| 9 | ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' is without question the most memetic manga to ever run in Magazine/ShonenJump. '''Exploding''' in popularity overseas when the anime released, the [[{{Pun}} bizarre]] nature of the series makes it perfect for MemeticMutation. It's rather telling that as of part 5, there was at least one recorded meme in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8POA9lIcHjE every single episode]]. |

| 35 | * Don't skip parts. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Jojo fandom dislikes skipping parts wholesale without giving them a fair shot, especially after Geoff Thew/ WebVideo/MothersBasement did a controversial recap/primer video before ''Golden Wind'' began airing that encouraged skipping parts 1 and 2 almost entirely. Admitting to skipping parts tends to earn derision from some sections of the fandom.[[/labelnote]] |
| 36 | * This song now belongs to the [=JoJo=] fandom. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Courtesy of the ColbertBump for each of the ending songs for each Part, as well as the myriad of references to famous singers, albums, bands, and songs as part of the series' MusicalThemeNaming. We beg you to '''not''' take a shot for every time there's a Jojo reference in the comments section below a video of one of the many musical namesakes, such as ''Killer Queen''.[[/labelnote]] |
| 37 | ** This comment section is property of PASSIONE/gay mafia. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A variant of the meme for Stands in Part 5.[[/labelnote]] |
| 38 | ** [=JoJo=] incoming. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Since the anime uses popular English songs for the endings, the Website/YouTube comments section for that video will be flooded by [=JoJo=] fans and much meme speaking.[[/labelnote]] |
| 39 | ** X is now a ''[=JoJo=]'' reference. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Even outside of songs, some fans joke that ''anything'' that [[ReferencedBy has been mentioned]] in ''[=JoJo=]'' is a reference, even though it's actually the other way around. Fans can get very creative in declaring things to be references, e.g. "Breathing is a ''[=JoJo=]'' reference." Be ''very'' careful using this meme where non-fans might see it, as it's behind some negative stereotypes about the ''[=JoJo=]'' fandom.[[/labelnote]] |
| 40 | * Part [x] [character], Part [x] [character]. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Due to CharacterDevelopment and ArtEvolution, characters who appear in multiple parts are often referred to as Part X [character]. (e.g. Part 2 Joseph, Part 3 Joseph and Part 4 Joseph are all very different people). This naming trend eventually evolved, and as such, each Part became synonymous with its own unique art style; Parts 1-3 practically being a WorldOfMuscleMen; Part 7 & 8 with a CastFullOfPrettyBoys. As such, 'Part 1 Jonathan' is [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/4/45/JonathanInfobox.png/revision/latest?cb=20190117181842 extremely, unrealistically muscular]], while 'Part 8 Jonathan' (An illustration by Araki late in his career) is [[https://i.redd.it/p3iwkpnyor431.jpg slim, twinkish, and pretty much unrecognizable]]. This ArtStyleDissonance is made fun of by fans, with characters often edited to match every other Part, to horrendously excellent results.[[/labelnote]] |
| 41 | * Only [=JoJo=] can make [x] epic. [[labelnote:Explanation]]''Jojo's Bizarre Adventure'' has a habit of turning [[MundaneMadeAwesome mundane activities]], such as poker and rock-paper-scissors, into [[AbsurdlyHighStakesGame intense, high-stake games]] that often appear ridiculous out of context, hence the expression. Said expression increased in popularity after the release of two [=OVA=] adaptations of ''Manga/ThusSpokeKishibeRohan'' created by David Productions, each giving a similar treatment to the mere acts of catching popcorn in your mouth and running on treadmills respectively.[[/labelnote]] |
| 42 | * Whenever an argument about who would beat whom in a fight comes up, the answer is always Giorno. Along with Franchise/TheFlash, he's perhaps the person most commonly brought up in power level debates. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Giorno's Stand, Gold Experience, has an incredibly powerful skill set (with the vague power of "Giorno can imbue life in inanimate objects," which can go as far as Giorno regrowing limbs and organs mid-fight), even just limiting oneself to the powers Giorno ''didn't'' forget as the Part went on. As such, especially considering [[spoiler:his EleventhHourSuperpower in Gold Experience Requiem]], Giorno's widely considered one of the strongest characters in the franchise and on or above Superman/Goku tier in internet fight arguments.[[/labelnote]] |
| 43 | ** At least until Eyes of Heaven, where he [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu met Heaven Ascension DIO]]. |
| 44 | ** Alternatively, Pocoloco will always win thanks to Hey Ya! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The only actual power of Hey Ya! is that it gives its user positive reinforcement, and is easily the weakest stand in the entire series. However, Pocoloco did win first place in the Steel Ball Run, making it popular to say that positive reinforcement can overcome even Gold Experience Requiem or Heaven Ascension DIO.[[/labelnote]] |
| 45 | * Jokes about Creator/HirohikoAraki being [[OlderThanTheyLook way younger-looking than he really is]]; the man's in his sixties and [[http://pm1.narvii.com/6028/13e3ad2370cef1ad033f14cf717529010e67b90d_hq.jpg still looks 20]]. Enter quips about him being a Hamon user or a vampire. |
| 46 | * I Win. [[labelnote:Explanation]] A common trait for most villains in the series is to explicitly shout "I Win" when they believed their victory was achieved, only to be completely blindsided by the heroes followed by their inevitable defeat. Especially popular with Rohan, since he gets a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from Josuke ''immediately'' after saying this.[[/labelnote]] |
| 47 | * The series' distinctive drawing style has become a meme. |
