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 Gives Fans a Bizarre Iggy

Iggy was a big Stand User in Stardust Crusaders but have you ever wanted to see what he would look like as a human?

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has introduced quite a few Stand users in its history, and not all of them have been human. In the initial storyline that first introduced the concept of Stands to anime fans, Stardust Crusaders, one of the biggest heroes to have Jotaro Kujo’s back was Iggy. Iggy just so happened to be a terrier that could summon a Stand and had an affinity for coffee-flavored chewing gum. Instead of simply giving a real-life dog a Stand, one cosplayer has dressed to look exactly like the Stardust Crusader.

Unfortunately for the adorable Stand-using canine, Iggy was not able to survive the events of Stardust Crusaders. In fighting against one of Dio Brando’s strongest henchmen, Vanilla Ice, Iggy lost his life and would not return in future storylines. Surprisingly enough, the pooch did make a comeback in two unique fronts, with JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure giving him his own short story recently thanks to the manga. Surprisingly enough, Iggy was resurrected in the game, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven, though the events of this story haven’t and their way to either the manga or anime. With the video game uniting various generations of Joestars, the tale would make for a wild anime adventure.

The Resurrection of Iggy

Iggy’s Stand was known as “The Fool” taking its name from a tarot card rather than a musical reference. Having the ability to manipulate sand and even transform itself into sand if need be, it, unfortunately, wasn’t enough to save his owner. Despite no longer being amongst the land of the living, it’s clear that anime fans still have a soft spot for the canine Stand user.
