In the 6th Chapter of the game, When you examine a mask in the Boss's office the boss will make a comment on how spikes will come out of the mask if you put it on. When the mask is examined again in the 18th or final chapter of the game Iris will make a comment that she wants to wear the mask and Date will reply that if she wears it and get her blood on it she'll become a vampire. Both of these are references to the [[Stone Mask]] from [[Phantom Blood]].

In PSYNCIN' IN THE SWaiN, while Ota is about to be attacked in the warehouse, Ota thinks "I eventually stopped thinking" in his head. This is a reference to the line "Kars eventually stopped thinking" from ''[[Battle Tendency]]''.

Director Hideki Kamiya has mentioned during a commentary that, much like Sex Pistols, each of the five devils have their own personality, and have a number written on their foreheads, with the #4 (or the #2 in the case of the little devils) missing as it may be considered very unlucky by Zero, the King of the Little Devils.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDIb4oOUzFc#t=2m50s</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/PG_kamiya/status/983325394819403781</ref>

In the ''Castlevania''-inspired indie game, main protagonist Miriam does two ''JoJo''-esque poses if the player holds up on the joystick for a few seconds.
[[File:Miriam Poses.mp4|thumb|left|Miriam's poses|120px]]
She can obtain an equippable accessory named the "Stone Mask", with its description reading "''A stone mask once used by a tribal chief during ritual sacrifices.''"

She can also obtain the "Hyperventilator" which looks like Joseph's training mask from Part 2, with its description "''A mask designed to push the wearer to his or her physical limit.''" The "Voice changer" item is a color swap of the Hyperventilator.

The "Gambler's Ring" item has a description which reads "''A ring that bestows both '''[[Luck and Pluck|luck and pluck]]''' to would-be gamblers.''"

Throughout the game there is portraits of Kickstarter backers, in the Forbidden Underground Waterway there is a portrait that shows the person doing the [[:File:Kakyoin ToG Pose.png|pose]] of [[Noriaki Kakyoin]] from [[Chapter 123]].

Late into the game, the player can be challenged by NPC Orlok Dracule, or O.D., to a secret boss fight. Upon his defeat, he gives Miriam a shard with the powerful ability "Standstill" that allows her to stop time. While the spell itself is inspired by the Stopwatch sub-weapon from the ''Castlevania'' series, the audiovisual presentation is distinctly different and in clear reference to The World; The visual effect of Standstill's activation resembles The World's time stop from the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (OVA)|OVA]], while the sound effect replicates that of the time stop from the [[Stardust Crusaders (Anime)|''Stardust Crusaders'' anime]].<ref>https://youtu.be/hqvEcElt4Gw?t=209</ref>

According to director Shutaro Iida, the [[Golden Wind (Anime)|''Golden Wind'' anime]] was what kept him going during the production of the game.<ref>{{Citation|url=https://twitter.com/CurryHermit/status/1378679288094846985|author=@CurryHermit|date=April 4, 2021|platform=Twitter|title=ジョジョ6部アニメ化来たか! ブラッドステインド制作中、私の心を支えたのは5部のアニメだった。これでまた頑張れそう。}}</ref>

In the item description for the purchasable "Monkey Village Germany Flag" cosmetic, the game makes a reference to [[Rudol von Stroheim]]'s infamous quote, "Nazi science is the greatest in the world!", which notably was later changed in the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation|anime]] to "'''German''' science is the greatest in the world!".

''{{W|Brawl Stars}}'' is a multiplayer online third-person hero shooter video game developed and published by Finnish video game company {{W|Supercell}}, releasing worldwide on December 12 in 2018 for {{W|App Store (iOS/iPadOS)|iOS}} and {{W|Google Play|Android}} devices. The game features a variety of distinct game modes which players can compete in with a wide selection of "Brawlers".

