get in my way and I'll lend you a hand as long as it doesn't slow me down. They had common enemies but really couldn't be described as friends per se. At least not until this moment.

Johnny, whose entire disability was brought about by his own hubris and a moment of selfishness, the boy who has only recently begun to understand his stand abilities and feel hope over his condition improving, is given a choice. Does he sacrifice Gyro to keep the corpse parts which he fought so hard to collect in the first place? Or does he let the corpse parts go to save the life of someone who he's not even that close to? Does he choose himself or someone else?

And this is a huge turning point for Johnny's character as a whole. This leads to him making an incredibly selfless decision, one which goes against his instincts and which even Gyro seems surprised by.

This is it. This is the moment when Gyro realizes that Johnny is more than just a traveling companion. He knows exactly how much those corpse parts meant to Johnny. He can see the despair that he's fallen into and yet it's clear that Johnny doesn't regret his decision or hold any resentment towards him, and it's in that moment that Gyro realizes he would have done the exact same thing for him.

Imagine my surprise when Johnny has to make a similar decision at the end of SBR, but in the opposite direction.

Valentine, in a desperate attempt to save his own hide, offers the one thing that Johnny can't refuse. The chance for him to see Gyro again and let him live. He bends over backwards and swears up and down that he has good intentions and that no harm will befall either of them and Johnny wants to believe it more than anything. He is once again given a choice. Does he make the selfish choice to give Valentine the corpse in exchange for his friend or does he make the selfless choice and let him go?

It's a fascinating exchange because as Johnny is questioning Valentine and asking him to prove his good intentions, it feels more like he's trying to convince himself that Valentine is trustworthy than the other way around.

He's trying to convince himself that saving Gyro is the better option even though, as painful as it is, he knows deep down that it isn't. He knows that the Gyro who would be brought to his universe wouldn't be the same. It wouldn't be his Gyro. He knows that Valentine is a smooth talker who can't be trusted. He knows that no matter what justification Valentine gives for his actions, that they were always motivated by a desire for power and personal gain.

And so he makes what is, most likely, the most difficult decision of his life. He tests Valentine one more time.

Valentine, being the bastard that he is, can't resist the opportunity to kill Johnny. And with that, Gyro is lost forever. It's just a really powerful moment and ties back to vol. 12 beautifully.

This is the overall theme of SBR. The idea of self sacrifice and letting things go for the greater good.

I'm just so proud of these characters and how they grew over time both in their relationship and as people overall. It was an honor to go on this journey with you boys.

Cheers, and to the next part and the goal.

Please elaborate on your SBR presentation!!

Aw man it’s not half as intellectual as it sounds! My class in high school had the same slightly new agey teacher who let us free range to the point of not really having us in class or teaching us anything (fine by me). 50% of class work was just keeping a running log of notes on themes/characters/devices that we turned in at the end of each semester.

It was the same 20-odd students and one teacher from grade 11-12, and as a treat she let us do a presentation either solo or in pairs on any piece of media of our choice at the end of grade 12. Mandatory attendance, snacks were brought. There were some pretty cool subjects like Font in Wes Anderson Films or a book called Eunoia separated into chapters that used only one vowel.

As the only two weebs in class, my then-bestie and I wanted to do the weirdest possible media for shock value. Our gimmick was to sell SBR as a Piece of Literature by describing it using the same structure as our notes logbook. It wasn’t a good presentation! Lots of text, awkward formatting, we were 17 and we knocked it off in a few days after spending most of the prep time rereading SBR.

Anyway. Johnny, easy, Diego, easy, Hot Pants, easy, they’re all tortured heroes that went right alongside Othello and Tim O’Brien.

Gyro??? We had all of our reading notes finished and we were still puzzling out what to say about him until the day before. Motivations? He throws away his amnesty schtick halfway as soon as the corpse parts come up, willingly sabotaging his race progress to help Johnny. Connections? He’s devoted to Johnny and mildly antagonistic to everyone else without rhyme or reason. Even though he’s the one who provides the impetus to get through the race, all his drive is in service to the reactionary (story role not political alignment) Johnny’s story. We were stumped!

