Chapter 183. What is Cujoh Jolyne Doing? She's Sleeping
---
This is like receiving a pillow when you're drowsy!
Especially when Pucci heard Akiyuki Shinbo say that Cujoh Jolyne's iment in Type-Moon Studio wasn't a small amount.
Not to mention the sele and arra of the filming crew.
Even the initial funding for the entire project rovided solely by Cujoh Jolyne herself.
No matter how much Takashi Takeuchi and the others wao get something for nothing, their sce would make them feel uneasy, driving them to pay some pripensate for Cujoh Jolyne's tribution.
In fact, Takashi Takeuchi and the others, unaware of what kind of success their work might achieve if they entered a good produ pany, still couldn't grasp the explosive potential of the colboration.
For them, being able to get such a rge iment from Cujoh Jolyne in exge for just a small cht deal felt like they had struck gold!
Likewise, instead of choosing other things to repay their debts, they selected a project that was destio "lose money" and used the cht of that work as the exge dition.
They were just waiting for the project to fail, and when the cht plummeted in value, Cujoh Jolyne would suffer another loss, making it feel like she had profited twice!
Genius!
The one who came up with this idea was an absolute genius!
It wasn't just her who thought so.
Even Pucci, who had guessed Cujoh Jolyne's iions and marveled at how she could see the potential of Type-Moon Studio at a ghought the same!
After all, if it weren't for the advantage of fht from being a transmigrator, Pucci might not have reized Type-Moon's potential either.
Especially wheudio was still retively down on its luck.
So, if this doesn't make her a genius, then who could possibly be sidered one?
As someone who had already signed a tract with Green Dolphin Studio and, after learning about the quirks of chosen actors and interdimensional terparts, deeply uood that he was uo be a match for the Joestar bloodline, Pucci...
(PS: I know the priest doesn't get defeated by someoh the Joestar bloodline, but he did lose to Emporio, who was influenced by the Joestar bloodline, so in a way, he still lost to the Joestars.)
Upon seeing this, Pucci decisively chose to tinue pledging his loyalty to Cujoh Jolyne.
In a er unbeknownst to Cujoh Jolyne, he assisted Akiyuki Shinbo in fwlessly handling the project.
When it es to uanding Type-Moon Studio,
It would be an exaggeration to say Pucew them better than Takeuchi and Nasu.
However, when it came to how to properly produce Type-Moon's work, Pucci could certainly use his memories from his previous life to expin things clearly to Akiyuki Shinbo.
Only by doing this could he live up to Cujoh Jolyrust, right?
But that was all for ter.
Or rather, Pucci was currently fag a small problem with "Stardust Crusaders"...
No, it couldn't really be called a small problem.
"Among the remaining Tarot cards, there's still The Fool and The World. Based oeral meaning or from the audience's perspective, The World sounds more powerful and is more fitting for DIht? So then..."
Sihe initial inspiration for Stand names came from the Tarot cards,
Both the Stand users in Jotaro's group and DIO's vilinous allies chose to heir Stands after Tarot cards, without any duplicates.
As a result, even viewers of "Stardust Crusaders" would instinctively remember whiew Stand appeared after eaew episode aired, and what its name was.
Then, using a process of elimination that even a primary school student could uand, they could easily figure out the pattern.
They could determine how many Stands had yet to appear and how many episodes of "Stardust Crusaders" were left.
So how could someo think of this? Sora pondered aloud: "Is the enemy 'The Fool', representing the card's inal meaning?"
"No, maybe it's the [Emperor]. After all, Hol Horse mao escape, so it wouldn't be surprising if he returns with a new ally to battle the Joestars."
There were many simir guesses.
Everange choices listed iest job posting from Green Dolphin Studio were taken into at by Sora. Could it be that the studio realized that naming Stands after Tarot cards wasn't rigorous enough?
Or maybe there just weren't enough cards to support the number of Stands needed for the series, so they chose to explore a new naming vention?
Perhaps the tter half of "Stardust Crusaders" was a trial run to get the audience, aced to Tarot card names, used to this and-naming vention before Part 4 arrives.
...But that didn't make seher.
If Green Dolphin Studio had realized the shortings of naming Stands after Tarot cards, why didn't they solve the problem before filming began by adopting the new naming vention?
It's not like they didn't think of it.
When Cujoh Jolyne published the recruitment information on Green Dolphin Studio's website, it wasn't doe in the process.
This proves they were aware of the fw early on and had already thought of a solution!
So, even if the job description did reveal a and-naming vention,
It definitely wouldn't be implemented in Part 3, "Stardust Crusaders."
Likewise, sihe naming vention for Stands was about to ge, the Stands named after Tarot cards would truly remain one-of-a-kind, with no Stand users sharing the same Tarot card.
In other words...
"Is the storyline about to unfold the final part of 'Stardust Crusaders'? Or, if not the final part, are we he end?"
Even though Sora had listed so much evideo support his theory, he still felt unsure, and with sret, he asked: "Shiro, what do you think?"
