* {{Foil}}: To Rumor. Cab is a snarky {{Hunk}} with a [[AgentScully skeptical streak]], while Rumor is a nerdy {{Bishonen}} that [[AgentMulder believes in the supernatural]]. They both have their HiddenDepths, but they characterize them in opposite ways; Cab seems like a meathead at first, but is actually very philosophical while Rumor initially comes off as an uptight [[TheSmartGuy Smart Guy]] but shows more childish behavior as time goes on. Both use their Stands to cheat in their TroubledBackstoryFlashback, but while [[NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction Cab grows bored of using Quiet Riot in sports]], Rumor goes out of his way to find new ways to cheat the Hell Climb Pillar using The Chain. Cab is reluctant to hurt others despite having a very physical Stand, while Rumor has no problem [[spoiler:torturing or killing others if they oppose him]].

Both Michelle and Jolyne are the daughters of a [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureJeanPierrePolnareff leading]] [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureJotaroKujo protagonist]] from [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders part 3]]. Michelle genuinely loves her father and looks up to him as an inspiration, despite the fact that he's been dead for years by the time the story starts. Jolyne, on the other hand, has a strained relationship with Jotaro and initially detests him. While Jolyne ends up being framed by others for a crime she didn't commit, Michelle frames herself as the perpetrator of multiple deaths that she had no direct hand in causing. Even their Stands contrast each other: Iron Maiden is a defensive Stand that holds things together and keeps them from moving, while Stone Free is an offensive Stand that unravels itself and perpetuates motion.

** Bucciarati and Sara are both the de facto leaders of their respective groups, but unlike Sara, Bucciarati actually has formal authority over them as a capo for Passione. Both have a vaguely familial relationship with their teammates, but while Bucciarati was a selfless, goal-oriented TeamDad, Sara acts more like an immature sister leading everyone else along with her on her wild adventures. They both initially follow and seek out the protagonists of their respective stories for opposite reasons; Bucciarati to interrogate Giorno about Leaky Eyed Luca's death, and Sara to thank Michelle for saving her life.

This applies to how they view their families as well, with Ermes bickering with her sister Gloria in life but being devoutly dedicated to avenging her after she dies, while Sara [[spoiler:has nothing positive to say about her family, ''especially'' her deceased step-father]]. Ermes was arrested for an armed robbery, but only to get her closer to Sports Maxx, while Sara steals purely to satiate her selfish, kleptomaniac urges and usually gets away scot-free.

** Bucciarati and Sara are both the de facto leaders of their respective groups, but unlike Sara, Bucciarati actually has formal authority over them as a capo for Passione. Both have a vaguely familial relationship with their teammates, but while Bucciarati was a selfless, goal-oriented TeamDad, Sara acts more like an immature sister leading everyone else along with her on her wild adventures. They both initially follow and seek out the protagonists of their respective stories for opposite reasons; Bucciarati to interrogate Giorno about Leaky Eyed Luca's death, and Sara to thank Michelle for saving her life.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Narratively, Hol Horse fills a very similar role to Joseph from [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders part 3]], being an OldMaster whose presence helps drive the plot forward and provides the most financial support out of anyone in the group. The similarities end there.
** While Joseph had the noble mission to defeat [[BigBad Dio]] and save his daughter Holly, Hol Horse is motivated by his own cowardice, essentially sweet talking himself into the main group so that he can hide behind them should another Masquerader attack him.
** Joseph was rough around the edges with his teammates, especially his grandson Jotaro, but genuinely loved and cared about them underneath his brash exterior. Meanwhile, Hol Horse in Iron Touch is often polite and affable with the rest of the cast, especially Sara, but his inner monologues make it clear that this is just to stay on their good sides to make them easier to manipulate, and that he only really cares about himself.
** Even though his Stand was the weakest of the group (something Dio himself even comments on), Joseph stayed on equal footing with the rest of the crusaders despite the nearly 50 year time difference between [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders part 3]] and [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency part 2]]. Hol Horse, on the other hand, ends up being all but worthless in a combat scenario despite having one of, if not the most powerful Stand in the group [[spoiler:since Emperor no longer works properly]] despite the only 20 year time difference between Iron Touch and Stardust Crusaders.
** Joseph's money came from a career as a legitimate real estate tycoon. Hol Horse's BriefcaseFullOfMoney that ropes him into the plot in the first case is all blood money coming from his seedy job as a professional hitman.