In the animation promoting the game's "Starr Toon" season on January 4, 2024, at around 42 seconds into the video, the animation style changes into anime. This switching of animation styles happens many times throughout the video to reference different animation media. During the anime style is a shot that highly resembles the infamous panel from {{Ch|Chapter 256}} in which [[Jotaro]] and [[DIO]] walk to towards each other, a panel that has cemented itself in internet meme culture. In DIO's place is Colette in her "Pinku Pawlette" skin which released in the season's update; and Colt, another Brawler, takes Jotaro's place, although sitting down rather than walking like Jotaro does.

[[File:Castlevania_Stone_Mask.png|thumb|150px|Stone Mask from Curse of Darkness]]
A Stone Mask can be found in the library in ''Castlevania: Symphony of the Night'', which is where [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]] and [[Dio Brando|Dio]] studied the properties of the [[Stone Mask]]. It appears again in ''Castlevania: Curse of Darkness'', with an appearance much more akin to the one's found in JoJo. In ''Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin'' the Stone Mask can only be equipped by Jonathan Morris, a possible reference to Jonathan Joestar. 

Also in these two games exist a sub-weapon type called Steel Balls, originally localized as Iron Balls in ''Symphony of the Night'', which are used to be thrown at enemies similar to the identically named [[Steel Balls]] used by [[Gyro Zeppeli]].

{{W|Kiyoyuki Yanada}}'s performance as [[Jotaro Kujo]] in the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Drama CD)|Stardust Crusaders Drama CD]]'' was apparently the reason for his role as Richter Belmont in ''Symphony of the Night''. Toshiharu Furukawa, who worked on the design and writing for ''Symphony of the Night'', had told Shutaro Iida that was how the voice was decided.<ref>{{Citation|url=https://twitter.com/CurryHermit/status/1410971950474698753|author=@CurryHermit|date=July 2, 2021|platform=Twitter|title=ジョジョ3部のドラマCDでDIOを若本さん、承太郎を梁田さんがCVされてますよね。月下のゲームデザインをされた古川さんから「これで声決めたよ」と昔、教えていただきました。}}</ref>

In ''Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance'', if the Sacred Fist sub-weapon is used without a Spell Book activated, the protagonist shouts "Ora ora ora!" and unleashes a flurry of extremely fast, blur-like punches (in reference to Star Platinum).

In ''Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow'', a soul called "Guardian Cagnazzo" can be obtained that makes a Cagnazzo demon appear behind the protagonist and punch wildly whilst shouting "Ora ora ora!" also in another reference to Star Platinum. According to programmer Shutaro Iida, the Killer Mantle enemy was initally called "Mr. Donovan"<ref>{{Citation|url=https://twitter.com/CurryHermit/status/1441295037782847488|author=@CurryHermit|date=September 24, 2021|platform=Twitter|title=ソウル図鑑がありがたい。私が最初に敵の一覧書いた時、キラーマントはドノヴァンさんって名前にしてたな}}</ref> in reference to [[Donovan]].<ref>{{Citation|url=https://twitter.com/CurryHermit/status/1441398447546900487|author=@CurryHermit|date=September 24, 2021|platform=Twitter|title=The answer is in JOJO Part 2.}}</ref>

In ''Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow'', one of the boss characters, Zephyr, utilizes time stopping abilities in conjunction with knives (much like [[DIO]]). Zephyr even shouts "Toki wo tomare" (Time has stopped). His fight taking place on top of Cursed Clock Tower is also a reference to the DIO fight in ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]''. According to programmer Shutaro Iida, the Puppet Master boss was inspired by [[Surface]].<ref>{{Citation|url=https://twitter.com/CurryHermit/status/1646544984852807680|author=@CurryHermit|date=April 13, 2023|platform=Twitter|title=位置を入れ替える人形というソウルをジョジョ4部のサーフィスから閃いたので、敵側でも使えないかと思考しながらゲームデザインした記憶があります。}}</ref>

In ''Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia'', a boss named Blackmore, likely a reference to [[Blackmore]], attacks with a shadow similar to [[Sethan]]. While attacking, he poses like [[Narancia Ghirga]], [[Guido Mista]], and [[Pannacotta Fugo]] during their "Torture Dance", as well as [[Risotto Nero]] when he first attacks [[Vinegar Doppio]].}}

