Hirohiko Araki's Most Bizarre Quotes 

- Goes to bed early - Sees dead woman float from bathroom door - Dead woman approaches with blood on her hands - Tells dead woman is too tired to deal with this - Refuses to elaborate - Goes to sleep

GigaChad Araki: Ignores ghost because he’s tired Intimidates his dentist from fixing his cavity Average “The Grinch” enjoyer Decides fate is how he feels about it Wants to suck blood like Morbius Speedruns mariage Gets gains on his own during pool date Names an imaginary restaurant after his character

I love that he lists "death" at #10 on personal fears right below ceiling cockroaches and three steps behind his own acquaintances, who ever they are.

-doesn’t seem to age -stated that he wanted to drink blood He definitely put on the stone mask

Araki is like a cryptid trying to mimic human behaviour, I love him

My favorite quote was within the last few chapters of Jojolion and he just said he tried some white bread and really liked it and that everyone else should try it too. That was it, he didn’t give a brand name or anything.

Araki got a sleep paralysis demon but said “sorry but I refuse”.

I will say, the thing about "Beautiful Men" is just solely beautiful as in spiritually, the specific word he uses in the interview is a different kind of "Beautiful" (I think it's Atsukushi?) Araki doesn't literally mean "damn those men are fine" (although, they are, sheesh) more just about their personalities, ambitions, and fate

are we just gonna gloss over the fact that araki guzzles water so hard he nearly passes out????

you know actually I find these unhinged thoughts of Araki to be pretty relatable in regards to how I think about things

He seems like such a pleasant fella to be around. I can picture him recounting most every story here with a big smile on his face, even the stuff he didn't like. Because he's still fascinated by a new experience, either way. I've always had this distinct feeling that he's fascinated by the world around him and transfers those feelings into his work. I feel quite validated knowing that he's my kind of weirdo. One that makes honest observations that most people just accept while glossing over the details. Man, I'm halfway through Part 7, and I need to knuckle down and read it. It's so good so far.

Araki got the same energy as "One day a sat on a banana and of course, that changed my life forever"

it baffles me how araki makes such complicated stories with complicated meanings behind them while sounding like a cute airhead😂

That answering machine one, I can't really explain why but I really like that one, it's like something I would have thought of as a child

The fact he was born in 1960 may make him a Boomer technically But the fact he personifies regular objects is pure millennial energy.

Hearing these quotes, it makes a lot more sense why Jojo is the way it is

when he said he almost drowns drinking water i really had a "he's just like me fr" moment.

The stupid friend anecdote is hillarious. This guys is a genius in telling funny stories.

5:54 I absolutely love this one. Drama around the campfire has existed thousands upon thousands of years before any kind of civilization with room for prostitution cropped up.

His quotes are awesome, I really like his worldview; it really adds a new layer to reality. No wonder jjba is so cool

TIL Araki is just Japanese Jerma.

I remember seeing somewhere that Araki said something like "my favorite thing to draw is peoples skin being peeled back" I am not sure if it is real but would explain a lot

"Buy the Fortnite Battle Pass. DO IT RIGHT NOW!!!" - Hirohiko Archie 2022

"as of December I will have been a manga artist for ten years." Oh Araki, you still have 34 years to go (and counting).

This really feels like your great-uncle's Facebook feed

Araki is on a higher plane of existence. He is a 12th dimensional being and nobody can convince me otherwise

He's kinda right about the Grinch. They don't make psycho fantasy films for children like they used to.

I thought he was a very cultured, ellegant, mysterious and serious man. Well, he IS, but he is also a huge nerd and, to summarize, he is as unhinged as the characters he creates. I love Him.

I love how Araki uses the same kid size bike as an adult

This sounds like a serial k1ller confession if you get rid of the manga-related quotes

I have the same callus on the same finger, but I'm not a mangaka I'm just an engineer student who presses the pen too hard on the paper when I take notes

I love Araki, he's amazing.

