For @razielim’s Prompt This Week. 

The new Jojolands chapter was HEAVY. A lot of people are (rightfully) bringing up the SA, but what caught my attention moreso was the transphobic aspect. Dragona is clearly depicted as transitioned but not passing, and the way the rich girl demeaned them really hit close to home. Dragona was also referred to with a derogatory nickname, which, while not intended, did feel like a dead name when I read it. Note that I am NOT calling Araki transphobic for depicting transphobia - it's important to distinguish what the author personally believes and what issues they want to express.

While extremely dark, it does not go unpunished, thanks to tiny baby Jodio burning the assaulter horribly in a bus fire! What other people brought up that I agree with is that Dragona really needs to stand up for themself more. In a similar scene in the first chapter and in this one, Jodio was the one to swoop in and save them. Dragona's independence and personal perspective is the next logical step to take their character, which does have me more hopeful for a future chapter to go more into detail about it (WITHOUT ANY SA PLEASE ARAKI). Maybe it could be a chapter where Dragona talks to Usagi about it, who knows.

All that being said, I don't hate this chapter, far from it. I appreciate Araki seemingly taking this very seriously, although I do want him to change direction to focus on Dragona's personal thoughts on being trans, rather than the way the world perceives them. Also, it was cool seeing Dragona and Jodio's dad for the first time, albeit briefly

Kaiji faces his biggest challenge yet.
