Talk:List of cultural references in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure/@comment-146.199.41.7-20150124234743

Am the only one who clocked on that one of Johnny Joestar's nicknames, 'Joe Kid' (the other was, of course, 'JoJo'), is seemingly derived from 'Joe Kidd' - the 1972 Western film starring Clint Eastwood, who is one of Araki's favourite actors (to the point that he even based Jotaro on him/his archetypal 'no-nonsense stoic' characters)?

Although I understand that nickname was only mentioned in, like, ONE page of early SBR (you know, back when it actually seemed like Sandman and Pocoloco were going to be major characters, before they just got 'Fugo'd' off the main plotline and were just there as background for most of the story before disappearing for good? Seriously, Araki didn't even bother telling us what Pocoloco DID with the damn prize money after winning the SBR -  I mean, come on, an African-American in 19th-century USA winning a transcontinental race against all odds is worth even a small note, perhaps alongside that bit in 'JoJolion' where it said in the Higashikata family records what Norisuke, Johnny and Holly had been doing since the 1890s. Step your game, Hirohiko-san!).

Anyway, I got a bit off-topic there. Point is, you can add in the 'Joe Kidd' reference if you want, even if it's just a coincidence (which I doubt) or not officially confirmed.
