In episode 24 _Jojo Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind_ , there is a scene where a
new stand named _Notorius B.I.G_ appears, but on the wall it's called
"Notorius Chase." Why is there this difference? Is it just some mistake in the
voice-acting or key animation ? The wiki page also states that the stand Name
is officially [Notorious B.I.G](https://jojo.fandom.com/wiki/Notorious_B.I.G),
not "Notorius Chase."

Why did the stand "Notorious B.I.G" change to "Notorius Chase" in the anime?


I haven't gotten to that part of JJBA yet, so this is an educated guess.

Like a number of other characters in the franchise, such as ACDC, Pet Shop,
and Jean Pierre Polnareff, Notorious B.I.G. is named after [a real-life
musician](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Notorious_B.I.G.). In a number of
cases, these character names are
[modified](https://jojo.fandom.com/wiki/JoJo_Wiki:Name_Variants) in
localizations presumably to avoid potential trademark issues. For instance,
[Steely Dan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steely_Dan) becomes _Dan of Steel_
, [Terence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_Trent_D%27Arby) D'Arby is
_D'Arby the Younger_ , Kenny G is _Billie Jean_ , etc.

I can only assume that something similar happened here. I don't have access to
the episode right now, but [this Reddit
user](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/b6zwto/jojo_no_kimyou_na_bouken_ougon_no_kaze_episode_24/ejoa3q0/)
suggests the same thing and reports that some of the animation was changed.

Localization. Due to making sure Japan doesn't get copyrighted, they change
the names on the subtitles to say something different.
