Ok I need to rant about jjba part 8 because my brother is taking literally forever to finish it and I need to talk about my feelings

Ok. Hi. You have entered here willingly and so now I don't have to apologize. Lmao.

Ok first off Jojolion is not bad. I liked a lot of it quite a bit, actually. Josuk8 is great, I love Yasuho SO much, and Rai is literally my babygirl I love him so much I wish he was introduced sooner DAMMIT!!!!!!!

The romance between Josuk8 and Yasuho is also the most adorable thing I have ever seen. Jjba is a series that rarely ever focuses on romance (well unless you look at it with the perspective of These Bitches Gay but I digress) and that is genuinely one of my favorite parts of the series, the only downside being that a lot of jojos are paired up eventually, and usually to a woman who is barely a character which is really unfortunate. But Josuk8 and Yasuho's relationship is literally my favorite thing about Jojolion.

They are so fucking cute and wholesome and avoid so many pitfalls that usually come with romances. For example when Toru is introduced as Yasuho's ex she clearly talks to Josuk8 about it and how he doesn't have to worry. Josuk8 and Yasuho are never torn apart by Toru because they COMMUNICATE, even if Josuk8 does still act out of jealousy a few times.

The thing that bothers me about this is how their relationship is resolved, mainly due to the worst thing about the part: pacing.

Josuk8 and Yasuho never actually become a fully certified couple by the end of their part. Idk what part 9 may throw in but I personally think this is REALLY disappointing, even if it was just a minor piece of dialog in the lasg chapter or something really I wish their relationship was fully solidified. (Maybe I missed something, I dunno)

Another pacing issue comes with my aforementioned beloved lil shit, Rai.

I love Rai. He literally shows up and serves cunt for like 40 chapters and then he dies an icon and legend for all to aspire to. But the thing about him is that he shows up for 40 chapters in a 110 chapter part. Rai is supposed to be the final member of the Jojolion cast, but he shows up so late that he feels like such a wasted opportunity. Also his death.... very unfortunate. The deaths in part 9 never resonated with me aside from Johnny (because holy fuck) and Jobin (because damn I did not expect him to die). Unfortunately Rai's death is no different. Jojo deaths after part 1 are always fast and unexpected and moved on from quickly because they have to be, but they still get their time to resonate with the audience. Rai's death to me wasn't like that, it felt glossed over. I got the same feeling with Kei too, which just really made me sad. I loved those two and they felt like they were done so dirty because of how fast the plot moves in the last few chapters compared to almost everything else in the part which is so weird.

And aside from the pacing... sigh.

Joshu fucking sucks.

That's all I'm gonna say about him. Well actually I just wanna say that literally the only arc I have ever skipped ever in the entirety of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure was one where the focus was on Joshu and only Joshu. It was also an arc very similar to one done in part 7 and it was done INFINITELY better there because it's part 7.

Anyways I have done so much complaining and I want to do more (like how a lot of the Higashikata family felt wasted, or how Kei deserved more time in the spotlight, or how the Fruit and existence of stone humans confuses the fuck out of me, or how Toru was barely even a character, or-) but I really want to talk about the things I fucking adore about this part. No strings attached, just things I fully loved.

Firstly, the Fun Fun Fun arc is one of my favorite arcs in all of jjba.

It's a fucking INSANE introduction to the part and has a gag so fucking amazing I literally drew a shitpost inspired by it which has never actually been posted to tumblr so uhhh. Enjoy.

Wonderful arc, absolutely horrific and just utterly perfect. I can't believe it took so long for jojo's to take inspiration from Saw.

That's not the only arc I love either! The one where Josuk8 is hunted by people who can only go in straight lines?!?!?!?!?!? WHERE HE LOSES?!?!?!!?!?!? BECAUSE THE STAND USER FORCES HIM TO EITHER GIVE IN OR KILL A FUCKING BABY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? AND THEN YASUHO SAVED HIS ASS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!!??!!?!?!?!?!? FUCKING PEAK ASS SHIT RIGHT THERE.

And the arc with the ski lift!! Rai you little freak of nature I love you SO MUCH.

HIS INTRODUCTION IS FUCKING PERFECT HE LITERALLY JUST SAYS THIS

AND THEN HE'S FUCKING RIGHT

PEAK CHARACTER. LOVE THIS MAN.

AND THE BEETLES AND THE CAR IN THE TREE (???) AND THE HATO ARC AND THE JOSEPH JUMPSCARE AND LOVE LOVE DELUXE JUST AUAYSHSNZJZK

This part has so much amazing stuff in it I swear!! It's so good!!!!!! And so weird!!!!!!!! And then it just kinda. Joshu.

This part is so upsetting to me because I love it so much, the fact that it is such a mixed bag makes me sad

But it is what it is, and we don't know wher part 9 may lead. Maybe Josuk8 will be like his alternate self and stay in Morioh, or maybe he'll come visit his (half) cousins in Hawaii... who knows.

I have a love/hate relationship with part 8 and I am still really conflicted about it. I do want to read it again though and give it a second chance, skipping the arcs that really dragged it down in the process. Maybe that could improve my future experiences idk.

