Funny Anime Pictures but It Was Me Dio

The meme that took ZA WARUDO by storm.

Also known, called, and referred to as "Jojokes".

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is without question the most Meme'd manga to ever run in Shonen Jump. Exploding in popularity overseas when the anime released, the bizarre nature of the series makes it perfect for Memetic Mutation.

Format to use:

Pages for individual parts:

  • Phantom Blood

     In General

  • <—To Be Continued— - -/Roundabout Explanation Playing a video to the tune of the first few bars of "Roundabout" (the ending theme to the Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency anime adaptations) and pausing it when the bass comes in, applying a sepia tone and placing an arrow with "To Be Continued" written on it in the lower-left corner, sometimes sliding in from the right side of the screen. This meme, which is especially popular on Vine, is meant to mimic the various cliffhangers of each episode of Parts 1 and 2, with the arrow being taken directly from the show.
  • Don't skip parts. Explanation The Jojo fandom dislikes skipping parts wholesale without giving them a fair shot, especially after Geoff Thew/ Mother's Basement did a controversial recap/primer video before Golden Wind began airing that encouraged skipping parts 1 and 2 almost entirely. Admitting to skipping parts tends to earn derision from some sections of the fandom.
  • Part [x] [character], Part [x] [character]. Explanation Due to Character Development and Art Evolution, characters who appear in multiple parts are often referred to as Part X [character]. (e.g. Part 2 Joseph, Part 3 Joseph and Part 4 Joseph are all very different people). This naming trend eventually evolved, and as such, each Part became synonymous with its own unique art style; Parts 1-3 practically being a World of Muscle Men; Part 7 & 8 with a Cast Full of Pretty Boys. As such, 'Part 1 Jonathan' is extremely, unrealistically muscular, while 'Part 8 Jonathan' (An illustration by Araki late in his career) is slim, twinkish, and pretty much unrecognizable . This Art-Style Dissonance is made fun of by fans, with characters often edited to match every other Part, to horrendously excellent results.
  • This song now belongs to the JoJo fandom. Explanation Courtesy of the Colbert Bump for each of the ending songs for each Part, as well as the myriad of references to famous singers, albums, bands, and songs as part of the series' Musical Theme Naming. We beg you to not take a shot for every time there's a Jojo reference in the comments section below a video of one of the many musical namesakes, such as Killer Queen.
    • This comment section is property of PASSIONE/gay mafia. Explanation A variant of the meme for Stands in Part 5.
    • JoJo incoming. Explanation Since the anime uses popular English songs for the endings, the YouTube comments section for that video will be flooded by JoJo fans and much meme speaking.
  • Only JoJo can make [x] epic. Explanation Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has a habit of turning mundane activities, such as poker and rock-paper-scissors, into intense, high-stake games that often appear ridiculous out of context, hence the expression. Said expression increased in popularity after the release of two OVA adaptations of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan created by David Productions, each giving a similar treatment to the mere acts of catching popcorn in your mouth and running on treadmills respectively.
  • Whenever an argument about who would beat whom in a fight comes up, the answer is always Giorno. Along with The Flash, he's perhaps the person most commonly brought up in power level debates. Explanation Giorno's Stand, Gold Experience, has an incredibly powerful skill set (with the vague power of "Giorno can imbue life in inanimate objects," which can go as far as Giorno regrowing limbs and organs mid-fight), even just limiting oneself to the powers Giorno didn't forget as the Part went on. As such, especially considering his 11th-Hour Superpower in Gold Experience Requiem, Giorno's widely considered one of the strongest characters in the franchise and on or above Superman/Goku tier in internet fight arguments.
    • At least until Eyes of Heaven, where he met Heaven Ascension DIO.
    • Alternatively, Poco Loco will always win thanks to Hey Ya! Explanation The only actual power of Hey Ya! is that it gives its user positive reinforcement, and is easily the weakest stand in the entire series. However, Poco Loco did win first place in the Steel Ball Run, making it popular to say that positive reinforcement can overcome even Gold Experience Requiem or Heaven Ascension DIO.
  • Jokes about Hirohiko Araki being way younger-looking than he really is; the man's in his sixties and still looks 20 . Enter quips about him being a Hamon user or a vampire.
