First time following a JoJo part and it didn't disappoint. 

An outstanding first chapter. I loved the premise which this chapter established. Jodio(Jo + Dio) seems like alternate Giorno(Jo + Dio = Jio) with his age and the time limit of the story(12 days). 

The stands are as cool as ever. I hope November Rain gets an upgrade so it can do a stand barrage.

loved the characters, the vibe, the stands, everything is very solid to start here; especially the plot, I love how it feels very similar to part 5 with the organized crime but Araki is able to create a completely new and fresh feeling with a similar concept to start.

The concept of mechanisms introduced through Jodio is very profound i can't wait to see how it is explored. The fact that such deep thinking is coming from a 15 year old is wild but I can't be too surprised with him being a Joestar after all. I love his personality so far, I think he'll have some pretty incredible moments later on. Surrounding him with others is a great place to put him in. He doesn't seem very expressive so I can't wait to see how he mingles with others on a mission.

Dragona isn't trans, he's intersex, and he/him are the correct pronouns.
where are you getting this information from lmao..
dragona's pronouns aren't he/him there are no pronouns or gendered words used for them the entire chapter other than jonadio calling them 兄さん, unlike jonadio who is called 少年` and 彼 straightaway which is clearly a conscious decision. otherwise dragona speaks completely femininely. you can use any pronouns you like for dragona but telling people stuff like this at this point is just false
Jodio literally explained he's a man who likes to dress feminine and used his stand to give himself breasts. That's it, he's not trans, which is why Jodio still refers to him as he/him. But whatever, it's too early to say, I assume Araki will explain better in the upcoming chapters.

but he didn't call him a man or use he/him, that's just whatever the fantranslator decided to do 🤡 it's NOT in the original Japanese.
like i said, you can interpret dragona however you like at this point as we have like 5 pages to go off of, but saying stuff like "dragona's pronouns are this" "dragona is a man" is just simply false! 
also "used stand to give breasts" is just completely wrong it doesn't say that anywhere LOL jodio just vaguely says that dragona gets some sort of "beauty injections" - whether this means some sort of botox or HRT we don't know, and it's clear jodio, who is only 15, doesn't seem exactly informed on the situation which i think is endearing tbh

I fuckin loved this chapter. My first observation, and the one that will stick with me, I think, is as compared to the og universe's protags being "good" (even when doing bad shit like Giorno being a mafia member, he won't sell to children), Jodio and the new universe protags actually seem to be like... actually bad, flawed people. Like, this is a realistic depiction of Giorno, a kid in high school selling drugs, beating up cops (even if they're rapey), and planning a heist. It's so fresh to see likeable but genuinely bad people, and my first prediction is I actually think this time, either it will turn out the protags are the bad guys, or Jodio or other members of the party will die. I don't think we'll get a nice "jotaro and group save the world and are righteous" story, and I'm so, so excited to see how it plays out.

Also, my only disappointment was it was in fact November Rain, and not November Has Come :(
Beating up cops who were in the process of raping your sibling is absolutely not morally gray in the slightest lol. It's the morally good action.

that isn't the morally grey part, this is obviously ok lol. the morally grey part is the cops WERE right (before they started raping which is BAD) about the car not being theirs, and then they burned the evidence of what they did (and arguably killed the cops, if they left them alive there's no shot they won't get identified), they sell drugs and are ok with theft. Pretty morally grey and even arguably just morally bad. My hope would be either they die saving the world/realizing they're the bad guys, or they grow morally as people in the course of trying not to get murdered by magic gravity ghosts.

That was a pretty exciting and good first chapter. We got to know a bit about Jodio and Dragona, and meet the people they plan to steal the diamond with. I think it's definitely an interesting and fun cast of characters and I'm excited to see how each of them will interact. I really like Jodio and Dragona's bond the most though. I think the stand designs are really cool, but we have yet to see what November Rain can truly do. I personally didn't enjoy the scene with the cops and kind of just wanted it to get over with, but it was pretty important as we got a cool introduction to how these characters act and respond to certain situations, who they are as characters, what kind of place Hawaii is for these characters because we get to see how they have to deal with the cops, it was a good introduction to their stand ability and of course it showed us how they use their abilities.

I was more interested in what we saw after that scene, where we got to see Jodio's living situation, and got introduced to Dragona and their mother, the kind of things he does at school, people he works with and deals for and what happens behind the scenes, but most excitingly, we got to see what the main motive right now is, to steal that diamond. I'm very excited to see what happens from all of this.

The biggest question of this chapter I have though is, who is this Japanese person who will be staying in Hawaii for 12 days? Will they be able to get this diamond? I sort of thought that the diamond would be how Jodio gets filthy rich, but only less than $40,000? It's still a lot, but I'm anticipating what will make Jodio, FILTHY rich. Excited!

Well I only read it in english, so I wouldn't know.
Jodio said he never saw him taking injections, it's safe to assume he used his stand as it's literally part of his ability.

If I was being charitable, you probably were trying to say Jodio is more amoral and therefore more realistic than good two shoes giorno to fit the rest of your comments point. But this doesn't really make sense. A 15 year old beating up cops and planning a jewelry heist is not realistic at all. A 15 year old beating up cops is about as realistic as a 15 year old beating up gangsters. A 15 year old being pissed at the cops and being a drug dealer is probably as realistic as a 15 year old being mad about drugs ruining his community.

Being a bad person isn't more realistic than being a good person.

I appreciate your effort, but the comparison I was making was a more realistic depiction of someone "in the mafia" (selling hard drugs at 15) in 2020 (keeping in mind this is a manga and isn't 100% accurate to the real world) than Giorno who was never actually seen doing anything illegal besides stealing money (and presumedly other stuff) and lived in the 1900 somethings? maybe early 2000s at latest?
