This two are from the Sonic franchise: -In Archie Sonic the hedgehog #270, the off panel portraits Knuckles as Jotaro Kujo and Sonic as Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star with a cameo of El Grand Gordo of the Sonic X comics (Knuckles saying the famous quote from the end of the battle with DIO and the Ora's ) and is related to the plot of that comic. -In IDW Sonic #32 one of the panels resembles the famous panel meme of Jotaro and DIO (with Sonic and Eggman respectevly)
I’m curious if there is a way to experience the Jojo story by experiencing each part of JoJo in a different medium (part 5 video game, live action part 4, part 3 ova, etc.). Would be interesting to see a video taking about how viewing the series this way would seem and how long it would take. Great Video, love your stuff and keep it up!
By the way, the fan letter of Straizo has a part of the fan saying "Sensei you dummie", the "dummie" in Japanese is バカ(Baka), but she write it wrong so it came out as カバ(Kaba), and カバ just so happend to mean hippo in Japanese
“Dude, did you see that Araki is making a 9th part for The Strange Adventures of Jojo?” “Yeah! I hope it’s similar to Joseph Joestar, His Youth. Although it’d be neat to see a character similar to Joseph when he was as old in Heritage for the Future!”
I mean, strange adventures of jojo is just a synonym way of saying jojo’s bizarre adventures, strange and bizarre mean the same, only the tone is different. This one is actually an overused joke in my language, translating “bizarre” as “strange” and calling it something like strange travels of yoyo (you can transliterate jojo as yoyo in my language).
the part titles not being original makes so much sense in retrospect. They're almost too well-worded and awesome to have been a consistent effort over decades - makes a lot more sense that Araki named them all at once, with theming in mind.
Another fun Dark Souls JoJo fact In Dark Souls 3, there's a boss named Pontiff Sulyvahn who in his second phase summons a phantom copy of himself. In the files, this copy is referred to as his Stand. There's a video about it on Zullie the Witch's channel. They do a lot of file digging in the Souls games.
The Straizo letter is definitely the best fact here, hearing about a JoJo meme that's become shrouded in obscurity, and not one of the dozens that have become so overexposed and done to death is super interesting.
I wouldn't call it "shrouded in obscurity", I think most Japanese fans of the series know about it. I don't read or watch Jojo (I just like the video games) and I've heard about it from my Japanese acquaintances.
As a Muslim I think its such a shame that Islamic references were taken out of JoJo. They are in Egypt so its pretty likely that would fight next to a mosque. Also I absolutely LOVE that DIO is reading a Quran, he's looking for a way to go to Heaven so of course he's exploring Religious texts to see if he needs to include religious aspects in order to achieve his goals.
I feel like even if Araki didn't have the idea for the Heaven goal yet, it would still make sense. Dio has been commonly portrayed as an intellectual with classy tastes, so it would make sense for him to read older books to showcase how smart/cultured he is. But because it's Egypt, as you mentioned, it's a pretty relevant go-to text for that type of purpose.
It's one of those times where censorship just doesn't make any sense. It's showing accurate Egyptian culture but they decided to get offended for what? Is it against the religion to show those things in media? It feels like an overreaction. It's like they think people reading it would instantly see those things as negative and not understand any sort of nuance.
@@amuro9624 To play Devil's advocate for a moment, this is a character that is noted to be pure evil. While I don't think the censorship was good, it is worth noting that some people might be offended by having their religion represented by someone like Dio.
That little part 6 Jotaro and Leon Kennedy connection is not the first time Resident Evil has been connected to JoJo. Joseph Frost, the guy killed by zombie dogs in the opening of the first game, was actually named after Joseph Joestar, from Battle Tendency. This would continue into Resident Evil 2 and 3 where a locker labeled JoJo appears in the RPD station, likely belonging to Joseph Frost.
Fun fact : The crusaders never knew that they were attacked by oingo Boingo brothers. So they mistook Vanilla Ice and Kenny G as a part of 9 glory Gods.
@@solunarus8761 yes? they may not have known his name, but Avdol, Polnareff and Iggy totally saw Kenny G fall out of the pillar and his stand disappeared
That PS2 game is such a bottomless well of trivia. It's the most effort ever put into absolute dogshit. There are TWO SPEEDWAGONS! The *chief from the cold open* is playable.
