Jump Force Finally Gets Bizarre.
Following a leak on the Bandai-Namco Instagram last week, Jump Magazine has confirmed that Jotaro and DIO join Jump Force as playable characters.
Jotaro is the main protagonist of of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders, and DIO is the central antagonist of the same part of the long running series. Fans have been waiting for JoJo representation pretty much since the announcement of Jump Force with Jotaro and DIO actually being the most requested characters from the franchise, and last week’s leak of Jotaro was extremely underwhelming for fans who were hoping for a dramatic reveal fitting of the character.

As well as getting a visual look at Jotaro and DIO, we also got a quick description of their moves. Jotaro will be able to summon his powerful stand [Star Platinum], as well as throwing down a flurry of punches while shouting his iconic “ORA ORA ORA!” phrase that will require button mashing and end in a powerful finishing move. As for DIO, he’ll have his “MUDA MUDA!!” rush attack as well as be able to summon a road roller as per the iconic scene in the manga and anime. There’s no word on what DIO’s stand [The World] will do – but if you’re familiar with DIO you might be able to take a guess what it’ll do!
With just a few short weeks until the game launches, it’s possible that there could still be one or two more reveals coming. Are there any Jump characters you still want to see now that Jotaro and Dio join Jump Force? Let us know in the comments below!
Jump Force is launching on Feburary 15th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
