Congratulations on JoJo's 25th anniversary, Araki-sensei!! Back in my student days, it was because of JoJo that I aspired to become a manga artist. And from now on, I want to continue striving to follow in your footsteps. Thank you so much!!
荒木先生ジョジョ25周年 おめでとうございます!! 学生時代、ジョジョがあったからマンが家を目指しました。 そしてこれからも荒木先生の背中を目指し続けたいと思います。 よろしくお願いします!!

Congratulations on the 25th anniversary of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Looking back, I started reading JoJo partway through Part 3, making me an absolute beginner at the time. Yet now, I've somehow become an old-school fan, and that fact astonishes me. As someone who has now worked as a creator and been serialized in Jump, I've come to truly realize that JoJo is an exceptionally brilliant manga in its portrayal of "adversity." It’s a manga about escaping from "adverse" situations and "adverse" positions. Life is a series of crises, and humans live through constant struggles. The reason I'm so captivated by JoJo is that I can't help but admire how the successive JoJo protagonists boldly face such harsh realities. Please continue to create such exhilarating manga!
『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険』25周年、おめでとうございます。思えば『ジョジョ』を三部の途中から読み始めたという、当時においては初心者中の初心者だった私も、今やもう、古参のファンになってしまったという事実に驚愕します。自分が原作者としてジャンプで連載して改めて、『ジョジョ』は『困難」の描きかたが極めて秀逸な漫画なのだと、実感しました。そしてその『困難』な状況、『困難』な立場からの脱出を描く漫画なのだと。人生はピンチの連続で、人間は苦しみながら生きていく。私が『ジョジョ』に惹かれる理由は、そんな現実に立ち向かう歴代ジョジョのスカっとする姿にどうしようもなく憧れるからなのだと思います。これからも痛快な漫画 を描き続けてください!

Araki, congratulations on the 25th anniversary of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Twenty-five years—a quarter century—is truly a monumental achievement that has become a page of history. As a creator, the longer we continue our work, the more we develop an "internal editor" within ourselves who manages things like storyboards, schedules, and stamina, right? In my case, I often get distracted and play around, so my internal editor keeps strict control over deadlines and somehow manages to get the job done.
In your case, your internal editor manifests as a Stand, doesn't it? And I believe you have an incredibly capable Stand by your side. My editorial Stand, on the other hand, is quite strict (haha). Let's continue walking further down our respective paths while self-reflecting and working alongside our Stands!
荒木さん、『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険』 25周年おめでとうございます。 25年というと四半世紀。 もう歴史の1ページとなる大偉業ですね。作家生活が長くなると自分の中に、「もう一人編集者が出てきてネーム、スケジュール、体力など管理するようになってきますよね。 僕もすぐ遊んでしまうので、 もう一人の編集者が締め切りを管理し、 ヒ「何とか仕事をしてます。 荒木さんの場合は、もう一人の編集者はスタントになるわけですが、 かなり優秀なスタンドが付いていると思います。 僕の編集スタンドは厳しいです(笑) これからも自らのスタントと自問自答しながらさらなる道のりを進んで行きましょう。

Congratulations on the 25th anniversary of JoJo!! For some reason, I once had the chance to see the raw manuscript for Part 4 before it was published in Jump! It was an absolutely thrilling & moving experience!! At that time, the editor who secretly showed me the manuscript said, "Even Araki-sensei himself doesn't know what he'll be doing in 10 years." Hearing that surprised me a little. Please continue creating and exciting both your readers and all of us!
ジョジョ25周年おめでとうございます!! なぜか4部の生原稿を「ジャンプ」に載る前に拝見させていただいたことがあります! 興奮&感動でしたい!! その時内緒で原稿を見せてくれた編集さんが「荒本先生でさえ10年後は何してるかわからない」とおっしゃったと聞き少し静馬きましたこれからも描き続け読者や私達を興奮させてください!!

Congratulations on the 25th anniversary of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Araki-sensei, your "sense" is just incredible!! Your sense is so sharp—it's practically piercing! And year after year, it just keeps getting sharper, stabbing right into my eyes! I'm jealous! Please let me visit your home again some time... Though I'm worried if someone like me can even come up with a gift good enough to match your incredible sense...
『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険』 25周年おめでとうございます。 荒木先生のとにかく“センス!!” センスが尖りすぎです! どんどん年を追うごとに尖ってきて、 センスが目に突き刺さります! 嫉妬します! また今度、ぜひともお家の方へ遊びに行かせて下さい。 ･･･ただ荒木さんに合うセンスのいいお土産チョイスが･･･ この僕にあるのかが不安っス･･･。

The bizarre and thrilling feeling I had when I read the very first chapter of Part 1 in Jump has continued for 25 years, and the sheer amazement of that makes my heart resonate. Though it's widely rumored that you've mastered the Ripple technique, please take care of your health and continue showing us your incredibly cool world!
第一部の第一話をジャンプで読んだ時の奇妙でゾクゾクする感じが、25年ずっと続いている事の凄さにハートが震えます。 波紋法を会得しているともっぱらの噂の先生ですが、 健康には気をつけてこれからもカッコいい世界を見せてください!

Hasegawa: "I thought about wanting to die, but since I can't, I just stopped working."
Kars: "Excuse me—something seems mixed in here."
Sorachi: Araki-sensei, congratulations on the 25th anniversary of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! The fun of JoJo keeps evolving even after 25 years, and so is your skin, which seems to keep getting younger with time. I was planning to write out all of your charm here, but while wandering endlessly in the eternal deadline hell, stuck as a lifeform caught between theUJ deadline and the J deadline, I found that, even though I wanted to write, I couldn't finish it. So, I stopped writing.
