READ THE DAMN MANGA

I swear to fuck. If the lava rock is a piece of a rock human that is using their stand to attract objects to rebuild their body, im giga brained or lost my damned mind consuming too much jojo. Edit: I decided to make a Stand bio for my idea. Stand Name: I Wanna Rock! User:???/The lava rock Ability: Value pulling The stand attracts any object of value towards the lava rock that is inanimate. The stand can also let the user create a temporary body by grafting the valuables to the lava rock.

The potential JoDio is radiating is otherworldly. I also love just how simplistic an ability November Rain is compared to Tusk and especially Soft & Wet who seemed to gain new abilities every fight. It's giving me Stone Free vibes where the ability seems a bit lacking, but the character uses their big brain to show how strong and versatile it can be.

I think it's really funny that the chapter just after this video tackles in a lot of the worries you ahve in the video like showing dragonas past and deepening the relation with Jodio

Can’t believe it’s already been a year that flew by. I still remember the day it came out I was on a trip and read the first chapter in the car it was a great day. So far it’s been pretty cool but I can’t wait to see where it goes once it really starts picking up. We aren’t even far enough into the story for people to be saying it’s “the worst part” yet… most likely because people aren’t used to waiting for new jojo chapters every month and have been able to binge read the previous ones.

Charming man is probably a reference to the song by The Smiths

i love that Araki always names someone or something after music he fucks with like (smooth operator - Sade) ( Charming man - the smiths ) i love it

A whole year man damn, Paco and The Hustle are my favorite part, really hasn’t been stands, and when there is they’re used in very unique waves

I didn't think I'd love Paco so much but he's quickly becoming my favorite from the group so far. At first I thought his stand was kinda silly but seeing what it can do in the Charming man fight I was really impressed. JoJo weirdness but badass at its best. this is your reminder: CATCH UP AND READ PART 9!

First of all, psychopathy is a personality disorder, not a mental disorder. Its not something that can be cured or treated. With that out of the way, here's my theory on how I think things will go on. So, the lava rock. It attracts objects with sentimental value, not necessarily ones that have monetary value. The protag is a self-centered asshole who just wants wealth and doesn't exactly cares for his partners. Now think back to gangster movies like Scarface, where the asshole protag fights to get to the top of the world, but to get there loses everything he ever cared about in the process to the point that his victory is ultimately shallow and phyrric. Now back to the lava rock, and what I believe is the central theme of this part's plot and what's coming Jodio's way, learning and choosing what really matters in his life, what it is that is really valuable. He will have to make those choices, whether to stand up for his partners/friends/family or sacrifice them.

0:29 Im sorry but can we just take a moment to appreciate how nice this intro is? Literally my favorite on yt right now it's so good.

Quick theory idea: "Blessings from the earth, Devil's palms, The Holy Corpse, etc." are all reoccurring things in this universe and are directly related/causality based to each other, all with the Corpse being the catalyst. We learned in part 8 that the corpse was taken by the Speedwagon Foundation, and they are based in America. Hawaii is a part of America. What if someone, either a part of the organisation or a completely different descendant of a Steel Ball Run character or something like that, just straight up stole the corpse like Johnny did after part 7, and did so because they could see how dangerous it is. And the only way they thought to permanently and completely get rid of it was to drop it into an active/lava-filled volcano, thus transferring it's power to the land/island/only the volcano or whatever. Hell, it could've even been this world's Joseph who did it, mirroring how the original Joseph tried to kill off Cars in a volcano as well. Just an idea. Could be possible, could be completely off track. I dunno

It's doing well so far for something that has to live up to Steel Ball Run and JoJolion

I love how Metas says “supposably” instead of “supposedly”.

Maybe it's me who's not used to this type of Manga, but having a chapter per month in a story like Jojo that likes to take things slow with the narrative makes it very difficult to stay engaged.

The „Mechanisms“ seems like it’ll be a pretty important idea in this part, like fate in part 5 and spin in part 7 (and some of part 8)

before i watch the video my response is YES, I love part 9 so far

I'm enjoying the story so far. All I'm really hoping for (in terms of what ifs and fanservice): humanoid november rain or a suprise evolution. Something decent for Jodio's stand

Jodio character seems interesting, darker direction of the gangster Anti-hero. Giorno who was ruthless but had moral boundaries he wouldn't cross, such as selling drugs to minors. Ultimately had morally good intentions, that involved taking control of mafia in order to make the streets safer. Constrant to Jodio who is not only self-serving. His a violent, impulsive and arrogant street thug who wiling to use any means necessary to acquire wealth. Well as being a psychopath. Essentially Jodio and his crew are Villian protagonists. Fascinating too see where the Big Bad stand is he/she gonna as be evil as Jodio, we get an Evil vs Evil conflict. Or is the Big Bad is gonna more evil making him/her just a complete monster, in comparison to Jodio and his crew making them anti-heroes as they have the higher moral ground in regard to the conflict. Araki pull twist Jodio becomes the Big Bad antagonist if continues on the trajectory his on. This definitely has potential.

