then he gets saved by the Shady guy Dario Brando who was actually trying to rob him George being as gullible as a toddler with candy is like you're a hero I owe you my life fast forward a bit Dario croak and George decides to adopt Dario's son Dio big mistake my guy Dio shows up at the joar Mansion like yo I'm here to ruin everybody's life and oh does he deliver he bullies Jonathan joar AKA JoJo burns his dog alive yes he's that evil and then he has the audacity to steal JoJo's girlfriend's first kiss like bro who does that but don't worry JoJo's not having it he fights back in the most Jonathan joar way possible being the good noble guy who just wants to live his life meanwhile Dio is playing 4D chess trying to get rid of Jonathan and steal the family fortune Deal's like I'll just poison George but make it slowly so we can and drag out this drama for several episodes eventually Dio decides to kick it up a notch and take over the Joe Star Family Fortune how does he do this you ask with a little thing called Poison you need to leave Dio starts poisoning George and while George is slowly dying Dio's chilling in the background like you know what this guy really should have just left me in the streets Jonathan of course starts noticing that something's off but Doo's got a backup plan a creepy ancient artifact known as the stone mask and just like like any sane person who finds an ancient artifact with a ton of weird carvings and mysterious powers in someone's house Deal's like what's the Worst That Could Happen well what happens is that di slaps that mask on turns into a vampire and starts wreaking havoc like a whole new level of extra now he's Immortal he's got glowing red eyes and he can regenerate limbs like he's some kind of comic book super villain so now that Doo's a vampire he decides to really spice things up he kills George steals the Joe star Manion and makes it his vampire layer meanwhile JoJo's left to deal with the Fallout and fight back enter will a zeppy a hon master and Speedwagon who's basically there to be a punching bag and cheerleader for Jonathan but you know what he's got that snarky charm so he's fine zeppy teaches Jonathan the ancient art of Haman which is basically sunlight breathing that lets you turn your punches in an energy blast of sunshine think of it like super yoga breathing so now Jonathan's this new weapon in his Arsenal and he's ready to take on Dio The Duo sets off like a weird buddy cop movie to track down Dio and his army of creepy Undead creatures along the way they face off against Dio's Undead minions including the infamous Jack the Ripper yeah I know what you're thinking this show is really going for it Jack the Ripper is literally just hanging out as one of Di's Lackey and it's all kinds of creepy but Jonathan's like I've got Haman you've got bad tasting friends so he does does what any self-respecting joar would do punches his way through every single one of Di's minions and moves on zeppy dies in the most dramatic way possible passing his powers to Jojo like he's handing over the family Wi-Fi password finally Jojo and Dio have their big Showdown on top of the castle it's epic it's fiery and JoJo wins kind of Dio's body is destroyed but his head survives because he just can't take a hint JoJo thinks he's finally getting a break he marries his Buu ARA and they go on a honeymoon crew but guess who's back surprise [ __ ] Dio with his head in a jar JoJo sacrifices himself to save ARA who escapes with a baby in a coffin don't ask Dio's head meanwhile is left floating in a coffin in the ocean still alive and ready to cause more chaos you just know this guy is like I'll be back and just like that the joar family drama continues so fast forward to 1939 and we meet Joseph joar Jonathan 's grandson if Jonathan was a polite kid who always raised his hand in class Joseph is the kid throwing paper airplanes at the teacher he's loud cocky and way too clever for his own good Joseph's Journey starts when he learns about the pillar men ancient muscle Gods who invented the stone mask and have been sleeping for thousands of years these guys are like the vampire OG's they're Santana who's basically a flexing mannequin and his Bros ACDC WAMU and cars they want the red stone of Asia which will make them Invincible Joseph teams up with Caesar zeppo the OG Zeppy's grandson and together they start training under Lisa Lisa a Haman master and Joseph's long lost mother surprised you've been training with your mom the whole time Joseph the trio sets off to take down the pillar man and boy are things about to go down the first pillar man they go after is Santana and let me tell you this dude is weird he's basically a rock that can move around and is so WR that it takes the combined might of Joseph Caesar and Lisa Lisa to defeat him but the real fun starts when they go up against ACDC ACDC isn't just strong he's got fire powers and he's the ultimate drama queen every time he gets injured he's like I'll never forgive you and then he's back with a vengeance but Joseph's not here for the drama he's like you know what let me make this quick and with a mix of clever trickery and some very lucky punches Joseph takes ACDC down but then things get serious WAMU who has a code of honor because why not poisons Joseph and gives him a month to live yeah WAMU really likes the drama Joseph and Caesar decide to take the pillar men in an epic showdown of chariot races Mind Games and More Drama than a reality TV show this isn't your typical fight it's a battle of strategy and Joseph pulls out all the stops but then Caesar dies that's right Caesar Joseph's new best friend gets killed in battle he sacrifices himself to save Joseph it's heartbreaking and just to make things worse Joseph's like oh you know I'll avenge Caesar and take down the pillar I've got this you can almost hear him saying hold my juice box I'm going to save the day but cars oh cars is built different he uses the red stone to become the ultimate life form now he's basically unkillable great Joseph's cooked but he's got brains for days in the final showdown he tricks cars into getting blasted into space by a volcanic eruption cars gets frozen in space forever and Joseph's like yeah I totally play that sure buddy it's the kind of ending only JoJo could pull off and we all love it the season ends with Joseph chilling in the 1980s ready for more Adventures meanwhile Doo's coffin in the last ending scene gets fish out of the ocean because apparently this man just refuses

Adventure diamond is unbreakable was created by Hero hio oraki the manga was first published by shua weekly shown and Jump magazine from May 4th 1992 to December 4th 1995 the anime adaptation was produced by David production and first aired in Japan on April 2nd 2016 16 until December 24th 2016 totaling 39 episodes so let's get into the story It's 1999 and everything looks as calm as a cat taking a nap in the Sun but as we all know nothing in JoJo World stays peaceful for long one day a guy named joto Kujo shows up joto is tall serious and likes wearing a fancy hat that blends right into his hair he's basically a walking muscle who can stop time with a giant ghost buddy called star Platinum you know normal stuff jodo rolls into morio like he owns the place because he's on a mission he's hunting for a teenager named joske higashikata why joske because joske happens to be the secret love child of Joto's Grandpa which makes joto joske's nephew even though jotoro is older yes it's confusing but just nod your head and roll with it so jotoro tells joske about the jar family history vampires ancient artifacts punching ghosts the usual he warns jke that the town has become a magnet for stand users turns out there's an evil bow and arrow out there that can shoot people and give them stands jodo quickly discovers that joske has the power to wield a stand called Crazy Diamond joske stand has the unique ability to restore objects and organisms to their previous state whether it's healing wounds repairing broken structures or even reverting an enemy's body part in bizarre fashion when jodo and joske learn of a violent criminal Angelo kadiri terrorizing the town they face Aqua necklace Angelo's fluid based stand capable of slipping through pipes bodies of water and even people's throats after Angelo attacks joske's grandfather resulting in tragedy Joe gave vows Vengeance combining crazy Diamond's ability to reshape matter and jodo star Platinum they Corner Angelo fusing him into a nearby rock formation this bizarre Angelo rock becomes a new Landmark as morio is absolutely crawling with stand users some good some bad but all weird as hell not long afterward joske and his friends encounter nijimura brothers kacho and okuyasu they found the bow and arrow and started turning random people into stand users their dad got cursed by the joar family's greatest vampire Nemesis named Dio a long time ago so now their dad is basically a weird green blob the brothers think if they find the right stand maybe they can save their dad or at least put him out of his misery Koo Stan Bad Company is a mini Army of toy soldiers tanks and choppers that shoot real bullets pretty awesome meanwhile okuyasu stand the hand which can erase space itself think of it like a big eraser for anything in front of it that it swipes one second you're standing there the next second you're up in his face it's weird and terrifying but it's also perfect for smacking around your enemies joske ends up fighting with these brothers and during the fight Koo Gets