| 48 | ** Similarly, if someone randomly throws around the Japanese "dramatic tension" {{Unsound Effect}}s ゴゴゴゴゴ (GO GO GO GO GO) and ドドドドド (DO DO DO DO DO), it's guaranteed to be a [=JoJo=] reference. Thanks to the anime, photoshopping said unsound effects into pictures has also taken off. Thanks to ''subtitles'' for the anime, which actually bothered translating the {{Unsound Effect}}s, "MENACING" has become its own meme. |
| 49 | *** ''[[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants "He's just standing there...MENACINGLY!"]]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Naturally, it quickly became common to mix it with an equally memetic line from ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''.[[/labelnote]] |
| 50 | * "Out of Function/Retire(再起不能/リタイア)"[[note]]The words that are used in narration as the status of the villains who were defeated by heroes, but end up alive or [[FateWorseThanDeath worse]].[[/note]] |
| 51 | * Araki's habit of drawing the characters in very weird poses, such as Diavolo's final pose (when he's [[spoiler:running from the little girl]]), Giorno's "gang-star" pose, and Anasui's [[http://blog-imgs-47.fc2.com/k/i/k/kikukawayuya/anasui.jpeg model-esque]] pose, has also spawned [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/jojos-pose some memes]]. |
| 52 | ** "[[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-hawkeye-initiative The Hawkeye Initiative?]] Sorry, but I already read [=JoJo=]." |
| 53 | * Joseph's penchant for [[{{Stripperiffic}} provocative clothing]] and poses even by the manga's usual standards (''especially'' in promos) has led to [[http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/462/553/8fd.jpg more than a few stripper jokes]]. It's since spiraled into ''[[ReallyGetsAround prostitution]]'' jokes in the [[http://38.media.tumblr.com/c16a38f89e099255814dab3c448b3b80/tumblr_mmis6qSsXO1rhyxudo1_1280.png same]] [[http://38.media.tumblr.com/6f558ca071a65d77961fa1ca297f1e53/tumblr_n7hzucbfRx1rmo1l0o1_1280.jpg vein]] as the edits from ''Manga/KOn''. |
| 54 | * "Giant [[BaraGenre bara]] deer": A term for the musclebound men in the first parts of ''[=JoJo=]'' that arose after [[http://i.imgur.com/FxQrSgY.gif this animated .gif of Jonathan]] appeared on /a/ with the filename "giant_bara_deer_caught_in_headlights.gif". |
| 55 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqjdRZHLLK8 You are a worthless child, Jonathan.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on Dio's initial low opinion on Jonathan and from [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Kikuo]]'s song "Kimi wa Dekinai Ko", which is popular fodder for MMD videos.[[/labelnote]] |
| 56 | * Dio the Futurama Jar Head[[labelnote:Explanation]]Dio being reduced to a talking severed head in a jar at the end of ''Phantom Blood'' led to many Futurama-related jokes where characters from the past appear as living disembodied heads in jars.[[/labelnote]] |
| 57 | ** Jonathan the Head/Jonahead[[labelnote:Explanation]]As Dio ends up stealing Jonathan's body and using it as his own, it's become fairly popular to portray ''Jonathan'' instead as a talking disembodied head, either kept alive by becoming a vampire, by an exaggeration of Dire's head briefly surviving with Hamon, or just left completely unexplained as RuleOfFunny, such as in the fanfic ''Blog/SapphireHeartverse''.[[/labelnote]] |
| 58 | * Anything Joseph says with GratuitousEnglish, the fans shall never forget. |
| 59 | ** [[LargeHam "Niiiiiice!"]] [[BigNo "OOOHH NOOOOO!"]] [[BigOMG "OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD!"]] [[{{Engrish}} "HORYYY SHIIIIIT!"]] [[GratuitousEnglish "SENUBDEBEEETCH!"]] |
| 60 | ** SANADA BITCH! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Joseph's one time gratuitous saying "SON OF A BITCH!" can be misread as such. It's one of the more popular mishearings, and sounds like it's referring to the bitch of someone named 'Sanada' (for example, UsefulNotes/SanadaYukimura)[[/labelnote]] |
| 61 | ** HERMITO PURPURU! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Joseph's Stand - while everyone who summons their Stand engages in GratuitousEnglish, Joseph's hamminess makes it far more memetic.[[/labelnote]] |
| 62 | ** A significant number of jokes have also been made about Joseph's daughter being named Holly, such as Suzie Q telling him to change her diapers and Joseph going "Holly's shiiiiit!" |
| 63 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3JknE8Rft0 "TAG!]] [[GratuitousEnglish Hellooo]], how are you? [[GoodBadTranslation Happy, joy-py, nice to meetcha-py!"]] |
| 64 | * This must be the work of an enemy Stand![[labelnote:Explanation]]The usual ([[ProperlyParanoid and correct]]) assumption for ''anything'' that happens during and after ''Stardust Crusaders''.[[/labelnote]] |
| 65 | * Expect '''「people」''' who talk about Jojo to at least write a '''「sentence」''' with words closed by '''「Japanese quotation marks」''' and formatted in bold. Occasionally used to determine if someone has a '''「Stand」'''. |
| 66 | * Araki hates dogs. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a pretty literal example of KickTheDog, some poor canine has been killed by an antagonist in just about every arc: Dio puts Jonathan's dog Danny into an incinerator; dogs are killed by the Stands Yellow Temperance, Death 13, and Pet Shop's Horus (who kills two) in Part 3, with [[spoiler:TeamPet Iggy also dying in the finale]], while not a dog, DIO dismembering a cat and putting them in people's foods [[spoiler:during the Time Stop to kill Joseph]]; StarterVillain Angelo of Part 4 bites off a dog's face, Yoshikage Kira killing Reimi Sugimoto's dog Arnold before the events of Part 4, a wolf pup is shot by Magenta Magenta in Part 7... The only notable exception is Kars, who ''saves'' a dog from getting run over in Part 2; this further mutated into jokes about Kars being an extreme animal lover [[EvenEvilHasStandards who's horrified by the other villains' actions]]. Ironically, Araki is actually quite fond of dogs, and uses the literal KickTheDog as a measure for how despicable his villains [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools are meant to be]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 67 | * Araki loves donuts. [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers!)]]Something almost as frequent as dogs dying are characters getting [[TorsoWithAView holes punched through their chests]], hence the donut jokes. To list of those that have had holes punched through their chests, both lethal and nonlethal; DIO (twice), Wamuu, Stroheim, Kakyoin, Tomoko, Keicho, Bug-Eaten, Koichi, Bruno (twice), Abbacchio, Trish's Spice Girl, Weather Report, Narciso Anasui.[[/labelnote]] |
