Although every part ofJoJo’s Bizarre Adventurehas its fans, there is an overwhelming majority of readers that have a clear favorite among each section. Most fans believe that Part 7: Steel Ball Run is the peak of the story, eclipsing any other part of the story from the old universe that came before it. Still, since each part before, including Part 1, is beloved by the community in general and possesses its own group of fans, overall it’s really hard to pin down whichJoJo’sparts the fan base doesn’t like.
Outside of Part 1, which suffers from a lot of the series’ growing pains, at one point in time, a little before it received an anime release, many fans regarded Part 6 as the worst part of the series. However, as time passed, and with the help of an adaptation, more and more fans grew to appreciate Part 6 in a multitude of different ways. Still, this initial hatred has left many fans wondering why the part left a bad taste in the mouths ofmanyJoJo’s Bizarre Adventurefans.

By the end of the part, after amassing a group of allies and uncovering Pucci’s plot to reset and change the universe in order to attain Heaven, the main cast confronts the priest. However, unlike the previous parts, Pucci ends up defeating the entire group, killing everyone,including Jotaro and Jolyne, except for Emporio, who escapes to the new universe and defeats Pucci. Still, despite the universe resetting, since Jolyne and her friends died before the transfer to the new universe, they are replaced with nearly identical people who live similar lives in a new universe.
Some Fans Were Put off By The Finale
Too Much Change Happened Too Quickly
Firstly, one of the main things that fans initially didn’t like about the part was the finale, which acted as a sort of send-off tothe originalJoJo’suniverse. For some, this was too large of an event that killed off some of the most beloved characters in the series, as well as almost completely ruining any chances of a future part in the original timeline. Overall, this big finale was just too much for someJoJo’sfans to handle.
At the same time, other fans weren’t happy with the characters of Part 6, citing that they were weaker than previous parts. For some members of the community, Pucci and Jolyne lacked interesting motivations of their own, withthe iconic JoJo’s characters, Dio and Jotaro,respectively, causing most of their actions in the part. At the same time, many other fans thought the protagonist and antagonist of Part 6 were just as interesting as any other part, with some going as far as to accuse other fans of disliking Jolyne simply because she is a woman in a show that is often dominated by men.
Part 6 Was Also The Send-Off Of The Original Universe
Fans Needed More Time Before They Could Accept The Change
Overall, Part 6 showed that many fans ofJoJo’s Bizarre Adventureweren’t ready for things to change. With many things, including style and the entire universe changing after Part 6, it seems like many fans blamed Part 6 for killing off the original universe. Still, at the same time, Part 7 became widely regarded asthe bestJoJo’spartsoon after, showing that all fans needed was a bit of time to become acclimated to the changes.
