It's quite amusing considering that the creator of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure also has a strong interest in fashion. I can't help but wonder if Tite Kubo aimed for his art to exude the same vibe as JoJo's but perhaps dialed it down a bit to avoid being a direct replica. This becomes particularly evident in the later arcs of Bleach, where Kubo's artistic skills noticeably improve, and some characters seem to bear a resemblance to those from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.You know, Viv reminds me of Tite Kubo of Bleach fame. Like Viv, Kubo has a massive ego and is a character designer first and a writer last (he originally wanted to be a fashion designer), with their creative end results being awful stories with bloated underdeveloped casts while squandering what little narrative potential there was in the beginning.
But I will give Kubo credit, as while Bleach is still a trash fire rife with stupid contrivances, He had a better grasp of writing fundamentals and character development than Viv does who writes like a child with a skewed perception of what adults like. I'll take convoluted overambitious bullshit work over one that aims to be shit because at least the former makes an attempt.
To think a creator in the rare position to break the mold would default to using it and make another paint-by-numbers adult cartoon wrapped in a more distinct aesthetic.
Hirohiko Araki's impact on the manga world is undeniable, with even series like Undead Unluck drawing inspiration from JoJo's. From wild power-ups to intricate worldbuilding and characters with impressive physiques, the influence is clear. Notably, Undead Unluck features a god engaged in a perpetual game that involves blowing up the planet multiple times – a concept reminiscent of JoJo's elaborate storytelling.
It's intriguing that Undead Unluck seems to carry the torch of JoJo's legacy. While not a direct copy, the shared DNA is unmistakable, given JoJo's status as one of the most significant manga of its time. Virtually every series has taken a cue from Araki's work, and it has left an indelible mark on the history of manga.
Yoshifumi Tozuka, the creator of Undead Unluck, openly acknowledges Araki's influence on both the manga and anime realms through JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It's fascinating to consider how the landscape of manga might be different if JoJo's hadn't achieved the iconic status it did many years ago. Undoubtedly, Tozuka's creation, Undead Unluck, owes its existence to the groundbreaking impact of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure on the world of manga and anime.
