I lost my shit at the throwaway page of in-universe comic books. Did my boy Oingo Boingo get published in the past 30 years? Look at us. We made it.
I'm glad the Stone Oceaneers know who White Snake is now. The dramatic irony of that situation had run its course and concludes with fitting bombast.
I'm a big fan of these scenes we get with Pucci and Dio. It paints Stardust Crusaders in a bit more of a favorable light for me. One of my problems with that part was the procession of fights with oftentimes interchangeable enemies. But in seeing his conversations with Pucci, I can imagine that Dio would have converted people in a similar way. If he was able to get into Pucci's head enough to the point of being elevated to god-like status, it makes sense that he would develop a legion of cult-like followers. And as with any religion, Dio's followers displayed varying levels of commitment. Vanilla Ice and Enya were all about that Dio lifestyle, but there were plenty of others who weren't so into it. Keeping this framework in mind, I guess that would make Jotaro the antichrist? Or maybe Joylne is the child of the devil?
Anyway, Dio's an interesting guy. I was rewatching some of his battle with Jotaro, and what stood out to me was just how cautious he was. When Jotaro's finger twitches, the dude immediately retreats a good 20 feet. Same goes for when he's about to finish off Polnareff and Jotaro's hand moves. In both cases, if he had stayed the course he would've won quite easily. But in the end, his extreme caution led to Jotaro regaining the upper hand and eventually winning. These, along with the scene with Pucci, portray Dio as not just overly cautious, but kind of anxious. He almost scares off Pucci because he's anxious about being betrayed. This comes after a series of deep conversations, after Dio opens up about his weaknesses, and presumably after they sleep together. Dio has opened himself up to Pucci in a way he really hasn't with anyone else. And he's worried that this trust will be betrayed. The closer we grow to someone- the more vulnerable we are- the more potential they have to hurt us. It's a very natural and human fear, which is easy to overlook considering how it contradicts the mystique surrounding this character. Here this vampiric god-like cultist is afraid of being hurt by his lover. He test Pucci by leading him straight up to the edge of betrayal, but Pucci stays true.
But really, this scene is pretty low key. It doesn't belabor the point at all. And it immediately leads back into the great fight between Jolyne and Pucci. Jolyne, trying to save her father, and by extension, the potential to have a relationship with her deadbeat dad. Pucci, fighting to carry on the will of his god and lover.
I will say, however, that Pucci is notably unthreatening for a Jojo villain. In the past, they tend to represent an immediate and terrible threat. But with Pucci, he's more often than not foiled by the heroes. The fool didn't even think to keep track of Jotaro's stand disc. He quickly lost control of the situation in the maximum security ward. He just barely caught up to Foo Fighters. And he wouldn't have saved himself from a Kujo-grade beatdown if it weren't for some clever thinking. He has the powers and position in the prison to really pull some strings, but he pretty consistently messes up. Despite this, the presentation treats him as a threat. Maybe there's an interpretation that makes this feel like something more than a mistake, but I haven't found one yet.
Regardless, I liked this volume a lot. I genuinely enjoyed the encounter with Pucci. And the setup for Jail House Rock has been great stuff. She's such a dangerous villain who has a role to play. It's always great when you can have a good stand encounter that means something to the larger plot. It's so twisted how she can get in the heroes' faces and they don't even realize they're eye-to-eye with the villain. Additionally, Pucci being caught in a self-destructive memory erasing loop is horrifying. Araki really has some horror chops, but it can be easy for that to get lost behind the beatdowns and vibrant colors.
Keep it up, Stone Ocean!

Si bien el momento Dio y Pucci es muy bueno, como también la idea del stand de Jail House Lock, se me hizo un tanto aburrida esa parte. Si bien avanza mucho la trama principal, el hecho de hacer el día de la Marmota es algo que no tenía ganas de ver. Y gran mención a Jolyne y su spoiler a Sexto sentido.

I personally loved Part 6 Of JOJO it was really interesting, the characters were interesting and it definitely got me invested into their backstories and the motives behind their actions.Though of course it's not perfect in the beginning it had so much potential the setting of the story,Green dolphin street prison, as said before had so much potential that I believe was not fulfilled. I think part 6 did a great job with the feels though ( it made me cry like 10 times since i had gotten so attached to certain characters that were later killed off.) We also got some backstory on one of the close friends of DIO, Pucci, which was exciting since we saw another part of Dio Brando while he spent his time with Pucci.

¡Menudo cliffhanger el del tomo anterior, me llevó a leerme otro tomo de corrido casi al instante!
Me encantó que tal personaje parezca que muera, pero en realidad no, pero al final sí. La escena en la que su alma asciende al cielo, sencillamente sublime. Este tomo trae:
· los tres últimos de Whitesnake, el rastreador (☆☆☆☆)
· el unitario ¿Luna nueva? ¡Padre nuevo! (☆☆☆☆)
· los primeros de ¡Jail House Lock! (☆☆☆☆, contando el final, que ya me lo leí del próximo tomo)

OH I AM HURTING… this volume took something out of me. i love love love foo fighters and seeing their arc come to an end BROKE me. i teared up a little. there was so much going on in this volume and we learned so much about pucci and his relationship with dio and his motivations. i think he’s a GREAT villain and one of my favs so far.
ready for ermes to return tho… i’m starting to wonder when she’s coming back

Available English translation read
Jolyne and Anasui have managed to reach the green child born of Dio's bone shard, but there's no time to decide its fate as F.F and Weather Report bring news of White Snake's true identity - nor when the group faces a surprise attack that will force them to choose life or death, and a secret prison guard whose Stand leaves Jolyne and Emporio's minds compromised! Araki will grip fans with the fast-paced twists of this whirlwind entry.

This was so good!!!!!
I'm 100% hooked and entertained by this story.
The Jail House Lock stand has terrfying abilites, I'm so excited to see how Jolyne is going to best her. The most gripping stand battles are those where one of the stand users has ability to manipulate your perception of reality.

4.5 estrellas
La primera mitad de este tomo es excelente, la segunda mitad baja un poco la intensidad pero sigue siendo muy buena y sobretodo muy por encima de lo que hasta el momento ha sido esta parte de la serie.
El dibujo fantástico y hermoso como siempre, esa parte es imposible de criticar negativamente.

4.5 estrellas.
Ahora si definitivamente mi corazón se ha detenido.
He perdido a uno de los personajes con los que no creí que me iba a encariñar tanto.
No diré quien, sólo que quien llegue hasta este punto sabrá.
Es lo que más puedo destacar y me tomó un momento para detenerme a pensar y creo que hasta llegar a llorarle.

me too, Pucci. I completely understand you, mate
no matter which part artstyle he is currently using, the way Araki consistently draws Dio…the only logical conclusion is that he is in love with him (like we all are)

The part where Jolyene gets stupid

F.F is dead.
Pucci loves Dio the way he loves God. The latter two are not synonymous with each other, thankfully.

Great volume. The Mementos fight has been amazing so far and on track to be one of my favorite fights in the whole series. RIP Foo Fighters. I really hope we get anime news soon.
