8 Jean Pierre Polnareff & Noriaki Kakyoin VS J. Geil
Polnareff Finally Gets Revenge For His Sister's Death
- Occurs In: Stardust Crusaders
Polnareff was on the hunt for a man with two left hands who brutally killed his sister. Finally, during his adventures in Calcutta, Polnareff encounters this heinous villain and strives to get revenge alongside his friend, Kakyoin.
The battle is a nerve-wracking affair, with J. Geil's Stand using reflective surfaces to dart around and attack his enemies. However, Kakyoin's quick thinking forces Hanged Man to pursue a predictable route, allowing Polnareff to stab it into submission and finally avenge his sister's death.
7 Yoshikage Kira VS Shigekiyo Yangu, Aka. Shigechi
Shigechi Was Annoying, But He Didn't Deserve This Fate
- Occurs In: Diamond is Unbreakable
Most people find Shigechi to be an irritating character, but his battle against Kira redeems him in the eyes of many. After their lunch bags are switched out, Kira does everything in his power to try and retrieve the precious hand taken from him.
Shigechi eventually uncovers Kira's true nature and is on the verge of letting Josuke and Okuyasu know this valuable information, only for Kira to make him explode with his ability. It's a heartbreaking moment, with Shigechi being blown to smithereens without being able to say goodbye to his friends.
6 Foo Fighters VS Enrico Pucci
F.F. Thanks Jolyne For Letting Her Enjoy A Human Life
- Occurs In: Stone Ocean
F.F. Is a sentient Stand who gets a new lease on life courtesy of Jolyne's kindness. She doesn't waste this opportunity and aids her friends whenever she can, but this character meets her end in a tense battle against Pucci.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Every Protagonist's Age, Height, And Birthday
When it comes to the protagonists of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, fans may be curious about these little details regarding these characters.
She walks into an ambush and almost loses the powers of her Stand, but can use Anasui's help to acquire Jotaro's memory disk. However, as the dehydration takes hold of her, F.F. Breathes her last, and thanks Jolyne for giving her a new lease on life one last time before passing away.
5 Noriaki Kakyoin VS Dio Brando
Even On The Verge Of Death, Kakyoin Uses His Powers To Give His Friends A Hint About Dio's Power
- Occurs In: Stardust Crusaders
The power of Dio's Stand was a mystery that the heroes tried to figure out for the longest time, which is why Kakyoin's fight against this foe put him at a disadvantage. While trying to unleash Emerald Splash, he is mortally wounded by Dio out of nowhere and is on his last legs.
However, even mere moments before his death, Kakyoin thinks about his friends first and shoots an Emerald Splash at a clock tower to give them a hint about Dio's Stand. It's the final selfless act from this beloved Stardust Crusader before he breathes his last.
4 Jean Pierre Polnareff, Muhammad Avdol, & Iggy VS Vanilla Ice
Two Beloved Crusaders Bite The Dust
- Occurs In: Stardust Crusaders
The adventure in Stardust Crusaders makes it easy for fans to bond with the heroes of this adventure. Even Iggy becomes likable after a point, which is why their fight against Vanilla Ice is so hard to witness.
His Stand, Cream, is ridiculously powerful and creates a void that consumes everything in sight. Unfortunately, Iggy and Avdol are unable to weather his assault and pass away, leaving Polnareff alone. The surviving member of the fight honors the sacrifice of his friends by exploiting Vanilla Ice's weakness to sunlight, taking him out and avenging the deaths of Iggy and Avdol.
3 Emporio Alnino, Jolyne Cujoh, Jotaro Kujo, Ermes Costello, & Narciso Anasui VS Enrico Pucci
The Universe Resets As Emporio Is The Only One Still Alive From The Previous Timeline
- Occurs In: Stone Ocean
Stone Ocean has one of the gutsiest endings in anime history, although it's accompanied by its fair share of sadness. Emporio is left as the only one still standing after Pucci's powers allow him to create a new world by causing time to accelerate at a breakneck pace.
Top 26 Most Overpowered Stand Abilities In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's Stands cover a wide range of abilities, some of which are rather overpowered.
By using Weather Report's Stand, Emporio can use the powers of Pucci's brother to bring an end to this antagonist's life once and for all. While the other heroes have technically died, their reincarnations greet Emporio, and ask him to join them on another adventure.
2 Jonathan Joestar VS Dio Brando
Every Encounter Between These Rivals Is An Emotional Affair, Especially The Final One
- Occurs In: Phantom Blood
As brief as Phantom Blood may be, it does a great job of building up the conflict between Dio and Jonathan. These two youths get into fistfights more often than not, especially given how heinous Dio's actions are.
Every battle between them is an emotional affair, especially the final fight where Dio's disembodied head ambushes Jonathan when he is about to embark on a happily married life. Even with this life ebbing away, Jonathan refuses to hate Dio and embraces him one last time as the ship burns down.
1 Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli VS Wamuu
One Of The Most Emotional Moments In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Has Been Tainted By The Internet
- Occurs In: Battle Tendency
It's a shame that Caesar's death has been meme'd to the point where fans can't help but laugh at Joseph's anguished yell. After all, fans who didn't have this death ruined for them could feel their tears flow freely as Caesar fell after a tense battle against Wamuu.
The fact that Wamuu honored both Caesar in death and his warrior spirit made things even harder to digest. Seeing Lisa Lisa struggle to contain her emotions as she lights her cigarette backwards and Jonathan yell out his friend's name makes for an emotional moment as Joseph steels himself to deal with the Pillar Men and make them pay for their atrocities.
