Thanks, I knew that Maria attack came from Youg Maria since I've played Rondo before SOTN for PSP

Nice, so someone needs to edit CV Wiki, since this one I got from there. So maybe this trend started in truly in SOTN and this mirage thing doesnt have anything to do with Jojo? Maybe its a mixed reference, like referencing 2 things in one? (like Simon from Contra for Genesis, where they tried to pay homage to Simon from Castlevania and Simon, a japanese singer.)