Eventually our soup brains made the connection to Gyro’s backstory of thoughtlessly following orders and came up with this slide:

RSVP to my classmates, at least we read the text out loud

#kelsey liveblogs jojo’s bizarre adventure #steel ball run <3 I’d have to reread again to have a single clue about him but for now I remember the memories of analysis #though I don’t remember the actual text!

( spoilers: part 7 / steel ball run )

( spoilers: cry of fear )

As a Disabled person I can't describe just how dangerous and anxiety-inducing it is when people who don't know how to talk about disability do "character analysis" and even bios of Disabled characters. Like... I was just watching a YT video analysis of Simon from Cry of Fear and instantly thought of Johnny because it's like... bitch...

The problem these characters are facing is internalized ableism drilled into their brains by society, not their disability itself. They would not be suffering so much mental anguish and so much dangerous, desperate desire to be "cured" if they hadn't been marinated in these horribly ableist and eugenicist societal beliefs about disability.

(I don't think wanting to be "cured" of a disability is wrong, but it must be a seriously thought-through decision after the person has already networked with other people with that disability and learned as much about it as they can, learned and healed about how their disability does not take anything away from their worth, and learned that their inaccess to things is not their fault but the fault of a messed up system that has excluded entire groups of people).

And I need everyone who writes wikis about these characters and makes character analysis to shut the fuck up if they know nothing about the social model of disability.

Because these messed up ableist beliefs are endlessly being spread everywhere and are dangerously contributing to these deadly ideas that make real people end up in the exact same situations as Simon and Johnny (y'know like... non-fantasy, non-supernatural wise) where their disability makes them hate themselves to an absolutely brain-rotting degree.

(and inb4 "it's just fiction":

-systemic ableism and oppression are not fictional

-i don't care)

The Satirical Horror of Junji Ito’s “Hanging Blimp”

[The following review contains SPOILERS; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!]

Junji Ito’s “Hanging Blimp” features a brilliant moment of dark comedy. Quite near the end of the short story, the protagonist’s family huddles around their television set, watching an emergency broadcast about the apocalyptic invasion of the eponymous monsters—gargantuan sentient balloons shaped like disembodied human heads, which strangle their prey with steel cable nooses. Literally seconds after the reporter warns citizens to remain indoors, the father stands up and casually announces that he really should be getting back to the office; he has a lot of work to finish before the weekend. When his wife and children understandably object to his cavalier attitude, he arrogantly dismisses their concerns, insisting that he’s formulated a foolproof survival plan. Abandoning both rationality and the safety of his home, he sprints towards his car, raising his arms to protect his neck—and is immediately lassoed around the waist and hoisted aloft to his grisly demise.

Later, our heroine’s younger brother likewise ventures outside, albeit for a more justifiable reason: he realizes that they will eventually run out of food should they continue to shelter in place—and as the newly appointed “man of the house,” it is his responsibility to provide for the weak, helpless, vulnerable womenfolk. His overconfidence proves to be equally fatal: when he next appears, he’s been unceremoniously slain between panels—impaled by the umbrella that he wielded as an improvised weapon.

Although this social commentary is too brief and incidental to the plot to qualify as a proper theme, it is nevertheless pointed and purposeful. Indeed, the presence of such mundane horrors as machismo, patriarchy, and toxic masculinity enriches the narrative, grounding the (potentially absurd) premise by juxtaposing its supernatural elements with comparatively ordinary, recognizable, relatable conflicts and characterization. Additionally, these relatively humorous (but still macabre) scenes prevent the tone from becoming excessively monotonous, alleviating the relentless tension by lending the otherwise oppressively bleak scenario some much-needed levity—which, in turn, lowers the reader’s guard, thus making the tale’s tragic conclusion significantly more impactful.

While fans tend to reductively emphasize “Hanging Blimp’s” grotesque, nightmarish imagery—particularly the iconic visual of a schoolgirl’s skull melting into a misshapen blob that resembles a deflated soccer ball—its satirical subtext is what truly elevates it. As insightful, subversive, and culturally relevant as it is disturbing, the manga transcends such superficial genre trappings as gore, jump scares, and a creepy atmosphere. These surface-level pleasures are, of course, perfectly enjoyable, but they do not exist in a vacuum; their function is to support the work’s underlying meaning.