  • I Win. Explanation A common trait for most villains in the series is to explicitly shout "I Win" when they believed their victory was achieved, only to be completely blindsided by the heroes followed by their inevitable defeat. Especially popular with Rohan, since he gets a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from Josuke immediately after saying this.
  • The series' distinctive drawing style has become a meme.
    • Similarly, if someone randomly throws around the Japanese "dramatic tension" Unsound Effects ゴゴゴゴゴ (GO GO GO GO GO) and ドドドドド (DO DO DO DO DO), it's guaranteed to be a JoJo reference. Thanks to the anime, photoshopping said unsound effects into pictures has also taken off. Thanks to subtitles for the anime, which actually bothered translating the Unsound Effects, "MENACING" has become its own meme.
      • "He's just standing there...MENACINGLY!" Explanation Naturally, it quickly became common to mix it with an equally memetic line from SpongeBob SquarePants.
  • "Out of Function/Retire(再起不能/リタイア)" note The words that are used in narration as the status of the villains who were defeated by heroes, but end up alive or worse.
  • Araki's habit of drawing the characters in very weird poses, such as Diavolo's final pose (when he's running from the little girl), Giorno's "gang-star" pose, and Anasui's model-esque pose, has also spawned some memes.
    • "The Hawkeye Initiative? Sorry, but I already read JoJo."
  • Joseph's penchant for provocative clothing and poses even by the manga's usual standards (especially in promos) has led to more than a few stripper jokes . It's since spiraled into prostitution jokes in the same vein as the edits from K-On!.
  • "Giant bara deer": A term for the musclebound men in the first parts of JoJo that arose after this animated .gif of Jonathan appeared on /a/ with the filename "giant_bara_deer_caught_in_headlights.gif".
  • You are a worthless child, Jonathan. Explanation Based on Dio's initial low opinion on Jonathan and from Kikuo's song "Kimi wa Dekinai Ko", which is popular fodder for MMD videos.
  • Anything Joseph says with Gratuitous English, the fans shall never forget.
    • "Niiiiiice!" "OOOHH NOOOOO!" "OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD!" "HORYYY SHIIIIIT!" "SENUBDEBEEETCH!"
    • SANADA BITCH! Explanation Joseph's one time gratuitous saying "SON OF A BITCH!" can be misread as such. It's one of the more popular mishearings, and sounds like it's referring to the bitch of someone named 'Sanada' (for example, Sanada Yukimura)
    • HERMITO PURPURU! Explanation Joseph's Stand - while everyone who summons their Stand engages in Gratuitous English, Joseph's hamminess makes it far more memetic.
    • A significant number of jokes have also been made about Joseph's daughter being named Holly, such as Suzie Q telling him to change her diapers and Joseph going "Holly's shiiiiit!"
    • "TAG! Hellooo, how are you? Happy, joy-py, nice to meetcha-py!"
  • This must be the work of an enemy Stand! Explanation The usual (and correct) assumption for anything that happens during and after Stardust Crusaders.
  • Expect 「people」 who talk about Jojo to at least write a 「sentence」 with words closed by 「Japanese quotation marks」 and formatted in bold. Occasionally used to determine if someone has a 「Stand」.
  • Araki hates dogs. Explanation In a pretty literal example of Kick the Dog, some poor canine has been killed by an antagonist in just about every arc: Dio puts Jonathan's dog Danny into an incinerator; dogs are killed by the Stands Yellow Temperance, Death 13, and Pet Shop's Horus (who kills two) in Part 3, with Team Pet Iggy also dying in the finale, while not a dog, DIO dismembering a cat and putting them in people's foods during the Time Stop to kill Joseph; Starter Villain Angelo of Part 4 bites off a dog's face, Yoshikage Kira killing Reimi Sugimoto's dog Arnold before the events of Part 4, a wolf pup is shot by Magenta Magenta in Part 7... The only notable exception is Kars, who saves a dog from getting run over in Part 2; this further mutated into jokes about Kars being an extreme animal lover who's horrified by the other villains' actions. Ironically, Araki is actually quite fond of dogs, and uses the literal Kick the Dog as a measure for how despicable his villains are meant to be.
  • Araki loves donuts. Explanation (spoilers!) Something almost as frequent as dogs dying are characters getting holes punched through their chests, hence the donut jokes. To list of those that have had holes punched through their chests, both lethal and nonlethal; DIO (twice), Wamuu, Stroheim, Kakyoin, Tomoko, Keicho, Bug-Eaten, Koichi, Bruno (twice), Abbacchio, Trish's Spice Girl, Weather Report, Narciso Anasui.
  • The series is well known for being Reference Overdosed, especially when it comes to shout outs to classic rock, so fans sometimes like to add even more classic rock references into their fanwork. For example:
    • Episode 1 of the Abridged version of Phantom Blood accompanies a sad Speedwagon scene with a song by his namesake.
    • Dio is often swapped out with his namesake.

