JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Cosplay Swims in The Stone Ocean With Anasui

The Stone Ocean’s Jolyne Cujoh wasn’t alone in her fight against Pucci and one cosplayer has honored the one of the Joestar’s greatest allies.

The Stone Ocean didn’t just introduce anime fans to the daughter of Stardust Crusader star, Jotaro Kujo, but it also brought in some wild characters and Stands into the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure franchise. Narcisco Anasui didn’t just have a secret love for Jolyne, but also had a Stand of his own that helped him to survive the events of the Stone Ocean…sort of. Now, one cosplayer has brought back the man who went into battles with his Stand, Diver Down, and had one of the wildest fashion styles of the franchise.

While Anasui’s love of Jolyne wasn’t reciprocated in much of the Stone Ocean’s story, things would change thanks in part to how this JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure entry ended. Thanks to Pucci re-writing the universe, the only way to put an end to his plan was to effectively create a new reality. The original iterations of the characters that were introduced during the Stone Ocean were killed in the final battle, but the young Stand user Emporio was able to defeat Pucci and create a new universe in the process. Transforming Jolyne into “Irene”, she had a relationship with the new Anasui and thus JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure became that much stranger. 

Narciso Anasui Stands Tall

While Anasui hasn’t appeared since the final installment of the Stone Ocean, creator Hirohiko Araki hasn’t been shy about bringing back old characters to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. In The JOJOLAnds, Diamond Is Unbreakable’s Kishibe Rohan made a return appearance to be a part of Jodio and Dragona’s story. The franchise has also seen old fan-favorite come back in new short stories, meaning it’s possible that Narciso makes a comeback at

Exodus Was To Be the Ultimate Tricked-Out Travel Trailer but Vanished Without a Trace

Some travel trailers seek to be your go-to solution no matter the weather,  and others, no matter the terrain. However, every once in a while, a camper pops up that seeks to redefine the way we travel around the world. Well, that was supposed to be the story when it came to the Exodus.

Ladies and gents, if you ever make it across Exodus Rigs’ website, you’ll lock eyes with what can be considered one of the most modern, sleek, and off-road-worthy single-axle travel trailers around. Then, a pop-up will prompt you to “receive updates” for this unit’s launch, but the fine print states something that just destroyed my day: “Available for your adventures Spring 2023!” Either this is a typo, or simply put, what could have been one of North America’s towable camper of the year never made it off the ground. Shame, really, so let’s see what we missed out on.

Now, the Exodus has a whole lot going on, so to make things simple to understand, let’s begin with that shapeshifting exterior and work out way in. For starters, Exodus was meant to be crafted out of nothing more than an aluminum chassis upon which a TransCore Panel shell is brought to life. All that’s then set on an axleless air suspension with 12 inches (30 cm) of travel and auto-leveling, and once AT tires are added, we’d be looking at a rather promising mobile home.

Part two of the story is the way this unit was meant to be the habitat of your dreams. Once you finally arrive at your destination, be it a trailer park or the middle of nowhere – this one was supposed to be equipped for serious off-grid living – the Exodus you

‘Ted Lasso’ actor from Detroit says NFL Draft visitors should visit these spots

DETROIT – He’s a proud Detroit native who has been spotted at recent Lions playoff games. “Ted Lasso” Emmy-Award winning actor and comedian, Sam Richardson, has teamed with Pure Michigan to show NFL Draft attendees some of his favorite places to visit while in the city.

As many as half a million people are expected to flock to Detroit from all over the country for the NFL Draft, which is being held in downtown Detroit for the first time ever. The Draft takes place from Thursday, April 25 through Saturday, April 27.

Richardson, who you also know from “Veep,” “Detroiters” and “I Think You Should Leave,” recommends visitors check out places like Planet Ant Theatre, where he got his start in comedy, the Fowling Warehouse, the record shop Paramita Sound, the iconic Lafayette Coney Island, and Hot Sam’s, the oldest men’s clothing store in downtown Detroit.

“Detroit is where I grew up, where I started my professional career, where my family lives, and home to the best sports franchises in the country,” said Richardson. “Getting the opportunity to show off some of my favorite hangouts and share what this city means to me has been an amazing experience. Oh, and hanging out with one of my all-time sports heroes was also pretty epic.”

“What so many people get wrong about Detroit is its enduring global influence; people call it the Motor City, but it’s so much more,” said Claude Molinari, President & CEO at Visit Detroit. “From music and culture, to art and architecture, food and innovation, Detroit has a style that continues to influence the world. This campaign offers a glimpse of that through the eyes of iconic Detroiters, and we hope visitors will experience it for themselves around the draft and beyond.”

These Lavish Puerto Rican Hotels Are Working To Preserve El Yunque

Famed for its towering mountains and pristine beaches, the island of Puerto Rico offers a spectacular array of natural destinations to explore all within its boundaries, yet when it comes to true splendor, it’s tough to beat El Yunque National Forest. This sprawling green space measures in at just over 115 square kilometers, with a massive array of native birds, amphibians and insects calling the region home. Given the region’s diversity of wildlife and strong cultural significance within Puerto Rico’s indigenous Taíno culture, preserving the flora, fauna and landscapes found throughout El Yunque is of utmost importance—and fortunately, some of the island’s top organizations have united in hopes of accomplishing just that.

In an effort to bolster conservation efforts across the forest, two of Puerto Rico’s Wyndham properties—the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Rainforest, Beach and Golf Resort and the Wyndham Palmas Beach and Golf Resort—have entered into a partnership with the Friends of El Yunque Foundation, a Puerto Rican nonprofit that operates in tandem with the United States Forest Service to bolster tourism within the rainforest. The union offers the opportunity for guests to pledge $1 to the organization with each stay at either hotel, and upon entering this partnership, Friends of El Yunque has the potential to receive $350,000 annually, with proceeds going to expand conservation-driven tourism development as well as programs for the local youth—a projection that the Wydham Rio Mar’s staff are all too happy to hear.

“El Yunque, Puerto Rico’s natural treasure, feeds Rio Mar’s glistening coasts with bountiful water, nutrients, history, geological marvels and wildlife
