JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, created by Hirohiko Araki, changed its narrative by introducing the iconic Stands, which are visible representations of each character's unique abilities. With shapes and powers that reflect the personality of their users, Stands have become a central element of the story, but do you know who the strongest Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure are?
Although they are not the only form of power in the series' universe, Stands gained prominence from the third part of the series onwards, helping the series' popularity. But after all, which of them are really the strongest? Next, we will rank the 9 most powerful Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Ready?
Notorious BIG
Starting our list of Stands Among the strongest Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, we have Notorious BIG, a Stand that is very different from the others. Unlike most, it remains active even after the end of its user, functioning autonomously.
What makes it so dangerous is precisely this: its ability only fully manifests itself when its bearer dies. From then on, it attacks anything in motion, growing larger and larger as it consumes matter and energy around it. Furthermore, it is practically indestructible, since its power of regeneration makes it practically immortal.
It appears in the story when its original user, a man with a striking appearance and a menacing expression, ends up being defeated, leaving behind an unstoppable Stand that continues to pursue its enemies.
Killer Queen
Another notable name among the strongest Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is Killer Queen, the Stand of the villain Yoshikage Kira, a meticulous man who hides his dark nature under a facade of calm and friendliness. With a sharp mind and a calculating personality, Kira combines his intelligence combined with the lethal power of Killer Queen.
Killer Queen's main ability is to turn any object or person he touches into a bomb ready to explode!
The Stand also has two powerful variations: “Sheer Heart Attack,” a long-range, autonomous bomb that seeks heat, and “Bites The Dust,” which attaches itself to a victim and automatically detonates when someone tries to discover Kira's identity.
Star Platinum
Star Platinum is, without a doubt, one of the strongest Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, iconic especially for being linked to Jotaro Kujo (one of the most memorable protagonists in the series), present in several parts of the franchise. When it comes to raw power, speed and precision, few compare to this Stand.
In addition to delivering extremely fast and nearly unblockable strikes, Star Platinum also has an impressive trump card: the ability to stop time for up to five seconds. This power makes Jotaro a practically unbeatable opponent, capable of turning any battle in his favor in the blink of an eye.
King Crimson/Epitaph
King Crimson is the Stand of the enigmatic Diavolo, former leader of the Passione organization, and one of the strongest Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Obsessed with keeping his identity a total secret, Diavolo does everything he can to eliminate any clues about who he really is.
This Stand has two abilities that make it deadly in combat: Epitaph, which allows the user to predict events that will occur in the next few seconds, and the ability to "erase" time, a power that makes opponent attacks simply not reach their target.
With these abilities combined, King Crimson can end a battle before it even begins.
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheep (D4C)
Funny Valentine is the wielder of the Stand Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and is also the 23rd President of the United States, as well as being the main antagonist of the Steel Ball Run arc. With such an imposing background, it's only natural that his Stand is among the strongest Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
His main ability revolves around mastering parallel dimensions, allowing him to travel between alternate realities. This technique makes him an extremely difficult opponent to defeat, as he can, for example, switch places with another version of himself to escape injury or manipulate different realities to his advantage.
With a power capable of rewriting the rules of existence, Valentine stands out as one of the most complex and threatening characters in the series.
Tusk Act 4
This is one of the rare Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure that manifests in multiple forms, known as "Acts". It belongs to the character Johnny Joestar and evolves throughout the story of Steel Ball Run, following the character's growth.
His ability originates from a supernatural phenomenon called "Spin", and in his first form (Act 1), Johnny can launch his nails as if they were projectiles at very high speed, powerful enough to break rocks and other solid structures.
As the Stand evolves, its capabilities also expand and it becomes one of the strongest Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!
He gains the power to create wormhole-like spatial tunnels, and it is in Act 4 that he reaches his peak. In this final form, Johnny accesses the so-called "Golden Spin", a source of infinite rotational energy, which not only surpasses the limit of stopped time but also ignores dimensional barriers.
Made In Heaven
Enrico Pucci is the main villain of the “Stone Ocean” arc and one of Dio Brando’s most devoted followers. Pucci is a religious fanatic who sees Dio as a deity and will do anything to achieve his ideals, even reshaping the universe!
His Stand, Made in Heaven, is a terrifying manifestation of this goal and is easily among the strongest Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Made in Heaven grants Pucci control over gravity and the ability to move at superhuman speeds. Additionally, he can accelerate the flow of time, affecting everything around him except living beings.
One of his most impressive feats is being able to neutralize Star Platinum, even with its ability to stop time, making Pucci one of the most formidable opponents in the series.
Gold Experience Requiem
Gold Experience Requiem is the ultimate form of Giorno Giovanna's Stand (protagonist of Vento Aureo and a descendant of Dio Brando) and holds the position of one of the strongest Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
In this enhanced version of the Stand, it retains the ability to infuse life into anything it touches, but with much greater strength: it can regenerate organs, recreate inorganic objects as living beings, and even remodel inert matter into animated creatures!
Its greatest asset, however, is its “divine” effect: Gold Experience Requiem nullifies any attack by reverting hostile actions to a “zero unreality” state, forcing opponents to endlessly relive their own ends. This endless cycle of ending and rebirth practically renders any offensive useless.
The World
Dio Brando, the greatest villain in the entire series, couldn't be left out of this list (and neither could his Stand, The World). He's among the strongest Stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!
Famous for its dramatic poses, The World perfectly reflects the cruel, selfish, and narcissistic nature of its user, Dio, giving him an almost insurmountable advantage in combat. This Stand was the first to reveal the power to stop time, maintaining this stop for up to nine seconds (a time that could increase as it grew stronger).
In the entire JoJo's universe, time control is among the most devastating and difficult abilities to master, making The World a true nightmare for any opponent who crosses Dio's path.
Conclusion