Collapse=true|height=auto|Textalign=left|Link=true|Title=Danganronpa series
|The Danganronpa series features many references, scattered all across its three main games.
In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc:
*During his initial introduction in the Japanese version of the game, the protagonist, Makoto Naegi, points out that he does not have a [[Stand]].
*The delinquent Mondo Owada is a homage to [[Josuke Higashikata]], sporting a pompadour hairstyle and is easily offended when people make fun of it. He is also the leader of a motorcycle gang named the [[Crazy Diamond]]s.
*The villain of the game, Junko Enoshima, has multiple personalities, with one of them acting similar to [[DIO]] while also striking a pose similar to one DIO does. In Japanese, she also says "Muda, Muda, Muda" during her Bullet Time Battle.
*One of the items the player can gift is called the Meteorite Arrowhead, a blatant reference to the [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]].

In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair (also known as Super Danganronpa 2):
*The character Teruteru Hanamura mentions that people can tell if others are lying by the taste of their sweat, a reference to the same tactic used by [[Bruno Bucciarati]].
*During an argument between the two, Monokuma attacks Monomi with a [[Heaven's Door]] parody, and in another occasion attacks her with a flurry of punches while screaming "ORA ORA ORA!!!" and launching her into a trashcan.
*While discussing the fictional videogame "Twilight Syndrome Murder Case", Ibuki Mioda states that "Twilight's Hidden Passageway is the world's beeeeest!" The sentence, alongside the mannerisms of speech and dialect she adopts for this sentence, are likely a reference to [[Rudol von Stroheim]] and his infamous quote, "German technology is the best in the world!"

In Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony (also known as New Danganronpa V3):
*Tsumugi Shirogane states that "thinking logically in these situations is of no use", and that she has decided to "eventually stop thinking altogether", referencing [[Kars]]'s final fate. Later on, she also remarks "We win! Part 3 is over!", referencing a line said by [[ZZ]].
*Gonta Gokuhara states that a thing he heard gentlemen do is "go on adventures to find [[Stone Mask|stone masks]]".
*One of the items the player can gift in Killing Harmony resembles [[Giorno Giovanna|one of Giorno’s ladybug brooches]].

[[File:DarkSoulsThornArmor.png|150px|left|thumb|Satake and Miyazaki discussing the armor of thorns]]
According to the interview between Dark Souls' Director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, and Concept Artist, Daisuke Satake, found in ''Design Works'' artbook, the design of the Set of Thorns originated from the concept of the trial of the [[77 Rings]]. In the challenge, combatants must defeat each other and wear the metal rings from each foe, increasing the weight they bear as they continue. The team's original idea was to use this design and try adding spikes to the rings, though it deviated along the way.

Just before the Iron Golem boss, you can summon a white phantom named Black Iron Tarkus, which is likely a reference to [[Tarkus]], as along with their matching names, they are both large powerful warriors who carry unwieldy weapons and thick armor.

In the files of Dark Souls II, it was discovered through datamining that numerous enemies in the game had special Japanese reference names. Two of these were the Executioner's Chariot and Darklurker. The Executioner's Chariot's reference name was  '''シルバーチャリオット''' (Silver Chariot), which is a reference to the Stand [[Silver Chariot]]. Darklurker's Japanese reference name on the other hand was '''アガドゥラン の スタンド''' (Agdayne's Stand), which is a reference to the concept of [[Stands]] and how the Darklurker may have originally been intended to be a Stand like being for Grave Warden Agdayne (a minor NPC in Dark Souls II).
[[File:DS2 Referene Name Files.png|635px|left|thumb|File names for the Executioner's Chariot and Draklurker found by dataminers]]

In Dark Souls III, a boss called High Lord Wolnir can be fought in the Catacombs of Carthus. He bears a striking resemblance to Enya Geil's Stand [[Justice]]. He is a colossal skeleton wearing a crown, and even uses fog to attack the players.