* MentorArchetype: Inverted. While at first it seems like he'd be a dead ringer for this trope, especially with how he interacts with the rest of the group's FourTemperamentEnsemble, Hol Horse is a conniving DirtyCoward that only sticks around with the group to use as meat shields against the Masqueraders [[spoiler:and almost leads one of them to their death to save his own ass]]. What little advice and "mentoring" he does give to the rest of the cast is usually counterintuitive at best or a product of his own twisted philosophy at worst.

A [[MixAndMatchCritters giant, spiderlike creature]] living inside of the Royce car wash. Its true nature remains a mystery.
----
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Along with its massive tongue, Meatloaf's attitude is very doglike.
* AngryGuardDog: Played with. While it does act like a guard dog of sorts for Chicago IX, Meatloaf never tries to break into the cars that enter its carwash and overall acts friendly towards their drivers/passengers. However, Hol Horse is quick to note that it will eat ''anything'' that it can fit in its mouth, including people. [[ToServeMan One has to wonder how he'd know that.]]
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Its got the body of a spider and is about as long as Michelle is tall.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Doesn't matter what it is, if it enters the car wash and is small enough to fit in its mouth, Meatloaf will eat it. Hol Horse even feeds it a used cigarette, which Meatloaf happily slurps up.
* GiantSpider: Looks like one, anyways.
* MixAndMatchCritters: It has the body of a giant spider, the head of a bird, and the tongue and attitude of a dog.
* MultipurposeTongue: Subverted. We only ever see it use its tongue to eat things, but it acts as a living car wash, licking the cars clean of any dirt and grime.
* OverlyLongTongue: Doubles as a windshield wiper.
* RiddleForTheAges: What the heck Meatloaf ''is'' never gets answered. The story itself offers two explanations: a Stand or a chimera, both with just as much evidence to support them as much as there is to disprove it. It could even fit be one of the [[OurHomunculiAreDifferent other]] [[AlienAmongUs strange]] [[{{Yokai}} species]] found within the series.

\\

His Stand, [[Music/IrvingBerlin Puttin' on the Ritz]] allows him to change the shape, size, and color of inanimate objects by injecting strings of yarn from the Stand's body into them.
----
* ApatheticClerk: He has the energy (or lack thereof) of one, but not the attitude.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: Strangely, he's noted as having catlike eyes.
* FashionDesigner: Though you'd never be able to tell by looking at him.
* FriendlyShopkeeper: Michelle fully expects him to be either a scam artist or an enemy Stand user looking for a fight, but he's really just a nice guy who uses his Stand to run his store. He even gives her some much needed wisdom about Stands.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeFashionable: He's like this with ''everyone.''
-->'''Firework:''' I don't care about what I wear, as long as it's comfortable. It's not like I ever get to look at myself outside of pictures and mirrors. Other people, though? I have to look at them all day long, not myself. That means that I gotta make sure everyone else looks their best.
* LazyArtist: While he is a gifted designer, he doesn't seem too interested in actually letting his customers know how One Size Fits All works or even greeting them when they enter the store.
* NiceGuy: Against all odds and suspicions. He even gives Michelle a tote bag and cardigan for free.
* PaletteSwap: Literally; Puttin' on the Ritz can change the color of objects.
* ShapeshifterBaggage: Averted. Puttin' on the Ritz has to physically inject yarn from its body into objects in order to make them bigger.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: This is mostly what Puttin' on the Ritz does, combined with TheTransmogrifier. Noteworthy is that it can only affect inanimate objects, not other people. It's how Firework makes his fortune, too; One Size Fits All sells only small, bland clothing, which Puttin' on the Ritz can turn into custom pieces tailored to fit their buyers.
* SweetTooth: As evidenced by the candy wrappers laying around his desk.
* UnderdressedForTheOccasion: His schlubby, torn clothes don't give Michelle the impression that he cares about fashion.

** He's shown to have a weird relationship with the clothes he wears.

Here, he's able to smell two children eating donuts in an elevator that he himself isn't on, a rotten banana in Sara's very packed bag, and the fact that Sara [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbated]] earlier. He even mentions that he prefers keeping his motorcycle helmet on in order to prevent the powerful smells of New York City from overwhelming him. [[spoiler:Highway Star also has the scent of his motorcycle memorized, which comes in handy after Sara steals it from him]].
* VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler:You could argue that he's perfectly justified for attacking Sara, considering that she did steal his property]].
