JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: The JOJOLands Previews First Official Merch (And It Stands Tall)

by

As a die-hard fan of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure who has followed this manga since its humble beginnings, I am thrilled to see the latest addition to the Joestar family, Jodio and Dragona, getting their own figure! The JOJOLands have been an exciting new chapter in the JoJo saga, with its unique blend of humor, action, and mystery that has kept me hooked since its release.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but marvel at the enduring appeal of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. It’s not just because creator Hirohiko Araki is deeply committed to unraveling the tales of the Joestars until the very end. A significant part of its longevity lies in the manga’s ability to weave fresh narratives around members of the Joestar lineage across generations. This pattern holds true with Araki’s latest creation, The JOJOLands, which centers on the newest Joestars, Jodio and Dragona. Already, twenty chapters of this captivating manga series have graced our screens, and a sneak peek at the first figurine featuring the wielder of “November Rain” has been unveiled for collectors eager to incorporate this character into their personal collections.

For individuals seeking a revisit or newcomers intrigued by Araki’s recent manga, the narrative revolves around the Joestar siblings striving for financial stability. Equipped with their Stands named November Rain and Smooth Operators, characters Jodio and Dragona embark on a journey to seize a valuable diamond and unravel the enigma of the “Lava Rock,” a crucial element in this season’s plot. Although it may take some time before this story arc reaches animation, it promises to be a significant milestone when Jodio and Dragona’s quest is brought to life on screen.

The Joestars In The Anime World

As a devoted JoJo fan, I can’t forget the time I spent immersed in the Stone Ocean saga on our screens, courtesy of David Productions. Now, with Steel Ball Run rumors swirling as a Netflix exclusive, the anticipation has been building for years. Though there’s no official word yet about when Johnny Joestar will charge across North America in this epic horse race, I can tell you one thing – it’ll be an unforgettable anime experience once it’s finally announced!

For fans eagerly anticipating an anime adaptation of The JOJOLands, patience may be required as not just Steel Ball Run requires adaption, but there’s another story waiting in the wings that needs to be animated first. JoJolion unfolds in a fresh universe, reminiscent of Steel Ball Run, and centers around a new perspective on the peaceful town of Morioh, introducing a different version of Josuke Higashikata. Once these two storylines are realized, there might be an opportunity for Jodio and Dragona to make their appearance.
