This JJBA trivia quiz has 118 free questions with answers on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, from Jonathan Joestar and the Stone Mask in Phantom Blood to Jodio and the Lava Rock in The JoJoLands. It covers all nine parts of Hirohiko Araki's manga, the David Production anime, the 1993 OVA, the live-action film and the video games, plus the odd corners of the franchise like Rohan at the Louvre and Gucci. The easy questions are for anyone who has finished the anime: whose Stand is Star Platinum, where Stardust Crusaders is heading, what Killer Queen does. The harder ones go after details only a real JoJo fan remembers: Gyro Zeppeli's real name, which Sex Pistols number is missing, what Made in Heaven was called during serialization, which battle Stroheim died at, and the novel Araki borrowed the two-family rivalry from. There is a mix of manga lore, production trivia and Stand mechanics, so it works whether you came in through the anime or the tankōbon. Every answer has been checked against a reference page and each question shows its source once you answer, so if you disagree with a call, you can see exactly where it came from.

Q 01Who writes and illustrates JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?
Hirohiko Araki
Hirohiko Araki, born in Sendai in 1960, has written and drawn every part of JoJo since the series began in January 1987.
Q 02In which magazine was JoJo's Bizarre Adventure originally serialized from 1987 to 2004?
Weekly Shōnen Jump
Weekly Shōnen Jump carried JoJo until 2004; the move to monthly Ultra Jump suited Araki, who has said weekly deadlines and short chapters restricted what he could draw.
Q 03In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, what are Stands?
Psycho-spiritual manifestations of a person's fighting spirit
Psycho-spiritual manifestations of a person's fighting spirit, Stands arrived in Stardust Crusaders, devised by Araki as a way to draw unseen psychic power as a visible figure beside its user.
Q 04In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, what is the sunlight-based breathing martial art used by Jonathan and Joseph Joestar called?
Hamon
Hamon, also translated as the Ripple, focuses bodily energy into sunlight through controlled breathing, which is why it works so well on vampires.
Q 05Mainline members of JoJo's Joestar family share a star-shaped birthmark where on their bodies?
Above the left shoulder blade
Above the left shoulder blade: because DIO steals Jonathan's body he carries the mark too, and passes it on to his son Giorno Giovanna.
Q 06What is the title of Part 1 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?
Phantom Blood
Phantom Blood ends with its hero Jonathan Joestar dying at sea on his honeymoon, so Part 2 hands the story to his grandson Joseph.
Q 07Dio Brando becomes a vampire in Part 1 by using what ancient artefact?
A Stone Mask
A Stone Mask: caught poisoning his adoptive father, Dio puts it on as blood splashes it, and spikes pierce his skull to make him a vampire.
Q 08Who leads the Pillar Men that Joseph Joestar fights in Battle Tendency?
Kars
Kars ends up blasted into space by a volcanic eruption; unable to die and unable to return, he drifts until he finally stops thinking.
Q 09The Pillar Men are seeking which object, which will turn them into invincible superbeings?
The Red Stone of Aja
The Red Stone of Aja would free the Pillar Men from their fatal weakness to sunlight; Lisa Lisa keeps the flawless Super Aja on her island off Venice.

Egypt
The Crusaders cross Asia from Japan to Egypt, where DIO waits in Cairo, racing to save Joseph's daughter Holy, whose own Stand is slowly killing her.
Q 11What is the name of Jotaro's Stand?
Star Platinum
Jotaro's Star Platinum has incredible strength, speed and precision, and in the fight with DIO it learns to stop time for a few seconds.
Q 12Araki modelled Jotaro, including his poses and catchphrases, on which American actor?
Clint Eastwood
Clint Eastwood: Jotaro's finger-pointing pose copies the actor aiming a .44 Magnum, and his weary 'yare yare daze' imitates the kind of line Eastwood's heroes mutter.
Q 13Which Stand does DIO wield in Stardust Crusaders?
The World
The World stops time, for five seconds at first and nine by the end, long enough for DIO to drop a road roller on Jotaro in their final fight.
Q 21Diamond Is Unbreakable is set in 1999 in which Japanese town?