I have a big callus on my middle finger because I just finished school and throughout all 11 years we had to write A LOT.

I'm starting to realize that Rohan is just Araki...

11:17 How in the sweet fuck is Arakj making me almost cry about the death of a tomato named "Tomato number 1"

1. Bees/Wasps 2. The Ocean 3. Driving 4. Hurting someone I care about 5. Becoming a failure I really only have e enough for 5

5:38 YUP YUP YUP this is the most relatable thing I have EVER seen as an artist I swear we ALL have this callus.

hearing that araki's favorite food from the sw USA was burger king is the most heartbreaking thing ive ever heard.

Top ten md fears 10. Crying 9. Dying 8. Strange Creatures 7. Doxxing 6. Brain Degradation 5. People younger than me 4. Large infestations of insects 3. Parasites 2. Being too sleepy to finish this li

Araki's a pretty bizarre guy. I don't mean this as a joke.

Hospitals and unlucky fortunes right next to each other is so funny considering the head doctor JJL thing

3:41 hmm today I will give him a barbie doll because Darby Araki: clueless

Top 10 fears in no particular order: - Insect - Dying Alone - Losing my physical abilities - Losing my memories - Painful Death - Strangers - Passing by a truck while driving - Someone break into my house and watch me sleeps - Be Misunderstood - Needles

>BO(E)INGo >911 >eerily smiling airliner Holy shit

I'm just imagining that the JoJo fans and 20 groups of weebs going at each others throat meanwhile Araki and the 20 mankakas of the same series their fanbase is fighting for are just sitting around a round table and having social conversation an just being good friends

1- crumbs (yes im terrified of crumbs) 2- the dark 3- injections 4- big open spaces 5- unsuccess 6- organisms that can cling to the ceiling 7- really loud noises 8- strangers whispering 9- death 10- bad future

Araki's mindset is really fascinating.

Honestly these quotes just feel like such a mood

13:59 hahaha, funny joke Araki

This gotta be the complitation of Araki's random moments.

RIP Tomato no.1🙏

"You can get away with a world of only men. You have nothing to fear" "Ive bèn thinking about things that are cool and uncool"

I guess being unhinged is the key to creativity.

5:38 not exclusive to just manga artists. people who use pencils(pens, etc) in their work tend to develop calluses. i got mine at a young age bc ive been drawing my entire life

In Araki’s mind, cavemen were telling scary stories as payment to prostitutes. That man is a genius.

Araki gives me the same vibes as Jerma

The baby thing was about the invisible baby from part 4, josuke has to go buy a bunch of stuff for baby care

18:50 araki is a proto sigma male

9:25 that's where he made aqua necklace

His life is literally a Bizzare Adventure

Pure Rohan energy... wait a minute,

hi i am a japanese fan. if you have chance, please visit Araki san’s home town “Sendai, Miyagi pref”. 80 minutes from tokyo by bullet train. it’s very good place. a lot green trees, red leaves, but enough city sides too. slightly chill by japanese standard but not too cold. there are some castles, temples and historical sites too. you will feel like it’s Moriou-town of season 4 jojo. Sendai has bunch of seafood too.

Which Grinch movie was he watching, because if it's the live action movie I agree.

My fears 10. Apples 9. The letter v 8. The time ticking to our inevitable death separating me from everyone I know 7. McDonald's big macs 6. Who let the dogs out 5. The right walls on my toilet 4. AAH 3. 4 2. Being called Mista 6. Losing count on lists again 5. Consuming toilet paper 3. Doors with gigachad faces on them 2. Me 1. I forgot

Araki had 3am twitter energy before twitter even existed

Araki be sounding pretty sus about his obsession with men in golden wind.

He spittin FACTS

The grinch quote had me duing

I have that verry same callus, sadly im no manga artist

Araki seems like the perfect person to get high with. 😅 This man says and thinks the weirdest shit. Like 3:20 for example. Who in Japan is gonna have a copy of Roots? 😂 That's so random af!!!

