"Egyptian Islamic Fundamentalists"
It is claimed in the "Controversy" section that complaints were made by "Egyptian Islamic fundamentalists". This is not reliably sourced (the citation is to an unsourced opinion piece) and the news sources I've read make no mention of their nationality nor describe them as fundamentalists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.122.93.147 (talk) 03:55, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * It's just some stupid sockpuppet trying to claim that the anime was made by terrorists. Don't worry 'bout it. ⌤TheMitochondriaBoi⌤(Wanna talk?)(Contributions)(My stats) 20:27, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Adapted names should take lesser precedence than the actual names
I don't know who changed all the names to the All Star Battle versions (stuff like Killer Queen -> Deadly Queen or Gold Experience -> Golden wind). But if they're not reverted soon, I'm going to fix them myself and add a note at the end of each character paragraph stating the name change. Whatever trademark damage control is in effect for official stuff brought out in English doesn't take priority on a place like wikipedia. You are not "protecting" Araki and Lucky Land by doing this. 198.53.171.148 (talk) 05:02, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Someone has unilaterally decided to make this change and it will be reverted shortly.— Ryūlóng ( 琉竜 ) 09:09, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Completely agreed.

Date dispute and WP:Verifiability
There has been a bit if a dispute as to Weekly Shōnen Jump 1987 No. 1-2 was published, I must remind the other editors of Wikipedia's policy of verifiability in that all content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if an editor is sure something is true, it must be verifiable before it can be added or changed. When I checked the publication date of this issue in the Media Arts Database punished by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, which is part of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, I could only verify January 1, 1987 as the publication date. If other editors want to dispute this date, then they need to present reliable sources that are of equal or higher authority than the one published by a Japanese government agency. So far, when I asked an IP editors for the sources of the December date, they could only provide links to fansites and other Wikipedia article. —Farix (t &#124; c) 18:09, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * This seems to be the same discussion that began Talk:Dragon_Ball, where it was about using cover dates given in the actual Weekly Shonen Jump issue in question or supposed "sale dates" which are only given in the previous issue. The January 1, 1987 date comes from the cover of the series' debut issue as seen at File:Weekly Shōnen Jump 1987 issue 1-2.jpg, so I assume December 2, 1986 is the sale date. It seems the Agency for Cultural Affairs uses cover dates. As I passingly suggested in the Dragon Ball discussion, WP:A&M should talk and determine which one to use if both dates can be reliably sourced, or simply in order to have a preference listed at Template:Infobox animanga. Xfansd (talk) 18:57, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Based on the the time stamps, that discussion took place around or before WP:A&M learned about the Media Arts Database and subsequently added it to WP:A&M/ORS. We are still learning more about what is covered in their database. I don't think anyone knew it covered individual issues of magazines until I looked up JoJo's Bizarre Adventure on the off chance that it may have the original start date. I was only expecting the collected volumes to be listed but otherwise not provide any incite on the publication date. But not only I was presently surprised that the magazine appearances were listed, but that there were separate entries on each magazine issue as well. This is a huge resource to mine in the future.


 * BTW, I don't have a good opinion of one particular participant in that discussion you linked to, especially after he claimed that ANN's encyclopedia and MyAnimeList, both user generated "wikis", are reliable sources. You can probably guess which participant that was. —Farix (t &#124; c) 19:42, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Viz licensing only the first four parts
I've noticed that on the main template about the series that there is a comment that Viz has only licensed the first four parts of the series. However the statement has not been cited, and leaves me wondering how accurate that statement is. Is there anyone who can cite a source that confirms that statement, because otherwise I think it's only speculation at this point.

Normaschthewanderer (talk) 23:53, 21 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Probably it is based on these news but they haven't said anything about Part 5 onwards as far as I heard.Tintor2 (talk) 01:35, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Musical References
Within the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, especially the Stardust Crusaders section, Araki makes frequent references to real-life musicians and fashion designers See ref.. Enclosed below is a table that I have created based on my research of the series. I am seeking comments on whether this information (possibly expanded with other contributions) should be included within the main article.Funhand's note:The list is in Merging Dio Brando. Wikipedia must fix this glich.