@@CoolManCoolMan123 If you don't consider the Golden Wind game released in 2002, perhaps, but even by 2006 the Phantom Blood game is outdated vissualy, i can say it at least plays better and is more balanced then Golden Wind game but thats to be expected and in many areas its still of the same quality, just made later.
The reason why the straizo fangirl called Araki a hippo, is because hippo (かば）has the reverse order of letters as idiot (ばか）I'm not exactly sure what the cultural implications of calling someone a hippo is, but maybe Araki was this close to becoming an oppih in her eyes...
I think she may've just been trying to be cute, like a slight nod to her not actually hating Araki for killing off Straizo. I've seen people "reverse" titles before (paisen, nodo) for no real reason other then to add a layer of familiarity with them. although it is odd that she chooses to be chummy with Araki in such a scenario...
9:29 If JoJo can have child stand users, ancient vampires, a 15 with wild biological knowledge, and rats with stands, I think a big rat living near the middle east is the least crazy thing.
I like that things get progressively more bizarre for the series to the point that, by the time Part 6 is nearing the end, hardly anyone cares or mentions anything after it happens because "Meh, it's Florida."
8:20 Interesting thing about the manga redraw due to Islamic censorship is that it was in 2008, during SBR run so Araki redrawn DIO in his part 7 art style, obviously if you compare the original panels and the redrawn one, DIO has different body styles.
In Devil May Cry 1, the enemies called "Nobody"s (which also appear in DMC 5) use stone masks to change form and fighting style. It has been confirmed by Hideki Kamiya who directed DMC1, that they were inspired from the stone masks in Jojo's. Theres countless other JoJo references in DMC too.
The 77 Rings connection is actually really cool, really cool idea to include these obscure characters. Also that fan letter and your nonchalant reading of it are hilarious.
6:20 I’ve never thought that homon beat picks up this letter from Japanese tankoubon. I saw this in tankoubon at 1988. After many decades past, I knew this letter became so famous in Japanese Jojo fans. I feel so fun to be picked up and to let know such letter to jojo fans in overseas. This would be a great surprise for Japanese Jojo fans.
Fun fact:in the game terraria,the stardust armor summons a blue muscular golden armored being named the”stardust guardian”,which attacks enemies by throwing rapid punches,everything from the name,and the concept alone is a reference to stardust crusades and star platinum
before terraria update 1.4, the Stardust armor didnt do rapid punches, but instead 1 punch. He was supposed to be a reference to another thing but was changed after jojo fans misunderstood
Now that you label it that way, I have reason to say that the summoner class is a jojo reference , summoners just summon their colony stands (since most summons are individual summons, only difference I know of is the stardust dragon being a single summon that gets longer the more summon slots you have.)
4:09 Also, I don't know if this is only a coincidence or maybe inspired a bit of the naming in Fire Emblem, the other three people who have completed the 77 rings challenge are called "Winsoloe, the Lion King", "Ikeman" and "Kaynegis" which are preeetty related to the names of two characters in Fire Emblem Path of Radiance. "Ikeman" being closely related to "Ike", the main protagonist and "Kaynegis" being closely related to "Caineghis", who is also called "Gallia's Lion King". Again, I don't know if this has inspired the names of these characters or is it just a coincidence, but I found it funny to see those 3 names together.
More people need to be aware of Voodoo Kingdom. Whatever went wrong with the theatrical adaptation of Phantom Blood, it was worth it to get one of the most legendary Dio theme songs ever.
I’d kind of like to see a video sometime about the flow of time in JoJo’s, namely how the anime adaptation can be somewhat deceptive. People meme about moments like Dio escaping into the coffin or Jotaro stuffing his clothes full of books, and claim that there simply wasn’t enough time, when the reality is that the flow of time is more ambiguous in manga form.
The Castlevania series of games has many references to jojo, the stone mask is a reoccurring item and a boss named zephyr has the looks, abilities and personality of DIO.
That Straizo letter is hilarious, adorable and kind of creepy lol. But then again it's an amazing series so I can't blame anyone for getting attached to the characters.
Yeah, I have a simple fact. Did you know that Marco d'Ambrosio, the guy who did the music score for Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, was involved with JoJo? He composed the music for the Stardust Crusaders OVA.
