Since no one seems to know anything about this long running manga series that I absolutely love, I decided to make a thread all about it.

This Wikipedia page covers the basics of the series pretty accurately. WARNING: SPOILERS
Wiki link

So far only Part 3 has been officially translated but due to copyrights, VIZ had to change a lot of the names of characters. Araki-san loves making references to popular bands/musicians(and fashion in Part 6) which obviously led to those problems. All the way to the end of Part 5 has been fan translated decently(keeping the original names of things) with the first 3 volumes of Part 6 and the first 5 volumes of Part 7 fan-translated as well.

JoJo's has spawned:
an OAV, 2 fighting games, a bunch of memes, action figures, and numerous fan communities.

Most people know this:
Mudah thing
or
ZA WARUDO WRYYYYY
but have no idea what it is from.

If you have any more questions about it feel free to ask me. If I can't answer them personally, I can give you the answer the friend who helped get me into the series has.

F.A.Q.

There really isn't any yet...

1. Where does the WRYYYY thing come from?
WRYYYYYY is the common way of writing the sound vampires make in JoJo's BA. However it is most commonly used by Dio Brando and as such is usually related to him.

2. Where does the ZA WARUDO thing come from?
ZA WARUDO is from Dio as well. Its actually THE WORLD which is the name of his Stand. It justs comes out as ZA WARUDO or something similar because the voice actors for the OVA and Fighting Game are Japanese. Thus they do not speak English naturally so THE WORLD gets kind of butchered(aka Engrish).