Seeking your feedback. Ozflashman (talk) 05:01, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * A straight-up list of musical references like that is inappropriate for an encyclopedic article. Individual references can be included in each character's entry in List of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure characters assuming they are backed up by a reliable source - regardless of how obvious it might seem to us, because we don't allow original research on Wikipedia. It's also fair to include a few (sourced) examples in the Production sections, like I did with Zeppeli/Led Zeppelin and Dio/God in Phantom Blood.--Alexandra IDVtalk 11:19, 26 February 2018 (UTC) JojokeGodFunhand (talk) 04:19, 3 November 2018 (UTC) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXWY2lgM-_0

Series color codes
NOTE: Section by — Ryūlóng ( 琉竜 ) 04:04, 25 January 2015 (UTC) moved and updated from Talk:JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012 TV series) Ozflashman (talk) 23:01, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Proposed series color scheme by Ryūlóng  ( 琉竜 ) for manga and anime in 2015:
 * Phantom Blood
 * Battle Tendency
 *  Stardust Crusaders
 * Diamond Is Unbreakable
 * Golden Wind
 * Stone Ocean
 * Steel Ball Run
 * JoJolion

This is a work in progress. Over the next week, I propose to check if this color scheme has been implemented, whether it has been applied consistently, and/or needs to be revised. Ozflashman (talk) 23:01, 27 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I don't see the need for colors wouldn't that be more necessary for the anime? I mean the manga is black and white.Tintor2 (talk) 23:14, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I just transferred the article from Talk:JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012 TV series) to here, because this is a more appropriate location - not making any judgments yet. You're right, the color scheme applies more to the anime series, but I think it's worth reviewing all of the articles for consistency. Ozflashman (talk) 06:35, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
 * @Tintor2 There's a colored version of the manga btw XD 47A74 (talk) 17:50, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming that these colours are being used in table cells to differentiate series from one another? I also tweaked the text colours for some of the highlights. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 )  23:58, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Under Phantom Blood in Plot, the year should be changed to 1888 because the entire series but the first and last episodes, which take place in 1880 and 1889 respectively, as already said on Wikipedia here. If 1888 is too specific, it should at least be 1880s. 47A74 (talk) 02:49, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Removal of the "Supernatural powers" section
Hi. Thanks for rewriting the article. In regards to the "Supernatural powers" section, could you consider possibly bringing back the mentions of Hamon and Stands? They cross multiple parts. It doesn't need to go into much detail as before, but they definitely make up a major portion of the series. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 )  00:18, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, thank you for noticing that. I think they should be mentioned as well; I have currently slotted them in the plot descriotions of Phantom Blood and Stardust Crusaders, but feel free to rewrite to expand/better position the info. (I plan to keep refining this article/possibly take to GA, so maybe I will find a better solution). — Goszei (talk) 00:31, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

GOCE copyedit request
Great work! A few of my questions are weight-related.


 * In late 19th-century England, the young Jonathan Joestar meets his new adopted brother Dio Brando, who only seeks to usurp him as heir to the Joestar family. Is that the only thing he does? I recall him trying to go beyond taking Jonathan's place and torment him like when he cooked Danny.
 * I think that pretty much everything Dio does at the Joestar manor works towards his end of usurping Jonathan (including the torment). I think a word should be placed in that sentence to demonstrate his one-tracked ambition.
 * ✅. I'm loathe to do this (as it's not a very neutral word) but I used the word "loathe" to give readers the point that Dio would do anything to one-up Jonathan.


 * With Italian Hamon master Will A. Zeppeli and former street thug Robert E.O. Speedwagon at his side, Jonathan uses his new affinity for Hamon to stop Dio, who has tormented him his whole life and whose sights are set on nothing less than world domination. Sounds a bit too cliffhanger-y, if you will. Perhaps we can remove the "tormented him his whole life" segment and say something more along the lines of "[...] to stop Dio, who has made world domination his new goal".
 * I agree with the cliffhanger point, and support your proposal.


 * Under the pressure of poisons implanted in Joseph's body [...] I'm not sure if that much due weight needs to be given to Joseph being poisoned. It serves as a motivator for him to do harsh training, but the Red Stone of Aja should probably be given all (if not most) of the weight.
 * I am ambivalent about this change, but lean towards removal.
 * ✅. I've deleted it for now.


 * He learns that the phenomenon has run through his family due to a newly resurfaced Dio Brando, who has fused his head to Jonathan's headless body. Just double-checking, Jotaro learns this and not Joseph?
 * Joseph+Avdol are the ones that know this, and teach this to Jotaro.
 * ✅. Switched the first "he" to Jotaro.


