Strongest Stands In The Series

Key Takeaways

• Stands in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure vary in power, with some being incredibly dangerous.
• Some of the strongest Stands have abilities like stopping time and manipulating calamities.
• Stand combat relies heavily on each Stand’s unique abilities.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is an epic shonen/seinen series written by Hirohiko Araki. The series is divided into several parts, and each part focuses on a different protagonist and antagonist. Currently, Araki is writing part 7, or JoJolion. Though the manga isn’t finished, plenty of fans still love the series for what it currently offers.

Like many popular anime, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has its own power system. For the first two parts, Hamon was the preferred power, but Araki later changed it to what are known as Stands. Each Stand is unique, and has a distinct ability that separates them from the others. However, not all are created equal — some Stands are more powerful than others.

Updated on November 24, 2024, by Suzail Ahmad: Whenever a new JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure part starts serializing, fans become eager to see what kind of Stands will be featured. While Araki always ensures that each Stand is unique, he cannot make all of them powerful.

The best Stands in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure are armed with incredible abilities, which include stopping time, erasing time, seeing the future, etc. Additionally, some Stands have a great deal of physical strength, allowing them to pummel their opponents with ease. The combination of these abilities makes them a nuisance to fight against. The list has been updated to include other worthy candidates who are among the strongest Stands in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.

This list compares only the strength of the Stands. The user’s aptness is not taken into consideration.

35 Survivor

• Exacerbates anger within individuals

Labeled the weakest Stand in the world by DIO, Survivor is actually dangerous. It is a small Stand that seeks out the targets and increases their aggressiveness. In order to function properly, Survivor requires water. Those under the influence of Survivor find themselves full of rage and adrenaline. As a result, the fights between the victims are full of gore and bloodshed.

Survivor also increases the fighting prowess of an individual by removing their sensation of pain. Additionally, those affected by its power can see the strong and weak points of their enemies. The only drawback of this Stand is that it cannot directly hurt a person or a Stand.

34 Limp Bizkit

• Power to make invisible zombies

Limp Bizkit was given to Sports Maxx by Pucci. Limp Bizkit has the power to turn dead objects into zombies. Once reanimated, the creatures become aggressive due to their longing for human blood. They attack anything in their vicinity. The undead zombies have enhanced physical traits, which make them a massive threat, especially when they operate in groups.

Furthermore, the zombies are invisible, making it extremely difficult to keep track of their actions. If the user reanimates creatures like crocodiles, lions, etc., escaping without injuries is next to impossible. The Stand user can also partially reanimate things such as bones, which they can track down.

33 Scary Monsters

• Can create an army of dinosaurs

Scary Monsters is a lethal Stand that has the power to turn living beings into dinosaurs. Once an organism is transformed into a dinosaur, it can spread the infection to others by scratching or biting them. So, using this ability in a crowded area will maximize the output.

The dinosaur transformation seems to be random, as the Stand users were able to create Velociraptors, T-Rexs, and various smaller dinosaurs. When Diego was in possession of the Stand, he could morph into a dinosaur and attack other Stand users.

32 Soft Machine

• Can deflate an individual

Mario Zucchero’s Soft Machine is a close-range Stand. Soft Machine is an excellent option for surprise attacks as its ability can be triggered with a single hit. Once Soft Machine’s rapier makes contact with his foe, they will immediately begin to deflate like a balloon.

After a person is affected by the ability, they become completely defenseless. Mario Zucchero can use this to his advantage and easily dispose of them. Another thing worth noting is that the user can use the Soft Machine on himself.

31 Planet Waves

Planet Waves is an overwhelmingly powerful Stand that can bring down meteors towards the user. While falling, the rocks can reach a temperature of 3,000 °C. So, anyone who is hit by them will be in deep trouble. In case the meteor misses the target, it will be eradicated before it reaches the user.

However, Planet Waves is not completely unbeatable. Jolyne demonstrated that it is possible to get the better of the Stand with some planning.

30 Man In The Mirror

• It can drag a person into the mirror world

Man in the Mirror is a Stand belonging to Illuso, a member of the Assassination Squad. From a physical point of view, Man in the Mirror is an extremely weak Stand, but its actual power lies in its ability to drag people and Stands into the mirror dimension.

