Ever-changing, cross-generational story setting JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Great for derivatives and crossovers itself. Part 4, Diamonds are indestructible Much of its plot is driven by characters returning from Stardust Crusaders (and earlier!) Ostensibly to contend with the legacy of the failed Dio Brando. So there’s naturally some curiosity about the wider cast over the decade and the changes between Parts Three and Four. This is the driving force behind new spin-off comics Shining diamond devil heartbreak. Come to us not from Hirohiko Araki Himself, but Kohei Gift ( boogie pop fame) and artists Karasuma YuI’m sure this comic is dedicated to answering this burning question Some Fans are asking: What happened to Holma?
I might be a little funny, but not Hol Horse no Relevant roles for side projects like this. As an opponent, he was memorable and entertaining. There are still some aspects to him that could be explored if he wasn’t too esoteric. That’s at least more than what happened to a lot of other one-off villains in Star Wars. Qiao Qiao’swhich devil heartbroken Happy to give you an early warning. Kenny G used to be one of the characters and they had to call him Billie Jean in the localization. Some of the other Dio extension events were slightly more memorable. It’s nice to see Maria and her magnetism again, and Boingo significantly enjoyed the plot mechanically, at least, if not in terms of his own actual page time.
Hall Hoss’s relatively early connection with Josuke doesn’t spread the story into an overall piece. According to Holhos at this stage, Josuke is a curious person. In fact, the plot was set up before the events took place Diamonds are indestructible Meaning there is a limit to what Josuke’s character can do before his storyline properly begins in his own story. Maybe this plot will retroactively seed some elements of Josuke’s character that drive his story, and there are some mechanical elements at play here, like this being the moment he learns about the Stand after having his own. Although set in the time and place of Part 4, devil heartbrokenThe point is to follow up Part 3 firmly.
This is consistent with the use of Hol Horse and other former Dio followers, which centers on the question of what exactly did all these people do after the big bad vampire finally died. It’s already interesting to see that Kadono’s writing is recasting these former villains in a more sympathetic light. There is a clear tendency in the characterizations of characters like Hal Hoss and Maria, who were largely swayed by Dio’s dramatic charms, chose the wrong side, and now find themselves listlessly living their lives with little regard for what they have done and what they have done. Things you can do to regret. For Hol Horse and Boingo, that means following up on one of Dio’s many other loose threads, by finding an equally skilled parrot to help train the pet store man’s mother. Hal Hoss ostensibly does this out of his own chivalry, but as the story continues, it becomes clear that it’s as much about fighting a Dio-shaped demon from his past as it is about recovering a lost bird.
Looking to the past is no Subtle subject matter and presentation devil heartbroken. The stand-in ability of the voice of the parrot pet that Holma faces is the ability to directly repeat and replay past parts. Qiao Qiao’s A story involving Dior. These include forcing the Senator to run down all of these people with his car on the sidewalk, and making Holhaus watch a replay of his failure to betray and kill Dio. it is franchise fan serviceto be sure, but it also ties in nicely (if also bluntly) with the theme of these characters being trapped by their past actions and unable to move on.
This is a solid start to half of Holma’s story, devil heartbreak It then reveals that its focus on Dior’s Servant legacy goes back much further. Remember, Kakyoin Noriaki started out as just Dio’s flesh-controlling minion. It turns out he has a cousin named Ryoko (the very cute “Ryon-Ryon”), who saw him getting caught by Bad Brando there and has always wondered what happened to him. The idea of Dio’s slaves having their own families to deal with the consequences of them is one that has been touched on before, especially with the siblings in Niji Village. Diamonds are indestructible itself. In Ryon-Ryon’s case, her follow-up to Kakyoin seems to be an attempt to engage with the broader themes of the humanities and its ideas of perspective that empathize with those who follow Dio.
However, Ryoko’s use in the plot is a mixed bag so far, with the writing oddly choosing to use some of its weakest qualities Qiao Qiao’s. Specifically, Boingo’s place in the plot is primarily so that Ryoko can obtain his stand-in, the book Thoth, and learn the truth about her cousin according to the book’s predictions. This brings back the old fundamental problem with Thoth as a plot device, which is the tenacity of its predictions. There isn’t much that people who interact with it can do Do Aside from reacting to his constant comments about what was destined to happen. This story may be an attempt to do something more interesting with the infamous book’s powers, suggesting that its influence may turn Ryoko into the true villain of this piece by the end. So far it’s only offered some snazzy drawings of Ryon-Ryon stuck in a situation where she was already going to be anyway. The actual plot is interesting, but like everything involving Thoth, it makes you question the point of including it in this story.
I can generously leave this in “let’s see what happens” territory for now. The main story of Holma and Josuke so far is very compelling and provides a unique perspective on some of the content. Qiao Qiao’s The past is left unequivocally in the past. Karasuma’s art complements Kadono’s writing and seems to support the story. Karasuma is good at letting these characters show their own unique sides jojo Even if Araki doesn’t draw them, he poses them so that everyone looks “pretty” and different from himself. There’s a lot of big-picture, moment-to-moment energy in the action scenes that moves things forward in a way that’s very different from Araki’s. Compare jojoThe original author would inevitably be encouraged in such a situation, so it is commendable that Karasuma can stand firm enough.
Is it portable enough? devil heartbroken At this stage? Even as a spin-off, it doesn’t appear to be very important in terms of development. It’s a treat for old fans, bringing back admired characters from the old troupe and exploring them with more empathy. It will be up to you whether you can buy this character for a character like Hol Horse, or follow up after Kakyoin’s death and being buried for so long. The first volume isn’t overly popular, so it’s probably worth a quick read. As a certified Part IV enthusiast, it kind of appealed to me and at least piqued my curiosity.
