History Trivia / JojosBizarreAdventure

* ''[[Trivia/JojosBizarreAdventureJojoLands JoJoLands]]''

** Popular Let's Players like [[{{WebVideo/Vinesauce}} Joel]] and [[WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay Best Friends Zaibatsu]] frequently reference the series, to the point where fans have started watching/reading just to see what the heck they're talking about.

* NamesTheSame: From Part 7 on, you'll notice a lot of characters are named either partially or directly after characters from the previous six parts:
** Jonathan Joestar of Part 1 and Jonathan "Johnny" Joestar of Part 7.
** Diego Brando in-universe is commonly nicknamed "Dio", like someone we know.
** Josuke Higashikata of Part 4 and Josuke Higashikata of Part 8, the only difference between the names being a single different kanji used to spell it. Besides, the latter isn't even exactly Josuke Higashikata; the name was pegged for him by Yasuho, and then Norisuke took him into the Higashikata family home. Oh, and it gets better: in this universe there was a guy, for whom Ojiro mistakes this Josuke, called Yoshikage Kira.

*** Mick Lauer, a.k.a. Ricepirate. He's been a bonafide fanboy of ''[=JoJo=]'' for three decades, and is currently working on his own part, ''Blood Sun Vendetta'', [[http://www.ricepirate.com as seen here.]] He too is a promoted fanboy, with him voicing Leone Abbacchio in ''Vento Aureo''.

*** [[Creator/BrycePapenbrook Caesar]] and [[Creator/BenDiskin Young Joseph]] are [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline Kirito and Death Gun]].

* SailorEarth: Pick a song name. Ideally, an older rock song. Come up with a power based on the lyrics, or failing that, just make one up. You now have a brand new Stand.
* ScienceMarchesOn: In Part 6, Rykiel's so-called sky rods were eventually revealed to be normal insects flying at such high speeds that cameras would capture them as longish "rods" (hence the name) with multiple wings. Not that Araki would [[RuleOfCool let a minor detail like this affect the nature of Sky High's minions...]]

*** The [=JoJos=] for Parts 1-3 were voiced by top tier voice actors Creator/JohnnyYongBosch, Creator/BenDiskin, and Creator/MatthewMercer, respectively. However, a younger voice was required to portray Josuke Higashikata. Enter Creator/BillyKametz, who following his role in ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' landed more high profile roles within the anime industry, including Osomatsu from ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'' and Kyouya from ''LightNovel/KonoSuba''.

* WordOfDante: Most fans take for granted that the reboot starting with ''Steel Ball Run'' was directly caused by [[spoiler:Pucci and Made in Heaven]] at the end of ''Stone Ocean''. The latter does indeed show an [[spoiler:alternative rebooted universe]], but neither WordOfGod nor any applicable in-story confirmation (such as an appearance from [[spoiler:Irene, the reboot's version of Jolyne]]) have actually shown that ''Steel Ball Run'' and ''[=JoJolion=]'' are set in the ''same'' alternative universe as the ''Stone Ocean'' ending.

*** Forever, Shigechi and Yo-Yo-Ma were all voiced by Creator/KappeiYamaguchi.

*** Forever and Shigechi were both voiced by Creator/KappeiYamaguchi.

*** Save for [[Creator/RinaSato Hayato Kawajiri]], The Anime gave [[Creator/YuukiKaji Koichi]] & [[Creator/DaikiYamashita Narancia]] male voice actors in Japanese Dub.

*** The Anime averts it by giving [[Creator/YuukiKaji Koichi]] & [[Creator/DaikiYamashita Narancia]] male voice actors in Japanese Dub.

** [[Creator/RomiPark Koichi]], [[Creator/YukoSato Hayato Kawajiri]] and [[Creator/YukoSanpei Narancia]] in ''VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle''. The Anime averts it by giving [[Creator/YuukiKaji Koichi]] & [[Creator/DaikiYamashita Narancia]] male voice actors in Japanese Dub.

** [[Creator/RomiPark Koichi]], [[Creator/YukoSato Hayato Kawajiri]] and [[Creator/YukoSanpei Narancia]] in ''VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle''. The Anime averts it by giving [[Creator/YuukiKaji Koichi]] & [[Creator/DaikiYamashita Narancia]] male VAs in Japanese Dub.

** [[Creator/RomiPark Koichi]], [[Creator/YukoSato Hayato Kawajiri]] and [[Creator/YukoSanpei Narancia]] in ''VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle''.

*** Jalen K. Cassell voiced both Vanilla Ice in ''Stardust Crusaders'' and Okuyasu Nijimura in ''Diamond is Unbreakable''.

* ReferencedBy: ZUN, the creator of ''Franchise/TouhouProject'', is an admitted fanboy. As such, there are several references within his games. Most notable is Sakuya Izayoi, who references DIO in both her [[TimeStandsStill powers]] and [[KnifeNut weapons of choice]], as well as her association with vampires. Additionally, the kanji for Touhou (東方) are the same as the ones used in Josuke's family name.

* It is popularly believed among the fandom that "[=JoJo=]" is a reference to the Music/TheBeatles song "Get Back". However, according to Araki himself, [=JoJo=] is not a reference but the name instead came from the Japanese family restaurant chain Jonathan's. During the planning process for the series, Araki had several meetings in the restaurant and was looking for an AlliterativeName for the protagonist and decided to go with '''Jo'''nathan '''Jo'''estar, naming him after the restaurant.

