This ramen chef would fit well into the JoJo franchise, specifically during the franchise’s fourth season, Diamond Is Unbreakable, where Josuke was introduced to a chef that used his Stand in order to make lives better for the citizens of the sleepy town of Morioh. Antonio Trussardi was originally thought of by this particular JoJo to be a villain, but his culinary skills proved the very opposite.