| 68 | * The series is well known for being ReferenceOverdosed, especially when it comes to [[ShoutOut shout outs]] to classic rock, so fans sometimes like to add ''even more classic rock references'' into their fanwork. For example: |
| 69 | ** Episode 1 of the Abridged version of ''Phantom Blood'' accompanies a sad Speedwagon scene with a song by his namesake. |
| 70 | ** Dio is often swapped out with his [[Music/RonnieJamesDio namesake]]. |
| 71 | -->''You thought it was Ozzy Osbourne, but it was I, Ronnie James Dio!'' |
| 72 | ** The subtitles for the DUWANG'd version of "[=JoJo=] ~Sono Chi no Sadame~" are the lyrics to "[[Music/TheBeatles Get Back]]". |
| 73 | ** Ever since musical references were made much more blatant in Part 4, it's very common for fans to just simply say "this is my stand, [[[MusicalThemeNaming Insert random music-based song/album/artist here]]]!" (which normally involves names that Araki has not used in the current manga just yet). In the exact same vein, SailorEarth Stands can serve as FanficFuel — see ''[[VideoGame/JojosBizarreAdventureThe7thStandUser The 7th Stand User]]'' or ''WebComic/WhiteDarkLife'' for just a few examples. |
| 74 | * Abbacchio+Rohan+F.F=Egg [[labelnote:Explanation]]A combination of the former two's headgears and the latter's AnimeHair is noted to resemble an egg.[[/labelnote]] |
| 75 | * "Read the manga." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A phrase that has become super common with the release of the Stardust Crusaders anime. Part 3 is very old at this point, with every possible spoiler becoming a LateArrivalSpoiler. Simply put, if someone posted an angry response to a spoiler for the anime, it would often be rebuked with the phrase "Read the manga."[[/labelnote]] |
| 76 | * When the 1997 oneshot American comic ''Diesel,'' a ''hilariously'' blatant ripoff of the N'Doul fight from Stardust Crusaders (complete with powers ''literally'' called Stands), was discovered by the Internet, it was naturally subject to immediate memetic status and derision. |
| 77 | * "Is this a [=JoJo=] reference?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Lots of media seems to have shown similar stuff to [=JoJo=] causing people to ask this question a lot. VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon caused this to blow up. Initially used to acknowledge ShoutOut's, this meme has since been used ironically as a way to mock fans [[FanMyopia who see JoJo references in everything]], including mundane activities like a man pointing ordinarily or talking about "the world" in the context of an ordinary conversation.[[/labelnote]] |
| 78 | ** (Thing) (Tenuous link to JJBA) What a (adjective) Jojoke![[labelnote:Explanation]]Snowclone commonly found in Website/YouTube comment sections, in reference to this meme.[[/labelnote]] |
| 79 | ** IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING JOJO REFERENCE?! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sarcastically used when a reference is made that is explicitly linked to [=JoJo=]- i.e. using character pictures, plot lines, or lines from the show. It cannot be mistaken for anything else but a reference.[[/labelnote]] |
| 80 | ** Is this a Jay Jay's Crazy Journey reference? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Referring to the series with similar names and synonymous words.[[/labelnote]] |
| 81 | * Crossing over different [[WesternAnimation western cartoons]] (usually ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', of all series) with ''JJBA'' has been a meme for a while, such as making characters doing weird poses and/or dressed up weirdly into stands and naming them after certain songs. For example, there's been fanart of WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck and [[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry Tom Cat]] [[https://i.imgur.com/Pt35nVj.jpg dressed in zoot suits and made to look like Jojo characters]] on 4chan and it began to explode from that point. Reached its apex when, in the ''official'' 40th anniversary ''{{ComicStrip/Garfield}}'' book, a [[https://www.reddit.com/r/ShitPostCrusaders/comments/a2i1te/this_in_the_40th_anniversary_garfield_book/ fan art of Garfield dressed as Jotaro and Jon as Star Platinum]] appeared. |
| 82 | * "What is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure?" "Yes." [[labelnote:Explanation]]JJBA in itself is a ''very'' difficult series to explain, so fans often jokingly answer "[[MathematiciansAnswer Yes]]" when asked to explain JJBA.[[/labelnote]] |
| 83 | ** Doubles as a StealthPun, considering that [[{{Music/Yes}} "Roundabout"]] is the end song for the anime. |
| 84 | * Araki forgot. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Hirohiko Araki has a habit of introducing character traits, abilities, and other apparent {{Chekhovs Gun}}s that are [[AbortedArc never brought up again outside of their introduction]]. Whenever someone asks about these, the common answer is that [[ForgetfulJones Araki forgot]]. This was not helped by [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/classicaraki_33bf7f_6074704.jpg Araki's self-admitted bad memory]]. The meme became a point of contention later on, due to several using it as a way to nitpick the series and accuse Araki of being a bad writer (sometimes based on things already explained in the story), resulting in ironic use to make fun of said people.[[/labelnote]] |
| 85 | * Due to DubNameChange while WritingAroundTrademarks for Stand names, it's not uncommon to see fans bring up a Stand's original name, and for subsequent fans to jokingly come up with increasingly ridiculous names derived from all forms of synonyms, such as turning "Black Sabbath" into "Dark Saturday", "Sex Pistols" into "Intercourse Ammunition" or "Killer Queen, Bites the Dust" into "Murderous Monarch, Masticates the Minerals".[[note]]The actual dub names for these Stands were Shadow Sabbath, Six Bullets, and Deadly Queen Bites the Dust, respectively.[[/note]] |
