| Yes, part 7 is a hard reboot in a new continuity. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| I mean you can, but why skipping part 4 tho... Part 4 isn't even my fav part. |

PermanentHaki said: @thischeetobussin im trying to read all top manga and i dont have patience to watch 200 episode of all other jojos lmao OCD I guess, otherwise reading JoJo part 7 without any basic knowledge of other previous parts is an absolute no-no. |
| Steel Ball Run wasn't even advertised as a Jojo manga when it first came out in Japan. |

| 3 trillion years of samsara and your bloodline forever tainted for manga part skipping |
| There really isn't a principled stance on why you shouldn't skip parts, but there's a small chance you might regret it. It's not like watching Aliens instead of Alien, or watching T2 Judgement Day instead of The Terminator; It's more like watching Prometheus, or starting any other franchise from a reboot for that matter. A lot of people got into Mad Max through Fury Road. People get really flustered about JoJo, but it's not out of an actual principle. They just like the series and are mad you're not giving it the commitment they think it deserves. |

| I recommend watching or reading parts 1-3 to get the references in part 7, you dont need to rush to experience part 7 lol |
| You can but imo the magic of early steel ball run is how reference heavy it is to 1-6 esp in the beginning. A lot of people think early sbr is super boring but I loved that aspect about it. I think I love part 4 as much as sbr personally and seeing how araki evolved from part 1 to 4 and to 7 is something really cool. If ur struggling with part 1 I get it I’m there with u but I also really love part 2 and 5 was great |

| And here I am, having just finished reading Jojo's Part 2 and beginning to read Part 3. If I knew I could start Part 7, I should just start reading Part 7 instead of Part 1, lol. |
| Technically you could, since it's a reboot. However i would suggest you not to. Since other than a lot of references and cameos to the previous universe, even the powers and battle system is the same. You wouldn't be able to fully appreciate the new abilities introduced in this part since you could not compare it to the previous ones. |

You don’t have to read the other parts to understand this one but just out of curiosity, why do you wanna skip the parts? They’re great, I honestly can’t think of a single part I didn’t like personally.
| @thischeetobussin for me, though i don't want to offend anyone, season 1 and 2(tho i didn't finish it) felt extremely boring and it just put me off, the story kinda felt all over thr place so i didn't have the will to continue, so i jumped to 7 and it's honestly going decent, just feels better. |
 |
| too much of a hurry to jump on the bandwagon of sbr? take ur time n read all the parts |

| You should never skip Parts EVER. People only want instant gratification nowadays jeez. I have no respect for skippers |

| Interesting, OP watches/reads stuff just because of FOMO? |

| @Blueberry173 it feels like you're not interested in watching JoJo at all. Part 1 being boring is understandable but part 2? nahh that an L take. then you skipped to part 7? Jesus people nowadays have low life span in watching/reading shts. I suggest you stop watching or reading jojo the show is not for you and that's ok |

| @shrade117 don't worry my attention span is very good as a medical student lol. I have watched/read many slow burners and most of my favourites are like that too, so that is definitely not the problem. As i said i dropped s2 quite early, mostly because it still couldn't keep my interest because of s1 being such a slog, well yeah jojo is definitely not for me but short attention span is definitely not the reason. |
