* BadassDecay: Joseph in Part 3. It's justified since he's an old man by that point and hasn't used Hamon for a while since Part 2 and is not the main [=JoJo=] of Part 3, but it's still frustrating to see the guy that took down Wamuu and Esidisi struggling so much to fight the enemy Stand users. Even more increased and further justified by Part 4, where he's going senile and generally deliberately omitted from the action. He's pushing 80 and [[RetiredBadass retired]] by then.

* BadassDecay: Joseph in Part 3. It's justified since he's now an old man by that point and hasn't used who neglected his Hamon for a while since Part 2 training during the time gap and is not the main [=JoJo=] of Part 3, but it's still frustrating to see the guy that took down Wamuu and Esidisi struggling so much to fight the enemy Stand users. Even more increased and further justified by By Part 4, where Joseph takes a backseat from the action as he's going senile and generally deliberately omitted from the action. He's pushing 80 eighty years old and [[RetiredBadass retired]] by then.



** You'll often hear that Hamon was completely dropped once Stands were introduced but it does show up one more time during the Dio fight: Joeseph wraps himself in [[VineTentacles Hermit Purple]] and imbues it with Hamon as a defense against Dio, nearly tricking the vampire into damaging himself with a melee attack, which is what prompts Dio to use his iconic [[FlechetteStorm knife throwing strategy]]. After ''that'' it does disappear from the story, largely because Hamon has already fulfilled its purpose of [[spoiler:defeating the Pillar Men and their undead servants]].
** Hamon is sometimes cited as a [[CripplingOverspecialization one-trick pony martial art]] that only works on monsters WeakenedByTheLight, never mind that its first appearance in ''Phantom Blood'' has Zeppeli destroying a rock with Hamon energy. In addition, humans are still affected by Hamon as ''Battle Tendency'' shows Joseph slicing apart a cop's fingers with Hamon and Caesar using Hamon to hypnotize a random woman. Even Hamon users are not immune to Hamon techniques as demonstrated in Joseph's bouts against Caesar and [[spoiler:Ultimate Kars]].

* BadassDecay: Joseph in Part 3. Somewhat justified since he's an old man by that point, the fact that the majority of his training was based around Hamon [[CripplingOverspecialization which is only truly useful against vampire enemies, of which there are barely any in Part 3]] and is not the main [=JoJo=] of his part, but it's still frustrating to see the guy that took down Wamuu and Esidisi struggling so much to fight the enemy Stand users.

Even Hamon users are not immune to Hamon techniques as demonstrated in Joseph's bouts against Caesar and [[spoiler:Ultimate Kars]].
** It is generally claimed that DIO loses his vampire powers in ''Stardust Crusaders'' to explain why DIO primarily relies on his new Stand to fight the protagonists... even though a major plot point in ''Stardust Crusaders'' is that DIO can {{mind control}} people with his vampire flesh buds. Later, DIO also demonstrates to Hol Horse that his vampire powers still work but [[PowerIncontinence are weaker on his body's left side]] because he hasn't fully adjusted to Jonathan's body. After DIO absorbs Joseph's blood, he regains full control over his vampire powers, which in turn strengthens The World.



** A popular explaination on why Stand Users are capable of surviving what should be lethal wounds in real life is that Stand Users are inherently tougher and stronger than regular humans; this has no basis in canon, with Stand Users surviving said attacks through a mixure of strategy and raw determination at most. A similiar idea is that gaining a Stand makes you smarter, which ''does'' have some basis in canon, but it only applies to non-human Stand Users. [[note]] Mannish Boy, an intelligent Stand-using baby, may sound like an example of this, but Shizuka, another Stand-using baby, does not display the same level of intelligence.[[/note]]

** Italy remains the only western country where the manga has been fully released and has significant popularity. The series has a strong cult following around the world though. 1/5 of the cast is Italian, one of the 8 parts takes place in Italy and all parts with the exception of 3 references Italy to an extent. Italians love [=JoJo=], and [=JoJo=] returns the favor.

