The opening begins with a gray, drab visual of a heart with an anchor in the middle bearing the name "[[JoJo]]". Thorns from [[Hermit Purple]] wrap around the heart as a purple pulse monitor flashes across the screen. The pulse monitor then becomes erratic as if a heart attack, turning into electricity as the scene transitions into a cul-de-sac with the main cast standing in the middle while the camera rotates around them. The scene flashes to cans of soup in a freezer bearing the hands of several women while a superimposed "JoJo" is plastered across the image. The scene flashes back to the cast, zooming in on [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] as he strikes a pose before rotating to feature [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] also posing. The scene then flashes to an image of several suitcases with destination stickers of countries from around the world, one of which being Egypt where the [[Bow and Arrow|arrow]] came from, beneath them a puddle of blood and behind them a cracked door with light shining through. The scene then rotates to feature [[Joseph Joestar]] holding baby [[Shizuka Joestar|Shizuka]] before rotating again to feature [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] posing.
The opening begins with a drab gray visual of a heart featuring an anchor in the center, with the name "[[JoJo]]" on it. Thorns from [[Hermit Purple]] coil around the heart as a purple pulse monitor flashes on the screen. The pulse monitor becomes erratic, resembling a heart attack, before turning into electricity. The scene transitions into a {{W|dead end street}} with the main cast standing in the center while the camera rotates around them. The image then shifts to cans of soup in a freezer, with several women's hands visible, while the superimposed word "JoJo" is plastered across the scene.


The view shifts back to the cast, zooming in on [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] as he strikes a pose before rotating to feature [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] posing as well. It then flashes to suitcases with destination stickers from various countries, one of which is Egypt, where the [[Bow and Arrow|arrow]] originated. Below the suitcases is a puddle of blood, and behind them, a cracked door with light shining through. The camera rotates again to show [[Joseph Joestar]] holding baby [[Shizuka Joestar|Shizuka]] before switching to [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] as he strikes a pose.
The scene swiftly transitions to a photograph of [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] happily sitting next to all of his friends, along with, [[Toshikazu Hazamada|Toshikazu]], [[Tamami Kobayashi|Tamami]], and [[Shigekiyo Yangu|Shigechi]]—all striking poses and [[volume 41|pointing at the sky]], except for [[Yukako Yamagishi|Yukako]], who is staring happily at Koichi, and [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]], who is pointing towards where [[Reimi Sugimoto|Reimi's]] alley should be. The camera zooms out to feature several other Polaroid photos all lying on the ground, [[Killer Queen#Sheer Heart Attack|tire marks]] covering them. The [[Yoshikage Kira|Killer]]'s hand suddenly appears on all of the photos at once and smashes down on them before distorting into a skull. The photographs all erupt into flames and disintegrate as the main title appears from the fire.


The scene then transitions to a photo of [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] joyfully sitting with his friends, alongside [[Toshikazu Hazamada|Hazamada]], [[Tamami Kobayashi|Tamami]], and [[Shigekiyo Yangu|Shigechi]]—all striking poses and [[Volume 41|pointing at the sky]] except for [[Yukako Yamagishi|Yukako]], who is happily gazing at Koichi, and [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]], who points towards where [[Reimi Sugimoto|Reimi]]'s [[Ghost Girl's Alley|alley]] would be. The camera zooms out to reveal several Polaroid photos scattered on the ground, covered in [[Sheer Heart Attack|tire marks]]. Suddenly, the [[Yoshikage Kira|killer]]'s hand smashes down on all the photos, transforming into a skull. The pictures burst into flames and disintegrate as the main title emerges from the fire.
The title then turns into multiple sticky notes with each of the title's hiragana letters on them. These then scatter as the scene transitions to a field with Okuyasu and Toshikazu looking at Shigechi feeding a flock of pigeons. Suddenly, a finger appears on screen as the Killer violently trims his nail; with the reflections of three women appearing in the fingernail's reflection. The scene quickly shifts back to Shigechi and the others as the pigeons become spooked and fly off. The position of the scissors was lined up to where Shigechi's neck is, foreshadowing his fate.


