Stand Names
Stand Names
Before stand names are mostly named after music references, in their debut in part 3 Stardust Crusaders, they are all named after either tarot cards (for the earlier appearing stands of both protagonists and antagonists), or Egyptian gods (for the enemy stands of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods that appear after our protagonists arrive at Egypt).
I dunno if this really counts, because JoJo was doing music references as early as Phantom Blood. REO Speedwagon, and Dio are clear references, followed by Cars, AC/DC and Wham!
Araki just really likes musical references and has always included them.
Yea, but the statement is specifically talking about stand names.
