One Family’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Roots Is Going Viral Online

If nothing else, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is about family. More specifically, it’s about the generations of a family that happen to be united in their strange campaigns against evil. The Joestar family, and in a way the Dio Brando family, have become one of the most well known genealogy of anime protagonists that are featured in a major franchise. Besides their unique fashion styles and powerful Stands, the series gives its characters poses that are some of the most recognizable parts of the franchise and now, a real life family is getting into the action.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure began in 1987, with the franchise creator of Hirohiko Araki bringing this amazing series to both the mediums of manga and anime, with the series seeing some serious popularity in recent years. With the fifth season, Golden Wind, having come to an end, fans are left waiting for when the sixth season, Stone Ocean, will be making its anime debut. The series will continue the tradition of the Joestar family by following the story of Jolyne Cujoh, the daughter of Stardust Crusaders‘ Jotaro, and give audiences the opportunity to see this unique father and daughter pair interact.