    You thought it was Ozzy Osbourne, but it was I, Ronnie James Dio!

    • The subtitles for the DUWANG'd version of "JoJo ~Sono Chi no Sadame~" are the lyrics to "Get Back".
    • Ever since musical references were made much more blatant in Part 4, it's very common for fans to just simply say "this is my stand, [Insert random music-based song/album/artist here]!" (which normally involves names that Araki has not used in the current manga just yet). In the exact same vein, Sailor Earth Stands can serve as Fanfic Fuel — see The 7th Stand User or White Dark Life for just a few examples.
  • Abbacchio+Rohan+F.F=Egg Explanation A combination of the former two's headgears and the latter's Anime Hair is noted to resemble an egg.
  • "Read the manga." Explanation A phrase that has become super common with the release of the Stardust Crusaders anime. Part 3 is very old at this point, with every possible spoiler becoming a Late-Arrival Spoiler. Simply put, if someone posted an angry response to a spoiler for the anime, it would often be rebuked with the phrase "Read the manga."
  • When the 1997 oneshot American comic Diesel, a hilariously blatant ripoff of the N'Doul fight from Stardust Crusaders (complete with powers literally called Stands), was discovered by the Internet, it was naturally subject to immediate memetic status and derision.
  • "Is this a JoJo reference?" Explanation Lots of media seems to have shown similar stuff to JoJo causing people to ask this question a lot. Pokémon Sun and Moon caused this to blow up. Initially used to acknowledge Shout-Out's, this meme has since been used ironically as a way to mock fans who see JoJo references in everything, including mundane activities like a man pointing ordinarily or talking about "the world" in the context of an ordinary conversation.
    • (Thing) (Tenuous link to JJBA) What a (adjective) Jojoke! Explanation Snowclone commonly found in YouTube comment sections, in reference to this meme.
    • IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING JOJO REFERENCE?! Explanation Sarcastically used when a reference is made that is explicitly linked to JoJo- i.e. using character pictures, plot lines, or lines from the show. It cannot be mistaken for anything else but a reference.
    • Is this a Jay Jay's Crazy Journey reference? Explanation Referring to the series with similar names and synonymous words.
  • Crossing over different western cartoons (usually Looney Tunes, of all series) with JJBA has been a meme for a while, such as making characters doing weird poses and/or dressed up weirdly into stands and naming them after certain songs. For example, there's been fanart of Daffy Duck and Tom Cat dressed in zoot suits and made to look like Jojo characters on 4chan and it began to explode from that point. Reached its apex when, in the official 40th anniversary Garfield book, a fan art of Garfield dressed as Jotaro and Jon as Star Platinum appeared.
  • "What is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure?" "Yes." Explanation JJBA in itself is a very difficult series to explain, so fans often jokingly answer "Yes" when asked to explain JJBA.
    • Doubles as a Stealth Pun, considering that "Roundabout" is the end song for the anime.
  • Araki forgot. Explanation Hirohiko Araki has a habit of introducing character traits, abilities, and other apparent Chekhovs Guns that are never brought up again outside of their introduction. Whenever someone asks about these, the common answer is that Araki forgot. This was not helped by Araki's self-admitted bad memory . The meme became a point of contention later on, due to several using it as a way to nitpick the series and accuse Araki of being a bad writer (sometimes based on things already explained in the story), resulting in ironic use to make fun of said people.
  • Due to Dub Name Change while Writing Around Trademarks for Stand names, it's not uncommon to see fans bring up a Stand's original name, and for subsequent fans to jokingly come up with increasingly ridiculous names derived from all forms of synonyms, such as turning "Black Sabbath" into "Dark Saturday", "Sex Pistols" into "Intercourse Ammunition" or "Killer Queen, Bites the Dust" into "Murderous Monarch, Masticates the Minerals". note The actual dub names for these Stands were Shadow Sabbath, Six Bullets, and Deadly Queen Bites the Dust, respectively.
  • Thanks to the excessive amount of Friendly Fandoms, many fans also see the series as a main staple of being a shared universe to all of the Anime existed.
  • The first teaser for The Rise of Skywalker revealed a new cute droid called D-0, pronounced identically to "Dio." The reaction was exactly what you would expect.
  • John Wick is a Jojo Explanation Following the reveal of the titular hero's actual birth name as Jardani Jovanovic in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Jojo fans noticed that if the first name of his current alias and the last name of his original identity are put together, they create "John Jovanovic". Jokes about him being the new protagonist of Part 9 inevitably emerged, as well as fanart of him alongside a Stand of his very own (often one resembling a dog). Considering that both series have villains that literally Kick the Dog, the similarities got even more hilarious, and it doesn't help that Keanu Reeves himself likes anime and took a photograph next to Hatsune Miku.
