JoJo’s Bizarre Adventureis one of the most amazing series and its third season,Diamond is Unbreakable, takes a more grounded, slice-of-life approach.
Although it introduces a lot of major characters in the JoJo universe, some have gained disproportionate popularity in the story without even fully developing their true potential.
The story explores the complexities of invisibility, acted out by the invisible baby Stand user, known as Achtung Baby.
