This article contains spoilers for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 6.

Summary

Part 6 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure initially faced backlash for its finale.
Some fans disliked the cast of Part 6 for perceived weaker characters.
Over time, fans eventually accepted and appreciated Part 6 for its changes and contributions.

While there are enthusiasts for every aspect of “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure,” a significant number of readers have their preferred sections within each part. Generally, Part 7: Steel Ball Run is widely regarded as the series’ zenith, surpassing other stories from the original universe. However, given that each preceding part, such as Part 1, enjoys widespread appreciation and boasts its own dedicated fanbase, it remains challenging to identify parts of “JoJo’s” that don’t resonate with the fan community overall.

Initially, before its anime release, Part 6 of “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” was often viewed negatively by many fans, being considered as the weakest part of the series. However, over time and with an adaptation, more fans came to admire Part 6 in various ways. Yet, this initial dislike has left some fans questioning why this part didn’t sit well with so many “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” fans.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 6 Is Quintessential JoJo’s

Stone Ocean Also Features One Of The Most Bizarre Endings Of Any Part

The storyline of Stone Ocean, Part 6 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, revolves around the adventures of Jolyne Cujoh – the offspring of Jotaro. Wrongly imprisoned for a crime she didn’t commit, her life takes an unexpected turn when she encounters her father in prison. However, their encounter is short-lived as the priest of the penal institution, the primary adversary Pucci, seizes Jotaro’s memories and Stand. This sets off a chain reaction that gradually leads to his demise in a state of unconsciousness. With the urgency to save her father’s life, Jolyne embarks on a mission to retrieve his memories and thwart Father Pucci’s plans from coming to fruition.

Good grief. – Jolyne

At the close of this segment, having gathered a band of allies and exposed Pucci’s scheme to rewind and alter the cosmos for access to Heaven, our main characters square off against the priest. In contrast to earlier episodes, it is Pucci who emerges victorious, annihilating the entire group, including Jotaro and Jolyne, with Emporio being the sole survivor who flees into a fresh universe where he vanquishes Pucci. Yet, even though the universe resets, as Jolyne and her companions perished prior to transitioning to the new reality, they are swapped with near replicas who lead parallel lives in the revamped universe.

Some Fans Were Put off By The Finale

Too Much Change Happened Too Quickly

The Ending Of Part 6 Did Not Sit Well With Some Fans
Some Fans Disliked The Cast Of Part 6

Initially, one aspect that left many JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fans disappointed was the ending, which served as a conclusion to the original universe. For some, this grand event was overly dramatic and resulted in the demise of several cherished characters from the series, effectively closing the door on any potential future installments in the original timeline. In summary, the scale of the finale was simply too overwhelming for certain JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fans to accept.

Simultaneously, certain viewers expressed dissatisfaction with the characters of Part 6, arguing they were less compelling compared to previous installments. Specifically, they felt Pucci and Jolyne lacked unique motivations, as it seemed Dio and Jotaro from prior parts largely drove their actions in this segment. However, other fans maintained that the protagonist and antagonist of Part 6 were equally captivating, going so far as to suggest critics disliked Jolyne due to her being a female character in a series typically dominated by males.

Part 6 Was Also The Send-Off Of The Original Universe

Fans Needed More Time Before They Could Accept The Change

In summary, it appears that many supporters of “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” found it difficult to accept the shifts introduced in Part 6. The alterations in style and universe post-Part 6 seemed to spark criticism, with some fans attributing the demise of the original universe to Part 6. However, it’s worth noting that not long after, Part 7 gained widespread recognition as the series’ best installment. This suggests that the fans just needed a bit of time to adapt to the changes.

Lucky me, no harm done! Yahoo! – Jolyne

Gradually, as time went on, the unexpected shifts introduced in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean initially caused a stir among fans. However, over time, these changes were embraced by the community, leading more fans to recognize and value JoJo’s less celebrated aspect. Despite this, a small percentage of fans remain critical of it. In retrospect, Part 6 didn’t gain immediate affection from the fanbase but eventually found acceptance with some patience.
