The Curious Case of Hirohiko Araki's Age
Let's talk about something important: aging. Or rather, the distinct lack of it in one particular mangaka.
We're all thinking it. We're all secretly whispering about it. It's about the creator of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Hirohiko Araki.
The Obvious Observation
Look at pictures of Araki from decades ago. Now look at him now.
Notice anything... missing? Like, maybe wrinkles? Gray hairs? Time itself having any discernible effect whatsoever?
Officially, he was born in 1960. That makes him… well, let’s just say he should probably qualify for senior discounts. But does he *look* like it?
My (Unpopular) Opinion
Okay, here's where I might lose some of you. But I’m going to say it anyway: I don't believe it.
I think the number listed is off. Way off. And honestly, I think it’s on purpose.
Maybe Araki struck a deal with a Stand user. Maybe he discovered the secrets of the Stone Mask. Or perhaps he simply found a really, *really* good moisturizer.
Evidence (Sort Of)
Think about it: JoJo's is all about bizarre happenings and extraordinary abilities.
Is it *really* that much of a stretch to believe its creator possesses some… unusual qualities himself? I think not.
Plus, consider his energy! The man is constantly creating new and inventive storylines. Does that sound like someone nearing retirement age?
Theories Abound
The internet is, naturally, full of theories. Vampire blood? Hamon training? A Stand that reverses aging?
The possibilities are as endless and as bizarre as JoJo's itself.
Personally, I think he might be drawing power from the sheer fabulousness of his characters.
Is He Ageless?
The truth is, we don't know. Maybe Hirohiko Araki simply has amazing genes and a healthy lifestyle.
Maybe he uses sunscreen religiously. (Good for him! We all should.)
But honestly, wouldn't it be more fun to believe in something a little more… *bizarre*?
The Real Question
Instead of focusing on his "true" age, maybe we should focus on his incredible talent.
Araki has given us so many amazing stories and characters. Isn’t that enough?
So, hats off to Hirohiko Araki! May he continue to defy time and expectations for many years to come.
In Conclusion (Sort Of)
Perhaps the real answer is that Hirohiko Araki is simply living his life as a JoJo character. And who are we to question that?
So next time you see a picture of Araki and wonder about his age, just smile.
And remember: it's all part of the adventure. A *bizarre* adventure, to be sure.
And maybe, just maybe, he’ll let us in on his secret one day… or not!