Morioh
Morioh, modelled on a corner of Araki's home city Sendai, looks ordinary yet hides a serial killer; a quake-damaged version returns in JoJolion's separate continuity.
Q 22What is the big limitation of Crazy Diamond, Josuke's Stand that repairs objects and people?
It cannot heal its user
It cannot heal its user, Josuke, nor raise the dead, so he could only close the wounds of his murdered grandfather.
Q 23What is the power of Yoshikage Kira's Stand, Killer Queen?
Turning any object into a bomb
Q 14Joseph Joestar's Stand Hermit Purple, like most Stands in Part 3, is named after what?
A tarot card
Hermit Purple takes its name from The Hermit tarot card, like the other Crusaders' Stands; Joseph uses its vines for spirit photography through cameras and TV sets.
Q 15Iggy, the Stand-using member of the Stardust Crusaders, is what kind of animal?
A Boston Terrier
A Boston Terrier: Iggy lived as a stray no one could catch until Avdol trapped him for the trip, and the group keeps him calm with coffee-flavoured chewing gum.
Q 16Hol Horse's Stand, Emperor, takes the form of what object?
A revolver
Emperor manifests as a revolver in Hol Horse's hand; the bullets it fires are part of the Stand, so Hol Horse can steer them in mid-air.
Q 17Muhammad Avdol's Stand Magician's Red manipulates fire, usually shaped like which symbol?
An ankh
An ankh: his signature Crossfire Hurricane hurls several flaming ankhs at once, and Avdol himself is shot and left for dead in India, only to return alive.
Q 18Noriaki Kakyoin's long-range Stand attack, a blast of green energy, is called what?
Emerald Splash
Emerald Splash is a spray of energy shards from Kakyoin's Stand Hierophant Green; his dying shot wrecks a clock tower to tell Joseph the secret of DIO's power.
Q 19Jean Pierre Polnareff's Stand Silver Chariot is an armoured knight wielding what weapon?
A rapier
A rapier: Silver Chariot fences at blinding speed, sheds its armour to move faster still, and as a last resort can fire the blade off its sword.
Q 20Which servant of DIO kills both Avdol and Iggy inside DIO's mansion?
Vanilla Ice
Vanilla Ice: his Stand Cream swallows whatever it touches into a void, yet DIO has made him a vampire, so Polnareff wins by forcing him into sunlight.
Turning any object into a bomb leaves no trace, which is how the mild-mannered office worker has hidden his murders for years.
Q 24Rohan Kishibe's Stand, Heaven's Door, does what to a person?
Turns them into a readable book
Turns them into a readable book: Rohan, a manga artist hungry for real material, leafs through a person's memories and can write commands on the pages that they must obey.
Q 25Whose Stand Echoes evolves through three forms called Acts?
Koichi Hirose
Koichi Hirose gains each Act as he grows through the story; Act 3, which he unlocks in his first clash with Kira, pins a target to the ground by making it crushingly heavy.
Q 26Okuyasu Nijimura's Stand The Hand does what to whatever it swipes?
Erases the space it occupies
Erases the space it occupies: the gap then closes up, so Okuyasu can yank a distant enemy or object straight to him, a power Josuke thinks he is too slow-witted to exploit.
Q 27Golden Wind opens in 2001 in which Italian city?
Naples
Naples is where Giorno, DIO's son, joins the gang Passione, aiming to become its boss and stop drugs reaching the city's children; the story later moves on to Venice and Sardinia.
Q 28What is the name of Giorno Giovanna's Stand, which gives life to non-living things?
Gold Experience
Gold Experience can turn a suitcase into a frog; pierced by the Arrow it becomes Gold Experience Requiem, which resets any action to zero and traps Diavolo in endless deaths.
Q 29In JoJo's Golden Wind, Bruno Bucciarati's Stand Sticky Fingers can put what on any object it touches?
A zipper
A zipper: he can unzip a wall and walk straight through the opening, or take himself apart to dodge attacks.
Q 30Which number is missing from the six bullet-riding beings, numbered 1 to 7, of Guido Mista's Stand Sex Pistols?
#4
#4 is missing because Mista has tetraphobia, a dread of the number four as bad luck, so his six Sex Pistols are numbered 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7.
