Tribute Art
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!
Rohan: "I hope Pink Dark Boy will be made into an anime too."
露伴:「『ピンクダークの少年』もアニメ化してほしいな」
Gyro: "Nyo-ho, Congrats!"
先生、これからもずっとあこがれ続けます!
ジャイロ: 「ニョホッ おめでとさん!」
