JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Author Revealed Most Powerful Stands

During the unveiling of the new “The Fountain Boy” artwork that will be displayed at JR Osaka Station, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure manga author Hirohiko Araki revealed which Stands are the most powerful in a new piece of art. The artwork is inspired by a statue by the same name that used to be on display at the station. [Thanks, Oricon!]

Sitting at the top as the most powerful Stand is Jodio Joestar’s November Rain, the Stand of the protagonist of the current arc, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: The JOJOLands. Completing the top three and in no decisive order are Part 3 Stardust Crusaders protagonist Jotaro Kujo’s Star Platinum: The World and Killer Queen, the Stand of Part 4 Diamond is Unbreakable main villain Kira Yoshikage.

The final four, also in no particular order, are Stone Free, owned by Jotaro’s daughter Jolyne Cujoh as seen in Part 6 Stone Ocean, Gold Experience used by Dio Brando’s son Giorno Giovanna in Part 5 Golden Wind, and the last two are D4C (Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap) and Tusk, the stands of Part 7 Steel Ball Run main villain Funny Valentine and protagonist Johnny Joestar, respectively.

Aside from the motifs of the JoJo Stands, the artwork focuses on the aforementioned Fountain Boy, as designed by Hirohiko Araki in his distinct art style. You can check out the artwork here:
