JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Cosplay Swims in The Stone Ocean With Anasui

The Stone Ocean’s Jolyne Cujoh wasn’t alone in her fight against Pucci and one cosplayer has honored the one of the Joestar’s greatest allies.

The Stone Ocean didn’t just introduce anime fans to the daughter of Stardust Crusader star, Jotaro Kujo, but it also brought in some wild characters and Stands into the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure franchise. Narcisco Anasui didn’t just have a secret love for Jolyne, but also had a Stand of his own that helped him to survive the events of the Stone Ocean…sort of. Now, one cosplayer has brought back the man who went into battles with his Stand, Diver Down, and had one of the wildest fashion styles of the franchise.

While Anasui’s love of Jolyne wasn’t reciprocated in much of the Stone Ocean’s story, things would change thanks in part to how this JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure entry ended. Thanks to Pucci re-writing the universe, the only way to put an end to his plan was to effectively create a new reality. The original iterations of the characters that were introduced during the Stone Ocean were killed in the final battle, but the young Stand user Emporio was able to defeat Pucci and create a new universe in the process. Transforming Jolyne into “Irene”, she had a relationship with the new Anasui and thus JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure became that much stranger. 

Narciso Anasui Stands Tall

While Anasui hasn’t appeared since the final installment of the Stone Ocean, creator Hirohiko Araki hasn’t been shy about bringing back old characters to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. In The JOJOLAnds, Diamond Is Unbreakable’s Kishibe Rohan made a return appearance to be a part of Jodio and Dragona’s story. The franchise has also seen old fan-favorite come back in new short stories, meaning it’s possible that Narciso makes a comeback at

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Cosplay Unlocks Josuke’s Final Form

A viral JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure cosplay has surfaced comparing Josuke’s iconic hair to… Croc clogs.

The name JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure says it all. The manga has been around for decades now, and creator Hirohiko Araki was very smart in calling the series bizarre. From its wild supernatural powers to its fashion, JoJo has been breaking ground for a long time. And now, one fan is going viral after they toed the line with their cosplay of Josuke Higashikata.

The piece surfaced on X (Twitter) after a fan snapped a photo of DorkHyde at Katsubound. As you can see below, the user caught Josuke in the wild, and no one could have prepared them for how the cosplay came together. After all, the entire look is spot on… until you get to the hair.

Because yes, that is a Croc shoe on the cosplayer’s head. Yes, it is meant to mimic Josuke’s wild hairdo. And yes, it does strangely work.

By wearing an oversized Croc on their head, DorkHyde has perfectly brought Josuke’s coifed hair to life in the wildest way possible. The only way it could have been made better is with purple highlights. But when it comes to creativity, this JoJo cosplay deserves all the award. There are a ton of Josuke looks out there, after all, but none of them come close to this design.

If you have never had the pleasure of meeting Josuke, the character is one of the most famous Joestar leads to date. Josuke appeared in Diamond Is Unbreakable which is the franchise’s fourth part. As the illegitimate son of Joseph Joestar, the protagonist wields his family’s impressive power, and his Stand, Crazy Diamond, can repair just about anything. You

Golden Wind Launches New Jewelry Line

Golden Wind is one of the flashiest entries in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure and has a new jewelry line to prove it.

bizarre-adventure/”JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure hasn’t been afraid to bring back old characters for new storylines. Jotaro Kujo for example was the star of Stardust Crusaders but made appearances in Diamond Is Unbreakable, Golden Wind, and Stone Ocean. While Giorno Giovanna of the Golden Wind has yet to make a return following the conclusion of his storyline, it’s clear that his legacy in Hirohiko Araki’s franchise continues thanks to a new jewelry line that shows off the aesthetics of the son of Dio Brando and his friends.

Giorno Giovanna might have been the son of the vampire Dio, but he was nothing like his nefarious parent. Aside from having no vampiric abilities, Giorno attempted to bring peace to Italy by overtaking the Passione mafia. Of course, Giovanna had more than a few roadblocks in his way as he found himself fighting against the minions of Diavolo, and eventually, the Passione mob boss himself. Luckily, Giorno had quite a bit of backup thanks to Bruno Bucciarati and his allies, setting the stage for one of the wildest chapters in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure history. Ultimately, Giorno is able to accomplish his goal, taking over the mob and setting it on a far more selfless path. 

Giorno’s Bizarre Adventure

jojo“Premium Bandai has opened up sales for the new Golden Wind jewelry line that will be made open to pre-order until the end of October. The Golden jewelry line will feature necklaces, earrings, rings, and more that capture the aesthetic of the likes of Giorno and Bruno from the Golden Wind. As Giorno became a mafia boss at the end of his story, he can afford some serious jewelry at

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Is Rolling Out a New Makeup Line

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is the forefront in anime fashion, so it’s no surprise to see its getting a new makeup line.

Hirohiko Araki has been working on JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure since the 1980s and has stated in the past that he would love nothing more than to work on the Joestars for the rest of his days. Aside from creating countless colorful characters to populate the anime franchise, the mangaka has also created some eye-popping fashion that many characters wear in the series. To this day, there are no anime characters that quite look like the Joestars and a company in Japan is partnering with the anime franchise to create a make-up line for the Stone Ocean.

The Stone Ocean is the sixth major storyline of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, focusing on the daughter of Stardust Crusader Jotaro Kujo. Jolyne, finding herself placed in prison for a crime she didn’t commit, unfortunately, found herself in the family business of Stand battles as she attempted to clear her name while navigating her way through a deadly confinement. The latest season of the anime debuted on Netflix, and with its controversial ending, completely changed the landscape of the anime franchise from Araki. While David Production has yet to confirm when/if the anime will return, the next logical chapter will be Steel Ball Run.

