    Maybe the real Wonder of You was the calamities we found along the way
  • @HayatoStarGod
    Virgin : only find music references in Stand and Arc Names Chad Hamon Beat : find music references in manga panels, speech bubbles and characters poses I also just noticed that Poor Tom's color pallet matches with the Coda Album
  • @lezi5855
    I like how every Higashikata family member has the word "king" in their stand name King nothing, Nut King Call, Paper Moon King, California King Bed, and wal*king* heart
  • @littleblackrail
    There’s something so poetically brilliant about ‘Wonder of U’ being one of the most abjectly terrifying stands in all of JoJo, but also being based on one the most pleasant and heartwarming songs in the part.
  • @Lluvia1984
    I love how Araki altered "Mermaids Cry" to "Mamezuku Rai". Still unique for a japanese name, but convincing enough for me.
  • @luisandremo1953
    I love how everytime he comes back, he manages to find new references (such as Replayer and Freddy Mercury’s pose). It keeps it from getting repetitive or predictable
  • Me: this is going to be the same video as before, just with space trucking. Relayer - Yes: No
  • @beanzilla9513
    Man araki as got so many different songs in just one part that is completely random and not random at the same time
  • @eman_altpress
    Josuke himself is a musical reference, just think about it, first few chapters he liked sleeping while under "pressure" and he's technically a fusion of Kira and Josuke, Kira's design in part 4 is based off of David Bowie who performed with Freddie Mercury (who has gap teeth) when they both sang Under Pressure 🤔
  • @imshook3144
    Idk how to say this, but the fact that Jobin was inspired by an amazing artist from my country made me get interested in national music and in my own culture, which I see as an absolute win
  • @vr8652
    Other missed references - Soft & Wet is holding the JoJolion logo flag behind its back in the chapter 84 cover and volume 20 cover, which is in reference to how Elvis Presley posed with his cape. Josuke is doing the Jailhouse Rock Elvis pose in the chapter 88 cover and volume 21 cover. Chapter 98 is in the Led Zeppelin Coda font.
  • 6:34 Is this the first time that a character’s specific stand name song has been referenced in universe?
  • @lepurpleboi3266
    It’s kinda funny to think about what would happen if WoU and Chariot Requiem walked in the same direction. Two basically invincible stands trying to attack the other indirectly
  • @TriOdy
    Mamezuku Rai's name just being the Japanese pronunciation of Mermaid's Cry is nuts
  • @whellyo
    2:40 As a brazilian, i jumped of happiness when i discovered Jobin was a reference to (in my opinion) one of the best singers in Brazil, i hope Araki does more brazilian references in part 9 Como um brasileiro, eu pulei de alegria quando descobri que Jobin é uma referência á um dos (na minha opinião) melhores cantores do Brasil, eu espero que o Araki faça mais referências brasileiras na parte 9
  • @leander7775
    Soft & Wet has the best musical reference imo cause the song feels so "slippery" and fits with the stand name and appearance.

    2:09 [THE MATTE KUDASAI] how did you predict this two years ahead of time hamonbeat
