Talk:List of cultural references and inspirations from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Related to the creation of an article references/influences of JoJo we currently have 3 different items! These are Jo Jo's References, List of cultural influences of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and List of cultural references in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Henceforth we will use only the 2 newly created, one for Influenced by JoJo(Influences) and the other references used in Jojo(References). I think the idea of two page instead of one is goog and is better than the sketch i originally made (With a more consistent name too). I take what remained of the old article and put it into influences. Please use these 2 articles and discuss the changes here.

Anyone else think that Zeno Zoldyck from Hunter x Hunter may be influenced by Wang Chan?

Here's Zeno

http://images.wikia.com/hunterxhunter/images/1/18/Zeno-1.jpg

Here's Wang

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091008191841/jjba/images/thumb/9/94/Wang_Chang.png/200px-Wang_Chang.png

Now of course they don't look EXACTLY alike and are rather easily distinguishable but there are quite a few similarities and I thought I remember hearing Togashi is a JoJo fan.

It is possible, though we have no external sources confirming it. To get by this, write that Zeno IS LIKELY to have been influenced by Wang Chan and mention that Togashi was a JJBA fan. This makes it "trivially correct"; we can also remove it later if proven otherwise. (We may have to be more careful with this one as Togashi hasn't exactly created "completely unoriginal" characters. Kishimoto's Kyuubi was named "Kurama" as a very likely homage to the character of the same name in YYH, though his reusing of his original quartet among other characters casts doubts on how much more original he could be with his characters.)

another one someone pointed out is Hisoka

and part 3 Dio Brando

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090403235924/villains/images/d/d2/Dio_Brando.jpg

This may be a stretch though. The rings, hairstyle, and facial expression are all similar, but only vaguely so. It would be difficult to call Hisoka an actual basis. Zeno and Wang Chan sound more plausible. TriNiSette (talk) 20:43, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

Yu Yu Hakusho

The third chapter is about a guy with the ability to target stuff and then throw anything, following those targets. At some point he use knifes and there's a panel looking exactly like one from JoJo. Then he later uses a truck, like the one from the anime.

Also, that arc starts with new powers, working exactly like JoJo's, just with no stands. It even implies that characters need to use strategies to beat the enemies.

You should look at it. XrD (talk) 00:36, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

Well considered, though there's almost no way to prove this, and it might not be a good idea to put too many hypothetical propositions on a wiki at once. It could even be argued that Togashi abandoned the strategic idea because his manga thrived off of brute force. Regardless, we don't have much, if any, proof of this proposition, though it would be nice if you post the links to the manga pages in question. TriNiSette (talk) 21:09, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Sket Dance - Stand


(Sket Dance - chapter 55 pg.17)

I'm italian and i'm sorry for my "english", in the bottom panel the girl seems to be talking about a Stand, it makes sense as a reference?

Don't worry anch'io sono italiano. come si chiama quella ragazza?

(Don't worry, I'm Italian too. What's that girl's name?) Rayleigh92 (talk) 21:52, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

Il suo nome è Satonaka Mariko, in quel capitolo c'è una studentessa di nome Saotome Roman che mostra un manga fatto da lei allo Sket Dan dove fa degli esempi e cerca di insegnare riguardo a come fare un manga e praticamente quello lì dovrebbe essere un "esempio" di manga Shoujo, anche se alla fine si presenta come Shonen, ragazza in ritardo da scuola, studentessa appena trasferita che vede una persona che pensava di aver già ucciso tra i nuovi compagni di classe e che si ripromette di ammazzarlo con certezza questa volta con il suo "Lover Soul" (Lo stand). Diciamo che ho scritto anche più del necessario^^"

This Madoka video
Does anyone know if it's fanmade or really (and then to put in this page)? Rayleigh92 (talk) 17:56, December 28, 2012 (UTC)



--That's Fanmade, the video was made at the beginning of this month on NicoNico, and the Madoka Magica Anime was made like in January from 2011, there's no way that can be official. The Border of Phantasm 18:59, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Oh thank u, sadly I never seen madoka, then I didn't know ^^ Rayleigh92 (talk) 21:45, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Then don't do it (watch madoka), is not that good like everyone says xD and np ;D The Border of Phantasm 23:28, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for advice XD it never attracted me, but the continue positive comments in the web almost convinced me. now I'll avoid to watch it Rayleigh92 (talk) 11:20, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

It's good, but definitely overrated. I've watched it and that's definitely not how the ending went of that episode in the video. There's tons of of these types of fanmade madoka pictures/videos referencing Jojo, since many believe there are similarties, like one of the characters having time related powers. There really isn't that much of a connection though. MetallicKaiser (talk) 11:56, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

Tadashi Harada

 * Models dressed up as JoJo characters
 * some other photos

This hairstylist/make up artist did a JoJo homage for various parts last month. He put it on his website but then they disappeared real quick (I guess because of slowdown from too many page hits?). I'm bummed that I couldn't save the images before they were removed so I'm glad there's still some posts like this floating around the net. Is that worth a mention on here or somewhere else?

This reminds me, why is Bleach not on here? (coughfullbringerarccough) TriNiSette (talk) 04:00, July 1, 2013 (UTC)

Pokemon X and Y  Siebold
I dont really see any resemblence between  Siebold  and Dio just the fact that they both have blond hair, As for his manners can someone tell me how they are like Dio's cause i havent seen how he acts. HazeShot (talk) 21:32, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Haven't played Pokemon X and Y yet, but, judgind by Siebold's page in Bulbapedia ( http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Siebold ), he acts more like Tonio than Dio (what with all the talk about cooking being a form of art etc). I know the page is still a stub, but is complete enough to see how the character acts, and I say that he doesn't really act like Dio. PedroJJBA (talk) 23:07, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

Zettai Karen Children
Chapter 159, page 6

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Luigi, a character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, has a Final Smash (a sort of super attack) called the Negative Zone which is a black field that weakens and causes random effects on all enemies within its range. The attack starts out in a way how DIO calls out the time stop which is a black ring that causes everything around it to have a negative color. Luigi also performs a strange dance once Negative Zone is used and he ends the dance with a DIO-like pose.
