JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Difference between revisions

** Fugo in Part 5 had a pretty unbeatable Stand, which is why he had to get taken out before they went up against the [[Big Bad]]

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: in Part 3, during the confrontation with Wheel of Fortune.

'''Jotaro''': Ha... Then who's going to replace me as the main character? }}

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Jonathan. The poor bugger can't catch a break.

** As noted in [[Body Horror]] above, THE EYES, ALWAYS WITH THE EYES!!! From piercing to cutting to BECOMING A FLOWER, always with the eyes!

** Present in Part III, ''Stardust Crusaders'' (a.k.a., the [[Jojo]] manga released in the U.S.), quite early on in the series...

** One of Dio's special surprise attacks in Part One 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.

* [[Kiai]]: Dio Brando's "Wryyyyyy!" The most famous version is from the popular flash-movie with it.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Dio, many times, and sometimes literally. In Part 3 he forces a rich guy (senator) to drive him around Cairo, after killing the guy's driver, regardless of who gets in the way.

Dio: ''So? Do it.'' }}

** Hell, Dio's first act upon meeting Jonathan is to kick Danny when he comes over to him.

* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: D'ARBY!!

* [[Mythology Gag]]: Mixed in with [[Fridge Brilliance]]. Joseph Joestar's stand, Hermit Purple, allows him to use some unique methods of divination. It's basically an expansion of his ability to predict what his opponent will say next.

''' {{spoiler|The Empress}}''': No, anything but that!...HUH?! }}

** ...Or, that prediction ability was due to Hermit Purple being only mostly dormant back in 1939...

* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure/Shout Out|With its own page.]]

* [[Shut Up, Kirk]]: This exchange from part 1, a favorite among fans:

'''Dio:''' ''Do you remember every piece of bread you've ever eaten?'' }}

** Gets a [[Shout-Out]] in Marisa's scenario in ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'', the sixth game in the ''[[Touhou]]'' series:

'''Marisa:''' [[Subverted Trope|Thirteen times.]]] I prefer Japanese food. }}

* [[Spam Attack]]: "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORAAAAAAAA!" "MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDAAAAAAA!" Though, frankly, every humanoid Stand can do this to some extent.

* [[Time Stands Still]]: Both Dio's <s>The World</s> [[Memetic Mutation|ZA WARUDO!]] and {{spoiler|Jotaro's Star Platinum}} have this ability, although Dio can only stop time for a few seconds at first. It's mentioned that if he hadn't been beaten, he eventually would've been able to stop time for as long as he wanted.

* [[Those Wacky Nazis]]: Stroheim and his group. Keep in mind, they're the ''good guys'', helping to defeat the Pillar Men for the sake of the world. GERMAN SCIENCE!!

* [[Tongue-Tied]]: The Talking Heads stand has this as its power. Crosses with [[Cannot Spit It Out]] as Narancia desperately tries to figure out a way to circumvent its ability and warn the others about a different enemy Stand.

* [[Training From Hell]]: Sometimes you feel sorry for the main characters when you see how they're taught. In Series 2, Joseph Joestar had to climb up a tower with his bare hands, [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|while said tower gushed oil]] (more like vegetable oil than crude oil) from the top, making it too slick for a normal person to even attempt climbing. Joseph Joestar does it with his fingertips, though it takes him 'four consecutive days'.
