Diamond Is Unbreakable (Japanese: ダイヤモンドは砕けない, Hepburn: Daiyamondo wa Kudakenai, sometimes translated as Diamond Is Not Crash[2]) is the fourth story arc of the Japanese manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. It was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump for a little more than 31⁄2 years, from April 21, 1992 to November 13, 1995, with the 174 chapters collected into eighteen tankōbon volumes. In its original publication, it was titled JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4: Jōsuke Higashikata.[a] It was preceded by Stardust Crusaders and followed by Golden Wind.

This arc is notable for introducing the Stand Arrow, which causes anyone pierced by it to develop a Stand if they are mentally strong enough. The Arrow was retroactively revealed to be the source of DIO's stand as well as the Joestar family's stands. The arc was adapted into an anime television series by David Production, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable, that began in April 2016.[3] A live-action film adaptation by Toho and Warner Bros. titled JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable Chapter I was released on August 4, 2017. Viz Media released the manga in English in a nine-volume compiled format from 2019 to 2021.[4]

Plot[]

In 1999, in the town of Morioh[b] located in S-City, M-Prefecture,[c] a freshman named Koichi Hirose meets a man looking for Josuke Higashikata,[d] local high school student. Josuke, who is the illegitimate child of Joseph Joestar, soon encounters the man, who introduces himself as Jotaro Kujo. Josuke reveals that he possesses the Stand Crazy Diamond, which has the ability to return any object or living creature to a previous state (though he cannot use it on himself or revive the deceased with it). After Jotaro inadvertently insults Josuke's outdated hairstyle, the two fight, with Jotaro explaining to Josuke he is one of many Stand users and that he is searching for the Bow and Arrow, an artifact that creates Stands. Josuke and Koichi eventually come across a pair of Stand-using brothers, Okuyasu and Keicho Nijimura. Keicho, the older brother, shoots Koichi with the Arrow, which nearly kills him. When Josuke heals Koichi with Crazy Diamond, he develops a Stand, Echoes. After Keicho and Okuyasu are defeated, Keicho is killed by the Stand Red Hot Chili Pepper, which takes the Bow and Arrow. Okuyasu then joins Josuke's group to avenge his brother, encountering several other Stand users before they eventually find and defeat Akira Otoishi, Red Hot Chili Pepper's user, as Joseph arrives in Morioh. The Bow and Arrow are taken into Jotaro's custody and all seems to be over for the moment.

Soon afterward, after Josuke tries spending time with Joseph, the group encounters other Stand users such as eccentric manga artist Rohan Kishibe, middle schooler Shigekiyo "Shigechi" Yangu, and an beautician named Aya Tsuji. Koichi and Rohan later stumble across the mysterious Ghost Alley, where they meet the ghosts of Reimi Sugimoto and her dog Arnold; They learn that Reimi and Arnold were murdered a decade ago by a serial killer who is still lurking in Morioh. The culprit is eventually revealed to be a handsome office worker named Yoshikage Kira, who seeks to satisfy his murderous urges while living a peaceful, quiet life. Kira has acquired a Stand named Killer Queen, which has the ability to turn anything it touches into a bomb. He is discovered by Shigechi, who he promptly murders, but his impulsive cover-up leads to a brief battle with Jotaro and Koichi in which Kira is injured and later cornered by Josuke and Okuyasu. Facing certain defeat, Kira uses Aya's Stand to assume the identity of a man named Kosaku Kawajiri, kills them both, and disappears. Kira's father Yoshihiro, a ghost who uses his Stand to live on in a photo, uses a second Bow and Arrow to create an army of Stand users to protect his son, including a dying cat that reincarnated as a Stand-plant hybrid named Stray Cat, which shoots bubbles of compressed air at its target.

Kosaku Kawajiri's son Hayato begins to suspect that his father has been replaced by an impostor and confronts Kira, who responds by impulsively murdering Hayato. While panicking that he will be discovered, Kira is pierced by Yoshihiro's Arrow a second time, giving Kira's Stand a new ability which revives Hayato. The following morning, Hayato is approached by Rohan, who is investigating whether Kira has assumed Kosaku Kawajiri's identity. After using his Stand to read Hayato's memories, Rohan is blown up by a miniature version of Killer Queen, which had been implanted into Hayato; Hayato suddenly finds himself back in bed on the same morning, one hour earlier. Kira explains that he has used Killer Queen's new ability Bites the Dust, which kills anyone who asks Hayato for Kira's identity and then rewinds time by one hour, with the victim's fate assured regardless of Hayato's attempts to prevent it. The next loop ends with Josuke, Jotaro, Okuyasu, and Koichi all exploding as well; Hayato wakes up once again, and realizes that he must get Kira to deactivate Bites the Dust within an hour in order to prevent the others' deaths from becoming permanent. Hayato realizes that Killer Queen and Bites the Dust cannot be used at the same time, and takes advantage of his solitary knowledge of the time loops to wake Josuke up early and arrange for him to overhear Kira blowing his cover. Kira is forced to use Killer Queen to defend himself, which cancels Bites the Dust just in time to save Josuke and his allies.

