Why does Dio get all of the credit for being Giorno's dad? It was Jonathan's sperm.

maybe it was technically Jonathan's sperm, but I bet Dio used some magical vampire bs to make it all his dna.
wait a minute, if Dio's a vampire how come his kids aren't vampires

Did you know that Giornos name backwards is Alucard
I always assume he was Jonathan's Kid but since it was controlled by dio's head and he did the deed it's technically Dio's

Giorno draws people to him with his cool charisma. I wonder if Dio would be proud of his Stand. "But Giorno, the mechanics of your stand are too abstract. It shouts 'Muda' I love it."
"with those luscious lips of his..."
skimming through it so basically GioGio is Dio who inherited the Joestar heart. which is true tbh and never realised the many parallels
Diego is still best Dio

That was a pretty good read. It's actually interesting that the only two people that speak proper Japanese are the villainous lawyer and the mafia kid. Giorno is kind, but yeah...he'll fucking kill your ass if he doesn't like you. Killed that fat dude the first chance he got, wasn't even in a comedic way.
I mean tbf he did that because fat bastard killed an innocent bystander young Jonathan and Jotaro wouldn't shed a tear but yeah Giorno is ruthless

Yeah this one does seem like the most subtle part, but at the same time it's very straight forward in a way. It doesn't meander on anything for too long and you know why everything is happening, it's just one weird ass part because the stands are crazy.
Jonathan would probably be pissed, but would just talk Polpio to death. Jotaro probably wouldn't say anything though.
That is funny thinking about it
Fours being unlucky also contrasts with Giorno's three thing.
also, the Sex Pistols are numbed from 1 to 7, skipping 4, but Cinque gets treated like shit by the others because he's really number 4, and Mista unconsciously hates him.
just realised fucked up meant Joseph not jonathan
Who is more ruthless Part 7 Jonathan or Gio

One of the things that stuck out to me from part 7 was when Gyro was getting called out for not being murderous enough
I should reread the Mandom and Civil War fights

Things are starting to heat up fast. I'm really liking this arc so far too. I'm a bit confused over what Mamezuku said about the fruit though. He said
Also Yasuho was right,
.
that the enemy is looking for the "new Rokakaka fruit and scientific data on it", but isn't the fruit that's growing on the branch right now no different than any other Rokakaka fruit? Unless he meant new as in the fruit has just now fully grown. But if that's the case then doesn't the enemy (rock humans and friends) already have a supply of the fruit?
Also Yasuho was right,
he really is a dickhead

Mamezuku sure likes to say a lot without really saying anything. Also, he's a big meanie :[
Basically, when Josefumi stole the Rokakaka branch and used his stand to graft it onto a normal tree, he accidentally created a new kind of Rokakaka. We don't know what exactly makes it different, but it's only with the New Rokakaka that someone like Gappy could exist (though the natural power of the beach interfered there), so it's presumably very different. And now, according to Rai, it's possible to derive an immortality drug from it.
(Or in other words, if the Rokakaka is like the Stone Mask, the New Rokakaka is like the Red Stone of Aja.)
(Or in other words, if the Rokakaka is like the Stone Mask, the New Rokakaka is like the Red Stone of Aja.)
I see, I just assumed that the reason why Gappy came to be was mostly due to the Wall Eyes and not the fruit. I didn't think of it the other way around. Maybe what makes the new Rokakaka special is that it was grown with the Wall Eye soil which gave it some of its unique properties.
My guess is the New Rokakaka is special both for being a hybrid and grown from Wall Eye soil, and when Josefumi used it on Kira, something special happened. We don't know what, but we do know that the normal Rokakaka takes things from yourself (the baseball pitcher lost his own mouth in exchange for being healed), but when Josefumi uses the New Rokakaka, his face starts breaking apart, not Kira's. And then the Wall Eye soil merged their two bodies in some unique way, resulting in Gappy.
(If I had to randomly guess, I'd say from how Gappy looks so much more like Kira than Josefumi, that the New Rokakaka was going to sacrifice Josefumi's body to restore Kira back to life, but being merged by the Wall Eyes stopped that from properly working or interfered somehow. Take that with a bucket of salt, though.)

Take that with a bucket of salt, though.)
I went back and reread the chapters and you're totally right. Right after feeding Kira the fruit, Josefumi's body started to crumble and be exchanged in order to heal Kira's wounds. I do like your theory about how the new Rokakaka works too as it makes sense. If both of them didn't get buried in the Wall Eyes, the Equivalent Exchange might have finished allowing Kira to come back to life. If the new fruit allows for someone to exchange themselves to another person, I guess it wouldn't be too far of a stretch for one person to exchange away their youth to someone else, hence the interest in immortality.
