The one time in JoJo that someone is criticized for their fashion sense/choices is Josuke’s hair, and we all know how that ends… but aside from that, I think it’s a lesson built into the story - Josuke’s hair is extremely important to him, for reasons that a stranger could never know. The idea being that you shouldn’t criticize someone else’s fashion or style choices because you really never know the meaning or story behind them

There are times when a character's style is criticized though, an obvious example is Josuke's hair in part 4 which gets repeatedly made fun of for being out of style, and for a very recent example Dragona was picked on during middle school for his gender nonconforming appearance

What are you on about? Dragona's case was not meant to criticized his style or appearance, but to depict the abused and hardships he faced due to his identity. He later gained the resolve and confidence to present himself however he is comfortable from what Jodio did to protect him, he also awakened his stand at that moment signified his growth and resolve. The story is condemning the ignorance and violent behavior of the bully, not criticizing Dragona style wtf. In Josuke case, the story is constantly showing Josuke standing by his choices of the hairstyle because of what it meant for him, the people who laugh at his hairstyle are all presented as antagonistic and as bad guy. Where tf did the story ever trying to criticized how any of the character should be. The take away is to be confident of who you are and who you want to be, where is media literacy nowadays.

My friend told me that he got in the best shape of his life by following the Polnareff workout for a while when he was younger-apparently it was extremely intense. He characterized it as the “revenge workout”… as in, it made sense for Polnareff’s character to be so furiously motivated by vengeance that he’d hike up steep inclines for hours just to get in better shape and prepare to avenge his sister.

@@Marrianno Yeah, I feel like Giorno’s entire concept would feel awful-like, oddly misogynistic-if he was female. It always rubbed me the wrong way that the editor who mentioned that in the interview that info comes from speculated that Giorno’s ability to create life comes from the dummied-out idea of the protagonist potentially having been a girl… as though the singular association one should have with the concept of femininity is “birthing children”. Ew. That would honestly be a super creepy concept for a teenage girl character, especially combined with the fact that Giorno has a sexualized design that would NOT translate well as a female character. That giant boobie window he’s got would have a completely different feeling for a teenage girl, seriously… especially if you combine that with “the ability to give birth”. You need only look at some genderbent fanart to see how depressing that would have been. As it stands Giorno has a really cool lowkey “creator god” or “male fertility god” feeling which feels really fresh and unique, and although he is sexualized it’s not intrusive at all-it just fits his vibe. I feel the same way about Bruno; his tender hidden nature is an excellent and memorable trait for a male character, but it would probably feel like a tiresome stereotype or bad writing if it were a female character in that same story role.

It is like a huge personality trait that he owes his style to a man from the past who saved his life. So he flies into an uncontrollable rage when people insult his hair specifically. Anytime someone makes fun of his appearance they get absolutely railed by Crazy Diamond. After watching your video, especially the part at 19:18 it made me think of this.

Hi! Jotaro is Joseph’s grandson, not nephew at 5:28. Joseph’s daughter is Holly, and Holly is Jotaro’s mother. Holly sets the entire adventure in motion by being affected by Dio’s Stand curse, and it’s why Jotaro and Joseph run off to defeat Dio! I think it’s also worth mentioning that Araki will also take clothing and pose inspiration from models, whether male or female. For example, Albacchio’s coat with the criss cross over the open chest is a direct reference to a female Chanel look, and Tiziano and Squalo (the dudes at 18:47) have their looks directly inspired by female looks (I think also by Chanel?). I’m surprised you didn’t mention too much about Part 6 Stone Ocean where, even though its a female protagonist, there’s also Jotaro’s new look along with a new character Anasui, who although has a masculine body, has a very androgynous look (also DIO is in it, though no longer plays as big as a role, but by golly you HAVE to look at pictures or clips of him if you haven’t. He actually looks young and his features softer than from Part 3 yet he’s still beautiful). I love this since Araki puts no barrier between what should be considered beautiful between a man and woman and will unapologetically use inspiration from either side for his characters.

What's interesting is that in the manga during the very beginning of Part 4, all the characters were drawn so goddamn muscular you could say they were buffer than Part 3 characters. Early Josuke had a brick for hair and an axe for a jaw. It's very interesting to see how Araki toned down this style in exchange for the more chill and relaxed characters later on. Also you didn't mention Anasui which not only Is a huge miss opportunity but also makes the little simp in my heart sad.