Illuso can drag a person inside the mirror world, leaving them completely defenseless. If he decides to attack a Stand user, it is completely up to him whether to allow the Stand to enter it or not. With this power, he can prevent his adversaries from using their Stands in the mirror world. This means that Man in the Mirror is the only Stand in the mirror world, making it nearly invincible in combat.

29 Kiss

• Can create copies of objects
• Power is not affected by range

Kiss is a close-range Stand that belongs to Ermes Costello from Stone Ocean. Ermes was not born with the Stand; instead, she awakened it while in prison. Kiss does not function that well when an opponent is far away, but its ability more than makes up for it. Kiss’s special power allows it to create stickers. Once they are placed on an object, a copy of the same item is created.

If the original goes far away from the copy, the Stand’s power does not deactivate. Ermes can peel off the sticker from the copy, which causes the two to come close together at a high pace. This damages the original object. Ermes can use this ability to lay traps for unsuspecting opponents. She can also rely on Kiss to fight other close-range Stands.

28 Beach Boy

• Nearly impossible to beat
• Any damage to the string is reflected

Beach Boy may not be the flashiest Stand in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, but it is definitely one of the strongest. The Stand is suited for both long and short-distance fights. Pesci would throw the hook of the Stand, which could pass through the walls.

Once the hook successfully ensnared a person, Pesci could reel them in towards him. If a person tried to cut the string, the damage would be transferred to them. This made it impossible to escape from the grip of the Stand. If Pesci had more talent or a better understanding of his Stand, then he would have easily managed to kill members of Bucciarati’s gang.

27 Red Hot Chili Pepper

• Power depends on sources
• Can match the destructive power of a close-range Stand

Red Hot Chili Pepper is often overlooked in debates about powerful Stands, and wrongly so. It had an immense amount of potential, which, if fulfilled, would have made it an extremely dangerous Stand. Even though Red Hot Chili Pepper is a long-range Stand, it can deal the same amount of damage as close-range ones.

The Stand’s power is directly proportional to the amount of energy that it is supplied with. If there is an enormous power source nearby, Red Hot Chili Pepper can overwhelm and blitz Crazy Diamond. However, this also serves as its weakness. If it does not receive enough energy, it will be unable to beat the weakest Stands.

26 C-Moon

• Power to reverse gravity
• Can be used from a distance

C-Moon was the first step in the evolution of Pucci’s Whitesnake into Made in Heaven. While C-Moon is not as powerful as the final evolution, it is stronger than most Stands in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. It is a remote-controlled Stand, so the user can hide themselves and still manage to beat their opponent.

C-Moon had the power to alter the gravity of a certain place. It would make Pucci the center of a reverse gravitational process. If C-Moon touched a person, it would turn their heart inside out, leading to their death. Additionally, C-Moon has the ability to accelerate time within a specific radius.

25 The Grateful Dead

• Causes biological aging
• Can cover a large area

The Grateful Dead is a long-range Stand that is capable of wreaking havoc in a very short time. The Stand accelerates aging in living beings, causing them to grow old both physically and mentally. The Grateful Dead can attack people over a large range, or it can directly turn a single person old by touching them.

The Stand’s ability to affect people in a vast area paves the way for its user to massacre all of them quite easily. The Stand does have a few drawbacks, which include its ability to affect even allies and its inability to fight more powerful close-range Stands.

24 The Hand

• Can erase things from existence

The Hand is a powerful Stand that debuted in Diamond is Unbreakable. The Stand belongs to Nijimura Okuyasu, who is a stereotypical airhead, and for this reason, the Stand’s power is severely limited. The Hand does not have a complicated ability, but rather a simple (yet powerful) ability to erase anything from existence.

Anything that comes in contact with the right hand of the Stand is completely eradicated. This includes all kinds of objects. The Stand has a few weaknesses, such as how it only works with the right hand and that it’s rather slow in speed. But, under the control of a capable user, these disadvantages wouldn’t matter.