Zapped by the ghost of Angelo apparently even a stoneface creeper can still cause trouble Koo tragically kicks the bucket and oku Yas decides to join joske as his best buddy and guess what they're hilarious together okuyasu is kind of a knucklehead but he's a good person meanwhile kichi a softspoken classmate of joske ends up getting shot by the bow and arrow because apparently everyone in their grandma gets shot by that thing somehow kichi doesn't die instead he gains a stand called eeko at First echo's Act One can just attach silly sound effects to things but over time it grows stronger leveling up and kichi transforms from a shy kid to a tiny hero with big guts he's basically that friend who's quiet until you push him over the edge and he just crashes out on everybody and flips the script as morio continues to turn up more stand users the gang runs into tamami Kobayashi who stand the lock punishes people by making them feel guilty he then uses this power to try and blackmail kichi for accidentally running over a cat but that doesn't really work out some are creepier like Toshi Kazu hazamada Whose stand surface can make living puppets that mimic real people chos okuyasu and koichi then go around town beating these guys in silly but often life-threatening fights they also get roped into comedic High Jinks like messing around at the local cafe or bickering about who pays the tab it's basically Slice of Life except every slice is jam-packed with stand battles one of the strangest encounters eventually comes yukako yamagishi she's a super intense girl who has the hots for koichi by Hots I mean she's borderline scary her stand and love Deluxe lets her hair stretch and wrap around people strangling them as she's feeling feisty she kidnaps kichi at one point planning to train him whatever that means into the perfect boyfriend koigi is just like I'm not built for this and tries to get away without dying thankfully Eko evolves into act two letting kigi literally write words that cause effects like setting things on fire yukako realizes kichi might not be the weak little lamb that she thought and she goes from psycho stalker to sort of supportive girlfriend it's a big improvement though trust me morio's Hidden Mysteries deepen when Joseph joar now an elderly man arrives to meet joske he's super old now he's got a cane poor eyesight and sometimes he forgets stuff but hey he's Joseph joar so he's still a legend so we got to love him he tries to bond with joske his secret son but it's awkward because you know he was never around plus Joseph shows up carrying an invisible baby named shizuka why is the baby invisible because she's got a stand that camouflages her and anything nearby it's cute but it's also terrifying if you think about the diaper skipping ahead a successful but eccentric manga artist named Rohan kibi moves to morio in search of inspiration his stand Heaven's Door can open people like books reading their memories and writing commands that they must follow initially rohan's arrogance and invasive use of Heaven's Door pits him against kichi but after a standoff that test koichi's result he becomes a reluctant Ally intrigued by kigi sincerity Rowan soon discovers a haunted alley and meets the ghost of Remy sugimoto a local girl who was murdered in the town over a decade ago she warns him and kichi about a serial killer who's still at large in skullking around morio someone who has quietly committed gruesome murders for years without ever being discovered the psycho in question is yoshiaki Kira a neat freak who looks like a model but is actually the creepiest man alive he loves hands severed hands like they're his girlfriend he's a freaky ass [ __ ] if you think that's nasty you're right it's seriously messed up cira stand is Killer Queen which can turn anything into a love bomb imagine touching a door knob and it explodes in your face or picking up a piece of paper that goes boom in your hand that's cira style he's not flashy though he wants a quiet Life free to collect his disgusting trophies one day joske and okuyasu's buddy Shi a short dude obsessed with money finds Kira's bag by accident his stand Harvest is like an army of tiny bugs that pick up coins and other goodies from all over town he notices something weird though in the bag a woman's hand big mistake he then confronts Kira and Kira blows him up this is the moment when everyone goes oh oh bro a crash out we probably got to do something about him Kira decides to hide from joske jodo and the others by changing his face he forces a beautician who has the stand Cinderella to do some heavy plastic surgery magic she can reshape people's looks completely so Kira kills some random dude named kosaku kawajiri and takes his appearance now he's living with kaku's wife