Cartes de Tarot
Le Tarot (タロット, Tarotto) est un jeu de cartes à la symbolique mystique qui a une certaine signification dans la série JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, plus précisément dans la partie Stardust Crusaders. Dans l'univers du manga, les cartes du tarot peuvent servir à déterminer le Destin d'un individu et peut indiquer non seulement la nature et les pouvoirs des Stands de la partie 3.[1]
Dans la vie réelle, le tarot est constitué de 78 cartes mais dans Stardust Crusaders, les cartes utilisées sont celles du tarot divinatoire qui est constité de 22 cartes. Utilisés pour la bonne aventure dû à leur réputations mystiques, chacune des cartes du tarot divinatoire a une certaine signification, qui change d'ailleur selon l'orientation de la carte (droite ou renversée).
Description
Les cartes du tarot dans Stardust Crusaders sont mentionnées et apparaissent régulièrement pour signaler l'apparition d'un Stand. Chacune a un style graphique cartoonisé et excentrique, avec des personnages déformés et des détails inhabituels qui rappelent le style de dessin dans Thoth. Les cartes ont été conçues et dessinées par Hirohiko Araki. Les cartes sont mentionnées pour la première fois par Mohammed Abdul, qui en parle à Jotaro Kujo lorsqu'il tire une carte et nomme le Stand de Jotaro "Star Platinum".[1] Durant leur périple vers l'Egypte, les héros rencontrent et combattent alors divers manieurs de Stands aux Stands nommés selon les cartes du tarot divinatoire que la vieille Enya leur envoie.
A l'exception de Cream et Tenore Sax, les Stands de Vanilla Ice et Kenny G. respectivement, ainsi que les 9 Dieux Glorieux d'Egypte, les héros rencontrent surtout des manieurs du tarot divinatoire. Les 9 Dieux Glorieux d'Egypte ont des cartes uniques qui sont aussi montrés quand ils présentent leurs capacités, et N'Doul déclare que les dieux sont l'origine des cartes du tarot.[2] Cet information est obscur, sachant qu'Abdul lui-même, qui est un diseur de bonne aventure et un expert en ce qui concerne les cartes du tarot est les Stands associés, ne connaissait pas l'existence des cartes des dieux égyptien ni l'existence des manieurs de Stands.
Les cartes du tarot divinatoire de la séries sont vendues en tant que produits dérivés, par exemple sous la marque "Adventure Battle Card". Elles ont été aussi incluses dans les boîtes DVD de l'OAV de Stardust Crusaders et dans une édition limitée dans le blu-ray volume 2 de Stardust Crusaders - Combat en Egypte.

- In the magazine version of Chapter 127's cover, the cards were drawn with designs from the Deva Tarot deck set.
- JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future gives Cream and Tenore Sax their own tarot cards, created specifically for the occasion.
