Many anime and manga series are able to capture the interest of the public, but Hirohiki Araki’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has evolved into a comprehensive, generational saga that’s close to celebrating 35 years of unpredictable adventures. One of the major ways in which Araki’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure differs from other shonen and action-centric series is that each new installment in the growing franchise can ostensibly function on its own, while also furthering the growing narrative of the incredible Joestar family.

The latest chapter in the JoJo saga, Part 8’s JoJolion, just completed a ten-year run, and fans are already excited to see what Part 9 will bring. With JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure currently on a brief hiatus, there’s never been a better time to reflect on the ending of each saga and how they all stack up against each other.

8. Part 8’S JoJolion Leaves Many Threads Unresolved & Open To Interpretation

JoJolion is the longest of Araki’s sagas, but its ending finally happened, and its announcement seemed highly premature. JoJolion’s conclusion tells an odd story about this timeline’s version of Joseph Joestar and his encounter with Lucy. JoJolion does reach an ending of sorts, but it’s easily the JoJo chapter that leaves the most unresolved. There’s a flash-forward that’s never addressed, the Rokakaka fruit is left up in the air, and Yasuho is left in a state of impending danger around two Rock Humans. It’s possible that Part 9 will pick up on some of these story threads, but as it stands, it’s a rushed and confusing conclusion.

7. Part 5’S Golden Wind Rushes To A Conclusion After A Thrilling Final Showdown

Golden Wind is another chapter in the JoJo saga that goes against the grain with its time spent in Italy and a protagonist that’s technically a descendant of DIO. The final act of Golden Wind hits some extremely ridiculous heights with rampant body-swapping and one of the franchise’s most complex and evasive villains, Diavolo. To be clear, the final fight with Diavolo is fantastic, especially the deadly purgatory that he’s eternally confined in. However, the actual ending is quite rushed and employs some odd narrative decisions. Giorno becomes head of the Passione crime family, but audiences deserve to see that accomplishment play out and not just settle for the results.

6. Part 3’S Stardust Crusaders Closes The Book On DIO’s Villainy…For A While

There’s a considerable amount of anticipation that surrounds the ending of Stardust Crusaders since it’s the longest of JoJo’s seasons. Stardust Crusaders also largely functions as the conclusion of the series’ fascination with DIO, which also generates serious stakes.

The final battle between Jotaro and DIO has become iconic, especially DIO’s creative use of a road roller, but it concludes in a fairly predictable fashion afterward. If nothing else, the many losses over the course of this journey are reflected upon, which adds some extra emotional impact to this goodbye.

5. Diamond Is Unbreakable Uses All Of Morioh To Bring Justice To Part 4

Diamond is Unbreakable is tonally quite different from Stardust Crusaders that precedes it, and there are many great elements that this season precariously juggles before it builds to its finish. Yoshikage Kira is a phenomenal villain who is actually intimidating, but the evolving rules of his Stand become a little obnoxious. That being said, the ending of Diamond is Unbreakable cleverly devises a scenario where it feels like the entirety of Morioh contributes to Kira’s defeat, right down to the ghost of Reimi. It’s a cathartic finish that celebrates the characters of Diamond is Unbreakable and feels like the right time to say goodbye to these individuals.

4. JoJo’s Original Phantom Blood Storyline Finishes With A Gutting Surprise

Phantom Blood is the first chapter that kicks off JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and while in many ways it’s the simplest of the series’ sections, it’s still incredibly powerful with what it accomplishes. Phantom Blood establishes the undying rivalry between Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando, which festers in fascinating ways. What makes the conclusion of Phantom Blood hit so hard is that Dio actually wins and succeeds in his defeat over Jonathan. It’s a turn that comes as a major surprise, especially since it seems to randomly occur in episode nine rather than a more conventional point to conclude a storyline.

3. Battle Tendency Confronts Joseph With An Impossible Foe Who Elegantly Wraps Up Part 2

The first season of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is divided among Parts 1 and 2, with Battle Tendency feeling like the big finish to the story’s first major section. Part 2’s Joseph Joestar is one of the most entertaining Joestars due to his cocky and impulsive attitude, which becomes a crucial factor in his final showdown against Kars.

Joseph usually has a solution to every problem, but Kars introduces an unprecedented level of strength that seems impossible to overcome. Battle Tendency’s climax reaches progressively wild places, but it helps establish the more exaggerated tone that JoJo goes on to embody.

