What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the song in the intro download my new album ‘Blacklist’ now 🖤 www.knoxhillmusic.com

The acid trip known as the "oingo boingo" ending was dedicated for two joke villains known as the oingo boingo brothers, who only appeared like two times in the whole series

JJBA endings be like: • classic rock • ambient instrumental track • OINGO BOINGO BROTHERS

The creator of JBA is a giant fan of Western music. As such, many of the Stands are named after bands and songs and those names have to be changed when it comes over into America. Sometimes they are hilarious and other times you don't know what they were thinking. It is a series truly worthy of having the word Bizarre in its title. Also definitely check out the openings! They are all bangers and bops, though they can be filled with out of context spoilers

The first two outros are “Roundabout” by Yes. The creator of JoJo really loved 70s/80s rock as many characters are named for famous bands and artists.

19:32 for clarification: Part 1 takes place in the 1880s, Part 2 is in 1939, Part 3 in 1988-1989, Part 4 in 1999, 5 in 2001, and 6 in 2011-2012.

Since you reacted to all JOJO Bizzare Adventure endings, you should proceed with reacting to all the JOJO Bizzare Adventure Openings, it would be an incredible journey to experience since the intros/openings are even better than the endings/outros.

There are 6 parts that are animated until now and there are 8 parts in total in the manga. All parts have different protagonists

The endings are actually what the manga artist was listening to while he was drawing each different part of the series. And you gotta do the openings, they slap for sure.

The face of someone seeing the Oingo Biongo brothers ending for the first time will never stop being hilarious to me

Last Train Home definitely is the saddest one. I still feel pain from it to this day. Salute to the bois o\

"This show has style." That should describe it the best. From the visuals to voice acting to the story, which has a lot of refrences to classics as well.

Opening reaction of JoJo's is a must now. Heads up : Once you go JoJo you never come back....

Just copped the new album. Been awhile since I’ve heard such a cerebral artist. Excellent word play in Hip Hop Is Dead.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is originally a manga by the legendary Hirohiko Araki which started publishing in 1986 but the anime has only started airing in 2012 and neither one of the two versions are finished. The western influence you mentioned is a BIG part of the story and has its presence throughout the entire journey. The author himself is obsessed with western pop culture, music, fashion etc. and at a certain point of the story he even started calling basically every fictional power he creates for his characters after popular bands or artists from the west (for example there are characters with powers called "Red Hot Chilli Peppers" or "Vanilla Ice" and MANY more). The story is, as you already realized, really bizarre and kind of all over the place but everything is connected and makes sense so it is not just random, although there is a fun "randomness" to it which makes up a big part of the charm of the series. For me this manga/anime really is special since you will not find anything like it anywhere else, it has its very own character that defines the show and it is just overall a really fun show to watch/read! Over the last few years the anime really exploded in popularity and the author even had his own art exhibition at the Louvre in Paris as well as many collaborations with popular brands such as Gucci which should speak to the quality of the work he has created :D Great reaction Knox and I hope you will also listen to the openings since they are at least as great as the endings if not even better imo!

JoJo Openings are Legendary! Highly recommend you react to them, just make sure you find a video with all of them though, a few have different versions of the same opening with some key differences

This guy got the part 6 ending vibe fucking perfectly.

I'll admit I'm bummed by it being the endings and not the openings, but I'll recognize the endings are more appropriate for this channel.

This has always struck me as a strange way to introduce oneself to something. Openings/Endings exist like curtain risers/closers and are part of the story itself. A compilation seems more made for those who have already seen the show. However, it seems to work surprisingly well at teasing out what is both compelling and truly bizzare about this series. More than any description I could type, this summarizes JOJO's.

You should watch the series man. The word “bizarre” hits so many highs throughout each iteration of the Joestar lineage. The crazy part is how the creator reinvents each JoJo to be their own character but still carry on. The intros and outros are just amazing and follow the timelines kind of closely as well. Aside from the first two generations of JoJo’s that is. But yeah everything people are saying the comments is completely on point. The series is an awesome adventure story and builds.

19:30 Answer: Yes Jokes aside, each part has a different main protagonist and with it a different point in time. So we can’t just say it takes place in the 80’s cause that would only apply for one part

Yeah if you watch Jojo’s you’ll realize Araki (The creator of JoJo) REALLY likes Western music and you’ll see TONS of music references in the names, etc!

