  Remember, kids: every time you're praising Dio's body after Phantom Blood, you're praising Jonathan's body.

  Shoutout to Araki for blatantly stating in an interview the importance of beautiful men in jojos. And when the interviewer asked "beautiful men? There are women, too, right?" And araki doubled down and said "Yes, there are but drawing beautiful men was always the main focus". What a legend

  The fact that Diavolo wears purple studded pants, an extremely revealing lace shirt, lipstick and long, pink, polka-dotted hair, and yet still manages to be one the the coolest and most intimidating villains in the series is just SO JoJo

  You didn't mention how in part 6 Araki subverts the gender roles again because the cast are masculine jacked beautiful women.

  It’s kinda funny because part of it is Araki always wanted to draw skinny guys, in the 80’s he was just really insecure about his ability to draw proportions so he just made everyone comically buff

  Jotaro is Joseph’s grandson. He’s Josuke’s nephew

  One of the weirdest/greatest things in Jojo in regards to its relationship to gender is Bruno Bucciarati. He is the strongest fighter out of the Golden Wind gang, the undisputed leader, and also a complete mama bear. His femininity is tied directly to his capabilities all without questioning his gender. I genuinely can’t think of any other character like him.

  Following Jojo as an artist is incredibly educative because you get the opportunity to follow how an artist &apos;s inspirations and interests have shifted throughout the years by observing the changes in the art style.
