“
It's the main character's Stand, so I made it a simple, combat-oriented type. It's designed to look like a guardian spirit. The shoulder pads look like Fist of the North Star? The spiral patterns symbolize the Ripple and the concept of infinity.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 8
“
主人公のスタンドなのでシンプルに戦える戦闘向きなものに。守護神のイメージでデザインしました。肩パッドは『北斗の拳』ぽい？渦巻き模様で無限とか波紋を表現しています。
”

TranslationTranscript
“
I gave it a bird-like head, modeled after a phoenix, so the heroes' silhouettes wouldn't look too similar to one another when they're side by side. It's a pretty simple ability, right? The design might be influenced by Enki Bilal's characters.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 12
“
仲間が並んだ時にシルエットが被らないように、鳥っぽい頭に…不死鳥のイメージ。能力的にはシンプルだね。デザインはエンキ・ビラルのキャラクターに影響を受けているかも。
”

TranslationTranscript
“
It's the Stand of the previous part's main character, so I wanted a departure from the humanoid appearance. Ultimately, it got more scenes to show off, but I was trying to make a Stand that wasn't very combat-oriented.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 18
“
前作の主人公のスタンドなんで、人間的な形からは外そうかなと。結果的に活躍の場も増えていきましたけど、あまり戦闘向きのスタンドにしないでおこうと思って作りましたね。
”

TranslationTranscript
“
I wanted some color balance between the allies and enemies, so he ended up green. And, Jotaro mentions this too, but green kind of reminds one of melons (laughs). At that time, I was really into green, and a lot of my illustrations were also heavy on the greens!
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 14
“
敵味方でバランスを見ながら色を割り振って、グリーンに。で、緑なんで承太郎も言ってるけどメロンかなと(笑)。この頃はグリーンに凝ってて、イラストも緑系のものが多い！
”

TranslationTranscript
“
I started with some of the less popular tarots for the enemies. The idea came from how annoying it would be if a bug got inside an airplane. But, the meaning of this card is a pretty scary one.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 22
“
あまり人気の無さそうなタロットをまずは敵として出したんです。発想としては、飛行機の中に虫が飛んでいたら嫌かなと。でもこのカードの意味って、かなり恐ろしいんですよ。
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 22
Link to this sectionSilver Chariot
TranslationTranscript
“
Since Star Platinum had a more human appearance, I went with a design that was a mix of European armor and a robotic look. Contrasting punches with a sword! Both Polnareff and Chariot are fun characters to draw. They're classic-style, and highly mobile.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 16
“
星の白金(スタープラチナ)が人間っぽかったので、西洋甲冑＋ロボ的なデザインに。パンチに対して剣！ポルナレフもチャリオッツも、描いてて楽しいキャラでしたね。動かしやすくて王道的で。
”

TranslationTranscript
“
I just had the simple idea that it would be easy to have a fight against a fish-man in the water. I imagined Stands to be a combination of the inorganic with life energy, so a lot of them appear to be a fusion of living creatures with machines.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 24
“
海で戦う相手なら半魚人がわかりやすいだろうというシンプルな発想。スタンドは生命力と無機質さを持ちあわせたイメージなので、生物と機械が融合したような姿が多いですね。
”

“
It's a ghost ship. Also, I might have been thinking about the tale of the Mary Celeste, which was found adrift and unmanned. I might have made its user a monkey due to influence from the movie Link.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 26
“
幽霊船ですね。あと、無人の船がさ迷ってたっていう「メアリー・セレスト号」の伝説のイメージもあったかも。本体を猿にしたのは『リンク』っていう映画の影響だと思います。
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 26