and their son hayato shinobu is like wow my husband is different but she kind of liked the crazy killer Vibe she's toxic meanwhile hayato's all like you're not my dad so Kira is stuck playing house hoping nobody finds him before he can slip away at the same time Kira's father yoshihiro uses the bow and arrow to create new stand users hoping they will protect his son this triggers battles across morio Toyah hero kadai and his bizarre stand Superfly a literal telephone transmission tower face off against joske and Company after this they then face tyos Moto's Enigma which conceal people into sheets of paper by terrifying them Rohan then challenges Ken oyanagi a boy who stand boy to man and anybody get the reference Whose stand steals parts of an opponent's stand during successive victories in rock paper scissors these scatter conflicts test each member of the group in different ways but they all connect back to one goal to expose and defeat Kira once and for all all these different fights distract joske and his Palace from finding Kira meanwhile hayato who's slowly piecing things things together realizes his dad is actually the psycho Kira Kira now cornered unlocks his stand's deadly new power bites the dust this ability plants a mini Killer Queen inside hayato creating a Time Loop each time someone discovers Kira's true identity the loop kills that person with a big explosion then rewinds the day so it happens all over again each Loop hayato remembers what happened but nobody else does until they blow up again but little hayato is a sharp cookie he uses the time Loop to trick Kira he sets up a situation where joske and the others catch Kira off guard at just the right moment just before the explosion can kill them all big brain moves my guy there's a huge battle in the streets and Kira tries to blow everyone up but joske's Crazy Diamond keeps healing everything and jodo is ready to punch Kira's face in with star Platinum Kira now cornered is fatally wounded and attempts one last bomb detonation her raises his hand just as an ambulance rushes in crushing his limbs before he can activate Killer Queen he dies in the street and soon finds his Spirit trapped in Remy's ghost alley in a grim Twist of oh so sweet Poetic Justice she guides him towards the Alley's deadly exit where malevolent hands drag him into the Afterlife ensuring his evil can never return with kir defeated and the town now lifted of his curse jodo and Joseph leave town with joske seeing them off as the summer of 1999 comes to an end personally I love this series of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure this would probably be my second favorite season it was just so quirky all of the different stands and especially the color palette of the animation looked so vivid to me I really felt like this is one of the standouts in JoJo JoJo's Bizarre Adventure golden win was created by H roiko oraki the manga was first published by shua and weekly Shonen jump from December 11th 1995 5 to April 5th 1999 the anime adaptation was produced by David production and first aired in Japan on October 6 2018 running until July 28th 2019 totaling 39 episodes so let's get into the story all right so there's this kid named gioro giovana and he lives in Italy Italy is Pizza Pasta and apparently a bunch of very dangerous people who like to stand around flexing we'll get to that part later gono is not your average guy however he's got fancy blonde hair with donuts on top yes donut-shaped hair lumps very stylish and even though he looks all fancy he started off pretty rough people did not treat him well when he was little but one day he helped a mysterious stranger and this random act of kindness changed his entire life now he's got Big Dreams actually they're super big he wants to become a gang star that's a fancy way of saying I want to rule the mafia but I also want to be a good guy which you know is is kind of like saying I want to be a nice robber but hey it's anime logic so we roll with it turns out giorno's dad is dio who was basically an evil vampire from the earlier parts of the JoJo series but Dio used the body of Jonathan joar so gioro also has that Joe star blood confused yet just think of it like a big family tree with lots of weird branches anyway Gio's out there hustling on the streets of Naples he picks Pockets rides on fancy boat rides for free obviously viously and he can also make frogs appear out of nowhere and that's because he has a stand an embodiment of his fighting Spirit called gold experience or sometimes golden wind stands are like ghostly superpowers they can do weird stuff like punch you a million times or bake you into a pizza if the plot demands it gioro stand can give life to non-living things turning random items into animals so if