F.F., an intelligent and conscious entity, is granted another chance at existence due to Jolyne’s compassionate actions.

For a considerable period, the enigma surrounding Dio’s Stand power puzzled the heroes greatly, causing Kakyoin a distinct disadvantage during their confrontation. As Kakyoin prepared to release Emerald Splash, Dio unexpectedly struck him fatally, leaving Kakyoin critically injured and on his deathbed.

Yet, in the instant just preceding his demise, Kakyoin considers his companions first and fires an Emerald Splash at a clock tower as a subtle clue regarding Dio’s Stand.

The Universe Resets As Emporio Is The Only One Still Alive From The Previous Timeline

Occurs In: Stone Ocean

In the world of anime, few endings can match the courage displayed in ‘Stone Ocean’. However, it carries an equal amount of melancholy. By the story’s end, Emporio is the sole survivor, as Pucci’s abilities enable him to fashion a new reality by hastening time at an alarming rate.

By employing Weather Report’s Stand, Emporio can harness the abilities of Pucci’s brother to terminate this antagonist permanently. Although the other heroes seem to have perished, their reincarnations appear before Emporio and invite him to embark on a new journey with them.

2. Jonathan Joestar VS Dio Brando

Every Encounter Between These Rivals Is An Emotional Affair, Especially The Final One

Occurs In: Phantom Blood

Although “Phantom Blood” is relatively short, it effectively establishes the tension between Dio and Jonathan through their frequent physical altercations. Given Dio’s malevolent behavior, these fights occur quite frequently.

Every conflict between them stirs deep emotions, most notably the climactic showdown where Dio’s decapitated head surprises Jonathan, just moments before he was set to embark on a blissful married life. Despite his life slipping away, Jonathan chooses not to harbor hate towards Dio and gives him one final, heartfelt embrace as the ship is consumed by flames.

1. Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli VS Wamuu

One Of The Most Emotional Moments In JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Has Been Tainted By The Internet

Occurs In: Battle Tendency

It’s unfortunate that Caesar’s death has been turned into a meme to the extent that fans find themselves chuckling at Joseph’s heart-wrenching scream. Originally, those who didn’t have their emotional response to Caesar’s demise spoiled could have cried genuinely as he fell following a gripping struggle against Wamuu.

It was especially tough to swallow, given that Wamuu paid tribute to Caesar in death and his warrior spirit. Watching Lisa Lisa fight back tears while lighting her cigarette backward, followed by Jonathan’s emotional outburst as he called out to his friend, created a deeply moving scene. As Joseph braced himself to confront the Pillar Men for their crimes, the emotions were palpable.
