Soul Fighter Viego has brought multiple JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure references to League of Legends

The famous anime JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has made it to League of Legends again thanks to new references in Viego’s new Soul Fighter skin

Patch 13.14 has already gone live today, and patch 13.15 is starting to enter the PBE servers for testing. With patch 13.15 coming, the second batch of the Soul Fighter skinline will also be introduced. Viego will also receive a skin, and interestingly enough, the upcoming Soul Fighter Viego skin will have some funny easter egg and references to the well-known anime series, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.

First and foremost, his Soul Fighter splash arts. In the splash art, the Ruined King is making an obvious pose that referencing the famous Jojo pose.

A collection of unusual and distinctive positions known as “Jojo poses” have its roots in the manga series Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. These stances stand out for their bizarre and obscene motions that are supposed to exude a feeling of strength and flair.

Second is his dance emote. The reference was discovered earlier this week with League fans. In it, Viego reenacts the renowned “Vocal Percussion” Gang Torture Dance from the Golden Wind arc of the show, performing the complete performance with Isolde.

The song, which is really called Canzoni Preferite, is performed by Narancia, Mista, and Fugo in JoJo’s part 5 while torturing Zucchero.

It’s interesting to note that the “Vocal Percussion” dance was influenced by a variety of classical works, including Michael Jackson’s Dangerous dance and Prince’s P Control.

This Viego dance follows a lengthy series of JoJo’s x League crossovers, which also includes Vi’s ‘Ora Ora Ora’ anthem and voice line from Debonair Zed.

Once League Patch 13.15 is released next month, Viego players will be able to purchase the new Soul Fighter skin, along with its Bizarre Adventure reference. On Aug. 2, patch 13.15 is expected to be released. When it occurs, the new cosmetic for the Ruined King will cost 1820RP.
