In an anime world populated by Stands, Star Platinum has been able to set itself apart in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, thanks to the role that Jotaro Kujo has played. With Kujo first being introduced in Stardust Crusaders, he has returned following his starring role and has attempted to save his daughter’s life in the latest season, Stone Ocean. Now, one fan has perfectly brought Star Platinum to life thanks to spot-on cosplay that takes us back to the earlier days of the hard-hitting Stand.

Since Stardust Crusaders ended and Jotaro was able to eliminate Dio’s evil from the world, Jotaro has remained a part of the anime adaptation, acting as a supporting character to Josuke in Diamond Is Unbreakable and having a cameo in Golden Wind. In the latest anime season, Stone Ocean, Jotaro is once again playing a major role while his daughter, Jolyne, is attempting to save his life thanks to the machinations of the prison’s priest, Pucci. While Dio Brando hasn’t been able to return from the grave in this latest season, his legacy lives on as Pucci and his Stand, Whitesnake, are attempting to get to “heaven” and get revenge against the Joestars at the same time thanks to the priest’s friendship with the creature of the night.

Instagram Cosplayer Shiniki Shoy took the chance to share this life-like take on Star Platinum, with Jotaro’s Stand changing in its looks throughout the franchise thanks to Hirohiko Araki’s art style, as we’ve seen in the latest anime season on Netflix as the aesthetic has changed once again for the Stone Ocean:
Star Platinum has been absent for most of this latest anime season, being stolen from Jotaro Kujo as a result of Whitesnake’s wild Stand abilities. Pucci has the power to swipe not only Stands from others but can also steal memories as well, with both the Stand and the memories being transformed into compact discs. With Jolyne looking to leave Green Dolphin Street Prison to pursue Pucci, the final episodes hitting this winter are sure to end things with a bang.
