One of the only series where a young guy in a wheelchair is the main protagonist of an action series.
Also Joseph saves and befriends a young black pickpocket from police brutality and kicks the ass of someone who insulted the pickpocket all the way back in part 2 (written in early 80s)

Aren't Desi Muslims from South Asia? Avdol is from Egypt and his religion is never given (unlike where Joseph and Caesar are said to be Catholic)

Shut the fuck up.

I'm sure he also had a problem with the Cowboy Bebop film castings.

The JoJo creators ran into problems with Islamists and had to purge any references to Islam from both the manga and anime.

Been from Egypt pretty much means you're Muslim

Even if he was a Muslim (and I was always under the impression that he was one, but it had no impact), he's still a black guy from Egypt.

Ah you're right my bad. Part 4 took place in 1999 and began a few years before then so I assumed part 3 which took place in 1988 was the same and part 2 was before that. Didn't know part 3 took place before it was written.
