## JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Jojo's Bizzare adventure also known as  **JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken** Written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki.
The story of the Joestar family, who possess intense psychic strength and powers, and the adventures each member encounters throughout their lives.
The story chronicles the struggle of the cursed Joestar bloodline against the forces of Evil. Starting in the late 1800's, Part I follows Jonathan Joestar as he grows and eventually combats his adoptive brother Dio Brando. Following after in 1938 Part II follows the misadventures of Joseph Joestar, Grandson of Jonathan, as he matures his Hamon in order to combat ancient super-beings known as the Pillar Men. These Pillar men are the beings who created the ancient stone mask Part I revolved around. Part III is about Jotaro Kujo, Grandson of Joseph, as the two of them along with other members travel to Egypt in order to stop Dio Brando once and for all. This part introduces the titular power system known as stands. Part IV is set in Morioh, Japan 1999 and follows Josuke Higashikata, illegitimate son of Joseph Joestar, as He, Jotaro, and others try and unmask a mysterious serial killer that has been in Morioh for years. Part V is set in 2001 and follows Giorno Giovanna, son of Dio, and his ambition to rise within the Neapolitan mafio by subverting its most powerful gang: Passione. Part VI is set in a Florida prison in the year 2011. It follows Jolyne Kujo as she tries to save her fathers life from a mysterious force inside the prison. From here on out each new part is set in a alternate time line. Part VII is set in 1890 and follows Johnny Joestar, a paraplegic ex-jockey and Gyro Zepelli, a master in a mystic art named spin, as they compete in a horseback race across the country. Part VIII follows a different Josuke Higashikata who , after a earth quake, has no memories of who he is and how he got there. The part follows his journey as he tries to understand his identity and figure out the truth behind the mysterious Rokakaka fruit also known as the Locacaca fruit.

## Power

**Hamon/ Ripple** Ripple, better known as Hamon, is an energy used in ancient styles of martial arts. By breathing in a certain way, it allows the user to produce energy that ripples through their body and is the same as the energy of the sun. This allows the users to combat zombies, vampires, and most importantly the Pillar Men. It is the main source of power for the main characters of Part I & II. It also makes a small appearance in Part III with Joseph Joestar.

**Vampires/ The Pillar Men** Vampires and the Pillar Men act very similar in Jojo's in the way that they both have strong regeneration abilities, do not age, can suck blood and life force from others, and have a weakness to the sun. Where they differ is that Vampires can infect others and turn them into "zombies" (these zombies are unlike normal zombies portrayed in media and are pretty much just weaker vampires) and can use a "reverse Hamon" technique that freezes the enemies blood, making them unable to use Hamon. The Pillar Men are able to harness ancient powers such as fire, wind, and light to attack. They are physically at the peak of performance and have the ability to overcome the sun to become "the ultimate life form". As an ultimate lifeform a Pillar Man has increase intelligence, physicals, are immortal, and can change parts of their body into animal parts or into whole new animals.

**Stands** After part 3 of Jojo's the main power system used is stands. Stands are physical manifestations of the users willpower. This allows each stand to be different and specialize in different fighting styles. The strength of these powers can range from creating a gun all the way to being able to passively change fate. Stands can only be seen by other stand users, and while they can interact with physical objects they can only take damage from other stands. Any damage a stand takes is reflected onto the user. If a stand has multiple bodies such as shown with harvest any damage taken may be decreased significantly. Throughout the series there are several ways to obtain stands, such as being born with one, having an ancestor have a stand, being shot by a "stand arrow", coming in contact with a piece of Jesus's corpse, or being affected by the "wall eyes".

**Spin** Starting from part 7 onwards spin is a very important power system characters can use. It is the alternate universe's version of Hamon. By harnessing rotational energy, spin users are able to do a large variety of tricks. This ranges from inducing "Hemispacial neglect" to being able to harvest infinite rotational energy. Spin uses the golden ratio in order to harness "perfected" energy to allow it to be infinitely sustainable. This forces the user to ride a horse and use its galloping as a catalyst. Most spin users use metal balls and cause them to harness the energy of spin to attack; however certain characters are able to use their nails or even bubbles to harness this power. Spin can also be used to transcend logic itself.
