have utility beyond combat and can aid in healing, like Pearl Jam.
Talented Colony Stands, like Sex Pistols, redirect bullets for effective attacks, working with its user.
Metallica, a lethal Stand, uses magnetism to cause internal injuries and control other Stands.

As a longtime fan of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, I can’t help but marvel at the sheer creativity and ingenuity that goes into each Stand ability. From the rambunctious Sex Pistols to the merciless Metallica, these Stands are as diverse as they are deadly.

In the world of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Colony Stands are one of the intriguing types of Stands. Unlike regular Stands, which often act as individual entities with immense destructive capabilities (sometimes even towards their wielders), Colony Stands operate more like a group or swarm. This collective nature gives them a unique advantage over their single-user counterparts in certain aspects. However, it’s worth noting that the power of each individual Stand within the colony isn’t usually as potent as an average Stand.

Nonetheless, these Stands have a variety of skills that differ from the typical Stands, and have a lot of utility beyond combat. This list will cover the best Colony Stands, primarily with practicality taken into account, as few have direct combat ability.

In each chapter or episode, events are presented that pertain specifically to the part itself, rather than the entire series.

6 Brain Storm

User: Urban Guerilla

The Best Colony Stands In JoJos Bizarre Adventure

Appears in: Part 8: JoJolion
Debut: Chapter 66 (Manga)

Urban Guerilla’s Stand is essentially a flesh-eating disease he can transmit through his hands. The Colony appears to resemble burr puzzles and is quite small. While not practical as a direct combatant, it is a devastating ability that could potentially catch many stronger users off-guard.

The entity known as Brain Storm cannot be cured and must be immediately severed when it comes into contact with its objectives. However, it possesses a vulnerability – it can be removed if it hasn’t already entered the body, given that it can be washed off.

5 Pearl Jam

User: Tonio Trussardi

Appears in: Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable
Debut: Chapter 40 (Manga), Episode 10 (Anime)

In a gentle and distinctive manner, Pearl Jam proves itself as one of the finest and most unusual talents in the series, appearing as tomato-like creatures. This Colony Stand is run by none other than Tonio Trussardi, who uses it as one of his culinary secrets. Tonio’s restaurant, Trattoria Trussardi, deviates from the norm. Here, Tonio employs palm reading to diagnose his customers’ ailments. He then prepares a dish infused with Pearl Jam based on his findings.

This remedies the customers’ known issues, though it does so quite forcefully. Initially causing Josuke to modify the food using Crazy Diamond, he eventually uncovered that Tonio was actually a good-hearted individual, employing his Stand to aid others instead.

4 Bad Company

User: Keicho Nijimura

Appears in: Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable
Debut: Chapter 13 (Manga), Episode 4 (Anime)

The complexities of Keicho Nijimura, the older sibling of Okuyasu, are mirrored in his Stand, which consists of 60 miniature soldier figures along with tanks and helicopters, all painstakingly designed. Known as Colony, this Stand is purely offensive in nature, able to fire down anything within its sight. The infantry is likened to an unyielding steel wall, possessing enough powerful ammunition to demolish a concrete barrier.

In his battle against Josuke, Keicho strategically shifted his tactics and moved the fight into a compact room within his home, restricting Josuke’s options to respond effectively to Keicho’s Stand. However, Bad Company (differentiated from the Battlefield game) struggles when it comes to defensive moves, like when Josuke redirected a projectile back at Keicho.

3 Sex Pistols

User: Guido Mista

Appears in: Part 5: Vento Aureo
Debut: Chapter 23 (Manga), Episode 7 (Anime)

This set of six playful entities in the series is exceptionally versatile in combat. Each member has a unique appearance and individual character, which is unusual even for non-unified Stands. The first one usually assumes a leadership role with an upbeat attitude. Number 2 displays more mischievous behavior but works well with Number 1. Number 3 stands out as aggressive, often bullying Number 5. Due to Mista’s fear of the number four, there is no Number 4. Instead, Number 5 serves as the group’s whipping boy, although its role as a backup pistol, largely due to cowardice, makes it an effective last resort that keeps Mista safe. Number 6 resembles Number 3 but usually directs its aggression towards Mista’s enemies. Number 7 mirrors Number 1 and tends to be energetic and proactive.

Despite not being exceptionally strong as solo combatants, they function effectively alongside Mista and his gun. Their main strategy involves redirecting and hitching rides on bullets, ensuring maximum damage and a significantly increased chance of the bullets hitting their mark. The Sex Pistols, through a coordinated effort, can cause a single bullet to travel in numerous directions. Moreover, Mista’s six-chamber is swiftly reloaded by these pistols, saving him time compared to self-reloading.

2 Metallica

Stand User: Risotto Nero

Appears in: Part 5: Vento Aureo
Debut: Chapter 104 (Manga), Episode 18 (Anime)

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but be captivated by the chilling presence of Risotto Nero’s Stand, Metallica – named after the iconic band. This particularly sinister entity, resembling a network of metallic worm-like beings, resides within Risotto’s bloodstream. As a professional assassin, his Stand grants him the ability to manipulate magnetism. He employs this power to strip the iron from his adversaries’ bloodstreams, causing excruciating internal harm.

In a scenario where Metallica, typically under the control of other characters, could be manipulated remotely by Risotto, he once tried to use this ability against Narancia’s Aerosmith with the aim of eliminating Diavolo. However, this attempt ended poorly. Despite only being involved in a single fight and suffering a defeat, it is widely believed that if his adversary had been anyone other than Diavolo, Risotto would have emerged victorious. In fact, Diavolo himself found the encounter challenging, resorting to consuming frogs for iron replenishment and even taking some blood from a boy who played soccer.

1 Harvest

User: Shigekiyo “Shigechi” Yangyu

Appears in: Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable
Debut: Chapter 70 (Manga), Episode 18 (Anime)

As a gamer, I can say that these bug-like entities, known as Stands, are quite unique. Mine, for instance, has an amazing ability to gather various items on the go – from loose change scattered across Morioh to more unusual trinkets. It even possesses stingers that can administer liquids like alcohol straight into an enemy’s bloodstream, making them weak and vulnerable in a fight. What’s impressive is how swiftly it harvests, outrunning most people while carrying me, a slightly stocky kid.

In a fight, Harvest proves to be more formidable than anticipated, boasting a force of 500 members, making even its weaker blows a challenge. Shigechi, too, doesn’t shy away from exploiting weak points, like the eyes, to inflict maximum damage. Regrettably, Shigechi met his end at the hands of Yoshikage Kira during the pursuit, an event probably necessary for the progression of the story in Diamond is Unbreakable. If Harvest had survived, it would’ve been able to find stray items that could have revealed Kira’s true identity and activities much sooner.
