Very interesting stuff.

Acca Howler seems to be our main villain, and if he is (which, lol, come on, very likely) I am VERY excited about, because we have FINALLY broken Toru's curse!!!!! No more main villains being introduced 7/8 of the way through a part!!

Otherwise he seems very interesting to me. I really like his design, and his Stand seems interesting too. He reminds me SLIGHTLY of Gyro, and a little bit of Valentine how he says he discovered the powers of the Lava Rock when he was a child. It seems to me that he has been manipulating the rock form Hualalai to become as stupidly rich as he is -- the same thing Jodio wants to do.

Otherwise, Bobby Jean and Lulu are a fun bunch. I bet you they won't be one time antagonists. Plus, Jodio's gang's interactions were hilarious, Usagi is probably one of the best comic relief main characters in the entire series.

Very excited to see where this goes, Howler is an intimidating force!!

I think Howler is the main villain, I do wonder what his ability will be. I am liking this new part and I’m hoping that we get to see more Jodio moments soon!

All the Howler Corp stands look terrifying. I'm especially bracing for what Acca's going to do.

Howler's character design is so good, it does give Gyro a bit + Giorno because of his hair

I guess he's the main antagonist, his stand is probably gonna be some insane shit

This was a really good chapter packed with lots of stuff. Howler seems like main villain material. The MRI shenanigans were funny. Excited to see how Glory Days works.

@Captainjeddy The Howler is a king crimson song, he is so the main villain. At least I hope so I really pray this doesnt make the same mistake part 8 just did.

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

I got really hyped in this part during the first arc with the heist on Rohan's house, then it kinda died down. But I'm super hyped again because of this potential main antagonist.

I really liked Acca Howler's design and it would be really cool if we got a main antagonist being introduced early on again. Even if there's a Howler family as the antagonists and he's not the head of the family I still want him to be the main villain. I think it would be cool to see him getting continuously screwed over because of Jodio and the lava rock, starting with those bankers and eventually by his family, making him getting gradually more pissed off.

Btw, in his stand's elbow there's something that looks like the cover of King Crimson's album Larks' Tongues in Aspic, that's a cool stand name but probably it's too long.

This part continues to impress me with just how fun it is to read monthly. I remember reading JoJolion and for some chapters, it didn’t feel like a ton happened, but so much has happened and been shown so far in this part. The characters are so fun and OMG WE GOT A NEW MAIN VILLAIN PROBABLY.

Hahaha, that's exactly what I was thinking too.

Maaan, this chapter was so, so, so peak. That goes for like, every chapter but far out, couldn't stop freakin' out while reading this one! The pace was great, what a way to introduce Acca Howler, the villain of the Part! The narrative, aaaah! The stuff with the rocks is awesome. The story implications for both the protag side as well as the villain side is strong, though every chapter's made that pretty evident. The comedy was great too, the protag group really feels their age in the best way. The MRI joke is so good, poor Usagi, hahaha. The paneling was also expert stuff, Araki being good at art and paneling isn't some weird surprise sure but what a fun chapter to read purely with how fun the pages were!
Stand tease for Acca, plus a Stand reveal for Bobby? Duuuude.

@ColintheBigYosh
Funnily enough, while I started Part 8 back in high school, I stopped and waited till it was over before properly reading it, and yeah, even when reading it all in one go, the pace is way less fun/exciting compared to how reading Part 9 monthly has been. The second half of Part 8 was a slog, the exciting bits like Ojiro's return would only sometimes kick in. Basically every chapter here on the other side of things has been incredibly exciting/fun, Araki's cooking up one of the best Parts if it keeps this good throughout.

@Wiziliz you’re so right this chapter was honestly peak, I can’t speak too much on JoJolion because most of it was out by the time I got to it, but I read about 10 or so chapters of that as they came out, and some of them were really slow, even though the final battle is so good. I can’t say the same about Part 9 so far, maybe aside from the Cat Size fight.

Yeah, the cat arc might be the least engaging part so far but if you see it as the prelude to the Charmingman fight, it's not much a problem! Like Part 5's worst fights (Little Feet as one of them) is still good, and the cat fight here was pretty funny at least and was a pretty neat ability to fight. I wouldn't put it down on the level of like, the Rock Insects, in engagement. But yeah, I agree still that aside from that fight the pace has been awesome in Part 9.

We already see Howler! That surprised me, hopefully he's one of the main villains that Araki builds up over time and doesn't come out of nowhere like Tooru.

I really like the characterization of Howler. I hope we get to know him as closely as Kira for example.

It would be nice to have a villain that is present for a majority of the part again. I like part 8 a lot, but I do admit that it could've introduced Toru a bit earlier

Looking like its gonna be an interesting fight next chapter. Although idk how they are gonna fight the user if they all just got swisscheesed by gunfire in their first encounter

FINALLY after ZERO WHOLE PARTS we broke the curse of villains being introduced late into the story

WE ARE COOKING. all these villains are incredible. excited to find more out about howler. i didn't comment this last chapter bc i was a few behind, but it's funny that because araki probably hasn't used American hospitals, he envisions the gang just walking into a hospital, then into an MRI room, and the staff are just like "do you got a reservation number" when they would have likely had cops on their ass by the second if not the first door they tried to walk through.

This chapter introduced a big potential big bad, followed 3 separate plotlines, explored the stories' themes, and was enjoyable overall. It's probably my favorite chapter so far due to its potential. I am excited to see what comes next.

I actually do not think Acca is the main villain, I actually think there might be a team up.
