JoJo Callbacks in Steel Ball Run 

Andre Boom Boom mentions that he can fit his whole ear into his ear canal like Giorno

You forgot to mention that Diego turning into a dinosaur mirrors Dio turning into a vampire, both lose their humanity.

JoJo references so much, it ran out of things to reference, so it references itself.

There's an interesting one: During the final moments of Johnny's fight with Funny Valentine, Valentine bribes Johnny telling him if he stops Tusk IV's infinite spin, he could bring another Gyro from another universe. In the same way, Dio tried bribing Jonathan on his final moments to let him go, and in exchange, he would make him immortal so he could live forever with Erina.

Dio: **Stops time** Kira: **Reverses time** Pucci: **Accelerates time** Valentine: *I don't have time for that, I'll just skip through dimensions*

You forgot possibly my favorite call back, was the panel when Lucy brought Diego's head wrapped in a cloth to AU Diego's body similar to how Wang Chan brought Dio's head from the rubble of his castle. Where in part 1 is was to keep Dio alive while the other in part 7 was to kill him.

You forgot to say that the main character is named Jojo.

Diego poisoning an old woman was a callback from Dio poisoning George Joestar

Johnny says that he can make maps in the ground with the corpse part, just like hermit purple.

The Old Man that says "but I refuse" when Johnny tries to buy his land might be a callback to Rohan using that quote famously

I think that Johnny's discovering that Hot Pants is a female and not a male by accidentally touching her chest is callback to how Jotaro discovered that Anne the runaway is a female that happened in a similar way. And the end of Magent Magent can be not only a callback to the Kars' end but also to the Anubis' one, in fact they are both trapped in the bottom of a river. And probably Rina is a callback to the name Erina, but I'm not sure about this.

“Until Part 8 is completed” Looks like we’re going to wait for that video for a long while.

Original Universe Part 1: Using Breathing Sunlight Magic to Vaporize Vampires. Steel Ball Run Universe: *We got Balls*

You forgot that zenyatta and mondatta brothers are on the racers list.

the speedwagon oil comapany also refrences how speedwagon started the foundation in the original continuity, through discovering oil in texas

You forgot to mention how Jesus Christ is a throwback to Robert EO Speedwagon and Joshu Higashikata is a throwback to Hitler

Imagine if Diego roasted the Part 7 version of Danny

There is a huge difference between part 7 stands and earlier part stands. The stands in part 7 are mostly just abilities rather than a corporeal manifestation that has abilities.

Johnny Joestar breaths through the entirety of part 7, similar to how Jonathan Joestar circulated oxygen throughout his body.

One most people forget is that Dio's horse possesses a star similar to to joestar birthmark. It is also a reference to Dio's head controlling Johnathan's body in part 3

Also, Zombie Horse is a callback to the zombie horses from part 2.

Something I thought was interesting about the two Dannys is that the dog saves Jonathan from drowning but in part 7 Johnny has to drown the rat

“After part eight is finished” aight see y’all in 3798

Won't Johnny's wife be a reference to Erina? Just add an "E" to the beginning, Rina=Erina.

-If you read Diego's flashback again, Young Diego had a similar hairstyle to Giorno -Mandom (Ringo Roadagain's Stand) is basically The World and Bite The Dust combination but more lame. -The way Alternate Diego is defeated reminds us of how Kira got defeated by an underage girl in the pink dress who used the body to defeat them (Kira by the hands and Alternate Diego by his head in original universe) -Gyro said Yare Yare Daze while fighting Blackmore -Johnny discovered Hot Pants' boobs is the same way of Jotaro discovered Anne's

"I will do part 8 when it ends" bruh

Steel Ball Run is the JoJo Reference that become JoJo

6:38 Does that mean the Part 8 video is never coming out? EDIT: I'm gonna miss Part 8

0:25 DiU called, they want their title of most art evolution back

Strangely, Gyro’s real name, Julius Caesar, is pronounced “Kaiza,” and not “Shiza,” so it’s not completely replicated from P2 Caesar

6:42 long live hamon beat then

Imagine Losing To Dio Twice In Seperate Universes

1:13 I love how you are just as confused about the hair/hat as the rest of us are lol. I've grown to normally expect you to explain stuff about Jojo that I was always confused by but it's refreshing to see you just as stumped with Araki's eccentric art as the rest of us are.