In Pokemon XY, episode 57: "Vanipeti Panic! Left Cold by a Whiteout!", Ash and co. are fighting Team Rocket for the umpteenth time, and after Ash ordered his Pikachu to attack, Team Rocket's Meowth says, in the Japanese dub, "Muda-nyan, muda-nyan, muda-nyan!", referencing Dio's Muda-Muda-Muda. To add epicness to the scene, the Scratchcat Pokemon does poses as well that reference Dio's Wryyyy in Heritage for the Future , Jotaro's stance from volume 13 and Jonathan's stance from volume 4 of the Jojo Manga
Since the Pillar Men are ancient Aztecs its safe to assume that the J in the The Red Stone of Aja would be pronounced as an H, making it "The Red Stone of A-Ha". Like the band, A-Ha, who did Take On Me.
@@ChiefShibaInu It's unlikely tbh, due to the sheer amount of manga that exist before DiU even started in the early 90's. The trope has existed in Japanese literature since before manga was even a thing, so the likelihood that Yukako was somehow the first is just not a conclusive statement. Just because one character became a popular version of an archetype in a medium doesn't make them the first one. Haman Karn from Gundam predates Yukako, with the manga for the Zeta and ZZ Gundam series being serialized from 1985-1987. And that's just another example of a *popular* version of a yandere character. We don't even know if she would be considered the first one in manga either, but we can say that she is one of the earliest depictions of a yandere that has influenced many after her, just like Yukako has.
@@ChiefShibaInu Yukako Yamagishi is NOT the first yandere archetype to appear in manga or even Shounen manga, but she is certainly the character that boosted the type to mainstream popularity since the arc came when JoJo's was really popular at the time, coming off of the heels of Stardust Crusaders
Under any other circumstance I'd be criticizing the censorship in the official Stone Ocean chapter releases but- I'll be honest and say it was probably the right call here. I'm sure Araki didn't mean anything by it but that panel looks *really* bad.
Yeah the shading or whatever seems really out of place, don't know * what's racist about * the banana though, and frankly, I don't want to know. *edit for clarification
whenever i need a channel to fall asleep or chill to, I always see of hamon beat has a new video. Not because they are boring, but because he has a calm voice and his videos are usually very interesting. Hamon beat makes good videos.
Oh and one last thing for the JoJo and Resident Evil connection. In 1998 Capcom were releasing Heritage for the Future and that same year they were doing RE2 and so to cross reference their games there's a locker in the RPDs western officers belonging to a "JoJo" and funnily enough they kept this extremely obscure easter egg for RE3 and the 2019 RE2 remake. Not very deep but it is the most direct connection between both franchises.
12:05 D. C. Douglas, who voiced Kira in the English dub for JoJo, also voiced Wesker in a couple Resident Evil games. So there's another connection lol. (Also Matthew Mercer is literally everywhere 😭 dude even voiced a Fortnite character)
11:09 Fun fact: a few actors from Takashi Shimizu’s Ju-On series also make an appearance in Kill Bill. Chiaki Kuriyaka played Mizuho Tamura in Ju-On: The Curse (2000) and also portrayed Takako Chigusa in the film Battle Royal (2000)…Yoji Tanaka who starred as Yuji Toyama in Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) also makes an appearance in Kill Bill Vol 1 (2003) as another one of the Crazy 88 Members as well…
The stand names, all being song and band names (and tarot cards, Egyptian gods) plus the fact that the parts had no titles or lame titles (lol part 4) just goes to prove that araki really really sucks at naming - when he can basically produce some of the best characters and complex stand abilities
2:55 another fun fact: Did you know that bruford is actually named after Bill Bruford - drummer and percussionist of King Crimson(the legendary (in my opinion) band who diavolo's stand is named after) and Yes (the band behind the first jojo outro- roundabout)?
Some JoJo influences on other games include The King of Fighters Benimaru takes heavy inspiration from Polnareff, from appearance, his chivalrous attitude and his love of women Leona has moves that reference JoJo, her "Heart Attack" is an explosive earring that she can detonate, and her desperation move "Grateful Dead" is a grab that drains the enemy's Life
I noticed that Donatello in part 6 had the exact same backstory as Stanley Yelnats in Holes, with being punished because people didn't believe a pair of shoes literally just fell on his head, even though it is what happened.
“It’s Straizo time!” The amount of thoughts scouring my mind in this moment is mainly boiled down to the fact that “it’s Morbin time” had been around since the late 80s
i miss flash player. i remember that yukako fact(was along with the jump crossovers/previews for heritage of the future on capcom friendly club how i got introduced to jojo.) & the ova dio reading the book issue,love voodoo kingdom(especially a remix music video for voodoo kingdom with eyes of heaven.:3) as well as soul'd out's other music(i remember videos of the parts to their music with my favorite being part 3,4,6 & 7 as it fits those parts really well.) and leon teaming up with the crusaders sounds awesome.

