Trivia

 * JoJolion's title is derived from the word "Evangelion" which means evangelistic or "blessed thing." By combining the word with JoJo Araki means to symbolize the main protagonist Josuke in that way.
 * It is the longest JoJo part in publication and by page number, having been published almost up to 10 years, and with the most amount of pages out of any previous part.
 * This part continues the trend of referencing events from the previous JoJo parts through its antagonists. Picking up from where 7 left off, the characters are as follows:
 * Yoshikage Kira directly references Yoshikage Kira from Part 4; they both also posses the same Stand, Killer Queen.
 * Satoru Akefu/ Tooru parallel Diavolo/ Doppio in that Tooru and Diavolo are both the leaders of their respective organizations, but hide behind a false persona in order to keep their identities a secret.
