Remember Narciso Anasui's sex change?

Aside from that, in the last chapter the figure that pulled Yasuho into the hole looked quite adult (and it didn't look like a stand) judging from the size of it hands, not sure if it's an inconsistency in the art or suggesting something else.The cliffhanger is great as always, perhaps awaiting some action from Yasuho.

wait so if this kid has a stand that allows him to fold things like origami...does that mean it has some connection to rina higashikata's orgigami disease???

So that's two retcons in part 8 now: changing Going Underground's name to Born This Way didn't really bug me, but changing Tsurugi from a 2 to 9 years old is a bit strange. Hopefully there won't be too many more changes like this in the rest of Lion.

Another thing I found strange is that Yasuho had her phone up until about page 10. Did she forget that she had it because of the nausea? Tsurugi himself is very strange, (apparently the Higashikata family in the SBR universe is incapable of raising their kids to be anything but obsessive and self-centred :-p) though I am looking forward to seeing more of his origami stand and the connection it has to Rina Higashikata's illness.

A few final points I'd like to comment on:

  • I really liked the title page (mirroring Josuke's version) and I hope we'll get to see some similar with some of the other characters later on (eg Joshuu and Daiya)
  • There won't be any JoJo next month, which is also when ASB comes out. Is Araki planning something to coincide with the game's release?
  • Just this:

  • Exactly, I even went to his exhibition in Italy, but he was there only the first day. So, I'm guessing he is still on vacation with his family in Italy.

    Aside that, I don't care the sex change, it is fitting Araki's style. Also, perhaps the next chapter will be a stand fight between Tsurugi and Yasuho? Can't wait.

    I see, I wasn't aware that he had another exhibit running right now lol. Makes me wish I could travel to Italy all the more. Hope that Araki and his family enjoy their holiday.

    At this point no, but this sort of bring things back around (at least partially) to what I meant by "something to coincide with ASB". While this is just speculation, I think that timewise an announcement of a SC anime at the same timeframe as ASB would maximise both the publicity for the series and the game. If they waited too much longer then DP might see a decrease in potential Blu-Ray/DVD sales from the anime no longer being fresh in people's minds.

    Again just speculation on my part, but it could happen :p.

    Yeah, I thought the same. Also, I heard some rumours (From a few of friends, and 4chan) that were saying that in the latest chapter of JoJolion (23) there were "news" about SC anime, that's why I was asking. But since, I don't have the original chapter from Japan, I don't know if it's true.

    AGREED. I couldn't have wanted a better suiting VA, after his role in Fate/Zero as Tokiomi where he is able to see the order of things and goes out of his way to put people in their place and working with priests to rig the Grail War, it goes so well with Pucci's intentions.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qTS5hYXAFw I helped to translate this video and got this video that shows a comparison of the manga scenes to the 6th Game PV here.

    I wanted to see a full activation of Made in Heaven in the AI tournament but the round always ended before even getting C-Moon out. So I now have to wait for the game to be released to see it.

    Yasuho's measurments are simply fantastic if you ask me. xD

    Tsurugi is a boy, huh? Pretty unexpected gender change, though I see inconsistency in art presenting that pervert touching Yasuho. He looked definitely like an adult.

    Anyway, Tsurugi seems to be a weird kid, lol. His Stand might be related to that origami toy he was playing with (and with which he annoyed Yasuho as well).

    Oh, so Yasuho is getting a stand battle now? That's cool. The Origami stand makesme think iit's going to be a mind game sort of battle. The cell phone was one of the things listed on the origami thing, so maybe that was the substitution for the hair Yasuho didn't want to offer?

    The way her face looked after her cellphone was attached to her face reminded me off the disease from Rina, but the kid couldn't have been born at that point, so the connection is questionable...

    Damn Yashuo unknowingly groped a 7 year old boy? Dressed as a girl? He has to wear those dresses for 5 years? Wards off evil spirits wth is this India? This was by far the most bizarre chapter.
