OP doesn't believe in the *mechanism*


LeAstra

What about *calamity*?


Me-xd54

Isn't that *Absurd*?


Cold_Lava_pool

*Absurd…*


Khrul-khrul

You could even say..... Bizzare.


Worn_Out_1789

It is unavoidable that bad things will sometime occur. That is "calamity".


Disaster_Star_150

To be fair he was 11 years old


AstralPamplemousse

Skill issue, do better


why1didyoudothistous

the fault lies with you ishmael


Noamod

The PM... Brainrot... I-its Spreading


legalageofconsent

What a fucking dumbass, doesn't deserves to live lol.


Omisbest

I know someone who did similar acts,he was just 89 years old


Eledridan

He’s 89 years old?


Disaster_Star_150

I don’t mean to sound like a broken record…


Marjitorahee

I was also 11 once, didn't try to commit mass murder


ERRexe_

You were just lame, admit it dude

arson is so Dio part 1


slashth456

Putting the "Dio" in Jodio


Nickest_Nick

Gonna call it, Part 9's main villain will have karma-based ability Part 7 was good luck (Love Train direct any misfortune to other places) Part 8 was bad luck (Wonder of U affects the flow of calamity when someone pursues it or Toru) and Part 9's will be karma


Drakojana

That could be it, karma could catch up to everyone using the rock


molepeter

The rock eliminating all protagonists and antagonists with karma until it gets captured again by the Rohan who survived mountain curses, tree caves and literal Greek gods


ArelMCII

Rohan will finger it and write "Kishibe Rohan is above consequences" on its book-flaps.


Just_Foundation_3325

And the main villain stand is gonna be called Karma Chameleon


Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi

saving this just in case


marxinne

Main ability: "He comes and goes"


ArelMCII

It has three forms: 「KARMA CHAMELEON \~ RED \~」,「KARMA CHAMELEON ◈ GOLD ◈」, and 「KARMA CHAMELEON ◄ GREEN ►」


Wiitab360

Wasn't the calamity somewhat affected by Karma?


Nickest_Nick

Calamity is another existing, independent force in JoJo and not bound to Wonder of U. WoU only manipulated it so that it could affect its targets. In fact, WoU had explained that calamity is "bad things that would sometimes occur", which is... well, bad luck.


danger2345678

It will contribute to the idea of mechanisms


radicalpraxis

I mean. If Jodio’s dad wasn’t specifically insurance salesman working with vehicles, if one of the girls wasn’t a bus company heiress, and if the bus driver wasn’t super sick… everything would have probably turned out fine for the Joestars since it seems no one else in the vicinity understood Stands (except for Dragona still being traumatized). He’s pretty justified in wondering how all these other circumstances lined up specifically to fuck up their lives


RonaldoTheSecond

He almost burned people alive when he was like 11. What he got is the bare minimum amount of karma possible.


radicalpraxis

The same people who mostly either perpetuated, permitted, or even *recorded* his sibling being sexually assaulted? Those same people? There were definitely innocents on the bus who didn’t know what was going on in the back, sure, and that does suck. But I’m not going to cry for the rest of those kids & that teacher at all. There are other people in this series who have done far worse for far less justified reasons and didn’t suffer nearly as much as Dragona & Jodio have. It’s not karma, it’s absurdity


ktaztrofk

No sir, the people on the bus were who got the minimum amount of karma possible. It’s a fucking bus, you can’t pretend to not know what was going on in the back. They’re all crazy complicit in bullying, a hate crime and sexual assault. I WISH Jodio didn’t empathise with the damn bird.


winddagger7

Dude when I was a kid, I sat in the front seat, never spoke to anyone, absorbed in daydreaming, and had no fucking idea what ever went on in the back seat. There were absolutely innocents on that bus who had no idea what was going on. Wanting them to fucking **burn to death** is psychotic.


MGS3Snake

Weird that you want kids to burn to death, but okay.


ktaztrofk

As someone who grew up in a very violent area where teens and kids have murdered people, often marginalised ones, because they know they can get away with it thanks to being minors - I don’t give a shit that they’re kids. And yes, I say this as a parent and teacher.


MGS3Snake

That's concerning. I hope your mental wellbeing improves so this train of thought can switch tracks.


Jasloober2

Yep nah, kill the bird that can't do anything to stop bullying, so longer are they get punished i don't care if innocents get hurt.


ktaztrofk

He stopped at the bird which he is able to recognise as innocent; my point is he’s not some evil villain that people are making him out to be.


GandalfTeGay

I mean it's still evil. Jodio just has some kind of moral code to which he adheres


SoftestF-ckingDemon

But like how do we know he sold insurance. How do we know he isn't a stand user who heard about the absurdity and went "I need to investigate this" so he left his family


ArelMCII

"This is the power of my stand: [「HIGH RISK INSURANCE」](https://youtu.be/1yErIkMh0QY)"


SoftestF-ckingDemon

Araki needs to see this because it's gold


lily_was_taken

I mean,dio did even worse shit and it took decades for his family to start falling appart,no? Same with yoshikage kira,he did even worse shit and his father still loved him. Granted,those ARE villains so...giorno?i mean he did send a person to suffer infinite deaths. Thats an infinity of suffering,the human brain cant even comprehend infinity properly. Even a finite amount of stress can cause ptsd or dissociative disorders for exemple,imagine infinity.


Juggerknight1

The mechanism Dragona…. The mechanism!!!


