It look like Jobin is here. I thinked, he was was a lot more older, but it is the magic of Araki.

We finally got to see Jobin. He looks very young, even younger than Josuke. Yotsuyu's gone but here we have another character who wears spiky clothes... I like his design a lot.
A golden Lamborghini? Is Araki making fun of himself by exaggerating everything even more than what he already used to? A new level of fabulousness is rising...

You know what would be a perfect climax to Jojolion?

If Emporio tells the real truth of the universe and origins to Josuke.

Imagine.

Would Josuke believe him?
After all, they're strangers.

I think it's unlikely we'll ever see Emporio again though, it would confuse new readers... The poor kid must feel so lonely, he's the only one in the world to know what happened to the past universe

Let's bet on when the dog will die, shall we?

This chapter was quite funny, I wonder if Araki is eating a lot of fruits and going often to fruits shops? It kinda made me hungry.

But I guess the most important info of this chapter was that Jobin's is somehow related to the fruit.

Yasuho is always driven out by Higashikata's family. Poor Josuke, he wanted to see her so badly that he started to fantasized on her.
Oh btw, Araki's dresses never disappoint me. Jobin's look is fucking fabulous.

Even if that would happen, it wouldn't give any advantages nor disadvantages to Josuke, since he cares only for his lost identity and knowing it wouldn't either help him on that regard.

So many fabulous Stand poses and a lot of hilarious, yet insightful parfait talk.

Jobin seems to be a very interesting character and I wish we'd see more of Yasuho.

Nice chapter, and it was quite funny, it was hilarious how Josuke looked under the mattress for Yasuo.
The dog is weird, maybe he has a stand, the Fruit Perlor was very interesting and Jobin looks like a cool dude.
Jojolion is getting better and better, can't wait for the next chapter.

For some reasons the first thing that came to my mind was KABUTO MUSHI and Pucci. Then the scene of Rubber Soul eating the beetles.

The gaze of Jobin make me feel nervous, i bet he hide a lot of things about the plot.

The character design is perfect as per usual. Thanks Araki.

Same

It's good to see Josuke's eating habits haven't changed
And that was definitely not how I expected Jobin's entrance to be, but I liked how it was done.

Also, what was goin on with the dog? It kinda looked like it turned back to stone.

Best chapter in a while, I loved the interactions between Jobin and Norisuke, the dumb way Norisuke was trying to catch the dog (are you serious Araki), Gappy being dramating and all ("DON'T LET THE DOG GO AWAY!!!"), ^that panel, every page is gold.

I agree with pollito_360, Jobin looks suspicious. Do you remember when we were first introduced to Norisuke? To me, he looked like a gangster or something, he was somewhat suspicious (when he paid Joshuu, when he refused to take the pic, etc.).
Now I'm getting the same vibe from Jobin.
Maybe this is just a random quirk, but also the way he tried to cover Gappy with presents, it seems like a way to "buy" him...?

Finally, I wonder whose side would Norisuke take if we were to found out that Jobin really is the main villain.


(I didn't think of Tower of Gray oh god no that's a bad omen)

I could actually see Jobin being the main villain. Not necessarily by what's been shown thus far story-wise, but the fact that he has such a memorable design, and that hell of a first-page impression (the excellent art and that expression).

He also seems to have weird parallels to the Kira Yoshikage we alll know and love - both seem involved in sales, both share that uncanny death-stare, and if my suspicions about Norisuke are true, then both have a synergistic murder-relationship with their fathers. Maybe the story we've been given thus far on the "Kira Yoshikage" of this universe is a carefully fabricated lie? Or if it wasn't, what if he's somehow taken on the appearance of Jobin (just like vanilla Kira did with Kosaku Kawajiri?). They're also only one year apart in age (if even).

Always getting better as we go - whether Jobin and Norisuke are friends to Josuke or not, there's undoubtedly disturbing shenanigans going on that Josuke is going to have to confront.

Jobin feels like a pretty chill guy
and lol how the f did that parfait slips out of his mouth:D
looks like jobin is doing something shady in the background


anyway, i kinda hope the whole jojolion to be like this chapter. no fights, and the plot keeps going.
like you guys know right.. 70% people give up on this series because it still uses the monster of the week format.

and i do hope somehow in not so distant future we will get an OVA for this part. because im just dying to see S&W animated

Anyway, giving that all of the famiyl had Stands with a "King" name so far I guess we should start to randomly predict the name of Jobin's Stand as well. My favourite ideas:
King Of Hollywood - Eagles
King Of Pain - The Police
King Of The Road - Roger Miller
King Rupert Awakes - King Crimson
Kingfish - Randy Newman
King Of My Castle - Wamdue Project
..or he can just add King to whatever song he feels like at that time.

By the way, I noticed we still don't have a lot of Stands that reference queens or the Queen Of Pop herself. I think that would make for a nice contrast. Maybe all the Joestars in this part have Stands that relate to "queens" as a theme (Lady Gaga someone who is often referred to as a somewhat modern version of Madonna and Kira had Killer Queen), to highlight the differences between the families? I mean, Gappy is named after a Prince.. the son of a king and a queen....

I hope it's King of Pain, it sounds really good and considering the curse it could make sense. ...Not that may of the stands's names make sense but well.
It's very hard to predict though, Araki could also take a song with no "King" in it add it, just like he did with "King Paper Moon".

We do have a stand named after a Lady Gaga's song, Nijimura's "Born this way". And her brother had Killer Queen... It would be cool indeed if a new Kira relative were to debut with a queen-themed stand. If I recall correctly Holly was able to see Paisley Park so she could be a stand user as well.

Here some more fuel for our theories.

Oh, and I forgot to mention one of my favourite songs that have a "King" in it. Wamdue Project's "King Of My Castle". I would love Araki even more if he included this.

Jobin appeared at last. I don't like him, he seems suspicious somehow, or maybe he is just bizarre in his own way.

I love how Josuke is just unable to eat anything without making a mess, lmao.

King Nothing just became a little more interesting by being able to restore the original shape of objects. Makes way more sense with the puzzle like design of his stand.

Also Jobin seems like a very fun character, even though he seems to be involved in the fruit thing somehow.

Man, Rocky is such a cute little doggo, can't wait to see how Araki massacres our boi.

Great chapter, Norisuke's parfait talk was great, he's really been increasing in my favourite character list. Jobin also makes an immediately strong impression, great design, really likable personality, fun dynamic with his father, and just the right touch of suspicion with the ending bit.