The title morphs into sticky notes, with each hiragana letter of the title on a separate note. These notes scatter, transitioning to a scene in a field where Okuyasu and Toshikazu watch Shigechi feed a flock of pigeons. Suddenly, a finger appears on the screen as the killer trims his nail, with reflections of three women visible in the nail. The scene quickly shifts back to Shigechi as the pigeons scatter, spooked. The position of the scissors aligns ominously with Shigechi's neck, hinting at his fate.
[[File:Chase-Sheer Heart Attack.jpg|thumb|270px]]
After a transition, Rohan appears as he sketches the birds flying off into the distance and near [[Super Fly|electrical pillars]] from the sanctity of his home. Rohan then looks up from his notebook and out the window with a solemn gaze. A single pigeon transitions the next scene, as the focus shifts to Toshikazu and Tamami arguing on the sidewalk while Josuke and Koichi chat with Okuyasu. On the screen, [[Bug-Eaten]] and the other rats appear above them before slowly panning to the anchor within the heart from earlier. The heart takes up the scene as everything else fades into black. Suddenly, a decrepit hand with long fingernails reaches out and clutches the heart in its hand, causing the thorns surrounding it to shatter as the background turns red. Out of nowhere, the skull of Sheer Heart Attack appears and eats the heart and hand with a single chomp; causing the thorns to spurt blood as if they were arteries. Out of darkness appears the newly evolved [[Echoes|Echoes ACT3]]; shrouded in darkness (up until it Episode 24 after its full reveal) its eyes glowing, with the silhouettes of Koichi and Hazamada changed into books in the background. Several green soundwaves appear from Echoes' body as this transitions into [[Love Deluxe]] and [[Cinderella]] side-by-side. Several arrows shoot down from above as both Stands each transform into their respective users, Yukako and Aya. The camera zooms out on the two sitting women as Aya clutches Yukako's face, a thin line of white rectangles separating them while blue lights shine from above.


[[File:Chase-Sheer Heart Attack.jpg|thumb|270px|Sheer Heart Attack's skull]]
The camera unexpectedly zooms back in, now showing the white rectangles as windows with two hands holding one another. The hands disappear as the scene distorts into several windows which now show the Killer holding one of the severed hands of his "girlfriends". The hands phase away as [[Yoshihiro Kira|an old man]] holding a single bleeding arrow menacingly appears inside pictures, simply motionless. The man disappears as the camera zooms into where he once was, now traveling through Reimi's alley as the spirits of [[Arnold]] and Reimi appear, crying out in apparent pain. The camera zooms behind her as thick, sketchy lines depict the skull of [[Killer Queen]] briefly transforming into several black Arrows.
After a transition, Rohan is shown sketching the fleeing birds from the comfort of his home near the [[Super Fly|electrical pillars]]. He glances up from his notebook and gazes solemnly out the window. A single pigeon carries the scene into an aerial view of Hazamada and Tamami arguing on the sidewalk, while Josuke and Koichi chat with Okuyasu through scratched glass. [[Bug-Eaten]] and other rats appear above them as the view slowly pans to the heart from earlier, which Koichi stops to observe.


The heart dominates the screen as everything else fades to black. Suddenly, a decrepit hand with long nails reaches out, grasping the heart, causing the surrounding thorns to explode as the background turns red. Out of nowhere, the skull of Sheer Heart Attack appears, devouring the heart and hand in a single bite, causing the thorns to spurt blood as if they were arteries.
[[File:Chase-Josuke and Kira.jpg|thumb|left|270px]]

The Arrows all fire out at Jotaro, Okuyasu, Koichi, and their Stands, barely missing them as they prepare for battle. The scene pans slowly over to Josuke, who with a furious look on his face, summons [[Crazy Diamond]] and shatters the Arrows into several pieces. As Crazy Diamond lets out a roar, shattering the remaining Arrows, Josuke breaks through as he desperately reaches out to catch the murderous silhouette of the Killer. The camera zooms closer in an attempt to reveal the Killer's face as he merely turns his head towards Josuke, revealing a cold, blue feline-like eye.
Emerging from the darkness is [[Echoes|Echoes ACT3]], shrouded in shadow (until Episode 24 when it is fully revealed), its eyes glowing. In the background, the silhouettes of Koichi and Hazamada are unraveled into books by Heaven's Door. Green waves ripple from Echoes' hands as it claps, transitioning to [[Love Deluxe]] and [[Cinderella]] standing side by side. Surgical dotted lines shaped like arrows split open into an eye, then a square, before white rectangles fall from above, transforming the two Stands into their users, Yukako and [[Aya Tsuji|Aya]]. The camera zooms out to reveal the two sitting on a bed in Aya's salon, Aya clutching Yukako's face, while white rectangles separate them and dim blue lights shine from above.

The camera zooms in again, revealing the white rectangles as photo reels with two hands holding each other. The hands disappear, and the scene distorts into windows showing the killer holding one of the severed hands of his "girlfriends". The windows fade, revealing [[Yoshihiro Kira|an old man]] menacingly holding a bleeding arrow, standing motionless inside a picture, his head bowed and face shrouded in shadow. As the camera zooms toward him, the scene transitions to [[Reimi Sugimoto|Reimi]]'s alley, where the spirits of [[Arnold]] and Reimi cry out in pain. The camera pans behind Reimi, sketchy lines depicting [[Killer Queen]]'s skull briefly transforming into several black Arrows.

