    I think it's because of the "au parts are combined versions of previous parts" theory

    Like part 7 is au parts 1+2

    Part 8 is au parts 3+4

    And part 9 is au parts 5+6

    Like jojo is imploding on itself

    And people are saying that if it ended on part 9 then it would mean that jojo would be a trilogy of trilogies

    I swear I remember Araki saying he'd like to work on jojo until he dies

    But from what I know part 9 being the final part is just speculation.

    That is so real.

    Rohan as a self insert has a lot of flaws and is a stand alone character but it becomes obvious that it's a self insert at certain points. (I mean flaws as not a Mary sue)

    Like the fact that he just so happens to be a Manga artist who also happens to be awesome and successful and has the jojo of part 9 being a huge fan boy for him.

    Rohan in part 9 literally has the same design as him in part 4 too.

    Why don't other authors do this? If you plan to work in 1 universe for a long time, but want to keep things fresh and interesting, why not follow different stories and characters every 50-100 chapters? Gives opportunity for artistic expression without being restrained by rules you created on chapter 1.

    True. They simultaneously keep introducing new characters and somehow still don’t let older characters retire

    parent root
    3 points Tljunior20

    To be fair I think that’s a bit reductive as a description

    Whilst often the main characters remain the same or return eventually most bew storylines absolutely introduce new elements and ideas that havnt been explored before like the kryptonite city in superman unlimited same with places whikst they arnt always explored much after there’s always a new planet or udnerground city

    And a simaler thing goes with characters look at the green lanterns almost entire history or lizzie(as much as we hate her) Jon and Damian

    Hell the fact Jon can exist at all is evidence of just how much the status quo changes

    Stuff like the multiverse whilst occasionally a crutch is a way to explore a lot of cool ideas like the absolute verse

    Characters in comics stay dead more than people act like you just don’t realise because you only look at popular ones

    First it's the cast, not every author can make a good cast a lot of times, and if you can't make the new cast has interesting has the last one the chances that you will lose your fans are not small, the axe is something every author fears and for good reason making such a bold move could very well make you lose so many sales that you simply get dropped.

    But I mean in a way older shonen are doing this now with the new generation shit, the four knights of the apocalypse and boruto being two examples, one is well loved by the fandom while the other is rather divisive and that would be a problem if the Naruto hype didn't carry it.

    She wanted to make friends because she couldnt comunicate.

Making 100 friends is just as important to the story as her learning to communicate.
