JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Difference between revisions

 

Western audiences are likely more familiar with the [[Memetic Mutation|memes]] the series has produced because of the series' general theme (read: [[World of Badass|badassery]]), as well as the [[Fighting Game]] from [[Capcom]] released in 1999 and the 10-episode OVA. Speaking of the fighting game, a leaked Xbox Live Arcade release list has revealed the existence of an HD port of it, which came as a big surprise to many as [[Capcom]] had lost the license after their endeavors with the series shifted to adventure games which did not sell well in Japan.{{not current}}

 

* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: At least, that's how Joseph reacts to the old woman who gets a crush on him during the Mariah sequence. She quickly switches gears though when Joseph and Abdul are [[Not What It Looks Like|trying to get themselves unstuck from each other]]...

* [[The Abridged Series]]: [http://www.youtube.com/user/AntfishTAS#p/u/0/v_GbKz0E8Nk A pretty damn funny one, too.] Now also has an entry here: [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Abridged]].

** One of Dio's special surprise attacks in Part 1 is to shoot vitreous humor (aka eye goop) from his eyes at the speed of a bullet. And whenever it happens, the reader is given a close-up as his eyes ''split open''.

* [[The Faceless]]: In Part 3, Dio's face is not shown until the final battles begin... even though he's clearly identified as Dio (the fighting game calls this version "Shadow Dio"). Midler, meanwhile, is never clearly seen at all. When ''she'' appeared in the fighting game, Araki had to design her from scratch.

* [[Faking the Dead]]: How does Jotaro do it against Dio? By having Star Platinum ''grab and stop his heart''. He is saved when Jean Pierre distracts Dio, allowing Star to massage Jotaro's heart and revive him.

* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: {{spoiler|Kars in Part 2, Yoshikage Kira in Part 4, and Diavolo in Part 5}}.
