This JJBA trivia quiz has 120 free questions with answers on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, from Jonathan Joestar and the Stone Mask in Phantom Blood to Jodio and the Lava Rock in The JoJoLands. It covers all nine parts of Hirohiko Araki's manga, the David Production anime, the 1993 OVA, the live-action film and the video games, plus the odd corners of the franchise like Rohan at the Louvre and Gucci. The easy questions are for anyone who has finished the anime: whose Stand is Star Platinum, where Stardust Crusaders is heading, what Killer Queen does. The harder ones go after details only a real JoJo fan remembers: Gyro Zeppeli's real name, which Sex Pistols number is missing, what Made in Heaven was called during serialization, which battle Stroheim died at, and the novel Araki borrowed the two-family rivalry from. There is a mix of manga lore, production trivia and Stand mechanics, so it works whether you came in through the anime or the tankōbon. Every answer has been checked against a reference page and each question shows its source once you answer, so if you disagree with a call, you can see exactly where it came from.
