** [[CaptainObvious "Even Speedwagon is afraid!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A panel of a frightened Speedwagon with Jonathan NarratingTheObvious after Dio reveals his newfound vampire powers. Some interpret this as Speedwagon himself talking in third person, which wouldn't seem out of place due to his personality.[[/labelnote]]
*** It's fun to make variations of his name: Speedbump, Rapidtrolley, Fastkart, Velocityvehicle, [[Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit Co-Producer Speed Weed]]... who is nervous, impressed, timid, astounded...
*** "Speedwagon withdraws coolly."
*** Speedwagon also has the FanNickname {{Moe}}wagon, due to his devotion and support of Jonathan.
*** Speedwagon is best girl.
** "You thought this would be [X], but it was I, Dio!" (alternatively for the one after comma: "Kono Dio da!") [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another Dio classic. Originally, it was a boast to Erina about [[ForcefulKiss stealing her first kiss]] from Jonathan during the start of ''Phantom Blood''. The phrase got so popular that it's used as a punchline for a BaitAndSwitch joke for just about everything, to the point that it's on the verge of becoming a DiscreditedMeme for many Jojo fans.[[/labelnote]]
*** Dio's ''Stardust Crusaders'' [[Creator/PatrickSeitz dub VA]] seemed to be aware enough of this [[https://twitter.com/Seitz_Unseen/status/481290750089392128 to use it as confirmation to who he was voicing.]]
*** The English dub even uses that specific phrasing when the original line was closer to "Your first [kiss] wasn't [=JoJo=]. It was I, Dio!"
---->'''Dio:''' You thought your first kiss would be [=JoJo=], but it was I, Dio!
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjtA30DQdDU "Bastard... How many lives have you sucked to heal those wounds?"]]
*** [[ButForMeItWasTuesday "Do you remember how many]] [[{{Narm}} breads you have eaten in your life?"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the oldest memes in the fandom. The comparison is so silly it's funny. Just change "lifes sucked" and "bread" with other words and it's hilariously exploitable.[[/labelnote]]
** "NANI WO SURUNDA!? [[ThisIsUnforgivable YURUSAN!!!]]" [[labelnote: Explanation]]Jonathan's surprise/shock when Dio [[KickTheDog kicks his dog for no reason]], with the phrase itself being a typo. Despite saying it only once as a kid it became his CatchPhrase and videogame taunt (likely due to the aforementioned grammatical error). It was used a lot on forums to show surprise/shock.[[/labelnote]]
*** [[SayMyName "DIOOOOOOOOO!!!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Said when Jonathan discovers [[BerserkButton Dio kissed Erina by force]], and picks a fight with him. People usually make use of this quote when Dio appears or does something evil.[[/labelnote]]
** "[[GreaterScopeVillain Dio]] [[DracoInLeatherPants did]] [[AxCrazy no]][[KickTheDog thi]][[HeroKiller ng]] [[FreudianExcuse wrong]]!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A tongue-in-cheek way of justifying the absolutely horrid acts Dio did, such as: "Danny attacked Dio first", or "Dio accidentally bought poison from Wang Chan thinking it was medicine and gave it to George".[[/labelnote]]
** [[http://youtu.be/gsxXvKnuZ7s Goodbye, JoJo!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Dio has a propensity for GratuitousEnglish in the 2012 anime, and delivers the line with some pretty awkward pronunciation and emphasis, along with the fact that he sounds like Kermit the Frog as he says it.[[/labelnote]]
** You Fell for It Fool! Thunder Cross Split Attack! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Used as a form of BaitAndSwitch, the Jojo fandom's form of JustForFun/{{Rickroll}}[[/labelnote]]

Loads And Loads Of Characters is a redirect that should not be linked to


* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 game based off of Part 1 is generally less well received compared to either the ''Stardust Crusaders'' or ''Golden Wind'' games. The game's clunky combat system, where the lack of a lockon feature combined with CameraScrew means having to constantly redirect Jonathan and center the camera just by pressing block while enemies move around far faster and thrash the player, and the Heat move mechanic can't decide if rotating the stick just about fails to fill the entire bar or doesn't even make it budge. The difficulty curve is schizophrenic too with battles either being comically easy or horrid slogs. The game's slavish devotion to being an adaptation of ''Phantom Blood'' ultimately hurts it as not only does it reproduce manga panels with ingame graphics poorly, but half of the game's combat system, the Hamon mechanic, is locked out for the first half of the story for the sake of plot, making Jonathan feel extremely clunky, and making some battles far harder than they need to be (such as the bullies somehow being harder than Dio). While LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters are present, many of them are redundant as many are either alternate versions of Jonathan or Dio, or play identical to another character anyway (Sledgehammer Speedwagon and Spear Jonathan play exactly the same, for one) and its still let down by the lack of a free battle mode letting players really take advantage of the roster. Those, coupled with bland art and sound direction led to the game being panned compared to its predecessors.

I'm sure there's a more succinct way to put this but the general vibe I got from fans about PS 2 Phantom Blood was that it generally wasn't very good. We actually have it listed on the main "PWLG" page anyway.

** The dub changes one of Dio's lines from "A monkey cannot stand against a human!" to "A mere monkey can never defeat a lion!" While the original line calls to mind an evolutionary hierarchy appropriate to Dio transcending humanity, primates certainly ''can'' stand against humans in a fight. Dio instead comparing himself to the KingOfBeasts is perfectly appropriate.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: The anime often falls into this thanks to the very still and inexpressive characters that resulted from its low animation budget. Jonathan is the most common victim of this, though the Blu-ray/DVD releases fixed most of the faces.

* {{Starboarding}}: Speedwagon → Jonathan. Speedwagon's extraordinary devotion to Jonathan is obviously very commonly interpreted as HoYay, but Jonathan ends up in an OfficialCouple with Erina, and [[spoiler:gets killed by Dio on the first night of their honeymoon]], so there's no way that a relationship between the two can fit in canon. Because of this, fans commonly interpret Speedwagon as having a one-sided crush on Jonathan, who [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy still supports his relationship with Erina]] despite the heartbreak. This is further supported by ''Manga/BattleTendency'''s epilogue, which states that [[spoiler:Speedwagon died of a heart attack at an old age, while having never married ("he never married" was used in England as an euphemism for homosexuality)]], implying that Speedwagon was never able to move on from his feelings for Jonathan.

** In the Latin American Spanish dub, Jonathan's voice actor, Ricardo Bautista, previously voiced the vampire Kanato Sakamaki in the dub of ''VisualNovel/DiabolikLovers'', whose main speciality is to [[ForcedKiss force his love interest, Yui Komori, to kiss him]]. In this series, Jonathan's own love interest, Erina Pendleton, was force-kissed by Dio, through he did it before he became a vampire later on. This is even more hilarious (or worse) if you take into account Jonathan and Erina's voice actors in that dub are a couple in real life.