Anyways, in conclusion: Yoshikage Kira is a bitch in every fucking timeline he literally drove a man insane for no reason what the fuck is wrong with him???????????

ALSO THE MONA LISA JUMPSCARE??

(Apologies for calling Josuke "Josuk8" the whole time it's just so I could avoid confusing myself lmao)

hi this is something i really care about but in the end it’s just me stuttering and fucking up for 10 minutes, please listen to it

[transcrip of what i’m saying or trying to say under the cut]

Hi, I'm Tumblr user biquoi or speedbaegon and since I don’t really have anything to do I wanted to make this little record. I’m italian and a JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Fan and since Vento Aureo's anime is supposedly coming for 2017 I thought it would be good to explain to you how to pronounce Vento Aureo's character's names -because I thought it would be nice just to... spread this little knowledge, as I'm guessing not many people know how to pronounce italian name which is quite normal, I guess, but it can be really annoying and also for you too it could be something good to know.

So starting with the main character: Giorno Giovanna. Giorno means day in italian and Giovanna is the feminine counterpart for Giovanni which are common girls and boys names.

Then we have Bruno Buccellati, or Bucciarati, I don’t know why there are two ways to say his surname but Buccellati is probably the most correct way, because as far as i know Bucciarati is the way the japanese pronounciation changes the way its written... but it's more correct in italian to say Buccellati I guess. Then we have Leone Abbacchio. Leone means lion in italian, and abbacchio is a kind of meat. You say it like if there were two "k"s at the end of the name.

Then we have Guido Mista, and also his stand Sex Pistols features the numbers from one to seven except four, obviously. So there are Uno Due Tre, Cinque Sei and Sette, so this is how you pronounce his stand.

Then we have Narancia Ghirga, which if im not wrong “narancia” doesn’t really come from italian because for orange we say "arancia" without the N, and if I’m not wrong it’s supposed to be like from... spanish? I think?

Then we have Pannacotta Fugo and... it's pretty plain I guess there's not much to say about his name.

Then we have Trish Una, which is kind of weird to say I guess. Trish is a common name, more or less, but Una isn’t really a name or surname... as with everyone actually, their names and surnames mostly come from food in general, they aren't really common name but, whatever i guess, it's jojo, i mean...

Then we can go on to the villains -oh i didn’t mention characters like Jean Pierre Polnareff or the other ones that make an appereance like Koichi and Jotaro

If we go on to the villains we have other names like Pericolo uhhh- Pericolo isn’t a villain, sorry- but Pericolo, the main villain Diavolo, which means “devil”, Vinegar Doppio, vinegar isn’t an italian word, but doppio is, and it means “double”, then we have Squalo, Tiziano, Carne, Cioccolata, Secco, Polpo, Zucchero, Sale, Risotto Nero- This one is quite important I guess, Risotto is a character many people love, I don’t know if in english you would say his name with like a zed? like rizotto? but its actually risotto, with a soft s, so that's that. Then we have Formaggio, and I don’t know if you have this sound in english, Illuso, Prosciutto (it varies in the regions in italy), Pesci, Melone, Ghiaccio Sorbetto, Gelato, and then we have Leaky Eye Luca (then we have Scolippi and S dont really remember who that is........)

These are all characters from Vento Aureo, I’m reading them off the wikia so I don’t forget anyone.

Also while were here I was thinking about the other italian characters as in JJBA there are many, but they don’t really have italian names, except for Lisa Lisa which is the italian correspondant to Elizabeth, so in a way it’s correct.

Also Suzie Q, which is kinda weird because Suzi(e) or Susi(e) could be the abbreviation of Susanna which is actually an italian name, but yeah it’s written with the zed and it has the q at the end which doesn’t make any sense but ok.

Then we have all the Zeppeli family, so from William (which isn’t italian), then we have Caesar Antonio, by the way yeah that’s is his second name, then we have Gyro, but i repeat these are not italian names, and I don’t know if I’m forgetting anyone.

Obviously we have Dio, the italian word for “god”, and it’s used throughout all the parts.

I dont think im forgetting anyone - I haven’t finished jojolion so I dont know if there’s anyone in JJL who has an italian name but i dont think so.

mmm I’m trying to think back but yeah this is pretty much it... I hope I’ve been sort of helpful, somehow uhmm it’s someth- oh obviously I’m forgetting about Enrico Pucci, how could I forget about him.

Yeah but other than that I’m done, so yeah I was saying this is something I’m really passionate about because I realise for how famous JJBA is, it’s obvious that mistakes could happen and people could be pronouncing names wrong, and it's something i really care about when it’s about like series im really passionate about OK YEAH IM RAMBLING ITS BEEN TEN MINUTES. Nobody is ever going to listen to this anyway, but thank you if you listened to this rambling adio this far, and yeah, have a nice day.

edit: im adding this later but I forgot about Bruno and Narancia’s battle cries which are “arrivederci” and “volare via”, but yeah I think those are mentioned in the video game so you could go and look that up? whatever, bye!

EDITx2: AS IM WRITING THIS I FORGOT ABOUT TONIO TRUSSARDI