| 86 | * Thanks to the excessive amount of FriendlyFandoms, many fans also see the series as a main staple of being a shared universe to '''''all''' of the Anime existed''. |
| 87 | * The first teaser for ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'' revealed a new [[CuteMachines cute droid]] called D-0, pronounced identically to "Dio." The reaction was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2-dEFRZ6Zk exactly]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=629PGfItNHI what you]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMr3q_bi32o&t=48s would expect]]. |
| 88 | * Film/JohnWick is a Jojo [[labelnote:Explanation]]Following the reveal of the titular hero's actual birth name as Jardani Jovanovic in ''Film/JohnWickChapter3Parabellum'', Jojo fans noticed that if the first name of his current alias and the last name of his original identity are put together, they create "'''Jo'''hn '''Jo'''vanovic". Jokes about him being the new protagonist of Part 9 inevitably emerged, as well as fanart of him alongside a Stand of his very own (often one resembling a dog). Considering that both series have villains that ''literally'' KickTheDog, the similarities got even more hilarious, and it doesn't help that Creator/KeanuReeves himself likes anime and took a photograph next to [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 89 | * [X] is a [=JoJo=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Following the John Wick example, any other fictional or real-life historical character who has the syllable "Jo" twice in their name (either directly or via translation) can also be declared a Jojo. For example, [[UsefulNotes/TheCrusades Saladin]]'s birth name was Yusuf ibn Ayyub ("Salah ad-Din" is an epithet meaning "Righteousness of the Faith", not part of his actual name). His Arabic name translates to English as "'''Jo'''seph son of '''Jo'''b". Another example is UsefulNotes/MarieAntoinette, whose full name in her native German was Maria Antonia '''Jo'''sepha '''Jo'''hanna.[[/labelnote]] |
| 90 | ** UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} was the first [=JoJo=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The above meme brought to its logical conclusion, given that Jesus's name may be alternatively rendered as "'''Jo'''shua son of '''Jo'''seph". This joke may be less random than it looks like, since [[spoiler:Jesus turns out to be a major, albeit posthumous, character in ''Steel Ball Run'']].[[/labelnote]] |
| 91 | * For some strange reason, King Ghidorah from ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' has somehow become [[https://shuttershocky.tumblr.com/post/185724433666/connor-dioda-shuttershocky-gold-themed memetically associated with DIO]], whether it be because of his gold color scheme, his [[spoiler:vampiric, life-draining abilities,]] or his threatening poses during the battles against Godzilla. It's even become somewhat popular for [[MoeAnthropomorphism gijinka]] fanart of Ghidorah to be based upon DIO. |
| 92 | * Apple's $999 Pro Stand [[labelnote:Explanation]]The announcement that Apple would be selling the monitor stand in question for such an absurd price was widely mocked by the Jojo fandom, with many joking about Apple selling an actual Stand for $999, as well as how [[CrackIsCheaper buying $999 worth of Jojo merchandise]] is still a better choice than buying a single, overpriced monitor stand.[[/labelnote]] |
| 93 | * Jojo Rabbit's Bizarre Adventure [[labelnote:Explanation]]The trailer for ''Film/JojoRabbit'' -- a film about a boy living in Nazi Germany whose imaginary friend is Hitler -- predictably drew plenty of JJBA references in the comments, some joking about the title being a theme naming of "Jojolion" but with different animals, while others compared the German kid with Stroheim. Some would also jokingly ask if the film is about "bunnies with Stands". Somewhat of an AscendedMeme with Araki's recently posted artwork for New Years 2023, which features a teaser of the upcoming ''The [=JOJOLands=]'' protagonist within the image of a rabbit, considering 2023 is represented by the Rabbit in the Chinese Zodiac.[[/labelnote]] |
| 94 | * Jojo's Daddy Issues Adventure[[labelnote: Explanation]]Every main character of JJBA save Gappy have issues with their fathers: Jonathan felt like he was TheUnfavorite, Joseph never knew his father, Jotaro's father was always on tour, Josuke learned about Joseph when he was a teenager, Giorno was abused by his stepfather (until the Mafia stepped in) and never knew about DIO and Jonathan, [[GenerationXerox Jolyne is furious at Jotaro for always working]] and Johnny ''is'' TheUnfavorite.[[/labelnote]] |
| 95 | * Honda Dio and Honda Giorno[[labelnote:Explanation]]There are motor scooters produced by Honda, literally named the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Dio Honda Dio]] and the [[https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/Honda/Honda_Giorno_15.html Honda Giorno.]] Of course, it goes without saying that Jojo fans had a field day with this info.[[/labelnote]] |
| 96 | * YAKAMASHI!!! You're so damn annoying! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Jotaro has said "shut the hell up!" on numerous occasions, most with nearly the exact same inflection. The quote or scene of Jotaro yelling said quote is a common reaction to things that the fandom finds annoying.[[/labelnote]] |
| 97 | * ''Film/CloudAtlas'' is a Jojo reference.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the film, six characters from different time periods have their own separate arcs within a single storyline, and share a star-shaped birthmark. The comparisons to Jojo were pretty much expected, especially with the first three time periods being around the same time as those of JJBA.[[/labelnote]] |
| 98 | * Superfly and Tower of Gray[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Tower of Gray stand from part 3 looks like a large fly-like insect. The Superfly stand from part 4 is a pylon. Of course fans were going to joke about how their names describe each other much better then they describe themselves. [[/labelnote]] |