* FandomHeresy: Skipping parts. Even fans that dislike several parts really frown on those who deliberately skip parts to get to later parts, especially when it is about watching the most recent season of the anime adaptation. Those that advocate skipping are quickly singled out by the fanbase and yelled at for daring to say such a horrible thing, which happened with this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZhT--NbjJw video]] encouraging skipping parts by summarizing the first four parts so that people could jump into Golden Wind. It started an outcry and many voices were raised to criticize the mere idea of skipping. Those against skipping parts argue that the best way to enjoy the series is in order and that those who won't give a part a fair chance should not even touch the series at all, being quick to accuse a part skipper of only being in for the memes and not the actual qualities of the series. However, Araki did make his parts rather self-contained so it isn't like you'd miss out on much (though you do miss on callbacks and plot points established earlier), and Araki himself said that it was okay to read the series out of order.

* FandomHeresy: Skipping parts. Even fans that dislike several parts really frown on those who deliberately skip parts to get to later parts, especially when it is about watching the most recent season of the anime adaptation. Skipping straight to ''Stardust Crusaders'', the third part, is especially tempting for newcomers, since it's the part that clears up most of the EarlyInstalmentWeirdness and introduces Stands, but it's also strongly connected to previous parts (the BigBad, Dio, was introduced in ''Phantom Blood'', and an aged version of ''Battle Tendency'''s protagonist Joseph is a major character), so not watching the first two parts is still frowned upon, especially since they're the shortest parts, only taking half an anime season each.

* OnceOriginalNowCommon: This is the seventh-longest-running manga, ''ever'', and it seems tired at points (but no less awesome) by today's standards, seeing as it invented most of the current shonen tropes. This ironically played in the 2012 anime's favor, since in these days of deeply flawed heroes, sympathetic villains and many played and subverted shonen fighter tropes, Part 1 ''Phantom Blood'''s by the book IdealHero Jonathan, unambiguously and ObviouslyEvil (yet still having some degree of complexity) Dio and many played seriously straight shonen tropes [[CyclicTrope actually look fresh]].

Phantom Blood 2007 is a film, not an OVA.


** The theme song for the ''Phantom Blood'' OVA "VOODOO KINGDOM" caused fans to associate the series with the Japanese hip-hop band Soul'd Out as well. It helps that Wekapipo and Magent Magent from ''Steel Ball Run'' are named after said band's songs, and Araki did design one of their album covers.

* HypeBacklash: As of the end of TheNewTens and the start of TheNewTwenties, the fanbase seems to be approaching critical mass to the same extent as the ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'', ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', and ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' fandoms before it. Most of this stems from the constant pushing of the same stale meme formats for ''years'', far longer than what's considered an acceptable lifespan of memes in modern meme culture before the inevitable refresh/replacement has to appear. The rest comes from a really, ''really'' loud subset of the fandom that [[FanMyopia really overblows Jojo's story]] as the best in all of manga/anime while constantly taking potshots at the other fandoms.