  • [X] is a Jojo Explanation Following the John Wick example, any other fictional or real-life historical character who has the syllable "Jo" twice in their name (either directly or via translation) can also be declared a Jojo. For example, Saladin's birth name was Yusuf ibn Ayyub ("Salah ad-Din" is an epithet meaning "Righteousness of the Faith", not part of his actual name). His Arabic name translates to English as "Joseph son of Job". Another example is Marie Antoinette, whose full name in her native German was Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna.
  • For some strange reason, King Ghidorah from Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) has somehow become memetically associated with DIO, whether it be because of his gold color scheme, his vampiric, life-draining abilities, or his threatening poses during the battles against Godzilla. It's even become somewhat popular for gijinka fanart of Ghidorah to be based upon DIO.
  • Apple's $999 Pro Stand Explanation The announcement that Apple would be selling the monitor stand in question for such an absurd price was widely mocked by the Jojo fandom, with many joking about Apple selling an actual Stand for $999, as well as how buying $999 worth of Jojo merchandise is still a better choice than buying a single, overpriced monitor stand.
  • Jojo Rabbit's Bizarre Adventure Explanation The trailer for Jojo Rabbit — a film about a boy living in Nazi Germany whose imaginary friend is Hitler — predictably drew plenty of JJBA references in the comments, some joking about the title being a theme naming of "Jojolion" but with different animals, while others compared the German kid with Stroheim. Some would also jokingly ask if the film is about "bunnies with Stands".
  • Jojo's Daddy Issues Adventure Explanation Every main character of JJBA save Gappy have issues with their fathers: Jonathan felt like he was The Unfavorite, Joseph never knew his father, Jotaro's father was always on tour, Josuke learned about Joseph when he was a teenager, Giorno was abused by his stepfather (until the Mafia stepped in) and never knew about DIO and Jonathan, Jolyne is furious at Jotaro for always working and Johnny is The Unfavorite.
  • Honda Dio and Honda Giorno Explanation There are motor scooters produced by Honda, literally named the Honda Dio and the Giorno 15.htm Honda Giorno. Of course, it goes without saying that Jojo fans had a field day with this info.
  • YAKAMASHI!!! You're so damn annoying! Explanation Jotaro has said "shut the hell up!" on numerous occasions, most with nearly the exact same inflection. The quote or scene of Jotaro yelling said quote is a common reaction to things that the fandom finds annoying.
  • Cloud Atlas is a Jojo reference. Explanation In the film, six characters from different time periods have their own separate arcs within a single storyline, and share a star-shaped birthmark. The comparisons to Jojo were pretty much expected, especially with the first three time periods being around the same time as those of JJBA.
  • Superfly and Tower of Gray Explanation The Tower of Gray stand from part 3 looks like a large fly-like insect. The Superfly stand from part 4 is a pylon. Of course fans were going to joke about how their names describe each other much better then they describe themselves.
    • AC/DC and Red Hot Chili Pepper Explanation There have also been jokes made about how the names of Esidisi and Red Hot Chili Pepper describe each other's powers better than they do their own.
  • PAW PATROL HAS A JOJO REFERENCE Explanation The children's cartoon PAW Patrol has an episode set in a haunted house where four animated suits of armor briefly strike unmistakable Jojo poses in a Freeze-Frame Bonus. Given that the show is aimed at preschoolers, the inclusion of such a blatant reference to a kid-unfriendly series became quickly memetic in the fandom, with many fans joking about the main characters — who are all dogs — being in mortal danger given Jojo's infamously brutal treatment of canines.
  • "The Stand user could be anyone." Explanation A warning that crops up multiple times in the series which falls rather flat considering most Stand users are eccentric, flamboyant, garishly-dressed hams that stick out like sore thumbs even before they reveal their powers.
  • Yet another Rohan OVA / Rohan Kishibe goes to Costco Explanation A reveal event in 2020, which many fans were expecting to be the Stone Ocean anime, ended up being for a Rohan OVA. Due to this, it's become a meme that Rohan has essentially become a Spotlight-Stealing Squad and all future animated works will focus on his daily life. Prior to the reveal of Stone Ocean anime, there were also jokes that the Joestars Inherited Soul event would also just reveal a Rohan OVA.
  • The Joestars Inherited Soul event, which also revealed the Stone Ocean anime, featured some hilariously inaccurate autogenerated subtitles (this image contains some of the best ones). The subs were quickly deemed the successor to Duwang.
    • "John Cena vs. Diablo, King of Crimson"
    • "The Toaster Family"
    • "long nipples"
    • "Jew Stars"
  • Jojo characters after fighting a guy who can [x] Explanation A series of captioned images that parodies the general nature of Stand battles in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure; the heroes fight a Villain of the Week who possesses a seemingly harmless Stand with a laughably absurd ability and a very specific trigger condition for said ability — such as the power to make your opponent's nipples lactate mayonaisse, but only if you chug an entire bottle of coconut-scented shampoo while watching Family Guy at 3:14 in the morning — yet somehow always finds a way to leave them badly beaten and mutilated.

