Plenty of shonen anime series draw inspiration from the best works in previous generations, such as the classic shonen “Big Three” following the example of Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball. More recently, smash-hit shonen series like Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer drew inspiration from the Big Three in turn. It’s easy to see how Demon Slayer borrowed the best ideas from both Naruto and Bleach, such as demon slayers being the next generation of Soul Reapers and Tanjiro’s trio taking cues from Team 7 in Naruto.However, there’s a third series that also helped spark author Koyoharu Gotouge’s imagination when writing Demon Slayer. Hirohiko Araki’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure made a contribution, too, but in subtler ways. There may not be Stands in Demon Slayer, but there are pseudo-vampires to pay homage to the first three arcs in JoJo’s. Gotouge took a great idea and made it even better.Even if Demon Slayer did not directly put vampires into its story, anime fans may still be curious about how JoJo’s vampires set the template for these supernatural creatures in shonen anime. The first story arc, Phantom Blood, depicted the villainous Dio Brando becoming a vampire by putting on a stone mask, an artifact from Mesoamerica. Dio became a classic European-style vampire from there, an arrogant, powerful creature of the night who ruled in a castle and wanted to conquer the land. However, the story’s most thematic vampires didn’t arrive until the Battle Tendency arc, when the vampire condition became a major plot device rather than a way to simply power up a villain.RELATED: Is Yoriichi Tsugikuni the Strongest Character in Demon Slayer?
