I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"Dio—I'm going to beat you until you cry!" Taking advantage of Dio's brief moment of unconsciousness, JOJO unleashed a barrage of punches on DIO's face.

"This...this...this kind of trash, what has become of my Dio—"

He sent Dio flying, blood splattering onto the stone mask on the wall. The next moment, to Jonathan's astonishment, the stone mask ejected bone claws and fell to the ground.

"How could...how could...how could he do this to me..." DIO in the scene said, tears streaming down his face, but he pulled out a small knife from behind his back and shouted, "You despicable bastard!!"

He let out a deep breath as he turned off the microphone. He was so tired... utterly exhausted...

Not only himself, but also Jonathan's voice actor was exhausted, you could tell just by listening to his voice.

However, this exhaustion perfectly matched Jonathan's state of mind at the time.

Jonathan is exhausted, both physically and mentally...

This puts us at a disadvantage... When comparing voice actors, you can immediately tell who's really into the role and who's just reading aloud.

But thankfully... there's still one last... one last sentence.

And these things don't require too much effort. In short... it's over.

The outcome now depends on the votes from the audience!

Chapter 167 Media Visit

"Hmm...it's not as good as I thought."

After the fifth group finished, Kurokawa Kazuya said, "There are still a few parts that don't sound quite right, but the climax was pretty good."

"Really? I feel fine," Ryougi Shiki said, puzzled.

“Is that so…” Kurokawa Kazuya nodded: “That’s a good reference as well.”

After all, he was comparing himself to Koyasu Takehito, who would have matured decades later, while the one he was now was just starting out.

Furthermore, when Takehito Koyasu voices the character later on, he won't be able to read it all in one go like he does now. If the current Takehito Koyasu happens to be different from the one in his memory, wouldn't that mean he hasn't improved at all?

But... it's okay, everyone else is in the same boat.

In his opinion, of the five voice actors portraying DIO that have appeared so far, Takehito Koyasu still gives him the best feeling...

Perhaps it's because I've heard the mature version of Takehito Koyasu's voice acting, and... the tone of Dio's voice in my dream is also Takehito Koyasu's version.

“But I’m already feeling a bit tired of it, it’s been five times already.” Ryougi Shiki stood up and said, “Hey, how about we go outside and take a look?”

“Alright, let’s go check out Stardust Crusaders this time.” Kurokawa Kazuya said with a smile, “Last time we were a bit rushed and didn’t have time to see the most exciting parts here.”

"Don't you still have parts that aren't open to the public? Have you started building them yet?" Ryougi Shiki asked.

"No, not yet. Those things will have to wait a bit longer. Anyway, these things won't change in the next few years, so there's no need to rush the rest. We can take it one step at a time."

......

"Phew... I'm exhausted." After leaving the recording studio, Takehito Koyasu sat wearily in a chair.

It's incredibly difficult to put in so much effort without taking a break, and he doesn't even know if he's made any mistakes.

For example, a clear instance of laughing during a break is manageable; you can pause, rewind slightly, and start over. But something like what happened to him is a bit more difficult. He can't afford to make even the slightest mistake, or he could be eliminated.

The audience doesn't care whether you're in good form or not. There are other opportunities, but now—you only get one chance.

Takehito Koyasu believed he had already given it his all, and even if he could do it all over again, he might not be able to reach the same level.

Next...

Now it depends on what the audience thinks.

"Are you... the voice of Dio number five?" Just then, a man who looked to be in his thirties walked over.

"Yes, who are you?" Takehito Koyasu asked in confusion.

"My name is Tsubasa Shioya, and I voice Jonas Joestar (number two) and Will A. Zeppeli (number sixteen)."

"Two?" Takehito Koyasu exclaimed in surprise, seizing on this key point.

“It’s simple. I wanted to voice Jonathan Joestar, but they said my voice was better suited for Will A. Zeppelin, so they let me try that too.” He shrugged. “If I fail as Jonathan, it’ll be good to voice Zeppelin. By the way, what’s your name?”

"Ah...right, my name is Takehito Koyasu. As you can see, I just finished voicing Dio Brando."

“Yeah… judging from the people outside, things are going well… and being so far ahead in the queue has its advantages.” Shioya Tsubasa sighed helplessly, “You were doing your voiceover around 2 PM, and it’s already 2:40 PM. If we want all twenty-odd groups to finish today, it will take until around 10 PM… and there might be fewer tourists then. That would be a disadvantage in terms of votes.”

"No... I don't think so." Takehito Koyasu took a sip of water and said, "Maybe they'll get tired of playing at night and come to see the final curtain fall before leaving. This amusement park can't be explored in just a few hours... I was already in a rush, and in a few hours I only saw a little bit of the 'Phantom Blood' and 'Battle Tide' sections. According to the map, the largest area should be the 'Stardust Crusaders' area."

"Is that so?" Shioya Tsubasa was a little surprised: "I didn't look carefully and just came straight here... Is this place really that nice?"

“Ah, that’s right…” Takehito Koyasu smiled. “I feel like I’d really regret it if I didn’t take the time to explore such a fantastic amusement park. I heard there are hotels here, so I’m planning to stay here tonight and have a good time tomorrow morning. No, maybe some places are even better at night…”

......

"So, as you can see, this is the [JOJO Theme Park]! It looks really big!" A woman holding a microphone said to the camera not far away.

"Yes, the crowds seem huge." Another man nearby said, looking around in surprise.

"So which way should we go?" The woman looked around, looking helpless, as if to say, "This place is too big."