     Animated Adaptations (OVA, David Productions Anime)

  • Dio loves 7Up. Explanation There's a shot in the 90s OVA that makes it look like Dio is a fan of the soda 7Up, since he smirks and the very next shot is of him looking at the nearby rooftop, sign right in his line of sight (in actuality, he's just pursuing Joseph and Kakyoin and managed to spot them), so in certain circles it's treated as his Trademark Favorite Food aside from, y'know, blood. Occasionally turns into shipping him with it.
    • In the Part 4 anime, a billboard shows a logo for Pepsi, and fans tend to associate Yoshikage Kira with Pepsi in the same way Dio is associated with 7Up.
  • "It's an enemy Stand!" Explanation In the English dub of the OVA, during the fight with N'Doul, the pilot gets his head gorily pulled off by Geb. Dramatic music plays and Jotaro exclaims "It's an enemy stand!" in perfect syncopation with the music.
  • AWAKEN, MY MASTERS!/MEZAMETAMAE, WAGA ARUJITACHI YO!/目覚めたまえッ!我が主たちよ! Explanation Wamuu shouts this line when waking up two Pillar Men, Kars and Esidisi. What makes this moment is both Akio Ōtsuka's delivery of said line and the fabulous poses the three Pillar Men take once they're awakened, the fact that Wamuu awakens them by making his own fabulous pose while poking their cheeks with his fingers, and in the anime, the dubstep-laden music (fittingly titled "Awake") playing over it.
  • Calling Wamuu's Holy Sandstorm attack the "Holy Wubstorm", after the Pillar Men's dubstep leitmotif.
  • Shadow Jotaro Explanation The Stardust Crusaders anime covers Jotaro's mouth with a black circle whenever he smokes, probably because he's underage. Pic related.
  • With the TV anime premiere of Stardust Crusaders, it's become popular to swap out Dio's Hermit Purple-generated photo with just about anything else .
  • "You had one job, woman! ONE JOB!" Explanation At the end of Battle Tendency, Joseph arrives at his own funeral with Suzie Q, revealing they got married. When everyone reacts with shock at him being alive, it's revealed Suzie Q didn't send a telegraph letting them know he was alive. The line references the dub where Joseph says almost the same thing.
  • Adding an older Caesar to the Stardust Crusaders anime.
  • Nigel Uno has grown up, and now he's even more dangerous. Explanation Joseph in Battle Tendency's English dub is voiced by Ben Diskin using his Nigel Uno/Numbah 1 voice, leading to a multitude of comparisons.
  • "Well, call or fold, D'Arby! What's it gonna be, D'Arby?! What's it gonna F*CKING BE?! Explanation This comes from Antfish's abridged series that uses the OVA animation. Many cite this as the most referenced part of the abridged series and believe this is the original Japanese dialogue.
  • Part 5 Never. Explanation The increasingly long wait for a Vento Aureo adaptation has led to many joking that it will never happen... until it's announced for an October 2018 release, putting the meme to a halt.
