It was just coming from your mind

[@minasthirith6314]

Yep, it was just on another level.

[@Speedyboy3293]

Maybe it's because of the golden wind.

[@CubicFoxxx]

SO fun fact - the reason why he says "Let's give it a GO GO GO" is because that's how you pronounce the Japanese onomatopoeia that usually surrounds sinister poses

[@IbarakiPlays]

This deserves more likes

i lost my crap when he pulled that out too was like "oh i like this game"

[@OmegaQuinn]

Yep! I think it’s Symphony of the Night(May be completely wrong) but I know it’s tied to the “Die Monster” video on the internet

[@the120cxx]

Considering the cross references Castlevania and JoJo have with each other, not surprised

[@supersayainasriel6745]

You gotta love that he pushed the kanji away - bits like that wether it's moving letters that appear or moving the two black bars out of the way when they get in close -

[@IbarakiPlays]

If that Castlevania reference was intentional, that'd be tight.

[@divinemusa8731]

What reference?

[@HeckNein]

​@@divinemusa8731 It's the part where he says "But enough talk...Have at you!"

[@TheCabalOnMars]

It came kind of out of nowhere, so I'd assume that it was totally a reference to Dracula's line.

[@HeckNein]

@@TheCabalOnMars With how many refrences there are besides these, I'd bet it is.

[@lemoose8717]

​@@HeckNeinright because Castlevania is so well known nowadays. Plus that's not a very unique thing to say. People in the UK say this daily

[@wolfiethefurrygamer1908]

I mean he did, his boss was against his finances XD

[@AZ-je5tj]

Actually the entire level is the boss fight or rather the part where you need to lower his finances to 0 is the boss fight

[@scylla1772]

I mean, this way he isn't dead, which means we could get premium Zanzo content in the future...

The game is basically what happens when a passion project gets made and it's amazing

[@tde4438]

@@Rysterc99 the ultimate irony is that Zanzo and Roquefort are constantly bickering, passion versus profits. Zanzo burns through money to satisfy his curiosity and vision, Roquefort pinches every penny he possibly can. Yet this game has *both* going for it~

(Seeing the end with a giant robot being assembled behind him he’s connected to) “that thing is gonna mimic his poses behind him like a Stand, isn’t it.”

[@silentjackm.d4490]

He also made a reference to Castlevania "But enough talk, have at you." One of the best scenes just for how over-the-top it is in Castlevania, just look up what is a man, Dracula

[@ju2tunknown]

A miserable pile of secrets.

[@doubleaabattery7562]

Also, he snaps his finger at the sake time the wine glass breaks in castle vania. Idk why I know this

[@KingsBard]

Man likes his Japanese Vampires

[@KerMaWaffLe]

I love that the implied reason for why Zanzo didn’t get a boss fight was because he used up his budget

[@mrsoisauce9017]

I mean, technically his boss fight was the budget

[@yourRussianBoi]

He actually done some poses at the phonecall to RKO'd Rekka

[@cosmo-dragon3973]

The dev team really said “get your JoJo sh*t out of the system with this ONE GUY, but there BETTER NOT be any more JoJo after this.”

[@tanleek767]

It's quite funny seeing how many references got crammed into the cutscenes with Zanzo. Fits his character too with the pizazz of it all 😭

[@swisschese1323]

I'm surprised nobody seems to acknowledge the "but enough talk, have at you" being a reference to that one very memeable Castlevania scene

[@anthonyworstell3768]

Game was like, “I’m a fan of Jojo. So here’s a lot of references for you!”

[@jafarinacar-dj2uk]

The best part is that his EN voice actor is Ungalo's English voice actor, and in Japanese it's Okuyasu's

[@otagabr]

what??!?!?!?!?!

[@JoeMama-me2yj]

The casual castlevania reference during his massive number of jojo references is amazingly done...mans cultured

[@arakemi1080]

I swear this game was made purely with "let's give our devs and animators the theme and the game style and see what they put out" And this, along side the korsica fight were basically the most memorable things. Even though I didn't play the game myself (I suck at fighting games)

[@darkAwesome100]

Just throwing in a casual castlevania reference in the middle of jojo posing

[@panlis6243]

The fact that it's the only boss without an actual boss fight is a crime we cannot forgive

[@TheEpixCherry]

It makes even more sense when you realize he voices Ungalo in Stone Ocean

[@somedude1581]

Dude can't breathe without making a Jojo pose

[@cloudshifter]

The part where Zanzo walks back and laughs before exiting the first dialogue encounter is Vampire Dio Brandos fighting pose sometimes animated when he walks forwards or backwards.

[@hereticFox716]

[@moonbug7252]

"but enough talk - have at you!" is a reference to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