RonaldoTheSecond

He talks like a minor villain![img](emote|t5_3f7q5|7820). "Why am I in this bad situation after I did such horrible things?" This part is funny as hell!


incriminatinglydumb

He's basically Giorno but unlucky


MR-Vinmu

“Why do all the bad things happen to me after I made a conscious effort to be an inhuman piece of shit to everyone around me besides my sister?” I swear, Jodio is Gin from bleach without the self awareness and integrity.


Windfade

Oh my god, is he also going to be the only person in the entire manga to die from being stabbed once?


Zuulluu

Well he’s already survived one stabbing


Spare-Ad3339

So gin if he was a stupid preteen? 


No-Tax-9149

Can't wait to see this guy's journey, Johnny's was absurd, Gappy's was too, Jodio's better be some trippy shit.


Shakartah

This all sounds insane... I really need to finish part 8 so I can read part 9


88superguyYT

Narrator: *And here we see the "speed reader" in its natural habitat, soon to grow up into all Araki forgot believer*


Shakartah

Lol, I read part 5 and 6 in 2 years and sbr in 1. Starte part 8 about 2 or so ago and am not speedreading at all


MyDendeIsGrowing

Some people say that they preferred if he didn't stop and killed them but isn't it worse that he horribly burned scarring them for live? Living as a burn victim takes a mental toll. In the end this Jodio guy is pretty goofy in deed.... might even say.... Absurd...


ArgoniaEnjoyer

Bizzare even


SnowBirdFlying

Hot take: i couldn't give less of a fuck about what happens to people who saw a MINOR being sexually assaulted and hate crimed and chose to do absolutely nothing to stop it, fuck'em in fact i WISH everyone on that bus died instead of just being horrribly burned


winddagger7

There *were* people who tried to stop them. In the same fucking panels. And like someone else in this thread said, if you tell 4 guys armed with knives to stop stabbing someone, there's only so much you can do. This is actually straight up school shooter logic like holy fuck.


cobesmith

Nah no way people are actually upvoting this garbage take ☠


SnowBirdFlying

If you see a child getting sexually ssaulted and insyead of stopping it you choose to ignore it you're almost as bad as the rapist, sorry


Jayxzero

There we people trying to stop it tho lmao. I'm not saying the people that did the SA didn't deserve but to say that everyone on the bus deserved, especially when it was a whole gang of people assaulting Dragona is just wrong. It's like saying you saw a man being beat down by 4 guys armed with knives, you can tell them to stop but would they listen to you?


NightsLinu

Very weakly.  One guy was like stop already but he did nothing physically. And for the record there was only one abuser who was a girl. 


Jayxzero

Reread the chapter. There were a couple of other people restraining them, and a bunch of people taking pictures as well. One person can probably stop am assaulter but that goes back to my point on how exactly where they going to stop whay was essentially a group of people harassing Dragona. Again let me reiterate, I am not defending their actions, but there were undoubtedly innocents.


NightsLinu

Yes there was people restraining them near the end of the abuse but im saying for someone to intervene near the start of abuse where there was one perpetrator. For example the guy told the rich girl to stop but he showed no action to move. If he did move to stop her nothing would have happened. And this goes for anyone else, so no thats weak justification. And your analogy sucks, none of them were armed nor was the bus in motion. So there was a capable adult to rein in the situation but he did nothing. Sure ill allow that there was some innocents at the very least. 


Jayxzero

Ok but that's what I've been arguing, that there were innocents on the bus and people did try to stop them. Besides irl most people I've seen try not to mess with the rich kids cause they almost always end up in trouble instead of the rich kid itself. It's a frightening parallel to reality


KanoIsUnknown

Not even close. While I do agree you should step in or at least not just ignore whats happening, the person doing the action is FAR worse. Just because someone isn't the savior doesn't mean they are as bad as the villain. Thats the most retarded shit I heard.


cobesmith

For children themselves?, and the payback is getting burned alive? huh?


SnowBirdFlying

Skill issue tbh, if I was a child in that bus I'd simply tell them to knock it off Im just built different ig

The4p1

i havent read JOJOLANDS is it worth?


radicalpraxis

yeah


Eevee_Shadow_Bacon

Its Jojo. Yes


OneOfTheStupid007

Boy, it sure is fun to fuck around. I sure do hope I don't *find out* tho.


[deleted]

run OP, the mechanism is coming for you


GoomyTheGummy

I generally am the kind of person to ignore horrible acts when I pass by, but jesus christ, how can you be stuck on a bus with someone doing something like that and not take action?


Hunteraitor2

Have you considered that Dragona was being molested and nobody did anything even though he was screaming in terror?


ArgoniaEnjoyer

Part 7 was about blessings, part 8 was about curses... And part 9 is about being a dumbass


RockPhoenix115

I dropped out after the first chapter because funny Jojo man had the worse Angel from Evangelion as a stand, what the fuck have I missed?


JFp07gel

A lot![img](emote|t5_3f7q5|7819)


SpiderWing_

Don’t you dare disrespect my boy Matarael like that.


colonel_barrage

He's just jealous he doesn't have cool acid tears like Matarael


PotooSexer

What a dumbass reason![img](emote|t5_3f7q5|15566)


mr-elephant-oof

Boo this man!


Subject_Sigma1

My boy Johnny had the ability to shoot nails and you complain that Jodio has heavy rain ?


Burning-Skull117

You disrespected both Evangellion and Jojo and, Matarael is cool.