 * In their travels, they gain allies in the French swordsman Jean Pierre Polnareff, who wishes to avenge his sister's death, and the Boston Terrier Iggy, who begrudgingly accompanies the group on the way to Cairo to permanently defeat Dio. Boldly edited. Sounded a little too dramatic, so it's been toned down. What do you think?
 * Was too dramatic before. Your change is a welcome one.


 * Giorno joins Bruno Bucciarati's squad within Passione [...] This conundrum again. I can never remember if it's Bucciarati or Buccellati. The Jojo wiki says that it's Bucciarati, but that Buccellati is used in Araki's Manga Tech and it's the name of the food he's based off of.
 * List of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure characters and Golden Wind (manga) use Bucciarati; I think we should be consistent. I know that the DP anime went with "Bucciarati"; I believe that previous official sources (artbooks, figures) have sometimes used "Buccellati", though that was in addition to other weird romanizations like "Blono" as his first name.
 * ✅. Leaving as Bucciarati.


 * To retrieve her father's Stand, Jolyne allies with fellow inmate Ermes Costello, who has also had a Stand awoken in her, the boy Emporio Alniño, fellow inmates Narciso Anasui and Weather Report, and the sentient Stand-using plankton colony “Foo Fighters” to save her father and stop Pucci before he uses his Stand to recreate the universe in Dio's image. Edited some of this. I'm thinking of bunching up Anasui, Ermes, and Weather Report so that it flows better; Ermes' parenthetical thought doesn't seem important to the overall plot of Stone Ocean.
 * I think they can be safely bunched up, as per your proposal.
 * ✅. Rewrote the sentence.


 * He did not want it to be a tournament affair, which was popular in Weekly Shōnen Jump at the time, and therefore decided to make Part 3 a "road movie" inspired by Around the World in Eighty Days. Emphasis in original. This was in the 90s?
 * Must be after the trilogy decision and before the manga's serialization, so after 1986 and before 1989.
 * You accidentally (?) removed this sentence during your Copyedit 1.5; I have added it back with a slight unrelated tweak. I think the reference to the 1980's shortly before makes clear the WSJ period we are talking about.
 * . Thanks for that.
 * . Thanks for that.


 * The store was opened from July 28 to September 30, and contained exclusive goods with the Owson name. It reverted after September 30, right?
 * One of the Japanese sources attached to the Owson announcement says it was "for a limited time from July 28th to September 30th." Sounds like it was reverted.
 * ✅. No problems here!


 * Joseph ultimately teams up with Caesar Zeppeli, Will's grandson, and Caesar's teacher Lisa Lisa, who is mysteriously tied to Joseph. I don't think the word "ultimately" is needed: Joseph doesn't ally himself with anyone else while fighting (save Stroheim, and that was when they were having their final showdown with Kars).
 * I agree with this change; though I think it should be replaced with something about Joseph travelling to Rome (to orient the reader).
 * . Essentially swapped out "ultimately" with "heads to Rome". Does that work?
 * I approve. — Goszei (talk) 18:51, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Something I noticed: is "Caesar Zeppeli, Will's grandson," ambiguous? "Will's grandson" could potentially be interpreted as a third person.
 * by putting the parenthetical thought into actual parentheses.
 * I approve. — Goszei (talk) 18:51, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I approve. — Goszei (talk) 18:51, 12 June 2020 (UTC)


 * For JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Araki wanted to use a classical method as a base and then introduce modern elements in the singular. Emphasis in original. What does "singular" mean in this context?
 * Hmm. I read that as "introducing individual modern elements" to the "classical base". There are many better ways to express this idea, though.
 * . I've currently re-written the sentence as Araki wanted to use a classical method as a base before introducing modern elements individually. Is it important to note that the elements are added one at a time?
 * No, it is not important. I am not quite sure what the author of that sentence meant by it; I think the meaning "Araki used a classical base, then added modern elements" would be the correct one. — Goszei (talk) 18:51, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Removed "individually".