And any critical analysis that omits this deeper context is inherently incomplete.

[shoechoe]

not abt the ask game anymore (though i think you give some fugo vibes. if i squint a little) i just wanna say i absolutely adore your analysis please keep writing them. youre eloquent. theyre well written, i finish them and i want more and there's always more youre always writing them!!!! reading the thoughts of such a knowledgeable person with some big deep ability to analyze stuff and see through layers of content (well maybe some things are obvious, but not to me, so it's always cool when you mention something and im like YEAHHH OF COURSE! HOW'D I MISS THIS!) is so nice. keep it up dude

Oh, gosh. Thanks so much for the compliment. I really do like analysis, especially if it's something that I'm passionate about like Jojo's. Picking apart all of the themes and characters and trying to understand what the author was thinking and what their intention was is something that I just really enjoy doing. I'm super pumped that there are people who think I'm good at it (I also like to think I'm getting better at it. Hopefully).

I will hopefully write more analysis in the future, but for now I'm a little busy unfortunately. I have school and a couple of other projects I'm working on + other media I'm watching/reading at the moment, but if I find something else I want to write on I promise I will. (Maybe it'll be on Steel Ball Run when I finish it or Diamond is Unbreakable or something.)

Also, the Fugo comment is interesting. Alongside Kakyoin, I do get Fugo a lot of the time on JJBA personality quizzes (and I also have a tendency to get random bursts of anger at times...) so maybe we are a bit similar.

Does Johnny actually hate Diego? (Sources Cited)

The answer might surprise you!

Let’s take a look at the evidence:

Diego and Johnny's first interaction during the first stage

They don't appear to know each other well, with Johnny referring to him as "this brit jockey, Diego Brando". Interestingly, Johnny compliments Diego's skill as a jockey.

Chapter 10: The Final Straight - 2000 Meters Left

And Diego indirectly compliments Johnny as well!

Chapter 11: The Final Stretch - 1000 Meters Left

2) Scary Monsters Arc

Johnny and Gyro come upon an injured Diego. Johnny, more than anything, is in disbelief. Given that this arc directly follows Wired, he's likely wondering if Diego was attacked as well. He doesn't seem particularly happy that Diego could be dropping out, the action lines indicating the thought has him vaguely concerned.

Johnny then attempts to get Gyro leave Diego be. Rather than any hatred, it seems he's mostly just suspicious about the circumstances of Diego's injury, given what rumors he's heard about him and, as mentioned above, he's distrustful of most anyone except Gyro due to the recent attack.

Furthermore, Johnny is the only one to notice something strange is happening to Diego. It's his reaction to the injury we see. Gyro, apparently, is oblivious to this (despite being closer), and thinks Diego's frustration is amusing. Johnny remains mostly confused.

A short while later, Diego miraculously catches up with them, and seems completely healed from the injury. Furthermore, he's acting extremely strange, leading to Johnny being even more suspicious and telling him to go away. On Diego's end, he actually compliments Johnny, as he did during the first stage. Johnny, however, continues to notice oddities about Diego's appearance and maintains his distance.

Johnny continues to be hyper-aware of Diego, vehemently protesting needing to sleep in the same spot. Gyro, by contrast, is much more relaxed, despite also seeing Diego act strangely earlier. Now Johnny insults Diego, though again, these seem to be just rumors he's heard and his own anxiety over being attacked. Rather than a personal hatred for Diego, this reads more like Johnny trying to convince Gyro to somehow move them farther from Diego out of worry / suspicion that he'll pull something.

Gyro leaves to gather firewood, leaving Johnny alone. Johnny makes coffee, and we get the rather infamous scene of Diego eating rocks. When Diego realizes Johnny is watching him and catches the scent of coffee, he has the audacity to ask for cup. Johnny questions him about his wound and Diego brushes it off. Johnny is not impressed, but, for whatever, reason, gives Diego a cup of coffee. Was he just trying to get him to leave? Was it a peace offering? Both? Anyway, he didn't toss it in his face or shoot him on sight. Despite all of the signs saying Diego is dangerous and Johnny is right to be suspicious, Johnny does not attack.