im loving it so far, reading jojos monthly and thinking about how it might go for like 10 years of my life is so much fun. I only first watched jojo and became a jojo fan right near the end of part 8 coming out, and then I fell out of it and in 2022 I read part 7 and in 2023 read part 8, now im reading it weekly and will be for like a decade 💀 thats so cool

it definetely feels like a breath of fresh air compaired to jojolion since we got to read wonder of u for like 3 years straight its nice to go back to more simple stuff but this part definetely has room to develop

So this is kinda random but I honestly would like this to be heard by someone. This is basically a cool stand idea that would be fun in part 9 as a major side villain ability. The name I thought of was “Duel of the Fates” a double sided blade with the handle made from steel and dark wood. It has the power of granting immense physical strength, fighting technique, foresight, an extendable chain in the hilt, and can push/repel anything in contact with the side of the blade. It does play off some of the ideas of Anubis from part three of adapting to opponents over time which I feel makes the user quite terrifying. This concept makes me think of the user feeling similar to Toji fushigoro from jjk who is an assassin for hire which would work for the story. I wish I had any good capabilities of drawing since I feel this would be a really cool ability to see since brawling stands make for good fights. The only reason why I feel it could backfire is how there is so much given in “Duel of the Fates” arsenal but that is to make him an overwhelming threat. I’m probably going a bit far in detail by this point but I could see this ability’s user entering the manga after doing a job to take down king crimson using the foresight to react and kill him. I hope you see this Metas as I feel like you might find this really fun to read but have an awesome day bud and keep up the good work!

METAs you have to bring bck the MONTHLY CHAPTER REVIEWS

5:04 in defense of charming mans name, hot pants exists 😂 i know it isnt her real name but thats whats shes known as so 😭

I’m really exited to see where the story is going, each month the story takes a turn somewhere I wasn’t expecting. Got nothing but praise so far.

4 months after this I just want to say I'm so fucking excited to see how this continues, I already love Bobby Jean, Lulu, AND Howler! I cannot wait to see everything develop and how these silly characters grow Charmingman also quickly stole the spot as my favourite character lmao Araki is absolutely cooking, and even though I was admittedly a little bit bored during the Cat Size stuff, everything since has absolutely captivated me and I am genuinely SOO excited to see where it goes! I have so many questions lmaooo

Funny to hear that you were worried about the Joestar siblings not getting development before the most current chapter gave them SO much great development less than ten hours ago 😂

"First action is to get cash from Rohan" Why does this sound so familiar? 11:03 I can vaguely see where the wind blows from. The throughline of the original story(additionally strenghened by the anime adaptation, but it was always there) is that Jonathan grew up to be a symbol of positive change upon the world and thus it is fate that in the future, his family will always appear to combat evildoers. Under that idea, even morally questionable criminals have to ultimately be good people, it would make no sense otherwise. Araki wanted to do other things, so we went to an unrelated universe. And that thematically allows for Jojos that aren't strictly in the right because suddenly none of them are related to the original Jonathan anymore, so it wouldn't mess with anything. If anything, some specific things seem to be specifically inverted here.

Well at least 2 counterparts (well 3 for SBR) have stuck with the cast in the new universe Johnny, Gyro, and Lucy Josuke (Kira +Josephumi), and Yasuho So unless Dragona or Charming Man are counterparts. They join soon enough

Charming Man feels like a Death Stranding name.

I definitely enjoy Jodio so far, his relatable and non relatable aspects fuze really well for me. The stand feels very straight forward so he’d probably have to be WAY more creative than others. Dragona, Paco, and Charmingman are interesting to me. But the primary thing keeping me paying attention is the mechanism stuff, the lava rocks and how those connect to the Corpse/Fuits and equivalent exchange. I’m currently waiting to critique the series myself until I understand the entire story. Idk

Pls upload weekly 🙏

I love that JoDio has Dio in his name showcasing his Dio like personality he has.

Definitely think so far it has the stronger start of the series

Another METAs upload, another good day to be alive.

This man jodio is up there for me he’s what I wanted from giorno

i cant believe its been one year since we learned araki watched breaking bad

PEAK AF. Had me playing Stardust Crusaders on Spotify when old mate tried to drown him

"Music Links- ask me in the comments haha" BRO I NEED IT!!!!

