Released August 19 ” Ultra Jump ” September issue (Shueisha) in Part 8 ” JoJolion ” has reached the final round Hirohiko Araki cartoon “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” series by Mr. The series has been animated from Part 1 to Part 5. After the animation of Part 6, “Stone Ocean,” was pre-distributed on Netflix in December this year, broadcasting will start in January 2022. It becomes.

Jojo has been fascinated by many fans with manga and anime since the serialization started in 1987. The ability battle, which is also a feature of the series, is getting more complicated. That is attractive, but I think many people have their heads held because they are “confusing.” So, this time, I would like to introduce some of the stands that appear in Jojo that are difficult to grasp at first glance. This article contains 4 to 6 copies of spoilers, so please be careful if you haven’t read it yet.

Bombs that blow away time and overwhelming destructive power

Compared to the simple battles up to Part 3 that focused on physical attacks, the abilities of enemies and allies became much more complicated from Part 4. In particular was to confuse the reader, Part 4 final boss, Kira Yoshikage, would be a third of the capacity of the stand of “Baitsua-dust.” Kira is a terrifying person who has repeatedly been murdered while living in the city as a salaryman and operates the air “Killer Queen” that mainly attacks bombs. One of its abilities, “Baitsa Dust,” is not something that can be handled freely at any time, but an ability that activates when Kira is in despair. Kira hijacked her face and lived on behalf of a person named ” Kawajiri Kosaku, “but at one point, her son, Hayato Kawajiri, revealed her true identity, which triggered “Baitsa Dust.” This ability turns a person who knows their identity into a bomb and rewinds the time by about an hour. After that, if Kira’s information leaks from the person turned into a bomb, the informed person is bombed, and the time is rewound for about an hour. In this way, the time looped, and it was the strongest ability to bomb the people trying to find Kira one after another. In the first place, a stand is an ability that embodies the mental talent of the user. “Baits Dust” is a standability that perfectly reflects Kira’s overly complicated desire to “live peacefully” while killing people, and the author Araki also said, “It’s too strong. can the hero win a little? I thought, “he said. Looking back on the fourth part after reading the last series, “Baitsa Dust” is not that complicated ability, but at first glance, some people were wondering, “What happened?” “How did you get through?” Not a few.

Standability beyond the stand! Requiem name

Next is the standability “Gold Experience Requiem” (after this, Requiem) of Giorno Giovanna, the main character of Part 5. Giorno is a boy who longs for gangsters and is the son of Dio Brando, the enemy of the Jojo family. With his calm judgment and determination, he is a crucial player who leads the team to victory despite being a newcomer. Giorno initially operated a stand called “Gold Experience” that gives life to the objects he touched, but he learned “Requiem” by being pierced by the arrow of the frame. The ability of “Requiem” is to “return the power of attacking movements and intentions to” zero. “In other words, the attack directed at Giorno was “not done” before it reached Giorno. In addition, it is said that “the truth will never be reached.” Even if killed by this power, death becomes “nothing,” and even “the truth of death” cannot be reached. It’s an ability that can be confusing, but those attacked by Requiem will continue to experience the suffering and fear of death forever. Due to the ability activated in the final phase of the battle against Diavolo, the final boss of Part 5, there are very few scenes where he can play an active role. However, Diavolo’s attack, which was the strongest until then, no longer works for Giorno, and on the contrary, Diavolo, who was attacked by “Requiem,” will die forever. In addition, in the late OP of the anime version, there is a production with “a certain mechanism” using the standability of this “Requiem.” If you haven’t seen it yet, please take a look.

The scariest in the series! Mass production of transparent zombies

And finally, I would like to introduce the “Limp Bizkit” stand that appears in Part 6, “Stone Ocean.” There are other complicated stands in Part 6, and I would like to talk about “Jail House Rock” and “Dragon’s Dream,” but this time, I’m a little maniac “Limp Bizkit.” I want to take up. The main body is a prisoner named Sports Max, who is imprisoned in prison and is a yakuza with more than 50 criminal charges. However, most of the charges were not tried because he had killed the witness Gloria. Gloria’s younger sister, Hermes, was imprisoned in prison for revenge and took revenge in prison. Sports Max’s stand “Limp Biz Kit” is the ability to revive dead creatures as transparent zombies, and it turns deadly creatures or stuffed crocodiles into zombies and is killed by Hermes. Reanimates himself as a zombie. There are other stands in Jojo that can be activated after death, but many readers were confused by the complicated and rugged setting of transparent and zombies. Part 6 is more complex than “Limp Bizkit” in esotericism, and many stands ask how to defeat it.

I’m looking forward to seeing how the dramatic story will be animated, not to mention the stand battle.
