Every JoJo main character knows that they’d be nothing without their most trusted and loyal friend, the JoBro. While there can be more than one JoBro per JoJo (Jolyne has both Ermes and Foo Fighters, for example), their individual importance as morality boosters and combat partners cannot be understated. No JoJo has ever saved the world alone.

We’re here today to honor our five favorite JoBros – those who have gone above and beyond in their service to the Joestar family line. They may not be the protagonists, but these characters have earned their places in the JoJo pantheon as true comrades and bros to the very end.

It’s natural that JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, which covers eight separate stories over hundreds of chapters and has been continuously published for over 30 years, would have more characters than it knows what to do with. And if we factor in mangaka Araki’s notorious forgetfulness, we’re left with dozens of interesting heroes and villains who didn’t get enough time to shine.

Join us as we take a look at our favorite underused characters in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, both from the anime and the manga. We just wish we could’ve seen more of them in the actual series.