Also, why does he assume Diego wants to travel with him? Or that Diego would even ask him to travel together? Inch resting.

(this also reads a bit like little red riding hood, lol)

After a few pages of shenanigans, Diego snatches the cup from Johnny (though not without showing off first). Johnny calls him a slur, then wonders whether Diego even knows what he's doing. Despite Diego's overall strange behavior and Johnny's own reservations about him possibly being a 'terrorist', he still doesn't shoot.

Chapter 28: Scary Monsters (Part 1)

So, again, no real hatred for the guy. Then, once Ferdinand is taken care of and Diego grabs the eyes, Johnny says this:

Chapter 31: Scary Monsters (Part 4)

Now that Diego knows about the corpse - something coveted by everyone that Johnny too wants desperately - Johnny feels threatened. After being attacked, Johnny seems to believe the rumors he's heard about Diego have been confirmed, kicking off a more personal dislike for him.

3) Third Stage Goal

And here we see that... Johnny is mostly right. Diego is a very dangerous competitor, and he is using his new abilities to their full effect. Johnny warns Gyro not to underestimate him, again showing a certain respect for his skills despite his dislike for him.

Gyro chooses to plunge into the lake and Diego follows right behind him. Johnny, reluctantly, also follows, trying to convince Gyro to return. He tells Gyro plainly that he will lose, because Gyro doesn't want to win for himself badly enough.

Chapter 32: Third Stage Goal: Canon City

This is interesting to me. Johnny calls Diego a thief, and yet in his next sentence he doesn't actually condemn him for it. All he's telling Gyro is that Gyro, personally, needs to want to win. He needs to 'hunger' for it, like Diego does (paralleled in how Johnny 'hungers' for the corpse!). Despite everything, it's obvious that Johnny, if nothing else, respects Diego's skills and drive.

Diego then cheats at the end of the stage to try and beat Gyro, proving Johnny is right to say he's the type of the person to do anything to win (and thus proving his suspicions of Diego right, to a degree at least).

4) Catch the Rainbow Arc

This race follows up on a lot of the things brought up during the third stage, but now Gyro's got a new philosophy. While Diego is surprised by this change in attitude, he's not going to sit back and let Gyro win. Once again, Johnny's suspicions are proven correct when Diego cheats to try and win against Gyro. He attacks because he knows exactly what kind of person Diego is, and that Diego is, in all likelihood, somehow already attacking Gyro.

Chapter 39: Catch the Rainbow (Part 2)

Not much else to add, except that every time Johnny has suspected something is wrong / Diego is cheating... he's been right (lol).

5) A Silent Way

We get a lot more backstory for Johnny and a little more for Diego. This marks the first time Diego works in a team throughout the part, and it's also the first time we learn how easily he throws away his allies. But that happens later. What's important is this:

We suddenly learn that Diego has always been a presence in Johnny's life, albeit apparently indirectly. Given how they interact in the first stage, we can assume they likely ran only a few races against each other (also, given the Joestar family moved away from Britain sometime between Nicholas' death (when Johnny was around 7-9) and Johnny winning the Kentucky Derby at 16, any races between Johnny and Diego would have taken place before Johnny was 16, meaning it's been over four years since they've seen each other and Johnny's dad is still bringing this shit up.) Furthermore, Diego is pointed out twice during the flashback to Nicholas' death. It's possible Johnny associates him with the incident.

And then:

Chapter 42: A Silent Way (Part 3)

What we learn from this is that it's entirely possible Johnny holds some sort of latent resentment toward Diego - even if Diego never did anything to him personally, Johnny may have been inclined to believe the rumors about him simply because of Diego's association with his father (and all the trauma that surrounds that relationship).

The judgements Johnny has been making about Diego throughout the part are usually proven right, even if it's not to the extent of poisoning the horse's water. And yet, despite all this, it still doesn't seem as though Johnny actually hates Diego himself. Mostly, he's just relayed what he's heard about Diego to Gyro (the rumors), been (rightfully) suspicious of him, and has accurately judged Diego's character as someone who'd do anything to get what he wants - and who therefore presents a very active threat to Johnny and Gyro's hunt for the corpse. Moreover, he's also expressed a respect and appreciation for Diego's skills and drive. Johnny never personally insults him or attacks without cause, which, to me, doesn't really convey an intense personal hatred. We'll round back to Diego being involved in this attack in a moment.

