JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken review
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Genesis of Universe is for all intents and purposes exactly what it says to be: another two short encounters to add to the "stand of the week" formula of Stardust Crusaders manga. It doesn't really enhance the story or the characters in any way, but if you're just looking for more JoJo anything, this will work as your fix.
As mentioned, thanks to the episodic formula of most of the plot of Stardust Crusaders, this novel doesn't have it hard to find a place on the timeline to fit in without disrupting the main story. The problem I have with it is that it doesn't really feal like it was intended to fit in it canonically and feels more as just a fanfiction or at best as something out of anthology collection. It's usually the Jorge Joestar novel that gets called a fanfiction, but contrary to this popular judgement of it I disagree - the style of it's plot and storytelling fits really well with the crazier later parts of JoJo and overall with a little tweaking you'd have no problem to include it in a canon. While having no problem including it in the canon is also true for Genesis of Universe, it doesn't fit that much with it's plot. It's mostly minor details, but stuff like the names of not being named after tarot and not being a music reference either seems really odd (although the JoJo wiki argues that Dark Mirage stand is a reference to Mirage song by Tommy James, I'd call that quite a reach and probably not intention of the author of this novel). The stand abilities are also a bit too complicated for the Part 3 standards, this too adding to the odd, not belonging feeling. And keep in mind that this novel got published only a year after Stardust Crusaders manga ended, so it's not like it got influenced by the more tricky powers shown in later parts. The fight themselves also feel less interesting than those showed in the main story, but it's understandable as action is harder to portray in entertaining way in novel form. On the other hand what I liked about it is that we get more of a backstory and information about motivations for the minor villains. Well, mainly for the first part, the villain of second part of this novel is more forgettable, but the first one even first one even got a description of how Dio earned his loyalty, which is information I always felt was missing with most of the regular minor villains from Part 3. Overall it's the weakest JoJo novel I've read, but it's still a nice read if you need more JoJo content while waiting for another chapter of Jojolion. |
