According to the first character battle Q&A, Akutami revealed that he took inspiration for his recently disclosed character Kirara Hoshi from Hirohiko Araki’s masterpiece Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Part 6: Stone Ocean manga.

Kirara’s Love Rendezvous is one of the complex techniques Akutami has flashed in Jujutsu Kaisen manga for the fans to comprehend.

Akutami says he tried to create a cursed technique for Kirara like the “calorie counting” in Jojo Part 6 and beyond, but has added his own flair to compensate for the differences.

Jojo Stone Ocean anime will premiere on Netflix from December 202, ahead of its TV airing which it alotted from January 2022.