TranslationTranscript
“
The idea came from Chucky in Child's Play, among other horror movies. The design of the doll is based on an African shaman. I went with a distinctive, primal design.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 28
“
発想としては『チャイルド・プレイ』のチャッキー、その他のホラー映画などからです。人形のデザインは、アフリカの呪術人形のイメージですね。独特な、原始的なデザインで。
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 28
Link to this sectionYellow Temperance
TranslationTranscript
“
At first, many of my ideas for enemy Stands came from horror items. You have a fish-man, a mummy, a cursed doll, and so on (laughs). And, this is another one in the horror items series. It's a slime.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 30
“
最初に幾つか敵スタンドをホラーアイテムで考えていったんですよ。半魚人…ミイラ男…呪いの人形、みたいに(笑)。で、これもホラーアイテムシリーズ。スライムですね。
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 30
Link to this sectionEmperor
TranslationTranscript
“
A gun Stand to fight against a sword. I thought it would be novel to have the gun instantly appear in his hand, instead of being drawn from a holster. Its appearance combines the designs of a revolver and an automatic pistol.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 34
“
剣に対抗して銃のスタンド。ホルスターから抜くのではなく、一瞬で手から出現するのが新しいかなと。見た目はリボルバーとオートマチック拳銃を組み合わせたデザインです。
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 34
Link to this sectionHanged Man
TranslationTranscript
“
Wouldn't it be scary if the reflection in a mirror moved differently from the original person? (laughs) As for the design, it's a mummified man. I added some mechanical elements so it doesn't seem biological.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 32
“
鏡の中に映ってる人間が、違う動きをしたら怖いじゃないですか(笑)。デザインとしてはミイラ男ですね。それに少しまた機械的な要素を追加して、生物感を消すようにしてます。
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 32
Link to this sectionEmpress
TranslationTranscript
“
Our typical horror item, the human-faced tumor. The design is a modified form of an Indian Buddha statue. In JoJo, you don't need to keep inflating the enemies' strength, so it's easy to add some irregular enemies.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 36
“
ホラーアイテム系から“人面瘡”ですね。デザインはインドの仏像をアレンジしてます。『ジョジョ』は敵の強さをインフレさせなくていいので、変則的な敵も出しやすいんです。
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 36
Link to this sectionWheel of Fortune
TranslationTranscript
“
You've got a car coming after you, like in Duel or Christine. The design is a '60s or '70s American car remodeled to look like an animal. The Stand user is just a gag character.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 38
“
『激突！』『クリスティーン』みたいに、車が襲いかかってくる。60～70年代のアメ車を改造して生き物のようなデザインにしてます。本体は完全にギャグのためのキャラでしたね。
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 38
Link to this sectionJustice
TranslationTranscript
“
A scary natural phenomenon of the desert, bringing down a verdict of death. It's a great Stand, because you just draw a skull, add some holes, and you're done! Fundamentally, I start drawing without thinking about how the enemies will get defeated, so there's a lot of times where I'm in some trouble because I make them too strong (laughs).
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 40
“
死の判決を下す、砂漠の怖い自然現象。髑髏って穴を描くだけで成立するからいいよね！基本的に敵の倒し方を考えずに描き始めるので、強くしすぎて困ることも多いんです(笑)。
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 40
Link to this sectionLovers
TranslationTranscript
“
This isn't a tournament fight, so you can have a weak, tiny enemy right after a huge, powerful enemy. I'd say its appearance is something like the robot from Short Circuit, crossed with a tick or a fly.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 42
“
トーナメント戦じゃないんでね、大きくて強い敵のあとに小さくて弱い敵と戦ってもいい。見た目は『ショート・サーキット』に出てきたロボットにハエとかノミを混ぜたものかな。
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 42
Link to this sectionSun
TranslationTranscript
“
When you have a Stand representing the sun, I think this is really the only option (laughs). I depicted it as a really strong enemy to make you think the fight's going to drag on for several weeks, but it's all a feint and it gets defeated in no time.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 44
“
「太陽」のスタンドって、もうこういうのしかないかなと(笑)。すごく強そうな敵として描いて、何週も引っ張ると思わせておいてストーリー的なフェイントで、あっさり倒す。
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 44
Link to this sectionDeath Thirteen
TranslationTranscript
“
The mystery behind trying to find an enemy's identity is one of JoJo's strong points. So here, we have a world within a baby's dream. The Stand's design uses a Venetian carnival mask.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 46
“
敵の正体を解明していくミステリー要素は作品の面白さのひとつ。…で、これは赤ちゃんの見ていた夢の世界だったと。スタンドデザインはヴェネツィアのカーニバルの仮面です。
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 46
Link to this sectionJudgement
TranslationTranscript
“
The design was influenced by Mr. Shotaro Ishinomori's Kamen Rider and Kikaider. Of course, its ability was based on the story of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 48
“
石ノ森章太郎先生の『仮面ライダー』や『人造人間キカイダー』あたりに影響を受けてるデザインかな。能力のベースはもちろん『アラジンと魔法のランプ』のエピソードから。
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 48
Link to this sectionHigh Priestess
TranslationTranscript
“
This one has a motif of an African shaman's traditional dress. It looks like it's wearing a straw raincoat or something. The user is a woman, but I didn't make it look too feminine, so that it would come as more of a surprise.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 50
“
アフリカの呪術的な民族衣装がモチーフですね…ミノとか背負ってるようなイメージ。本体は女性なんですけど、意外性を込めて、あまり女っぽさは出さないようにしました。
”

