If you don't remember this old ass meme you're probably a little baby.

>>153562299
It definitely exploded out of nowhere. Not many people talked about it but now suddenly everyone is going around with JoJo avatars and stuff.

>>153562379
Everyone is a little baby these days

I remember seeing ZA WARUDO a couple times years ago, but whenever I searched what it was it sent me to youtube videos of clips from old hentai.

You're lying. It had memes and regular discussion since over a decade ago, and exploded over three years ago now.

It's because of the stardust crusaders anime

>>153562379
It was funny because no one knew where it came from. Most people also only saw the stick version of that back then.

But yeah anime happen which made huge e-celebs cancer talk about Jojo.

>>153562491
Wrong. Dio throwing a steamroller on Jojo was a meme 10 years ago. And I don't mean a decade flippantly, literally 10 years ago there were memes on this website about Dio throwing a steamroller on Jojo.

It ran into quite some issues regarding localization for most of its life, so naturally it would take a major mainstream adaptation to finally enter the public eye. It's easier to watch a video online than search the Internet for translations from various sources.

>>153562379
I remember it but I never knew where it was from. In fact it wasn't until years after Jojo blew up in popularity that I finally put two and two together and realized this IT WAS ME, DIO meme man was from a much older ass meme.

>it got popular

Welp, time to sell all my Stardust Crusaders volumes and shitpost the series to death while still secretly enjoying it.

>>153562679
A single meme is not the equivalent of the mass popularity it now has.

OP confirmed retard

Many westerners got to know it because of that Capcom game and the OVAs.

>>153562299
It was always popular in Japan. It was very niche in the west. Some people knew about it, either through the manga(with its shitty meme tier translations) or through the old part three OVA.

Then it got an anime, and exploded in popularity. The people who act like it was always a big deal are either posers, or old fans finally relishing in the newfound validation.

This isn't rocket science and I don't know why I'm having to explain it to you.

When the anime started in 2012 I knew exactly what I was getting into just from cultural osmosis due to hanging out in 4chan a lot. It was always well known.

>>153564111
Its clear that OP just wasn't on 4chan at the time. To the public at large Jojo was largely unknown until the anime came about.

It had threads pretty consistently. Obviously it wasn't as popular since a huge amount of retards are allergic to manga.

>>153563982
>It was very niche in the west
Not by /a/ or general manga standards, it wasn't.

>>153562299
Jojo was really popular in japan and most of the shonen mangakas took inspiration from it's "tricky stand ability" formula.
bleach has shikai and bankai (like stands, each has a unique ability reflecting their personality)

one piece has the devil fruit, although it doesn't reflect the personality of the user, it still has that jojo esq feel of mysterious weird powers, figuring out what the person's devil fruit power is to counter it and being creative with the power to use it to it's fullest potential

many other shonen anime have clear jojo inspiration

>>153562379
Despite being older, it's actually more cancerous than most memes out there today:

>2008

>finally find out about jojo and dio and stardust crusaders

memes is what made it popular, now nobody can take this shitty manga seriously.

I remember when the only way to discuss jojo was to go on /vg/ to the All star battle general which never had more than 10 posts an hour
Now there is a general for it on /a/

Genuinely thought it was some sort of yaoi series when I first saw images of it without knowing anything about the series. I think it was some old scans of the Pillar Men.

Looking back I can't really blame myself

>>153569011
and yet they still shit up /a/ with multiple threads.

>>153565138
I just reread part 6 and that pose is so fucking weird because there's no need for Pucci to do it, he wasn't using an ability or posting after delivering a beatdown, he just kinda does it. Why did he do that?

I've always been vaguely aware of its existence but only got into it last month when I blew through the anime and have been reading through the manga ever since. I'm getting close to done with SBR now. I won't pretend to have always been a fan or anything, but it's a really fantastic ride and I think it deserves the attention it's getting now. I get it might be annoying to see normies spouting memes about it but I'm glad it's at least getting recognition in the West now. Enough to get to collect the series in hardcover,
finally, at least.

>>153562299
The oldest JoJo memes are from the time Poole was still an underaged shit in SA, though most people didn't really care where did ZA WARUDO or ORAORAORA came from. Also, there was the Duwang issue, but that's another thing.

JoJo exploded thanks to the anime, the first JoJo nu-meme was KONO DIO DA, which gives you the clue as to when this fanbase started growing like cancer.

>>153566731
Isn't DUWANG popular even before the anime started?

I thought the anime made it less popular. I expected it to be subbed in Duwang as it was airing, but as far as I know that didn't happen at all.

I remember downloading a mod for Max Payne 2 a long time back which amplified Bullet Time's effect by a lot and played the ZA WARUDO sound. That was my first introduction to JoJo.

Za warudo was definitely a meme during the mid late 2000's.
But I'm guessing the fact that it got a 3D fighting AND it started getting adapted in 2012 did help it gain more popularity. (More so globally, since it was already popular in Japan)

It really looks good.

>>153574994
So, now Gappy's basically fucked, who can help him? Kyo is the only one I can think of, pick him up with her stand and rush away from the zombies. He could decide to risk it and call Norisuke, Tsurugi is fine too I guess, but I don't see him as a great option for finding people.

So this is the 3rd chapter of chase, how long do you think it'll last, considering that Araki is hammering on the fact that the city is in real danger.

fucking hell, we only got two relevant scenes this chapter, why were 30 fucking pages wasted on a repetition of the previous chapter?

Yeah that was kind of lame, probably to point out how dangerous the abilty is.
It'll look more coherent when the fight will be over.

>>153575379
Will we get a true chase? There's Gappy on a bike as in now, I wouldn't exclude that he already knows how to ride a motorbike, there's Norisuke with the one in the garage, Kyo with Born This Way and Jobin has been shown driving numerous times. The cards are there.

calling it, this fight ends by gappy surrendering himself to the ability, but suspending blood on top of the user so he has to cancel the ability in order to survive

>>153562299
You stupid young memester fuck.
If it wasn't for the anime, people like you wouldn't know about it. Which I guess would be better than what we have right now.

No, I think he knows that Joshu doesn't know jackshit. What if he's referring to Kira? Norisuke had ties with him that much is clear.

Uh Jobin, breaking Yasuho's phone isn't going to do much when its a fucking Stand ability, she can just get another one. Don't count on her not just pulling the ground data out of her ass when she wakes up either, her stand kind of does that.

>>153575928

I knew that steamroller thing and I heard about JoJo, but didn't know anything, except it had masks that made Vampires or something.
I never really realized how old and big JoJo is, I filed it with "other shounene stuff I didn't read yet" and put it into the same category as Bleach, HxH etc.
Wasn't until I read the SC manga that I finally realized where that steamroller was from. I only read JoJo because of the animu, glad I did.

Duwang was known long before the anime

I only heard of it in very niche talks and i don't think it was even on /a/, it was /co/ or something.

Never read it until the anime started

I have also been going to this shithole since 2006

Everyone who spent any time on 4chan should have known about in 2006 due to all the wryyyy spam. Normalfags knew it too because of some games around that time.

Anyone on /a/ that wasn't a newfag would have known about it since the beginning of 4chan

JoJo has always been an integral part of /a/ culture, with or without the anime.

I wish we got to learn the context behind Joseph cheating, like did she come on to him while drunk or were they proper dating or what?
