The Nazis? You mean like...Hellsing?

Well, I can guarantee she's not talking about the ones from JJBA, who were actually helping the protagonist. Aside from at the beginning of Part 2 when they tried to awaken an ancient race of super-vampires (seriously, what's up with Nazis and vampires in manga?), one of the Nazi generals was actually helping Joseph fight against the vampires.

Ironically, the Nazis in JJBA are better than the preist in Part 6, Enrico Pucci, who is a mentally unstable, violent nutjob who worshipped a Satan-incarnate vampire, Dio Brando (who I covered earlier). He later took Dio's flesh into his body and let himself be taken over, so Dio could destroy and rewrite the universe to his perfection.



LOL @ people saying Sephiroth

[Karin Rengu]

XD the sephiroth thing was kinda funny.

btw, how many chapters are in jjba?

btw, how many chapters are in jjba?

There's currently around 720-ish chapters and 92+ volumes (still ongoing), but right now, only about 570 or so are translated.

If it sounds too long, don't be scared, you can read it one part at a time

[Karin Rengu]

It's pretty long, it does scare me! But I have the upcoming summer...maybe. How many parts are there so far?

[Gyro Zeppeli]

6 in the original timeline. Part 7, Steel Ball Run is in a new universe created by Enrico Pucci at the end of Part 6 after he ended the original one

[Karin Rengu]

There's a dude who can end the universe??

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Yes. There is.

Enrico Pucci's final form Stand, Stairway to Heaven (called Made in Heaven in the tankobon release), controls gravity to accelerate time to the the point where only he can keep up. Almost immediately, the universe will reach it's ending point, and he can then rewrite the new universe to his idea of perfection.

So he's kinda like God or something? Damn, this manga should be a major mainstream super smash hit

The battles are too intuitive and strategic for the mainstream audience, which prefers battles that consist of nothing more than powering up and spamming generic energy blasts *cough*Bleach*cough* and random Deus ex Machina plothax *cough*Naruto*cough*


Also, JJBA's artstyle is a big turnoff for many people. And it also never had a full anime adaption, which usually makes a series known.

I guess hand-to-hand vampire fights and Stand powers are too awesome for people to appreciate

[Karin Rengu]

I still like powering up and generic attacks. It makes life happy. However, I can appreciate strategic battles as well which is why I like chess and games like that. I have to say the art style is different and I don't like it as much but an artstyle doesn't make up the storyline

They were fun back in the days of Dragonball and Z, but now EVERY [censored] battle in every goddamned series is the same. That's part of why Bleach pisses me off. The characters with interesting battles and powers are killed off or shoved aside for characters with the same generic hack-and-slash or energy spamming routine.

And Naruto pisses me off more with out-the-ass powerups from absolutely nowhere that ruin a fight that could actually show some interesting strategies

However, I can appreciate strategic battles as well which is why I like chess and games like that.

Then you will like Part 2 of JJBA especially.

The artstyle grows on you. Not only that but it changes throughout (Look at Part 1, Phantom Blood, and compare it to Part 7, Steel Ball Run [which my avatar is from]). So one way or another, you'll come to like it

[Karin Rengu]

Naruto is getting boring I have to say because the characters use the same attacks for every [censored] fight. Get something new!
That's cool that the artstyle changes, I like comparing the beginning to later in the series

[Gyro Zeppeli]

Example:

Part 1 Phantom Blood's art: http://www.flashlands.com/artist_image/ ... izvol1.jpg

Part 7 Steel Ball Run's art: http://jojo.highervoltage.net/sbr/vol2/sbr2.jpg (The one on the white horse is the parallel universe incarnation of the guy from Part 1)

[Karin Rengu]

It does change. JJBA seems to be a lot like Phoenix by Tezuka. Like, Phoenix is about people being reincarnated etc. in the future (no violence I don't think). Do you know a site where they have all the chapters? OneMange only has the first 200

[Zyuuzu Jaggerjack]

1. The King - HunterxHunter (wicked strong)

2. Chao Lingshen - Negima! (well, not really a villain but dang close)

3. Takatori - Weiss Kreuz (retarded villain)
