It's all coming together in the most wild JoJo way. Lots of developments in this one ranging from creepy to sad to truly bizarre. I'm always excited to see where this series goes.

Seriously one of the best volumes yet, this is where SBR shifts into opus mode and it doesn’t let up at all from here. I absolutely cannot wait for the next 3 volumes, going to be PEAK.

lol shit is getting really bonkers

El arco de Civil War es espectacular, la profundidad que tiene lo que sucede, lo que Johnny aprende está a otro nivel. Jesus mismo le dice a Johnny, Si tu corazón duda, entonces no dispares. Hay aquí un paralelismo enorme con lo que Jesucristo enseña en el evangelio de Lucas, el que pone la mano sobre el arado y sigue mirando atrás, no sirve para el reino de Dios. No puedes dudar en esta vida, debes soltar y mantenerte firme.
Espectacular.
Lo único que no me está gustando son los nombres en la versión con copyright. Yo entiendo, deben cambiarlos, pero al menos podrían poner nombres más aproximados. The abandoned en vez de Civil War, suena terrible y no hablemos del stand de Funny Valentine.
Adoro Jojos, cada capítulo se pone mejor y mejor.

Every time I read one of Funny Valentine's speeches about power I'm reminded of the excellent House of Cards and Frank Underwood. They're both very similar US presidents so it's understandable. In this volume Valentine unexpectedly transforms from a chubby man to Arnold Schwarzenegger with the US flag on his back, which is hilarious. The battles are intense, as usual, with battle IQ being crucial to winning.

Another parallel for anime fans, Lucy's emotional history with Steven and her big devotion to him calls back to me Attack on Titan and Mikasa's relationship with Eren.
