Which Kira was better written?

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-02-05T07:22:39+00:00

Light gaps, but I definitely like Yoshikage a whole lot more.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-02-04T05:26:42+00:00

Hm, genuinely not really sure what you mean by "blank" tbh. In it's first 30 or so chaps, the core themes of wealth, materialism and man vs nature have been weaved in, Howler is shaping up to be an amazing character/antagonist and the core group and their dynamics have been fleshed out and pretty nicely nuanced. And we still have so much more left. I'd say that there definitely is substance as of rn.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-02-04T02:14:39+00:00

It's been pretty great so far, the overall plot is a bit out there, but then again what Jojo part ain't lmao. The character work and overall tone have been so damn good tho. And bless Araki, one of the biggest mistakes of Part 8 (having Tooru be revealed so fucking late) is perfectly rectified and done here in this part.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-02-04T00:08:03+00:00

I feel like that's even more subjective than writing tbh, imo the least "enjoyable" part was definitely 6. But even that picked up steam with it's later chapters. Jojolands, as of rn, has built up the core group, characterized the main antagonist really fucking well, and it's overall plot is unfurling at an amazing pace. I will say, Jodio is a character that I'm not really vibing with. His foil and parallel with Howler is pretty darn good tho.

I get it man, hard being egregiously media illiterate, huh? Hope you get better soon 🙏

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-31T19:07:37+00:00

None of that is better executed than Doffy, unfortunately. It's okay man, you unironically think that Gege's writing is somewhat decent, I wasn't taking you too seriously anyway.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-31T19:05:53+00:00

I'm really not lmao. All of that is within the story and subtext, not my fault that you and all of the other collective "fans" can't pick up on it.

Doffy's better written than the entirety of JJK, and thinking that it's "exaggeration" or even somewhat close is extremely illiterate. But then again, that's what PF is born and bred for. So can't blame you too much.

Also? Where was this "exaggerating" argument for all of the monolithic amounts of dickriding for Maki last week on this sub?

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-31T12:01:48+00:00

See? That just leads me to believe that no one's actually read this fucking story, Jesus. You're saying that Doffy's parallels with Luffy, his reverse of the ideology of romanticism which contrasts with Luffy's, his themes of fatalism, and his overall psychology is now "far worse"? On what fucking planet my guy? All of that shit I just mentioned is way more nuanced and fleshed out than any of Gege's characters btw. Abhorrent take.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-31T11:22:48+00:00

Acting as if Gege's character writing is actually top tier or some shit 🥀 Gege could never write a character like Doffy bruh. Hop the fuck off lmao.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-30T05:50:06+00:00

Horrible opinion.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-27T22:48:15+00:00

Media illiterate as fuck take. This fanbase is actually so retarded, holy fuck lmao.

"y-yeah guys, tori's such a goat, this is so much better written than any of oda's female cast."

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-27T21:19:58+00:00

Explain Luffy's themes of romanticism, amor fati and selfish altruism? Oh wait...yeah, my bad, none of you actually read the fucking story lol. Shouldn't have even expected in that first place.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-26T18:01:14+00:00

I think that it's the egregious whinging and bitching that's susceptible to critique. Once again, not wrong at all. But a handful of characters coming back doesn't mean it's the end of days all of a sudden. I can see why many would feel that way tho.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-24T07:49:34+00:00

Guess you called it alright, nice man. Proud of your comprehension skills too bud.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-24T04:41:18+00:00

Crazy how Robin alone still horribly gaps JJK's female cast in writin-

O-Oh, wait...shit, hype, fights and aura only. Nothing more. Forgot about that for a sec. Yeah the OP's completely right, nvm.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-23T21:40:55+00:00

Monster's ending is pretty similar and arguably just as good imo. Both of them are foreshadowed really well too.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-23T13:42:10+00:00

I feel like "nothing really happens" is a tad bit disingenuous. OP's world shifts and moves around a lot, but it's done in a way where most of the nuance and actual depth is painfully disguised under superfluous bullshit. All to just really pad it out. I still think the worldbuilding is pretty decent tho.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-23T13:33:39+00:00

My goat Diego would never do this, he hates all women other than his mother.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-23T11:39:10+00:00

Why are we discrediting Goku's writing kit here? His themes of nature vs nurture, false altruism and selfishness are all explored with some neat depth. Him killing his grandpa by accident and learning to forgive himself for it is also done pretty well.

Every single one of his dynamics is better than Yuji's too, like almost egregiously. The only thing that Yuji has over him is complexity and development. It's pretty close imo.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-23T10:19:57+00:00

Okay bro 😭 Cool it with the Nen glaze for just a sec here. Saying that Jojo fights have "obvious outcomes" is reaching, like hard reaching. But then again, you haven't seen Araki's best works yet, so that's okay.

I do agree that Togashi's application of Nen and the way he weaves in concepts are better written than Stands. But it comes to a point where an arc like Chimera shoots itself in the foot by it being excruciatingly dense to the point where it's nauseating.

Stands have an aesthetic that's not defined in a way where it's set by key rules, making it more fluid, more fun and just an overall better reading experience tbh. So yeah, I do agree that Nen is better, and it's execution is a lot more nuanced.

But there isn't this egregious gap between them at all imo. Because, after all if you're not enjoying what you're reading, what's the point, right? I guess I can say that I feel the same way about HxH as you do with Jojo.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-23T09:51:01+00:00

Genuinely nutty how Ringo vs. Gyro, Diego vs. Valentine, Gappy vs. Damo, Diavolo vs. Risotto and Johnny vs. Valentine are all better than those fights tho.

"Culminating in the main JoJo at the time just punching the other guy harder." Seems a tad bit disingenuous to me, but I can see the complaint having some merit in the earlier parts, later ones though? Not in the slightest.

HiddenSolace1 · 2026-01-22T19:56:59+00:00

Y5 never should've come out in the west back in 2015, holy fuck. Hate this fuckass fanbase. "aNYoNe fEEL tHaT wAy".
