So, you've heard whispers, maybe seen some memes. You're curious about this whole JoJo's Bizarre Adventure thing, right? But a daunting question hangs in the air: Just how many parts are there to this epic tale?
The JoJo Saga: A Generational Feast
Alright, let's break it down. As of now, there are nine main parts to the *JoJo* storyline. Each part focuses on a different member of the *Joestar* family, battling bizarre and often hilarious threats.
Think of it like this: it’s a family saga that spans generations. Each JoJo protagonist brings their own unique style and flair to the fight against evil.
From Phantom Blood to The JoJolands
Part 1, Phantom Blood, kicks things off in Victorian England. It's a classic gothic horror showdown between Jonathan Joestar and his adopted brother, Dio Brando.
Then comes Battle Tendency, set in the 1930s. Joseph Joestar, Jonathan's grandson, takes center stage. He’s a trickster who battles ancient beings known as the Pillar Men.
Part 3, Stardust Crusaders, is where things get really wild. Jotaro Kujo, Joseph's grandson and a stoic teenager, embarks on a globe-trotting adventure to defeat a resurrected Dio.
Diamond is Unbreakable (Part 4) introduces us to Josuke Higashikata, Joseph's illegitimate son. This part is set in the small, seemingly peaceful town of Morioh, which hides a dark secret.
Next up is Golden Wind (Part 5), set in Italy. Giorno Giovanna, Dio's son, dreams of becoming a gangster to reform the mafia from the inside.
Stone Ocean (Part 6) takes us to Florida. Jolyne Cujoh, Jotaro's daughter, is framed for a crime and imprisoned, where she must confront a disciple of Dio.
Steel Ball Run (Part 7) is a complete reboot of the universe. It's an alternate reality story set in 1890s America. This part involves a cross-country horse race with dangerous secrets.
JoJolion (Part 8) continues the alternate universe saga. It centers around Josuke Higashikata (again, but a different one!) in Morioh. This new Morioh is plagued by mysterious rock humans and bizarre curses.
And finally, we have the currently ongoing The JoJolands (Part 9). Details are still unfolding, but it promises a treasure hunt in the Pacific Ocean with a brand new Joestar protagonist.
But Wait, There's More... (Kind Of)
Now, some folks might quibble and say there are other stories or spin-offs. But these nine parts are the core of the JoJo universe. They're the main course of this delicious, bizarre buffet.
So, there you have it: nine parts (and counting!) of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Each part is a wild ride with its own unique charm and unforgettable characters.
Jump in, the water's weird! You might just find your new favorite anime or manga. Prepare for poses, stands, and a whole lot of "ORA ORA ORA!"
Just remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single episode. Or in this case, a single JoJo.
Embrace the bizarre!