    • Part 6 never. Explanation After the Part 5 anime was announced, fans moved to making this joke. That is, until 2021, when the Part 6 anime was announced, also ending that meme.
    • Part 7 never. Explanation Once people saw the Part 6 anime, they moved on to jokingly state that Part 7 would never be released.
  • Matthew Mercer vs Patrick Seitz Explanation The English dub for Stardust Crusaders has prolific voice actors Matthew Mercer and Patrick Seitz playing Jotaro and DIO (respectively). This has lead to YouTube comments pitting various characters the two actors have played. Whether they're from the same show (Law vs Franky, Hit vs Jiren, Beelzemon vs Blastmon) or crossover potential (Cassidy vs Dracula, Kanji vs. Ragna)
  • It's High Noon! Explanation Speaking of Matthew Mercer, he says this line right before Jotaro's final attack on DIO. To quote one commentator, "All the build-up of hiring Matt Mercer for just one line."
  • Miyuki Ono Explanation With three JoJos voiced by someone with the surname Ono in the anime (Jotaro voiced by Daisuke Ono, Josuke by Yuki Ono, and Giorno by Kensho Ono), the fans joked that the Part 6 anime would have Jolyne also voiced by an Ono to follow the trend instead of her rather popular game voice actor, Miyuki Sawashiro, unless Sawashiro decides to change her last name to Ono. Sure enough, when Part 6 was announced to be getting an anime adaptation, Jolyne was confirmed to be not voiced by Sawashiro...though the new voice actor, Fairouz Ai, isn't an Ono either.
  • An oil tanker for you! Explanation In the OVA, DIO drops an oil tanker on Jotaro instead of the famous steamroller. This, combined with the flat delivery of the line in the English dub, made it a meme in its own right.
  • Fruits Basket: Vento Aureo. Explanation Crunchyroll goofed when they uploaded Episode 30 of the Vento Aureo anime sub, with the subs instead being from the 2019 adaptation of Fruits Basket. Needless to say, there are screencaps of moments with sub text that that are hilariously inappropriate and others that are hilariously appropriate as well. One set of subtitles sums up this nonsense perfectly.
  • KAKYOIN! UNGH! AGH! KAKYOIN! IT GOT HIS EYES! Explanation From the English dub of the 1993 OVA. Polnareff's reaction to Kakyoin getting slashed by Geb has caught on for his interesting delivery.
    • IGGY, GET OUT OF HERE! HE'S STILL ALIVE! Explanation Also from the OVA, Iggy's death has recently caught on due to him simply standing there with his original "ugly" design before Vanilla Ice bisects him with Cream. The above line is Polnareff's futile warning.
  • Jolyne.png Explanation Until the trailer for Stone Ocean was released on August 8th of 2021, the only official material given for the anime after its announcement was a single image of Jolyne's anime design. Fans derisively nicknamed it such after growing tired of it and hoping for new material, half-jokingly expecting hypothetical similar images with similar long waits between them, such as "Ermes.png" or "Jotaro.png."

