JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Brings in Legendary Anime Figures

By Evan Valentine

The Joestars have been heading up JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's anime adaptation for over a decade at this point but we have yet to see them cross over with other characters from the anime medium, until now that is. Thanks in part to a new Stand wielder introduced during the final Stone Ocean episodes, a handful of beloved anime characters have made their way into the Joestars' universe and the figures that appear might throw some viewers for a loop.      

While Weather Report and Anasi were able to find a ride in an effort to catch up with the Stone Ocean's heroines, they ran into quite the snag when it came to a Stand known as "Bohemian Rhapsody" who in the English version was dubbed "Bohemian Ecstatic". The Stand's ability could bring to life fictional characters and by playing out each character's story, placed the two male heroes in mortal danger. While Anasi and Weather Report found themselves fighting against characters both real and fictional, including the likes of Pinnochio, Snow White, The Seven Dwarves, Van Gogh, and a group of terrifying goats, the anime characters featured only made a brief appearance.

Thanks to the power of Bohemian Rhapsody, several famous anime characters such as Gigantor and Astro Boy were shown flying in the sky, with a group of children later on in the series seeing Batman in a hilarious scene before the Stand was eventually taken down thanks to some quick thinking by Weather Report:

The Stand user of Bohemian Rhapsody might have appeared to be a simple criminal that was given his power thanks to Pucci, but his background harkens back to one of the biggest villains of the series. This Stand wielder, along with several others, appears in the Stone Ocean as a part of the "Sons of Dio", the half-brothers of Giorno Giovanna who might not be vampires themselves, but have clearly followed in their father's footsteps when it comes to fighting the Joestars.