During this, three TC members can be seen doing the ''Torture Dance'' performed by [[Narancia Ghirga]], [[Guido Mista]] and [[Pannacotta Fugo]] from [[Vento Aureo]]. The name of the members are "Pasta Primavera", "Figaro Mulligatawny", and "Parmezza Lasagne", likely a reference to the fact that most of the characters in Vento Aureo are named after food.

Choosing "Spirit Mode" in the '''Revenged''' route will play a cutscene in which Henry and the Right Hand Man battle with Stand-like entities named "Spirits". Henry's Spirit is named "Reference" with the [[Stand Cry]] "Failure! Failure! Failure!" a possible reference to [[DIO]]'s Stand Cry "Useless! Useless! Useless!". The Right Hand Man's Spirit is named "Time in a Bottle", a reference to the {{W|Time in a Bottle|Jim Croce song of the same name}}, and is localized to "Bottled Time" in the subtitles, referencing localization of musical references in JoJo. The cutscene ends as a typical episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure would, with the endcard arrow instead reading "Mission Failed".

In the endcard of the '''Cleaned 'em Out''' route, the [[Stone Mask]] can be seen on the wall behind Henry as an item that he steals from the Toppat Clan.

The fail message displayed when attempting to bribe Mr. Macbeth in the '''Little Nest Egg''' route reads, "Henry really bribes? No dignity." referencing a quote from the "Duwang" translation of [[Diamond is Unbreakable]], where [[Josuke Higashikata]] secretly attempts to dissuade [[Yukako Yamagishi]] from falling in love with [[Koichi Hirose]].

In the '''Special BROvert Ops''' route, one of the members of the Toppat Clan, Ken Janpon, is a reference to [[Ken Oyanagi]], as both are seen with a hole in their cheek and play rock, paper, scissors. In his bio it is also stated that "People feel weaker after losing to him." referencing Ken's stand [[Boy II Man]].

In the '''Just Plain Epic''' route, one of the security guards is named Joseph Jo, a reference to [[Joseph Joestar]].

Dan the Man from the '''Convict Allies''' route has his bio reference [[Steely Dan]]'s localized name of "Dan of Steel". His bio states "He wanted to go by "Dan of Steel" but it was taken."

Zanzo can later be seen performing the "Torture Dance" that [[Narancia Ghirga]], [[Guido Mista]], and [[Pannacotta Fugo]] do in [[Chapter 462]] while ordering his robots to make his hologram more elaborate. During the final confrontation against Zanzo, he performs [[Josuke Higashikata]]'s pose from [[Volume 36]] and [[Jotaro Kujo]]'s pose from [[Volume 13]]. After connecting with his robot, he does a pose that, while not directly taken from a specific character, is drawn in an art style extremely similar to that of [[Stardust Crusaders]].

Qhotaro is near a pier and described as a bizarre man with blue hair, who says that his haircut is unforgettable, referencing Josuke's infatuation with his hair. Lord PIO is described as a bird man capable of flying and can be seen with his subordinates near a haunted hotel. His appearance is a mix of DIO's shirt and jacket but without sleeves, and Magician's Red's body.

There is also an enemy-only ability that is called Bites The Dust, which is likely a reference to the [[Killer Queen#Killer Queen Bites the Dust|ability]] of the same name.

The options are to strike the same pose, leave them be, or strike a more fierce pose. If you choose to strike a more fierce pose, there is a chance for the demon to respond with "I see real bizarre adventure in our future, ho!" and join the player's party unconditionally.

The game also features an armor set called the "Stardust armor" that allows the player to summon a spiritual guardian when all the pieces are worn. The guardian will float directly behind the player, and the player can order the guardian to move and attack enemies. The animation for the guardian's attack bears a strong resemblance to the infamous beatdown of [[Steely Dan]]. The armor was intended as a reference to Algalon The Observer from the game ''World of Warcraft'', but Re-Logic embraced the guardian's striking similarity to a Stand, changing its attack to a Stand barrage in update 1.4. The changelog for the ''Journey's End'' update also states that "all resemblance to a certain anime is purely coincidental."
