“If you could give one piece of advice to a large group of people, what would it be?”
“Just because you admire someone, doesn’t mean you have to try to be like them.”

JoJonium 3 - Hirohiko Araki Speaks About Character Creation - Di -
TL note: Sorry for the huge delay between the second and third installment (it was and is still convention season). It’s hard to fully convey how jovial Araki writes in these blurbs but it’s pretty funny so see him talking about serial killers in his usual playful tone.

JoJonium 2 - Hirohiko Araki Speaks About Character Creation -Ze -
TL note: part two of my series of translations of Araki’s musings on character creation. Part one (Jonathan Joestar) can be found here. I was blown away by the interest in the first part so I’ll keep on going! I also love reading everyone’s comments/tags.
