Line #26 Trivia/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean


1	* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: While there was never actually a Flight 2862 (Flight 2882 in the anime) that crashed in Florida in 2005 en route from London to Dallas, it ''did'' unintentionally line up with the Equatorial Express Airlines An-24 plane crash, which did actually happen in July 2005, albeit on the 16th rather than the 21st, and just like the plane crash in ''Stone Ocean'', there were 2 survivors of the An-24 crash.
2	* ActorInspiredElement: According to [[https://youtu.be/sJXY7TMLzmk an interview]] with WebVideo/CDawgVA, Yong Yea's inspiration for the voice he uses for Whitesnake is [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Patrick Star]], due to having a low-pitched, warbling voice. In a 2022 [=YouTube=] video, he also mentions taking inspiration from Creator/HugoWeaving.
3	* AllStarCast: While the previous parts were no slouches in this department, there are a lot of big names of the anime industry in here. The dub in particular includes some Texas-based voice actors and even voice actors that have not been in dubs for a while due to being mostly union.
4	* AuthorsSavingThrow: According to some interviews, one reason for ''Stone Ocean'' having many female characters, most of which are {{Action Girl}}s, is that Araki was disappointed with how so many of his other female characters ended up being either {{Neutral Female}}s or {{Faux Action Girl}}s, and he wanted to try to break away from that. He also wanted to originally make Giorno a girl and was stopped by editors, which motivated him to create Jolyne.
5	* BeamMeUpScotty: Jolyne does not ask Pucci why he wants to [[spoiler:reset the universe]] in the original manga (she doesn't even know that is his plan). The phrase originates from a manga edit created by fans that went viral due to the myriad possibilities of humorous edits.
6	* {{Blooper}}: In Episode 10, Jolyne contacts the Speedwagon Foundation, whose headquarters are located in Texas. In the following episode, when Pucci is observing the outgoing calls, the location is listed as being in Washington.
7	* ColbertBump: As is tradition at this point, the [=YouTube=] comments section for Music/{{Duffy}}'s [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=aRCLkic9_lE "Distant Dreamer"]] immediately became bombarded with ''[=JoJo=]'' fans when the song was announced to be the used for the anime's ED.
8	* ContentLeak: Several weeks before the anime adaptation was released, the child of a Netflix employee revealed details that were not yet known to the public, such as episode titles, thumbnails, and the end credits song.
9	* CreatorsFavorite: Creator/FairouzAi has said in multiple prerelease interviews that Jolyne is her favorite ''[=JoJo=]'' character, with her having grown to idolize her as a kid. In terms of previous parts, Fairouz has also shown admiration towards Avdol from ''Stardust Crusaders'' for allowing her to help embrace her Japanese-Egyptian heritage, which was considered taboo at the time.
10	* CrossDressingVoices: Almost no adaptation has Emporio voiced by a man. In the games and anime, he is voiced by women; the same goes in some other foreign dubs. In the English dub of the anime adaptation, he is voiced by a nonbinary actor.
11	* EditedForSyndication: In the manga, anime key art, and early releases of the anime trailer, Emporio dons a Chicago Cubs uniform. However, later releases of the trailer cut away from any of his logos, and in the anime itself, every one of his logos are edited to be blank blue circles. This was later changed again in late December 2021, giving Emporio's uniform a logo that still resembles the Cubs' logo, but with the initials "GD" and a picture of a dolphin to represent Green Dolphin Street Prison.
12	* GodNeverSaidThat: The reason Anasui was changed from female to male. The rumor of it being ExecutiveMeddling due to editors getting [[HideYourLesbians cold feet]] at the possibility of a lesbian romance between female Anasui and Jolyne originates from ImageBoards, and has never been confirmed in official sources anywhere. Another popular rumor was that Shonen Jump editors enforced it out of a belief that the high number of females in the cast would [[GirlShowGhetto turn off adolescent male viewers]]. Both of these were nixed when Araki stated [[https://twitter.com/jojo_wiki/status/1195888073273303041 he was always meant to be a character who "went beyond the standard definition of genders"]].
13	* MilestoneCelebration: In a way, Part 6 acts as this to the series as a whole; its first chapter was published thirteen years ''to the day'' after the publication of chapter one of ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Phantom Blood]]''.
14	* TheOtherDarrin: Just like the previous two parts, there were seperate auditions for the anime and ''Eyes of Heaven'' leading to many characters being recasted in the anime.

In the anime, he is voiced by Creator/TomokazuSeki.
27	* OneTakeWonder: Creator/YongYea confirmed in a [=YouTube=] video that he was able to record the scene of Pucci's defeat in one take, and even showed a [[https://youtu.be/DSz-eQLQE8c behind-the-scenes video]] of him voicing the scene, including him needing to drink water due to feeling lightheaded.
