I didn't love this volume. The translation here is getting kinda sloppy, with some poor wording and entire words being left out. Lang Wrangler's costume is just horrible. And Weather Report really frustrated me with that space suit business. Like, at first I just took it as a visual representation of how Weather Report was using his stand to move all of the air in the room to surround Jolyne. But later, it turns out that he actually just made a solid cloud space suit, complete with cloud glass visors that can be cracked. That's not how clouds work, dude. At that point, I tuned out for the chapter and a half left in this volume. If you're going to ask me to read 8 chapters straight of one fight scene, you need to keep the rules consistent. Why should I hang on for 6 chapters of tension, only for a character to do create a solution that follows no coherent logic and just works? That "cheated in your heart" thing with Marilyn Manson also bothered me for similar reasons.

At least we good some Cool Space Facts about how a zero gravity environment effects your bladder and how a vacuum effects your blood. And Jolyne gets some cool moments. Her beatdown of Marilyn Manson's user was awesome. And she did the extendo punch. Forget running away, the extended punch is the real Joestar secret technique. The stuff leading up to the zero gravity shenanigans was pretty good as well. Weather Report is a pretty interesting guy, even if it feels like he has most of his quirks just for the sake of it.

Araki's art continues to slowly but steadily improve. The linework is better, the issue with lack of flow between panels hasn't come up in a good while, and the color team imbues the whole thing with as much vibrancy as you can get within the walls of a prison.

So far, I have to say that Stone Ocean has been getting a lot right with regards to characters and story direction. Strangely enough, it might be the stands that have been a lowlight. Stand battles have always been hit or miss with me on a case by case basis. But I can't point to a single stand battle out of the 6 so far that I've wholeheartedly enjoyed. Maybe Goo Goo Dolls? I wasn't in love with that one, but it was solid. Really, what's been carrying this part for me is everything else. I hope we continue to get more stuff about the characters and prison life, rather than a Part 3 style bout of stand grinding.

Me encanta muchísimo Weather Report, y siento que es necesario trabajarlo c9n mucho cuidado, porque el stand que tiene es muy roto. Si tienes el poder de control el clima, tienes muchísima ventaja en el entorno, por lo que hace muy interesante como se vaya a utilizar, y ya el mismo usuario lo hacer de forma magistral. La pelea de las apuestas fue ingeniosa, pero termino un poco como las peleas de su padre, con sus buenos Oraora.

La introducción y el desarrollo del nuevo personaje Weather Report, me gusta su trasfondo y la historia que está por poder salir a la luz.

Jolyne está tomando el rol de líder junto con su grupo, y sin duda son de los grupos de los que más rápido puedo decir que me estoy encariñando.

things are HAPPENING. and i mean happening fast. there’s so much going on—the conclusion of the last arc was really well written imo and i like the villain of this one too. really getting to see weather report (loving him so far) shine through as white snake is working in the shadows to get ahold of jolyne and her plans.

stopping for the day but i will continue tomorrow

"Weather Report is pretty cool" is a sentence that makes perfect sense in JoJo. In fact, I agree with it.

I throughly enjoyed the “throw ball” game, some parts made me very nervous, which it isn’t a bad thing. The new “arc” seems fun, but I miss Hermès and Foo Fighter.

Este tomo contiene el final de "Marilyn Manson" (***), y seis capítulos de "Savage Garden" (****). Y Stone Ocean no deja de sorprenderme...
