Florida having a boarder with France would absolutely end up causing WW3 one way or another
Somebody go check on joe biden because this much supernatural drama does not happen without a severe shake up in the American political landscape.
SIMILARITIES BETWEEN POKEMON AND JOJOS BIZARRE ADVENTURE
- Made in Japan, obviously
- Series about people who can control creatures with supernatural powers and use these powers for battle.
- It’s been around for a good while and cemented its own legacy with video games, manga, and anime.
- There are 7 complete parts, with the 8th part being still in production at time of posting
- The protagonist of the anime counterparts of all 8 parts all have the same name and are all swole (one could argue that in Pokemon it’s the same person)
- The iconic anime protagonist has a partner who has one consistent move used to dispose of bad guys (Pikachu’s Thundershock/bolt on Team Rocket to Star Platinum’s ORA)
- The creation myth of Entei, Raikou, and Suicune are it was about three dog-like Pokemon that died and were ressurrected, and Araki just kills way too many dogs
- Pokedex entries imply that Pokemon have an insane amount of power and you can’t see them using that power. This is very similar to Okuyasu’s “The Hand“
- The bad guy in the 5th part starts out as a twink, but then it turns out the REAL bad guy is some bigger older man controlling him.
- Aliens exist
- There’s a fire bird, a lightning bird, and an ice bird
- The later parts of the 6th Part of each series introduce Heavy Weather
- The 6th part also introduces the existence of alternate universes right at the end.
- This one is a REALLY weird coincidence/stretch, but Gen 3 featured Gen 1 remakes, Gen 4 featured Gen 2 remakes, and Gen 6 featured Gen 3 remakes. Part 3 is where we last see Part 1′s Jojo (at least his body), Part 4 is where we last see Part 2′s Jojo, and Part 6 is where we last see Part 3′s Jojo.
- While every part is fantastic, the 6th part is seen by many as one of the less popular parts.
- The 4th part is the best part
uh:
- supernatural adventures in a mostly normal modern day setting
- as much focus is given to exploring the world and appreciating it’s culture as on the actual superpowered battles
- ambiguously sentient pet/friend/guardian angels
- ideally suited for people to make ‘-sonas’, by coming up with their own stand, or thinking of what pokemon they’d have as a trainer
- early teen characters running around without adult supervision and getting into dangerous situations, which irl children go nuts for
- organized crime and ancient advanced civilizations are the two major sources of villainy
- People walking around with Peak Character Design outfits
Some more
- Part 7 includes versions of characters (or Pokemon) from Part 1, although in a different form
- Cyrus and Kira both usually look like they could be told their firstborn just died and they wouldn’t blink
- Characters from Pokemon and Jojo first starred in their first fighting game within 2 months of one another (Heritage for the Future came out December 1, 1998. Super Smash Bros came out January 21, 1999)
- The 3rd part introduced brand new battle concepts that went on to become mainstays (stands/double battles)
- Part 4 is the only part to feature the antagonist successfully using a bomb (Great Marsh in Platinum, Kira in DIU. This one might need some citation because KQ is in Jojolion and I havent read it yet)
- Part 3 features incredibly strong sunlight being detrimental to the heroes
- Part 4 has “Diamond” in the title
