Damn, this was quite the chapter. Strange conspiracies between mother and son, the reveal of a creature who may or may not be another rock human (I think I'm on board with the theory of him being the one leaving bite marks on new stand users, BTW), and now Josuke's apparently being stalked by Not-Emporio..... quite a bit to take in, here. Just too darn bad the series is on hiatus next month.... well, at least the next chapter will make a nice Christmas present!

Okay, translation's out!
Man, I still have no idea how that opening scene is related to the current plot... unless the pond man is that dude who got electrocuted? Anyway, looks like he's another result of equivalent exchange, and has become interested in Josuke, thanks to Joubin's influence.... And as for Josuke's situation.... looks like this enemy's stand basically turns people into mindless zombies? As far as zombie stands go, I'm instantly reminded of Limp Bizkit from Stone Ocean, though that ability created invisible zombies. Wonder if this is really the ability of the pond man, though....? Also, lol at that old lady in the car. I love how her response to seeing a crazy, blood-covered zombie kid beating on her car window.... is to open the window, instead of, you know, keeping it closed or running out of her car to call for help. I found that almost as hilarious as the reaction (or lack thereof) of the people who saw Josuke murder Damo in broad daylight! |

The zombies aren't entirely mindless, since they seem to be tracking Josuke. Anyway, I chuckled a bit when Josuke called it a useless stand, only to be revealed afterward the "disease" can be spread which actually makes it an extremely dangerous stand.

Dunno about anyone else, but for me the highlight of the chapter was definitely Josuke (well, his stand, anyway) bashing in that old lady's face with a freaking SHOVEL. I mean, I know that woman was already a zombie and all, but damn.
Also, speaking of that old lady.... I really think we could have used less granny panty shots, Araki. |

Geez, the new chapter release nearly slipped right under my nose!
Anyway, this was a hell of a suspenseful chapter, too. We see just how frightening the Blue Hawaii stand truly is (all those poor folks mutilating themselves against their will...). Meanwhile, Yasuho's search for the user makes considerable progress.... only for Joubin to get in the way! Now how will our heroes overcome this deadly ability and get to the bottom of Joubin's conspiracy....!!? |

Next chapter's here!
And damn, Josuke very nearly lost to Blue Hawaii.... thankfully, Yasuho was there to save the day! Still, it bears repeating that BH is a truly frightening power.... being able to control people, babies, even animals as small as bugs.... damn. Anyway, the enemy user confirmed what we pretty much already knew about Joubin using the Rokakaka for dirty business.... but what's interesting is that he referred to Joubin as a "gofer". In other words, there's a mastermind behind him, after all. His mother, perhaps....? |

I only say "very nearly" in the meaning that Josuke at least had the good sense to contact Yasuho for help in the first place during the fight. Otherwise, I agree 100% that he was completely at Dolomite's mercy (and would have been screwed even further if Joubin hadn't decided to spare Yasuho). After all, it's pretty telling how desperate our hero was to carefully plan out a last-minute strategy for swatting a fly, lol.

Josuke utterly lost this one. It was pretty awesome to see Yasuho coming to his rescue. Not the first time she saved his butt, but she was mostly playing a support role in the battles until now.
As for the mastermind, it's most likely the guy we once saw in a flashback. The one with long blonde hair. I can't remember which chapter that was in though.
