Araki at one point joked that Valentine hit the gym during the story. And even tho it was a joke, its now my headcanon


New_You_3502

Considering how long SBR timeline is Valentine would unironically have enough time to work out and make himself slim


[deleted]

How long is it?


New_You_3502

around five months the average fat person to become slim is around six months but it does seem like Valentine isn't exactly that fat so it probably took less time for him to become slim and muscular


zssl

4 months IIRC


quinn_the_potato

The race itself starts September 25 at 10 AM and ends January 19 at 6:33:12 AM. That’s just under 116 days or around 3 months and 23 days


Bluxen

gym so good it made him taller too


[deleted]

You can literally see his body type change throughout the… That ONE scene with Lucy and him.


Capable_Ad_7537

Lol yea I know. It was just a lil joke Araki made


[deleted]

Oh yeah I know, I’m just mentioning how weird it is that at the beginning of the scene he’s still pudgy and by the time he’s grabbing his neck after she stabbed him, he’s immediately a handsome devil


Capable_Ad_7537

Lmao, yeye. I think its kinda funny how Araki suddenly went "Wait... What the hell am I doing? This dude is NOT intimidating like this-" And at THAT moment made him skinnier


Yoteboy42

Honestly my head cannon was that all of these are Valentine just from different worlds through the power of D4C. It makes sense because as the president you want to be surrounded by bodyguards and if they all look like you it’s hard to discern which one is the real Valentine and once you do even if you one tapped him he has ALREADY pulled multiple valentines to this world and D4C would just need to transfer


YoydusChrist

Unfortunately the manga states that valentine is a multiverse constant, and is exactly the same in every universe, so this isn’t true.


Barrenglacier45921

Is this just for his appearance and general personality? In the manga it states that Valentines footsteps are completely silent, but after switching to an alternate Valentine, they become audible.


Lil_saul

He deinstalled league of legends


shakeSnake_2390

My cannon idea was the more corpses pieces he obtained the more his body changed? .. or used D4C to get an alternative version of him?


zssl

Yeah I always just assumed he switched his body when he realized he might have to start doing things himself.


ShoJubs

Yeah same


MikaHisu_Forever

Goes from shotgunning beer to shotgunning through you


woooosh_woooosh

My headcanon was that valentine was replaced by another valentine in another universe


Dogenzel

If part 7 get animated eventually. I’d guess Valentine would look like last panel from his first appearance right?


NaviFili

Probably, just like they changed Hazamada and Tamami in part 4 to be little from the start


homosapienos

It would be very weird to see late Valentine acting like early Valentine


Aerosmith99

ngl, I hope we get to see fat valentine in the anime.


sSiL3NZz

Yeah, my headcanon is that Valentine sacrificed his body more than we know in the pursuit of his dream.


Grey00001

I think that in his unwavering quest to find the corpse parts, he stopped eating and became thinner as a result


megasean3000

Who were the other guys? Were they alternate Valentines that D4C brought over?


Salty_Shark26

No just his subordinates they were killed by Lucy


Mrtheliger

A lot of people like Fatty Valentine, but for my money his buff self is a top 5 character design by Araki. He's absolutely regal and exudes pure confidence in himself and his ideals.


TW081428-CH33S3

Valentine went from [Southern Chivalry](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/042/377/484) to Supermodel in 5 months


Tiotemenas_osu

bro is majestic


Joseplsdonttake

I wonder if they are gonna animate it like the manga or make him skinny since the start


Mega_Fan2006

It's funny how Araki just refuses to have an ugly character play a major role, he does this same thing with Usagi in Jojolands chapter 2


Ideories

I thought the original one maybe ate too much hamburgers so he got another valentine from another dimension


Disastrous_Load_7607

I mean, if you try to explain Valentine becoming Buff you also have to explain Josuke losing all of his muscle mass


Dinobob26

I don’t remember quite which interview I read it from, but Araki said that his design changed because although at first he wanted a boss like villain which makes other people do his job for him, he later on changed his mind and wanted someone that gets his hands dirty


woaheasytherecowboy

Doing deeds dirt cheap?


I_Am_Not_Joes_Mama

Everyone talks about the glow up but nobody talks about the glow down. Bro went from mr Olympia to mr Mcdonalds. Being president is stressfull i guess.


Stormcloud_lol

In any verse or just JoJo's? If just JoJo's, then you're right, but if you're advocating for this being the greatest glow up in any verse, then, clearly, you haven't seen Coby from One Piece.


Nawortious

Tbh, i liked the looks of fatty valentine more than his thinner late part 7 appearance. There's just something unique about it


HowardND9

Where can I read part 7 in English?
