Bread and butter, salt and pepper, Jojo and poses. Some things just go together. From its very first chapters back in the late 80s, the iconic characters in Hirohiko Araki's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Jojo's Bizarre Adventure have been posing.

Aside from the drama of it all, part of what makes these poses so memorable is that they aren't all entirely or༺iginal. Some of the best Jojo poses are directly related to high-fashion photo shoots, artwork, or just pop culture, showing Araki's love for both. But from all throughout Jojo's extensive history, which are the best?

1 🃏 ไ Jonathan - Phantom Blood

Jump Comics Volume 4 Cover - June 1988

While it's often overlooked in favouꦺr of the more popular parts that would go on to follow it, Phantom Blood paved the way for the rest of Jojo, establishing plenty of iconic elements tha⛦t are still seen in the series today. One of the most obvious is the poses.

Jonathan has perhaps some of the most iconic poses out of all the Joestars, but the most recognizable is likely his looking-through-the-hand pose. Forever associated with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the most chivalrous Joestar (little competition there to be honest), Araki based the pose on artwork from Teri Toye's 1ꦦ963 piece, Body Conscious.

2 🥃 𝓡 Joseph And Caesar - Battle Tendency

Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 20 - April 1988

After Part 2, the following parts of Jojo would become more 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:well-known for their ensemble casts, but the first two parts, more so the second, focused o𒁏n duos (more commonly🉐 now known as Jo-Bros). The best pair is always up for debate, but an overall popular choice is Joseph and Caesar.

Araki clearly loved the pose inspired by Mike Mor🐲ino & Terry Riley by Antonio Lopez. He's used it in Part 1 before and Part 5 since, but its most iconic use is in Battle Tendency with Joseph and Caesar. The pose perfectly captures the initial rivalry between the pair, tra♋nsforming into a close, but still clashing, friendship.

3 D📖IO - Stardust Crusaders

Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 19 - April 1989

While most of the more recognizable Jojo poses feature the Jojos themselves, it would be remiss not to mention the series' most iconic antagonist, DIO. While the villainous vampire was fantastic in Phantom Blood, he's truly on top꧋ form in Stardust Crusa💜ders, where every appearance of his oozes charisma.

His back-facing pose is one of the best thanks to the prominence of the Joestar birthmark on his shoulder, and it works even better thanks to Araki's reference. Nina Ricci Haute Couture by Tony Viramonte𝔉s captures a completely different energy compared to DIO, but the balance of elegance and power is a perf꧋ect fit for him.

4 Josuke - Diamond Is Unb🌼reakable 🌊

Jump Comics Volume 42 Cover Page - May 1995

Perhaps the most fashionable Jojo (at least in-universe) is Josuke Higashikata. It's a shame that for most of Diamond ꦯIs Unbreakable that he's stuck in his school uniform, especially with how often ℱwe hear his dreams of owning luxury fashion.

Even though༺ his signature hand-on-hip pose is perhaps w♕hat's most associated with him, the striking red cover spread is what best represents his personality. It's fitting for a character so obsessed with fashion to have a pose reference ripped straight from Gianni Versace's Fall/Winter shoot from 1984.

5 ෴ Giorno And Gold Experience - Vento Aureo

Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 18 - April 1996

Even though stands as a concept had been around since Stardust Crusaders, Araki truly mastered the art of stand users and their stands posing together with Giorno in Vento Aureo. There are plenty of con🐼tenders for the best pose Giorno and his stand Gold Experience share, but the top pick has to be from I🐈ssue 18, 1996.

With Gold Experience hanging from Giorno's shoulders as they both stan⛎d in the sea, the artwork actually quite directly references a Vogue UK swimwear shoot. Mario Testino's photo was published in March of '96, so Araki must have been keeping an eye on the fashion magazine to reference the photo just a month later.

6 ꦡ Jolyne, Ermes, Anasui, Wea♍ther Report, And Emporio - Stone Ocean

Jump Comics Stone Ocean Volume 12 Cover Page - July 2002

Throughout the length of Stone Ocean, Jolyne has been the star of some of the best Jojo poses, but where Araki's art 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:really shines in Part 6 is wit🍰h the group shots. One of the best features Jolyne, Ermes, Weather Report, Anasui, and Emporio and was used as a double-page spread cover page in July 2002.

The pose of the core cast of Part 6, intertwined and lying together, is directly inspired by a 1997 shoot from the June issue of Vogue Italia by S♋teven Meisel. While Araki's artwork doesn't copy one shot in particular, the different positions of each character are inspired by different poses from ea🤪ch of the pictures in the shoot.

7 Johnny And Gyro - Steel Ball Run 🍷 🃏

Ultra Jump Issue 8 Cover Page - July 2005

While Joseph and Caesar are probably the most popular Jojo and Jo-Bro pairing at the moment, Johnny and Gyro will likely be gunning for the position once Steel Ball Run is (finally) animated. You might think that being paralyzed from t🎐he waist down might hinder Johnny's ability to pose, but Araki consistently proves this misconception wrong all throughout Part 7.

The pair's most iconic shared pose shows Gyro lifting Johnny as Johnny points outwards. The pose is almost a direct reference to a similar pose shown in the Gianni Versace Fall/Winter 1993 shoot, photographed by Richꦬard Avedon.

8 𓄧 Josuke - JoJolion

Ultra Jump Issue 9 Title Page - August 2021

It could be easy to assume that, throughout the decades, Jojo has been ongoing, that Araki's artistic style might grow less inspired. Ins🌳tead, the mangaka has been constantly growing, and that's easy to witness throughout JoJolion's decade-long run.

With Araki having a less-tight schedule to comply with, he had more time to spend on title and chapter covers, and that can be seen with the beautiful attention to detail on the 2021 Ultra Jump cover shot of Josuke. The pose references a similarly styled shot from a Vogue Italia shoot from 2007 titled Patterns, and there's even a matchᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚing posꦏe of Yasuho using the same collection.