* FanNickname:
** Part 8 ''[=JoJolion=]'' has gained the nickname "Four Ball Run" due to the protagonist's unique anatomical arrangement. The main character himself is also often referred to as "Gappy" or "[=Jo2uke=]" to avoid confusion with the protagonist of Part 4 in English-speaking fandom. Interestingly enough, the earliest recorded usages of the nickname "Gappy" predate knowledge of Josuke's name, which he didn't officially receive until a few chapters into part 8.
** Yoshikage Kira (at least in his original look) is usually just referred to as "Music/DavidBowie" due to his uncanny resemblance to him.
** "Holy Wubstorm" (after Wamuu's special attack Divine Sandstorm) for the Pillar Men's dubstep-flavored {{Leitmotif}} in the anime.
** Lucy Steel's temporary Stand is known as "Love Train"; however, it appears in chapters called "Ticket to Ride" and was later confirmed to be named as such in ''JOJOVELLER''.
** Pocoloco's Stand is sometimes called "Music/{{Buckethead}}" due to the shape of its head.
** Fans on Tumblr have taken to calling Kakyoin's prominent wavy strand of hair his "noodle".
** Polnareff is sometimes called [=''PolPol''=] by fans ever since Hol Horse gave him that nickname in episode 11 of ''Stardust Crusaders''.
** The Pillar Men have been called the "[[{{Mayincatec}} Aztec]] Gods of Fitness". Alternatively, "Aztec Vampire {{Stripper|iffic}} Gods".
** The World is often jokingly called "Holy Diver" in reference to Music/RonnieJamesDio.
** Mikitaka is sometimes referred to as 'Space [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Legolas]]' due to his long hair and pointed ears.
** Part 2's version of Joseph Joestar is sometimes referred to as WesternAnimation/BugsBunny due to his [[TheTrickster tricky nature]], ridiculous antics, and [[BornLucky incredible luck]].
** Jotaro's sometimes jokingly compared to [[{{ComicStrip/Peanuts}} Charlie Brown]], due to his "Yare yare daze..." being translated into English as "Good grief..."
** After he started studying marine biology, Part 4-6 Jotaro's nickname became "[[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie Ocean]] [[{{Music/Ween}} Man]]".
** "[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Joey Jo-Jo]]" for Jonathan's Fan-[[TranslationTrainWreck DUWANG]]'d name.
** "Oldseph" for [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Old Joseph]].
** Stands are often referred to as "punch ghosts" for reasons that should be fairly obvious.
** The companions are occasionally referred to as "Jobros" for their close relationship to their part's Joestar, in particular whichever given character in a part had the closest friendship with the associated [=JoJo=] (ie Speedwagon, Gyro).
** If only for the notoriously memetic translation, the main and supporting characters of Part 4 [[labelnote:*]] Josuke, Koichi, and Okuyasu, with Rohan, Jotaro, Yukako, and/or Mikitaka usually mixed in [[/labelnote]] are sometimes referred to as the "Duwang Gang."
** Enrico Pucci is sometimes called "Gay Priest" by fans due to his seemingly sexual relationship with Dio.
** Leone Abbacchio is given the affectionate name of "Pisscop" because of his former occupation and his EstablishingCharacterMoment where he attempts to trick Giorno into drinking his urine.
** Bruno Buccellati is also often called "Zipper Man" after the translated name of his Stand, Sticky Fingers, and "Zipper Mom" for his feminine appearance and the way he takes care of the younger gang members. Since Abbacchio is referred to as "Goth Dad", he and Bruno are collectively the "mafia parents".
** Since she was never given a canon first name, fans sometimes refer to Jotaro's ex-wife (and Jolyne's mom) either as "[[Music/DollyParton Dolly]]" (since Jolyne is named after a Dolly Parton song), or "[[Music/MarinaDiamandis Marina]]" ([[PunnyName after her husband's fascination with the ocean]]).
** Some fans love to call Risotto and Abbacchio "Big Titty Goth Daddy" thanks to their exposed chests and dark clothing.
** Thanks to the anime, Ghiaccho is called "Ice Bakugo" by fans thanks to Creator/NobuhikoOkamoto, his Japanese voice actor.
** Fans sometimes call the color scans "[=JoJo's=] Colored Adventure".
** DIO's mansion is commonly, and quite crudely, referred to as "DIO's fuckhouse".

*** In the dub, [[Creator/BrycePapenbrook Caesar]] and [[Creator/BenDiskin Young Joseph]] are [[LightNovel/SwordArtOnline Kirito and Death Gun]].

** The 2012 anime became one of these for the band Music/{{Yes}}, due to usage of their most popular song, "Roundabout", as the anime's ending theme song. The trend continued with ''Stardust Crusaders'' and its ending themes, "Walk Like an Egyptian" by Music/TheBangles and "Last Train Home" by the Pat Metheny Band; then in ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' with "I Want You" by Savage Garden. It happened again in ''Vento Aureo'' with Jodeci's "Freek'n You" and Enigma's "Modern Crusaders".

** The first half of Part III gets the 1985 hit single "Walk Like an Egyptian" by Music/TheBangles.
** The second half of Part III gets Pat Metheny Group's instrumental "Last Train Home" from their 1987 album ''Still Life (Talking)''.

*** Creator/KiraBuckland is a lifelong fan. Jolyne is her favorite character in the series as she has frequently cosplayed her and has voiced her in some fanworks. Buckland also hosted a ''[=JoJo=]'' panel at Anime Expo 2016. She became a promoted fangirl when she got to voice Reimi Sugimoto in ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' and came back to voice Jolyne in the dub of ''Stone Ocean''.

** In Part 3, [[HeelFaceTurn Hol Horse would join up with the heroes]] and replace Avdol. However, Araki realized that Hol Horse was already very similar to Polnareff and thus he remained a villain.
