On exclusion JoJolionwhich is currently still ongoing, there are a total of 8 JoJo's parts altogether, although they all vary quite a bit in length. A shorter part may be ideal for rereads or for any outside viewer who wants to get a taste of the series without having to watch or read too much, while on the other hand, a longer part may feel more immersive , as fans embark on a grand adventure with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Before looking at the length of each part, this article will only focus on the total manga chapters, since the anime episodes tend to stick to a certain limit, and also because some of the parts have not been animated yet.

Ghost blood
Chapters: 44
The very first part of JoJo's, Ghost bloodis a fairly short section of the story that mostly acts as an introduction to the series and its characters, primarily the Joestar family and the troublesome villain known as Dio. Set in Victorian England, Phantom Blood follows Jonathan, a polite and educated young man who eventually forms a heated rivalry with the mysterious Dio, who becomes extremely powerful after harnessing the power of a stone mask.
While it's commonly said that newcomers to the series can skip Phantom Blood if they find it too slow or uninteresting, the truth is that there's a lot of decks in these few chapters that will be referenced much later, so it's still worth it. the verification.

Fighting tendency
Chapters: 69
Although it was clear, Araki was still figuring out the identity of the series in part 1, in Fighting tendencywhich takes place in America a year before the outbreak of World War II, he had begun to become more confident in revealing more of the characters and the world. As a result, this part contains much more content than Ghost blood he did, along with the intrepid new protagonist Joseph, getting involved in all sorts of strange and chaotic situations throughout his adventure.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Manga moments that were censored in the anime
Not everything from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga made it into the anime. Here are some moments that were censored.
While the role begins by showing Joseph's daily life as a rebellious and feisty teenager, once he receives training from Lisa Lisa and forms an unlikely bond with Caesar, the stakes begin to rise as he is forced into soon to face a new group. of enemies known as the Pillar Men. Battle Tendency is one part of the series that gives fans more than enough content to enjoy without feeling like it will ever outstay its welcome.
6
Steel Run Ball
Chapters: 95
Steel Run Balloften touted as the best installment of the entire series by many fans, it is the seventh installment of JoJo's bizarre adventure which follows Johnny, a former paraplegic jockey who is looking for a way to somehow regain the use of his legs. Given the Steel Run Ball is essentially a reboot of the story, this meant that Araki was able to create an entirely new adventure with only subtle references to the previous installments. However, instead of going too far with an abundance of new ideas and concepts, the talented author instead managed to cram a truly epic and quite emotional story into less than 100 chapters.
As a result, Steel Run Ball it feels like a compelling and satisfying part of the series that always moves at a steady pace, ensuring that readers never get bored and that the story never lingers without anything to say. In addition to the right length, Steel Run Ball it's also notable for its villain, Funny Valentine, who will hopefully be appearing in animated form very soon.
5
JoJolion
Chapters: 110
Until when JoJolion spread, the series was now published in Ultra Jump, a seinen magazine that allowed chapters to appear every month rather than weekly. This gave Araki the opportunity to present a story that was more of a slow burn, resulting JoJolion; a weird and wonderful story about a young man known only as “Josuke”.
Since Josuke wakes up with amnesia, with no idea who he is or where he came from, much of the story is devoted to unraveling this mystery. This usually sees Josuke putting himself in some pretty dangerous scenarios, such as going up against the patriarch of a ruling family, just to try and put the pieces together and discover who he really is. Although it is already quite long, many fans wanted this JoJolion he only had a few extra chapters to show his villain, Toru, a bit more since he only appears very suddenly near the end.
4
Stardust Crusaders
Chapters: 152
Despite being by far the longest in the anime, Stardust Crusaders lands in the middle of the road when I factor in the manga's chapter totals, though it's still quite a long read. This makes sense, though, considering that part three is supposed to be a globe-trotting adventure where Jotaro and the gang visit a multitude of different countries in hopes of eventually reaching Cairo to face on Dio, who woke up from his sleep to take revenge. on the Joestar family.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has some incredible ending songs, but not all of them are equally amazing.
While this installment initially starts out in a monster-of-the-week format, it eventually becomes much more focused, with each member of the main cast getting a bit of development throughout the adventure. By the end, fans really feel like they've just reached the finish line of an epic journey they'll never forget, which is why the length of this part really works in its favor.
3
Golden wind
Chapters: 155
Golden wind is often seen as one of the most divisive parts of the story, primarily because of how outlandish some of the abilities would become, especially King Crimson. However, given how long it is, every fan will still be able to find a few parts to enjoy as there's still a lot to love, especially when the story focuses on Giorno and his bond with Bucciarati and the rest of the gang .
Golden wind introduces a large cast of new characters that help keep the story moving, giving Giorno and his friends new goals and objectives, including rescuing the frightened daughter of a shady boss, who the gang tries to protect from a multitude of naysayers heaven. While the initial mission is to crack down on the drug culture that has taken over the city of Naples, the story soon blossoms into something much bigger, especially once Diavolo, the main villain, is introduced.
2
The stone ocean
Chapters: 158
Starting with only 3 more chapters than the part that came before, The stone ocean it is the second longest installment in the entire series and essentially acts as the end of the original timeline. Because of this, Araki should tie up a few loose ends in this particular arc, including building the relationship between Jotaro and Jolyne and showing the lingering impact Dio left on the world, and more specifically, his followers.
The stone ocean it also deals with some pretty complex ideas that Araki took a while to really flesh out, especially the whole concept of Pucci's heaven and how it results in a whole new timeline. needless to say, The stone ocean the story isn't one that could simply be wrapped up in a few volumes, which is why it had to be stretched out so much in the end.
1
The diamond is unbreakable
Chapters: 174
Who would have guessed that a part of the story that takes place in the small, sleepy town of Morioh could end up being so long? The truth is, Araki took his time when he wrote The diamond is Intricabledeciding to give readers a feel for the setting first rather than rushing into the action. As a result, many chapters are literally devoted to Josuke and his friends meeting at malls or messing with their stands. At the same time, since the role spends a lot of time developing its supporting characters, including Rohan, who many see as a stand-in for Araki himself, this also ends up adding to the length.
While the stakes of this part of the story don't feel very high for a good portion of it, once the strange Yoshikage Kira makes his first appearance, the story starts to feel a lot more familiar. However, this is still a part that can be a bit difficult to re-read in its entirety due to how much content there is, although this allowed the part's cast to shine, given how they all get to share the spotlight in their own way. equal.