     Video Games (Heritage For The Future, All Star Battle, Eyes of Heaven)

  • Thanks to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future, plus a certain Flash video, Dio is one of the most infamous manga villains of all time.
  • Dio loves milk Explanation Since Heritage for the Future censored blood and wine into white, a scene where Dio drinks wine from a glass made him seem like he was drinking milk. Jokes have ranged from comparing him to Pesci in the anime who orders milk at a bar, to making the Squick interpretation that the white liquid is actually Pucci's semen.
  • KAKATTE KOI! Explanation Kakyoin shouts this during his taunt in Heritage for the Future. Combined with his incredibly dramatic poses, and this video of two Kakyoins in a Mirror Match constantly taunting, it gained a lot of popularity.
  • NO Explanation One of Joseph's voice clips for his attacks in Heritage for the Future. Because of how often it shows up in this video, it's become rather popular among fans.
    • CLACKER VOLLEY Explanation This is easily the most spammed attack, leading this to be recited constantly. Especially in MUGEN, an entire match may consist of this being recited.
    • lol, his ultimate attack is screaming his friend's name Explanation Joseph's ultimate attack has him screaming "CAESAR!!!!" very loudly.
    • Stupid people can believe in anything, so you can believe in yourself! Explanation One of Joseph's win quotes has become a popular reaction picture for obvious reasons.
  • For the hardcore HFTF community, Khan is a fairly popular character simply because of his Joke Character status akin to Dan from Street Fighter, with his most memorable moves being his godly low light attack that can chain into itself to the point that it becomes an infinite, the Spinny Funny, and his absolutely terrible throw that everyone uses just to watch him shave his opponent's beard with a katana while screaming "SHINEI! Ago goto sotte yaru ze!"
  • Diamond is Not Crazy Explanation A shorthand way of referring to the legal-dodging renames in the English version of All-Star Battle, in the shape of Part 4's Engrish-y name; specifically, to Josuke's Crazy Diamond having its name changed to Shining Diamond.
  • How deep can I hit it? Balls deep! Explanation All Star Battle's Western localisation changes the usual translation of Jolyne's HHA speech, where she wraps a baseball with her string and rapidly flings it at her opponent, from "How many throws (of the ball) can I do in a row? A thousand!" to "How deep can I hit? Balls deep!"
  • FIVE DIOS Explanation The fanbase's reaction to there being literally five Dio Brandos in Eyes of Heaven: Dio Brando from Part 1, DIO from Part 3, the two Diego Brandos from Part 7 and a new form for DIO exclusive to EOH, Heaven Ascension DIO.
  • Yare yare, it's high noon. Explanation (part 3 spoiler) A crossover meme between Jotaro's catchphrase, and Cole Cassidy's catchphrase from the game Overwatch. Cassidy is voiced by Matthew Mercer (Jotaro in the anime's dub) in English, and Jurota Kosugi (Jotaro in the original Japanese version of the OVA) in Japanese. So he's Jotaro in two different languages! It even gets referenced in the anime's dub, with Jotaro very explicitly comparing his delay with finishing off DIO to a western where he'd say something like 'It's high noon'. Joseph is sometimes also compared to the same character, due to tricking Santana into staring at a reflection of the sun at high noon (as well as both having a Nice Hat and beard).
  • "Next you'll say, OMAE WA MOU SHINDEIRU!" Explanation Jotaro and DIO were included into Jump Force along with other characters from Shonen Jump, including Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star. This got fans requesting that Joseph Joestar be added into the game, to play on the joke about Joseph's "Your next line is..." and Kenshiro's "Omae wa mou shindeiru" both getting a 'NANI!?' from their opponent.

    Fan Works

  • "Kakyoin! Did you lay this egg?" Explanation From a CLAMP-produced Jotaro x Kakyoin Doujinshi
  • Everybody Lives AU. Explanation(spoilers) Due to rampant main character deaths in the series, a common example of a Fix Fic that many fans come up with are alternate situations where characters like Jonathan, Caesar, Kakyoin, or Narancia didn't die and instead got to appear in later parts, often redesigned to properly represent the appropriate time skip. And now fans have a canon one in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven.
  • Ariel Kakyoin/Ocean Man Explanation Being that Jotakak is a fairly common pairing, and that mermaid Alternate Universe fics/art are a favorite of many fandoms, fans have taken to depicting Kakyoin as a mermaid due to his red hair and green outfit with Jotaro as the Prince Eric figure, or alternatively, depicting Jotaro as the mermaid due to his fondness for the ocean and his eventual job as a marine biologist.
  • A common recurring meme among the Jojo fandom is the idea of the villains all living together in the same household, often with comedic, sitcom-styled domestic humor such as this. Recurring tropes found in these works include Diavolo dying repeatedly and Kira being the Only Sane Man (which says a lot).
    • On a similar note, the fandom has greatly played off the concept of La Squadra being much like a family, taking their brotherhood-like relationship to its logical extreme by portraying Risotto and/or Prosciutto as parental figures with their bunch of misbehaving children.
  • "Mudad Dio" Explanation A common and popular concept depicting Dio having gotten to meet and raise Giorno, and showing him as genuinely caring for Giorno despite his wicked, twisted nature. This gained traction due to an Araki interview suggesting that Dio would have cared for Giorno, if only due to his abusive childhood reminding Dio of himself. Their Double Heat Attack in Eyes of Heaven further added fuel to this concept, in which Dio reacts with a mix of surprise and pride at hearing Giorno yell his signature Kiai while pummeling the opponent, before joining his son in a double "MUDA MUDA MUDA!" barrage against the enemy.
  • Mr. Blue Sky Explanation The single most prolific name for fanmade stands. It has gotten to the point where it is borderline Fandom Heresy to play it straight, and nowadays is shorthand for poorly-made or parodic fanmade stands.

Dio: You thought your first meme would be JoJo, but it was I, Dio!!