Despite feeling a bit bad for Jotaro and his group's journey,
It recisely because their adventure had been so captivating that Sora's emotions, after guessing and speg about the ending, were mixed with a small bit of hope.
He hoped his sister Shiro could, like in their games where wins and losses went bad forth, shatter this fantasy!
But unfortunately...
"..."
Fag Sora's hopeful gaze, even Shiro, whose brain was like a superputer, could only e to the same clusion as Siven the scarce clues. She regretfully shook her head.
"I see, there's nothing we do about it then," Sora said helplessly. "After all, Jotaro and the others have already reached Egypt, meaning DIO, who had been hiding there, is nht in front of them. In this case, it's only natural for 'Stardust Crusaders' to dive straight into the final showdown..."
As Sora tinued speaking, his voice suddenly trailed off.
He stared wide-eyed at the brand-new opening sequehat appeared on the s, different from the familiar "STAND PROUD" intro.
And then...
"'The Fool' Iggy and 'Geb' N'Doul? ...Wait! Geb!?"
Staring at the itle dispyed after the new opening, now showing iest episode of "Stardust Crusaders," Sora was shocked!
What was this!?
Sora widened his eyes and turo Shiro.
She, too, without a doubt, was looking back at him, listening to his whispered mutterings.
"I remember that name..."
…
"So that's how it is! It's not Tarot cards, nor is it the same as choosing Stand names from famous bands or song albums like we do. Instead, they've tinued with the Tarot theme, but used the Nine Glods of Egypt as a new naming vention, haven't they?"
Though the audition had been successful.
After all, "Stardust Crusaders" hadn't begun filmi.
Kishibe Rohan had plenty of free time, which he used to tig films, expanding his knowledge of the world and preparing for the uping shoot.
In this situation, it was only natural that he would have thoughts simir to Cujoh's and express admiration for "Stardust Crusaders" decision, exg, "I have to say, it's incredibly bold and imaginative!"
Rohan was also aware of the theory that Tarot cards inated from Egypt's Nine Glods.
In fact, as a form of divination with a long history, there are various legends and theories about the ins of Tarot cards.
The theory about the Nine Glods is just one among many.
If all these ins were sidered, Green Dolphin Studios certainly wouldn't have to worry about running out of Tarot cards.
But the most important thing is—this is about the Nine Glods!
It's not just that Egyptian mythology has a long history.
After all, for people who areian or haven't studied Egyptian culture, just knowing Ra's Winged Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor, and Slifer the Sky Dragon is already quite impressive in terms of uandiian mythology.
But now, the story of Jotaro and the others has brought them to Egypt in "Stardust Crusaders", hasn't it?
Egypt and the Nine Glods—what could be more fitting to repce the previous Tarot card-based naming system for Stands!?
Not to mention, there's even a theory that Tarot cards inate from the Nine Glods.
This almost seems like a perfect way to subtly and quickly shift the audience from the Tarot card Stand naming system!
That's right, perhaps it's because he's a fellow creator.
Kishibe Rohan had a lot of thoughts about the straion Cujoh Jolyne had specifically marked on the audition application.
And almost ah a bit of intelligence could guess that this straion was likely reted to Stands, sihe limited number of Tarot cards was already apparent.
...At first, Kishibe Rohan couldn't quite figure out what it was all about.
Even though he guessed that this straion was likely reted to Stands, he couldn't uand why they would expose this hint so early.
Wasn't Green Dolphin Studios worried that the audience wouldn't accept it?
But now, looking at it.
This robably Cujoh Jolyrue purpose—
Packaging this information into the audition application, subtly allowing the audieo get used to it beforehand.
Even if they didn't accept it, it didn't matter.
After all, "Stardust Crusaders" hadn't reached that point in the plot yet.
So there was o worry about whether they could accept it or not.
And by the time "Stardust Crusaders" plot advao the point where Jotaro and the others finally arrived i—
With the number of Tarot Stand users reduced to just one card, aside from DIO—
The question would be: should the story of "Stardust Crusaders" end there?
Or, after preparing the audience psychologically from the start, should the Stand naming system expand beyond Tarot cards to include somethied to Egypt and even the Nine Glods ected to Tarot cards?
For true fans of "Stardust Crusaders", they wouldn't eveo make a choice—they would instinctively know the answer!
And ohey've accepted oand namihod beyond Tarot cards,
Whether it's the Nine Glods, which are somewhat reted to Tarot, or band names and song albums that have no e to Tarot, it wouldn't be a problem.
This would allow audiences who were used to Tarot-based naming to more easily accept a new naming vention for Stands in Diamond is Unbreakable!
And for Cujoh Jolyo e up with such a clever solution to the audience's psychological hurdle—
She really is...
At this moment, tless viewers and even industry professionals who had realized the same thing saw how such a major shift iting, which would typically cause signifit problems in other works, not only didn't appear in "Stardust Crusaders" but was instead praised by audiences who felt the ge iing was amazing.
Seeing these reas, they couldn't help but feel a deep sense of admiration for Cujoh Jolyne, who robably at home, sound asleep, just waiting to be surprised by the impact this ge in "Stardust Crusaders" would bring the day.
"Amazing!!"
