Quote from another interview (translated by piduai @ tumblr) Araki as a Beatles of the industry, huh www.tumblr.com/piduai/63543...

Fragment from interview from the Golden Kamuy fanbook:
Q: What was the foundation for your style? Is there an artist you were influenced or inspired by?
Noda: Araki Hirohiko-sensei, for sure. During my time as an assistant, many authors told me to not even try to be original when it comes to battle abilities, it's already been done in JoJo, it has it all. He's kind of the Beatles of this industry, isn't he?By the way, I usually have no intention of parodying JoJo in Golden Kamuy, but my friends will tell me that they identified this or that reference from time to time. I read Part 1 about 30 years ago but I was obsessed, so maybe some things were just left in my subconscious. I only did one obvious parody, during the stenka fight. Funnily enough that trope started in Fist of the North Star, though, not JoJo.
