Poor Waldo, a wanted war criminal and now a pedestrian in JoJo.
Wait, waldo is war criminal?!
And he doesn't pay taxes :'/
Someone needs to point out that Sex Pistols are the toon bullets from Who Framed Roger Rabbit
@@lucineidecarvalhodeoliveir5566 I hope so
And then became a scp
I love how the Spider-Man reference also seems to be a reference to the Raimi movies based off how the webs look
Since the Stone ocean manga runs during 2000~2003 it's highly possible that it's Araki's inspiration
Since Stone Ocean takes place during the 2010s, does that mean that he may be (retroactively) the Spider-Man from Spider-Man 4 (the film that was supposed to come out in 2011)?
@@angelbasiliorodriguezbusto2065 Spiderman 4 not being cancelled in the Jojo universe is a headcanon i'm willing to accept
what, you can only see the fingers? is there another appearance?

Things that all Joestars in the anime share:
-A star on the back
-Honor and respect
-Ability in battle
-Love for Baoh
TIL Joseph has honor
@@carnivorze1052 Joseph has honor he gave wamu a comfortable and respectable death even though he killed cesar
@@K1ngG1no it is respect. Hé respectes his ennemies
He has no honor, absolutelly no shame of running away, lying or using bad tricks
@@carnivorze1052 if he "respected" his enemies then he wouldn't have used underhand tricks/bad tricks
@@myusernameistrash8408 If he was an idiot he wouldn't have used underhanded tricks/genius tricks. War is deception.
7:48 Fun Fact: that panel of Vento Aureo is historically accurate, since Captain Tsubasa is extremely popular in Italy, and had several reruns in television.
Yes, as an Italian I confirm that the show was very popular since the 80s.
Ps. Fun fact: Here in Italy the anime is called Holly and Benji
@@Aries19974 Lo so, mi ha sempre disturbato come la nazionale giovanile giapponese era piena di nomi Americani. 😅
Thats makes it so much cooler!
I can say Captain Tsubasa is extremely popular everywhere in the world
except USA
@@pengen_gantinama Oh believe me, with how here in Italy football players are treated like Greek Gods, I can assure you that it was even ore popular in Italy than even Japan.
To this day I still love anasui screaming about Mickey Mouse
THIS SHIT AINT DISNEY
Chrishum
“If there’s no copyright lawyers, THIS SHIT AIN’T DISNEY”
Sadly it's unlikely that scene gonna adapted into anime for obvious reasons
@@huytungnguyen119 we might get warner bros characters or even original netflix characters though
@@Chrishum Anime version: “IF THERE IS NO BUGS BUNNY, THIS SHIT AINT WANER BROS!”
I have a feeling that Baoh will take Spider-Man’s place in the anime.
*perhaps*
Or Batman if they're gonna do what the rumours say and swap out Disney owned characters for Warner ones
@@drxshock6957 This shit really ain't gonna be Disney 😔
Plot twist: all the characters are going to be replaced by Baoh.
@@drxshock6957 so far that seems to be what they've done. Instead of Ermes listing Mickey Mouse's birthday, she lists Bugs Bunny's birthday. They most likely will replace Spider-Man with some DC character.
I love how the bully made fun of Josuke's pompodour despite having one
It’s probably how the pompadour was done instead
Josuke's pompadour was outdated that's why the bully made fun of him. In canon Josuke's style was from 11 years prior
Fist of the North Star was the biggest reference that got me addicted to Jojo( admittedly The Stardust Crusaders Capcom Arcade!)! From Jagi's Mask on Silver Chariot, right down to Dio and Jotaro's rivalry almost echoing Kenshiro and Shin. Thank you for this awesome video! There's alot of great references and inspirations I'd never known inspired Arakis work that's amazing to discover!
@@kylonbell123 you misinterpreted. I was saying the FOTNS reff was what got me into JoJo. Especially JoJos multihit attacks ( Muda,muda,muda & Ora,Ora,Ora, etc.) paying nod to Kenshiro's Atatataah!
@@LowellLucasJr. Ah i see now my bad bro.
Fun fact: there's even a Fist of the North Star fighting game developed by *Arc System Works!* Both that game and JoJo: HFTF are the main catalysts for me getting into Manga in the first place, and I'm sure glad I did.
@@AceTrainerX3 That fighting game was awesome! Aside from Guilty Gear, they also did Sengoku Basara X; a fighting game adaptation Capcom commissioned them!