JoJo’s Bizarre Makeup

The makeup producers at Shu Uemura will be releasing this new Stone Ocean line later this fall, beginning in Japan on November 1st. Here’s how the company describes the upcoming line, “With the unique worldview of “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” and Shu Uemura’s makeup, let’s embark on an adventure into a colorful world. Enjoy the twisted marble patterns, color-changing glitter, and the “bizarre” combination created by the highly reflective metal colors. Boldly, like Jolyne

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Creator Loves Everything About Shrek Except One Thing

Hirohiko Araki, creator of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, loves Shrek but all that glitters isn’t gold.

Hirohiko Araki has been quite busy with the world of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, as a new arc has started in The JOJOLands. Focusing on the newest Joestars, Jodio and Dragona, as they attempt to make sure their mother is financially taken care of by any means necessary, fans are continuing to discover new interesting tidbits about the mangaka responsible for this popular universe. Recently, fans unearth Araki’s love of the green ogre known as Shrek, though a new comment has been revealed that shows Hirohiko doesn’t love everything related to Shrek.

While praising all of the Shrek films, Araki did note that he felt some of the sequels weren’t able to live up to the original in a new unearthed comment, “All of the Shrek movies are entertaining, from the first film to the final Installment. However, I would recommend Shrek 2 as my personal favorite. The love between Shrek and Fiona was portrayed well up until Shrek 2. However, once they introduced their children in Shrek The Third, I got the impression they only made the movie because the other two did well. It felt like they were milking it.”

Shrek’s Bizarre Adventure

Araki then, shockingly enough, continued with even more thoughts about the Shrek franchise, while even hilariously comparing the Dreamworks property to Stone Ocean, “Since Shrek’s charm comes from him being imperfect and rough around the edges, it kinda feels dissatisfying seeing him become a composed fatherly figure. Even in manga when the protagonist becomes a father, I can’t help but question how it’s going to work out. By the way, please exclude how Jotaro became Jolyne’s father from that example, as that is a completely different subject.”

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Creator Warns Fans About a Strange New Scam

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has carved out quite a niche for itself in the anime game. While the anime adaptation has yet to confirm when, or if, it will return following the conclusion of the Stone Ocean, the series has been making a name for itself thanks to its latest manga arc, The JOJOLands, and various projects that are emerging in recent years. Unfortunately, all that glitters isn’t gold as a new scam has arisen that has caused both Hirohiko Araki and the publishers of the manga to get involved.

Creator Hirohiko Araki has been working on the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure manga series for decades, with the series beginning with Phantom Blood in the 1980s. In recent interviews, Araki has stated that if he could, he would work on the manga forever, which is apparent thanks to the mangaka continuing the story of the Joestars with the latest in the franchise, The JOJOLands. While not involving Araki himself, the latest scam involves a restaurant in Japan that has been attempting to use the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure moniker to push their meals to customers. Claiming that the owner was friends with Hirohiko Araki, both the mangaka and Shueisha have released a statement when it comes to the wild hoax.

JoJo’s Bizarre Scam

Here is the official statement that was released on Horiohiko Araki’s Twitter Account, ironically enough dropping on the creator’s 63rd birthday, “We have received reports of an individual claiming to be an acquaintance of Mr. Hirohiko Araki in a certain restaurant and discussing matters related to Mr. Araki’s privacy. Please be informed that this person has no connection whatsoever with Mr. Araki or Shueisha.”

The restaurant in question had apparently been creating fictional stories that the owner was friends with the JoJo’s

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Resurrects Stone Ocean With Lingerie Line

The Stone Ocean recently came to an end on Netflix, with the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure season giving fans the franchise’s first female protagonist who just so happened to be the daughter of the previous hero, Jotaro Kujo. While the villainous priest known as Pucci was defeated in the final episode of the season, the world transformed to a very different place. While there has been plenty of merchandise highlighting the Stand Wielder of Stone Free, the wildest merch to date is set to arrive thanks to a new line of JoJo lingerie.

Next month, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is set to return with creator Hirohiko Araki looking to release the first chapter of the next arc of the popular anime franchise in JoJo Lands. To celebrate the new year, Araki released a new piece of art that many believe gave us a first look at the upcoming Joestar. While details regarding the ninth part of the series are still few and far between, many fans are continuing to speculate who the new Joestars will be, what Stands will appear, and how this new story might relate to the original universe that was left behind following the conclusion of Stone Ocean.

JoJo’s Lingerie Adventure

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is teaming up with lingerie producers at Bradelis New York, giving fans a look at the new line of lingerie modeled after Jolyne Cujoh, with Premium Bandai opening up for pre-orders that will run through the end of the month:

While JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has moved to a new reality that was featured in both Steel Ball Run and JoJolion, Jolyne did return thanks to a one-shot manga that was released last year.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Fans Uncover a Long-Lost Mario Crossover

When it comes to anime, there are more voice actors circling the industry than fans can count. Whether we’re talking subbed or dubbed content, the industry is always looking for talent, and some voice actors have made a name for themselves thanks to their characters. Legends like Charles Martinet top that list, and now, fans of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure are geeking out over the star’s resurfaced history with the anime.

Over on social media, JoJo began trending recently with help from Nintendo of all things. After the company put out its trailer for Illumination’s Mario movie, netizens had little to buzz about but the character. Of course, this brought up Martinet as he voices the plumber, and JoJo surfaced its own run-in with the actor before long. After all, the actor did work on JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure decades ago, and it seems a good few fans forgot.

A Blast From the Past

As you can see here, Martinet lent his voice to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure well before the franchise took off in the United States. He took part in the IP’s original anime OVAs as he voiced Senator Wilson Philips as well as Speedwagon Foundation Pilot. These roles went live in 1994, and as you can imagine, his role in JoJo was left to the history books.