2. The Conclusion Of Part 7’S Steel Ball Run Is Climactic & Epic

Part 7’s Steel Ball Run is such a startling change of pace for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and it positions itself against a cross-country race. The race structure gives Steel Ball Run an appreciated burst of adrenaline, but it also covers some decidedly unexpected territory like the assembly of a holy corpse and the return of a version of Dio, albeit as a dinosaur. The conclusion of Steel Ball Run provides a satisfying finish to the epic race even though Johnny doesn’t win, and the final duel with Valentine and the use of Tusk are incredible moments.

1. Part 6’S Stone Ocean Concludes The Original JoJo Timeline In Superlative Fashion

Stone Ocean is a groundbreaking installment in the JoJo saga that features the series’ first female protagonist in the form of Jolyne Cujoh. Stone Ocean builds an apocalyptic sense of dread as it approaches its conclusion, and the fight against Pucci and Made in Heaven is among the best in the franchise. What makes the conclusion of Stone Ocean so significant is that the heights that these Stands reach result in the world literally being reset and starting anew. It’s a convenient way for Araki to “conclude” the series and then begin a slightly simplified new canon in Part 7.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure typically features a Joestar hero and their small squad of allies and friends, such as Josuke and Okuyasu Nijimura. In the fifth story arc, Golden Wind, protagonist Giorno Giovanna was invited to join Bruno Bucciarati’s squad of Stand users in sunny Italy.

This is no ordinary squad, however. Its members are Stand users, and their Stands are remarkably diverse. Most members of this team were down on their luck until Bruno found and recruited them, and these fighters had many adventures together as they fought the mysterious boss’s many minions. But some of them act more maturely or politely than others, and some of them are downright bratty. How do they rank?

7. Narancia Ghirga Is A Total Punk

Narancia Ghirga has a long-ranged Stand called Aerosmith, and he is also handy with a knife and has some street smarts. All this makes him a helpful member of Bruno’s Stand user squad, but his personality could use some work. From the very start, Narancia was established as a total brat and delinquent, even by JoJo standards.

Narancia is terrible at math, and he doesn’t seem to like studying very much. He also has a fierce temper and is quick to lash out at people or items that annoy him, such as that time he repeatedly kicked a rental car’s door. He also has a bad attitude in battle, but at least he’s not foolish. Like most Stand users, Narancia can really think on his feet.

6. Guido Mista Is Kind But Goofs Off

Guido Mista is an anime gunslinger who has the benefit of his Sex Pistols Stand to guide his bullets, giving him a serious advantage in combat. He’s also a fairly friendly and cooperative member of Bruno’s team, and he readily accepted Giorno as a member. But he’s also rather wacky.

Mista has an irrational fear of the number four, and he will go to ridiculous lengths to avoid it. He also tends to act rather dramatically in battle and panic easily, and he flailed all around as Giorno healed his wounds after they defeated Ghiaccio of La Squadra Esecuzioni. He also acted rather odd when he found himself in Trish’s body, and squabbled with her.

5. Pannacotta Fugo Has An Explosive Temper

The Stand user named Fugo has his mature side, such as when he studied hard at college as a boy genius, but his short temper is not so flattering. Only bratty children react so violently when provoked, and Fugo made a poor first impression when he erupted at Narancia for getting a math problem wrong while studying.

Fugo’s temper is his biggest weakness, but otherwise, his behavior is acceptable, and he also has a powerful melee Stand named Purple Haze. Purple Haze is a manifestation of his rage that he doesn’t use carelessly, and Fugo is smart enough to be careful with its deadly powers.

4. Trish Una Quickly Grew Up

A newcomer to Bruno’s squad was Trish Una, the daughter of the mysterious boss Diavolo. She was rather bratty at first, acting just like the spoiled adolescent she was as she heaped a serious shopping list onto her companions. She needed to be pampered at all times.

Trish was self-absorbed and moody at first, but the harsh reality of the crime life soon caught up to her, and she began to change her behavior for the better. Trish became a brave and noble fighter who would always stand up to evil, eventually learning to use her Stand Spice Girl, and by the end of Golden Wind, she was an independent and caring young woman worthy of respect.

3. Leone Abbacchio Didn’t Really Like Giorno

Leone Abbacchio acts fairly maturely for the most part, though he is also rather grouchy and doesn’t make friends easily. Rather than being a brat, he is prickly and standoffish, and that made it nearly impossible for Giorno Giovanna to impress him. Bit by bit, though, Abbacchio recognized Giorno’s worth.

