I'm happy about anything Jojo's related coming out, but the worst part about this is that they probably know many fans would actually pay up to $80 for this. I'd appreciate it if I wouldn't get milked for my money but they've got me beat on this one. Who knows when the next Jojo's game will actually come out after this.

Oh thank god it seems the Kira DLC is just a palette Swap.Either for his second face or Deadman's Q?
I mean they just couldnt make one of the most iconic villains DLC,right?

Well I don't think Yoshikage Kira has actually been announced yet as a character. So I don't think it's a costume.

@15

I think Japan always have slightly more expensive games at launch. Then Europe, specifically the UK, then the US I find have the cheapest titles.

@2, Hirohiko Araki bases his entire manga from music and fashion. He tends to use female models.

And for those complaining about Kira being DLC, he is DLC for those that buy a brand new copy of the game. Meaning if you buy it used then you are probably going to buy him. Hopefully this means a release outside the US to fight off used game sales.

@6 Hey, I hadn't noticed. How cool is that?

And YES KILLER QUEEN. Kira is probably the only part of Part 4 that I liked xD. Ohh I can't wait.

I just need King Crimson now!

@16: Yeah, UK is hella cheap compaired to Sweden. Or maybe that's just because the Pound is weak in comparison to the SEK atm.

the better question is why you think it needs to be explained to begin with

His name's actually Josuke or "Gappy," Jojolion is the name of the series.

I can see maybe after the 3rd arc (though im not familiar with the 4th) bit the 1st 3 jojo's are all manly men about the size of 2 to 3 of your typical effeminate anime character. That ceaser is a smooth player.

@26: Part 4 JoJo is kind of a badass as well. After that, not so much. Then again, I'm only halfway through part 5.

Kinda weird that they're going to make him playable, he's still somewhat of a mystery in the manga.

and @2 this jojolion guy is beyond manly, he has 4 balls!

Eventscrubs in charge of googling their sources before making an article about it.

Jotaro will have the most amount of costumes XD lol! I hope they have alt colors because araki tends to color his characters in different trims