** Which part is the best part? Each part is different in its own way, so each of them has its rabid fans and haters. The most divisive parts tend to be the following:
*** Part 1, Phantom Blood. It's near-universally considered to be one of the weaker parts, but the debate is on whether it's still good on its own, or a boring slog that acts as a steep barrier to cross in order to get to the good parts. The most controversial aspect by far is the SlowPacedBeginning, which is almost entirely lacking in action and fighting, instead belonging to the genre of drama. Some fans enjoy the insight into AllLovingHero Jonathan and [[KickTheDog Dog-Kicking]] Dio's family life, while others find it boring.
*** Part 3, Stardust Crusaders, is the part that introduces the series' signature gimmick, [[FightingSpirit Stands]]. Part three fans love how the Stands allow every fight to be very unique and creative. The BigBad DIO gets a lot of praise, being one of the most popular and [[FountainOfMemes quotable]] villains in manga history. Some fans are also fueled by nostalgia, as for decades Stardust Crusaders was the only part to be marketed in the West, with the OVA and [[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureHeritageForTheFuture Capcom fighting game]] being many fans' first taste of [=JoJo=]. But the part also has many detractors, who criticize it for [[MonsterOfTheWeek its highly formulaic structure]], extremely basic and simple plot, large amount of {{Plot Irrelevant Villain}}s, and relatively plain Stand abilities compared to those in future parts. The protagonist, Jotaro Kujo, is also polarizing, with his fans loving his [[TheStoic stoic personality]], while his detractors consider him a boring, emotionless character. There's also a small minority who dislike how [[SoLastSeason Stands result in Hamon being almost entirely phased out of the series]], and wished that Hamon was still the Joestars' main weapon.
*** Part 5, Vento Aureo, is loved and hated for similar reasons to part 3. It brings back the MonsterOfTheWeek formula that made Stardust Crusaders so polarizing, although this time the abilities tend to be more diverse and interesting. The group of heroes is considered to be one of the best in the series thanks to their close bonds, although the protagonist, Giorno Giovanna, is sometimes criticized for being a SupportingProtagonist who takes a back-seat to Bruno Buccellati. Another common criticism is the BigBad, Diavolo, who is either a mysterious and threatening figure, or a boring and generic villain with incomprehensible motives. The final confrontation is also extremely divisive, with its detractors pointing to the MindScrew-worthy abilities of the characters making the action nearly impossible to follow, while it's benefactors argue that the whole confrontation against [[spoiler:Chariot Requiem and trying to fight for the arrow was for trying to reach a win condition, and that it was a great climax]].
*** Part 6, Stone Ocean, is controversial mostly for its ending, [[spoiler:which acts as a huge ResetButton for the entire franchise]]. Some fans applaud the [[spoiler:audacity of killing off the heroes and resetting the universe and consider it an emotional sendoff for the original universe (as the next part, Steel Ball Run, is a ContinuityReboot), while others feel it [[ShootTheShaggyDog makes everything that happened up to this point completely pointless]]]]. It also is home to some of the strangest Stands in the series (Like Heavy Weather or Bohemian Rhapsody) and has some of the suckiest (Like Highway to Hell, Survivor or even Dragon's Dream); either this is fine, since [=JoJo=] isn't a stranger to bizarre themes or [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower weak abilities]], it's pushing the "Bizarre" aspect of the series too far with [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway Stand powers that are just laughably counterintuitive]], or the third option of only some Stands sucking... but which ones do and which ones don't is its own can of worms.
*** Part 8, Jojolion, while for the most part is liked for it's cool battles and strong characters, suffered through this for how it concluded things, and especially it's BigBad. One group likes how it portrayed it's themes of defying destiny in a unique way, think the villain's stand fight is one of the best final battles and overall liked how most characters got to contribute something to fight the villain. Other group however think that the battle is a mess, [[spoiler:killing characters for no other reason]] other than to rise the stakes, and think that the big bad is the worst in the series for not having clear motives and being very ambigous even after the part ends. [[TakeAThirdOption And another group]] admires the attempt of having an epic conclusion, but thinks it could've been handled way better if Araki had more time to develop it.
** Reception to Araki's ArtEvolution post Stone Ocean. On one hand, many fans celebrate the more detailed art and the higher degree of realism that Araki's style took, praising it as one of a number of aspects that the series that improved during Steel Ball Run. Others acknowledge that Araki has improved in many ways but are more critical, saying that the realism came at the cost of making OnlySixFaces and DullSurprise much more common (in contrast to the earlier parts, which had much more lively expressions and varied designs) and that the pre-SBR characters just don't look right in the new style. Some people feel that these aspects are being improved upon in ''[=JoJolion=]'', however.
** As with all English dubs, the one for the 2012 anime has created some division:
*** Anime fans who are tired of hearing Creator/JohnnyYongBosch everywhere aren't happy that he plays Jonathan, while others don't mind (and some even praise his performance, particularly the Sunlight Yellow Overdrive speech).
*** Creator/BrycePapenbrook's performance as Caesar is quite divisive, especially thanks to his Italian accent.
*** Some are upset that some of the memetic lines like "Speedwagon withdraws coolly" and nearly all of Joseph's {{Engrish}} have been changed, while others point out that a one-to-one translation would be impossible. A good example of this is Joseph's "OH NO! This woman is unbelievable!" from the end of Part 2; in the dub, he instead says "[[MemeticMutation You had one job, woman]]! [[Film/JurassicPark ONE! JOB!]]"
*** The casting of Creator/BenDiskin isn't being debated as good or bad (most agree that he does a good job), but whether it's appropriate that he sound just like [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor Numbuh One]] or whether he should've tried for a more unique sounding voice. Others debate whether his [[UpperClassTwit British accent]] was a good fit, or whether he should've used a different kind of accent such as Cockney or Estuary, or none at all. The same goes for all the other characters with accents.
*** Averted for most of the other actors, with Creator/PatrickSeitz as Dio, Creator/KeithSilverstein as Speedwagon, and the ''Stardust Crusaders'' "test dub" cast garnering nearly universal praise (with Creator/MatthewMercer's Jotaro being called "perfect" by some). Though some still called foul when it turned out that Creator/PatrickSeitz did not do the iconic "Wrrryyyy!" at least when Dio first became a vampire.
*** At [=AnimeEXPO=] 2016 it was revealed that the English dub for ''Stardust Crusaders'' would drop the accents. Some are okay with it since the accents were considered by many to be the weakest part of the dub and it allows the actors to give a more natural performance. Others however aren't fond of the change since it's inconsistent and supporters felt that it made the dub more fun.
*** Whether or not Creator/BangZoomEntertainment was a good choice to produce the English dub. Some felt that a lot of the issues with the dub fell mostly on Bang Zoom's involvement. In particular many Bang Zoom detractors feel as if the studio has become notorious for constantly reusing the same voice actors in leading roles (especially in non-union dubs) and as such the dub played it safe. It especially didn't help that the detractors felt that Bang Zoom's usual talent pool now donning fake accents to be eye-rolling. There's also the fact that Creator/NewGenerationPictures is based in Los Angeles and their work on ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' proves that there are British voice actors in the area and non-British voice actors can pull off solid accents. This has led the detractors to believe that New Generation Pictures would have been a much better choice. Others however didn't mind Bang Zoom's involvement seeing as how many of their fans find that their recent dubs have been relatively strong and have been pleased with the recent talent pool that Bang Zoom has been using in the past few years.