28	* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/HowardWang [[https://mobile.twitter.com/TheHowardWang/status/1565255328056324098 admitted to]] Anasui being the role he was the most nervous for, as he's usually typecast as either {{Smug Snake}}s or TheStoic, with [[SoftSpokenSadist Soft-Spoken Sadists]] and {{Yandere}}s being new territory to him.
29	* PromotedFanboy:
30	** The ''[=JoJo=]'' series as a whole inspired Creator/FairouzAi, Jolyne's voice actress in the anime adaptation, to pursue voice acting. She also had a dream to voice Foo Fighters ever since reading the manga... only to end up with the role of Jolyne Cujoh herself, who she was only reluctant to audition for because she was afraid she [[DifficultButAwesome wouldn't do the character justice]].
31	** Creator/MutsumiTamura, Creator/MariyaIse, and Creator/AtsumiTanezaki have all admitted to being long-time fans of ''[=JoJo=]'', and the three were cast as Ermes, Foo Fighters, and Emporio respectively. In particular, Mutsumi Tamura and Atsumi Tanezaki have gone on record to say in prerelease interviews that they [[EscapistCharacter personally see themselves]] in Ermes and Emporio, with the former being passionate and a stickler for justice, and the latter being a massive ShrinkingViolet.
32	** Jolyne's English VA, Creator/KiraBuckland, is a huge fan of the series as well, who hoped to voice Jolyne one day, and her dream came true.
33	** Kira's roommate, Creator/CaseyMongillo, is just as much of a fan of ''[=JoJo=]'' as her and had previously auditioned for the voice of Narancia, but ended up getting rejected, only to later net the role as Emporio in the Part 6 dub.
34	** Creator/HowardWang is also a long-time fan of ''[=JoJo=]'', and ended up selected as the English VA for Anasui. He admits to Anasui being the most nervous he's ever been for voice acting, as it's a heavy case of PlayingAgainstType, and he even commissioned a [[https://mobile.twitter.com/noonvincent fan artist]] to draw him a [[https://mobile.twitter.com/TheHowardWang/status/1565486500120182785 print of Anasui and Diver Down]] in honor of the second episode batch's release.
35	** Creator/YongYea, the English voice of Pucci, is yet another fan of the series, who also hoped to obtain a role in it when he first began voice acting.
36	** Much like Yong Yea, ''[=JoJo=]'' was one of Creator/BenBalmaceda's [[https://mobile.twitter.com/benbevoicing/status/1598391488525860885 dream franchises]] to play a role in, and he eventually netted that role as the voice of Rikiel.
37	** Popular ''[=JoJo=]'' fan artist [[https://twitter.com/grandguerrilla GrandGuerrilla]] was hired as the chief animation director for episode 34.
38	* QueerCharacterQueerActor: In the English dub, Foo Fighters, who has a case of AmbiguousGenderIdentity but is referred to with they/them pronouns, is voiced by Creator/BrittanyLauda, who is pansexual and genderfluid.
39	* RealitySubtext: Creator/{{Mugihito}} was selected in the anime to voice Kenzō, who states that he is age 78. By the time the episode featuring Kenzō first aired, Mugihito himself happened to turn 78 years old less than a month prior.
40	* RealLifeRelative:
41	** Anasui and Gwess, two characters who are [[{{Yandere}} psychotically obsessed]] with Jolyne, are voiced in English by Creator/HowardWang and Creator/AmberLeeConnors respectively, who are husband and wife.
42	** The anime dub features the final member of the Fahn family through Creator/MelissaFahn voicing the Green Baby, with Tom Fahn, Creator/DorothyEliasFahn, and Jonathan Fahn previously voicing [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders J. Geil, Nena, and Senator Wilson Phillips]] respectively.
43	* RealSongThemeTune: In true ''[=JoJo=]'' tradition, the anime uses "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMTbmmbn05w Distant Dreamer]]" by Welsh singer Music/{{Duffy}} as its first ending theme.
44	* RecastAsARegular: In ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]'', Creator/TianaCamacho was cast as Narancia's mother, Mela Ghirga, who only appeared in one episode and had just a single line. Here, she's cast as Ermes Costello, who is the {{deuteragonist}} of the story.
45	* RoleReprise:
46	** For Jotaro, his role is reprised by Creator/DaisukeOno in Japanese and Creator/MatthewMercer in English, who have both consistently voiced him in every part of the anime adaptation since ''Stardust Crusaders''.
47	** Creator/TakehitoKoyasu and Creator/PatrickSeitz similarly reprise their roles as DIO, with Koyasu not doing voicework for the anime adaptation for a couple years, and Seitz not voicing DIO at ''all'' since ''Stardust Crusaders''.
