JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Cosplay Pays Tribute to the Original JoJo

Among the numerous Stands that populate the roster of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, sometimes fans of the franchise can forget where it all began. Jonathan Joestar was the very first member of the Joestar line that we managed to get to know in the franchise, beginning the war between his bloodline and the evil that was Dio Brando. Though he didn't have a Stand of his own, Jonathan instead employed the power of the Ripple, which was a solar based attack perfect for eradicating vampires. Now, one fan has managed to perfectly recreate the first member of the Joestar line through some amazing cosplay!

Instagram User SeanPriceCosplay managed to put together an amazing costume that takes the anime character of Jonathan Joestar and surround him in the Ripple energy that has become the trademark of his attacks against Dio Brando and his legion of vampires:

As fans of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure may know, Jonathan befell quite the horrific end. Suffering from fatal wounds during his final fight with Dio, his body was then taken over by Dio's head, which allowed the vampire to return to threaten the Joestar line again during the third season of the franchise, Stardust Crusaders.