Finally, a thing that beats your breakdowns, seeing you so lost was a treat to the eyes lmao. You HAVE to listen to all Jojo's openings, maybe as a refresher since the lyrics are mostly in Japanese.

Gotta love how Professor Knox takes us on these musical adventures that we didn't know we needed. 🙌

Finally someone who recognize the songs. There's 2 songs that were part of my childhood (I remember hearing them a lot in the radio), but in the majority of the reaction videos, there's only a few ones who really knows/recognize them :/

Gotta check out Jojo, Knox. It is over the top in all of the best of ways. All seasons including the one currently being dubbed are all out on Netflix! Time for a marathon! The story of Jojo follows a generational lineage. It switches perspectives between multiple main characters. Like Jonathan Joestar and his grandson Joseph Joestar, Jotaro Kujoh, etc. They all get the nickname "Jojo" because of Jo and Jo in their respective names.

The series are about several generations of the same family, and the nickname JoJo is passed from father to son, to grandson or granddaughter and so on. Each of their first and last names starts with "Jo". That's why you see characters change so much))

Last train home is depressing if you get it

U should react to the themes. Theyre sick. Each jojo season the main character has its own theme. Famous memes and songs. U should react.

The first two songs are the song Roundabout by Yes. JoJo uses a lot of Western musical influences/names for characters and abilities.

I love people’s reaction to the Boingo endings 😂 even in context their ridiculous af.

Except for Roundabout and the Oingo/Boingo/Hol Horse songs, the endings are just random songs that the author loved, vaguely related to the theme of the part (like part 3 takes place in Egypt, so the ending is Walk like an Egyptian). What's really cool about music in Jojo is the openings. Every single one of them has become legendary, and would need its own react video imo. There's so much to talk about, in terms of lyrics, delivery, instruments and ofc visuals. (But they are in a sort of mix between japanese and english, so it would be hard to really react to the true lyrics i guess)

It's literally Generational, that's why the music changes with each outro, because each season is literally a different time period following different characters

FYI the really weird comic outros are for 2 episodes, and are definitly not normal for the show

19:32 The series is generational and takes place at different time periods. Part 1 - 1880s Part 2 - 1938 Part 3 - 1989 Part 4 - 1999 Part 5 - 2001 Part 6 - 2011

After watching Knox for years to see him slowly come into the anime scene, I knew this was inevitable but now it's here. Knox has finally found himself on one of my favourite animes and I'm excited because of how much musical influence is wrapped up in this show I'm sure Knox is gonna love that!!

19:31 "When is the decade... this is supposed to take place in?" "Yes." Not even a cheeky "yes." Whatever decade _it is_ set in, it's *set* in that decade. If you worship pop culture like everyone else, you'll never wonder "what year is this supposed to be happening?"

Knox: I have no idea what's going on right now. Me: Ah, I see you understand the show. That... that's the show. It's right in the title. "Bizarre". It's crazy. It's stupid. It's weird. Sometimes it's creepy. And somehow... it's good.

Seeing people react to the Oingo & Boingo ED always makes my day

at 9:00 i saw him smiling at the the shakers, while i'm sitting here crying my eyes dry because of what happens before this plays

A lot of the openings are bangers as well (a lot better than the endings imo) so looking forward to seeing you react to those

9:02 the full version picks up in the end with vocals! The song is by the Pat Metheny Group!

5:46 "What do we have walk like an egyptian coming.... Yeah, oh shit!"

You need to react to the openings, make sure to hear all versions of every opening especially OP 9

How has this man never heard roundabout???

The songs are perfectly selected for each part and fit the mood and theme of what's happening. The "Last Train Home" ending (The 4th) can make you cry if you knew the whole deal.

I knew you wouldn't be prepared for the Oingo Boingo Brothers ending, that was absolutely hilarious and alot of the endings are from popular bands, personal favorite of I want you Savage Garden in part 4

Now that you've come this far you might as well react to all jojo openings

For the record, all the jojo’s exit songs are popular American songs through the years. My favorite is the first one, Roundabout by Yes. Would love to see you react to the full song.