One group likes how it portrayed it's themes of defying destiny in a unique way, think the villain's stand fight is one of the best final battles and overall liked how most characters got to contribute something to fight the villain. Other group however think that the battle is a mess, [[spoiler:killing characters for no other reason]] other than to rise the stakes, and think that the big bad is the worst in the series for not having clear motives and being very ambigous even after the part ends. [[TakeAThirdOption And another group]] admires the attempt of having an epic conclusion, but thinks it could've been handled way better if Araki had more time to develop it.
** Reception to Araki's ArtEvolution post Stone Ocean. On one hand, many fans celebrate the more detailed art and the higher degree of realism that Araki's style took, praising it as one of a number of aspects that the series that improved during Steel Ball Run. Others acknowledge that Araki has improved in many ways but are more critical, saying that the realism came at the cost of making OnlySixFaces and DullSurprise much more common (in contrast to the earlier parts, which had much more lively expressions and varied designs) and that the pre-SBR characters just don't look right in the new style. Some people feel that these aspects are being improved upon in ''[=JoJolion=]'', however.
** As with all English dubs, the one for the 2012 anime has created some division:
*** Anime fans who are tired of hearing Creator/JohnnyYongBosch everywhere aren't happy that he plays Jonathan, while others don't mind (and some even praise his performance, particularly the Sunlight Yellow Overdrive speech).
*** Creator/BrycePapenbrook's performance as Caesar is quite divisive, especially thanks to his Italian accent.
*** Some are upset that some of the memetic lines like "Speedwagon withdraws coolly" and nearly all of Joseph's {{Engrish}} have been changed, while others point out that a one-to-one translation would be impossible. A good example of this is Joseph's "OH NO! This woman is unbelievable!" from the end of Part 2; in the dub, he instead says "[[MemeticMutation You had one job, woman]]! [[Film/JurassicPark ONE! JOB!]]"
*** The casting of Creator/BenDiskin isn't being debated as good or bad (most agree that he does a good job), but whether it's appropriate that he sound just like [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor Numbuh One]] or whether he should've tried for a more unique sounding voice. Others debate whether his [[UpperClassTwit British accent]] was a good fit, or whether he should've used a different kind of accent such as Cockney or Estuary, or none at all. The same goes for all the other characters with accents.
*** Averted for most of the other actors, with Creator/PatrickSeitz as Dio, Creator/KeithSilverstein as Speedwagon, and the ''Stardust Crusaders'' "test dub" cast garnering nearly universal praise (with Creator/MatthewMercer's Jotaro being called "perfect" by some). Though some still called foul when it turned out that Creator/PatrickSeitz did not do the iconic "Wrrryyyy!" at least when Dio first became a vampire.
*** At [=AnimeEXPO=] 2016 it was revealed that the English dub for ''Stardust Crusaders'' would drop the accents. Some are okay with it since the accents were considered by many to be the weakest part of the dub and it allows the actors to give a more natural performance. Others however aren't fond of the change since it's inconsistent and supporters felt that it made the dub more fun.
*** Whether or not Creator/BangZoomEntertainment was a good choice to produce the English dub. Some felt that a lot of the issues with the dub fell mostly on Bang Zoom's involvement. In particular many Bang Zoom detractors feel as if the studio has become notorious for constantly reusing the same voice actors in leading roles (especially in non-union dubs) and as such the dub played it safe. It especially didn't help that the detractors felt that Bang Zoom's usual talent pool now donning fake accents to be eye-rolling. There's also the fact that Creator/NewGenerationPictures is based in Los Angeles and their work on ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' proves that there are British voice actors in the area and non-British voice actors can pull off solid accents. This has led the detractors to believe that New Generation Pictures would have been a much better choice. Others however didn't mind Bang Zoom's involvement seeing as how many of their fans find that their recent dubs have been relatively strong and have been pleased with the recent talent pool that Bang Zoom has been using in the past few years.

