Should have went with the veggies, man-Akira Toriyama.

Also I was confused as hell to see a guy named Polnareff in my video game, back when I was a kid. "What?! How can this be"

I asked my granparents and they didn't know. Thanks for messing up with my brain Araki :argh:

Which part specifically? The Fight between Valentine and Johnny or what happens after?

Part 7 is so great to me, because it shows how much Araki has grown art, story and character relationship wise.

There are sites dedicated explicitly to anime torrents. They are very useful for shows that aren't licensed like JoJo now is!

Our very own Wiki lists some of the big ones.

So in the ending scroll for Battle Tendency, I'm told that you can find references to all the other JoJo protagonists up through part 7. I saw the butterfly stuff for Jolyne, the arrow and sparkly bits for Josuke, the hand symbol for Jotaro, and the thorny vines for Joseph, but I'm told that Johnny's horseshoe and Giorno's ladybug are also in there. Anyone able to point out where they are with like a screenshot or something because for the life of me I can't seem to find them.

Wait, what? How did I never hear about this? I'm checking this out.

EDIT: Ok, I found the stuff you found plus what I think is the ladybug. It's the bottom part of the symbol between the two hands with the Js on their palms that Hermit Purple is coming out of.
It looks like maybe half of the horseshoe is above the arrow. It's the left half and it tapers off into a design with two spheres.
I wonder if there's a Jojolion reference?

Also, I reread part 4 on a whim and I forgot how drat good it is. It's so different from the previous (and later) parts but it feels so right. There's plenty of similarities in Jojolion but none of the characters in it have the same charm and while I enjoy the creepy mystery of it I just don't feel it as much.
One thing that was interesting and kind of disappointing though is Joseph. Every time he appeared I'd kinda look and compare him to part 2 Joseph. It's hard to believe he's the same character. And while he references part 3 he seems so different from that incarnation (as far as I can tell, I've only seen the OVAs) as well. I would have liked to see him have ajust little bit more of a role in the story, or to have seen more of his awkward relationship with Josuke.

The horseshoe might be the bit surrounding the ladybug.

Also it's possible the little star ball near the top is representative of Gappy.

That one actually wasn't Araki's fault, his editor forced him to make the change because turns out that you aren't allowed put the main character in a gay relationship in a Shounen Jump manga!

Is this true? It sounds about right, but I haven't heard of this.
