OH! Even better: we steal one of their suits of armor that has the faceplate. That'll cover almost all of our body, and we can use Light Mode to protect what little isn't

[X] Yes, there might be something of note there.

Bwahaha! Pathetic, worthless human! Fumbling and scratching uselessly!

It really is
It's refreshing to be the unrepentant asshole, there's no redeeming quality here, he's a monster who'll torture you to death because he can or because you stepped on a snail.

Well that's new. Apparently Cars is a Japanese.

I always liked the way he said sayonara to Joseph before flying away and then getting blasted into space, so I decided to include that.

The downside in that are the eyeholes. Now, if we will get both the armor and some goggles...OH! Even better: we steal one of their suits of armor that has the faceplate. That'll cover almost all of our body, and we can use Light Mode to protect what little isn't

I prefer the... Commie subs, was it? I prefer the alternate sub where he says "Aeternum Vale, JoJo!" Well, considering the setting, I think it could work but I think Chinese would work better if you really must make it in another language.

Araki is Japanese and Kars is a well-traveled Aztec god of fitness.
I really don't think it matters who language the man feels like speaking.

Shrug, if you say so. It's just that the Avatar series is set in a Chinese-esque world, so I just question where the hell did the Japanese came from.
Did you just ask for things to make sense in a JJBA crossover?

If you find an ancient vampire that can speak more than one language so implausible, then you'll have a coronary over said vampire doing this:

Of course, people wouldn't understand that I'm speaking from internal narrative sense. First, the world of ATLA seems to primarily be China-based, and thus, I was under the impression that Japanese as a language does not exists. With that as the basis for my thoughts, I simply have to question as to how does Kars even speak a language that does not exist in the story's world - or at least one that I was under the impression of not existing, partially because of how the setting looked like and another because of how IRL the Japanese language descended from Chinese (or at least, the Kanjis does) but have a very different structure from it (again, aside from the Kanjis).
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, even in its ridiculous moments, still internally makes sense and often has some sort of justification for them happening, often rooted in loosely-applied science. But disregarding that, what I took issue with was how it didn't make sense internally with the setting and the story. That's what I have problem with, not that it was ridiculous for him to speak Japanese, or rather not for the fact that he has the ability speak it. I'm aware that the Pillar Men are genii that could learn languages in a snap and do other feats that are above mankind. What I am not aware of is that they could somehow speak of a language that does not exist. If you want to correct me, then just show that Japanese exists in the world of ATLA. I'm not that familiar with it, other than what I watched back when it was still airing in local TV (and that was a LONG time ago, so I really could use a refresher on it).
Am I speaking clear now?

I was under the impression that the Fire Nation had some Japanese elements to it, although I must confess that I can barely see the difference between the two.

I'm under the impression that the world, as a whole, has some Japanese elements on it, but I'm not sure where. But from what I recall, I think it was the posters. Hm... a cursory search leads to the wiki that points out that 'Kyoushi' uses Japanese Kanjis (or at least, more likely to use the Japanese meaning of the kanjis).
As for differences, it's mainly in the grammar. IF I recall correctly the language already exists long before Chinese influence made it into Japan, and then the writing system was then borrowed from it. A cursory wikipedia reading points that it's more or less correct (the earliest texts found in Japan was Chinese texts, preceding even the Kojiki).
So, it's a situation of cultural diffusion in which the Ancient Japanese is 'A', the Chinese is 'B', and the resulting language was 'AB', with a more detailed explanation that it's two different language not sharing the same root, but does borrows heavily from the letter for writings. As they don't even share the same root, it's... kind of hard for me to buy that the world had it as "ancient language preceding the current one". But there is Kyoushi at least, as well as the guy from the island named Oyaji (Old Man, in Japanese). It's there, but I'm not sure how does it ties to the rest of the world.
