History Trivia / JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders

** Hol Horse was originally going to [[HeelFaceTurn join the protagonists]] after [[spoiler:Avdol's death]]. However, Araki came to feel that he was too similar to Polnareff in appearance and personality, and Kakyoin in ability. For these reasons, [[https://jojowiki.com/JoJonium/Special_Interviews#Volume_10_.28Hol_Horse.29 among others]], Hol Horse remained an antagonist.

** Creator/ShoHayami returning as Vanilla Ice in the anime is the only time a voice actor who voiced a character in a past installment of ''[=JoJo's=] Bizarre Adventure'' returned to voice a character in the David Production anime.

-->'''Araki:''' Shonen Jump readers stopped caring if we used female characters [in Stone Ocean]. Before, they would have outright rejected them and if a character got rejected, the series was basically over. That type of thing was still prevalent in 1980s Japan, but now Shonen manga is starting to reflect the current social climate and how we view gender. In Part 3, I really wanted to include a girl. And I did for a bit... [...] At the time, I really liked the idea of having a girl around, but it simply wasn't meant to be. With the long and difficult journey ahead of them, I had to change it back to being all men

* OldShame: In ''JOJOVELLER'', Araki stated that he really likes Kenny G's musical works, and regrets naming a disposable mook of DIO after him.

-->'''DIO:''' Oh, so you still want to fight? It would appear pigheadedness runs in the family.\\

** In English: Tara Sands as Mannish Boy, Creator/JessicaGeeGeorge as Boingo, Creator/EricaMendez as young Polnareff, and Creator/DorothyEliasFahn as young Jotaro.

* RelationshipVoiceActor:
** Creator/YukaKomatsu provides the voice of Sherri Polnareff, while the de-aged Jean Pierre Polnareff is voiced by Creator/AyumiFujimura. Both Komatsu and Fujimura voiced the [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt Daemon Sisters.]]
** Jotaro is one of [[Manga/{{Magi}} four]] [[Anime/{{K}} anime]] [[Manga/{{Bleach}} characters]] (and [[VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma one visual novel character]]) that Creator/MatthewMercer shares with Creator/DaisukeOno. Mercer shares [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} another character]] with Creator/JurotaKosugi, Jotaro's voice actor in the OVA.
** [[Creator/BanjoGinga Both]] [[Creator/CamClarke of]] Daniel J. D'Arby's voice actors voiced [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Liquid Snake]].
** On the dub side of things, Creator/DougErholtz and Creator/PatrickSeitz play the BigBad (Yuuki Terumi/Hazama) and TheProtagonist (Ragna) respectively in ''Franchise/{{Blazblue}}'', while here their roles are inverted as Erholz (Polnareff) is one of the main characters and Seitz (DIO) is the BigBad. Kokonoe (Creator/JulieAnnTaylor) is Holly Kujo.
** Kenta Miyake and Daisuke Hirakawa (Avdol and Kakyoin's Japanese dub actors for the anime) are the Japanese dub actors for Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki) in the ''{{Film/Thor}}'' movies. HilariousInHindsight, since their characters don't get to interact very much in ''Stardust Crusaders''.

* CrossDressingVoices:

** In English: Tara Sands as Mannish Boy, Creator/JessicaGeeGeorge as Boingo, Creator/EricaMendez as young Polnareff, and Creator/DorothyEliasFahn as young Jotaro.

** Via MemeticMutation, everybody "knows" DIO's phrase is "Toki wo tomare" (Time stands still). Only via reading the original manga (or setting your system's language to Japanese for the PSN/X360 version) or even studying basic Japanese grammar do you find out it's actually supposed to be, "Toki ''yo'' tomare"; an ''imperative'' (giving a command) phrase-- more like, "Time! Stand still!"-- rather than an indicative (speaking in reference to something through an objective statement) one.

-->'''DIO''': "Oh, so you still want to fight? It would appear pigheadedness runs in the family."\\
'''Jotaro''': "I have to move closer if I want to beat your sorry ass to a pulp!"\\
'''DIO''': "Really? Okay then. By all means, come closer."

** Interviews with Araki suggest that the original vision for part 3 would have not had Stands as a concept, but because of Shonen Jump's interference with Lisa Lisa, he came to a conclusion that relying less on raw physical fights would allow him to get away with more creative designs and roles, leading him to creating Stands.

** After the English dub clip was shown at Anime EXPO 2016, one thing fans noticed was that Joseph lacked his accent from the Part 2 dub. Creator/RichardEpcar confirmed that the studio thought of using accents but dropped the idea to make things easier for the voice actors.

* InternationalCoproduction: The ''Stardust Crusaders'' OVA was produced at A.P.P.P. and The Klockworx in Japan, while the music was recorded at MarcoCo. Studios in San Francisco and the sound design was done at Creator/SkywalkerSound in Nicasio.

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: ''Stardust Crusaders'' (as well as the Jojo franchise as a whole) actually made it's debut first in America via the Capcom fighting game for the Dreamcast and Playstation back in 1999. At the time, only a minority really knew that the series was based on a manga as manga wasn't a main commodity in America by then. The OVA release in 2003 did help a little but was such a limited release that the series wouldn't gain much notoriety despite Viz releasing Part 3 in paperback format back in 2006. It wasn't until the release of the proper anime adaptation in 2012 and Part 3's adaption in 2014 that it would finally be more well known.

* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/MisatoFukuen is well-known for playing little girls of varying personalities, with her roles as male characters being a little less known. As such, her casting as [[TeamPet Iggy]] of all characters may be surprising to many, especially since Fukuen uses a rougher, deeper voice of what one would expect from her.

* FanNickname:
** Fans often refer to Joseph in this part as "Oldseph" or "[[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Foxy Joseph]]" since he's now a senior and is also Jotaro's grandfather.
** Polnareff is affectionately called "Pol" or "Pol Pol."
** DIO's outfit in this Part is [[FashionVictimVillain (not-so)]] affectionately referred to as the banana suit.
* FanTranslation: One exists for the SNES RPG.
