JoJo ’s Bizarre Adventurenow spans nine part , and the final struggle at the last of each part have provided some of the most emotional , plug , and simply fun bit in the entire series . The expression is more - or - less set : the end of the part go out a member of the Joestar bloodline face off against the part ’s overarching antagonist . With one big controversial exception — they acquire in the end .

Just because the stories normally end with the Joestar embodiment reigning winning , that obviously does n’t mean all the battles are on the same floor . There ’s huge diversity amongJoJo ’s villain and their concluding encounter , with some being protracted realization set up over the course of dozens of chapters , while others are brutal , sudden gala . From worst to good , here ’s the bear ofJoJo ’s final showdowns .

8Kars Contests Humanity and Loses

Part 2 (Battle Tendency)

It ’s punishing to pinpoint precisely what it is aboutBattle Tendencythat feels so different from any otherJoJopart . The young Joseph Joestar front a united front of antagonist on roughly equal terms with the Pillar Men . have as a whole , it ’s less thatBattle Tendencyhas one final boss , and more thatit ’s a set of extremely tough enemy space out from one another .

Kars , however , becomes an immortal " superbeing " . The fight is seize , and the stakes are extremely high . However , its finish ca n’t help but pass flat . As Kars becomes braindead while immortally float in space , there ’s certainly a sense of finality . The gimmick with the volcano is also a band of merriment on a first watch .

Battle Tendencyis a wonderful part , but it ’s so beneficial across the board that its last face-off does n’t stand out .

Nonetheless , it does n’t feel so much as though the part " builds up " to the face-off with Kars as it feels like the net saga in a chain of sagas that sees Joseph do other things just as entertaining — whether it ’s trip the light fantastic toe on the tips of spikes with Esidisi , lock in an larger-than-life chariot race with Wamuu and Kars , or ride Santana in a research lab . Battle Tendencyis a rattling part , but it ’s so well across the board that its final confrontation does n’t stand up out .

7Diavolo Gets Cast Out of Cause and Effect

Part 5 (Golden Wind)

It might be a hot take , butGiorno ’s battle with Diavolo is really fair anticlimactic . On their own , they ’re both incredibly unattackable . Diavolo ’s King Crimson is one ofJoJo ’s most puzzling viewpoint , but it does n’t take an encyclopedic cognition ofJoJostands to see that it does n’t have a whole lot of counterattack .

The way that Requiem mechanism are built out is extremely cool , and the events beleaguer Giorno ’s last opposition with Diavolo are hype and awesome . However , when it really comes to Giorno facing off against Diavolo and King Crimson , it feel almost like the only response to a Stand without weakness was to give Giorno an ability that ’s even more overpowered . It ’s unbelievable when first experience , but it does n’t give up afterward .

6Dio Brando and Jonathan Joestar Face Mutually Assured Destruction

Part 1 (Phantom Blood)

If the ranking was based on how impactful one particular face-off was , it go without saying that Dio and Jonathan ’s climactic , excited engagement at sea would be number one . There ’s a lot one can say about this battle : both Dio and Jonathan fix a saloon for mechanical strength thatBattle Tendencyimmediately had to set out to top . Not to cite , it ’s truly affecting when Jonathan parts with Erina .

In the grand strategy , though , the battle itself is very straightforward and cooky - pinnace in comparison toJoJo ’s other ultimate confrontations .

This is n’t a bang onPhantom Bloodeither . JoJowas in its proportional mechanical infancy , and it was just getting its footing as a fib too . Its emotional wallop and gamey stakes alone make it a wonderful fight to watch . It ’s far fromJoJo ’s best , though .

5Pucci Resets the Whole Universe

Part 6 (Stone Ocean)

Perhaps it ’s controversial not to place the case - off at Cape Canaveral at either the showtime or remainder of this ranking . It truly is middling , though . The controversy around the Cape Canaveral battle between Pucci and Giorno ’s whole crew has a lot more to do with its final result than the fight itself . There are some clutches and aroused mo , like Jotaro ’s decision to use The World to economise Jolyne .

In an audience , serial creator Hirohiko Araki revealed that Jojo ’s Bizarre Adventure almost saw a Stand - wielding girl champion in Stardust Crusaders .

Mostly , though , the fight reeks of the very trouble that Araki himself identified , and which originallyGiorno was probably meant to show up to solve(just like he did with King Crimson , another abject - counterplay final boss stand ): Made in Heaven is such an oppressively knock-down stand that gives Pucci such speed and agility thatbeating it is pretty much insufferable .

Digimon Adventures and Digimon Beatbreak

It was the apex of might in the originalJoJouniverse , probably only able of being countered by the in the raw disenable power of a stand like Gold Experience Requiem . Stone Ocean ’s ending itself , disregardless of whether one thinks it ’s good or regretful , take out most of its charm from everything but the Cape Canaveral encounter .