48	* StarMakingRole: The anime served to be Momoko Taneichi's biggest break yet as the role of Gwess, as prior to then, she had spent 7 years playing almost nothing but background roles and foreign dub roles, with her most well-known roles in the latter case being Princess Bean in the Japanese dub of ''WesternAnimation/{{Disenchantment}}'' and Creator/SharonTate in the Japanese dub of ''Film/OnceUponATimeInHollywood''.
49	* SwanSong: Kenzō was William Frederick Knight's final role before his passing in November 2022.
50	* TechnologyMarchesOn: Despite taking place in 2011 to 2012, the computers and cellphones used look like they were made in the late 90s to early 2000s. During the Heavy Weather arc, Donatello assumes that Emporio could have only obtained information with a laptop rather than a smartphone.
51	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
52	** Creator/VizMedia was planning on skipping straight to ''Stone Ocean'' after their first release of ''Stardust Crusaders'' concluded seeing as how it's a more direct sequel than ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' and ''Golden Wind''. However, the poor sales of ''Stardust Crusaders'' put a lid on those plans.
53	** Araki had thought of naming Viviano Westwood's Stand "Earth, Wind, and Fire" (and that was the name in the magazine chapters), but since that name was already used for Mikitaka's ambiguous ability he changed it to "Planet Waves" in the volumes.
54	** Araki originally wanted to have WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse make an appearance during the fight with Ungalo, but his editors quickly shot that down as Creator/{{Disney}} wouldn't like him appearing in a series known for being less than family friendly.
55	** The final form of Pucci's Stand was initially named "[[Music/LedZeppelin Stairway to Heaven]]", before being changed to "[[Music/FreddieMercury Made In Heaven]]".
56	* YouLookFamiliar:
57	** In the English dub, Jolyne Cujoh is voiced by Creator/KiraBuckland, who previously played Reimi Sugimoto in ''Diamond is Unbreakable''.
58	** In ''Manga/ThusSpokeKishibeRohan'', [[ILoveTheDead Naoko Osato]] was voiced by Creator/AtsumiTanezaki in Japanese, and Creator/SuzieYeung in English. The former is now the voice of Emporio Alniño, while the latter is now the dub voice of Miraschon.
59	** Creator/DaisukeNamikawa is the voice of Narciso Anasui in the anime, with him having voiced [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind last part]]'s protagonist, [[Characters/JojosBizarreAdventureGiornoGiovanna Giorno Giovanna]], in [[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle both]] of the [=CyberConnect=] [[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven games]].
60	** Creator/GakutoKajiwara previously played the role of Narancia's "friend" who [[FrameUp got him arrested]] in ''Golden Wind'', and is now the voice of Romeo Jisso.
61	** Toru Nara was previously the voice of Nukesaku at the end of ''Stardust Crusaders'', and in ''Stone Ocean'', he now plays an actual Stand user in the form of Thunder [=McQueen=].
62	** Kane Jungbluth-Murry previously voiced Rohan and Yoma Hashimoto's fitness trainer in ''Manga/ThusSpokeKishibeRohan''. He is now the voice of Sports Maxx in ''Stone Ocean''.
63	** In the 1993 ''Stardust Crusaders'' OVA, Creator/{{Mugihito}} had provided the voice of J. Geil. Here, he's the voice of Kenzō.
64	** In the English dub, William Frederick Knight voiced the janitor from ''Golden Wind'' who was killed by Black Sabbath. Here, he'd voice Kenzō, which was, tragically, [[SwanSong his final role]] in the voice acting industry before his passing.
65	** Creator/{{Cho}} had previously voiced Senator Wilson Phillips in ''Stardust Crusaders'', and now voices Dragon's Dream in ''Stone Ocean''.
66	** Creator/KappeiYamaguchi was brought back on board to voice Yo-Yo Ma, with him previously voicing both Forever in ''Stardust Crusaders'' and Shigekiyo "Shigechi" Yangu in ''Diamond is Unbreakable''.
67	** Creator/IkueOtani, previously cast as [[EnfantTerrible Mannish Boy]] and [[SlainInTheirSleep Death Thirteen]] in ''Stardust Crusaders'', is cast as yet another [[GooGooGodlike Stand-wielding baby]] in ''Stone Ocean'' in the form of the Green Baby.
68	** In a bit of a recursive example, Creator/AkenoWatanabe voiced Miuccia Miuller, who debuted in this part, in ''All-Star Battle''. While she isn't the voice of Miumiu anymore in the anime adaptation, she ''was'' brought back to voice Gloria Costello instead.
69	** On the topic of Miumiu, her new actress, Creator/YukoKaida, was also the voice of Malèna in ''Stardust Crusaders''.
70	** The newscaster reporting on the fight between [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro and Raoh]] is voiced by Creator/ShigeruChiba, in an ActorAllusion to him being the {{Narrator}} of ''Fist of the North Star'', with him previously voicing Yoshihiro Kira in ''Diamond is Unbreakable''.