he's bored he can turn your shoes into a parrot or your wallet into a tree frog don't question it it's just normal in this show eventually kichi dispatched by joto Kujo arrives in Italy to locate this mysterious young man after witnessing giorno's stand and a brief Chase koigi realizes Giorno actually wants to do good albeit in a sneaky Mafia way so kichi calls Joo and says mission accomplished then leaves best Cameo ever soon after gioro has a showdown with Bruno bardi a slick dude in a white suit covered in zippers he's also part of passion a sick ass Mafia group Bruno stand Sticky Fingers can unzip your limbs or even walls turning you into a fancy handbag if he's in a bad mood jono and Bruno briefly fight but they sense each other's moral code turns out Bruno is also fed up with pason's cruelty he'd rather see the mafia used for justice than for Terror gioro impresses Bruno by bamboozling him with a frog trick from there Bruno brings joro to meet PA po a giant Pion C who can flatten himself like a balloon inside a prison cell popo tests new recruits by handing them a lighter and saying keep the flame lit for 24 hours if it goes out and you try to relight it his shadowy stand Black Sabbath pops up and kills you naturally gioro outsmarts the system using creative nonsense he passes and earns Popo's approval however jorno quietly frames poo so that ironically he ends up dying in a weird accident let's not forget this is Doo Sun we're dealing with with pul gone a mountain of gold belongs to Bruno's team which now includes Giorno this dream team has a colorful crew of Misfits including Leon abbachio a grumpy ex cop who lost his job due to a dark mistake with his stand Moody Blues which can replay past events like a ghostly VCR Guido Mista he's cheerful but terrified of the number four his stand Sex Pistols is six tiny bullet Gremlins that talk eat pizza the crumbs and help him shoot the [ __ ] out of bad guys Nara GGA a scrappy teen with zero math skills his stand Aerosmith is a mini fighter plane that blasts baddies by tracking carbon dioxide and panakot fugo a genius with anger issues his stand Purple Haze unleashes a virus that melts anything Friend or Foe not exactly easy to control these four weirdos plus bii arti are now Gio's new family they do small errands for Pasion then they get a new assignment protect a special girl named Trish yauna she's the daughter of the big boss of Pasion a mysterious guy who no one's ever met everyone's like we must protect her for unknown reasons meanwhile all these assassins from within the gang itself are like oo let's kidnap Trish find out who her dad is and take over the mafia because apparently everyone in the mafia wants a piece of that sweet sweet power however other factions within Pason want Trish for themselves they figure if they grab the boss's daughter it might force him out of hiding or they can just take control they go to Pompei where naria Tangles with Formaggio who can shrink people using a stand little feet leaving nashia tiny in a giant City while Aerosmith fires psize bullets then on a fancy bullet train to Florence they fight the duo pruto and pessi pruto the Grateful Dead rapidly ages passenger turning them gray-haired and frail while pes's Beach Boy hooks enemies like a creepy fishing rod through floors and walls it's zany but Bruno Squad squeaks out victories by combining their powers and a healthy dose of luck abaco's Moody Blues helps figure out hidden stand abilities by rewinding environments and Mista Sex Pistols keep deflecting bullets in weird angles Naran bombs entire cabins it's chaos but also it's kind of great teamwork eventually the group arrives in Venice expecting to hand Trish off to her father but guess what the boss known later as dialo tries to kill Tris in a spooky basement Hideout he's like no one can know my identity not even my own daughter Bruno outraged rescues Trish though he's critically injured in the process something magical involving giorno's healing keeps Bruno moving even after he should be dead despite the miracle Bruno realizes the boss is pure evil so he rallies a squad to stand against him fugo however is terrified of the entire mafia's wrath and bailes disappearing from the story line yeah bro is cooked the rest vow to protect Trish and stop dialo's reign of terror so now team buari minus fugo is on a mission find out the boss's real name his face and anything that can help them beat him they learn from Secret Intel that dialo was born on the island of Sardinia so they had there meanwhile the boss is flipping out like like oh no my Secret's getting out must kill them all on Sardinia poor abbachio is using Moody Blues to replay the boss's past hoping to see his real face dialo and his Unstoppable stand King Crimson show