【Jojo Part 6】
Reviewing all JOJO from part 1!
What is the relationship between Jojo Part 6: Stone Ocean and each part?

Must know! - What is Jojo no Kimyou na Bouken (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)?

Jojo no Kimyou na Bouken (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) is written and illustrated by a manga artist, Araki Hirohiko-Sensei and is extraordinary abilities x battle manga! The series started since 1986 and the part 8 has just completed. The author of this long manga series has just started working on part 9 for serialization!
Here are some frequently asked questions about Jojo. Are all parts are connected? Do I have to read all parts? I have heard this kind of questions often.
To begin from the conclusion, from Part 1 to 6, since the main characters are all blood-related, the stories are slightly connected each other.
However, part 7 and 8 do not have direct relationships, but there is an indirect, fateful relationship. (if you know it, you will find it more interesting!)
Anyways, let me explain outlines of part 1-5 as simply as possible! Because Part 1-5 have some relationships with Part 6 which will start airing in 2022!

Okay, Which parts should I read before I watch Jojo Part 6: Stone Ocean?

The answer is...... At least, you should read Jojo Part 3: Stardust Crusaders.
The reason why you should read Jojo Part 3 is because the extraordinary ability, Stand, that appeared in Jojo Part 3 is described in Part 6 again. Also, the main character of Part 6, Kujo Jolyne, is the daughter of Kujou Joutarou who is the main character of Part 3......!!

Outline of Jojo Part 6: Stone Ocean

The story takes place in 2011.
The daughter of Kujou Joutarou, Kujo Jolyne, was imprisoned due to a false accusation. One day, Jolyne received a bizarre thing sent by her father who disappeared due to her parents’ divorce.
There is something wrong with this prison.
Jolyne realized her special ability, Stand. She decided to escape from the prison where a conspiracy seemed to be growing!
Jojo Part 6: Stone Ocean concludes the story that has been developed in Parts 1 through 5 very nicely. It has a great ending! So, if you want to try JOJO this time, or look forward to watching Part 6, we strongly suggest to watch Part 1-5 to prepare for Part 6!
That's all for today! I'll see you in the next article!!
Have a good day!