6) Let's Talk D4C Arc

Johnny and Gyro resolve to hunt down Diego and steal the left corpse eye from him.

Chapter 64: Chocolate Disco (Part 1)

Johnny, as always, is very practical in his assessment. He has time and again accurately judged Diego's character to be dangerous and ambitious, and also recognizes that, when push comes to shove, Gyro tends to waver. As this arc follows Civil War, we as readers know the depth of Johnny's resolve. Yet, this still isn't motivated by a personal hatred of Diego - rather, it's just more corpse business, and recognizing the lengths Johnny himself (and Diego, as they are of a similar nature!) will go to obtain them. I do think Gyro's hesitation to kill being a repeated idea is fascinating, especially given his past as an executioner, but that's for another time.

Diego makes his introduction for the arc here:

Chapter 66: D4C (Part 1)

For whatever reason, he doesn't want Johnny dead. Is he hoping to ally with him? Maybe, but how useful is a Johnny 'on the verge of death'? For what purpose? He didn't seem to have a problem with killing Johnny earlier during 'Catch the Rainbow' (through, quite frankly, it wasn't clear if he was going to kill him there either, given he kept hesitating to follow through on his promise to 'tear you apart if you come within two meters of me', long enough for Gyro to get a shot in) (Chapter 39: Catch the Rainbow (Part 2))

Either way, we see that Diego now believes that Johnny is better left alive.

So, regardless of the later retconning of 'allowing multiple dimensions to exist simultaneously' for D4C's ability, through some series of contrivances, this then occurs (or well, technically occurs before the above conversation):

Chapter 68: D4C (Part 3)

(notice how since Catch the Rainbow we are now on a first name basis, for both parties. Inch resting.)

Soon followed by a recap of everyone's POVs, ending in:

Chapter 69: D4C (Part 4)

I find Diego's reaction to shooting Johnny very telling of his relationship with him. He honestly seemed to be in more disbelief than Wekapipo. Is it shock when he was so sure he was on the right trail? Surprise at who his bullets ended up shooting? (... regret? he did say he wanted Johnny alive).

This is why interpretation is fun!

And here's the kicker: Johnny still shows up and rescues him. In two different universes, two different versions of Johnny were found by Diego's raptors, and Johnny actually pulled up!

So, despite Diego being a very active threat, Diego having attacked them with Sandman / Soundman, Gyro and Johnny agreeing to beat him up just a few chapters earlier, Johnny calmly stating he's willing to kill Diego should Diego force his hand, Johnny still, literally half-dead, followed Diego's raptors because he realized Diego was asking for help. Additionally, Diego was banking on Johnny’s arrival! He fully trusted that Johnny would understand why he sent the raptors, and also trusted Johnny would come to help him (a very very interesting parallel to the Magenta Magenta situation a few chapter earlier). This, if nothing else, shows Diego’s confidence in Johnny’s abilities and a belief that Johnny is someone who can be relied upon. Coming from Diego? Yeah, I find that super interesting.

Johnny later recounts to Gyro that he did see Diego as one of the people shooting him. Yet he still, in two separate universes, came to help. Did he see Diego's reaction and understand the shooting was Valentine's doing? Did he think Valentine was the bigger threat and so decided to put aside grudges and work with Diego (despite knowing what tends to happen to Diego’s allies)? Or, despite his earlier words, does he actually just not want to see Diego unnecessarily dead and instead of rounding back with Gyro decided to try and help him? We don’t know.

We can extrapolate that Johnny probably assumed, if Diego was asking for help, it meant Diego was close to Valentine. Yet base!Johnny, even while Valentine was in the parallel universe and Johnny was actively bleeding out (and really in no condition to actually fight him if not immediately necessary) still stayed to see what would happen to Diego.

After Diego has crossed back into the base world, we see that both alt!Johnny and base!Johnny witness Diego sacrifice Wekapipo to escape.