Those are some fun references
Probably not intentional on Araki’s part but Joseph using hermit purple in SC to swing off buildings in Cairo always gave me Spider-man vibes. Like I said, probably not intentional but we know one of Joseph’s hobbies was collecting comic books so my head canon has always been that Joseph read Spider-man and wanted to try web-swinging with hermit purple when his stand manifested.
I think that has more in common with the way Indiana Jones used his whip to swing. As a matter of fact, old Joseph's design pretty heavily carries Indiana Jones vibes, so that might be an intentional direction.
I really hope the part 6 anime can still keep the references. Bohemian rhapsody just wouldn't be the same.
Some people suggested that if the anime cannot retain the references due to licensing/copyright shenanigans, they could reference Araki's other works or maybe Warner Bros characters instead. I love that idea, but we will have to wait and see.
Bohemian rhapsody more like copyright makwr
I hope so, I want to see Mazinger Z, Tetsujin 28, and Astroboy flying in the sky together.
8:40
"Holy shit Weather, it's big chungus!"
The Intro never gets old
6:19 Cell debuted in February of 1992, his second form in May 1992, while Echoes Act 1 debuted in October
All that is missing is how the "F-Mega" game that Telence D'Arby plays against Kakyoin in Part 3 is a very blatant reference to F-Zero for the SNES
but that's a game, not a comic or animation...
But several years ahead of the real game's release
@@anueutsuho7425 The part was still going in 1991, and F Zero released in Japan in 1990.
@@boianko I know, but the part takes place in 1989
@@anueutsuho7425 Younger D'Arby is just that much of a gamer
I honestly have to thank JoJo for introducing me to Fist of the North Star
I can't wait for Bohemian Rhapsody in the anime, looking forward to seeing how they handle that arc.
Maybe they will add a lot of Warner Bros references since they are involved with the anime adaptations of Jojo.
They'll probably lean more on the public domain characters and only show bauge glimpses of the more popular and difficult to include ones like Spidey and Mickey
@@koruoshouji9960 "This shit ain't Looney Tunes if there's no Bugs!"
inb4 mickey is replaced with big chungus
Big chungus got killed by 2 balls made out of Batman's face whilst Jolyne Cujoh is shitting on the floor
(And also Pucci is confused too)
It's also interesting to note that Spider-Man is coloured in the same style as the version in the Tobey Maguire version with the silver webbing which would line up with the rough time frame of the film's release and the release of the manga itself
& Araki has talked with Sam Raimi in an interview together at the start of Steel Ball Run's serialization (2004)
What I like the most about this is how Araki doesn't actually remember writing his own manga or what influenced him for certain.
Taking inspiration can be subconscious thing, like accidentally making a character that looks like that one character from a show you watched 10 years ago. I think remotely remembering what influences him is very impressive
@@stzechmagenta1340 And even if it's not subconscious, you can't remember everything.
Hell, I can barely remember what was my inspirations for my OCs at times and I only created them like 6 years ago at most.
@@stzechmagenta1340 sounds likely. As time passes, it's getting increasingly harder to come up with truly original concepts as almost everything has been done before to a certain extent, the art of writing fiction is to leave your own mark on it and getting inspired without completely copying something. Jojo's is a good example because even though the series has been influenced by other media, Araki managed to make something original out of it.
@@stzechmagenta1340 that often happen to me when designing characters, sometimes I feel bad about it when realizing it
It's simple araki forgor 💀
moral of the story: araki likes fist of the north star
I knew or suspected a lot of things but the Moomins was a surprise.
I always thought Silver Chariot's design was influenced by the cover album for Judas Priest "Painkiller"
Stardust Crusaders began serialization in 1988, two years before that album, not too far off though..
Interesting stuff, especially the huge Enki Bilal influence on the series. There is one reference you forgot to mention, but it's also something that a lot of people tend to overpass when reading/watching Jojo. In chapter 1 and episode 1 of Stardust Crusaders, there's an officer with a unibrow and broad-ish face. It's pretty obvious that that's a cameo/reference to Ryotsu from Kochikame, aka one of the longest running Jump manga.
Now, this is what i call reverse jojo reference
Me: Where's Waldo?
DIO: With the birds
JoJo references everything and everything is a JoJo's reference
Very excited to see One Piece related things some time. Episode 1000 today was incredible, as well as the most recent chapter. I'm sure you'll have some interesting thoughts on the story.
Keep up the great work. Love the content.
Glad to see Araki enjoys Enki Bilal comics, he is one of the greatest cartoonists in France.