Leone doesn’t often act out, and he is not terribly impulsive or reckless, either. He tries to keep a cool head in battle and act as a leader, though he did help his friends beat up an innocent man at a café once.

2. Giorno Giovanna Has A Cool Head

The Joestar lead himself, Giorno Giovanna, made a good first impression on Bruno, and he was soon invited to join the team and help Bruno take down the boss of the Passione gang. Giorno is a fellow with a dream, and he also has a good heart and formidable combat skills. He’s a classic shonen protagonist.

Giorno is a brave and bold fighter, but he is not excessively reckless; rather, he is proactive, and he always keeps a cool head during combat. He is also polite and cooperative, even when the other party is mistreating him, and that shows some serious maturity. Giorno also has enough restraint to fight off Koichi Hirose and escape without doing Koichi any real harm. Narancia would have beat him up.

1. Bruno Bucciarati Is The Ideal Leader

JoJo fans like to joke that Bruno Bucciarati is the series’ best mom, due to his protective nature and leadership abilities, not to mention his hair. Jokes aside, Bruno is a noble and mature person who has natural talents for leadership, so it’s only fitting that he commands an entire squad of Stand users.

Bruno is tough and decisive, but he is not reckless or petty, nor does he take things too personally. He keeps a cool head and knows how to coordinate a team, and he is wise enough to let his followers decide whether to stay with him or not and face certain danger. He won’t force anyone to follow him down this hazardous path.

The JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure universe has many subtle and cunning individuals whose prowess and potential for manipulation have been demonstrated in their respective acts. Although usually villains, even the heroes have sometimes displayed the aptitude for treachery.

Whether through the usage of Stands or natural cunning, they would make for great imposters in Among Us. By identifying which characters would have the most success in avoiding the suspicion of crewmates, we can better appreciate their capacity for misdirection and understand how they might manage to kill every passenger on board the airship.

Tiziano Would Make Crewmates Incriminate Themselves

Tiziano’s “Talking Head” Stand may not have had utility in battle, but it’s arguably the most powerful weapon in an imposter’s arsenal. When latched to an adversary’s tongue, he could force them to say the opposite of what they meant.

Therefore, if a crewmate saw him murdering someone, he would avidly profess his own guilt before an audience of confused comrades. This would ensure the villain’s success so long as two people didn’t catch him in the act simultaneously.

Enya Was Intelligent Enough To Deceive The Crusaders For A Time

Enya the Hag’s Empress Stand may not be particularly conducive to her success, though her innate skills as a manipulator compensate for whatever struggles she faces. The villainess was intelligent enough to lure the Crusaders into a false sense of security, only to launch an attack on Polnareff shortly after.

Moreover, she understood how to divide groups and weave convincing alibis for her actions. The heroes never would have uncovered her intentions if not for a slight blunder she made on the hotel ledger – and of course, Hol Horse’s desperate cries for help.

D’arby The Gambler Was A Skilled Conman

D’arby the Gambler was a brilliant conman who was proficient in making his opponents second guess themselves. This was how he ran a successful bar and collected a small binder of captive souls.

While his “Osiris” may not be capable of assisting him, his stolid demeanor and keen mind would be conducive to his success as an imposter. Considering that neither Polnareff nor Joseph Joestar (a seasoned veteran) were able to catch onto his manipulations until they were already defeated, it follows that the crewmates wouldn’t either. As long as the gambler doesn’t become overconfident, his success is assured.

Risotto’s Invisibility Would Provide A Massive Boon

Risotto would be able to make full use of his Stand by turning invisible and lying in wait for an unsuspecting crewmate. Should he time his kill correctly, he could frame one party member against another, creating a divide in their ranks that would serve to his advantage.

As the experienced and tactical leader of La Squadra, he has the intelligence to execute such a maneuver with efficiency. The mobster would only need to ensure that his absence on the map doesn’t become suspicious or incriminating before taking the crewmates out.

Bucciarati Would Be Able To Create A Vent Out Of Anything

Bucciarati’s “Zipper Man” would allow him to create a vent out of anything, making for clean escapes to otherwise impossible situations. Such getaways would be so improbable that crewmates might erroneously accuse each other, as no likely culprits were nearby.