Josuke, with help from Hayato and Okuyasu, engages Kira in a pitched battle. Kira combines his Stand's powers with Stray Cat to create invisible projectile bombs. Josuke and Hayato hide in a house, but Kira plants Yoshihiro's photo into Hayato's pocket, allowing him to detect Josuke's location without being able to see him. However, his trick is exposed and Josuke mimics Yoshihiro's voice, tricking Kira into detonating his own father. Meanwhile, Okuyasu separates Stray Cat from Killer Queen, disabling Kira's projectile bombs. As Jotaro, Koichi, and Rohan arrive on the scene, Kira attempts to use a nearby paramedic to activate Bites the Dust and rewind time once more, but he is stopped in the nick of time by Jotaro with assistance from Koichi. An arriving ambulance accidentally crushes Kira's head, killing him, and in the afterlife, Kira is confronted by Reimi, who causes his soul to be dragged into the underworld. Her mission accomplished, Reimi gives the group her final farewells and moves on to the afterlife. The next day, Josuke bids farewell to Jotaro and Joseph, who leave Morioh as the summer of 1999 draws to a close.

Characters[]

See also: List of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure characters § Part 4: Diamond Is Unbreakable_2
  • Josuke Higashikata[e] is the illegitimate son of Joseph Joestar. He is a freshman who lives in the town of Morioh with his mother and grandfather. His Stand is Crazy Diamond,[f] which can not only punch rapidly, but also restore objects to their original state or rearrange their structure, allowing him to heal injuries, erase written documents, or revert complex structures to their raw components. However, Crazy Diamond has no effect when used on Josuke himself. Despite normally being kind and friendly, Josuke becomes especially enraged if anyone insults his pompadour hairstyle, which he adopted after a delinquent with the hairstyle saved him and his mother during a blizzard. This is demonstrated for the first time, after he punches an upperclassman, and incorrectly heals his face for insulting his hair.
  • Koichi Hirose[g] is Josuke's and Okuyasu's best friend and is also a freshman in high school, but appears as a short boy. His Stand is Echoes,[h] which has three distinct "ACTs". ACT1 and ACT2 can replicate sound effects and attach them to anything, which result in that happening to the object (e.g. attaching the word "whoosh" causes a gust of wind to blow by) while ACT3 doesn't lose the former abilities but sacrifices its long range to gain the ability "3-Freeze", which dramatically increases the weight of a target. Koichi gains access to each ACT as he grows throughout the story, ultimately gaining ACT3 in the first battle with Kira.
  • Okuyasu Nijimura[i] is one of the two Nijimura brothers who became friends with Josuke Higashikata and Koichi Hirose after encountering a Stand user who murdered his brother. His Stand is The Hand,[j] which can erase whatever it swipes with its right hand and can even be used to erase space, drawing objects closer to Okuyasu. Though the ability is incredibly versatile and powerful, Okuyasu's subpar intelligence prevents him from using it to its fullest potential.
  • Jotaro Kujo[k] is an aspiring marine biologist who travels to Morioh to find his grandfather's illegitimate son, Josuke Higashikata, who is technically Jotaro's uncle despite Jotaro being older than him, as well as investigate the crimes of a Stand user. His Stand is Star Platinum,[l] which compensates for its short range with incredible strength, speed, and precision, as well as the ability Star Platinum: The World, which lets Jotaro temporarily stop the flow of time. It is implied in his first battle with Kira that he is suffering from PTSD due to the events of Stardust Crusaders.
  • Joseph Joestar[m] is Josuke's father and Jotaro's grandfather. His Stand is Hermit Purple[n], which manifests in the form of multipurpose thorny purple vines that allow him to divine information through electrical equipment or be utilized as ropes. Now in his late 70's, Joseph is incredibly feeble and senile.
  • Rohan Kishibe[o] is a famous manga artist who recently moved into a house in Morioh. His Stand Heaven's Door,[p] allows him to temporarily turn a person into a book, with all of their memories written down akin to a novel. Rohan can read the memories, learn their weaknesses and secrets, as well as write down commands that they must follow (usually writing that enemies cannot attack him). The power typically activates when the target sees Rohan's drawn artwork, but can also activate if Rohan draws something in the air with his finger. Rohan also stars in his own spin-off one-shot series by Araki called Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan.