TranslationTranscript
“
I wanted to add a pet to the team at some point. Whites and blacks are easy to depict in manga, so that's how I chose his breed. The design is a fusion of dog and car. His desert sand ability also inspired some Native American elements.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 20
“
いずれチームにペットを入れたいなと思ってたんです。白と黒で漫画的にも表現しやすいからこの犬種。デザインは獣と車の融合。砂(漠)からネイティブ・アメリカン的な要素も。
”

TranslationTranscript
“
I heard about someone drowning from a cup of water in a wash basin, and thought it would be cool to have someone drown in a desert. N'Doul was based on Zatoichi. In my mind, Zatoichi is just a scary guy, rather than the hero.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 52
“
人間は洗面器一杯の水で溺れ死ぬという話を聞いて、砂漠で溺れるのも面白いかと。ンドゥールは座頭市のイメージ。僕の中で座頭市は、ヒーローじゃなくて怖い人なんです(笑)。

“
Up until this point, I had only been thinking about various ways to attack, like with fire or water, and it was around this point that I wanted to bring in an ability that could add some suspense to the story.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 54
“
これまでは「水」「火」みたいに、攻撃のバリエーションで考えてたんですけど、このあたりからサスペンス的に、ストーリーの構成に絡んでこれる能力を出そうと思ってました。

“
I thought I could create a cool story by making an enemy with precognitive powers. This was around the time I got married. Not that I have precognition, but I was thinking about my own future while I was drawing this Stand.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 56
“
予知能力が敵なら、面白い話の構成にできそうだなと。…この頃に結婚したんですよね。予知じゃないけど、このスタンドを描きながら、将来の自分のこととか、考えてましたね。

“
When I was drawing the Egypt 9 Glory Gods' Stands, I placed more importance on the story and tricks than the designs. For instance, you have people getting possessed and allies being mind-controlled.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 58
“
エジプト9栄神のスタンドを描いてたころは、デザインよりもストーリーやトリックが重要になってましたね。心が乗っ取られていく展開とか、味方が操られたりっていうのがね。

“
I do wonder what would happen if a person became a magnet. It was around this time that I was writing the manuscript for a story about Nikola Tesla (The Lives of Eccentrics), and I was pretty interested in electromagnetism at that time.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 60
“
人間が電磁石になったらどうなるんだろうってね。ちょうどこの頃「ニコラ・テスラ」の物語の原案(『変人偏屈列伝』)をやってて、電磁気とかに興味があった時期なんですよ。

I've turned people into magnets and into kids. Its design comes from the Nazca lines and the opening to the anime Tetsujin 28-go. Seeing that shadow stretch across skyscrapers left a deep impression me.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 62
“
磁石にしてみたり、子供にしてみたり…ね。デザインとしてはナスカの地上絵と、アニメの『鉄人28号』のOP(オープニング)から。ビルまで影がグンッと伸びていくのがすごく印象深くて。

“
I wanted to draw a showdown between cheaters. It's been a tradition to do since my first work, Poker Under Arms (laughs). The Stand's visuals are another fusion of an African-style design with mecha elements.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 64
“
イカサマ勝負を描きたかった…僕の初期の作品『武装ポーカー』からの伝統でね(笑)。スタンドビジュアルは、これもまたアフリカ系の民族デザインにメカ的な要素をプラスして。

This one's kinda creepy, looking like just a regular bird skeleton. It's Iggy's enemy in a battle between animals. As you'd expect, an enemy that attacks from the air is pretty strong.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 66
“
これは、ごく普通の鳥を骨にして、ちょっと不気味にした感じかな。イギーが戦う、動物の対戦相手としてね。空中から襲ってくるというのは、やっぱり強そうですから。

“
Modeled after a military robot. The cool part is how it looks like it's half man and half puppet. It was at this point that I started adding hearts to my designs, which eventually ties into Josuke's Stand.
”

軍隊ロボットのイメージ。人間のような人形のような、曖昧さに魅力がある。このあたりからハートマークとかデザインに取り入れだして、後の仗助のスタンドにも繋がってます。

A Stand I put in to add some resting time to the story. I really like Kenny G's sax music, so I'm sorry for making him a disposable mook...