"Let's go over there. I just asked some people who left, and quite a few said 'Stardust Crusaders' is amazing, and 'Hell's Pillar' is super cool. But even with VIP tickets, you have to wait in line for about an hour." The man gave me a knowing look.

The woman was so surprised that she seemed about to drop the microphone: "Huh? It'll take this long?"

"Yes, yes. I heard that you have to change clothes before you go in, and you can't bring any of your belongings with you. You have to change everything before you can go in, and then you change back when you come out." The man nodded helplessly.

“So that’s how it is there. But then again, if it’s really like what they say, it should be all oil. If someone brought a lighter or something and accidentally lit it, it would definitely cause a huge fire,” the woman said understandingly.

“That’s right—so time is limited, and it seems we don’t have that chance... Let’s go check out the Stardust Crusaders on the other side now.”

"Okay." The woman nodded excitedly. "Then let's hurry up and go."

"I've heard that going there once is like traveling to several countries abroad, experiencing the local customs and culture... supposedly very authentic. Of course, you have to see it for yourself to know for sure." He pointed to his eyes, "So let our cameras take you on a journey to see this park for those of you who haven't been here yet!"

Chapter 168 Selection

"How big is this place?" the female host asked, looking at the crowd around her.

"I heard it covers five or six square kilometers, and all the property owners here want to buy the houses next door."

"Wow, that's huge! It's five or six hundred hectares! More than ten times bigger than Tokyo Disneyland!" the woman exclaimed, seemingly in utter shock. But in reality... they had already been shocked before.

“Yes…” the man said earnestly, “This building cost billions of dollars to complete. I heard that the land alone cost more than a billion dollars. Although it’s not a place like Tokyo, and it’s a remote part of Morioh, it’s still huge.”

"So does that mean this is already the largest amusement park in all of Japan?" the female host exclaimed in shock.

“You’re right, this is indeed the largest amusement park in Japan, and maybe even the largest in the world! But... I didn’t check any information about it before I came, what a blunder!” The man pretended to be completely unaware and that he had come here by accident.

After all... they received the money.

cough cough.

Their goal was simple: to introduce the "Stardust Crusaders" amusement park to everyone. Compared to other places, although it was still an amusement park geared towards JOJO fans, it could be said to be the most friendly place for non-fans, since the local customs and culture there were authentic, and Kurokawa and Miya had invited people from various countries.

Among them, half of them didn't even know Japanese!

The purpose was to give them the feeling that they were actually abroad, and that the staff couldn't understand what they were saying...

This is indeed the largest amusement park in Japan, but it can't compare to any other park on a global scale.

It's still quite large, but it's hard to say it's the largest.

Even in this era, there were already amusement parks covering hundreds of square kilometers.

It's about the same size as the entire Morio town. Kurokawa Kazuya's money wasn't enough to buy Morio town, especially Morio town in this era.

You should know that land in Japan is extremely expensive these days.

For example, if you sold all of Tokyo at current housing prices, the money would be enough to buy the entire United States!

This is enough to show the housing prices in Japan at that time.

Kurokawa Kazuya is also waiting...

There are a few holdouts around this amusement park... but they're probably still holdouts for now.

When housing prices in Japan start to plummet, that's when you should make your move. If you don't make your move by then? Well, there's nothing we can do but send Kiritsugu Emiya on a trip. It's time for him to use his suggestion magic to prove himself.

A JOJO theme park of only about five square kilometers is not enough for him!

In other words...

That's enough for now.

......

"You've had a long day of fun..." Looking at the completely darkened lights, Ishibashi Tokie said, "Saeki-kun, who are you going to vote for?"

"My opinion?" Saeki Yasuhisa looked at the ballot in his hand, which had two creases, meaning it could vote for two people: "I think number three, Elena, is pretty good."

“I think Dior in number five looks really cool,” Ishibashi Tokie said. “How about this? Let’s vote for Elena in number three and Dior in number five… He’ll definitely look amazing if he actually gets on TV!”

“Yes, that’s right.” Saeki Yasutoshi nodded. “Let’s go, let’s go back after we finish voting.”

"Perfect timing, the voting is right at the exit."

......

"Morningmorningmorningmorning, Morioh-chouRadio (Morioh-chouRadio), WeloveMorioh-chou."

"Good morning! This is Morioh Radio. Today, I'm your friendly neighbor, Kaiharada. What a refreshing morning! As you all know, a major event recently occurred in Morioh. The 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure' theme park, created by manga artist Kazuya Kurokawa, officially opened yesterday! I wonder if everyone has been there? It's wonderful that such a fantastic park has come to Morioh. Now, I'll be presenting a song that will make everyone feel very proud. This morning's song is this one—"

"A JOJO theme park...that looks really good. I can go and visit it sometime."

In a hotel in Morioh, a woman who looked to be around twenty years old with dark red hair listened to the radio while picking up her glasses and saying, "But before that, I have something important to do, something important. I absolutely can't forget this... Well, it doesn't matter if I forget. Let's go see if he's in Morioh... If he is, I'll go see him; if not, never mind. Let's see... that so-called futuristic vision... I'm a little curious."

She was none other than the one who had recently been designated by the Mage Association to be sealed away...

Aozaki Touko.

Thinking about her assigned sealing mission, she sighed, "In the end, it's all because of that old man... I've heard all that, really..."

When the designated seal was obtained, her teacher's opinion was sought.

Her teacher had the right to deny it; that is, if her teacher simply said "no need," then she wouldn't need to be designated for sealing.
