Yeah, Morioh is based off Araki's home city of Sendai in the 90's (Kakyoin is also the name of a town in the Aoba-ku ward of Sendai) and you can he really loved it as Morioh is such a good location and is honestly a character in itself.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
I like when the conversation turns to the Fist of the North Star inspiration topic when Fist of the North Star itself was inspired (at least aesthetically) by Mad Max. It's all one big chain of people making stuff like the stuff they liked.

it becomes even more obvious over time that araki just puts a lot of what he loves into the series.

I recently looked at the Wiki summary of what Part 7's basic concept is, and holy poo poo yeah this is definitely true. Araki clearly has fun with this series.

Before I actually got into Jojo, since I also hadn't seen much of Fist of the North Star, I thought they were by the same mangaka :shobon:

the series is very much a wild ride and it's 100% obvious that araki just uses it to put everything he loves into it. thankfully for all of us he's actually really good at that and can easily turn it into good reading.

If I remember right, when Jojo started, kung fu was big in pop culture and inspired stuff like Fist of the North Star and the first two parts of Jojo. When kung fu's popularity started waning, psychic powers was the cool new thing which led to Stands.

FotNS in turn took a lot of inspiration from Bruce Lee right? 70s and early 80s martial arts was all about the Bruce.

Bruce Lee playing Max Rockatansky, yes.

In the manga, Jotaro with his hat off in Part 3 is a serious dead ringer for Kenshiro.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

Yes, but we have to wait a year before we can in good conscience show it to people in the Anime thread

Persona 5 if it lives up to its potential and maybe ZTD if I ever get around to 999 and VLR and FFXV when Lighting-sama is confirmed in a cameo or ideally main protagonist role.

I like it whenever Star Platinum is really happy for some reason. :shobon:

This also goes for Star Platinum's poo poo-eating grin when he chucks Iggy at N'Doul.

Fake edit: if JoJo was released today, Iggy would probably have been renamed Twiggy Plop or something.

Star Platinum's best grin is probably when he punches the shark, which is appropriate.
