JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is known for its iconic poses, memes, and stands. It won't be an exaggeration to say that a lot of people started watching JoJo just because they wanted to understand the memes cause that's what cultured people do. Anyway, the focus of our discussion is stands.
Stands are a visual manifestation of a person's life energy. Each stand has a different power. Stands are broadly classified into two types— Close range and long range. Close range stands have a short-range, but they pack a serious punch. On the other hand, long range stands can operate in a wider range, but they are not-so-accurate and they lack power. In this post, we will be discussing the strongest long-range stands.
10 Highway Star
Highway Star is the stand of Fungami Yuya. Despite its shady appearance, Highway Star can become a very powerful stand if used properly. However, the stand requires some specifics to be met before it can attack a person.
The stand creates a room and if any person enters the room, the stand picks up their "scent." This allows Highway Star to chase the person for as long as it likes. Once the stand catches the person, it can suck out all the nutrients from their body and leave them defenseless.
9 Sex Pistols
Guido Mista is a top-notch marksman and he has proven it time and time again. He is a member of Team Bucciarati. Mista's stand is Sex Pistols. It is not a giant humanoid stand like most of the other stands instead it is stand made up of six entities.
These entities control the bullets when Mista fires them, which allows Mista to hit targets that are normally not possible to hit in a fight.
8 Aerosmith
Aerosmith has a very wide range and it is capable of causing a lot of damage with its artillery. The stand possesses machine guns and bombs that can blow an enemy to smithereens. Another unique ability of Aerosmith is its ability to scout.
It looks for carbon dioxide emissions and in this way, Aerosmith can locate its target. Narancia had great control over Aerosmith and he was able to use it to the fullest extent of his powers.
7 Hierophant Green
The user of this stand Mr. Donut aka Kakyoin. Hierophant Green was introduced in Stardust Crusaders. It is one of the most versatile stands in the entire series. First of all, it is great for scouting.
As seen in the fight vs DIO, Kakyoin could set up a network of strings and if anyone breaks even one of these strings, Kakyoin would immediately know their location. Hierophant Green is not great when it comes to close-range combat, but it can be effective from long range.
6 Man in the Mirror
Man in the Mirror is the stand of Illuso. It is easily among the most difficult stands fo defend against unless the opponent is on guard 24/7. Man in the Mirror can use any reflecting surface to work. Illuso can order his stand to drag in anyone that he wants.
Once the person is dragged inside the mirror world, they are left defenseless as Illuso can prevent the victim's stand from entering the mirror world, which makes Man in the Mirror the only stand in the mirror world and thus, making it invincible.
5 Whitesnake
Enrico Pucci is a very lucky man. He got to try out different forms of his stand once he evolved it. Whitesnake is the base form of Pucci's extremely powerful stand. Whitesnake is a long-range stand that doesn't have a lot of power. The stand is able to work from a distance of 20 meters.
While the stand doesn't have much power, it is very effective when used against unsuspecting opponents. The stand allows Pucci to take out two discs from his opponents. The first is the stand disc and the second one is the memory disc. Taking the stand disc allows it to take the stand of a person and if the memory disc is taken away then all the memories of the person can be accessed by Pucci.
4 Marilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson is the stand of Miraschon. It is a stand from Stone Ocean. If the person, who is in possession of the stand, is a smart person then they could wreak havoc. The stand is based on betting and it requires Miraschon to make a bet with a person.
If the person loses the bet then Marilyn Manson activates and it takes the amount that was put on the line. If the victim doesn't have the amount they have bet, Marilyn Manson takes something of equal value in return. Also, once the stand is activated, it can't be stopped unless the user calls it back.
3 The Grateful Dead
The Grateful Dead is one of the coolest stands in the series. The Grateful Dead has the ability to accelerate aging in people. This ability can be used over a wide area and there is no way to reverse the process, however, the process can be slowed down.
The user of this stand is Prosciutto. The best way to use his stand is by directly touching a person. This makes aging significantly faster, however, Prosciutto isn't limited to close range, he can use it over a wide area, but that is dangerous to his allies as well. The stand is pretty decent when it comes to close-range combat.
2 Red Hot Chili Pepper
Red Hot Chili Pepper is a stand from JJBA: Diamond Is Unbreakable. The user of this stand is Otoishi Akira. Red Hot Chili Pepper can be both destructive and weak as its power depends on the supply of electricity. If there is a huge source of electricity then Red Hot Chili Pepper can land incredibly power blows on the opponents.
At full power, the stand is capable of overwhelming Josuke's Crazy Diamond. The stand also has a huge range. It can move from one source to another without any problem and this makes it tough to find its user.
1 C-Moon
Finally, at the top of the list, we have C-Moon. C-Moon is a stand from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean. C-Moon is the evolved form of Whitesnake. The stand belongs to Enrico Pucci. C-Moon is the first step towards achieving "heaven." C-Moon is a really powerful stand as it grants the user the power to manipulate gravity.
It also has the ability of surface inversion and even one hit from the stand can prove to be dangerous. The stand also has the ability to accelerate time, but not on a large scale like Made in Heaven. C-Moon is a really dangerous stand and its long range makes it even more troublesome to deal with.