You should power scale aura borealis from the JoJo steamed hams parody

18:07 have you read sbr coloured? This minimalist thing was there also

We need dp to get the anime going again we need part 7 part 8 and part 9 we’ll what’s out so far I especially want part 7 as it is one of my favourites part 5 my second favourite

I feel for a monthly release the storytelling isn't very packed. The latest chapter picked up the pace, but it took a year to get what even the conflict of the story even is, and we don't know much about the cast. It will surely be better on a re-read, but previous parts felt more straightforward in establishing what the group's goals are.

Rohan Kishibe is PEAK, favorite character from part 4 with my favorite stand ability. (Im only halfway through part 7 so my opinion may be invalid)

Also I wouldn't be surprised if we get more teammates along the way just like in part three mirroring it

Since part 7, Araki has been bombarding us with a lot of mystical metaphors like the corpse, the rokakaka fruit, and now I guess it's the lava rock. The lava rock is just going to be another "thing" the characters fight over for control of I guess this time would be "wealth" or the "mechanism". But what I'm most interested in has to be how Spin is going to be added to the story this time. We've seen Spin become a consistent thing to the Joestar bloodline from part 7 so Jodio and Dragona has to obtain it at some point.

19:26 AYE AYE CAPTAIN! AM GONNA REREAD PART 7 AND READ 8 & 9 AYE AYE CAPT.❤❤❤

Araki went full kojima with "Charmingman"

"I don't want to be here for 20 min" *proceeds to upload a 20 min video*

scaling jodio 😍😍: strength: human level durability: human level speed: idk (probably MFTL if we compare to rohan) AP/DC: small building (was stated to have a 3x4 meter AoE) IQ: above average hax: gravity manipulation (he can change the weight of his droplets, weight is just the force of gravity), soul manipulation, fluid manipulation, luck manipulation

part 4 could have been a summer in everybodies life. i love it. ❤

I like jojolands so far, my favourite character is Usagi, but others are cool too. And i hope Araki will give enough screen time to each of them. Also chapter 13 was amazing!

Part 3 and 5 were my favs. 👌🏻

Bro the latest ones (chapters) are straight 🔥🔥🔥 Waiting for the 2nd year anniversary for your thoughts

Honestly I’m really enjoying Part 9, Jodio is so refreshing as a main character

I really like Araki exploring fate/luck vs unluck and how the Lava Rock seems to be a monkey's paw magnet of fortune, paralleling the Wall Eyes, which was a source of a curse, from where hope was eventually created in the form of Josuke's fusion birth. On the other hand, this has to be the wackest and lamest set of Jojo designs. Aside from Jodio and Dragona, I really dislike everyone else's designs. Too Araki-esque, in my opinon.

So far the part still needs to cook a lot, i got used to small main groups like Johnny/Gyro and Josuke/Yasuho/Mamezuku, and it still costs me to care enough for this one aside of Jodio. My biggest issue is there's nothing that catches the interest so far, aside of the damn lava rock, and this may go through the same route as part 5, which means it may not have anything to complement parts 7 or 8 and could be more of a filler part. Also i'm still salty over not seeing any humanoid stands (aside of Heaven's Door), November Rain is cool but Soft & Wet still slaps him on every aspect🗿

Honestly i find all the stands so far pretty interesting, including how they changed Heaven's Door, now instead of having to pull out his stand to turn them into a book, he just has to touch them and they fall unconscious with the pages flipping, November rain is cool with rain with weight applied to them, The Hustle is still a little confusing to me, like how he can kinda absorb things into his flesh, but i'm just not 100% sure yet how it works. The wired cats are cool as hell, again not 100% sure how the power works, it just seems like the fur of the cat turns into steel wire that they can fully control.. Sorry that i'm not mentioning the other stands but i just don't know their names, sure all their powers are cool and they all have their time to shine so far.

This is a question I had on my mind for quite a while, and it irks me to no end that I do not know the answer for certain. Could Wonder of U beat the Godhand from Berserk? Either you or Kaleb IA could answer this, and I don't know who to ask about it

Chapter 13 with the siblings, man, further establishing how great these protags are.

I like November Rain, but I really do hope it gets stronger later in the manga.

man if yall had waited one more chapter opinions would've been wildly different

I know this isn’t much related but… My secret theory (that i hope will happen) is that Jodio will find the Saint’s corpse that at the beginning of part 8 to defeat main villain get rich etc.

