Chapter 245. Teag Kids That a World Without Darkness is a Bad Thing

  ---

  The online uproar was entirely ignored.

  In fact, it recisely because Cujoh Jolyne had seen these angry ents that her mood was so eted.

  In most typical stories, if the writer is a deus ex maa plot device for the protagonist, it be chalked up to desperation—an attempt to salvage the narrative from a dead end and avoid a poor clusion.

  However, to give the antagonist—about to be defeated by the protagonist—the same sort of deus ex maa to turables...

  It's akin to telling young children in kid-oriented shows: "I believe teag kids that 'the world has no darkness' is a very bad thing."

  It's darkly humorous in the most horrifying way!

  Although, "Stardust Crusaders" and "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" doly fall uhe category of children's oriented shows.

  After all, whether it's Jotaro's prison stint in the opening or his iie, "Although, I drink, smoke, a up teachers, but I'm still a good guy," these hardly make for positive influences on a teenager's growth.

  But the fws in Jotaro's character do not overshadow the golden light that shines from his soul.

  Moreover, "Stardust Crusaders" is a uraditional yet unventional shonen battle series!

  And to i such a plot into this kind of work...

  Well done, Pucci! You truly outdid yourself.

  To e up with a storyline like this—having such a "brilliant" mind on board—it's no wreen Dolphin Studio is heading for bankruptcy!

  Cujoh Jolyne was ecstatic.

  Even the freshly drafted script for "Diamond Is Unbreakable"—which Pucci wrote while simultaneously direg "Stardust Crusaders" and drawing from memories of the inal timeline—was given only a cursnce.

  After firming that Pucci had at least loosely followed her instrus, Jolyne waved her hand, urging the staff to immediately upload the script into the full-dive shooting equipment.

  Her urgency alpable, as if afraid Pucci might ge his mind. She even insisted on uploading the script and start modeling the data for full-dive filming right away.

  "Jolyne, aren't we moving a bit too fast?"

  Watg Jolyne's hasty as, Kakyoin Ryoko couldn't help but speak up.

  "I feel like we should wait for Director Pucci or Director Shinbo to approve this first."

  "Also, the plot of "Diamond Is Unbreakable" seems... a little off..."

  To be clear, Kakyoin Ryoko wasn't doubting the script's quality. Though Jolyne's "filter the bad, keep the good" approach left the script inprehensible to Ryoko, as usual.

  She couldn't uand how a story starting with a meetiween the new and old JoJo—simir to "Stardust Crusaders"—could evolve into an internal battle between JoJonists, much like how lead and sedary Riders in "Kamen Rider" always end up fighting.

  But why?

  Why does Jotaro, once agaihe short end of the sti "Diamond Is Unbreakable"?

  Wasn't it standard practice to give the senior JoJo some respect?

  If the goal was to address the issues in "Stardust Crusaders", where Jotaro's character development suffered because of Joseph's overly bright spotlight, then why was Josuke, the new JoJo, getting crushed during his actual battles against vilins?

  Isn't that the exact opposite of what's supposed to happen?!

  However, Ryoko had learned from experience.

  Every time she raised such s, Pucd his team would prove her wrong.

  So despite the barrage of question marks in her mind, Ryoko refrained from openly challenging Jolyhis time.

  She quietly accepted the "bizarre" script… until now.

  "What's wrong with it?" Jolyne asked ily.

  Wrong?

  Wrong is exactly what she wanted!

  Why else would she bother filming "Diamond Is Unbreakable"?!

  Ryoko, recalling the tless times her objes had been turned into shameful defeats, could only groan in frustration.

  But professionalism outweighed embarrassment.

  She had to remind her friend and boss:

  "There are lots of issues with "Diamond Is Unbreakable"! Jolyne, don't tell me you haven't noticed even one!"

  "For starters, why is the new JoJo in "Diamond Is Unbreakable" Joseph Joestar's son!?"

  Old Joseph is not only a major shareholder at Green Dolphin Studio but also Jolyne's great-grandfather. Is it really appropriate for Jolyo write such a sdalous plot about her own aor?

  Most importantly, Joseph "died" in "Stardust Crusaders"!

  If you could argue earlier that Joseph survived the fatal knife wounds from DIO due to his Hamon training, which could eve him recover from a high-speed fall without a parachute, then maybe.

  But after DIO drained Joseph's blood pletely, leaving his body shriveled and soul departing—how you still cim he didn't die?

  You have to know that the script is shot in full-dive mode, but o is uploaded inot the shooting equipment, the modeling of the script world is pleted. Then we 't just ge the script casually!

  This is just like the 3D modeling in the old days, the better the rendering, the more expe is. The openeing animation those blockbuster games illions of dolrs even though it only takes a few minutes.

  Likewise the cost of full-dive filming will only be more expensive!

  To correct this shooting error is like buying two pancakes, eating one and throwing away the other, whiot only wastes the previous modeling expenses but also costs more moo build a new one.

  Kakyoin Ryoko being in charge of finance would never agree to such meaningless extragavant spendings. At least before Puces and expins the ERROR clearly, she 't let Joly like this!

  "Oh. So, that's how it is. I hadn't noticed it before."

  And with that Jolyne pressed the firmation key without hesitation.

  Feigning innoce, she excimed, "Oh no! What have I done? I thought I hit cel, but I actally uploaded it all into the filming system!"

  "..."

  "...JOLYNE! WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?! AAAHHHHHH!!!"
