The long-running anime and manga franchise JoJo's Bizarre Adventure spans over a century, following the heroes of the Joestar line as they battle the forces of evil. Jonathan Joestar clashed with Dio Brando in Phantom Blood, and his grandson Joseph saved the world from the Pillar Men in Battle Tendency. In the 1980s, Jotaro Kujo and his group vanquished DIO at last in Egypt.
Cue part 4, Diamond is Unbreakable, and its punish lead, Josuke Higashikata. He battles many exotic stand users in the fictional town of Morioh, and the sinister serial killer Yoshikage Kira looms large. Many episodes featuring Kira were among the most popular with the fans, but some episodes weren't quite so loved. These bottom ten episodes weren't necessarily lousy, but fans were less than enthused about them when they rated those episodes on IMDb.
10 Episode 13: "We Picked Up Something Crazy!" (7.6)
In this episode, we witness the birth of My Hero Academia's invisible girl, Toru Hagakure! No, it's not actually a crossover, but there really is an invisible person involved. Josuke and his father Joseph stumble upon a totally invisible baby girl by the road, and they promptly rescue her. Babies need care, so Joseph borrows Josuke's money and buys an armload of baby goods, including makeup and sunglasses to make this baby easier to see and more convenient to handle. But as usual with JoJo, things get messy fast.
9 Episode 31: "July 15th (Thurs), part 1" (7.6)
These next two episodes deal with a two-parter with some seriously peculiar stands. On one hand, Yoshikage Kira is starting to tighten his grip on Morioh with his new appearance, and Hayato and Rohan are caught in the crossfire. Meanwhile, Josuke, Okuyasu, and their maybe-alien friend Mikitaka spot an odd man living in an electrical pylon. By the looks of it, he's been camping there for years, and Josuke and Mikitaka soon learn that whoever steps into the pylon's boundary becomes trapped there! Why? Because it's a stand!
8 Episode 32: "July 15th (Thurs), part 2"
The electrical pylon stand, Superfly, seems impossible to escape, until Josuke and Mikitaka devise the perfect plan to defeat its owner, trap him there, and flee. But trouble is still brewing, and Josuke hears that Koichi has fallen to a hostile stand. Josuke hurries after Koichi, but instead of finding his friend, he finds a piece of paper. A new stand user has arrived, and he can morph his victims into paper once they show certain tics while afraid.
7 Episode 27: "I'm an Alien" (7.5)
He's been mentioned a few times, but this is where Mikitaka makes his first appearance. Josuke and Okuyasu find an actual crop circle near Morioh, and that's not all. They find a rather Legolas-like teenager calling himself Mikitaka, who claims to be an alien from outer space! He can also shapeshift into nearly anything, but the sound of sirens greatly distresses him. But is he really a visitor from the stars, or a stand user playing pranks? We never learn the truth. Sorry, Mulder.
6 Episode 20: "Yukako Yamagishi Dreams of Cinderella" (7.5)
Early in Diamond is Unbreakable, Yukako is a villainous girl and a stand user, which allows her to control her hair like it's made of tentacles. By now, Yukako is more interested in simply finding happiness, and she thinks a makeover is in order. So she visits the Cinderella salon, and the benign stand user there can actually change people's faces! A life lesson is learned, though, when Koichi doesn't quite react the way Yukako wanted, and Yukako learns to appreciate her own self (and her own face) rather than forcibly become someone else.
5 Episode 8: "Yukako Yamagishi Falls in Love, Part 1" (7.5)
As mentioned earlier, Yukako is a stand user, and her stand allows her to move around her hair and grab people with it. In this early episode, Yukako becomes a stalker and kidnapper, developing a dangerous obsession with Koichi and trying to unlock his potential. Yukako lashes out at anyone who speaks ill of Koichi, and she really shows her villainous side when she kidnaps Koichi and drags him to a remote villa near town! It's not unlike Stephen King's Misery, but with stands!
4 Episode 6: "Koichi Hirose (Echoes)" (7.4)
Koichi is an ordinary high school boy at first, but that doesn't last long. Josuke and his friends run afoul of a stand user named Tamami, whose stand will manifest a person's guilt as a vault lock that emerges from their chest. The sheer weight of that guilt can overwhelm the victim, and Koichi and Okuyasu nearly succumb to it. But at the last moment, Koichi unleashes his own stand, which can create actions based on writing sound effects on items.
3 Episode 18: "Shigechi's Harvest, Part 1" (7.4)
Only a few stand users in Morioh aren't actively hostile to Josuke, and when loose change wanders off on its own, Josuke finds the perpetrator: the middle school boy Shigechi Yangu! This kid can control Harvest, a stand made of many golden beetle-beings that can scatter across town and collect whatever Shigechi desires. So far, he's used this power to collect loose change, but not actually steal. Josuke and Okuyasu borrow this power to also collect coupons, and they hope to get filthy rich!
2 Episode 7: "Toshikazu Hazamada (Surface)" (7.3)
In this early episode, we meet a stand that does a reasonable impression of a T-1000 Terminator. Toshikazu is an insidious boy who wields Surface, a stand that first appears as a large, wooden art doll. But it soon assumed Josuke's form, and proves itself formidable in combat. Later, though, the actual Josuke (with Okuyasu) catch up to Toshikazu and prove that there's only one real Josuke Higashikata around here!
1 Episode 26: "Janken Boy is Coming!" (6.6)
And now, for the lowest-rated episode of Diamond is Unbreakable. Many of these other episodes were a solid adventure, but this episode is just plain weird. Unfortunately for this show, "bizarre" doesn't always mean "cool novelty." This time, we meet a boy (who looks oddly reminiscent of Polnareff) who insists on playing janken, or rock paper scissors. He challenges Rohan, and the mind games begin as they launch a two-man tournament of best three out of five. What's more, the janken boy can absorb things through an inexplicable hole in his left cheek.
