Hirohiko Araki’s action manga JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has been in constant publication for over 30 years, so there’s no shortage of amazing fights on offer. In signature JoJo style, wit and intelligence are just as important as raw strength to triumph over an opponent, leading to battles where a character at a severe disadvantage can pull victory from the jaws of defeat if they manage to come up with a clever enough strategy.
Today, we’re taking a look at five of our favorite battles in the entire JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series. We love them for their unique structures, exciting twists and turns, and the iconic moments that make them so memorable. Let’s check them out!
When it comes to anime power systems, the concept of stands from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is one of the best. Stands allow for a huge variety of abilities while still feeling consistent and mostly balanced. Even a weak stand like Sex Pistols can be deadly in the hands of a skilled gunman like Mista, and a strong stand like The Hand can be limited by a simple-minded user like Okuyasu. Victory tends to go to the one who uses observation and creativity to outwit their opponent, rather than who has better stand stats.
Anime characters have always been known to dress eccentrically, but the JoJo series takes it one step (or two, or ten) further. Especially in the later parts like Vento Aureo and Stone Ocean, mangaka Araki has taken to dressing his characters in ridiculous outfits that nobody else would be able to get away with.
Some of these looks are so tacky that they shoot the moon and loop back around to being amazing, but occasionally, the experimental fashions just fall fantastically flat. Let’s take a gander at the 5 worst dressed characters in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure!
Hirohiko Araki is well known for loving Western music, so much so that most of his characters’ names (and sometimes designs) are taken from bands or songs.

Today, we’re going to take a closer look at the top 5 best-dressed characters in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. These confident men and women effortlessly kick ass while clad in the most creative and stylish outfits that Araki’s unique fashion sense has produced—with hardly a wrinkle or torn hem in sight after battle.