* FriendlyFandoms:
** A good number of JJBA fans are also fans of other Magazine/ShonenJump properties.
*** A lot of long time fans are fans of ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'', owing to the fact that ''[=JoJo=]'' was hugely influenced by it in its early years. Both series feature [[RatedMForManly manly men doing manly things]] and insane amounts of over the top the violence. It helps that the first three installments' designs were inspired by Tetsuo Hara's artstyle.
*** It is very common to see fans of JJBA who are also fans of ''{{Manga/Gintama}}''. Considering how both series run in Shonen Jump and parody other Shonen Jump titles that ran at the same time, fans of one series are very likely to find appeal in the other. Especially made better when Creator/TomokazuSugita who voices Gintoki would eventually voice Joseph.
*** Thanks to ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' there has been an increase in the amount of JJBA fans who are also fans of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' which ran in Shonen Jump while ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' was publishing and featured similar themes. Years down the line ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' would also produce an example of this trope with ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'', with the [[VideoGame/Persona4 fourth game]] in particular having the most overlap because of their similarities as noted below.
*** Many JJBA fans are also fans of ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'' which has a similar tone to JJBA and the author was even inspired by the JJBA franchise. Due to the similar tones that combine over the top humor, characters, and action with some serious dramatic moments some have even seen ''Assassination Classroom'' as a SpiritualSuccessor to JJBA now that JJBA no longer runs in Shonen Jump. It helps that Mr. Matsui, the creator, actually did a few cooking videos with Hirohiko Araki, although they were on a Japanese-only site that has since pulled them down. Only the promos (and a brief comic by Matsui about meeting his idol) remain.
** Fans of ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' have gotten along with [=JoJo=] fans, since both series are seen as [[NarmCharm over-the-top but endearing stories]] with loads of [[RatedMForManly hyper-masculinity]], [[HoYay homoeroticism]], miscellaneous odd trivia, and plenty of AuthorAppeal regarding Western media and 80s musicians like Music/DavidBowie.
** A lot of ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' fans are also ''Jojo'' fans, due to both series being a GenerationalSaga against a powerful vampire that came out at around the same time[[note]]''Castlevania'' released in 1986, and ''Phantom Blood'' in 1987[[/note]]. The ''Castlevania'' games themselves are filled with many overt [[ShoutOut homages]] to ''Jojo'', further strengthening the camaraderie between the fanbases.
** For more than obvious reasons, the series attracts many fans of VideoGame/GuiltyGear, another rock-influenced franchise based around weirdos named after musicians kicking the hell out of each other in absurd and over-the-top way.
** Over the past few years, music mash-ups involving the opening themes have become popular among the fandom... usually mixing the openings with music from or related to ''Anime/LoveLive''. As such there are numerous fans of ''[=JoJo's=] Bizarre Adventure'' who are also fans of ''Love Live''. Some or half of them even joked that both of them shared the same universe, as ''Sunshine'' had (coincidental) references and "callbacks" to the manga.
** Due to the anime using real world songs for the endings, this pops up a lot on Website/YouTube. It is a great cross-pollination of [=JoJo=] fans who haven't heard of bands with fans of certain bands more than happy to have new fans. The process usually goes- A new ED is released. Fans of [=JoJo=] bombard the song on Website/YouTube. Fans of the song ask, "What the hell is [=JoJo=]?". Anime fans spew memes and explain what [=JoJo=] is. Band fans get into [=JoJo=], while telling anime fans "This song is great but listen to some other songs by this artist." Anime fans listen to other songs and gain more respect for the bands. If anime fans don't care for the song or the band, it's okay! The sheer influx of anime fans checking out the original song send the view count to incredible levels.