If necessary, Bruno could even use his Stand’s ability to tunnel directly beneath and across the map, similar to how he did during his battle against Secco. This would afford him impossibly high mobility, with the game’s duration only limited by his current kill cooldown.

DIO Was A Decent Manipulator With A Powerful Stand

Having spent most of his childhood deceiving George Joestar and ruining Jonathan’s life, DIO proved to be a skilled manipulator who got away with almost all of his atrocities. His ability to lie would render him a natural choice as an imposter.

The villain’s Stand allows him to freeze time for five to nine seconds (depending on whether or not he has Joestar blood. And if he should harness the World’s power, he would be able to make clean kills and getaways without trouble.

Carne Could Haunt Enemies From Beyond The Grave

Carne has displayed an abysmal lack of subtlety; he attempted to charge Bucciarati’s team head-on and was killed almost instantly. It follows that he’d be caught and exposed by crewmates with similar convenience.

However, his Stand was capable of enacting his will from beyond the grave, pursuing its targets based on their motion. Considering that typical Among Us matches have two imposters, this would allow him to kill with impunity, with his partner drawing out the game until the entire lobby has been exterminated.

Oingo Was Intelligent Enough To Fool The Crusaders

Oingo’s Stand allowed him to change his face into anyone he chose due to his Stand’s ability. Moreover, he was decent at convincing others of his identity, as proven during his prolonged encounter with Joseph Joestar and Polnareff in their car.

This suggests a simple strategy: Oingo would assume the likeness of a crewmate, kill someone blatantly, and have the body reported. Once it was, the man he imitated would be ejected – with no clue about the true killer’s identity or abilities.

Yoshikage Kira’s Deadly Queen Would Make Him Virtually Unstoppable

Yoshikage Kira was not a skilled liar, having been exposed by Josuke during their first encounter and quickly uncovered by Hayato after assuming his new life. However, his Deadly Queen Stand would compensate well for his unfortunate lack of skill in manipulation.

If he used it to set bomb triggers on crewmate corpses or the emergency meeting button, he could effectively kill anyone who attempted to incriminate him. As a result, he’d be able to win a quiet and successful game, gradually reducing his targets’ numbers until it was too late to stop him.

Tennille Was Literally An Imposter

Tennille’s literal title was the “Imposter Captain,” and with good reason. He managed to successfully imitate the Speedwagon agent who was supposed to carry the heroes across the ocean, with his passengers only becoming privy to his actions well after they’d began their voyage.

This illustrates Tennille’s formidable aptitude for masquerading and would make it extremely difficult for typical crewmates to gauge his identity. While the villain’s Stand may not be of use to his mission, his skills as a fraud and charlatan would ensure his victory on whatever vessel he confronted the unfortunate crewmates on.

The JoJo’s Weird Journey universe is outlined by means of its many participating and various villains. From hand-stealing serial killers to raunchy cowboys, there is no such thing as a scarcity of artistic antagonists for the Joestar household and their allies to beat.

One of many collection’ recurring themes embody turning former enemies into allies (reminiscent of Okuyasu, Polnareff, and even Caesar Zeppeli). Nevertheless, there have been additionally many evildoers who might realistically have been redeemed underneath the fitting circumstances. By figuring out them, we will higher respect the potential that the anime failed to comprehend and why they may have switched sides.

Hol Horse’s Grudge In opposition to Dio May Have Been Explored

Hol Horse was maybe the one villain not solely to query DIO’s motives but in addition to brazenly ponder assassinating him. Since he did not anticipate the character of The World, nevertheless, he was simply defeated and advised to get again to work.

Given Hol Horse’s prideful pure, it might have made sense for him to affix the Joestars with a view to deliver the vampire down. His motives would have been particularly coherent if he was promised the loot within the vampire’s manor after the crusaders’ victory.

Doppio Was A lot Kinder Than His Kingpin Counterpart

Doppio was Diavolo’s alter ego and a kindly younger man (so far as might be perceived). He lacked his double’s malevolence and was apologetically form to the strangers he got here throughout.

Ought to he haven’t capitulated to his darker nature and assisted Workforce Bucciarati as a substitute, the heroes would have had a lot better luck defeating Diavolo with out sustaining heavy casualties. He would have been significantly helpful since King Crimson wants Epitaph with a view to perform. The one logical draw back is that if Diavolo dies, Doppio does too (except his character is separated by means of Silver Chariot Requiem).

