The main protagonist is Jonathan Joestar. Takes place in Britain in the 19th century. There have been seven parts to the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure saga, each featuring a descendent of the Joestars/Kujos as the main protagonist along with a large cast of characters. However, Stands generated by this factor disappear as soon as the body parts defuse from one another, though both Johnny Joestar and Diego Brando kept their Stands even after losing the body parts they possessed. In Part 7, Steel Ball Run, a third amplifying factor is introduced by fusing parts of oneself with "The Saint"'s body parts. In Golden Wind there are examples of a single person possessing two Stands because of the ability of an extraordinary Stand. It is still unclear for the condition that one person can possess two Stands. It is unclear as to whether or not these artificial Stand users were capable of having Stands of their own, but Enrico does claim that only certain individuals are qualified to have Stands inserted. However, this is also a gamble, as an unqualified Stand user may render their new Stand uncontrollable, and he or she may actually kill himself or herself in the process.Įnrico Pucci of Part 6, Stone Ocean, was able to produce artificial Stand users with his Stand, Whitesnake, by stealing others' Stands and "inserting" them into regular people. A qualified existing Stand user may also have their Stand "upgraded" by piercing the arrow through the Stand-this results in the Stand becoming a "Requiem" form of its previous self. Another amplifying condition is done by simply being around powerful Stand users, such as the case of Trisha Una's Spice Girl from Part 5, Vento Aureo. ![]() However, it is often a gamble, as it would easily kill an unqualified person, and there is no apparent way to know if a person is qualified ahead of time the arrows do, however, tend to seek out qualified people on their own if there is someone to guide them. One of the known and most commonly used amplifying factors is to pierce oneself with "Stand arrows" created from a mysterious meteorite. However, not everyone able to manifest a Stand has the ability to control it despite her father Joseph Joestar and her son Jotaro Kujo being powerful Stand users, Holly Kujo, due to her lack of physical strength and resolve, is brought to the brink of death by her Stand, sapping away her lifeforce in an attempt to manifest itself. However, a Stand may never manifest itself in one's life until it is amplified by certain conditions/factors. The exact requirements for a person to obtain a Stand are unclear, although the series hints that it can be linked to bloodline, rigorous spiritual/hamon training, and/or exceptionally strong willpower. When first presented in Part 3, Joseph Joestar referred to it as a "ghostly ripple" ( 幽波紋(スタンド) sutando ?, but without furigana would be pronounced yū hamon) it could conjecturally be said to be a semi-physical manifestation of one's hamon (ripple) powers as seen in Part 1 and Part 2. Later installments have variations on this, with the Gio in Giorno sounding like a "Jo", or with Josuke where the character representing "suke" can alternatively be read as "Jo".Ī "Stand" (スタンド sutando) is a supernatural power in the manga and anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It is actually, in fact, a nickname for the main protagonists of the series due to a unique style of taking the letters "J" and "O" from the first and last names of the protagonist and then put them together, creating "JoJo". It should be noted that despite the series' title, there is no such character named "JoJo". ![]() The series spans several generations, with each part featuring a descendent of the Joestars as the main protagonist along with a large cast of characters. Each member of the bloodline has a star shaped birthmark above their left shoulder blade – Dio and his descendants have this distinguishable mark also, as a result from the 'theft' of Jonathan's body and inheriting the Joestar genes as well. ![]() The story of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure centers around the misadventures of the Joestars, a powerful family with English roots most of its members attract the most particular trials and tribulations when confronting their enemies.
