Over the years, Hirohiko Araki has improved his artwork drastically. After writing and drawing JoJo'sBizarreAdventure for so many decades, Araki's skills have become more refined. The changes are reflected in his work, making it easier for the fans to see.
Ever since the introduction of Stands, Araki has used his creativity to produce some magnificent Stands. While most fans look at the abilities that a Stand provides, there are others who prefer seeing a well-designed Stand. Due to the multitude of Stands present in JoJo'sBizarreAdventure, it is not easy to choose, so this list takes a look at the best Stand designs in JoJo.
Updated October 3, 2022, by Suzail Ahmad:JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is known for having some incredibly impressive Stands that provide their users with unfathomable power. While these Stands are powerful, they make fights rather bland as it doesn't take them a long time to beat their opponents. Thankfully, Araki has developed some peculiar Stands that have distinctive layouts. Unlike the overpowered Stands, they require a lot more planning and effort to beat an opponent.
In addition to their powers, the quirky designs of these Stands even cover the shortcomings of their users. Needless to say, Araki put in a lot of effort to create such stands, which is why they are so spectacular. So, here are some of the best JoJo Stands that have remarkable designs.
18 Sugar Mountain
Sugar Mountain is a rather odd Stand as it belongs to a tree instead of a human or an animal. The Stand is activated once a person finds the current guardian of the tree, after which the person is put through several difficult ordeals. If a person fails, then they are forced to become the next guardian of the tree. All the people who fail the trials are absorbed by the tree and they await their turn to become the next guardian. The faces of those who have failed the tests can be seen on the tree.
There are two trials that every person must go through. The first is a test of honesty, and the second is focused on spending the rewards gained from passing the first one. What makes Sugar Mountain even more special is the fact that it does not have a movable body, and it requires people to approach it in order to use its powers.
17 Metallica
Metallica is a unique colony Stand that was wielded by Risotto Nero of the Assassination Squad. The Stand allows its user to manipulate the iron in the air. Risotto could use this ability to sprout iron objects from the body of his victims and kill them instantly. This would also cause a severe loss of hemoglobin and eventually death.
The Stand does not have a humanoid shape; instead, its shape resembles the cells of a human body. Due to the Stand not having a large body, it is difficult to hurt the Stand directly.
16 Milagro Man
Milagro Man is a Stand from JoJolion, and it has many legends associated with it. The curse of the Stand is so popular that all the people living in Morioh know of its existence. The Stand has a simple yet very devastating ability to duplicate money. Normally, this would be an amazing power to have, but any person under the influence of the Stand will continue to earn money until they are crushed by it.
There are only two known counters to this ability: returning the money to its previous owner or having the money destroyed by another person. The Stand's design is distinctive as it has no face and has holes on its face, palms, arms, and legs.
15 Vitamin C
Vitamin C is the Stand of Tamaki Dama, who wanted to use its power against the Higashikata Family. The Stand does not have a great deal of physical strength, but its special ability makes it an extremely lethal Stand.
Vitamin C can liquefy the solid states of living organisms, which renders them completely useless. After an organism is turned into a liquid state, the user can torture and kill the target at their leisure.
14 Echoes
Echoes is the Stand of Hirose Koichi. Echoes is different from most of the other Stands due to its special ability to change forms. Originally, the Stand took the appearance of an egg with no special ability.
With time, however, Koichi's fighting spirit began to improve, and Echoes changed forms. It evolved three times, with each form having different abilities. Echoes Act 3 resembles a humanoid, and it has a distinct personality as seen during Koichi's fight against Kira Yoshikage.
13 Soft and Wet
Soft and Wet is a beautiful Stand whose design matches the style of its user, Josuke Higashikata from Part 8. Soft and Wet's torso is covered by a mark that resembles an anchor.
It is clear that Araki wanted Soft and Wet's design to match Josuke's sailor attire. Soft and Wet is a powerful close-range Stand that can easily overwhelm other Stands in combat. It has the unique ability to create bubbles. During his fight with Wonder of U, Josuke's Soft and Wet was able to break the chain of logic and overcome calamity itself.
12 Bohemian Rhapsody
Bohemian Rhapsody is among the handful of Stands that are not restricted by range. The Stand belongs to Ungalo, who was one of DIO's illegitimate sons. When activated, the Stand was able to affect the entire world. The Stand affects every individual who has any knowledge about fictional characters or art.
