JoJo Glossary

The following is the official description for key words that appear in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R. Note that the text provided might have potentially changed/altered from the original as a result of avoiding potential copyright issues with the localization.

## Part 1

### Stone Mask

A mask used in sacrificial Aztec ceremonies. When touched by blood, it shoots out a mass of bone spicules that stimulate the victim's brain, causing a vampiric transformation.

### Hamon

A technique whereby the energy of life is accumulated in the practitioner's blood by breathing in a special way. In the East, it is known as Sendo. This "life energy" is much like rays of sunlight, and harms vampires and Pillar Men.

## Part 2

### Pillar Men

The mightiest of all living creatures, susceptible only to sunlight and Hamon. They are: Kars, Esidisi, Wamuu, and Santviento (whose real name is not known). They feed on vampires, using the energy to stay alive for tens of thousands of years.

## Part 3

### Stand

A form of guardian spirit or avatar that stands by its user, using supernatural powers to defend them and attack their enemies.

## Part 4

### Morioh Town

The home of Josuke Higashikata 4 and company, with many famous landmarks. Josuke and his friends pursue serial killer Yoshikage Kira, who is at large in the town, eventually seeing him off with their hearts of gold. A town of the same name appears in Part 8.

### Bow and Arrow

Those hit by these Arrows may develop Stand abilities, or may be killed if they do not possess the right qualities. The arrowheads are fashioned from fragments of a meteorite that hit the Earth millions of years ago.

## Parte 5

### Passione

An Italian mafia gang of which Diavolo is the boss. Most of Naples, including hotels, the port, undertakers, construction and transport industries, and restaurants, are all under its control.

### Metallic

Risotto Nero's Stand. It hides within Risotto's body, controlling ferrous material with a power that works like magnetism. Its mode of attack is creating blades such as razors and scissors from iron found in the body and surroundings. It can also cover Risotto's body in fine iron particles that camoflauge him, rendering him effectively invinsible.

### Risotto Nero

User of the Stand Metallic. He leads a team of assassins in opposition to Passione. In a fight with Vinegar Doppio, he realizes the true nature of Doppio's relationship with the boss and nearly defeats him before falling prey to Diavolo's trap.

## Part 6

### Green Dolphin Street State Prison

Where Jolyne is incarcerated. Its full title is the Green Dolphin Street Maximum Security Prison Facility. Pucchi uses Jolyne as bait to draw Jotaro to the place, then steals his memory and Stand as a disc.

## Part 7

### Steel Ball Run

The first ever pan-American horse race, which started on a beach in San Diego at 10 AM, September 25th, 1890, and ran all the way to New York, covering a total distance of about 6,000 km.

### Steel Ball

An implement developed by the Zeppeli family for their "Spin" technique, primarily as a means of dispatching criminals on death sentences. However, it is also used in battle for both attack and defense.

## Part 8

### Wall Eyes

Place where Josuke Higashikata 8 is buried. They appear from underground one night after an earthquake, and form a wall some 10 km log. Some school kid in Morioh Town came up with the name.
