[Introduction] They put the sheer
energy of the early 2000s into this opening. So if you think the world looked like Jet
Set Radio, you are correct, but let's get into this opening.
[Analysis] The string trailing outside the prisoner
transport car is from Jolyne using Stone Free. This shot is referencing Chapter 1.
The same goes for everyone you can see in the car, especially this guy,
who Jolyne said looked like Tom Cruise. I don't see the resemblance.
In the middle of this, we see a couple of cute calls.
Here, this zipper and where it’s located calls back to Bruno Bucciarti using his stand
"Sticky Fingers" to escape the trolley to get away from Giorno in chapter 7.
Right here you’ll see Lucky Land which refers to Lucky Land Communications,
Araki’s personal manga studio.
You’ll also see the hand symbol, and while that is a Jotaro staple, it’s also the Lucky Land symbol.
Next, we get a beautiful look at the logo before a transition into two long lines of prisoners.
The tag MA-152403 is actually a nod to Weather Report's character, Prisoner MA-152403.
After that, we have Jolyne in a room with someone already in it.
That someone is Gwess, the stand user of Goo Goo Dolls.
Keep that in mind because this part where Jolyne is being blasted at by cops while also small
is also a reference to the same arc. It's Chapter 4 of Stone Ocean, and these are
the Female Ward Security Staff that are supposed to be in charge of keeping people from escaping.
We get a quick flash of the amulet that holds a piece of the arrow given to Jolyne from Jotaro.
The following things we see are Loccobarocco and his
alligator puppet Charlotte from Chapters 3 & 4. The unnamed guard from the Strip Search staff.
Miuccia Miuller, stand user
of Jail House Lock who debuted in chapter 96. Then there's the lady known as the Caterer from
Chapter 5, holding a large drink and a case. The large cup is most likely Foo Fighter's
drink taken by a blonde in the Marilyn Manson arc, chapter 34.
The case is most likely a case of food since they served food.
These prisoners are from the There's Six of Us arc.
This pose with Jolyne, Foo Fighters, and Ermes is from Volume 4 of Stone Ocean,
"Go! Foo Fighters. "
Emporio, Weather Report, and Anasui standing together like that references the "Ermes's
Sticker" arc where they all met up in Burning Down the House, specifically chapter 24.
The felt marker that says Araki most likely references the fact that the
parts ahead of Stone Ocean are manga only currently, because behind this pen,
we get references to parts that have already been animated.
The shovel is Luca's shovel from Golden Wind. This shovel is essential because that fight
singlehandedly kicks off the Golden Wind events. You know, except the epilogue.
The 6-12 sign is from when Dio had tried to cut Jotaro's head off in their fight.
There's a pencil, and since there isn't any other reference to Part 4 in these
items, I guess this refers to Rohan.
But there is a peace sign and heart in the back, referring to Josuke.
The orange juice and mars bar on that table is also from Burning Down the House.
The Doll is Erina's Doll from Phantom Blood. This item references a pivotal moment where
we first see Jonathan Joestar, and the first thing he did was defend Erina.
The Walkman is Joseph's.
We see it used at the end of Battle Tendency and throughout Stardust Crusaders.
Foo Fighters playing catch with Jolyne in the courtyard
with basketballs and money raining down is also referencing the Marilyn Manson arc.
People have been missing this one, but this shot of Jotaro also has a little picture of Iggy.
In addition to that, you can see the word "crazy" with a diamond symbol right by it,
another call to Josuke.
This room is where Manhatten Transfer's stand user, Johngalli A.
, traps Jotaro and Jolyne. This stand right here is Manhatten Transfer.
This shot of Jolyne and Jotaro looking up and at the vent is a potential reference to
this panel from The Visitor Part 7.
We get another transition with the amulet.
The shot of Jolyne in awe inside the disc's reflection and the transition into Star Platinum's
stand disc most likely references Jolyne's reaction to Jotaro getting his stand stolen.
This scene of Jolyne in the water hits us with multiple callbacks to previous openings.
The space is similar to the one used in "stand proud.
" The fists to the face with the look that she's about to scream
is a call to Joseph when he cries to Caesar in the Battle Tendency opening.
The glowing fist of stand fire plus the stare is most likely a call to
Jonathan in the Phantom Blood opening, whose fist is lit on
fire because it references the fight between him and Dio on the castle.
Her stare also matches Jonathan, Joseph, and Jotaro, who all did that in their first opening.
Then it cuts to a shot of Jolyne from the side, and her stand Stone Free pops
right out of her body in the same way that the Crusaders did it in the "Stand Proud" opening.
This part is one of my favorite references here.
Now, we get a "blink if you miss it" moment,
but this shot is a fantastic reference to this art piece on Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #8.
Next, we get Ermes running on bullets, with "stand discs" falling around everyone.
I think this is a harder call, but this might be referring to Emporio's Ghost
Gun that had its bullets duplicated by Kiss. This situation happens in the Made in Heaven arc.
I almost forgot to mention this. There’s these clouds with rainbows coming out of
them. This could be a reference to something like Heavy Weather,
or it’s the a reference to the fact you’re watching JoJo and we knew about you already.
Foo Fighters comes up in their original form. Then you this part where they're shooting their
plankton gun, referring to when they used it in Chapter 54, Kiss of Love and Revenge, Part 4.
The poses that Jolyne does look highly familiar, but this one in specific
is referencing the cover of Chapter 72! It's just not upside down.
The nuts and bolts are from the Lang Rangler fight.
We get that confirmed with the next shot with Weather because that's Lang Rangler right there.
Where it looks like Jolyne is walking on water and
plankton are everywhere is a call to when Jolyne and Foo fought for the first time.
The shed is the shed where Pucci keeps all of the stand discs and
where everyone was fighting outside of in the "There's Six of Us" arc.
Next is "previous part call back city," a terrible name for a city, but yeah.
The bloody Stone Mask is the mask Dio used to turn into a vampire, but the blood splatter looks
like it's from when Jonathan and Dio first fought seriously. NO, I DISAGREE WITH MY PAST SELF. WHERE
I REMEMBER THIS WASN’T WHEN DIO GOT BEAT OR WHEN HE TURNED INTO A VAMPIRE. THIS REFERENCES CHAPTER
1 OF JOJO WITH THE SACRIFICE THAT WASN’T ADAPTED INTO THE ANIME. THAT’S A WAY HARDER CALL BACK.
The Red Stone of Aja and the faint image of Wamuu
in the back is calling to Battle Tendency and the Pillar Men.
The thing turning into rubble and smoke is Dio's body coming in contact with sunlight at the end
of Stardust Crusaders, and the shot over the city is Cairo, where Jotaro and Dio fought.
In this shot, you can see Stray Cat, Sheer Heart attack,
the coin that blew Shigechi up, Crazy Diamond, Echoes Act 2, and The Hand.
The pink flower petals and flowers everywhere reference volumes 54 and 55 of Golden Wind.
They could also refer to the flowers that cover the friends' bodies that passed in Golden Wind.
The arrow with the beetle is also present here. People happen to call this the Requiem arrow a
lot because it was the same arrow that gave us Chariot Requiem and Gold Experience Requiem.
It's an easy way to name it, we know it's just an arrow with a higher dosage of the virus,
but giving it a name isn't bad by any means. And finally, the Jotaro behind Jolyne is the
same one in Stand Proud and End of the World. So he's posting up in that same spot,
and Jolyne goes on to make her callback to the Stone Ocean Volume 1 cover.
Then we get a shot of the prison, located in Florida, the Florida Man of the United States.
Thank you all for watching.
Hopefully, I'll see you all in the next one. Until then, peace out, and godspeed.