物語の小休止的に登場させたスタンド。「ケニー・G」ってすごく好きなサックス奏者なんだけど、雑魚扱いになってごめんなさい…。

“
A Stand that devours itself... I was thinking about nothingness and infinity. The design comes from the Grim Reaper and executioners. It's like an executioner that might decapitate someone in medieval France.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 70
“
自分で自分を飲み込むとか…無や無限という概念を考えたりしてました。デザインは死神であったり、死刑執行人のイメージ。中世フランスの、首を斬る執行人とかですね。

“
It's a Stand designed as a boss first and foremost, to contrast with Star Platinum's color and other traits. By countering Star Platinum's super speed with time stop, we get a battle between two characters with similar abilities.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 72
“
色味などが星の白金(スタープラチナ)と対になるように、初期にボスとしてデザインしたスタンドですね。星の白金(スタープラチナ)の超スピードに対して、時を止めて対抗してくるという、同質の能力者対決です。

“
A Stand that has the ultimate kindness. Star Platinum is kind of blackish, so I gave this one a contrasting color scheme. Josuke has an out-of-date appearance, but he keeps it that way on purpose.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 80
“
究極の優しさを持ったスタンド。星の白金(スタープラチナ)が黒っぽい感じだったので色味は対照的に。仗助の容姿は、時代的には古臭いものなんですけど、そこをあえてもってくるっていうね。

I imagined a deviant lurking in the town. This one's another slime-type. The Stand's design comes from ritual dolls and Jōmon-era clay figures. I researched various sources to make it.

TranslationTranscript
“
It's really strong, with no limit to its powers. If Okuyasu were smart, he'd be unstoppable (laughs). He's impulsive and only sees what's right in front of him, so it’s like he has blinders on. Similar to a racehorse, those blinders that block the sides of their eyes and restrict their field of vision. That's Okuyasu.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 88
“
能力としては際限がないのでかなり強い。億泰の頭が良かったら無敵ですね(笑)。直情型で前しか見えないので、競走馬のブリンカーみたいに目の脇を塞いで視界が狭くなってる。

“
I think the idea for this came from G.I. Joe action figures and the like. Anyway, I wanted to make a Stand unlike any other I'd done before. So, this Stand is an entire army that emerges from a single soul.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 112
“
『G.I.ジョー』のフィギュアとか、そういうところからの発想だろうね。とにかく、それまでになかったようなスタンドにしようと。軍隊すべてで、ひとつの魂から成るスタンド。

“
A suspense story where you're trapped by a psychological attack, in Stand form. This extortion ability puts a lock on your heart. I gradually shrunk the user down so he could interact with Koichi more easily.

“
精神を責め立ててがんじがらめにする、サスペンスストーリーをスタンドに。ゆすりたかりの能力で心に鍵をかけちゃう。康一君と相対しやすいように、本体はだんだん小さく。

At first, I made it look like an alien larva. Then, it would gradually grow to adulthood. Anyway, I wanted to draw Koichi's growth, so I designed it knowing it would change forms.

A horror that's close to you in your daily life. Like Misery, maybe? In shojo comics in the '80s, girls were objects to be longed for, but from the '90s on, there were more stories with strong girls in lead roles.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 96

It's a cooking Stand, so I gave it a somewhat crazy appearance based off of tomatoes and Italian vegetables. The idea was, "How can I create suspense using cooking as the theme?"

When I saw a dinosaur with a strong headbutt from Kyoryu Daikiko, I thought, "this one is cool!" Also, the way he's strong despite being small might have been influenced by Frieza from Dragon Ball.

『恐竜大紀行』に出てた、頭突きの強い恐竜を見て「こいつイイな！」と思ってね。あと、体は小さくても強いっていうのは、『DB(ドラゴンボール)』のフリーザの影響もあるかもしれないです。

I made this one to draw a story about Joseph and Josuke, and that's all there is to this Stand. It's a Stand that turns things invisible, so is its physical form invisible as well, or does it just not have one?
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 100
“
ジョセフと仗助のエピソードを描くために作った、それだけのスタンド。透明にするスタンドなんで、像(ヴィジョン)も透明にしちゃってるのか、現象を起こすだけの像(ヴィジョン)のないスタンドなのか。

“
It's an ability that turns people into books, so I figured it didn't need a physical form of its own. For the characters that appear in Part 4, I tried to only depict their interactions with Josuke, without clearly defining whether they were allies or enemies, good or evil.
”
—Hirohiko Araki, JOJOVELLER Stand Guide page 90
“
人を本にするという能力を重視したので、スタンドの像(ヴィジョン)は無くてもいいかなと。4部の登場人物は、仗助との関係性だけ描き、あまり敵味方や善悪を明確にしないようにしてます。

An idea I came up with because I wanted to draw the suspense of hunting rats. I just wanted to make it look like a tool. It's a bit of a fusion between a retro cannon and bones, to give it a creepy feeling.

Its design is a worker bee. If you look at its back, there's an abdomen. You've had those times when you're collecting coupons, and you wish you had just one more, right? I combined that with the image of bees collecting honey.