Kinnikuman was/is one of my all time favorite series and being reminded of Kinnikuman throwing a [road roller] at Meat being an inspiration for the famous final attack of DIO brings me an endless amount of joy.
It's a crime this channel doesn't have more subs
polnareff San striking the meter strike goku pose is amazing
Yes it is
Now I'M MAD FRIEZAAA
Glad someone else got that reference
Another reference: in Part 4, the car that the folded wad of Koichi was an AE86 Trueno. Most likely an Initial D reference as by the end of Part 4's run, Shuichi Shigeno had just started releasing Initial D
I LOVE how Araki made the reference to Oliver Tsubasa in like the best way possible like Latin country’s just love football and that anime was the only anime everyone enjoyed unanimously like it’s so perfect
Dude I wanna see Araki draw Spider-Man for real so bad.
I remember when Rubber Soul was pretending to be Kakyoin and the other guy tried to steal his wallet, Rubber Soul attcked him using a move similar to the Tower Bridge, the titular move from Robin Mask in the Kinnikuman anime/manga.
Polnareff "becoming" a turtle may be a reference to the cartoon Touché Turtle? Since it is a musketeer turtle and Polnareff and Silver Chariot are heavily inspired by The Three Musketeers...
Could you do a video covering works inspired by Jojo, such as Scryed, Persona and the later chapters of Yuyu Hakusho? The latter's arc, dealing with psychic powers and territory just echoes a stand!
Hunter x Hunter is also heavily inspired (Some characters of the Chimera Ants arc and the current War of Succession arc are the best examples). By the way, HxH was why I decided to give JoJo a chance, after hearing good stuff about JoJo from HxH fans (because the fanbase makes JoJo looks like, well, something that it is definitely not)
Street Fighter Characters like Guile inspired by Stroheim
@@Samstar369 Rosa from Street Fighter is totally based on Lisa Lisa
@@Samstar369 yeah I heard about that. Same with bennimarus ( KOF) hairdo being inspired by Polneriff.
i love that araki is a huge geek that embraces it and incorporates all that he loves
Fist of the North Star has multiple JoJo characters in it's cast.
Jotaro/Kenshiro, Polnareff/Rei, Speedwagon/Shin, & Reimi/Lin
Jotaro is based off of some Clint Eastwood characters.
How did you in good conscience say Jotaro was inspired by Kenshiro when Jonathan exists
Caesar's death is veerrrrrry similar to Shuu's from FotNS
I was too much hyped up when I saw spiderman in part 6.
so Mickey Mouse and Waldo are cannon In JoJo... amazing
I have to be honest the evangelion reference was nice and all of the db references surprised me
lol the fact cell and echoes were at the same time, such a coincidence
This is the reason why I believe that Jojo in and of itself, the biggest crossover and fanfiction of all time.
Imagine you are creating a very cool, Creative, and unique manga series but also put in a lot of references of multiple things. Yes I think we can say for sure araki is a pro in his work.
There seems to be a good amount of Kinnikuman references in Jojo, seeing as its one of the biggest inspiration for a lot of shonen and was why manga like Yu Yu Hakusho shifted to a Tournment Arc. Theres also a good amount of characters in Jojo that take inspiration from it and may also be why part 3 has a more multinational cast and settings. A few characters that could possibly have inspiration from Kinnikuman characters would be Joseph who shares many characteristics to the main character Kinniku and Polnareff who could draw inspiration from the character Terryman as they share a similar kind of introduction and development in the main cast.
5:00 makes sense because waldo sounds like warudo
Thank you for compiling such a comprehensive visual references!! Really appreciated and highly useful! Btw 5:26 refers to Atom‘s hair and we can’t see it as his black blends into the black background. I’ve known it already so I took that as a charming point :))))
I hope videos like this get at least a few people into Fist Of The North Star. It deserves so much more attention.
Hamon Beat uploading 5vids in 1 month?
The JoJo Gods must've blessed us.
Enki Bilal is very underrated it's amazing that Araki was a big fan of him
5:30 I like how its black hair on black background so you don’t know what astro boy’s hair looks like
The amount of research you do is unreal. Keep like that you are doing an excelent work.
9:42 I remember people saying that the dororo anime copied Jojo when it came out💀 it was so dumb
It's even funnier with Osomatsu references knowing that several voice actors that voiced JOJO characters also voiced characters in Osomatsu-san.