| 99 | ** AC/DC and Red Hot Chili Pepper[[labelnote:Explanation]]There have also been jokes made about how the names of [[MyBloodRunsHot Esidisi]] and [[ShockAndAwe Red Hot Chili Pepper]] describe each other's powers better than they do their own.[[/labelnote]] |
| 100 | * PAW PATROL HAS A JOJO REFERENCE [[labelnote:Explanation]]The children's cartoon ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrol'' has an episode set in a haunted house where four animated suits of armor [[https://youtu.be/eEPXdtGw2kE briefly strike unmistakable Jojo poses]] in a FreezeFrameBonus. Given that the show is aimed at ''preschoolers'', the inclusion of [[ParentalBonus such a blatant reference]] to a kid-'''un'''friendly series became quickly memetic in the fandom, with many fans joking about the main characters -- who are all dogs -- being in mortal danger given ''[=JoJo's=]'' [[KickTheDog/AnimeAndManga infamously brutal treatment]] of canines.[[/labelnote]] |
| 101 | * [[SarcasmMode "The Stand user could be anyone."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A warning that crops up multiple times in the series which falls rather flat considering most Stand users are eccentric, flamboyant, garishly-dressed [[LargeHam hams]] that stick out like sore thumbs even before they reveal their powers.[[/labelnote]] |
| 102 | * Yet another Rohan OVA / Rohan Kishibe goes to Costco [[labelnote:Explanation]]A reveal event in 2020, which many fans were expecting to be the ''Stone Ocean'' anime, ended up being for a Rohan OVA. Due to this, it's become a meme that Rohan has essentially become a SpotlightStealingSquad and all future animated works will focus on his daily life. Prior to the reveal of ''Stone Ocean'' anime, there were also jokes that the Joestars Inherited Soul event would also just reveal a Rohan OVA.[[/labelnote]] |
| 103 | * The Joestars Inherited Soul event, which also revealed the ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]'' anime, featured some [[Main/TranslationTrainWreck hilariously inaccurate]] autogenerated subtitles ([[https://twitter.com/RIRIXION/status/1378681219181780992/photo/1 this image]] contains some of the best ones). The subs were quickly deemed the successor to [[Memes/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Duwang]]. |
| 104 | ** "Creator/JohnCena vs. Diablo, King of Crimson" |
| 105 | ** "The Toaster Family" |
| 106 | ** "long nipples" |
| 107 | ** "Jew Stars" |
| 108 | * [=JoJo=] characters after fighting a guy who can [x] [[labelnote:Explanation]] A series of captioned images that parodies the general nature of Stand battles in ''Jojo's Bizarre Adventure''; the heroes fight a VillainOfTheWeek who possesses a seemingly harmless Stand with a laughably absurd ability and a very specific trigger condition for said ability -- such as the power to make your opponent's nipples lactate mayonnaise, but only if you chug an entire bottle of coconut-scented shampoo while watching ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' at 3:14 in the morning -- yet ''[[HeartIsAnAwesomePower somehow]]'' always finds a way to [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/002/206/531/451.png leave them]] [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/205/517/12d.jpg badly beaten]] [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/205/571/5ca.jpg and mutilated.]][[/labelnote]] |
| 109 | * [=JoJo=] Brain Rot [[labelnote:Explanation]]A "disease" which describes how many people who become ''[=JoJo=]'' fans end up completely obsessed, to the point where they can't stop talking about it, see [=JoJo=] references everywhere, start listening to music that's been referenced in the series, drop [=JoJo=] quotes during conversations, imitate the characters' poses, buy as much merch as they can afford, and so on. While this phenomenon is not exclusive to ''[=JoJo=]'', the effect seems to be much more extreme and visible for this series compared to others, leading to the coining of this condition to describe this type of fan (including [[SelfDeprecation by these very fans themselves]]).[[/labelnote]] |
| 110 | * Stand users attract other Stand users [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the rules of ''[=JoJo=]'' is that [[WeirdnessMagnet people with Stands are destined to encounter other Stand users]]. This line from the series is used to refer to people who belong to a certain minority group or category, and who know an improbable number of people who are like them.[[/labelnote]] |
| 111 | * Jamón [[labelnote:Explanation]]Spanish-speakers usually have a field day whenever Hamon is mentioned, given that it's pronounced the same exact way as the Spanish word for "ham".[[/labelnote]] |

| 115 | * Dio loves 7Up.[[labelnote:Explanation]]There's [[http://49.media.tumblr.com/3059e44847edac17ac29e1c66c5b8d7a/tumblr_n563bvGBXm1tuhhnio1_500.gif a shot]] in the 90s OVA that makes it look like Dio is a fan of the soda 7Up, since he smirks and the very next shot is of him looking at the nearby rooftop, sign right in his line of sight (in actuality, he's just pursuing Joseph and Kakyoin and managed to spot them), so in certain circles it's treated as his TrademarkFavoriteFood aside from, y'know, blood. Occasionally turns into [[CargoShip shipping]] him with it.[[/labelnote]] |
| 116 | ** In the Part 4 anime, [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/67571bca358e876ed08107813e665a7f/tumblr_oghpeehuig1rna66lo1_500.png a billboard]] shows a logo for Pepsi, and fans tend to associate Yoshikage Kira with Pepsi in the same way Dio is associated with 7Up. |
| 117 | * "It's an enemy Stand!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the English dub of the OVA, during the fight with N'Doul, the pilot [[https://youtu.be/HedtsLTs4eA?t=86 gets his head gorily pulled off by Geb]]. Dramatic music plays and Jotaro exclaims "[[CaptainObvious It's an enemy stand]]!" in ''perfect'' syncopation with the music.[[/labelnote]] |
| 118 | * <--ToBeContinued-- - -/Roundabout [[labelnote:Explanation]]Playing a video to the tune of the first few bars of "[[Music/{{Yes}} Roundabout]]" (the ending theme to the ''Phantom Blood'' and ''Battle Tendency'' anime adaptations) and pausing it when the bass comes in, applying a sepia tone and placing an arrow with "To Be Continued" written on it in the lower-left corner, sometimes sliding in from the right side of the screen. This meme is meant to mimic the various cliffhangers of each episode of Parts 1 and 2, with the arrow being taken directly from the show.[[/labelnote]] |