Diego seems to express some regret for what he did to Wekapipo. Or rather:

Felt some sort of way that Johnny saw him do it.

Chapter 70: D4C (Part 5)

7) Diego's Death

I won't cover High Voltage arc here, since that's a different Diego, though it is worth exploring The World!Diego's similarities and differences to base!Diego at a later point.

Anyway, Johnny and Gyro follow Diego and now Hot Pants to chase down Valentine and Lucy. After a valiant effort, Diego is killed (Hot Pants soon follows).

Chapter 76: D4C (Part 9)

Again, not really any indication of hatred here. It's a statement of fact. No gloating, no cheering. Johnny at first seems rather affected, but quickly gets himself under control. After that it's all business and trying to save Lucy, then, of course, High Voltage.

Well, you've read this far. So, does Johnny hate Diego?

I actually don't think so!

I think he's deeply wary of Diego's character, and rightfully suspicious of his ambition, and willing to kill Diego to avoid being killed first, but I don't think Johnny has deep-seated hatred for him as a person. On a similar note, I don't believe Diego disliked Johnny at all. To me, it seems that the corpse frequently drove them into conflict, and Johnny had several good reasons for not liking Diego all that much, but never when I reading did I believe Johnny truly, deeply hated him (or vice versa).

They have a lot of neat parallels with Jonathan and Dio, the most significant of which I would point to being the respect they have for one another's drive and abilities despite the race and the corpse frequently pitting them against each other. Yet unlike Dio and even Jonathan, I don't think there was ever a period where they had animosity for one another that went beyond plain competition (for both the corpse and the race itself). Throughout the events of Phantom Blood and continuing into the rest of the original universe, Dio was the world's #1 hater of the Joestar family and it took a very long time for him to develop a genuine respect for Jonathan. And while Jonathan found it in himself to forgive Dio in the end, he states several times how much he hates Dio for constantly ruining his life (killing his dog, kissing his girlfriend, killing his dad, etc). Johnny and Diego were antagonistic at most, and I think if the narrative had gone differently might have made very interesting allies.

Nonetheless, their relationship is very complex and fun to dive into. Thanks for reading!

[we-love-morioh-cho]

People defending the whole child marriage thing in Steel Ball Run love to bring up 'historical context' as an excuse, saying that Araki absolutely had to have Lucy as a child bride to a grown man because this sort of thing happened during this era.

Firstly, when has JJBA ever been that concerned with historical accuracy? But more importantly, this argument completely falls flat because this isn't an accurate depiction of child marriage. We get this complicated explanation that Steven and Lucy had to get married because of threats from a gang and that they have a 100% non-physical/sexual/romantic relationship and it is more akin to a father-daughter dynamic. And while I at least appreciate that fact, this renders the 'historical context' point moot because this is not how child marriages are.

Real child marriages from this era (or any era - even today!!!!!) were not wholesome or platonic, the little girls married off to grown men were not protected or cared for. A man would never marry a little girl purely out of the goodness of his heart and never hurt or abuse her. The risk would never not be there. Men were not marrying girls for wholesome reasons, these little girls were victims of rape and violence and had no power at all. They were abused, they had their freedom taken from them, they were forced to birth children and many died young in horrific circumstances. This was all inflicted on them by their 'husbands' - their captors, their abusers, their rapists.

So, by the logic of 'historical accuracy', what do we make of this? When Araki shows us an adult-child marriage but then insists it's OK and safe, are we then to assume this also reflects real history? Why is he depicting this real world issue if he's then going to show such an impossible exception? Or does the argument of 'historical context' only go so far? If it's fair to say that this aspect was changed in spite of historical accuracy, then why couldn't the marriage itself be changed? What message is Araki imparting about child marriages when his example is so exceptional, so wholesome and is just unfairly misjudged by outsiders and the audience alike? What is the deep and vital message he imparts on us about this real life issue - an exploitative practice which continues to affect 650 million or around 20% of all girls and women on Earth to this day? Tell me.

