Oh, my. Cars I knew was coming. Rohan I didn’t expect at all. Also, Kira, but you’re not seeing any new stuff from him.

First off, some direct quotes from the Cars page translated by someone and then posted in the JoJo thread (Edit 3: Found out later that these came from Hurricane Crew):

Situation Finish: In certain stages, you can finish an opponent in a certain way and a special cutscene is triggered. Joseph’s fight with Wham is pictured.
Rush Mode: Something similar to Blazing Fist matches.
AND CUSTOMIZE, not only for costumes, you can also change the words and SFX of their victory poses.
At the bottom it says “There will be something special presented next issue. Wait and ‘wiiin wiiiin.'”

Left text near the two smaller pictures:
“LIGHT MODE”
Before Evolution, Kars will manipulate his blades to rip up his opponent.

Text near flying Kars:
After Evolution… Kars seems so divine!

I don’t know what the special announcement will be. It could be anything from a general gameplay exposé to an interview with someone on the team. I imagine the “Situation Finish” effect was inspired by that they knew that people would want to recreate famous fights in JoJo’s, so they just said, “Let’s make it so that you can actually do that.”

The spreads so far aren’t super informative about the characters. Cars works the way we’ve expected, 1: Hit with blades, 2: Turn into a god and kill people with squirrels and piranhas. Rohan is who I’m really interested in because I was convinced they wouldn’t be able to work him in. There are some things that Heaven’s Gate can do, there’s an easy grab move in “Fly Backwards at 60kph,” and maybe the “You cannot attack Rohan Kishibe” could work as a status effect, but the possibilities are both vast and confusing. (Edit 4: According to a different HC post, Rohan is confirmed to have this move.) There’s a lot of stuff I could see happening with Rohan that would be super broken, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Most of the text on the Rohan page is too small for me to read, but the light yellow text in the left box I think says, “The Three New Great Systems of ‘Reality,'” so that’s probably some more gameplay elements like in the quote from before, and Cars and Kira on the right are being called, “2 Big Bosses,” and that’s just kinda cool. (Edit: At least I couldn’t see it on my older monitor. On my phone, I can. The block with “Three New Great Systems” says the same thing as it does in the Cars spread with customize and all that.) (Edit 2: Also, I found a bigger version of the Rohan spread through Yaraon on someone’s, I think their name is Yang Kanda/yang_xyz, twitter. I don’t know who that is, but they have that spread and now the Rohan image here links to it.)

You know what to look forward too. Also the special announcement, so excitement is high!

JoJo Royale Stage 6 START and Stage 5 Look Back

Stage 5 of the JoJo Royale has ended. The Ena boards are all in. The official site does not list a winner of the replica bow and arrow at time of writing, but the entrants and highlights are all listed on the Google Plus Page. And, wow. Check out some of the top entries.

I’m sure it’s obvious, but it’s really hard to only show off a few of these. I could post 50 of the entries and still feel like I was missing something. The creativity and artistic skill in these is really impressive. Whoever wins, I’ll never guess until I see the entry because I don’t know if I could pick one winner. You can see the full gallery of entries here at the Google Plus site.

Of course, with the ending of one stage comes the beginning of a new one.

Stage 6: BLOCK

The challenge is to make some sort of JoJo’s expression using block materials. The prize this time is Hirohiko Araki’s drawing desk. There are a handful of Lego entries, as you can imagine, but the entries are not limited to that. As long as it’s made of blocks, it’s a legitimate entry to the Stage.

The deadline is February 1st. Post your entries here. Good luck!