"Some interesting positions going on here." Welcome to the world of JoJo poses. Arak I was heavily inspired by Greco-Roman sculptures and classic art depicting people in these crazy poses and they became a staple of the entire JoJo Experience

The two really weird endings are just when the oingo bonigo brothers are on an episode. The reason it’s like this is the little one has a book that can show the near future, but it’s in the same style as the outro. Also the time period it takes place in changes for each part. The earliest part is late 1800s while the most modern is ~2011

Holy shit, forgot how good these endings are. THE best.

okay what you said about "the end of a journey" for the part 6 ending lowkey hurt

The key is that the JoJo parts are in different times, and following different characters. The music fits the zeitgeist, and yes it is bizarre.

The intros are always lit with ur music🔥🔥.By the way Bruh can react to "Nutshell pt2" It has busta rhymes,phife dawg and Redman.Can't wait for your reaction

Always fun to see the reaction to the Oingo Boingo Brothers endings, nobody ever expects them.

Listen to the Joestar Cypher and the JoJo Villains cypher, they've both got some great word play. There's also the Yoshikage Kira rap featuring CDawgVA that has some good doubles.

As for time periods each part takes place in. Part 1: 1880s Part 2: 1939 Part 3: 1987 Part 4: 1999 Part 5: 2001 Part 6: 2011

Knox: which decade is this anime in? Us: yes.

JoJo has amazing Endings

a fun thing about this first ending the name of the song is Roundabout by the band Yes! in episode of the first season(24 episodes) it plays a part of this 8 and a half minutes song. in the end of the first season it plays the song completely twice also , the second play of the song start in the episode the anime change protagonists (the first season is composed of the two first parts of the anime)

THE part 6 ending : "gives a sort of end of life feeling" ; - ;

I never realized the second ending for part 2 picks up where the last one ended.

ed 1 & 2 : roundabout by yes (part 1 & 2) ed 3: walk like an Egyptian by the bangles (part 3 season 1) ed 4: last train home by pat methany (part 3 season 2) ed 5: oingo boingo brothers (part of a few episodes in part 3 that were very mostly jokes) ed 6: hol horse boingo copy (part 3 joke episodes again) ed 7: i want you by savage garden (part 4) ed 8 & 9: freek'n you by jodeci (part 5) ed 10: modern crusaders by enigma (part 5) ed 11: distant dreamer by duffy (part 6)

22:19 holy shit that observation was spot on

Araki(author) is a huge western music fan. Also gotta check the openings, they are bangers One of the best anime/manga aswell

Hey Knox! Really enjoy your reactions and your music. I bump your music all the time on my speakers

19:38 "When is the decade this place takes in?" Yes. Late 1800s, 1940s, 1980s, 1990s, early 2000s, late 2000s

React to the openings please, they literally tell the entire plot of the part, but the best part is you don't even know if you're being spoiled since you have no context about it. But yeah, the endings are just the calm AFTER the storm, the openings are kicking in with way more music. If you DO react to them, make sure it's the most recent, as Stone Ocean just came out and it might not include its opening.

"What decade is this meant to take place in?" Yes

Knox, you have to see this "We Don't Talk About Bruno" parody, called "We Don't Talk About Pluto" it is all the fun of an Encanto song, with a science twist. That seems like a perfect reaction for you. It is a by Jon Pumper if you want to look it up and not click the link below. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7CAe65ms7TYoIU.html

It's actually common for anime to use license music both in and outside of Japan. So western songs have been used by other series.

Im 3 mins in, but Yeah jojos author araki is famous, besides his art style and fashion sense, for all the 20th century music refferences in his work. Of the top of my head:pink floyd, Prince, queen, david bowie, etc.

Knox: "What is the decade this anime takes place in?" me: "Um...yes."

Late 1800’s, 1938, late 80’s, mid 90’s, late 90’s, 2011, late 1800’s and then not sure.