up and ibako gets done in but Ibaka's Last Breath carves a stone face on the ground so they can see what dialo actually looks like that's a major clue though it cost ibako his life now the squad is super ticked off and they vow to to avenge him in Italy rumor squirrel that a special stand Arrow can upgrade your stand to a new form called recum and that might be the only way to beat King Crimson they go to Rome chasing this arrow and it turns out to be guarded by Jean Pierre pner a veteran from the earlier JoJo Adventures now in a wheelchair after a brutal fight with dialo he explains that the arrow can give a stand crazy new abilities possibly powerful enough to outsmart time eraser as they talk dialo shows up again he's got a split personality occasionally acting as a timid Alter Ego doio pulner tries to use the arrow but dialo stabs him P's dying Spirit then merges with silver Chariot creating Chariot recum which goes wild and puts everyone to sleep when they wake they discover they body swapped with each other Chariot recum wanders around the city with the arrow defending it from anyone who tries to grab it and the entire group is in chaos Bruno bardi who was basically living on borrowed time sens as his spirit is about to leave his body for good but he's determined to help Giorno take down dialo dialo tries to sneak up and erase time again but the team finally finds a way to catch him off guard they break Chariot Rec's control by striking its weak point a little bug behind its head the arrow drops and gioro manages to grab it he evolves gold experience into golden experience recum and this new form basically says Nah time eraser means nothing to me and beats the hell out of dialo mortally wounded d falls into the river Tris urges Giorno to look for him but Giorno claims that it won't be necessary dialo attempts to crawl into a tunnel but is fatally stabbed by a homeless man who was under the influence of the drugs that dialo sells dialo then keeps reliving different death scenarios AS giorno's stand threw him into an endless loop of death with dialo finally defeated gioro and the others learned that despite his body being dead pner managed to keep his soul attached to this Turtle which Yuro decides to keep the arrow inside of for safekeeping Mista leads the others back to the Coliseum to tend to board's wounds unaware of his death in the end we see Giorno in a spiffy Black Mafia suit looking all badass it's both cool and a bit scary but hey maybe he'll run the mafia in a Kinder way and that's the end of the story personally I really enjoyed golden wind I thought it was a cool different take on the whole JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series especially focusing on Dio's son if any anybody who's watched the previous series knows that we would probably expected his son to be pure evil but flipping it that he was conceived with the body of Jonathan Joe star was really interesting to watch as a viewer but the most important takeaway from this series is the ending theme song every time I close my eyes JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stone ocean was created by heroo oraki the manga was first published by shuaa in weekly Shonen Jump magazine from December 7th 1999 to April 8th 2003 three the anime adaptation was produced by David Productions and began streaming worldwide on Netflix starting December 1st 2021 releasing its episode in batches in totaling 38 Episodes so let's get into the story it's 2011 and 10 years after the events of golden wind Jolene Kujo was a regular 19-year-old girl until her boyfriend Romeo hit someone with his fancy car Romeo says hey Jolene help me out the body and she says uh okay because love makes people do dumb stuff of course that plan goes downhill the cops show up and Romeo's family is Rich and Shady so they frame Jolene for the crime she goes to court where her lawyer is about as trustworthy as a raccoon in a trash can the lawyer is like surprise you get 15 years in prison because the victim was alive when she and Romeo tossed him side note if your BF has you catching bodies for him maybe stop dating Florida mans before she gets locked away she receives two gifts personal items from her mom and a pendant from her aranged dad joto Kujo when Jolene pricks her finger on it something is Unleashed a special power that gives her a stand it turns out the pendant Was A Shard from the stand Arrow which basically gives her the ability to summon a cool fighting spirit that can do mystical stuff in her case spin a thin strand of thread from her body capable of enhancing her senses and attack range but let's not get too fancy with the words yet the prison bus is waiting so Jolene arrives at Green Dolphin Street prison also called the aquarium inside Jolene
