Part 1: Phantom Blood[]

Music[]

People[]

  • Will Anthonio Zeppeli's first name is possibly a reference to the English novelist William Makepeace ThackerayW, who was quoted upon Zeppeli's death.[4] His most famous novel is The Luck of Barry Lyndon, which inspired a movie by Stanley Kubrick in 1975.
  • The university where Jonathan and Dio studied is named Hugh Hudson Academy. This is likely named after Hugh HudsonW, a British film director, known by the masterpiece movie Chariots of Fire.
  • The concept designs of Jonathan and Dio came from Sylvester StalloneW and Arnold SchwarzeneggerW, whose films were popular at the time.[1]
  • Dio's surname is possibly named after the actor Marlon BrandoW.[citation needed] Araki also said in an interview that Dio's design was inspired by the character Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) in Blade Runner.

Film[]

DioDrink

Dio drinking Cronenberg

  • In Chapter 9: "The Stone Mask, Part 2", Dio is unsure of Jonathan's survival and seen drinking on the street. The label on the bottle reads both "Cronenberg," a reference to the Canadian director, David CronenbergW, as well as "Dead ZoneW," a Stephen KingW movie adaptation Cronenberg had directed.[5]
  • In chapter 43, the scene in which hands appear from the wall behind Erina is a reference to the opening scene of the zombie movie Day of the Dead by George A. Romero (1985).
  • The graphism of the title JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (with the word "JoJo" curled, and letters going smaller and smaller) may be inspired by the one of the Indiana Jones movies. As is the topic of archeology.
  • The scene in chapter 6, when Dio climbs the stairs of the manor carrying a poisoned glass on a plate, may be inspired by the Hitchcock movie Suspicion, which is famous for a scene that is very similar. Araki said indeed that he learned how to make a scenario by reading Hitchcock's interviews in the Hitchcock/Truffaut, where this film is commented. Although it is not certain, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure may also share some similarities with other Hitchcock movies, such as Psycho, Shadow of a Doubt and Strangers on a Train.

Manga/Anime[]

  • Jonathan is vaguely influenced by KenshiroW from Fist of the North StarW.[citation needed] In chapter 37, when he says “I’ve come back from hell, Dio”, it is also a reference to Kenshiro's famous line to his friend and rival Shin (“I’ve come back from hell, Shin”) just before they fight.

Literature[]

  • The interactions between George Joestar I and Dario Brando parallel that of various interactions in Victor Hugo's novel Les MisérablesW. George mistakes Dario, who was trying to loot him, as his savior, just as Marius' father mistakes Thenadiers as his savior. George also claims that he gave Dario the ring that Dario himself stole, similar to how the bishop Myriel claims that he had given Jean Valjean the silverware.
  • The premise of Part I parallels Bram Stoker's novel DraculaW, in that both take place in the closing years of the 19th Century and involve a young adult protagonist named Jonathan interacting with and defeating a charismatic vampire.[6]
  • Araki said in Manga in Theory and Practice[7] that the idea of making a shift to one protagonist to the next partly comes from John Steinbeck's East of Eden, a novel inspired by the myth of Abel and Cain, that tells the conflict of two brothers over several generations. There are many similitudes with this novel especially in part 1 and in part 7. For example, when Jonathan's father says that if he has been more severe with him than with Dio, it was to hide the fact that in reality he prefers him[8], it reminds of Cyrus Trask telling the same thing to Adam in East of Eden[9]. The psychology of characters such as Jonathan, or even Johnny in part 7, who see their brother as a rival who is stealing from them their father’s attention, is also very typical of this novel. More generally, the themes of inheritance, destiny, and opposition of light and shadow are common to the novel and the manga.[10]
  • The town of Wind Knights Lot is inspired by Stephen King's 'salem's lot, a novel where the inhabitants of a small town progressively disappear after having been turned into vampires. The very journalistic tone of the town’s depiction[11], with the number of inhabitants and other geographical information, is a parody of the novel’s prologue.[12]
  • The adress of the Joestar manor (visible on a letter) is "Baker Street East", which refers to Sherlock Holmes.

Other[]

  • The name Jonathan came from a local restaurant called Jonathan's that Araki used to visit frequently and where he had his first meeting with his editor. [1]
  • Dio's laser eyes and freezing powers may be inspired by Superman's powers.

People[]

Film[]

  • The cave in which Santana is discovered resembles the interior of the derelict spacecraft on LV-426 from the movie AliensW.
  • Joseph is shown reading a SupermanW comic when he and Speedwagon are attacked by a group of hijackers. In the anime however, Joseph is reading the manga Baoh, a manga also made by Araki.

Western Animation[]

  • The minor character Bruto appears to be a direct Expy of the character Bluto from the series Popeye.

Literature[]

Chapter 49 was originally named after Sydney Sheldon’s Master of the Game, a novel that tells the rise of a rich and powerful family over several generations, and includes a conflict between twin sisters, one of them repetitively trying to kill her twin and to steal her heirloom.

The part when Joseph and Kars almost fall together from a cliff in Switzerland when chasing after the red stone is a reference to the Reichenbach falls in the Sherlock Holmes short novel The final problem. Joseph’s ability to predict his opponent’s next line just by using his observation skills is also inspired by Sherlock Holmes.[13]

Music[]

People[]

  • At some point in the High Priestess (story arc), the crew attempts to take advantage of Midler's infatuation with Jotaro by complimenting her. Kakyoin suggests that she sounds like film actress, Audrey HepburnW.

  • During Joseph's usage of Hermit Purple on the TV, one of the random programs shows Marlon BrandoW in his famous film The GodfatherW, where he played Don Vito Corleone.
  • When Polnareff hits Devo in his hotel room, Devo falls off the balcony; he is nowhere to be found when Polnareff checks for his body. This is a possible shout-out to the ending of John Carpenter's HalloweenW.
  • Ebony Devil's possession of a doll is similar to the horror film Child's PlayW.
  • Yellow Temperance is likely a reference to The BlobW.[23]
  • Strength was possibly inspired by the tale of Mary CelesteW, while its user was modeled after LinkW, a character from a 1986 movie of the same name.[23]
  • During The Sun (story arc) when Joseph is asked if he knew how to ride a camel, he said he learned from the movie "Lawrence of ArabiaW"
  • When Polnareff is turned into a kid by Alessi's Stand and locks himself behind a wooden door, Alessi tears this door down by using his axe. He then puts his head into the now broken door, saying "Polnareff, I'm here." The scene closely resembles the famous setting of Stanley Kubrick's The ShiningW.
  • The first half of the Wheel of Fortune part is possibly a reference to Steven Spielberg's first movie, DuelW.[23]
  • Lovers' appearance is that of the robot from Short CircuitW, crossed with a tick or a fly.[23]

Manga/Anime[]

  • When Joseph tries to use Hermit Purple on a television in order to detect DIO from Singapore, his Stand shows him random TV programs. One of the shows that appear is DoraemonW.