Last Train Home is literally so sad After the ending of P6 ill have to say Distant Dreamer is too

Moment of silence for last train home

Yess. I love that you reacted to my favorite anime. The music of jojo is brilliant ❤️❤️

Please react to the jojo openings

Knox: "Where we going now?" Home. :'(

the series is a bit difficult to explain what its about, but basically it starts with old school drama and magical sunshine karate to an almost indiana jones vibe with aztec vampires, to a buddy road trip movie with psychic punching ghosts to a murder mystery whodunnit in a small town to a mafia movie to a prison break part. at least all the anime so far, differs a bit more going further

"When is the decade that this anime series is supossed to take place in?" Part 1: late 1880's Part 2: late 1930's Part 3: late 1980's Part 4: late 1990's Part 5: early 2000's Part 6: early 2010's

The last ending is the true ending for JoJo series you were on spot

Knox you fucking Legend! Jojo's has been my favourite series since before it became popular in the west. It features so many songs from the west. It's been memed so many times with the to be continued memes, among others. The manga came out in the 80s I believe and is the 9th bestselling ongoing manga series of all time. The plot centers around the protagonist named Jojo but each part takes place through different time periods, Part 1 Phantom Blood takes place in the 1800s in Britain and features the protagonist named Johnathan Joestar the first protagonist of the series and Dio Brando, who was taken in by his father because Jojo owes a debt to Dio Brando's dead father, Dio is the antagonist for most of the series Part 2: Battle Tendency takes place in around WW2 and in America (mostly) features the protagonist of Joseph Joestar with the Plot continuing from the first part, Its hard to explain the series without spoiling it Part 3: my personal favourite is StarDust Crusaders and features Jotaro Kujo, the most prominent Joestar in the series. (This part I believe takes place in America in the 80s at first and then transitions to multiple countries In Africa like Egypt Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable is Of Josuke Higashita who is also a Joestar but it's complicated to completely explain without spoiling it and is like a slice of life anime mixed in with the protagonists trying to find a killer in this town called Morioh (somewhere in Japan I believe, and takes place in the 90s Part 5: Golden Wind Features Giorno Giovanna In Italy who wants to become the head of the mobsters should take place in the early 2000s Roundabout is from Part 3, Stardust Crusaders and By the Band Called Y.E.S. the same band that had another huge hit back then called Owner Of A Lonely Heart. Second Song is called Walk Like An Egyptian by the Bangles and also from Part 3 because they have to venture to Egypt in the season so it fits. One of the Endings aka the trippy one is of Oingo and Boingo Part 4 outro being Savage Garden with the song from the 90s called "I want you" The rest of the songs I've forgotten the names of but they're all Legendary. The Artist and creator Hirohiko Araki was inspired by artists from the west as I've mentioned, and derives names off of famous and even lesser known bands and artists. From taking inspiration for a character off of David Bowie's likeness to a stand called Metallica or Red Hot Chili Peppers. Then we have characters named Santana as in Carlos Santana, or Led Zeppeli off the band formed in the 60s of course. Shining Diamond is another stand name derived off of the Pink Floyd song called Shine on You Crazy Diamond

I only watch the reaction video of the endings because of the first ending of part 5 gets people everytime 🤣

Just ordered your CD bro. Wanted to support the channel. Plus I dig my doubles and triples.

jojo has in my opinion the best music of all shows that were ever created

Fun fact: The "To be continued" meme is from the first ending and that song is an old 70's song named Roundabout

The reason there are so many western things is because the author/mangaka Hirohiko Araki is OBSESSED with western culture and you see that clearly portrayed in JOJO

The anime/ manga takes place over the history of the joestar family. Each protagonist is the next in the family line. Youl notice the one in the cap and long coat is in more than one part though. Surprised you didn't notice in the intro video.

Knox: "What We got like Walk like an egyptian coming" *Literally is the next song coming*

i love that hes just vibing with the oingo boingo brothers. That music was so good!

The OINGO BOINGO was such a dose of acid but had some sense of humour

3:25 It's funny because it actually is a classic rock hit, and most of the endings are songs from the last few decades, and weren't made for the show

7:40 "where are we going now?" Home. We going home.

The first outro is an actual song the title is "Roundabout" by Yes

12:15 "Was that a horse noise just now?" Me: *Makes horse noises and almost pukes*

The reason that western music is used for the first few outros is because the creator of the show really likes western music and a lot of the character after season 3 have abilities named after popular musicians from western culture.

The last one (distant dreamer) really gonna make me cry...

Gotta love how everyone reacts to the Oingo Boingo outro
