JoJo’s Bizarre Adventureis extremely bizarre sometimes, with Hirohiko Araki constantly finding ways to top himself with each successive part. At the heart of this extraordinary universe lies the concept of Stands, supernatural manifestations of a person’s fighting spirit. These Stands grant their users incredible abilities, often reflecting their personalities and desires.
9 Highest-Grossing Anime Of All Time
There are several legendary and popular anime franchises, but here are some of the highest-grossing ones.
With the author’s incredible creativity, there’s almost a new stand introduced every one or two chapters, and some of them can be very powerful or sometimes even nigh omnipotent. Stands based on the fundamental forces of nature like Time, Energy, Dimensional hopping, and explosions often bring the series to a new level, and there’s some serious competition between fans about which Stand they consider to be the strongest.
10Heaven’s Door
Our favorite manga artist, Rohan Kishibe’s stand, comes last on this list, and though we’re introduced to a poor version early on, by the end of Diamond is Unbreakable, his stand evolves to a semi-humanoid form with amazing abilities.Heaven’s Door has the potential to beat every standon this list with its power to alter the intentions or memories of anyone who is exposed to him or his art.
Theoretically, he could turn everyone who is exposed to his Stand ability into his minion and make them do whatever he wants them to do. He could even take down Pucci if he came close to him, but that’s where he falls short. Heaven’s Door only activates when its opponent is up close and personal, and if Rohan got the opportunity to polish his ability further, he would’ve definitely ranked higher.
9Killer Queen
Arguably, the best villain in the franchise, Kira Yoshikage, wanted to live a quiet life while indulging himself in an occasional murder or two. Initially,Killer Queen’s ability was already strong on its own, seeing that he could turn anything he touched into a bomb. He also had a secondary stand ability that activated remotely, which almost took down Jotaro Kujo.
However, Killer Queen, after being stabbed by the arrow once again and acquiring the Bites the Dust ability, became a completely different beast. Although this ability is quite technical, the gist of it is that it blows up anyone who finds out about Kira’s identity through Hayato and also turns back time by an hour if a situation becomes really dire, making it difficult to successfully take down.
8The World/Star Platinum
The World and Star Platinumare similar enough to be placed in the same spot, and both are extremely strong. They’re both hard-hitting, close-range stands that can crush metal with their fists. They’ve also shown to be extremely durable and outclass most other stands in terms of close combat.
The fact that they can stop time makes them completely broken. With the time-stop ability, they can do practically anything they want for a couple of seconds, making them unstoppable in most aspects. The only reason Dio lost with The World was that Jotaro developed the ability after fighting with him, effectively evolving his stand to Dio’s level and crushing him.
7Weather Report
The character with the most tragic backstoryyou can think of developed an unstoppable stand that could manipulate the weather. Pucci mentions that Weather can theoretically get rid of the planet’s ozone layer if he wants, killing everyone and everything on Earth.
8 Best Vampire Anime, Ranked
There are not many anime shows around vampires, but the ones that are out there offer some of the best and the most compelling stories.
It doesn’t help his case that he can barely control his second ability, Heavy Weather, which turns people into snails. Practically anyone with eyes will start to perceive themselves as snails, and when combined with his primary power, it makes for one overpowered stand.
6King Crimson
King Crimson is Diavolo’s stand that possesses truly frightening power. He has two main abilities: one called Epitaph, which can predict the future, and the second ability can erase time. Diavolo can practically prevent anything from happening to him by erasing the moment it occurs.
It took multiple stand users, plot convenience, and Giorno’s stand to evolve into a God-like state for Diavolo’s downfall. Erasing time made him practically unstoppable if used in conjunction with Epitaph, and the physical strength of his stand even surpassed the likes of Jotaro and Dio.
5Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (D4C)
Funny Valentine’s Stand, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (D4C) may sound like a bargain, but make no mistake, it’s a force to be reckoned with. This Stand has a knack for hopping between parallel dimensions, and it’s not just for sightseeing but to summon alternate versions of Funny Valentine himself with all his memories from the current Universe.
This means he can heal any damage done to himself by simply replacing himself with another version of himself that is basically himself. He then gained a stronger power towards the end of Steel Ball Run, that being Misfortune Redirection, making him invincible while hiding in his Pocket Dimension.
4Tusk Act IV
Tusk Act IV is Johnny Joestar’s Stand’s final evolution that had the power to defeat D4C Love Train and is one of the strongest stands to exist. Initially, Tusk was just a stand that could shoot bullets out of Johnny’s hands with the occasional spin hole, which basically meant that the bullet could track people down.
10 Best Anime Poses, Ranked
From Dragon Ball’s Fusion Dance to One Piece’s Gear Second, here are some of the greatest character poses in anime history.
With Tusk Act IV, he evolved the spin to the point of infinite energy, allowing him to destroy anything he touches. It’s a tough concept to wrap your head around, but it basically means that time-stopping D4C Love Train and almost every other stand in the JoJoverse don’t stand a chance against the insane capabilities of Tusk Act IV and the infinite rotational energy it can shoot out.
3Made In Heaven
It took years for Dio’s plan to finally materialize in the form ofPucci’s Made In Heaven. Made In Heaven’s goal was to achieve heaven, the strongest stand to exist and effectively become God. With this Stand, Pucci could accelerate time infinitely, making every living thing appear slow while everything else and he was at normal speed.
This meant that he had the power to move super fast and also nullify Jotaro’s time-stop. He made time accelerate to such a degree that the Universe reset itself, rebooting the entire franchise. In the end, the only thing that took down Pucci was the ingeniousness of Emporio, Weather Report’s stand, and Made In Heaven itself that gave Emporio Weather Report’s Stand in the first place.
2Wonder Of U
Araki himself considers Wonder Of U the strongest stand he has created so far. Wonder Of U has an extremely creepy appearance that can make you really uneasy, but that might also just be Toru’s ability to inflict calamity on anyone who looks at his stand.
For whatever reason, when you’re under this stand’s spell, bad luck will follow you, and you’ll continually be faced with dangerous situations that wouldn’t normally happen or damage you as long as you keep pursuing Toru. In essence, if you wish any ill will or did something to Toru, you’ll be fighting against the fundamental force of calamity, which is practically unbeatable.
1Gold Experience Requiem
Gold Experience, on its own, possesses the powerto give life to any inanimate object, already sounding holy to begin with. When Gold Experience evolved after Giorno stabbed himself with the stand arrow, the ability he acquired defied all laws of nature and physics.
Giorno pretty much became God since he could ‘Return anything to Zero.’ This means that whatever someone does to him will never harm him or never happen to him if he decides it. This ability ompletely nullified Diavolo in the final battle against Giorno and trapped him in an endless death loop that is probably still going on. In essence, Gold Experience Requiem tops this list because it can counter pretty much every stand in existence except maybe Wonder Of U.
