How much of Jojo is Araki finally hearing about these old myths and including them as part of the jojo plot?


If araki is still doing jojo in 10 years, how likely would it be that someone's stand is essentially slenderman or some equivalent thing

Literally everything in JoJo is Araki reading about something and deciding it's so cool that he wants to share it through his manga. Sometimes it's more obvious than others, all the poses are from Italian fashion magazines.

Well, I mean


I don't know how to phrase it, because yeah I agree with you, but I feel like that makes it sound like Araki isn't original which isn't true either so idk how to put it.

I know as far back as Cool Shock BT he was doing that poo poo tho with teaching kids how to knock out giant hornets so you can sneak them into peoples' pockets, and how to perform illusions so that you can play tricks on hitler cosplayers


And the trip they take in stardust crusaders is definitely inspired by the trip araki himself took to egypt

gently caress me, if Araki did creepypastas for Part 10, I'd die.

Give me someone whose Stand is a possessed creepy Pokemon game.

Give me Ben Drowned the Stand battle.

Oh I didn't mean to imply he's not being original, the way those ideas are used is the important part. But sometimes it's really obvious that he read about some cool thing and couldn't wait to put it in JoJo, like the sky fish stand in part 6.

It got Okuyasu after guessing some random Fairy Tail character but it got Valentine and Ringo right on the first try.

I could have sworn I got akinator to guess hol horse once but I tried to replicate my results and it gave me shalnark so there's that

e: I kept going after the first wrong guess and he got him with the second guess. Maybe Hol's not minor, really.

Akinator is kind of hosed now because it got so popular. It has such a huge database of characters (including tons of random youtubers nobody's heard of) that it now has trouble finding the correct one, since there's bound to be a few characters that are fairly similar.

I tried it with Tama, before Stray Cat, and it guessed 4 other black cats from anime and even Killer Queen. So close.

I'm like that people are speculating as to whether Kira is the main villain in the OP or what the OP's mean, but it's frustrating to me to read stuff way off base when answers are already freely available. I don't get what's fun in trying to guess something you can actually find out.

If you have all this time to read into something, or post about whatever at length, you can totally knock out 2 chapters of the manga.

Key word being mystery, "anything that is kept secret or remains unexplained or unknown".

It's not exactly a secret, unexplained or unknown if you want it that way. Just weird. I mean, more power to them.

Personally I'm loving all the speculation in the thread and I'm actually kinda glad they didn't read the manga first in a way.
