The fight continue and Norisuke try to protect Josu2ke in the end of the chapter. The cover of the Ultra Jump is just superb.

I just caught up to where JJL is now, do the chapters come out monthly in Ultrajump? If so how quick are they usually translated?

Read through JJL until now and its my favourite arc so far. The bizarreness and mysteries in the story is just excellent.

The chapter is out the 19th each month. The translate is done, but not the scan. Anyway, I read in French and the translate is done before English.

It seems like Araki's style is shifting again, a few things are drawn differently and I like the direction he seems to take.

Btw, someone on the Jojo forums made an interesting post about Yotsuyu's powers:
So I think the gravity thing in the title might be the key between Yotsuyu's abilities. I'm speculating that he's able to assume the traits of a celestial body, or is able to imitate a planet's traits. He's able to phase through the earth, take on physical properties like stone, and generate a gravitational field for a particular type of object (even while phasing).
He wasn't duplicating objects, he just planted them for when an intruder was going to approach the detached house.
As for the eyeball cloth... maybe he can generate stuff that's all natural?

I'm probably wrong. It's incredibly broken boss-tier stuff in any case.

I agree, I like the new direction that Araki is taking.

Jo2uke who is trying to protect with his life Yasuho.
We glimpsed a flashback on Norisuke, that was pretty interesting to see.

Also, Yotsuyu said something that "should" be a hint, but it was quite too vague.

As for Yotsuyu's powers I'm not sure. I could have never predicted Araki's mind in the past, so I can't possibly think to do so now. Instead I found particularly interesting the evolution of Stand&Wet. It seems that Jo2uke is finally understanding to master his Stand. (Even though I'm sure he's still far from knowing its true power).

Oh BTW, THE COVER OF YASUHO WAS LOVE.

i liked the chapter a lot but i wish we could get more plot progression per month. lately the pacing has been somewhat slow compared to earlier on.

yagiyama''s stand is really cool so far i'd love to get the specifics on all of it's abilities because before he was just using that transparent screen thing (on yasuho), then he started making things gravitate towards his enemies, and now he can become and to an extent control rock. his stand is just kind of all over the place.

also a new offensive ability from soft and wet although i kind of thought that josuke would be able to use the small bubbles to remove the minerals from yagiyama's body and render him defenseless this chapter.

I also noticed he is quoting Simon & Garfunkel with his "I am a rock" lines. Seems the Stand will be named after them and won't be called MC Hammer/Can't Touch This like I assumed earlier. I bit disappointing :(

Yeah, the scene with Yasuho was very confuse, but I think that sheet (as the ability to turn in a rock) is from his body constitution. And he probably used his stand in himself to make the rocks pierce the bubble.

Oh yeah...

A pissed off Jo2uke declares war on Yutsuyu for trying to hurt Yasuho. He was a total badass there.

Personally I'm still assuming that Yutsuyu's Stand's ability is really just the gravity thing and the rock stuff has something to do with his body and/or whatever it is that he's trying to "obtain" and makes him so mad at Jo2uke.

Yes, you were re-reading SBR, which is totally how you thought of that almost instantly after I posted this exact same theory on the JJBA facebook group, and even though this screencap isn't even from SBR.

And, you know, just so happened to link directly to the photo from my post.

Also, I'm totally digging Yotsuyu. I had an idea that he might be a fused person like Josuke, but instead of having a fused stand he retained both abilities. I don't believe it though, the theory Nidhoeggr posted sounds a lot more plausible. Also, hoping that his stand name is Gravity of Love and not I Am A Rock, I Am An Island

So it's actually from part 8? Oh boy, the corpse is already becoming the arrow of the SBR verse. These hijinks don't bother me as much as some readers but it does become tiresome, there was more than enough about the corpse in SBR (at least that was my feeling, I was much more interested in the race and such).

Then again I might be seeing it out of context or something. I should probably shut up and keep reading.

They don't have enough power to destroy the body.

Really wonder how this guy is doing this stone thing, it doesn't seem to be his stand. Guess it'll be explained later on.

Interesting that Josuke can put entire people into his bubble. I was wondering if he can go that far with his bubbles. Luckily, Yotsuyu's ability doesn't seem to have that much range at least.

I was listening to "I Am a Rock" by Simon & Garfunkel while reading this, and I turned the page to the panel of Yagiyama saying "I am a rock, I am an island" right at that part in the chorus, it was a cool experience.

Jo2uke using his soap bubbles on stone boy was a really cool use of his ability and strategy, even if the results were short-lived.

On a reread it's one thing to see people speculating on his ability when I know what it is, but it's a whole nother when the volume release has the explanation for his ability right at the end of this chapter, lol.

I wonder if Yotsuyu's stand is related to gravity.
