Other influences on the series included Enter the Dragon and Dirty Harry. One episode was
based around the Chinese concept of Qi. [15] During early planning, the series' tone was far more serious, but after the
first four episodes had been written, the staff were worried about the tone becoming bleak, prompting a greater focus on comedy. [5] Several episodes incorporate references, homages, and parodies of popular media. [16] The Japanese episode titles use four-character idioms referencing the theme of that episode's story. They drew from multiple sources, including Japanese and Western sayings (the first episode's title, "Shippu Doto", is a Japanese rendering of the German saying "Sturm und Drang"), philosophical concepts ("Inga Oho" references a proverb about the workings of karma), and pieces of classic media (the episode title "Anya Koro" references Naoya Shiga's novel of the same name). The English episode titles were created by translator Ryan Morris. Morris did not directly translate the Japanese titles, instead using alliteration to preserve the rhythm and meaning. [17] Characters[edit] The series follows the exploits of the three leads−Fuu, Mugen, and Jin−when they are drawn together by circumstance and end up traveling together to find the sunflower samurai. [18][10] The main cast was created by Watanabe,[18] who wanted a cast of heroes who were silly, immature, and dangerous, with "a touch of insanity". [5] He described Mugen and Jin as unconventional people not bound by the rules of the period.
Many references to modern film, television, fashion, fine art, and popular music are readily identifiable throughout JoJo in many settings and both the characterization and nomenclature of the cast. Examples of physical, mathematical and psychological theory, biology, technology, mythology, natural phenomena, historic events, and segments of other artistic work
inform the design and functionality of the multitude of unique Stands. The series occasionally makes fanciful developments upon contemporary scientific theory in creation of the routes by which certain Stands and other powers exert their influence on nature. Morioh, fictional Japanese town and base of Diamond is Unbreakable and as a distinct incarnation in the ongoing JoJolion shares its coordinates with Araki's hometown, Sendai,[5] assuming a more culturally detailed description and referencing more contemporary topics (such as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake) than other settings. Additionally, Stand-wielding mangaka Rohan Kishibe, a resident of Morioh introduced in Diamond is Unbreakable, returns as a guide in a number of JoJo spin-offs. Hirohiko Araki, asked in 2006 to describe the subject of JoJo in a phrase, answered "the
enigma of human beings" and "a eulogy [to] [the] human";[6] and as his attitude to manga, "the salvation of the heart". [7] Subjects in the text of the manga may be condensed under themes of DestinyW, CourageW and JusticeW. Part 1 to Part 6[] The first continuity follows an inter-generational feud between the Joestar Family and various forces of evil, the most prominent of which is Dio Brando and his followers. Part 1 to Part 3[] The first part Phantom Blood, set in England in 1880, follows Jonathan Joestar as he matures with and eventually combats his adoptive brother, the cunning, merciless Dio Brando who becomes a Vampire with the help of an ancient Stone Mask. Jonathan is trained by Will Anthonio Zeppeli in the vibrant energy of the Ripple, wielded in the human body and transferred in hand-to-hand combat, which is the only sure way apart from sunlight of defeating Vampires and their Zombie minions. The second part Battle Tendency sees Jonathan's grandson Joseph Joestar crossing the world in the days leading up to the Second World War in 1938 to combat the Pillar Men, an ancient race of hostile beings responsible for the creation of the Stone Mask.
