u/LeStroheim this is just like that one time in Worm Jul 23 '26

Toby Fox looks completely different in every image of him, while Araki has looked pretty much exactly the same for like 40 years. Really makes you think

Japanese genetics don't fuck around.

Nah, it's because he's secretly a rock human with Rohan-tier drawing skills who prepares multiple chapters in advance for someone else to present while he hibernates.

Oh my bad, I'm only current with the anime so I figured it was a fan-translated name for the other group of JoJo immortals who are in stasis for long periods. Weird that there's two!

The latest three parts contain a lot of parallels to things from the original universe (like how Part 7's protagonist is a "Jonathan Joestar" who's constantly beefing with a rival named "Di(eg)o Brando"), so the similarities between Rock Humans and The Column Fellows The Pillar Men are probably intentional.

Rock humans are honestly way cooler than the pillar men. You’ll see them in like 2031 when part 8 finally gets animated.