[[File:Chase-Josuke and Kira.jpg|thumb|left|270px|Josuke pursues the killer]]
The Arrows shoot out at Jotaro, Okuyasu, Koichi, and their Stands, barely missing them as they prepare for battle. The camera then shifts to Josuke, who, with a furious expression, summons [[Crazy Diamond]], shattering the Arrows into pieces. As Crazy Diamond roars and destroys the remaining Arrows, Josuke charges forward, reaching out toward the killer's silhouette. The camera zooms in, trying to reveal the killer's face as he turns toward Josuke, revealing a cold, blue, feline-like eye.

Latest revision as of 17:06, 26 February 2025

"chase" is the second opening theme song of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable and the sixth overall opening theme of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation. The song is performed and arranged by the group batta,[4] consisting of Tomomori Mano, Asato Shinohara, Takeshi Hoshino, and Tatsu Hoshino, who wrote the lyrics. The single was released on July 27, 2016, with an additional instrumental and acoustic version included.

An English version of "chase" was included as a bonus track on the band's third album Prelude, released on October 17, 2018.[3]

Opening Animation

The logo appears

The opening begins with a drab gray visual of a heart featuring an anchor in the center, with the name "JoJo" on it. Thorns from Hermit Purple coil around the heart as a purple pulse monitor flashes on the screen. The pulse monitor becomes erratic, resembling a heart attack, before turning into electricity. The scene transitions into a dead end street with the main cast standing in the center while the camera rotates around them. The image then shifts to cans of soup in a freezer, with several women's hands visible, while the superimposed word "JoJo" is plastered across the scene.

The view shifts back to the cast, zooming in on Josuke as he strikes a pose before rotating to feature Okuyasu posing as well. It then flashes to suitcases with destination stickers from various countries, one of which is Egypt, where the arrow originated. Below the suitcases is a puddle of blood, and behind them, a cracked door with light shining through. The camera rotates again to show Joseph Joestar holding baby Shizuka before switching to Jotaro as he strikes a pose.

The scene then transitions to a photo of Koichi joyfully sitting with his friends, alongside Hazamada, Tamami, and Shigechi—all striking poses and pointing at the sky except for Yukako, who is happily gazing at Koichi, and Rohan, who points towards where Reimi's alley would be. The camera zooms out to reveal several Polaroid photos scattered on the ground, covered in tire marks. Suddenly, the killer's hand smashes down on all the photos, transforming into a skull. The pictures burst into flames and disintegrate as the main title emerges from the fire.

The title morphs into sticky notes, with each hiragana letter of the title on a separate note. These notes scatter, transitioning to a scene in a field where Okuyasu and Toshikazu watch Shigechi feed a flock of pigeons. Suddenly, a finger appears on the screen as the killer trims his nail, with reflections of three women visible in the nail. The scene quickly shifts back to Shigechi as the pigeons scatter, spooked. The position of the scissors aligns ominously with Shigechi's neck, hinting at his fate.

Sheer Heart Attack's skull

After a transition, Rohan is shown sketching the fleeing birds from the comfort of his home near the electrical pillars. He glances up from his notebook and gazes solemnly out the window. A single pigeon carries the scene into an aerial view of Hazamada and Tamami arguing on the sidewalk, while Josuke and Koichi chat with Okuyasu through scratched glass. Bug-Eaten and other rats appear above them as the view slowly pans to the heart from earlier, which Koichi stops to observe.

The heart dominates the screen as everything else fades to black. Suddenly, a decrepit hand with long nails reaches out, grasping the heart, causing the surrounding thorns to explode as the background turns red. Out of nowhere, the skull of Sheer Heart Attack appears, devouring the heart and hand in a single bite, causing the thorns to spurt blood as if they were arteries.

Emerging from the darkness is Echoes ACT3, shrouded in shadow (until Episode 24 when it is fully revealed), its eyes glowing. In the background, the silhouettes of Koichi and Hazamada are unraveled into books by Heaven's Door. Green waves ripple from Echoes' hands as it claps, transitioning to Love Deluxe and Cinderella standing side by side. Surgical dotted lines shaped like arrows split open into an eye, then a square, before white rectangles fall from above, transforming the two Stands into their users, Yukako and Aya. The camera zooms out to reveal the two sitting on a bed in Aya's salon, Aya clutching Yukako's face, while white rectangles separate them and dim blue lights shine from above.

