Stone Ocean #4
ジョジョの奇妙な冒険ストーンオーシャン 4 行くぞ!フー·ファイターズ [JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken Sutōn'ōshan]
De retour dans le pénitencier de Green Dolphin, Jolyne tient une piste sérieuse sur l'endroit où White Snake entrepose les disques-mémoires qu'il subtilise à ses victimes. Malheureusement, si mettre la main sur le disque-stand de Jotaro s'avère somme toute assez aisé, son disque-souvenir semble plus important pour son détenteur et reste introuvable...

Memes in this volume:
THE POSE
Jolyne, you're literally gay. Your girlfriend is standing next to you. Don't try to pull that closeted homophobe shit.

A very fun volume!
The fight with F.F. and the resolution of it was unexpected! The next enemy mini-boss looks hot and scary.
I'm loving the Hermes/Jolyne relationship. They are my favority JJBA dynamic duo. (I ship them a lot but another story).
The bonus chapter about Rohan at Gucci place in Italy was an unexpected and delightful bonus.

Maybe I'm just not very creative, but Jolyne's uses for Stone Ocean have me popping off. That little bridge she made was such a clever use of those powers. Great grandpa Joseph would be proud. The mystery of which person was an enemy was pretty fun as well. I'm surprised that sort of mystery hasn't come up more often, since anybody could be a stand user. And then Jolyne just starts punching people because that's easier than figuring out. She's a Joestar, alright. I loved the moment where she takes off for the warehouse, leaving Hermes to move the wristband. No hesitation- just pure confidence in her friend. It's a powerful case of actions speaking louder than words which isn't dwelled on. It was a really great moment.
I'm not sure I understand Foo Fighters, though. It's basically a zooplankton that has a stand and mind. And it looks like it has two discs, so it got both from them? Foo Fighters itself claims to be conscious thanks to an inherent intellect in all living things- intelligent design, but the designer is within every organism. It's not really clear which rules about how it works are from it being humanoid plankton and which are just the stand's rules.
Regardless, I appreciated the references to philosophy. Always nice to see outside influences pop up in manga. And if a manga can teach me things about the real world, even better. Pucci is interesting in that regard. He believes that what separates humans from animals is the desire to go to heaven. You may infer from this that he's actually referring to humanity's ability to plan for the future, or maybe to aspire for some idea of purity. Which is an interesting take. I don't want to get more into it before I learn more about this character. But needless to say, Pucci has me interested.
What matters more than the "how" behind Foo Fighter is what is done with the character. While I didn't buy into the face turn for the character or how casually Jolyne and Hermes are about it inhabiting somebody's corpse, Foo Fighters definitely won me over. It's childlike enthusiasm is really charming. And I can always appreciate some enthusiasm about drinking water. Stay hydrated, folks.
To follow up on a point I made earlier, the needless provocative posing has definitely died down in this volume. Jolyne in particular gets some cool as hell power poses, reminiscent of her dad.
And finally, I would like to draw your attention to Marilyn Manson; the world's first fuzzy stand. I repeat, we have laid eyes upon a fuzzy stand. It's a Christmas miracle, folks.

This volume primarily concerned itself with the Foo Fighters fight and setting up the Debt Collector fight. I think F.F. was an interesting stand, especially since learning that it has no stand user. The limitation that the stand must stay near water was a good premise to work around, and Araki seemed to have had fun setting the fight in a marsh, and having a hose in the warehouse. I'm super curious to know what Jolyne is going to do with Star Platinum's stand "disc". Still not sure what she's even able to do, but looks like she also need her fathers soul disc to fully revive him.
I love that our gang recruited F.F. to join our side, and I'm interested to see what more they can bring to the table for the fights and for the story.
We also got a glimpse at White Snake's user, who seems to be in some position of power at the prison. His stand power seems totally OP, but not in direct combat (that I know of, for now). Encapsulating stand powers in discs is super cool. Will it be possible for someone to gain more than one stand power at once? What is White Snake stockpiling stand powers (and souls) for?

Dios santo, si que deje esta manga en pausa mucho tiempo... solo le doy la puntuación por la aparición de Pucci. No esperaba menos de su mini discurso.
Confieso que Stone Ocean de momento no ha llamado tanto mi atención como otros arcos de Jojo, hasta deje pausado el manga por meses cuando los otros arcos los llegue a leer en cuestión de días y en exámenes parciales y en momentos muy estresantes de mi trabajo. Quisiera pensar que tengo resistencias a Jolyne, la hija del Jojo menos interesante para mi aunque Jolyne apunta para robarle el puesto a su padre y lo digo en la plena consciencia de que Giorno siempre es estúpidamente estoico y su arco fue más el arco de Bruno que de él.
Pero veamos como sigue esto, lo malo es que ya se el final de la serie desde antes de comenzar a introducirme realmente en ella, quizás eso tenga que ver con mi bajo agrado expresado hasta ahora con esta parte.

4 estrellas.
Estoy llegando a la parte en donde las cosas apenas están arrancando su rumbo, me gusta como Jolyne está cambiando de actitud, y como es que ella deja de ser chica inmadura.
Ahora apareció uno de los personajes que desde que escuché se me había hecho de los más enigmaticos F.F.
Hermes siento que es un gran complemento para Jolyne, siendo una buena Jojo Bro, y no dejando a la prota sola, ella parece también brillar con luz propia.

FOO FIGHTERS!!! i love them. they are so so funky and i loved the shift from “intellectual” plankton f.f. to foo trying to be human. such a strong character. and the white snake reveal!! the character design is immaculate, but araki never fails in that regard.
i’m gonna keep my manga volume reviews about this length because it’s almost like reviewing a chapter in a full book so i think this format works.

El nuevo personaje de FF es muy carismática, ese típico personaje que trata de ser humano, pero termina haciendo cosas muy raras, me gusta muchísimo. Así mismo, me gusta que las peleas sean mucho más ingeniosas, es otro componente que disfruto muchísimo, lo cual agradezco de la obra, porque ahora se siente mucho más madura a la hora de tratar las habilidades y dotar de nuevas dinámicas.

Yeee this is getting better and better! I'm surprised Pucci made his appearance so early on!

Jolyne is really great. I like that this has been more creativity in fights rather than straight battles. Always good to see JoJo creativity.

I love Weather Report :)

4,5/5. Lots of fights happened and I’m not very fond of Jojo’s power system.

刑務所の中、という制限された空間だからこそ、登場人物達の工夫が上手く話をすすめてるのが分かる。
それと、知性は生命の起源以前から存在する、とか哲学的な非人間スタンドとかも興味深い。
登場人物達がほぼ女性なのも、新鮮。(あまり性別関係ないけど。胸があるか否かくらい。これこそ「男女平等」の境地か？)

Este libro tiene el final de "Hay seis" (***/), la totalidad de "Foo Fighters" (****) y el principio de "Marilyn Manson, el cobrador" (***/). Lo promedio para arriba porque me sorprendió más de lo que esperaba, finalmente le conocemos la cara a Pucci, y me encanta cómo va subiendo la tensión de la última historia capítulo a capítulo.