@@EvyTallWoman I think, given the contents of Chapter 13 that we can say Dragona’s ability to move around body parts can probably be interpreted as a manifestation of the desire to live authentically true to themselves. Dragona swore to “get stronger” after the bus incident, after Jodio showed through actions just how much he loved his sibling. …I use “them” only mostly because the story hasn’t been terribly specific about Dragona’s gender identity, although it’s very clear they’re some flavor of transfemme even if Jodio and Barbara Ann use “him”. The family all seem to be very clearly loving and supportive of one another, so I wonder if Jodio calling Dragona “bro” despite clearly recognizing and respecting that there’s some gender stuff going on will ever be given an explanation, or if it’s just kind of going to remain a quirk of their interactions.

Jojo's bizarre adventure was instrumental in me having the confidence to come out as transfem ngl, and part 5 especially really influences my fashion (when im not wearing my baggy clothes to obscure my gender)

Giorno is the son of a Joestar. DIO stole Jonathan's body and used it to procreate with women, that would mean Giorno is biologically Jonathan's son and not DIO.

It's funny how some people insist that Giorno is Jonathan's son and not Dio's when most canon and official material acknowledge him as Dio's son more than Jonathan's. Either way, Giorno shares a lot of mannerisms and even physical similarities with Dio. Araki's vampires are super healers and it's spelled out that they quickly replace any host cells with their own. So think of Jonathan's body like a house that's been renovated and gutted to fit the new owner Also, in Eyes of Heaven, Dio and Giorno have some father-son interactions and even do a double MUDAMUDA together. Giorno has none of that with Jonathan despite him also being in the same game. (I know Eyes of Heaven is dubiously canon but since it's the only even remotely official Dio and Giorno interaction we have, then that's what we gotta go off of)

Jojo's and its approach to unconventional masculinity and androgynous fashion was a huge part of the journey I went on unpacking my concept of gender, as a trans man. Something about the way the characters exhibit feminine traits while still being undeniably masculine made it feel like the show was holding my hand while I settled into myself, if that makes sense.

So local nonbinary Jojo fan and Prince Stan here. Those lyrics for I Would Die 4 U are not about gender and I wish people would really stop trying to queer code Prince as he literally beefed with Michael Jackson because he's homophobic(I can acknowledge that Prince was a terrible person). I Would Die 4 U he was speaking from the perspective of god/jesus. He was raised pentecostal and was very religious. If you listen to the entire song, at the end he even says "I'm the messiah and you're the reason why". He was literally talking about god/jesus the whole time. PLEASE as a queer fan of his, please stop queer coding him. He was homophobic to the point he even did what he could to embarass his lesbian bandmates. He wanted NOTHING to do with the community he just did not care about the aspects of gender considering he had multiple personas and not all of them were men. It's why he recalled The Black Album. He thought that persona he was channeling at the time that he felt was a woman was an evil persona so he stopped all production and recalled it. Once again, he is not queer. Just disturbed and didn't see gender as a boundary.

I absolutely loved this video and found your analysis of masculinity in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure incredibly insightful! The way you explored how different aspects of the manga challenge traditional stereotypes was really great. However, I couldn't help but notice a missed opportunity to discuss Part 5, where Jojo's characters are women yet still embody the same characteristics and traits typically associated with male protagonists, and also the almost same body type and fashion style? I think adding this perspective could deepen the analysis and provide even more nuance to the exploration of masculinity within the series. Overall, fantastic video, and I'm looking forward to seeing more content like this in the future! 🎩🔥

I'll be honest, Jojo made me feel more comfortable with dressing up way more flamboyantly than ever before. I've always liked the flashy and unapologetic fashion, but didn't have the balls for it. My confidence has never been higher than after when I became a Jojo fan. It's like my brain chemistery was altered, especially after part 5! Fuck them gender norms for real.

I really enjoyed your conclusion about how we really can have the best of both worlds, or a variety of masculinity being represented. It gets easy to box in what "being a man" is so leaving it open, and claiming we can have both macho men and in the same breath someone who is emotionally vulnerable speaks to that. There is no one-size fit all definition.
