JoJo References in Non-Anime/Western Medias

The influence of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure spreads beyond other anime and mangas...
So much so that even a pre-school show about dogs referenced it.
This is All JoJo References in Non-Anime medias. I could make a part 2, that depends on the requests...

Hey, everyone. Recently, KZbin demonetized my entire channel for uploading "reused content", despite the fact that I edited both the two Jojo References videos with small comments here and there. Because of this, unfortunately I won't be able to upload a Part 3. But that also means there's a possibility that the jojo videos will have to be deleted (or unlisted if I'm lucky) in the upcoming weeks. I'll consider reuploading them with voice commentary in the future, but don't expect it to be released anytime soon, as I am trying to push more animations and maybe some video essay content later down the line. You're free to archive these videos if you want, and by any means, reupload them if you'd like if the videos are gone. I'd be fine with it as long as me and the content creators linked in the descriptions are credited. Stay tuned to more quality content in the channel, as I have a lot planned. Feel free to give some suggestions on what I should make!

These references make a lot of sense when you consider that Jojo was around in the 80s and the creators who make these references saw em as kids.

[@theradionicrevival8068]

Ehhhh probably not considering the only jojo things that the west got for the most part were the niche Dubbed ova’s from the 90’s and a dope 2D fighting game, other than that it was pretty much the same status of tatsunoko I’d wager more of it is due to its popularity with memes but also just the anime leading to viz itself making access to all versions of the series (games included) more easily accessible so there are more fans of it now more than ever from all age groups and backgrounds. I’m sayin it all secondhand considering I got into it around 2016, but my first actual recognized exposure of it was the “It was I, Dio” meme. But word of mouth from folks who were actually around in the 80’s and 90’s most people didn’t really know the anime beyond the ova, and even then, those were the more hardcore fans on account of how hard it could be to get there hands on literally any foreign media back then Most of the small group of people outside of it just knew it as “that video game?” Aka heritage for the future Which is wild to think about considering how it parallels its old rival (dragon ball) A lot of the first fans of the series introduction to it was dragon ball GT final bout (the first commonly localized Dragon ball game) where you can here fucking STEVE BLUM as goku 💀

Actually, the stardust guardian is a reference to world of warcraft.

So it's kind of a half reference to both.

In South Park: The Fractured but Whole, you can pick different classes to play as the New Kid. If you pick Speedster and play through their backstory, Cartman says a line before the New Kid uses their ultimate: "But the intruder had made one fatal mistake: he pissed you off." The Speedster's ultimate move, Hyperspace Fury, is also most likely a Jojo reference, considering how much it looks like an ora/muda rush. Also I'm like 90% sure the timestop farts in that game are referencing The World.

What I think would be funny is the unintentional references: Scenes from movies and shows which are similar to scenes in JoJo, most likely by complete coincidence.

During Completing The Mission's "Distraction Dance", you can also see 3 characters in colored hats start doing a familiar dance. The hats colors are, from left to right, blue, orange, and I believe lime green. A reference to Mista, Narancia, and Fugo's Torture Dance in Vento Aureo

These blew my mind. Especially all of the references in kid’s shows, I don’t imagine JoJos is mainstream enough in the west for anyone whose old enough to have kids to have seen and picked up on them. I don’t imagine the kids would notice either since JoJos is far from a kid friendly show. Crazy how they threw that in there

[@bobjonas6328]

The paw patrol one was kinda crazy but I can see the other shows mainly because a lot of the new creators of cartoons are heavily inspired by anime

[@demi-femme4821]

If there's ever a part two, there's an enemy boss in the game Hi-Fi Rush called Zanzo who is quite literally a walking Jojo reference. His whole shtick is that he does poses similar to the ones seen in Jojo and quite literally has the Menacing Typography appear at one point.

[@xSharpW]

Genuinely surprised Paw Patrol has a GENUINE Jojo reference. I was looking at it as the clip started and pause and was like "There's no god damn way this is gonna be a real reference, bro has to be reaching here." AND THEN THE KNIGHTS POSED!!!

The fact that the "Menacing frog robot" has this is a jojo reference next to it.

The Stardust armor's set bonus was actually a WoW reference, more specifically a reference about Algalon the Observer. The community just felt it similar to a stand, and they decided to embrace it and make its set bonus do the classic barrage of punches.

[@harbringerboredom2353]

It looked like a Risk of Rain guardian

well tbh, it is standing right behind you, looks a lot like a stand specifically Star Platinum and attacks for you. it sounds really close to a stand so i see why they confused it at first.

6:13 If they ever bring _Reference_ back, then they need to make the subs say a synonym for reference in its place. Maybe even multiple! The weird thing is that they gave a localized name to _Time in a Bottle,_ that being _”Bottled Time.”_ Idk. Just think it could be cool.