Well an important thing to remember with the big rat change is that Araki had no say, because the big rat makes all the rules.
Yeah, I have a simple fact. Did you know that Marco d'Ambrosio, the guy who did the music score for Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, was involved with JoJo? He composed the music for the Stardust Crusaders OVA.
In Pokemon XY, episode 57: "Vanipeti Panic! Left Cold by a Whiteout!", Ash and co. are fighting Team Rocket for the umpteenth time, and after Ash ordered his Pikachu to attack, Team Rocket's Meowth says, in the Japanese dub, "Muda-nyan, muda-nyan, muda-nyan!", referencing Dio's Muda-Muda-Muda. To add epicness to the scene, the Scratchcat Pokemon does poses as well that reference Dio's Wryyyy in Heritage for the Future , Jotaro's stance from volume 13 and Jonathan's stance from volume 4 of the Jojo Manga
Hamon beat isn't a Jojo fan, he's a Jojo archeologist
Since the Pillar Men are ancient Aztecs its safe to assume that the J in the The Red Stone of Aja would be pronounced as an H, making it "The Red Stone of A-Ha".
Like the band, A-Ha, who did Take On Me.
HOL UP
Can't wait for Hamon Beat Fun Facts
Thanks for the fun Jojo facts. Great series
I alrady know you aint watch thr video yet
Dam this man is a legend
He posts almost every day and has good content,and people who have never seen jjba will probably get an interest in jjba
Have you covered the fact that Yukako was the first Yandere ever introduced in manga? It’s probably a bit obvious but I wanted to ask.
Really? I never knew. Wild
I don't know if she is the first, but she is definitely one of the earliest depictions of the trope that has inspired other characters later on.
@@johnwise9811 no she is the first
@@ChiefShibaInu It's unlikely tbh, due to the sheer amount of manga that exist before DiU even started in the early 90's. The trope has existed in Japanese literature since before manga was even a thing, so the likelihood that Yukako was somehow the first is just not a conclusive statement. Just because one character became a popular version of an archetype in a medium doesn't make them the first one.
Haman Karn from Gundam predates Yukako, with the manga for the Zeta and ZZ Gundam series being serialized from 1985-1987. And that's just another example of a *popular* version of a yandere character. We don't even know if she would be considered the first one in manga either, but we can say that she is one of the earliest depictions of a yandere that has influenced many after her, just like Yukako has.
@@ChiefShibaInu Yukako Yamagishi is NOT the first yandere archetype to appear in manga or even Shounen manga, but she is certainly the character that boosted the type to mainstream popularity since the arc came when JoJo's was really popular at the time, coming off of the heels of Stardust Crusaders
you didn't need to read the "Aaaaaah", "Uuurgh", "hmph!" part but you just made my day anyway
There actually is a reference to Soul’d Out in the part 6 op. On the prison wall there is graffiti that says catwalk, a reference to one of the album
Thank you for including a Fun Fun Fun fact in your video about JoJo Fun Facts.
It is a Fun Fun Fun Fun Fact then
Under any other circumstance I'd be criticizing the censorship in the official Stone Ocean chapter releases but-
I'll be honest and say it was probably the right call here. I'm sure Araki didn't mean anything by it but that panel looks *really* bad.
Yeah, it really looks like Araki just used too much ink there and didn't bother to remove it so he kept it there
Yeah the shading or whatever seems really out of place, don't know * what's racist about * the banana though, and frankly, I don't want to know.
*edit for clarification
@@Serg_El_EspantaViejas All the prisoners had bananas with their meals in the scene. I highly doubt it was in any way racially motivated.
@@yambear7100 I meant that I don't know what's racist about bananas.
@@Serg_El_EspantaViejas it's racist for men who don't have bananas with ther eggs. :P
Did they make a Suto-sama doujin and fan club tho?
I would have loved to join it
I'm excited to watch this video thanks for the good upload schedule
so… magenta magenta is a jojo reference and a music reference at the same time? lmao that’s incredible
Did you know that Mathew Mercer (played Jotaro in english), played macreedy from overwatch, and macreedy's japanese va played jotaro in the ova.
