I was a little scant in my post about Stage 9: ARAKI, and I apologize profusely for that. I was under the impression that you could only play if you had managed to pass into Stage 9 either from playing all the previous Stages or getting ten points in Stage 8: QUIZ. Turns out that isn’t the case:
Attention! In this stage 2 people will win and get the award, namely “The Champion of the JOJO ROYALE” and “The Stage Winner”.
The case is that you are only eligible to win the Steel Ball Run Trophy and autographed JOJOveller Deluxe Edition if you have been playing up until this point. Anyone can still play in Stage 9 and win the 25 Years of JOJO Panel autographed by Araki. Since we can all play, let’s go over the rules.
Like Araki explained in his video, you have you guess the order of the eight JoJo’s protagonists from top left to bottom right of the above image. The idea is to mentally link yourself with Araki’s creative process so you can understand how he would arrange them. You submit your answer to the Google+ page linked here by number. For example: Let’s say I think the order is “Josuke, Johnny, Joseph, Jotaro, Giorno, Jolyne, Johnathan, JoJolion Josuke.” I would submit my answer as 47235618. At the end of the Stage, the order will be revealed and scores will be tallied based on how close a guess was to the correct answer. Again, for example: Let’s say the actual order is “Josuke, Giorno, Joseph, Jotaro, JoJolion Josuke, Johnny, Johnathan, Jolyne” or 45238716. My guess correctly placed 5 of them, so I would get 5 points. You cannot submit invalid guesses, these being guessing less than eight numbers, like 4723561, or having repeated numbers, like 47233561. You can only answer once, but you can revise if you see your original post has an error.
You have a whole month to think about it. The deadline for guesses is April 23 8PM, Japanese Standard Time. Turn your psychic tuner to Araki’s frequency or maybe see if you can get Terrence’s phone number. Good luck with your guesses.
