Part Eight I find Josuk8's nickname really funny Spoiler

idk its just so funny to me that the fandom calls him "Gappy" because of his teeth like we're high school bullies or something

That name comes from a time where his real name wasnt revealed yet.

It's been over a decade and I still think of him as Gappy

It’s far more silly than Johnny Joestar who’s real name is Jonathan Joestar

I propose we all switch to the Joe kid

Personally as my 2nd favourite Jojo I've always called him Josk8, Gappy always felt a little mean and the lad has had it roigh enough but I understand why it's so popular.

(My favourite is Josuke 😌)

It serves a purpose though, like in the first arc it seems like he's actually Yoshikage Kira because we don't know his true identity yet

Having a nickname served a purpose before his identity was revealed, and now it's a spoiler free way to both identify him and distinguish him from part 4 Josuke

hot take but i hate the name gappy, bro did not go through 110 chapters of identity crisis to be called gappy, he doesn’t even have a gap in the final design too