The Cost-Efficiency Equation: How to Budget for Ball Valve Solutions

In the intricate world of industrial processes and fluid control, ball valves stand as fundamental tools, orchestrating the flow of liquids and gases with precision and reliability. However, integrating these essential components into an operational setup comes with a financial responsibility. Balancing cost-efficiency while ensuring optimal performance requires a strategic approach. Let's delve into the cost-efficiency equation of budgeting for ball valve solutions.

Understanding Ball Valve Basics Before delving into costs, it's crucial to grasp the fundamental workings of a ball valve. A ball valve controls the flow of fluids using a spherical closure, allowing for a quick and reliable shut-off. Its efficiency, durability, and ability to handle a wide range of pressures and temperatures make it a popular choice across industries.

Types of Ball Valves and Their Varied Costs Ball valves come in various types, each tailored to specific applications. The types, including trunnion-mounted, floating, and multi-port ball valves, differ in design, material, and operational capabilities, influencing their costs. Understanding the application needs and selecting the appropriate type is a vital step in budgeting effectively.

Material Matters in Budgeting Material selection significantly impacts the cost of ball valves. Common materials include stainless steel, brass, bronze, and exotic alloys. While stainless steel offers durability and corrosion resistance, it may come at a higher cost. Balancing material quality with budget constraints is key to achieving cost-efficiency.

Quality Assurance: Investing for Longevity Choosing a high-quality ball valve ensures longevity and reduces the frequency of replacements and maintenance, which can be costly in the long run. Quality assurance might come at a higher initial expense but proves cost-effective over the valve's extended lifecycle.

Installation and Maintenance Costs The cost of installing ball valves involves factors such as labor, accessories, and any modifications required in the existing system. Additionally, factoring in routine maintenance and potential repairs is vital for a comprehensive cost analysis.

Comparing Suppliers and Quotations The ball valve market is vast, offering numerous suppliers and options. Requesting multiple quotations, comparing features, and assessing the reputation and credibility of suppliers are essential steps in finding a cost-efficient solution without compromising quality.

Efficiency vs. Cost: Striking the Right Balance Efficiency is the ultimate goal, and it's essential to find a balance between cost and performance. A cheaper valve might save money initially but may cost more in maintenance and replacements. Conversely, overspending on features not required for the application is an avoidable expense.

Future-Proofing: Considering Expansion and Upgrades Anticipating future expansions or system upgrades is a crucial aspect of budgeting. Investing in slightly advanced ball valve solutions that can accommodate future needs can prevent significant expenses associated with frequent replacements.

Training and Expertise: Reducing Operational Costs Ensuring that personnel are adequately trained in the proper operation and maintenance of ball valves reduces the risk of errors and unnecessary expenses. Investing in training can be a cost-saving strategy in the long term.

Environmental and Regulatory Compliance Costs Adhering to environmental and regulatory requirements is non-negotiable. Ball valves that meet industry standards may come at a higher price, but the cost of non-compliance can be far greater due to penalties and operational disruptions.

In conclusion, budgeting for ball valve solutions is a strategic blend of understanding application needs, material selection, quality assurance, and long-term cost projections. Making informed choices aligned with both immediate and future requirements ensures cost-efficiency without compromising performance. Balancing the cost-efficiency equation allows industries to optimize their operations and embrace the advantages that reliable ball valve solutions offer get in touch with Freture Techno team if you have Ball Valve requirements.

(Pretty Vague) Spoilers for: Jojo's Bizzare Adventure Steel Ball Run Chapter 6

Polcolco's tarot reading really interested me so we will be doing a mini analysis.

Please Note: I do not claim to be proficient at tarot reading and analysis in any way, shape or form. This is for fun and if you wish to get a tarot reading done, please get it done by a professional. This has been a PSA issued for public safety and welfare.

Here are the cards as shown in the manga. As we can see, they are The Lovers card and (if you really zoom in) The Emperor card. They are both upright as well.

The Lovers

In Polcolco's context, the lovers symbolize trials overcome. Which is why the old lady says that for 2 months Polcolco will be successful in what ever he chooses to do.

The Emperor

This card carries a lot of meanings but for this case, I think the card symbolizes power and protection which will also aid Polcolco to be successful in what he chooses to do.

I'm not sure where she got the 2 months timing from tho.