Bold of you to assume part 8 will end

I honestly thought the weird yellow hat thing Stephen Steel wears coupled with his full green suit was to make him look like a Kappa, a Japanese folklore monster

2:26 NEVER. SAY. THAT. NAME: If you reveal that name to anyone, I'll make you regret a lot of things.

3:30 Ah yes, Jonathan Joestar, the protagonist of part 2.

One of the most badass moments is when the world shat his pants after seeing TUSK ACT 4 move in stopped time and says chumimin dio also goes "no, i don't think i will". Call back to when dio saw jotaro move in stopped time.

I like to think that if the main thing with JoJo villains in the original universe was having time controling stands, SBR universe villains will all have space controling stands (so far just Valentine)

Sugar Mountain from part 7 has some similarites to Superfly from part 4, being a stand bound to a stationary object capable of trapping people within it

I like how the world was brought back. Since Diego isn't a vampire with the body of Jonathan, he isn't a supernatural force that constantly evolves, his stand may well be hardlocked at 5 seconds which in the context of the world resetting, actually is a lot more reasonable than 11 seconds with room to evolve. That literally can only be stoped by someone else who can stop time or someone op like giorno

I didn't realize about the "instead of Hamon, we use Spin" thing for the Zeppeli family until now

I like how eventually these callbacks get so meta, that Steel Ball Run literally has a rip-off Nintendo controller Za Warudo.

There's also a shot of Johnny looking up at Diego after he's turned into a raptor and climbed up a rock, which is the same exact shot as when Jonathan looked up at Dio in the famous "breads" scene. Hot Pants is also a religious authority who killed her brother and ends up inside a window frame (to very different results).

I think that part 4 has the biggest art style change, part 7s is pretty significant though

“I think I might do part 8 after it’s done” 2189:”Hey guys so Part 8 is finished”

Not a direct callback, but in Phantom Blood Johnathan was raise by a kind and caring father while Dio was stuck with his abusive father, but in SBR Johnathan is the one dealing with an abusive father while Diego's mother was a saint.

And gyro dying is a callback to the Zeppeli family curse in parts 1 and 2

I like SBR but the fact that the main story ended is a bit sad and frustrating to me

6:42 I would be a grandfather by that time

To quote Monty Python: "Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of JoJo?"

Pretty sure that during the Sugar Mountain arc when Johnny and Gyro are trying to sell away what they obtained the farmer refusing their offer in a pretty unexcpected way is a reference to Rohan's "Daga kotowaru"

"when part 8 is finished" i think you mean "If Part 8 is finished"

You mentioned both of these facts separately 5:28 However, I think it's note-worthy that Johnny obtained his Act 2 Stand during the same fight against a Stand ability that references the very first Act 2 Stand, Echoes Act 2. I thought this was a particularly great way to honor the character of Koichi and his Stand.

Always fun getting to watch your vids discussing the various parts! Can't wait to see more about debunking Araki forgot!

You forgot the similarity of Magent Magent and Anubis both being thrown into a river to beat them.

Can you do a video on jojo part sells, like which part sold the most and stuff, i’ve been having a hard time finding sells for each individual part so a video on this could be quite helpful.

"but I might wait til part 8 is over" til part 8 is over til part 8 is over til part 8 is over til part 8 is over til part 8 is over til part 8 is over til part 8 is over til part 8 is over til part 8 is over til part 8 is over

You forgot to mention that in chapter 6 there is a small flashback with pocoloco's fortune teller where she appears using tarot cards, with two of them being the lovers and emperor cards, both of which are stands in part 3.

Finally i was waiting for this

Johnny's stand first comes out of his arm and says chumimi like Empress did with Joseph.

1:33 Also soeedwagon rich off of oil. Considering how useful and profitable his foundation is , my head cannon is that he used his sledge hammer to break the boundaries of space and time and steal other universes oil

I like this type of stuff, can't wait fot more

Seriously can't wait to see this part animated!! :)