| 119 | * AWAKEN, MY MASTERS!/MEZAMETAMAE, WAGA ARUJITACHI YO!/目覚めたまえッ！我が主たちよ![[labelnote:Explanation]]Wamuu shouts this line when waking up two Pillar Men, Kars and Esidisi. What makes this moment is both Creator/AkioOtsuka's delivery of said line and the ''fabulous'' poses the three Pillar Men take once they're awakened, the fact that Wamuu awakens them by making his own fabulous pose while poking their cheeks with his fingers, and in the anime, the dubstep-laden music (fittingly titled "Awake") playing over it.[[/labelnote]] |
| 120 | * Calling Wamuu's Holy Sandstorm attack the "Holy Wubstorm", after the Pillar Men's {{dubstep}} {{leitmotif}}. |
| 121 | * Shadow Jotaro [[labelnote:Explanation]]The ''Stardust Crusaders'' anime covers Jotaro's mouth with a black circle whenever he smokes, probably because he's underage. [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/758587-jojos-bizarre-adventure Pic related.]][[/labelnote]] |
| 122 | * With the TV anime premiere of Stardust Crusaders, it's become popular to swap out Dio's Hermit Purple-generated photo with [[http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/730/272/315.png just]] [[http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/730/266/2cd.png about]] [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/730/265/263.png anything]] [[http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/729/874/ea9.png else]]. |
| 123 | * "You had one job, woman! ONE JOB!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]At the end of ''Battle Tendency'', Joseph arrives at his own funeral with Suzie Q, revealing they got married. When everyone reacts with shock at him being alive, it's revealed Suzie Q didn't send a telegraph letting them know he was alive. The line references the dub where Joseph says almost the same thing.[[/labelnote]] |
| 124 | * Adding [[spoiler:an older Caesar]] to the Stardust Crusaders anime. |
| 125 | * [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor Nigel Uno]] has grown up, and now he's even more dangerous. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Joseph in Battle Tendency's English dub is voiced by Creator/BenDiskin using his Nigel Uno/Numbah 1 voice, leading to a multitude of comparisons.[[/labelnote]] |
| 126 | * "Well, call or fold, D'Arby! What's it gonna be, D'Arby?! What's it gonna F*CKING BE?![[labelnote:Explanation]]This comes from Antfish's abridged series that uses the OVA animation. Many cite this as the most referenced part of the abridged series and believe this is the original Japanese dialogue.[[/labelnote]] |
| 127 | * Part 5 Never.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The increasingly long wait for a Vento Aureo adaptation has led to many joking that it will never happen... until [[https://twitter.com/anime_jojo/status/1009692466344222721?s=19 it's announced for an October 2018 release]], [[DiscreditedMeme putting the meme to a halt]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 128 | ** Part 6 never.[[labelnote:Explanation]]After the Part 5 anime was announced, fans moved to making this joke. That is, until 2021, when the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UYOkOsOj1M Part 6 anime was announced]], also [[DiscreditedMeme ending that meme]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 129 | ** Part 7 never.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Once people saw the Part 6 anime, they moved on to jokingly state that Part 7 would never be released.[[/labelnote]] |
| 130 | * Creator/MatthewMercer vs Creator/PatrickSeitz [[labelnote:Explanation]]The English dub for Stardust Crusaders has prolific voice actors Creator/MatthewMercer and Creator/PatrickSeitz playing Jotaro and DIO (respectively). This has lead to [=YouTube=] comments pitting various characters the two actors have played. Whether they're from the same show ([[Manga/OnePiece Law vs Franky]], [[Anime/DragonBallSuper Hit vs Jiren]], [[Anime/DigimonFusion Beelzemon vs Blastmon]]) or crossover potential ([[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Cassidy]] vs [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Dracula]], [[VideoGame/Persona4 Kanji]] [[VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle vs.]] [[Franchise/BlazBlue Ragna]])[[/labelnote]] |
| 131 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olrAmfo6O0Y&feature=youtu.be It's High Noon!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Speaking of Creator/MatthewMercer, [[AscendedMeme he says this line right before Jotaro's final attack on DIO]]. To quote one commentator, "All the build-up of hiring Matt Mercer for just one line."[[/labelnote]] |
| 132 | * Miyuki Ono[[labelnote:Explanation]]With three [=JoJos=] voiced by someone with the surname Ono in the anime (Jotaro voiced by Creator/DaisukeOno, Josuke by Creator/YukiOno, and Giorno by Creator/KenshoOno), the fans joked that the Part 6 anime would have Jolyne also voiced by an Ono to follow the trend instead of her rather popular game voice actor, Creator/MiyukiSawashiro, unless Sawashiro decides to change her last name to Ono. Sure enough, when Part 6 was announced to be getting an anime adaptation, Jolyne was confirmed to be not voiced by Sawashiro...though the new voice actor, Creator/FairouzAi, [[DiscreditedMeme isn't an Ono either]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 133 | * ''An oil tanker for you!'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the OVA, DIO drops an oil tanker on Jotaro instead of the famous steamroller. This, combined with the [[DullSurprise flat delivery]] of the line in the English dub, made it a meme in its own right.[[/labelnote]] |
| 134 | * [[https://twitter.com/Musicedge2/status/1129448702991568896 Fruits]] [[https://twitter.com/FizziestPumpkin/status/1129436645336469504 Basket]]: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/bpvmhy/crunchyroll_presents_jojos_fruits_basket_adventure/ Vento Aureo]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Crunchyroll goofed when they uploaded Episode 30 of the Vento Aureo anime sub, with the subs instead being from the 2019 adaptation of ''Manga/FruitsBasket''. Needless to say, there are screencaps of moments with sub text that that are hilariously inappropriate and others that are hilariously appropriate as well. One set of subtitles [[https://i.imgur.com/149XzxW.png sums up]] [[https://i.imgur.com/6r7Enp6.png this nonsense]] [[https://i.imgur.com/py8cRCe.png perfectly.]][[/labelnote]] |