I am an artist though I am still a teenager I draw alot and even animate sometimes, I also have started writing my own manga though I live in America so I don't really know if it counts. I also have a permanent callus on the finger I always rest my pencil on from drawing. Manga artist draw alot so thats probably why it's the symbol. :) Also I am learning Japanese and Chinese so all of the speaking between characters or the characters thoughts are in English but the shops and the places they go to are in japanese I am thinking on also making the sound affects in japanese too because I think it looks better that way.

how is this man real

10:30 ha, coming from the man who confessed proudly not to use any toothpaste in his live!

dennys Danny oh I cracked the code

If I didn't know Araki wrote JoJo's I genuinely wouldn't believe you if you told me the author isn't dropping lsd.

This man is a treasure

Here's my Top 10 Fears: 10- Getting mutilated and burned 9- Hight heights 8-Mongols, Turks, Huns and other nomadic horseriding people raiding my town even though they don't exist anymore 7- When the sky is grey and cloudy 6- Masked people 5- Empty public places 4- Flying cockyroaches 3- Strangers 2- Dark (only when it is silent) 1- Cicadas (i'm pretty sure the devil takes the form of a cicada)

"I love men." -Hirohiko Araki

Pretty gay thumbnail ngl

Specifically needles used in these things 💉 1 - Water........ Or to be more precise, Swimming. Kind of explanatory if you ever nearly Drowned before

"I am not an immortal vampire." - Hirohiko Araki 2099, Jojo anniversary Part 20

honestly seeing araki's unhinged ideas just thrown in there makes me understand how much of being a creative type is just being completely wacked out

"In June of 1998 I saw a woman get dragged into a car and did nothing."-Hirohiko Araki completely unprompted at the JoJo 30th anniversary celebration event

I love that Araki's top ten fears include both acquaintances and strangers --that's everyone.

Hirohiko Araki, the man who miraculously escaped death to everyone's indifference

Araki channeling his inner Pixar and going "What if answering machines had feelings?"

Araki is right, delusions are fucking terrifying, imagine if what you saw in the world around you wasn't actually the world around you. I watched the anime "Gakkou Gurashi" and it fucked me up.

Araki really channels that 3am, unhinged energy in these quotes. And it seems to run in the family from the quote about his sister. Also, I like to think that the bird cage quote was a continuation of the muscle cat quote. It also is nice to see some of his thought process when making Jojo and possibly where he got some of his ideas from. Like the quote about him buying baby items might have inspired the scene in Part 4 of Joseph buying baby items.

imagine if instead of "ask your father" he said "ask your mother". that would be a devastating line

The whole fandom for 25 years: "Jonathan Joestar? What could it mean? What are the implications of such a naming scheme? This surely bears a lot of symbolic weight." Araki: *J*

This actually made me want to read JoJo more than anything else had.

"For those who don't know what 'Prostitution' is, ask your father" sounds like such a burn

I’m forever calling him “Erotic Boy Araki”.

1:34 Man, that´s actually really wholesome 8:00 Araki making them top 10´s before it was cool on RU-vid. 12:28 I feel like we have found the inspiration for Okuyasu 15:58 I know want Araki to talk to me about the powerscalling of Godzilla 20:18 Jesus Christ that made me laught more than it should Man, that was bizarre as fuck, I loved it!

I love Araki, I feel like he has no filter and will just say whatever crosses his mind at the time 😂 But the man is an international treasure and must be protected at all cost!

1:20 Araki wanting to learn about his readers is like Rohan turning people into books to learn their personal stories

Bro, Araki was the first person to make tumblr posts in his MANGA

There’s another interview that I recommend, and it’s an interview from July 2004 in Playboy with Araki and SAM RAIMI of all people. Definitely worth a read.

One time, I had an extremely vivid dream that Araki was a fae entity. The more I learn about him, the less that seems like it was just a dream.
