Hirohiko Araki, the legendary creator behind JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, has released a stunning new illustration that brings together all nine “JoJo” protagonists from the franchise’s long and eccentric history. The artwork celebrates the 2025 launch of The JoJo World, an immersive event and pop-up store designed to honor the iconic manga series. For longtime fans, seeing the entire Joestar bloodline assembled in Araki’s signature style feels like a love letter to nearly four decades of bizarre adventures.

From the noble Jonathan Joestar to the newest face, Jodio Joestar, each character shines with Araki’s ever-evolving aesthetic, according to Anime Corner. The lineup also includes Joseph, Jotaro, Josuke (both of them), Giorno, Jolyne, and Johnny, each a central figure in their own wildly different story arc. This is the first time Araki has depicted all nine JoJos in a single illustration, making the art not just celebratory, but also historic.

Araki’s Art Captures Decades of Bizarre History

The new art serves as more than just a promotional visual, it is a snapshot of the evolution of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Fans can trace Araki’s artistic growth through each JoJo’s appearance, from the muscular proportions of early characters like Jonathan and Joseph to the stylized, fashion-forward look of later heroes like Giorno and Jolyne. Even Jodio, the protagonist of the currently ongoing The JOJOLands, is included, cementing his place in the lineage.

For longtime readers, seeing these protagonists together reinforces the emotional and thematic thread that has always connected the series, which is legacy. Each JoJo carries the weight of those who came before them, often battling supernatural threats tied to the family’s cursed destiny. Now, that legacy is captured in one vibrant image, unifying generations under a single, bizarre banner.

The JoJo World is an Experience Fans Won’t Want to Miss

An Immersive Celebration of Joestar History

Opening July 24, 2025, in Tokyo’s Shibuya PARCO, The JoJo World promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans. The pop-up event will allow visitors to literally step into the JoJo universe, starting with a symbolic “Stand Arrow” activation at the entrance. From there, guests can explore mini-games, photo spots, interactive displays, and a themed café menu inspired by the series’ rich cast of characters.

The attraction is filled with references to the franchise’s quirks, from flashy stand battles to the now-iconic phrase, “Stand s are drawn to one another.” That theme will carry through both the event’s merchandise and its design philosophy, aiming to spark those “bizarre encounters” the series is known for. With a visual tribute from Araki himself and a fully immersive event on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for JoJo's BIzarre Adventure fans worldwide.