| 135 | * KAKYOIN! UNGH! AGH! KAKYOIN! IT GOT HIS EYES![[labelnote:Explanation]]From the English dub of the 1993 {{OVA}}. Polnareff's reaction to Kakyoin [[EyeScream getting slashed by Geb]] has caught on for his [[AccidentalInnuendo interesting]] delivery.[[/labelnote]] |
| 136 | ** IGGY, GET OUT OF HERE! HE'S STILL ALIVE![[labelnote:Explanation]]Also from the OVA, Iggy's death has recently caught on due to him simply standing there with his original "ugly" design before Vanilla Ice [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bisects him with Cream]]. The above line is Polnareff's futile warning.[[/labelnote]] |
| 137 | * Jolyne.png[[labelnote:Explanation]]Until the trailer for Stone Ocean was released on August 8th of 2021, the ''only'' official material given for the anime after its announcement was a single image of Jolyne's anime design. Fans derisively nicknamed it such after growing tired of it and hoping for new material, half-jokingly expecting hypothetical similar images with similar long waits between them, such as "Ermes.png" or "Jotaro.png." |

| 142 | * Thanks to ''VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureHeritageForTheFuture'', plus a certain Flash video, Dio is one of the most infamous manga villains of all time. |
| 143 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVs-4dPVmIk It's even crossed over into the real world...]] |
| 144 | ** '''MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA--!!'''[[note]]"Muda" is Japanese for "Useless". DIO shouts this as a battle cry while using RapidFireFisticuffs.[[/note]] |
| 145 | ** '''ZA WARUDO!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]DIO's {{Engrish}} version of "THE WORLD!", the name of his Stand which he calls when stopping time.[[/labelnote]] |
| 146 | ** '''TOKI WO TOMARE!'''[[note]]"Time has stopped" or "Time stops"; DIO's line is actually "toki ''yo'' tomare," which has DIO ''commanding'' time to stop, but a lot of people misheard the [[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureHeritageForTheFuture Capcom Game]]'s voice line.[[/note]] |
| 147 | ** '''[[FlechetteStorm KURAE!]]''' [[note]]"TAKE THAT!" Dio throws a multitude of knives which stop right before the opponent.[[/note]] |
| 148 | ** Soshite, toki wa ugoki dasu. [[note]]"And now, time flows again." This is said in a tone of general conversation with no shouting. This ends The World's Time stop.[[/note]] |
| 149 | ** '''ROAD ROLLER DAAAAAAAAAA!'''[[note]]DIO's attempt to kill Jotaro, and a special move in many video games, is by trying to crush him under a steam roller.[[/note]] |
| 150 | ** '''WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Dio's infamous screech after absorbing Joseph's blood. It's not usually spelled this way in the manga. It's actually closer to "URIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!" The manga translation spells it the same way as the meme.[[/labelnote]] |
| 151 | ** The original flash video has been preserved on [[http://dagobah.net/flash/mudah.swf Dagobah]], but you can also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCw7ysE--5Q see it here]]. |
| 152 | * Dio loves milk[[labelnote:Explanation]]Since Heritage for the Future censored blood and wine into white, a scene where Dio drinks wine from a glass made him seem like he was drinking milk. Jokes have ranged from comparing him to Pesci in the anime who orders milk at a bar, to making the {{Squick}} interpretation that the white liquid is actually [[HoYay Pucci's]] semen.[[/labelnote]] |
| 153 | * '''KAKATTE KOI!'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Kakyoin shouts this during his taunt in ''Heritage for the Future''. Combined with his incredibly dramatic poses, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0kJbMqTPTM this video]] of two Kakyoins in a MirrorMatch constantly taunting, it gained a lot of popularity.[[/labelnote]] |
| 154 | * '''[[BigNo NO]]'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Joseph's voice clips for his attacks in ''Heritage for the Future''. Because of how often it shows up in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LpOdSnA0Bk this]] video, it's become rather popular among fans.[[/labelnote]] |
| 155 | ** '''CLACKER VOLLEY'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]This is easily the most spammed attack, leading this to be recited constantly. Especially in MUGEN, an entire match may consist of this being recited.[[/labelnote]] |
| 156 | ** lol, his ultimate attack is screaming his friend's name[[labelnote:Explanation]]Joseph's ultimate attack has him screaming "CAESAR!!!!" very loudly.[[/labelnote]] |
| 157 | ** [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/0f/d8/b6/0fd8b608f2bf92aa5943a85592a86cfa.jpg Stupid people can believe in anything, so you can believe in yourself!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Joseph's win quotes has become a popular reaction picture for obvious reasons.[[/labelnote]] |
| 158 | * For the hardcore HFTF community, Khan is a fairly popular character simply because of his JokeCharacter status akin to Dan from Street Fighter, with his most memorable moves being his godly low light attack that can chain into itself to the point that it becomes an infinite, the [[SpinAttack Spinny Funny]], and his absolutely terrible throw that everyone uses just to watch him shave his opponent's beard with a katana while screaming "'''SHINEI! Ago goto sotte yaru ze!'''" |
| 159 | * [[WritingAroundTrademarks Diamond is Not Crazy]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A shorthand way of referring to the legal-dodging renames in the English version of All-Star Battle, in the shape of Part 4's Engrish-y name; specifically, to Josuke's Crazy Diamond having its name changed to Shining Diamond.[[/labelnote]] |
