Zennyata and mondatta being a jojo refrence?

Okay, im probably goijg to get hate about being a jojo fan, but i was watching stardust crusaders and just finished the episode with zennyata and his brother mondatta and it got me thinking,

is both the omnics, zennyata and mondatta from overwatch possibly a refrence to this particular episode of jojo?

No no no no no

Yes yes yes

Zenyatta Mondatta is also the name of The Police’s third album.

I always figured their names were a reference to that.

Eh, maybe? Sorta? On one hand the combination of the two names might be a thing. On the other hand fans of Jo Jo’s Bizarre Adventure think that everything is a reference to it. A fan on another forum was arguing that elements of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) were references to Jo Jo. Strange fandom.

That’s what the reference is supposed to be. Not Jojo.

Seriously, not everything is a Jojo reference…

Sure is. There’s a running joke that everything is a JoJo reference since the series references A LOT of things.

Pretty much everything in JoJo’s is a reference to something. Not a surprise that Overwatch and JoJo happen to reference the same source material.

Im not considering anything a jojo refrence unless on the surface it seems like it

No, it’s a reference to the " The Police" Album Zenyatta Mondatta. Released on October 3, 1980.

Edit: Great album, btw, Highly suggest listening if you’ve never heard it.

Yeah…i noticed after i watched the episode completely

Yesnt, both are based off the Zenyatta Mondatta album, the creator of jojo often draws from albums and the like for names of characters stands, and zenyatta and mondatta were named after the same album

jojo have a lot of references and artists have a lot of references in general.
zenyatta and mondatta have some bigger and older reference most peoplea aren’t as aware of.

zenyatta and mondatta are from something completely different from the artists representations of it.
