I think plenty of the name changes are fine, and understand why they happen.

"Zipper Man" still sucks and is bad, however.

I agree with this.

It should be abolished so my subtitles are more accurate on Crunchyroll so I don't have to wait the 10 minutes it takes /a/ to fix the names and reup the sub file. JoJo is more important than any law.

It's worth mentioning that none of those laws or threats of legal action mean that the rights holders would necessarily win. I don't think there's a legal standard for having the name of your brand used as the name for a magic anime punchghost. It's one of the weirder things about law, in that the actual viability of a lawsuit often doesn't matter; all that matters is the threat of a lawsuit, and the music industry is very very good at making threats.

That said, one of the few exceptions to these copyright avoidances was Dio, and now you can't talk about Ronnie James Dio anywhere without "IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE", so maybe everyone just wants to avoid getting memed. :v:

I figure there's plausible deniability in that "Dio" was already the Italian word for "God" but the one they got away with that surprises me the most is Robert. E. O. Speedwagon. What was the legal justification for that?

In the specific case of Centerfold I can imagine them running into trouble if they named a rapist and murderer after a famous musician.

Yeah it's just his actual name (minus the s), no one wants to be associated with a character like that. I think Centerfold is a great replacement name since it acknowledges the original and makes sense on it's own, like he's folded down the center with two right arms.



And for a copyright legal replacement for Killer Queen, what about Murder Queen? Dynamite Queen? I dunno you really can't beat the original name.

Lady Killer.

It's not a high bar to clear but they really need somebody to put more effort into Vento Aureo's changes, Zipper Man, Six Bullets, Lil Bomber and Fisher Man are zero effort attempts.

Guys, guys. A silly realization I just had:
  • Daisuke Ono has played Jotaro since the 2013 game
  • Yuuki Ono has played Josuke since the 2016 anime.
  • Kensho Ono is play Giorno starting from this anime.

Re: sub chat

For the longest time I was wondering what people where talking about with the name changes, and then I noticed it’s only for the English subtitles. Behold the superior translation in foreign languages!

The best name change was Captain Tenille to Captain Dragon because it was basically the same reference.

It is curious and wants to accept all kinds of challenges
the part 3 name changes are much better than the later ones because they were conceived by Araki himself when the manga was getting localized

Not possible with that fuckwit Gene Simmons still alive, unfortunately.

e: Not advocating he dies, of course; but among the still-living guys from the 60's and 70's, I've read that he's probably one of the most "lawyer-happy" people out there.

Almost at the last episode of part 4. Loved how Bites The Dust was the most op move for about 1 episode until it actually made no sense and left Kira basically defenseless.

Its at least worth a laugh when the audible dialog is REALLY CLEARLY [licensed name here] and the subtitles are the changed name.

I still don't understand why the subs have to change. I sorta get it for the dubbed version...but changing the subs makes no sense to me

This is actually my favorite part of the subtitles.

Is there anyone with a stand that lets them detach body parts of people? I had a dream that Kira's stand could turn people into a living mannequin, i.e. he could detach their arms and legs and head. It was pretty creepy and fit him well.