The camera zooms in again, revealing the white rectangles as photo reels with two hands holding each other. The hands disappear, and the scene distorts into windows showing the killer holding one of the severed hands of his "girlfriends". The windows fade, revealing an old man menacingly holding a bleeding arrow, standing motionless inside a picture, his head bowed and face shrouded in shadow. As the camera zooms toward him, the scene transitions to Reimi's alley, where the spirits of Arnold and Reimi cry out in pain. The camera pans behind Reimi, sketchy lines depicting Killer Queen's skull briefly transforming into several black Arrows.

Josuke pursues the killer

The Arrows shoot out at Jotaro, Okuyasu, Koichi, and their Stands, barely missing them as they prepare for battle. The camera then shifts to Josuke, who, with a furious expression, summons Crazy Diamond, shattering the Arrows into pieces. As Crazy Diamond roars and destroys the remaining Arrows, Josuke charges forward, reaching out toward the killer's silhouette. The camera zooms in, trying to reveal the killer's face as he turns toward Josuke, revealing a cold, blue, feline-like eye.

大切なモノ奪われそう
日常に紛れ込んだ悪魔
平穏ならとっくに崩れ去ってる

Taisetsu na mono ubawaresō
Nichijō ni magirekonda akuma
Heion nara tokkuni kuzuresatteru

My most precious things seem to be stolen
A demon's burrowed into my everyday life
If I'd stood by, it'd have collapsed by now

何気ない そして、さり気ない
気付がないうちに奪われていた
取り返しに行くなら今さ

Nanigenai soshite, sarigenai
Kizu ga nai uchi ni ubawareteita
Torikaeshi ni iku nara ima sa

Unconcerned and nonchalant,
It'd been torn away before I noticed
If I'm gonna get it back, the time is now

貫いた矢のような鋭さで
ぶつけ合う心は美しい

Tsuranuita ya no yō na surudosa de
butsukeau kokoro wa utsukushī

With the sharpness of a piercing arrow,
these colliding hearts are a thing of beauty

どこまでも Chase You
いつも Chase You
俺は Chase You
逃げ場はない

Doko mademo Chase You
Itsumo Chase You
Ore wa Chase You
Nigeba wa nai

I'll chase you anywhere
I'll chase you anytime
I will chase you
There's nowhere to run

走り出せ Chase You
明日も Chase You
叩きつけてやるのさ

Hashiridase Chase You
Asu mo Chase You
Tatakitsukete yaru no sa

I run to chase you
Tomorrow too, chase you
So I can beat you down

勝敗を分けるのは
執念さ だから I Chase You

Shōhai o wakeru no wa
Shūnen sa dakara I Chase You

Victory is decided by tenacity
That's why I chase you

貫いた矢のような鋭さで
ぶつけ合う心は美しい

Tsuranuita ya no yō na surudosa de

With the sharpness of a piercing arrow,
these colliding hearts are a thing of beauty

どこまでも Chase You

Official English Version

My heart is about to erupt
Bad feeling has grown in our days
It's never peace, I'm losing myself

Up to now I haven't noticed
You can't act like me before anymore
Time is coming, baby, can you run away?

Like an arrow, sharp and narrow, hearts will crush again.
It's dazzling full of it, can't you see?

So all I do is chase you
And I will chase you
Yes I can chase you
Nowhere you can hide

Start running, I will chase you
And I will chase you
So come and smell this world full of pain

Hang in there
That's a clue
Win this game
So watch me I'll chase you

Just like an arrow, sharp and narrow, hearts will crush again
Now it's time to take back what you stole from me

So all I do is chase you
And I will chase you
Yes I can chase you
Nowhere you can hide

Start running, I will chase you
And I will chase you
So come and smell this world full of pain

Cha-cha-chase you
Cha-cha-chase you
Cha-cha-chase you
Wide awake, but I'm still dreaming

Cha-cha-chase you
Cha-cha-chase you
No, it may never ever end

Hang in there
That's a clue
Win this game
So watch me I'll chase you

Trivia

  • According to the opening director, Yasufumi Soejima, the pigeon feeding scene originally had scripted dialogue consisting of Okuyasu telling Hazamada "not to kill the pigeons again", and Hazamada claiming he would never do such a thing.[5]
  • The opening adds Reimi and Arnold to the group photograph, behind Rohan, from Episode 18 onward.
  • After Echoes ACT3 is revealed, the opening removes its shadow obscurity and has it replace ACT2 next to Koichi.
  • The flames burning up the photos of Josuke and his friends are likely a reference to Cheap Trick trying to get Rohan to burn the photos that reveal Kira's new identity.
  • Similar to STAND PROUD, chase has an "Acoustic Version" of the opening that features a slowed-down tempo with more of a melancholy tone.
