My Top 3 Stand in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Series (Personal Opinion)
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is one of the most unique anime series. The art style used by Hirohiko Araki, author of the JoJo series, is very unique and distinctive. Each series uses a different art style, making this anime very iconic among anime fans. Not only the art style, but the power system in this series is also very unique compared to other anime series, called “Stand”. Stand is the power system in the JoJo series anime, where this power comes from the manifestation of a soul with strong determination. The form of this power system is the manifestation itself, through a projection that comes out of the user's body, like an avatar that appears from within the user's body. Each Stand possesses its own unique power, stemming from the author's creativity, much like the series' title, which is quite ‘bizarre.’ Since I am a huge fan of the entire series, I will share my three favorite Stands from the entire JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series.
1. Killer Queen
Kira Yoshikage's Stand, named Killer Queen, first appeared in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4. Kira Yoshikage himself is the main villain in JoJo Part 4, who is undoubtedly very powerful. His Stand, Killer Queen, takes its name from the legendary band Queen's song of the same name, Killer Queen. This Stand has a main ability, which is to turn anything it touches into a bomb and explode it. There are a total of 3 abilities, namely First Bomb: turns anything this Stand touches into a bomb. Second Bomb: Sheer Heart Attack, an ability in the form of a tool from the Stand's hand, which will target something with heat and explode it. Fun fact: Second Bomb: Sheer Heart Attack is also named after a Queen album. And the last ability, Third Bomb: Bites The Dust, has the ability to plant a bomb on someone, which will trigger an explosion if someone tries to find out Kira Yoshikage's true identity. If the explosion is triggered, time will run backwards to the moment the bomb was planted on someone. What I like about this Stand is its ability and its simple yet cool design. It has a cat-like head and skull accessories decorating its body.
2. Wonder of U

Wonder of U is Tooru's Stand, which first appeared in the manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 8: Jojolion. This Stand has the ability of “Flows of Calamity,” meaning that anyone who pursues, searches for, targets, or attacks the user or their Stand will immediately suffer misfortune, no matter how absurd it may seem. This Stand is humanoid and remote-controlled. What I like about this Stand is its design, which is filled with dark colors that give it a mysterious aura, and the use of a hat commonly worn by older people, which adds to its mysteriousness. I also like its ability, which I think is very powerful. In a way, the user of this Stand is “untouchable”; if one were to possess this Stand, anyone with malicious intent would be unable to approach the user. Thus, there is no need to fear being in a high-crime area.
3. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (D4C)
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (D4C) is the Stand belonging to the main antagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 7: Steel Ball Run, President Funny Valentine. This stand has the ability to travel to and from parallel universes user by being caught between two objects. This Stand can also pull people and objects from parallel worlds into the current one, and if two versions of the same person meet, they will merge and be destroyed unless they are both Funny Valentine, who can co-exist and even work with alternate versions of himself. What I like about this stand is its unique color palette design, with a head shape that looks like it's wearing a mask with tall horns.
Those are my three favorite Stands from the entire JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. Keep in mind that these are my personal preferences, so if you also have a favorite Stand, feel free to write it in the comments section. Thank you for reading!