This Charming Man by The Smiths

you *SIT DOWN* when a new Jojolands releases I *SIT DOWN* when a new Metas or Kaleb vid drops seriously fuck with all the stuff you guys make, keep it up lad

GAH DAMN WTH IS THIS INTRO BRO THIS IS GAS

I love your intro man

Still reading part 8 here, just watching the video as i don't mind spoilers that much but ngl...the more i read about this main cast (Jodio and co) the more i lose interest on them lmao. Idk, i'm just no really into evil protagonists, i really like Johnny and Giorno as they aren't human trash, but it just seems that Jodio is that human trash...he's even a psycopath lmao. But i'm certainly jumping to conclusions, even if i still don't feel like i will like him, i also feel i'm being too hasty so i will try to take it slow

We'll see. It's only on like chapter 14 at the time of me writing this (it was probably on like 11 or 12 at the time of this video), so things have only just started to take off. The Stands of the main group seem pretty situational and "weak" to me at this point to be honest, which means they'll probably get major boosts later in the story at some point.

I’ve been liking JOJOLANDS so far it’s hasnt been perfect but I really like it

Charmingman... Like 'This Charming Man' maybe? Good song

i find it funny how araki somehow made rohan into part 9, and honestly i hope he gets a mention again in future chapters

JoJolands so far has been a great start to a new part, I have hope that it will become one of the best parts in the series. Jodio is honestly one of my new favorites in JoJo characters

Hey METAs, my friends and I were having a debate earlier. In your opinion who would win in a fight between part 3 Jotaro with no stand or part 1 dio with no vampiric abilities. Or basically just Jotaro and dio with straight hands. Thanks for reading have a good day

Maybe the Lava Rock isn’t just leading thing to THEM but THEM to something 👀👀🤫

metas i got a question how did u do your intro cus i rly want to do it my self and dont wanna waste money on editors but how did u do it

8:37 I find this idea genuinely hilarious. Araki sets up an entire JoJo part, does the first 10 or so chapters, sets up some really cool lore, and goes, yeah I like sand boy charmingman better. Here's my headcannon: Charmingman is a false name, and this is secretly Jojojojogiojojojojojo Joejoekuhigashigiojostarshikatastar, the most ultimate JoJo.

For the record, the Hawaiian Islands (or at least some of them) are populated by a large number of feral cats, so this is setting appropriate and not completely random.

The main cast just feels so cohesive to me right now, I love their interactions and their personalities. Not fully attached to CM yet but Usagi just makes me giggle with his dumb faces and little hair poking from his wet suit it’s just great can’t wait for the chapter today

First of Holy Corpse then the Loccaca/Rokkaka And now the lava rocks...

ngl i thought it was going to be mid but it grew on me fast

i love random persona ost

Personally I think Jojolands has had the best first 15 chapters out of all parts aside from 7

I really think that jojolands still raw for jojo standards, it's excellent at least, interesting stands, characters and environment, but in my experience as a jojo reader, usually jojo parts start to get more centered on the main mystery or plot until the half of the manga so only the holy corpse knows how long will take to jojolands to finish I really beg araki to not take another decade to finish this part,

Steel Ball Run on Top 👆👆

So...the lava rock is something like Jack Sparrow's Compass?

Oh yeah I get the impression Jodio is what Araki intended to make with Giorno. Like imo Giorno was an empty, bland character so in a way he was the prototype for the whole Jojo + Dio protag.

I will not tolerate Mista slander he was hawd. Just subbed tho

Instead of saying the time-frame why not state the chapter count. People really forget this is a once per month thing we're dealing with and the story literally just started. Not as bad as sellout xForts, but now I see why Hamon Beat is my preferred and only JoJo KZfaqr

i'm going to copy and paste something i said on my Tumblr and it's very hairbrained BUT here is my "theory" on who Jodio's a parrallel toward "so i'm thinking about Jojo Part9 and the current universe in general and i realized do we even know who Jodio's supposed be a parallel toward? like Jonathan to Johnny, Josuke to Gappy, and then there's Jodio. it's not Jolyne obviously and i don't see it being Giorno because he probably would have the name Jogio or something. thematically Jodio being Giorno makes sense because they're both criminals with a name that stems from Dio in some way (remove the second have of Giorno's name and replace the G with D and you get Dio and Jodio just has Dio in his name). and November Rain is kind of like Weather's stand with the overpowered rain so...is Jodio a parallel to Weather? because spoilers for Part6 the Green Baby gives Pucci and Weather (and later Emporio) the Joestar birthmark"

Mista slander was uncalled for

Not the biggest fan of these newer parts like jojolion and jojolands glad somebody does though

he doesn't try to make relatable characters he tries to make characters that are more or less metaphors for things or situations in life you see no matter what continent you're from

I’m calling it, Rohan is going to be an antagonist to jodio

Can you make a video explanation of the battle of strongest stand: GER vs Wonder of U

Does anyone else say JoDio’s name as “Jodie-Oh”?

Ahh the Kakyoin 5.0

Still need to finish part 8 😢

How many years until we see the main villain is my question.

Fun fact: in most hispanics countries "JoDio" means "Fucked up", that word comes from joder which its the closest word to Fuck on spanish
