JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Video Imagines an 80s Diamond Is Unbreakable

By Evan Valentine

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is unique in that each arc of its story will typically flip the script when it comes to its protagonist, with the seasons of the anime adaptation focusing on a new member of the Joestars each time. With Netflix recently bringing Stone Ocean to a close, creating a very different universe for the Joestars in the process, one fan animator has taken us back to the days of Diamond Is Unbreakable to imagine what Josuke and company might have looked like in the 1980s.                 

The story of Diamond Is Unbreakable focused on Josuke Higashikata, a high-schooler who finds himself dragged into the family business thanks to his status as the forgotten son of Joseph Joestar. Wielding a Stand known as Crazy Diamond, Josuke had the ability through his partner to reverse time, which came in handy throughout the season and had some wild effects on the Stand battles taking place in the sleepy town known as Morioh. Unlike Jotaro Kujo, who has appeared in multiple seasons of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Josuke only appeared in Diamond Is Unbreakable, though a new spin-off manga has been releasing new chapters that see the Joestar teaming up with the villain known as Hol Horse.

1980s Unbreakable

Twitter User Noodle Dori1 shared this hilarious re-imagining of the cast of characters that appeared in Diamond Is Unbreakable, with the series following Dio Brando's death but introducing a terrifying new antagonist known as Yoshikage Kira:

While the future of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's anime adaptation has yet to confirm a new season is on the way, the manga's creator, Hirohiko Araki, is working on a new entry that is titled JoJo Lands. While details regarding a lot of the story elements that surround Part Nine have yet to be revealed, Araki recently shed some light on the upcoming protagonist, confirming that the upcoming protagonist would be a descendant of Joseph Joestar. This Joseph however is far different from the one anime fans saw in Diamond Is Unbreakable, first appearing in the alternate reality that is a part of JoJolion.

What do you think of this flashy re-imagining of Josuke and his fellow Stand users? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of the Joestars.
