#bare bare bare scraps of personhood. faintest traces of real existence beyond that week of combat

where jjba differs from chainsaw man is that jojo is almost fundamentally unconcerned with its characters as people. characters are conduits for morals or metaphors. we all joke that nobody in jojo talks like a person but to be entirely frank almost nobody is treated like one either. chainsaw man is a story about denji learning about love. golden wind is a story about the death of justice and innocence and children...that's why jojo characters are so fascinating because they're barely meant to be characters at all. it's so interesting to see the bare moments where the action and magic is pulled back enough that you see a glimpse of personhood
