^ Not based off but still pretty similiar, hence why people want those two franchises to go up against each other.

While they still have their differences, they still have a lot of convenient similarities:

Part 3's Stardust Crusaders and Part 4's Heroes of Morioh (I'm referring to their respective heroes) are made up (or partly made up) of high schoolers. Persona protagonists are usually high schoolers.

Both franchises have used or are using the Tarot Cards system; Part 3 had a bunch of enemies and allies based off Tarot Card symbols; Persona constantly uses Tarot Cards to symbolize friends, allies and, namely, Social Links.

Part 4 and Persona 4's casts are both teenaged heroes trying to uncover a serial killer case while also fighting off the paranormal (enemy Stands for Part 4 and Shadows for Persona 4).

Part 5 and Persona 5's casts are literally heroes working outside the law (Part 5's Passione Gangsters and Persona 5's Phantom Thieves) to accomplish their goals, whether for the sake of others or for themselves.

So to say that JoJo and Persona have no similiarities is equal to an inaccurate and only brief view of how the two franchises use symbolism and how their stories are shaped.

Jotaro and Yu share more connections that Takumi, and no Takumi IS NOT an overdue combatant; overdue combatants would have to be characters like Jin from Tekken, Thanos from Marvel, a Persona character, a JoJo character... oh wait...

THAT'S WHY PEOPLE WANT JOTARO VS YU.

And before you say Goku Vs Jotaro is a better idea, it really is not; their connections are... thin, to say the least, plus it's too much of a stomp for a character that's already showed up twice in the entire show.

To summarize, JoJo and Persona may be vastly different, but they also have enough similiarities for people to suggest a fight between characters from the two franchises.