 * Although their personalities are different, the two share a physical resemblance in order to have some continuity because it was unheard of at the time for a main character to die in a Weekly Shōnen Jump series. Emphasis in original. What time was this? The 80s?
 * Source for that claim says "at the time" as well. Must have been prior to the planning/serialization of Phantom Blood, so before 1986/1987.
 * . Swapped "at the time" with "prior to the 1980s". How's it look?
 * I have changed this to simply "in the 1980's". He broke the status quo as of the decade itself, so I want to emphasize that. — Goszei (talk) 18:51, 12 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Just realised this. The English anime dub (and to the best of my knowledge, the official translated manga) refers to Hamon as the "Ripple". It's a literal translation and wasn't done because of copyright. I'm wondering if lang-ja should be changed so that the lit parameter isn't used.
 * The Viz JoJonium for Phantom Blood that I have uses "Hamon" instead of Ripple in all cases, and I the subtitles for the DavidPro anime exclusively use "Hamon" as well. That is strange that they chose to use "Ripple" for the dub; I think we should stick with "Hamon", all things considered. — Goszei (talk) 18:51, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅. Left as is.

Videos could be used if it comes directly from a reliable source's channel; in this case, the channel in question is Bandai Namco, and the claim is given support at 3:01.

Add the following paragraph (Along with the source) in between 2nd and 3rd paragraph of the "Production" section.

In creating the manga's generational story, Araki thought much about death and the legacy people leave behind in their lives for their descendants, after the death of his grandfather. He took inspiration from the American television series Roots: The Saga of an American Family, and the novel East of Eden. Roots follows the life of African-American slave Kunta Kinte and his descednants, which while watching Araki began to see as a story of family at heart as opposed to one about slavery and racial discrimination. East of Eden's story centered around the intertwined destiny and rivalry of 2 families, as they pass the torch down to their offspring. He thought highly of stories that could replace its protagonist and still do well. This influneced Araki's decision to ultimately kill Jonathan Joestar and write a generational story as opposed to focusing on a single protagonist, passing on his "Spirit" to his own descendants.

We have to reach a consensus for this? If the information and sources are legit, I can't see why not.Tintor2 (talk) 00:14, 14 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Why would I need to establish a consensus if the information is accurate? Is that not the whole point of an edit request, to establish a consensus? 2603:8080:F600:5AD6:D98A:E999:12E3:923E (talk) 21:03, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

 * I trimmed it down, as it started to go off on a tangent and there were copyediting issues. IP editor, edit requests only require consensus if the proposed changes are controversial, which may require evaluating sources to see if they're reliable. For example, this is a tricky one to determine, as the source used is written by the author himself and would be considered a primary source. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 07:32, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

wikilinking stands consensus
i dont know if there is a consensus on this already but i was browsing through jojolands and non of the stands source names are wikilinked (if they need to be. it would be nice but i have 0 idea if its MOS:OL.) do we have a collective consensus on if it's possible to link to their source band/album/songs?? -Astral ~(he/him/his)  21:05, 26 February 2024 (UTC)


 * It's not about having a consensus, that kind of info needs to be cited with reliable sources and not just assumed. So unless you are aware of some interviews or something with Araki explicitly confirming he named Stand x after band x, etc., it can't be added per WP:OR. The example I always use is how everyone thought Dio was named after the metal singer or his eponymous band, but we now know his name comes the Italian word for gold. Also, this kind of info should be included in a separate sentence such as "The Zeppeli name is derived from the English rock band Led Zeppelin", and not just by linking the first mention of Zeppeli to the band's article.

 * Dio is the Italian word for god, not gold. In the interview that was bundled into the PS2 Phantom Blood game, he mentions that part of Dio's namesake also comes from the heavy metal singer. — Tenryuu 🐲  ( 💬 • 📝 ) 23:30, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * wouldnt WP:NOR also allow reliable secondary sources, not just author stated? so, not just citing like, jojowiki, but a news source stating that's where the name comes from? -Astral  ~(he/him/his)  00:12, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Ideally, but interviews are considered WP:PRIMARY. Content shouldn't be directly taken from JojoWiki due to WP:UGC, but its sources should be evaluated to see if they're fit to be considered RSes here. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 00:15, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * yeah, so we don't *just* need primary sources to cite this all, because i doubt this man has interview confirmed near every stand in this universe, especially in the recent years. i'll work on either finding more interviews or getting a good amount of WP:RS that arent WP:PRIMARY. this helps atleast, to see what all needs to be done so we can somehow wikilink the actual source on the pages. thnx >:3 -Astral  ~(he/him/his)  00:21, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
