Discussion Guidelines

Spoiler Courtesy

Please follow these rules to avoid inadvertent spoilers. Some folks are reading JoJo for the first time and have never watched the anime either. If you’re unsure whether something should have a spoiler tag, err on the side of using one.

  1. Any potential spoiler for the current week’s reading need only be covered by a spoiler tag. Predictions and conjecture made by somebody who has not read ahead still falls into this category.

  2. Any potential spoilers for external sources need to be covered by a spoiler tag and include a label (outside of the spoiler tag) of what might be spoiled. These include but are not limited to: other book club picks, other books, games, movies, anime, etc. I recommend also tagging the severity of the spoiler (for example, I may still look at minor spoilers for something that I don’t intend to read soon).

  3. Any information from later in the volume or series than the current week’s reading (including trigger warnings that haven’t yet manifested) needs to be hidden by spoiler tags and labeled as coming from later sections. For other Parts, please label the Part before the spoiler, for example “Well we know 2 [character] survives because they’re in a later Part”

Instructions for Spoiler Tags

Click the cog above the text box and use either the “Hide Details” or “Blur Spoiler” options. The text which says “This text will be hidden” should be replaced with what you are wishing to write. In the case of “Hide Details”, the section in the brackets that is labeled “Summary” can be replaced with whatever you like also (i.e, [details=”Chapter 1, Pg. 1”]).

Hide Details results in the dropdown box like below:

Example

This is an example of the “Hide Details” option.

The “Blur Spoiler” option will simply blur the text it surrounds.

I wouldn’t call this a music recommendation since I don’t like Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam (I much prefer the character), but here’s a Lisa Lisa song

Even though I’m way behind with the questions and vocab, I know some folks are still keeping up. Thank you for tolerating my lateness!!

Enter Lisa Lisa! She looks fabulous from her first appearance, unlike Ceasar who still doesn’t seem to have a consistent design. I agree, that song isn’t really for me either

Small spoiler for the rest of part 2: It’s funny how Lisa Lisa is presented as this super powerful hamon user and Joseph as a fool for not taking her seriously just because she is a woman, when later she just gets jobbed in every fight she is in. Araki kinda ruined the message in this one

Comparing the “inventive solution” Joseph had this week to the barrier to the wacky solutions that characters come up with later on in the series is pretty funny

Yeah, I agree, I hate how that turned out. I haven’t read the light novel, but I hope she gets redeemed in it

  2. What is Joseph internally deliberating about his new teacher?
  3. How does Caesar tell Joseph to treat their master?
  4. Why was つるつる written as つっつるっ?

Will try to update and add missing threads tomorrow

Sorry, I wasn’t able to get to the threads today… I’ll have to put in a placeholder for the renshuu vocab link too because I can’t make an empty vocab list. My apologies for the delay!

Chapter 29 (73) 一点集中波紋パワー・波紋教師 リサリサ その 3 Questions
  1. Why is Caesar worried? Do you feel his worrying is justified? Why or why not?
  2. What is Lisa Lisa’s rule about the climb?
  3. What does Joseph initially believe about Lisa Lisa’s training intentions?
  4. Do you think she would really let him die? (please spoiler your answer/opinion)
  5. Depending on your edition, the bottom of page 8 has Joseph describing Lisa Lisa’s eyes as 残酷 or 冷徹. What’s the difference? How does each word impact your characterization of Lisa Lisa?
  6. What does using ripple/hamon seem to cause the human body (not) to do?
Chapter 30 (74) 一か八かの賭け!・波紋教師 リサリサ その 4 Questions
  1. Caesar keeps a pen on him as we can see. How about you? Do you always have a pen on you? Why or why not? Do you feel like it’s more or less common nowadays to carry a pen on one’s person?,
  2. Why is Caesar worried for Joseph? What does he think will happen?,
  3. Why does Lisa Lisa get annoyed with Caesar? What did Joseph do that he misunderstood?,
  4. How long does Caesar take to complete his final action in this chapter?
Chapter 31 (75) 波紋達人JoJo・波紋教師 リサリサ その 5 Questions
  1. How would you describe Joseph’s tone towards Lisa Lisa at the start of the chapter? Why? How do you think the other characters feel about it?
  2. Who are these guys? What will they do?
  3. What does Joseph think of Lisa Lisa’s accessory?

Time wise, I think that’s the quickest I’ve ever done the vocab and questions for a chapter. It took maybe an hour and a half? Usually it’s 2-3 hours due to look-ups and checking if they’re already in the lists

Chapter 32 (76) 最終試練!・波紋教師 リサリサ その 6 Questions
  1. What is the story behind エイジャの赤石?
  2. Why does Caesar get angry at Joseph when Lisa Lisa demonstrates the stone’s power?
  3. What does Joseph suggest they do with the stone? How does Lisa Lisa respond? Which course of action do you think is right? Why?
  4. What happens at the end of the chapter? Why does Joseph have difficulty understanding it?
Chapter 33 (77) しごきの成果・行け!波紋マスター Question
  1. How does Joseph’s attack work?

With this chapter, I felt like there could be a lot of interesting ways to describe what’s going on and none of them would sound appropriate for the forum lol
