JOJO MEME<br />

For every anime to gain<br />

traction, it most certainly<br />

cannot be done without its very<br />

own set of memes made by its<br />

dedicated fanbase, and let’s just<br />

say some fans have a unique<br />

sense of humor.<br />

Other mangas and animes have<br />

also paid homage to JoJo, the<br />

sudden change in art style with<br />

the glamorous looking artstyle<br />

and serious detail makes it<br />

instantly recognisable. No Game<br />

No Life, Hayate the Combat<br />

Butler and many others have had<br />

their ‘JoJo’ moments, certainly<br />

bring delight into the hearts of<br />

the JoJo fans. But this has also<br />

proven how deeply influential<br />

JoJo had on others, whether<br />

good or bad.<br />

Especially within the English<br />

community, memes have always<br />

been present on online forums,<br />

whether it is Reddit, 4chan, or<br />

the comment section of Youtube.<br />

And Dio has certainly gained<br />

his fame with one of the most<br />

famous memes with ‘It was me,<br />

Dio!’. As the second coming of<br />

Rick Roll, Dio’s face appeared at<br />

unexpected timings, at the end of<br />

misleading links (especially on<br />

Reddit) or as a substitute for the<br />

instruction manual, trolling the<br />

unwary into a trap.<br />
