Talk:Mondo Owada

I'm a big JJBA fan and love Josuke! But I came here to say Mondo's hair and clothes aren't so much a reference to Josuke as that he and Josuke are both references to the same subculture. When in Japan I saw it in person; it's a real cultural phenomenon that media is fond of. There's a certain type of gang deliquent called yanki/yankee (ヤンキー) and they tend to dress a certain way- kamikaze jackets, slicked hair/pompadours, dishevled uniforms, sarashi. They also tend to speak with a lot of slang, and slurred words. It's especially true for the bancho (番長), AKA the leader.

I actually heard the term "Yankee" in that context too, but now that I've read about Mondo's title (see Bōsōzoku 暴走族), I have to wonder - are Yankee and Bōsōzoku two different names for the same subculture or not?

I do know that both terms are known to denote peoples who are fond of using complex kanji (see The Cage of Death).

Bōsōzoku are always some variation of biker gang, however. Is Josuke of JJBA a member/leader of a biker gang?

I thought his name was romanized Ohwada?
I think it was in the animation or something. --Gobi-Aoi 08:56, September 2, 2014 (UTC)

Could someone add the localized version of the back of Oowada's jacket in the sprites section. It's really stupid looking and I want to show my friend.

Out of Curiosity
Out of curiosity, how on eartn could Chuck have died at nine years old? That's entirely too short for a Maltese. Was it illness? An accident? Did he eat some chocolate? Also, it said he enjoys karaoke. Like, singing karaoke or listening to karaoke? Pandora Banister (talk) 23:59, May 23, 2016 (UTC)

Oowada dog's caused of death is never revealed in the series. H O P E (talk) 00:40, May 24, 2016 (UTC)

They probably should. 9 is too short for a small dog. Pandora Banister (talk) 10:56, May 26, 2016 (UTC)

OMG!!!
I was thinking...In the manga, when he shout to Chihiro apologizing for telling "her" weak and then promised to protect "her", he blushed a lil'.

If Mondo yells to girls when he's nervous arround them, especially when he likes her...

Does that mean that he yelled to Chihiro on the Manga because he had a "crush" for "her"? (Before knowing she was a he)