23 Stone Free

• Can create strings from itself via unravelling
• Extremely versatile

Stone Free is the Stand of Jolyne Cujoh, the main protagonist of Stone Ocean. She awakened the Stand after she cut herself with a piece of the Stand Arrow while inside the prison. At first, Jolyne did not understand the power of her Stand, but with time, she managed to master it completely.

The Stand can unravel parts of its body in the form of threads to increase its attacking range and perform other tasks. But, if the Stand is unraveled too much, it loses physical power. When the Stand is not unraveling itself, it remains extremely powerful, launching punches that badly damage the body of another person. So, Jolyne has to be careful while picking a strategy for a fight.

22 Purple Haze

Purple Haze is among the stand-out powers in Golden Wind. The Stand belongs to Pannacotta Fugo, a member of Bucciarati’s Gang. Purple Haze is a dual-edged sword that can affect both the enemies and the allies, which is why Fugo is always reluctant to use it in combat.

The Stand is armed with a deadly flesh-eating virus that turns a person’s body into goo in a matter of seconds. The Stand also has decent physical power, making it one of the more balanced Stands in the story.

21 Chariot Requiem

Chariot Requiem is the evolved form of Polnareff’s Silver Chariot. The Stand came into being after Silver Chariot was stabbed by the Stand Arrow, which also resulted in Polnareff’s death. Chariot Requiem was motivated by one thing and one thing only: to protect the Stand Arrow at all costs.

It is an automatic Stand that is endowed with the power of regeneration, allowing it to reattach limbs. The Stand’s power affects all the living beings in the area, including Stands. Chariot Requiem’s most deadly ability is being able to bring about a metamorphosis in every single person in the world.

20 Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a unique-looking Stand that belongs to Tamaki Damo. The Stand has multiple hands, which not only gives it a cool appearance but also allows the Stand to leave fingerprints on several surfaces.

Any individual who comes in contact with these fingerprints has their body softened. They lose their rigidity, causing them to liquefy, and turn into a puddle of flesh. The targets are left completely defenseless and at the mercy of Damo, who can take his time torturing them. The biggest shortcoming of the Stand is its limited range. If a person manages to leave its vicinity, they immediately turn back to normal.

19 Diver Down

• Can Restructure solids
• Store attacks on surfaces

Diver Down is the Stand of Anasui, who is an important character in Stone Ocean. The Stand has a limited range, but makes up for it with its incredible physical abilities. Diver Down has two special powers that make it among the best Stands in the series.

It can store its strikes on any surface, and they can be released on Anasui’s commands. This is an effective method of catching opponents off guard. The other ability of the Stand is to phase through solids and rearrange them completely.

18 Soft and Wet

• Powerful physically
• Works with spin that produces special bubbles

Soft and Wet is the Stand of Josuke Higashikata. It is strong in melee combat, and it can dominate most Stands in a physical fight. Soft and Wet can create bubbles that can steal away properties of other objects.

The Stand also has some qualities of Yoshikage Kira’s Stand, so it can produce minor explosions with the help of the bubbles. Finally, the most powerful attribute of the Stand is its ability to create bubbles that go beyond regular physics. These bubbles spin at an incredible speed which makes them “non-existent” and allows them to bypass the defenses of Stands such as Wonder of U.

17 Green Day

• Produces mold that can destroy an entire city

Green Day belongs to Cioccolata, a member of Passione. He was originally a doctor, who performed sick and sordid experiments on his patients. Even Diavolo was cautious about sending him on a mission.

Cioccolata’s Green Day is a close-range Stand that can wipe out entire cities in no time. The Stand produces mold, which starts to attack any living thing that moves from a high to low altitude. Even seemingly innocuous activities, such as picking up keys, can be fatal.

16 Wonder of U

• ​​​​​Manipulates calamities
• Cannot be attacked

Wonder of U has a case of being the strongest Stand in the series. It is a sentient Stand that can function on its own. Wonder of U possesses a number of abilities that make it an extremely dangerous stand. It can create illusions of itself, which can confuse the target.

However, the biggest strength of the Stand is its ability to manipulate calamities. Any person who harbors any kind of negative intentions toward the Stand is affected by calamities. To activate the Stand, a person must have looked at its back, while it was in its human form.