4Tooru Effects Disaster

Part 8 (Jojolion)

Jojolionis a part that ’s good on a reread . Because of the timing ofJoJo ’s anime attain popularity , for manyJoJofans , Jojolionwould have been the first part they translate alongside the acquittance docket . In that context , Tooru and Wonder of U ’s encroaching on the Higashikata family can feel underwhelming . Taken all together , though , it ’s a solid climax as mystery after mystery gets tied up inJojolion .

revisit this part , Wonder of U is an absolutely dominant enemy , and the twist linking Tooru to the infirmary managing director and the retentive - length sentient Wonder of U get every attempt by Josuke to close down in on the answers to all of his questions feel incredibly claustrophobic . The claustrophobia intensifies when Tooru ’s role as the final antagonist of part 8 solidifies and every infinite throughoutJojolion ’s lively rendition of Morioh becomes incredibly ominous . admiration of U ’s ascendancy over calamitymanages to even make open space feel smother — until , finally , he ’s taken down .

3Funny Valentine Dimension Hops to No Avail

Part 7 (Steel Ball Run)

Much likeJojolionis better on a reread , Steel Ball Run ’s final struggle will be vindicated by the Zanzibar copal adaptation . It ’s a frenzied , scattered conflict taking place across dimensionswhere Funny Valentine invariably pull in substitute and assists from other dimension . The fact thatSteel Ball Run ’s version of Dio is the critical factor against Funny Valentine is legitimately unexpected , and the growth / deployment of Johnny and Gyro ’s Spin techniques is going to be glorious when it ’s bring to life .

JoJo ’s Bizarre Adventure ’s official anime invoice on X has just announced an upcoming event that is likely to set the stage for Steel Ball Run .

Steel Ball Run ’s boss battle effortlessly culminate the entire journey Johnny and Gyro plant themselves undertaking , bringing into play Corpse Parts , Funny Valentine , other racing car , Spin , and Araki ’s stylemark flair for originative covering of underlying conception in physics , geometry , philosophy , andother disciplines that seem out of left field for a series whose humble beginnings were in the pages ofWeekly Shōnen Jump .

Gyro ’s death is heartbreaking ; meanwhile , the against - all - betting odds ability of Johnny to thrust Funny Valentine ’s cross - dimensional roadblock utilise the new universe ’s core mechanic to trump a Stand that would have been nigh - unbeatable in any otherJoJopart . It ’s fulfil , stimulating , and underrated — but the Zanzibar copal is going to change that .

2DIO and Jotaro Both Conquer “The World”

Part 3 (Stardust Crusaders)

Stardust Crusadersis one of the most influential shonen story ever , so it ’s hard to peck aside in hindsight what ’s underwhelming and what ’s really wild about the final showdown . It ’s well-situated to bet back atStardust Crusadersand evaluate its so - called " ass - pulls " , and if that ’s the criterion , then the final battle between Jotaro and DIO is underwhelming . But the line between an " ass - pull " and a genuinely surprising whirl .

On a first sentinel , Stardust Crusadersleans more toward " genuinely surprising twists " , and it stay endlessly entertaining after the fact . From DIO ’s iconic taunts ( the ever - memed " Oh ? You ’re approaching me ? " ) and the " Roadroller da ! " , to the heartache around Joseph ( with whom new viewers would have just spent two parts ) and Kakyoin , to Polnareff ’s fruitless efforts to go up the stairs , to Jotaro ’s surprise reveal that he ’d copied The World , the fight is enthralling and unexpected from the consequence the Stardust Crusaders commence trying to earnestly confront DIO in Cairo . It ’s an unequaled combat — except for one .

1Yoshikage Kira Is JoJo’s Most Menacing Villain of All Time

Part 4 (Diamond Is Unbreakable)

Diamond is Unbreakablehas an absolutely clever structure ; its first physical body nod toward the last adversary , Yoshikage Kira , who provide a soft heartbeat operating from the shadows until around halfway through the part . In the meantime , Diamond is Unbreakable ’s setting is skilfully work up out by Araki as a chief plaster cast of characters is foregather throughJoJo ’s other scoundrel - of - the - week rotations . Yoshikage Kira ’s threat level grows step by step , until he finally lies downcast , masquerade as salaryman Kosaku Kawajiri .

It ’s chilling to ascertain him strike fear into his " son " , Hayato , and furbish up his marriage with his " wife " , Shinobu .

The wayDiamond is Unbreakabledraws attention to Kira is marvelous . Furthermore , when the manhunt begins after he assumes Kosaku ’s personal identity , watching him ingest into Kosaku ’s life-time while assemble unexampled weapons like the reincarnated bozo - plant Stray Cat is transport . It ’s chilling to watch him strike fear into his " son " , Hayato , and repair his union with his " wife " , Shinobu .

Kira ’s desire above all to sidestep capture plays out through a genius succession of strategic outplays and insidious here and now as Hayato and every extremity ofDiamond is Unbreakable ’s core crew band together , through the most hopeless of luck , to finally topple Kira .
