"The trip with Araki-san was great, but there was this one day when he picked a spider off the ground and started licking it."

Rohan in JoJolands: "I'm so badass, I can even materialize myself in other universes! Isn't that cool, Koi...? Oh...Right..." 😢

The man is living the dream. He really is real life Rohan. 🤣

After knowing this now I'm 100% sure Araki got recongized by a fan (like Jodio when he met rohan) during his research in Hawaii, with said fan having a similar reaction to Jodio and goshing all over Araki's manga and even the jojo anime, after all his face is just too iconic in the fandom at this point, it makes sense that would've happened eventually.

I can just imagine Araki furiously writing down notes while witnessing a police brutality lol

We don’t talk about it often, but I adore the way araki draws clouds

And to think that this guy is 60 year old, guy still has a lot of spunk in him.

That Hawaii trip shows Araki's artistic philosophy, which was laid out in Part 4 by Kishibe Rohan: "Reality is the energy that breathes life into a piece of work, and reality itself is entertainment."

I love the way Araki conducts himself. He's actually a genius and i appreciate his dedication. But whoever chose those color schemes in the official pages needs to be questioned by the authorities. It's a war crime for what they did to my boy Usagi 😂

araki with the scally cap is fire

Araki is so effortlessly charming and inspiring as an artist. You can really see the research and attention to detail in his environments

I would love for Araki to publish something that details his style/process when traveling because it seems like the best way to experiance new places

I knew for a fact araki came here cuz I see SO many details about Hawaii in the art that locals recognize

Man I hope araki lives at least another hundred years

Seeing how much he immersed himself into his trip to Hawaii makes me very happy and stoked for the future of Part 9 I have such a great feeling about it

Im from Hawaii and I love the hawaiian vibe Araki is bringing with this part so far. I have a theory about the lava rock and the thing they were fighting last chapter. So in Hawaii its bad luck to take random lava rocks because they might be cursed or attached to a spirit. What if the thing Paco was fighting is a spirit or just trying to return to rock to its original home. Also in Hawaii there are these called aumakua its like a guardian spirit and in a way stands are guardian spirits. Cant wait to see what else Araki cooks up in part 9

Would be funny if Araki also went to an IRS building in Hawaii (if there is one) hinting that the IRS is secretly the main villain. Cause like the whole plot is then getting rich and it would be funny if the IRS came

Araki's curiosity (and how he implemented it in Rohan's character) really has an influence in the way I see the world around me now. I don't write any story but I draw, and I want to make more illustrations with interesting backgrounds, more landscapes and buildings... Seeing him taking pictures of everythings, even the seemingly less interesting elements, make me want to go outside more and take hundreds of pictures. It also connects me more to the city I live in, I want to know its secrets, I want to see the variety of people outside and visit every little shop to feel different kinds of atmospheres. The man has changed the way I see the outside world, damn

Really cool that Araki goes to places in person to research about the culture, environment and life of the people in those places, it definetly makes the stories that he writes more colourful and vibrant in nature.

Araki's limitless physical strength and walking in the sun is the proof that he is the ULTIMATE LIFE FORM!!

This is why I love Araki, he truly loves his series and puts his all into it all so we can enjoy it and for that I will always respect him and be grateful

now I simply hope araki for some wacko reason ends up in my hometown

this is so wholesome ^_^ im so happy for araki

Thanks for the video, it was nice see him enjoying his research

This was cool, thanks for sharing.

When it was first announced that Jojolands was being set in Hawaii I was wondering how he got his information and references. I didn't know that he physically went there. I had thought that he had somehow used Google Maps as a reference and I was lining up background buildings but they never turned out exactly right. I didn't realize he was referencing pictures he took himself. And uh, 1:20 That's not an overpass. One of the points of discussion between me and my friends was whether Araki realized what that was. And even knowing that he went there physically makes me still wonder if he realize that was an elevated rail track.

I’m reading jojolion rn and I’m so excited to read part nine after because I used to live in hawaii^^

now this, This is awesome.

Who else would kill for xForts to do a documentary of Araki? He's such an incredible mangaka

Fuck that this makes me proud of what im reading and seeing

I really hope Araki put some Miracle musical song name into a stand, the two pieces have hawaii in their name

Imagine Araki made a stand out of a song from the album Hawaii: Part II

The jojo narrator just giving facts about the land formation of hawaii is canon 3:52

Amazing video! Really happy that araki is doing what he loves most and that we get amazing stories out of it! His self insert moments with Rohan are some of my favorites

Araki is so cool and it's even inspiring

I lived on Maui for about a year and a half so I totally get why he'd want to set it there. It's lovely and a perfect place to set JoJo

Araki is just HIM fr

I love this man.

Impressive 👍

I wouldn't be surprised if he disappeared for long periods of time during these walks, He's playing out his jojo arc in real life.

Araki was the first Mechanism Male

I used to hate on jojo because of the art style, but when I watched some of the anime I became a jojo fan.

man, I'm just happy that despite his age, Araki is still able to travel around the world and has a never ending creative mind! man is truly THE GOAT! also, happy new year y'all hope are y'all staying safe and hydrated

1:17 as an aging millenial born and raised in simutaneously hype and jarring to see McKinley High School in a Jojo manga panel

4:02 Me Jumpscare!

as someone from hawaii, i am sooooo HAPPY araki goes as far as to research the places he sets his story in and its just so wild seeing your favorite series feature places from your home🥲❤️

He’s been to Florida

W Araki

Da king is back baby he neva miss

Ill say it greatest manga author of all time

Seeing how much he immersed himself into his trip to Hawaii makes me very happy for him and stoked for the future of Part 9! It's gonna be such a great ride! hearth please

I'm still so upset that dutchs gang (From red dead redemption 2) didn't get it thru tahiti😢

Bro wtf he don't look like 60 yrs old, he must use hamon to still look young there is no other way

Happy New Year's eve

Araki is literally Kishibe

I'm 100 percent sure Araki is hamon user

Hopefully he hasn't encountered any stand users along the way...

It really shows in his work - so great!

Do an all stands in jojolion haven’t seen any where else

You are goated

hi

i love araki

Araki is so kawaii dude

I must ask, where did you get the photos from, i was trying to find them but with no succes

Thanks For everything! Look forward to another amazing year 😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Any Hawaiian JoJo Fans Here?

Hawaii moment

This is illegal early

Wish you a happy new year! Thanks for all the hardwork 😊😊😊😊

I like that as it really makes the resulting work genuine

Thought jojolands was set in Scotland

4:02 me jumpscare!

Now in my mind that Camaro has to be blackout red

Everything he does is bizarre man.

Happy new years fellow jojofaygs

I love how committed Araki is for his works!

Stand Proud?

Drug trafficking in kalihi , the man knows

I really got to get back to reading it. Jojolion left such a bad taste i haven't read past chapter 3

Hope one day Araki made a reference to Katy Perry's song "Harleys in Hawaii"

М.

How am i not first

Imagine if Araki met Ezra Miller on Hawaii. The wacky hawaiian adventures of the gender-nonconforming Flash would have given him all the inspiration he needed to make the entirety of part 9 😅

Why didn’t giorno use Ger to stop wonder of u

happy new year
