When you hear the phrase, "everyone is here," your mind may go straight to Super Smash Bros. However, suppose you're a fan of the long-running Shōnen Jump series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. This phrase is more appropriate for the re-launched JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R. Over fifty characters represent the gamut of the manga's eight parts!

However, if you're new to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, all of these characters, spanning an over hundred-year storyline with two alternate timelines, are a lot to digest. Fortunately, we compiled a list of each character, their skills, and a summary of the arc from which they originate. We even noted characters added for the remaster!

Updated March 28th, 2023, by Chris Sanfilippo: Our latest update adds Season 1's fifth DLC character, Keicho Nijimura. Keicho is Okuyasu's older brother who yields a Stand of small soldiers in JJBA Part 4: Diamond Is Unbreakable!

Unfortunately, while Dio Brando plays the ultimate gentleman, he secretly tortures Jonathan Joestar, his new brother and heir to the Joestar fortune. After embracing the vampiric powers of a mysterious stone mask, Dio Brando murders Jonathan's father, George Joestar, and amasses an army of the night. But, with the help of a mysterious mentor, Jonathan learns the secrets of Hamon and pursues Dio to avenge his father's death.