Wamuu Was A lot Kinder & Extra Honorable Than The Different Pillar Males

Though Wamuu was answerable for Kars’ ascension and assisted him towards the Hamon customers, his sense of honor was distinguishing. After being defeated by Joseph Joestar, he lashed out towards the minions that tried to homicide his opponent anyway.

Ought to he have survived the duel, he would have been capable of discover Kars’ barbarism (significantly by means of his combat towards Lisa Lisa). If Wamuu noticed his grasp’s true nature, he would have been extra prone to betray him because of Kars’ cowardice and malevolence.

Secco Was In the end A Sufferer Of Cioccolata’s Experiments

Secco was Cioccolata’s loyal servant and a villain arguably much more wicked than his grasp was. Maybe extra intriguingly, he was the one individual that Cioccolata spared in his countless quest to trigger as a lot ache and struggling as attainable.

If Secco had been contained by the heroes after Cioccolata’s loss of life, it might need been attainable to set him upon the lengthy and gradual path to rehabilitation since he was finally a traumatized sufferer. Nevertheless, containing him would have been extraordinarily tough because of the burrowing nature of his Stand.

La Squadra & Workforce Bucciarati Technically Had The Similar Aim

Risotto was the chief of the La Squadra group. Though his strategy was way more ruthless than Bucciarati’s, each leaders finally had the identical aim: to deliver down Diavolo and declare the mantle as Italy’s new prison mastermind.

Ought to the 2 teams have collaborated as a substitute of fought, they might have had a a lot better probability of defeating Diavolo with out losing their power on one another. The battle to regulate the prison underworld would resume after their mutual adversary’s loss of life.

Boingo Flirted With Redemption After His Plans Fell By

Boingo’s Stand allowed him to foretell the long run by means of the pages of comics. As long as its directions had been adopted, he would (technically) be capable of defeat any opponent.

After his plans to destroy the Crusaders fell by means of with each Oingo and Hol Horse, he flirted with the notion of redemption and changing into a greater individual. Nevertheless, there wasn’t ever an opportunity to discover this risk, which was of explicit consequence because of the unstoppably omniscient nature of his Stand’s talents. Ought to he have joined the combat towards DIO, casualties might not have been as steep.

Okeicho Saved Okuyasu’s Life Regardless of Dying As A Villain

At first, Keicho Nijimura was depicted as a callous and brutal man. He scoffed at his brother’s weak spot after stumbling upon his “Worse Firm” lure by chance and reviled him for failing to cease Josuke.

After dying to Akira, Keicho had a mysteriously profound change of coronary heart from past the grave. When Okuyasu was on the verge of loss of life due to a degree clean explosion by Yoshikage Kira, his older brother was the one to persuade him that he nonetheless had a task to play in Morioh and that he ought to return there.

Ken Was Surprised By Rohan Kishibe’s Kindness

Ken was one of the crucial inconsequential villains confronted in Diamond Is Unbreakable. Nevertheless, his immaturity drove him to be ruthless, and he was even keen to take the Joestar child as a hostage to make his opponents face him.

Regardless of this, Rohan Kishibe selflessly saved Ken from a shifting truck after he tried to commit suicide for failing to defeat him. From that time ahead, Ken’s outlook on life was irreversibly modified. Not like different reformed villains, nevertheless, he by no means had an opportunity to return the manga artist’s favor.

Yoshikage Kira Proved Himself As A Household Man Throughout A Stand-Off With Stray Cat

After Yoshikage Kira stole a brand new identification to keep away from the Morioh avengers’ wrath, he came across Stray Cat in a backyard. Oddly, it was a visual Stand with no consumer and nearly killed his “adopted” spouse.

Instinctively, Kira leaped into motion with a view to save his new household from hurt, and on the time, even he could not clarify why he felt so moved to assist them. Sadly, this side of Kira would by no means be defined for the remainder of the act, and he died with out ever acknowledging his one probability to be a very good individual.

Dio Had A Promising Childhood With Jonathan Earlier than Going Rogue

The preliminary battle between Dio and Jonathan climaxed when the previous introduced a knife to a combat in the course of the manor. George Joestar pressured him to behave, and for a time frame, each brothers lived in concord.

Nevertheless, Dio’s treachery would floor later when trying to poison his adoptive father with a view to usurp the Joestar fortune. Ought to he have merely accepted his brother’s forgiveness and embraced his position within the new household, everybody might have prevented generations of battle.