One last thing:isn't enough muda and wry

The SBR universe is just a JoJo reference

I love how he has done so much that he can make references to his own work

I just found this in my recommended lol good video beat

Other concepts that I picked up while reading that I thought would be interesting. Steelball universe Dio is the same as phantom blood as through other means of accessing powers he gets scary monsters which kinda replaces vampire powers, in the alternative universe he gets his own stands which is The World. Just like Johnathan, Johnny shares the same fate of not being able to defeat Dio in the end. Both Dios from part 1 and steelball universe are obsessed with power through money, it later develops into power over world domination. Both Johnny and Dio have this same contrast backstory of Johnny coming from a wealthy family and Dio coming from a poor life of anguish. Gyro Zeppeli’s father shares similar designs to Pucci with a similar philosophy about fate, furthermore, Gyro Zeppeli’s father acts as an executioner which is similar in design with White Snake. Norisuke Higashikata as a similar role as part 3 Joseph, as both a semi mentor to Gappy but also as almost the only character who has knowledge from the event of part 1, which in this case is steel ball run. Kaato Higashikata also has the same aggressiveness as Josuke’s mom but in a darker turn that would later develop into Jobin. Kyo Nijimura and Kira both acts like Jotaro in deferent ways. Kira in the sense of being a selfless badass that hides his emotions well, and Kyo through both design, impulsiveness and emotions that are well hidden through her fake identity. Kyo also acts as a contrast to Jotaro as she cries while being angry while Jotaro just gets angrier and hides his torment. Holy seems to act as both a reason plot for the protagonist and as motivation for all her children.

Jonathan: huge, tough, nice, no stand, Johnny: crippled, small, one of the most op stand users,

Congrats on 200k

I just finished reading steel ball run and this was my favorite part no cap

I like to imagine Shigechi somehow got into the SBR timeline FROM the og timeline and somehow ended up in the race using Harvest disguised as a horse. Is it a bad headcanon? Yes. Do I care? NOPE!

Isn't Gyro's real name supposed to be pronounced Iulius Kaizar Zeppeli? I'm pretty sure i heard that somewhere but here it's pronounced as normal, Julius Caesar.

I love the subs for your intro “She’s um they hop on the beat”

I like the idea of categorizing and comparing similar stands skills but used differently like neb to aqua necklace, and mountain tim's rope stands to stone free string ability.

Tusk moving in stopped time is a reference to star platinum?

When Tusk breaks through D4C’s dimensional barrier, he attacks Valentine with an ORA punch rush like Star Platinum

Excellent explanation Man. Thanks for clarifying. I seriously thought they're the exact counterpart from the previous universe.

Dio: Stops time Kira: loops time Diavolo: Skips time Pucci: Speeds time Valentine: Are you ready to feel the funk?

Tusk's Stand Cry is "ORA ORA ORA" like Star Platinum and Stone Free

Cream Starter's ability to replicate one person's appearance, voice, scent and such is a callback to Oingo's Khnum stand. Also, Diego having daddy issues, living in poverty during his childhood, his mother dying, ending up with the Joestars, and his hunger for power. And of course, Dio vs Johnnathan battle.

1:47 Me: *Reads the word Go Ahead* My Brain: MR JOESTUR

This video helped me understand the part 7 universe a lot more. Also I like how the comments are filled with callbacks this video missed.

You forgot about the two racers named zenyatta and mondatta, callbacks you the localized names of Oingo and Boingo

Glad you corrected yourself in this video and made clear they are not literal alternate versions

In chapter 21, during Gyro's teenage flashbacks, there's a prisoner waiting for execution with "joints that bent in the opposite direction". He has two right hands, possibly referencing J.Geil and Enya from Part 3.

yo i love jojo and i loved this video

It's just basically Part 7 is a combination of parts 1-3 And part 8 is a combination of part 4-6

Alternative title: Jojo’s bizarre adventures referencing Jojo’s bizarre adventures

Base Diego is a callback to Risotto from part 5 in his arc throughout the story. Both lose family which deeply effects them emotionally, both are major enemies throughout the part(until big bad goes on offensive), and both ultimately lose to the major villain, via modes of transportation(Aerosmith/train). Adding even more of a reason why he is the best Dio in thr franchise. All major deaths throughout parts 7 also reflect deaths that occur in the original universe.

Can't wait for the next part of this in 2023

Can you debunk systematic violence next

3:55 so this is no Stand Ability ?

In the final fight. When the infinity rotation went in Diego's leg and he chopped it off it could be a reference how Dio chopped his head off not to get killed by hammon

Fucking forever after you posted this video, but mandom making Gyro and Johnny walk in circles is a callback to the polnareff stair scene

Bro can you talk about the part in jojo where Hamon Beat discusses his stand ability “crime statistics”

There was one that i think happened when Gyro was explaining his backstory, where it showed a map of his homeland and it said the kings name was "Dell'volo" or something like that (I cant remember exactly what it was but yeah)

Great video

History doesnt repeat, but it does rhyme