| 160 | * How deep can I hit it? Balls deep! [[labelnote:Explanation]]All Star Battle's Western localisation changes the usual translation of Jolyne's HHA speech, where she wraps a baseball with her string and rapidly flings it at her opponent, from "How many throws (of the ball) can I do in a row? A thousand!" to "How deep can I hit? Balls deep!"[[/labelnote]] |
| 161 | * '''''FIVE DIOS'''''[[labelnote:Explanation]]The fanbase's reaction to there being literally five Dio Brandos in ''Eyes of Heaven'': Dio Brando from Part 1, DIO from Part 3, the two Diego Brandos from Part 7 '''and''' a new form for DIO exclusive to ''EOH'', Heaven Ascension DIO.[[/labelnote]] |
| 162 | * '''ZA HANDO ZA WARUDO''' [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d7CWp2chWU Dialogue from Okuyasu]] in ''Eyes of Heaven'' shows him wanting a cool technique like Star Platinum's The World, trying to imitate it and failing in a win quote. The fandom quickly ran with the absurdity of the idea of [[TheDitz Okuyasu]] getting such a powerful ability, creating [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPMMOooP9sA remix]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1643hHysHU videos]] showing what might happen, with Okuyasu either becoming a MemeticBadass or, much like in canon, being unable to use it properly due to his lack of smarts.[[/labelnote]] |
| 163 | * [[{{Catchphrase}} Yare yare]], [[ActorAllusion it's high noon]]. [[labelnote:Explanation (part 3 spoiler)]]A crossover meme between Jotaro's catchphrase, and Cole Cassidy's catchphrase from the game ''{{VideoGame/Overwatch}}''. Cassidy is voiced by Creator/MatthewMercer (Jotaro in the anime's dub) in English, and Creator/JurotaKosugi (Jotaro in the original Japanese version of the OVA) in Japanese. So he's Jotaro in two different languages! It even gets referenced in the anime's dub, with Jotaro very explicitly comparing his delay with finishing off DIO to a western where he'd say something like 'It's high noon'. Joseph is sometimes also compared to the same character, due to tricking Santana into staring at a reflection of the sun at high noon (as well as both having a hat and beard).[[/labelnote]] |
| 164 | * "Next you'll say, OMAE WA MOU SHINDEIRU!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Jotaro and DIO were included into ''Jump Force'' along with other characters from Shonen Jump, including Kenshiro from ''Fist of the North Star''. This got fans requesting that Joseph Joestar be added into the game, to play on the joke about Joseph's "Your next line is..." and Kenshiro's "Omae wa mou shindeiru" both getting a 'NANI!?' from their opponent.[[/labelnote]] |
| 165 | [[/folder]] |
| 166 | |
| 167 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 168 | * "Kakyoin! Did you lay this egg?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]From a Creator/{{CLAMP}}-produced Jotaro x Kakyoin {{Doujinshi}}[[/labelnote]] |
| 169 | * Everybody Lives AU.[[labelnote:Explanation(spoilers)]]Due to [[AnyoneCanDie rampant main character deaths]] in the series, a common example of a FixFic that many fans come up with are alternate situations where characters like Jonathan, Caesar, Kakyoin, or Narancia didn't die and instead got to appear in later parts, often redesigned to properly represent the appropriate time skip. And now fans have a ''canon'' one in ''VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven''.[[/labelnote]] |
| 170 | * Ariel Kakyoin/Ocean Man[[labelnote:Explanation]]Being that Jotakak is a fairly common pairing, and that [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent mermaid]] AlternateUniverse fics/art are a favorite of many fandoms, fans have taken to depicting Kakyoin as a mermaid due to his red hair and green outfit with Jotaro as the Prince Eric figure, or alternatively, depicting Jotaro as the mermaid due to his fondness for the ocean and his eventual job as a marine biologist.[[/labelnote]] |
| 171 | * A common recurring meme among the Jojo fandom is the idea of the villains all living together in the same household, often with comedic, [[VillainsOutShopping sitcom-styled domestic humor]] such as [[https://youtu.be/xUHBxmLA9fc this]]. Recurring tropes found in these works include [[TheyKilledKennyAgain Diavolo dying repeatedly]] and Kira being the OnlySaneMan (which [[DysfunctionJunction says a lot]]). |
| 172 | ** On a similar note, the fandom has greatly played off the concept of La Squadra being much like a family, taking their brotherhood-like relationship to its logical extreme by portraying Risotto and/or Prosciutto as parental figures with their bunch of misbehaving children. |
| 173 | * "Mudad Dio" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common and popular concept depicting Dio having gotten to meet and raise Giorno, and showing him as [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes genuinely caring for Giorno]] despite his wicked, twisted nature. This gained traction due to an Araki interview suggesting that Dio would have cared for Giorno, if only due to his abusive childhood reminding Dio of himself. Their [[CombinationAttack Double Heat Attack]] in ''Eyes of Heaven'' further added fuel to this concept, in which Dio reacts with a mix of surprise and pride at hearing Giorno yell his signature {{Kiai}} while pummeling the opponent, before joining his son in a double "MUDA MUDA MUDA!" barrage against the enemy.[[/labelnote]] |
| 174 | * [[Music/ElectricLightOrchestra Mr. Blue Sky]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The single most prolific name for [[SailorEarth fanmade stands]]. It has gotten to the point where it is borderline FandomHeresy to play it straight, and nowadays is shorthand for poorly-made or parodic fanmade stands.[[/labelnote]] |
| 175 | * Manga/JoeysSpecialExperience [[labelnote:Explanation]]A TranslationTrainwreck of [=JoJo=], putting every part through various Google Translations. It's not even just the dialogue in the manga itself; the project's lead has even translated each part name and volume title resulting in hilarious nonsense titles or even sometimes unintentional references. "Phantom Blood" somehow becomes "YES", and various volumes of Stardust Crusaders (or sorry, ''Star Wars'') include the likes of "Cocaine Oranges", "Zoo Magazine at the Gates of Hell", and "God Damn You".[[/labelnote]] |