  • Keicho Nijimura[q] is Okuyasu's elder brother who caused the outbreak of Stand users in Morioh to create one whose Stand can end the suffering of their father after he was mutated by Dio Brando into a monstrous, handicapped being with rapid regeneration. Keicho was later killed by Akira Otoishi when saving his brother from an attack by the guitarist's stand. Keicho's Stand Bad Company[r] is an army of toy soldiers.
  • Anjuro Katagiri,[s] also known as "Angelo",[t] is a depraved serial killer with an IQ of 160. Originally on death row for various acts of murder and sexual assault, including staging a post-mortem ransom for a young boy, Angelo is made a Stand User by Keicho and uses his water-based Stand Aqua Necklace[u] to escape captivity and resume his killing spree in Morioh before ultimately confronting Josuke, murdering the youth's grandfather before being fused by Crazy Diamond's powers into a stone that becomes Morioh's tourist attraction Angelo Rock.[v]
  • Yukako Yamagishi[w] is a high school student who develops an obsessive crush on Koichi. She kidnaps him and tries to form him into a "better man" by taking drastic measures to improve his grades. Koichi defends himself with the help of Echoes ACT2 and Yukako instead decides to admire Koichi from afar. However she soon sinks into depression and learns of a beauty salon named Cinderella from Joseph Joestar, which she uses to help rekindle her relationship with Koichi. Afterwards, she and Koichi become a couple. Her Stand is Love Deluxe[x], which is bound to her hair, allowing her grow her hair to long lengths to freely manipulate it.
  • Akira Otoishi[y] is an aspiring rock star guitarist. His Stand is Red Hot Chili Pepper ,[z] which draws its powers from electricity and can travel through various electrical outlets. He acquired his Stand after being shot with the Arrow by Keicho Nijimura.
  • Yoshikage Kira[aa] is a hand-obsessed, mild-mannered serial killer who has been murdering women for more than 15 years. His Stand, Killer Queen,[ab] has the ability to create a bomb out of whatever it touches—including living people—allowing him to eliminate any evidence of his crimes. Kira has access to three bombs—the standard "Primary Bomb", a mobile heat-seeking "Secondary Bomb" known as Sheer Heart Attack, and a time-looping "Tertiary Bomb" known as Bites the Dust.
  • Yoshihiro Kira[ac] is the ghost of Kira's father whose Stand Atom Heart Father[ad] allows him to remain among the living to protect Kira from within a photograph. Having acquired a Bow and Arrow from Enya prior to moving to Morioh, Yoshihiro uses the arrow to create Stand users in an attempt to keep Josuke's group away from Kira.
  • Mikitaka Hazekura[ae] is a strange individual who claims that he is an alien. He befriends Josuke and Okuyasu, and occasionally helps them out. Mikitaka uses the ability Earth Wind and Fire,[af] allowing him to shapeshift into inanimate objects. It's ambiguous whether or not Mikitaka is actually an alien, or a normal human- additionally, it is unclear whether or not Earth Wind and Fire is a Stand or a similar ability.
  • Stray Cat,[ag] a cat-like plant Stand that is a reincarnation of a cat named Tama[ah] which was accidentally killed after being hit by the Arrow. It has the ability to shoot compressed air, which Kira exploits late in the story to create invisible projectile bombs.
  • Reimi Sugimoto[ai] is Yoshikage Kira's first victim. She was killed 15 years before the happenings of the manga, and waited as a ghost for someone whom she could warn about her killer.
  • Hayato Kawajiri[aj] is a shy and intelligent schoolboy who realized his father Kosaku Kawajiri was murdered by Kira when the killer assumed his identity. Though Kira decided to use the boy as a means to kill Josuke's group, Hayato ended up being the killer's downfall. Hayato does not have a Stand of his own, but he winds up being the host of Killer Queen: Bites the Dust, resulting in anyone who tries to interrogate Hayato about Kira's current whereabouts spontaneously exploding, followed by time rewinding an hour.
  • Antonio Trussardi[ak] is a talented Italian chief who runs a restaurant called "Trattoria Trussardi". He first encounters Josuke and Okuyasu when they are paying a visit to the grave of Keicho. His Stand is called Pearl Jam,[al] which allows to cure, heal and strengthen a person, though it destroys whatever organ its healing first, giving off a gruesome impression. This Stand is different from the other Stands as it is born from Tonio's zeal to perfect his culinary arts rather than by an Arrow, hence he uses it mostly for his cooking methods. Still, after Yoshikage Kira's rage, he is informed and carefully follows Josuke's advice. It is later discovered that he is the biological older brother of Massimo Volpe (who is responsible for developing Passione's drug trade that will influence Golden Wind), and his real name is Antonio Volpe, before dropping his paternal surname due to being stripped by his father over antiquated ideals of class.

