Stands have been an integral part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure since Stardust Crusaders way back in 1989 and Hirohiko Araki has been creating Stands ever since. To date, Araki has created 165 unique stands over the past 30 years. Stands abilities started out straightforward enough. You had your punching Stands or Stands that could control various elements like fire or electricity, but as the series went on, Stand abilities became more and more complex.

It's no surprise, then, that some Stand abilities can be a bit confusing. But which Stands have the most confusing abilities? Here are the 10 hardest Stand abilities to understand, ranked by how confusing they are!

10 Fun Fun Fun

Starting off this list is Fun Fun Fun from Part 8 of the series, Jojolion. Fun Fun Fun's ability can control someone's body but only through wounds. When the target incurs even a slight wound, the blood clots to form a symbol and the injured limb falls under Fun Fun Fun's control, and the Stand's user, Ojiro, can then control them like a puppet.

On top of that, Fun Fun Fun has to be directly above the target for the ability to work and Ojiro needs to know exactly where the target is to maintain control. It's a cool power but it's needlessly convoluted.

9 Sky High

Sky High is a Stand used by Rikiel, one of DIO's sons, in Stone Ocean. The Stand appears as a beetle-like creature attached to Rikiel's wrist and allows him to control mysterious cryptids known as Rods. These Rods are transparent rod-like creatures that can move at speeds that the naked eye. Rikiel uses them to create localized illnesses from afar...somehow.

Araki spends most of the Sky High battle just explaining how the Stand even works but we're still confused after the battle is over.

8 Civil War

Steel Ball Run had some of the strangest Stands in the series, and Civil War is one such Stand. Civil War's primary ability is to manifest a person's guilt to attack the target, but the confusion begins when the its second ability comes into play.

When anyone in Civil War's range is killed and their killer feels even the slightest bit of guilt, the victim is brought back to life. On top of that, the guilt and sacrifices of the victim manifest to attack the assailant. Civil War has so many powers within powers involving guilt and absolving sins that it's easy to get mixed up.

7 Tusk ACT IV

Manga Tusk ACT IV

Tusk is a Stand that can take various forms or ACTs. When it turns into Tusk ACT IV, it develops abilities that have us scratching our heads.

Tusk ACT IV is the embodiment of the infinite energy and rotation of the Golden Spin, which can only be achieved when Johnny makes his horse run in its "natural state" to produce rotational energy in the form of the Golden Rectangle but is then combined with Tusk somehow. ACT IV's ability causes its target to spin infinitely unit it disintegrates but also sent to another dimension.

6 Awaking III Leaves

Awaking III Leaves is a Stand that requires a knowledge of math and physics to use its abilities. This Stand can manipulate vector spaces by spawning arrows that can be placed in different directions to move energy in the direction the arrows are pointing. Arrows can also be stacked in the same axis, like when Mitsuba, the user, tripled the acceleration of an elevator by stacking three arrows consecutively, multiplying the force, which brings up a whole mess of questions.

Does Mitsuba have to know the force of the base energy to be able to redirect it? Do the arrows themselves have a set force? Do the arrows automatically accelerate energy or does Mitsuba have to do an equation in her head to know how many arrows to create? We may never know.

5 Paisley Park

JoJo Manga Paisley Park

Honestly, Jojolion has some of the weirdest Stand abilities in the entire series, which is saying something. Take Yasuho's Stand, Paisley Park, for instance. Paisley Park's abilities can be simplified easy enough; it's a Stand that guides Yasuho and/or those close to her to where they need to go or to escape danger. Easy, right?

But the Stands only guides people by having them make a choice between two time-limited options that gives different results depending on what option was chosen. It also doesn't make it easier to understand when Yasuho describes Paisley Park's abilities herself. She says there are an infinite number of indistinguishable doors but one of those doors has the possibility of being opened and that's what her Stand does.

4 Dragon's Dream

The Stand Dragon's Dream from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean

The fight against Dragon's Dream in Stone Ocean is one of the strangest in this part of the saga, and that's all because of this Stand's ability. Dragon's Dream has no combative or defensive capabilities to speak of, but its ability revolves around the concept Feng Shui.

Using the principle of Feng Shui, Dragon's Dream creates a compass that its user can use to read the coordinates of lucky and unlucky spot, which he uses to evade attacks. The most confusing aspect of this Stand is how it allows its user to basically teleport his limbs near the target to attack.

3 Weather Report

Weather Report is a Stand with the ability to control weather and create weather patterns such as heavy rain and fog at will. Sounds simple, right? Well, no, because this Stand also has an ability called Heavy Weather, which can turn people into snails in a way that makes absolutely no sense.

Heavy Weather can create various rainbows in a vicinity that, if touched, transforms a person's body into a snail. Apparently, the reason for this is because Heavy Weather subconsciously alters the atmosphere to create a subtle light projection that causes organisms to think that they're actually snails, which also somehow makes them also actually turn into snails.

2 King Crimson

This is the Stand that spawned countless memes from the confusion its abilities caused. The confusion is the result of poor fan translations for the manga, but even with better translations and the manga being adapted to anime, King Crimson's abilities can still cause the kind of confusion the author did not intend.

King Crimson's main ability is to erase a frame of time up to 10 seconds. During this time frame (which doesn't exist but also does), Diavolo can move at will but everyone else are unable to experience anything that happened in that erased time frame. Afterwards, they find themselves in the situation they're supposed to be in. As confusing as it is, all you need to know is that it just works.

1 Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (D4C) allows different parallel worlds to co-exist at the same time and in the same place, a power that was introduced with the mystery of who shot Johnny Joestar. The solving of the mystery is a wildly confusing series of events.

D4C used its dimensional ability to swap the original versions of Diego and Wekapipo with alternate world versions, then Valentine had them each believe they were shooting the other, but they were really shooting Johnny, but Valentine also shot Johnny, so the person who shot Johnny Joestar was Valentine... but so did Diego and Wekapipo. They all shot him at different times but also somehow at the same time, and no matter how many times we read it, it's still confusing.