Classy trivia and it's crazy that these facts were so unknown
Stories abound bands and araki interactions are so sweet! Made my day
Talk about the bad translation in Jojo including the duwang scans
whenever i need a channel to fall asleep or chill to, I always see of hamon beat has a new video. Not because they are boring, but because he has a calm voice and his videos are usually very interesting. Hamon beat makes good videos.
I'd heard legends of the Straizo Fangirl Letter but this is my first time seeing the whole thing, it's amazing 😂
bro araki being going crazy with all these bands
Oh and one last thing for the JoJo and Resident Evil connection. In 1998 Capcom were releasing Heritage for the Future and that same year they were doing RE2 and so to cross reference their games there's a locker in the RPDs western officers belonging to a "JoJo" and funnily enough they kept this extremely obscure easter egg for RE3 and the 2019 RE2 remake.
Not very deep but it is the most direct connection between both franchises.
12:05 D. C. Douglas, who voiced Kira in the English dub for JoJo, also voiced Wesker in a couple Resident Evil games. So there's another connection lol. (Also Matthew Mercer is literally everywhere 😭 dude even voiced a Fortnite character)
Straits is a cool character, and one of my favorite minor ones from part 2, so I can understand the anger.
Lol
5:46 "its straizing time!"
Proceeds to straiz all over the place
0:59 I guess you could say… Araki Forgot
11:09 Fun fact: a few actors from Takashi Shimizu’s Ju-On series also make an appearance in Kill Bill. Chiaki Kuriyaka played Mizuho Tamura in Ju-On: The Curse (2000) and also portrayed Takako Chigusa in the film Battle Royal (2000)…Yoji Tanaka who starred as Yuji Toyama in Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) also makes an appearance in Kill Bill Vol 1 (2003) as another one of the Crazy 88 Members as well…
The stand names, all being song and band names (and tarot cards, Egyptian gods) plus the fact that the parts had no titles or lame titles (lol part 4) just goes to prove that araki really really sucks at naming - when he can basically produce some of the best characters and complex stand abilities
2:55 another fun fact: Did you know that bruford is actually named after Bill Bruford - drummer and percussionist of King Crimson(the legendary (in my opinion) band who diavolo's stand is named after) and Yes (the band behind the first jojo outro- roundabout)?
The special type of water Thrish wanted in the anime may have foreshadowed the return of pol.
I'm genuinely surprised at how much of this I didn't know, I thought I knew just about everything JoJo
W Araki for respecting others religions
The dark souls fact is cool I love that game and armour and it's from one of my favourite shows, nice
Dinner is about to be bussin tonight cause of this video
Some JoJo influences on other games include The King of Fighters
Benimaru takes heavy inspiration from Polnareff, from appearance, his chivalrous attitude and his love of women
Leona has moves that reference JoJo, her "Heart Attack" is an explosive earring that she can detonate, and her desperation move "Grateful Dead" is a grab that drains the enemy's Life
speaking of resident evil in the resident evil 2 remake theres a locker that you come across that says "jojo"
One of my favourite channels man
I noticed that Donatello in part 6 had the exact same backstory as Stanley Yelnats in Holes, with being punished because people didn't believe a pair of shoes literally just fell on his head, even though it is what happened.
that's donatello's backstory (one of dio's sons in part 6)
@@goddessaqua5022 gonna correct the comment, thanks! Completely slipped out of my mind
"A vampire reading a book might cause people to think of muslims as terrorists"
i... i don't think a manga is your biggest PR problem right now.
3:20 finally. Is that a jojo's reference and is that a darksouls reference finally meet. Their fight will be legendary
Sekiro has a jojo refference to
“It’s Straizo time!”
The amount of thoughts scouring my mind in this moment is mainly boiled down to the fact that “it’s Morbin time” had been around since the late 80s
It's kind of cool that the Parts were named after their JoJo, honestly.
lOVE these videos, definetly interesting to know more about my favorite anime/manga
i love this kind of videos from you
i miss flash player.
i remember that yukako fact(was along with the jump crossovers/previews for heritage of the future on capcom friendly club how i got introduced to jojo.) & the ova dio reading the book issue,love voodoo kingdom(especially a remix music video for voodoo kingdom with eyes of heaven.:3) as well as soul'd out's other music(i remember videos of the parts to their music with my favorite being part 3,4,6 & 7 as it fits those parts really well.) and leon teaming up with the crusaders sounds awesome.