** It's also common to see many [=JoJo=] fans who are fans of the bands and artists that Araki has referenced throughout the series. In particular [[Music/RonnieJamesDio DIO]], Music/LedZeppelin, {{Music/ACDC}}, Music/SteelyDan, Music/KingCrimson, {{Music/Yes}}, {{Music/Prince}}, Music/DavidBowie, {{Music/Queen}}, Music/PinkFloyd, Music/SexPistols, Music/FooFighters, and Music/OingoBoingo are all popular among the [=JoJo=] fandom. Likewise there are [=JoJo=] fans who are fans of bands and artists Araki hasn't referenced commonly being {{Music/Gorillaz}}, {{Music/Nirvana}}, {{Music/Rush}}, Music/SystemOfADown, and {{Music/Radiohead}}.
** The anime has created this in regards to the franchise and music artists and their fans, due to the anime getting the ending themes from various bands. [=JoJo=] fans are happy to have a new group of people to explain what the franchise is about and gaining new followers. Music artists and their fans are happy to have a new group of people to introduce music to and give friendly recommendations that "this band had other songs you know". Reached it's zenith when Music/SavageGarden released a Greatest Hits album and one of the album covers was of Josuke Higashikata from Part 4 as a way to thank the anime fans for beings such huge fans of the song used as the ending for the Part 4 anime.
** It's not uncommon to see fans of JJBA who are also fans of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' since both are long-running series that have created countless memes over the years. It helps that the Joey Jo-Jo meme from ''The Simpsons'' also crossed over into the JJBA fandom.
** It isn't too hard to find overlap between the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' and ''[=JoJo=]'' fandoms, given the amount of crossover memes the fandoms produce. It helps that both tend to suffer ItsPopularNowItSucks thanks to both fandoms being rather large and vocal. Some have even called ''[=JoJo=]'' "the ''Homestuck'' of anime".
** While some fans have [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks called the latter series a ripoff]] in the past, ''[=JoJo=]'' fans and ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' fans have grown increasingly cordial towards one another. Fans of both series find common ground in how both ''[=JoJo=]'' and ''Persona'' involve the use of [[FightingSpirit physical manifestations of their spirit]], yet fans also acknowledge that both series take the concept in their own distinctive ways. In particular, fans love to point out the similarities between ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' and ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' involving several youths hunting down a serial killer trying to keep his identity hidden, and ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'' and ''Vento Aureo'' involving a thief joining a gang of criminals who want to improve society.
** Many ''[=JoJo=]'' fans are also fans of ''Franchise/TouhouProject''. This is mostly because the series' creator has admitted himself of being a ''[=JoJo=]'' fanboy, and the series itself often makes reference to it.
** Fans of Franchise/YuGiOh and its sequels love comparing it to ''[=JoJo=]''. It's easy to see why thanks to both series taking their respective subjects [[SeriousBusiness very seriously while acknowledging]] their over-the-top antics, memetic hand and body poses, and HamToHamCombat. The storytelling of both series is also similar in execution, split into separate parts that each following a new protagonist contrasting the last, but the same overarching theme of overcoming fate and friendship. There is also a theory that Kazuki Takahashi was inspired to make a card game by the D'arby scenes in Stardust Crusaders; he is at least on record as admitting to have been inspired by the darkness in ''[=JoJo=]'' and the defeat of Telence is very similar to how Yugi would defeat Pegasus. The real kickers for many though are twofold; a) Sartorius/Saiou from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', who uses a tarot-themed deck that includes a monster based on The World who has the effect to skip a player's turn, and who is voiced by Creator/TakehitoKoyasu himself ''before'' his role as Dio. Needless to say, the fans and Koyasu himself when he [[RoleReprise reprised]] the role for ''VideoGame/YuGiOhDuelLinks'', have had an absolute field day with this. b) The protagonists of both franchises' fifth series (Giorno Giovanna from ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]'' and Yuya Sakaki ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'') are both voiced by Creator/KenshoOno...and in the dub, Giorno and Part 4's ''Yuya'' Fungami were both voiced by Phillip Reich.
