I think it's very wholesome how Araki plays along with Shoko. You would think, given how introverted he normally is, that such a high-energy interview where someone dresses up and talks about marrying one of his characters would be too much for him, but no, he seems like he enjoys himself quite a bit here. Shoko also seems like a very nice and talented woman who is always thinking about the next big creative project. Her including her dad in her work as some form of guardian angel who is still with her through her cats also made me emotional ngl. Also, "Araki predicted 9/11" was not something I thought I would ever hear.

6:48 Even though it looks funny and cursed, I actually like the concept of Siamese twins in JoJo universe. They have a lot of potential in regards to chapter's themes, how their stand(s) could function, and even design ideas, something like hair or mask covering the face of another twin while they are not needed. Also, relationships between them and their capabilities using not just their stand, but the unique feature of being Siamese twins can be an interesting power to inspect.

@austinaldy2150

Imagine they have a stand that divided into two and both power contradicting each other, like the first part able to push while the other pull something, they can combined the power to some degree and make it more deadly. The pull stand can touch an object and able to select anything nearby that will be pulled into that object, while the push stand do the exact opposite. If both stand part touch the same object, it can forcefully merge or separated that object in molecular level. Thus, they can use it to separate / merge themselves. It's not too busted, but with some creativity the stand user can be the most annoying opponent. For the example in the battle scenario, the push part touch its user chest as the object and choose the enemy left fist as the target. Whenever the foe try to punch the user's chest they will be pushed away. Then the pull part touch the kitchen knife and choose the foe's head as the target, they can launch that knife from distance.

Isn't romantically interested "that much." My guess is, she just had the type of personality he didn't realize he was attracted to until he met her. My guess, based on what little we know of her, is that she was kind and gentle like his mother but also strong willed like him - most likely standing up to him when he said something rude. EDIT: After thinking about it for a minute, I'm gonna say Jotaro's wife probably has a very similar personality to Araki's wife.

Araki seemed to be cracking up at Shoko's obsession with Jotaro, and giveb it seems to not be the last time they've at least heard of each other, i think Araki really did enjoy and feel fine, Japanese culture is very lacking on the "sens eof shame/cribge" ublike us from what i see, so Shoko being so over the top and all that is just normal to them

Shoko Nakagawa is the epitome of wholesome awesomeness.

1. Okay but fr I woulda been the same as Shoko during that interview but obsessed with Giorno instead. 2. 8:42 The sequel we needed. 3. Perfect timing, gonna be watching the screening for Lagann-Hen tomorrow.

This is an absolutely legendary interview, and I think it was actually my first proper introduction to Jojo (imagine my fucking confusion). This was before the anime adaptation, so I had only seen some random memes and redraws and Jojo references that I didn't even know were from JoJo. The only reason I came across this interview is because I was (still am) deep into the Pokémon fandom, and back then the Pokémon Sunday! show used to be the first to release news about the games and anime, so we used to watch it during some important announcements eagerly anticipating the news. That's how I got introduced to Shokotan, which introduced me to Jojo.

Bro she showed up Araki with an amazing 1 to 1 Jotaro while Araki made an oingo boingo drawing

Incredible that the Pokemon Bank was inspired by Shoko's suggestion.

JoJo fun fact: Jotaro’s English va, Matthew Mercer also voices Hit from Dragon Ball Super. This gives a neat correlation with two jacket wearing guys who can punch real hard and stop time. Also, Jotaro learned how to move in Dio’s stopped time while Goku learned how to bypass Hit’s time skip. This gives a neat correlation between the two.

Always love when HB tackles something more comedic

You can hear it in the way she talks, she's SUPER EXCITED. She got to meet one of her heroes and have a good experience, very lucky. Love Shoko's music too.

Just like how Stand users attract each other, Araki seems to attract people who are just and strange and off-beat as he is. I didn’t know much about Shoko beyond the interview until watching this, but she seems really fun to be around, and very entertaining to watch. I hope this video brings more Western attention to her!

YOOOOO, I remember watching this interview when I first got into Jojo's.

I wish I could find a woman like Shoko Nakagawa who unconditionally is obsessed with me. Jotaro is a lucky man.

When look back at the interview, her Jotaro costume is Black when that time Jotaro costume mostly display as Blue before anime adaptation. Along with her wedding in Hawaii, maybe that is her stand power.

after seeing that stand concept, this woman is actually deranged, how do you get put on the spot and think of that

11:46 - 11:53 Massive props for using his original Japanese name (which is Yogen-Gyo). Many Non-Dragon Ball Tubers would refer to him as "Seer" (as name in the FUNimation dub)

As a Part 3 enjoyer myself i would also would interwiev Araki dress as Jotaro and fan girling all the time Find kinda crazy that one of the few coments on Jotaros preferences is said here , in a weird way to , he saids he thinks Jotaro dosent like woman , as if he as an author aint sure even after finishing his hole cracter arc in stone ocean and thus after he created Jolyne Is a peculiar stament haivng in mind all the context Some may say is just cause Araki fells off whit Shokos love for Jotaro But he clearly is very cormftable whit her despite felling a bit embarsed by her being a huge fan Idk maybe im reading to mutch in to a small declaration but well is something each will draw its own conclusion on personal perspectives i supose

Guys I think she might be a Jojo fan, just a guess tho