The Stand has no appearance, which makes it unique. It only manifests itself as a phenomenon, so there is no way of directly attacking it. To defeat Bohemian Rhapsody, a person needs to create a fictional character who can destroy others and effectively cancel out the Stand's power.
11 Paisley Park
Paisley Park has a case for being the most useful Stand in the entire series. While the Stand is not great physically, it is highly autonomous and has an independent personality.
Throughout the entirety of Part 8, Paisley Park manifested itself to save Yasuho and her friends. The Stand helps others to find their destination or target easily, and it was because of Paisley Park that Josuke was able to defeat Toru.
10 Heaven's Door
Heaven's Door is the Stand of Kishibe Rohan, who is a famous mangaka. The Stand's design is unique. The Stand has the form of a young boy who resembles a character from Rohan's own manga. Rohan's Stand is very powerful as it can turn people into books, which grants Rohan complete access to their history.
The Stand also allows Rohan to erase memories and add specific instructions. Araki modeled Rohan after himself, and he would like to have Heaven's Door as his Stand.
9 Killer Queen
Killer Queen belongs to Kira Yoshikage, the main villain of DiamondofUnbreakable. It is a powerful close-range Stand that has several abilities. The Stand has three different types of bombs: close-range, long-range, and automatic.
These three abilities make Killer Queen very powerful, and in addition to these abilities, the Stand also features a sassy design. It has cat ears along with leather-like gloves, which make it extremely pleasing to look at.
8 D4C
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap or D4C is the Stand of Funny Valentine. Funny Valentine uses his Stand to stop Johnny and Gyro from getting their hands on the Saint's Corpse. D4C is armed with the dangerous ability that allows its user to go through different dimensions.
This ability makes the Stand user almost immortal. The Stand's colored version is incredibly appealing to the eye, and it also has big ears, which make it more endearing.
7 Sticky Fingers
Sticky Fingers is arguably one of the most underrated Stands in the series. The Stand has the ability to create a zipper on any surface, and while it may sound like an underwhelming ability, it can cause an opponent a lot of trouble.
Bruno Bucciarati was to detach his limbs without any problems. This increased the range of his attacks, and additionally, it also allowed Bruno to avoid attacks that would normally be impossible to dodge.
6 Catch The Rainbow
Unlike most Stands, Catch The Rainbow does not appear as a humanoid Stand, instead, the Stand appears as a mask that is worn by Blackmore. Catch the Rainbow allows its user to manipulate rain in a variety of different ways.
Blackmore can become intangible, which allows him to avoid any serious attacks. The droplets can become solid, and they can deflect bullets.
5 Moody Blues
Moody Blues is the Stand of Leone Abbacchio. The Stand is able to replay events of the past, and it can recreate them with the utmost precision.
The Stand is particularly useful while trying to find clues. However, there are limits to what the Stand is able to recreate. Moody Blues has a timer on its head, which shows the time that it is reenacting. It can even speed up or rewind the things that it is recreating.
4 Purple Haze
The Stand belongs to Pannacotta Fugo. It is an extremely lethal Stand that possesses a dangerous flesh-eating virus. This virus can demolish a living organism within seconds, so Fugo rarely used the Stand because it could potentially harm his allies as well.
True to its maniacal appearance, Purple Haze is known for violent outbursts, and it only adds to the Stand's deadly nature.
3 Whitesnake
Whitesnake is the Stand of Enrico Pucci. The Stand is sentient and is capable of moving on its own. Despite being a long-range Stand, Whitesnake is capable of performing really accurate attacks.
The Stand's ability to manipulate others makes it very dangerous. The Stand can also create illusions that leave the opponent defenseless and thus allows the Stand to steal the discs without any problems.
2 Diver Down
Diver Down belongs to Anasui, and it is one of the strongest Stands in StoneOcean. It is able to store an attack on any surface, and then it can release the momentum whenever it wants to.
Parts of the Stand can also be used to make up for lost limbs, which makes it a very versatile Stand. Diver Down can also enter solid objects, including humans, and completely restructure their insides.
1 Tusk
Tusk is the Stand of Johnny Joestar, who is the main protagonist of SteelBallRun. It is among the few Stands that have several forms. Tusk's strongest form is its fourth and final one, where it takes the form of a giant humanoid Stand that is capable of pummeling a strong Stand such as D4C quite easily.
The growth of Tusk is a reflection of Johnny's growth as a person. From lacking self-confidence to having nerves of steel, Johnny's growth as a person was simply outstanding. Towards the end of the series, Johnny was the strongest character in SteelBallRun, and Tusk Act IV was the strongest Stand.
