In every volume of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, the front folded flap of the dust jacket usually contains a picture of Hirohiko Araki himself, and more than often a quotation. The quotes featured below the picture are always different from each other, and are usually about Araki expressing his opinion on certain subjects. These subjects can be about anything, including information about characters or the story itself. This section's notes are from the volumes of Stardust Crusaders and were translated in the English version published by VIZ Media.

In this volume, a new ability called a Stand is introduced. Stands are psychic powers given a visible form and shape. Traditionally, these kinds of powers were shown with light and electric effects, or through aftereffects like crumbling buildings. I asked myself, "How can I express this invisible power?" That's how I came up with Stands.
Now let's begin a new adventure with Jotaro and his friends!

この巻から『スタンド』と呼ばれる新しい能力が出てきますが、それは超能力を絵でイメージ化したものです。
従来の超能力はビルを崩したり光や電気のようなものでパワーの強さを表現していました。目に見えない超能力、それ自体を表現できないかなぁと思って考え出したのが『スタンド』です。
さあ！ 承太郎たちといっしょに新しい冒険の旅にでかけましょう。

When you start working in the real world, you're often asked to trade business cards. But ever since I became a manga artist, I've had to say, "Oh, I don't have a business card. Sorry!" Well, I've finally designed a business card with the mark you see above on it.
I designed it with the big callus on the finger, a badge of honor for manga artists, so that people can somewhat figure out what profession I work in even when I go overseas for research.

In the early 1980s, I lived in Sendai. Back then I used to send photocopies of my corrected manuscripts to my publisher by postal mail. One photocopy cost me 40 yen (about 40 cents) per page. After the publisher received it I'd have to talk to them on the phone and discuss it. After a while this became a pain, so I moved to Tokyo by myself.
Now faxes and color copiers are much better than they were back then. If they had been available back in the day, I doubt I would have moved to Tokyo. Lately I'm really seeing how times have changed.

- You can reread a book and see a movie over and over and enjoy it as much as the first time.
- If you make an inconvenient promise, you can pretend that you forgot about it and still be forgiven.
- This is the most important thing: you can keep coming up with ideas without being held back by convictions or the past.
