==Summary==
Araki delves deeper into his "trade secrets" and discusses how to create villains, as charming villains are the key to a good manga. He also reviews the four basic structures of manga and what to do when one has trouble creating a character.: for instance, Araki suggests creating the main character and villain at the same time. AlthoughAs hean lostexample [[Dioof Brando]]'swhat originalto characterconsider sheetwhen thatcreating hea made before ''[[JoJovillain's Bizarre Adventure]]'' was serializedbackground, he createdincludes acharacter newinformation onesheets throughfor memory[[Dio andBrando]], shares[[Yoshikage itKira]], asand an[[Funny example of what to consider for a character's backgroundValentine]]. He talks about character deaths, and suggestsstating that authors shouldn't let their feelings be involved when determiningdecide whether a character should die or not if it goes against the story's natural flow of the story. Recently, Araki has wanted to portray villains more realistically rather than simply being strong., Heinspired mentions howby the film {{W|Joker (2019 film)|''Joker (2019)''}} depictsand Arthurits as amore realistic villaindepiction whoof the audience could relate to since thetitular character's circumstancesand arehis showncircumstances. Araki endsalso the first part with discussingdiscusses how he wrote and developed the villains of each part of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' up to ''[[JoJolion]]'', including [[Kyoka Izumi]] from ''[[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan]]'', whom he sees as a villain for [[Rohan Kishibe]] due to their conflicting philosophies.

Araki walks through the process of creating a new villain from scratch, introducing Kinjiro, a boy that loves mushrooms. Once a character's core traits are established, the "fate" of the manga is set, and creators must stay true to its foundational elements, rather than altering the story for external trends or commercial pressures. He concludes that aspiring manga artists should forge their own creative path along the 'royal road' of manga, while being mindful of societal influences; they should draw inspiration from personal experiences but also continuously learn about the world to create deeper characters and stories.
 
The book features additions that weren't present in the ''[[JOJO magazine]]'' publication. This includes an extra section about ''[[The JOJOLands]]'', as well as the character information sheets for Kira and Valentine.
