The Villains of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Get A Cartoon Makeover

In most fiction, a hero is only as good as their villain and boy oh boy does JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure have some fantastic villains. With the legendary vampire Dio Brando leading the pack among the likes of Diavolo, Cars, and Kira to name a few, the antagonists of the various arcs of the strange franchise have certainly made names for themselves in the hearts and minds of fans the world over. Now, one fan has decided to give each of these villainous a cartoon-ish makeover that presents each JoJo character in a brand new, stylized light.

Twitter Artist Neon_UFO shared these amazing re-designs that take the villains from Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency, Stardust Crusaders, Diamond Is Unbreakable, Golden Wind, and even the upcoming Stone Ocean to brand new heights with makeovers that transport them into a brand new world:

While Dio led the pack of villains and is usually thought of as the greatest villain of the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure franchise, the other antagonists each have their own unique quirks and powers that made them the perfect foils for their respective storylines. Diavolo worked as a fantastic mirror to Giorno Giovanna, so to did Kira’s presence affect both Josuke and the sleepy town of Morioh, and Cars was simply fantastic in his battle against Joseph Joestar.

The next villain, who we have yet to be introduced to in the anime proper, who is still featured here, is Enrico Pucci. Without giving away too many spoilers, the corrupt pastor wields a powerful Stand known as Whitesnake and is attempting to enact a plan of revenge against the Joestar bloodline, with Jolyne Cujoh squarely set in his sights. Hopefully, we see Pucci appear in the anime sooner rather than later as we cross our fingers for the announcement of season six.
