Does the \u2018Sonic the Hedgehog\u2019 trailer include a JoJo\u2019s Bizarre Adventure reference? Paramount PicturesEarly fan perception for the new Sonic the Hedgehog movie trailer has been less than enthusiastic, but some anime fans are reeling from what looks to be an Easter Egg for JoJo\u2019s Bizarre Adventure. Since the Sonic movie was announced, longtime fans were cautious in their approach to Hollywood\u2019s spin on the franchise. Then they got their full look at the World\u2019s Fastest Hedgehog, much to the internet\u2019s disappointment. But at least some eagle-eyed anime fans have found something to like about the full reveal for the upcoming movie adaptation, that included a famous scene from JoJo\u2019s. Where\u2019s the Jojo reference in Sonic the Hedgehog? At the tail end of the trailer, Sonic is seen surrounded by dozens of Dr. Robotnik\u2019s drones, and they all have their sights set on the Speed Demon. When the Moustache Moron gives the order to unleash all the missiles, the trailer gives us a look into how Sonic is taking in the moment. While most of the world was seeing one of the only highlights of the trailer, anime fans were seeing a call back to a similarly perilous moment in a hero\u2019s journey.

After using his Stand called \u201cthe World\u201d to freeze time, Dio launches a horde of knifes at Jotaro to see the full capabilities of Jo\u2019s Stand, Star Platinum. In doing so, Jo can be seen momentarily surrounded by knives from all sides, similar to Sonic in the trailer. The similarities struck a chord with a lot of anime fans that were caught off guard by the seemingly intentional call back to the anime.

But for the time being, at least some JoJo fans have something to like about the new trailer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
