Shit Tsurugi is creepy.

Also, that prison raises serious questions. It's pretty clear that Kira must have been kept there at some point, which obviously involves the grudge that Kyou seems to have against "the goddamn Higashikatas". The real question is why.

This is some Richard D. James bullshit right here.

I have a feeling Araki was attempting a horror show but seriously, facebomb? As always, nice atmosphere though.

So Tsurugi's ability is to remove a person's ability to recognise faces? In theory this shouldn't be too big of an issue so long as they are able to tell one another apart from their clothing/other characteristics unique to them, but I'm sure there's probably a bit more to this that'll complicate matters even more.

Personal prediction:

Wow, now we kinda know that Kira was kept in that basement by Higashikata family, but why? Tsurugi said something like "Higashikata's family's goal is ... Prosperity for the next generation", we can assume then that Kira was needed for this purpose.

Also, is it possible to assume that they wanted Jousuke/Kira's blood for procreating and stuff? These are just my speculations, don't mind me at all.

Anyway, those faces were creepy as hell, like Tsurugi himself. What a precocious child ...
One of the things I like the most from JoJolion is the distressing atmosphere, it's really great.

Can't wait to see Jo2uke and Yasuho combo, against Tsurugi, the next chapters looks really exciting.

Jojolion continues to be even more bizarre than most of the previous parts.
And it is interesting to notice that Yasuho forgot that Yo2uke had 4 testicles, maybe the Stand takes away the ability to recognize ANY kind of unique feature.
Steel Ball Run anime when?

That's an interesting idea, I just completely dismissed her not realising about the "4 Dango Balls" as her being ditzy, but that does seem plausible. If this does prove to be the case then Paisley Park will definitely play a large role (not that I thought any of us doubted that of course) in defeating Tsurugi's ability. That said she definitely recognised Josuke's voice over the phone and we've yet to see if they can recognise each others body language so we'll just have to wait and see what the limitations to this ability are.

very weird chapter...it was obviously a set up chapter so it's hard to judge it but it was nice to have a chapter after the month off for araki san. im very curious to whether the identical faces is a part of tsurugi's stand and if so what is the benefit of such an ability.

Wierd chapter to say the least... but.. Jojo has always been wierd in someways, and this series is no exception (I'd even say that this is the wierdest Jojo series XD).

Tsurugi's power is pretty absurd, but at the same time it can give birth to a really cool strategic and tactical battle.. which I'm always looking forward to.

I think that probably Araki with this series wants to give sort of an "horror" atmosphere to the story.

Really creepy ability.
It would have been better if the faces she sees would be more cool.

What the hell...?! xD Tsurugi is creepy and his Stand is bizarre, but somehow I found the whole situation funny (although it was sad to see Yasuho cry :/ ).

@St0rmblade, that's what it makes it so awesome. :D At least for me.

Reminds me of that scene from Despicable me where that woman sees Gru's face everywhere XD

Huh, wasn't expect her to be able to just leave and not fight the kid, lol. The same face thing is definitely something she wants to get rid of. Wonder if Josuke will aid her in battle or if she'll end up solving it on her own. Although Josuke stepping on that origami thing gotta have some significance, he's bound to be involved in some capacity I suppose.

The prison under the Higashikata mansion is interesting. That family is seriously effed up.

That's a very unique stand, not sure what Tsurugi's goal is but I'm really interested in that "prison" room in the basement

Such a weird stand. So it takes away one's ability to distinguish faces.
Kira was probably imprisoned in the basement, though I wonder for what purpose.