I love all your videos Hamon Beat! always excited to watch no matter what the subject
One day I realized that Chilli pepper did indeed look a lot like Freeza
it's so dope to recognize something u know while watching the series
It's official, everything is a Jojo reference
Pokemon and jojo combined
It's more like Jojo is a singularity point in which all references go to and that references everything that comes after
@@Fidorr I mean Pokemon did reference Jojo when Meowth did all those poses so..... 🤣
@SmashBros2009 i know its kinda cool
@@SmashBros2009 stands = pokemon
I also heard there is a moment in Kinniku-Man where someone stops their heart, just like Jotaro?
My favorite coincidence is that while the Part 4 anime was airing, so was Osomatsu-san, making the joke just as relevant then as it was in the manga, if not more so.
Chillie Pepper is packing in the thumbnail
Great analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
I like your videos because you take actual effort doing them
this taught me how to pronounce "versailles"
Literally the whole bohemian rhapsody fight
I believe there was also a Mickey Mouse toy during the fight against Storts Maxx in Stone Ocean.
Araki is such a cool guy. He can just reference musicians and Mickey Mouse with no fear
Great content. I look forward to meals when I get to watch one of your videos.
Dude i love your content
kinnikuman is as bizarre/awesome as jojo! love it
Yo, THE WORLD doing the Kamehameha pose is dope.
This was really awesome
Great video!
I finally know the name of the song in your intro it is crazy my beat by coda
in his book manga in theory and practice araki talks about the kinnikuman authors being inspirational since they were successful 16-year-olds in his age group at the start of the manga which gave him hope to keep drawing.
Well kinnikuman was basically an inspiration for any mangaka of the time. It is literally the creation of the battle mangas. Before then most mangas were about sports, police/action themed, or comedy. Kinnikuman's authors did something that no one did before them in the manga industry and it's for this big step that later manga like Dragon Ball or One Piece became a thing
Baoh being popular in the jojo universe makes his appearance in ASBR's jojolion finale fight so much more confusing
Also im so happy someone realized the resemblance between blue hawaii and sachiel
Great video as always see you in the next one.🤝
I expected the manga, anime, and Disney references, but those BD references hit me outta left field
Araki is truly a man of culture
the way hamon beat says "beans" is so intruiging to me
Wouldn't be surprised if Bucciarati/Buccellati was also inspired from Iyami (with Will A Zeppeli)
A video at this hour? A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Could the snail thing also be a reference to the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "I Was A Teenage Gary?"
In that episode SpongeBob and Squidward turn into snails
Araki watched SpongeBob LMAO
Lmao this would be funny
Did Spongebob even exist when that part came out?
@@emblemblade9245 yes
I wouldn't be surprised tbh
6:19 the way echoes acts 1 and 2's tail are designed compared to imperfect cell and semi perfect cells tail honestly can't feel like a coincidence
Its kind of wild to think about how JoJo its just like 2 years younger than Dragon Ball and older than berserk, for some reason its something that blow my mind.
I really hate how copyright and legal nonsense effects artists ability to create. But i really love these videos and your channel! Lol
The hamon beat is sick
chads like hamon beat 👍
Another 🔥 video
I read through some of the comments and no one had said this, in the cheap trick arc from part 4, Rohan mentioned about not wanting anyone to look at your back is similar to the manga series Golgo 13
God damn you, Araki. For making Fist of a North a Star a joke to all.
My favourite bit was when he says “fist of the North Star”
I've heard people say Phantom Blood is a Hokuto No Ken fan-fiction and part of me agrees.
i knew it, i knew JoJo part 3 is one big Hokuto No Ken reference..
just the oraoraora alone feels so inspired by the atatatatata omae wa mou shindeiru
Please keep using Finding the Truth for your vids, it's a great song and works really well with your content
I like Osomatsu San so that’s pretty cool that Araki got some design inspiration from it
It's funny that American manga fans seem to have noticed Ginga Nagareboshi Gin "just recently". It has had it's strong fan base for surprisingly long while not being a mainstream hit (in Nordic countries it's actually bigger than JoJo though).
King Crimson's character design seems to be heavily based on the armor-less Eva01 from Evangelion
I honestly don't see it except for the eyes maybe.
I recently saw the Italian food episode of JoJo's. and in the anima Okuyasu actually compares the food to Abbott and Costello. Just a fun little bit of trivia.
i'd love to see you finish up this series with a summary of references to art and fashion
I had no idea they mentioned kenshiro during the bohemian rhapsody arc guess I didn’t notice that dialogue
