Trivia

 * According to an interview with Araki, Jonathan's name was inspired by a family restaurant, "Jonathan's," at which he and his editor would frequently meet late at night to discuss ideas.
 * Araki admits having made Jonathan too much of a good guy, and if he were to draw him over again, the protagonist would display much more of the "weaknesses of his heart."
 * An appendix note in the JOJO A-GO!GO! artbook clears up the mystery of Jonathan having some sort of stand power. It states that the ability DIO uses only once during Part III: Stardust Crusaders, to create a vision on a crystal ball, is actually a stand power which awoke in Jonathan's body. It is revealed in Over Heaven that this stand is also called Hermit Purple and actually belongs to Jonathan, not DIO. Due to Dio stealing his body, DIO was given his stand ability.
 * Jonathan is the first JoJo to die within the same arc he debuts in.
 * Much like Joseph & Jotaro after him, Jonathan was loosly inspired by Hokuto No Ken's Kenshiro.
 * Jonathan is the oldest JoJo to have gone on an adventure, having started his adventure at the age of 20. The other JoJos started in their mid-to-late teens (Joseph - 18, Jotaro - 17, Josuke - 16, Giorno - 15, Jolyne - 19, Johnny - 19, Josuke (Jojolion) - approx. 17-19).
 * Jonathan, Josuke, Joseph and Giorno, are the only Jojo protagonists to completly lose the battles they faced were in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle League.