Production[]

Diamond Is Unbreakable is set in the fictional town of Morioh located in S-City, M-Prefecture, which is modeled after a specific area in Hirohiko Araki's hometown of Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture.[5] The author said that the suspense and fear caused by the "unusual" and "mysterious" residents there were his inspiration.[6] Although he originally intended for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure to be a "mythical" manga with superpowers and such, he enjoyed drawing the "feeling of everyday life" in Diamond Is Unbreakable.[6] Because he wanted to create a "closed city," the Stands featured were not proactively attacking.[6]

During Diamond Is Unbreakable's serialization, Araki received feedback from readers who felt that enemies in the manga had gotten weak.[7] Although he usually does not respond to reader opinions, he had heard similar comments from the editorial team and so made an exception by stating that "the weaknesses inside the hearts of people" are a thematic element of Part 4. He explained that sometimes he has a character's inner weaknesses drive them into a desperate situation, while other times he turns the weakness into something "dreadful" and bases a Stand off of it. Araki wrote that constantly having stronger and stronger enemies appear in a manga eventually leads you to "trying to think of the farthest edges of the universe", but in the real world, "true strength is found in not doing bad things. An enemy who does bad things is a person with an inner weakness."[7]

With Part 4 of the series, Araki said that he moved away from "muscle men" as they fell out of popularity with his readers and he wanted to focus more on fashion. When designing his characters' outfits, Araki considers both everyday fashion and "cartoonish, bizarre clothing that would be impractical in real life." He also forgoes using specific color schemes for his characters and gives his readers different impressions through various color combinations.[8] Araki said that while he drew several characters in Parts 1 through 3 naked to evoke Greek or Roman gods, he stopped doing it so much with Part 4 to be a "bit closer to home."[9] Because he is the "friend next door" instead of being similar to a hero in a Greek myth like the protagonists of the previous parts, Araki cited Josuke Higashikata as his favorite character in Diamond Is Unbreakable.[6] He cited Shigekiyo Yangu's Harvest as his favorite Stand from Part 4, because, although he finds his "flaws and trashiness adorable," the character picks up stuff off of the ground which is "pretty scary."[6]

Despite the prevalent belief that the manga artist character Rohan Kishibe is believed to be Araki's self-insert, the author revealed that he did not model Rohan after himself, but is fascinated by him. He said that unlike Rohan, he values human life more than art.[6]

In 2000, it was announced that Otsuichi would be writing a novel based on Part 4. The novel proved difficult to complete; in Kono Mystery ga Sugoi 2004, Otsuichi claimed to have written over 2000 pages, but thrown them all out.[55] Intent on writing a novel that lived up to the manga, it took him until 2007 before The Book: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 4th Another Day was finally released on November 26.[56] It is set after the events in the manga, and includes illustrations by Araki.

In 1997, Araki published the Weekly Shōnen Jump one-shot Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe ~Episode 16.. Confessional~, starring Rohan after the events of Part 4. In 1999 he wrote the three-chapter story Dead Man's Questions[an] in Allman magazine. Dead Man's Questions stars Yoshikage Kira, the main antagonist of Part 4. Both Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe and Dead Man's Questions were later compiled in Araki's one-shot collection, Under Jailbreak, Under Execution, in 1999. The former launched a series starring Rohan, Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan.

The issue of Jump Square for December 11, 2007, featured a second entry into the Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe collection, entitled Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe ~Mutsukabezaka~, set seven years after the events of Part IV.

In 2009, Araki wrote the full-color story Rohan au Louvre.[ao] The short story was displayed at the Musée du Louvre as part of their 2009 Le Louvre invite la bande dessinée exhibit.[57] The story was later republished in Ultra Jump in 2010. In 2012, Rohan au Louvre was released in English by NBM Publishing under the translated title Rohan at the Louvre.

In 2011, Araki collaborated with the renowned Italian fashion brand Gucci for the short story Rohan Kishibe Goes to Gucci[ap] in the women's fashion magazine Spur.[58]

In 2012, Araki wrote a third Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe one-shot for Weekly Shōnen Jump. Entitled Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe ~Episode 5: Millionaire Village~ it was released in the October 6, 2012 issue of the magazine.[59]

In October 2015, Warner Bros. announced that Part 4 would receive an anime television adaptation that serves as a continuation of David Production's series adaptation.[60] The series aired in 2016.[3]

Toho and Warner Bros. partnered to produce a live-action film based on the fourth arc of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure that was released on August 4, 2017. Takashi Miike directed the film that stars Kento Yamazaki as Josuke. Both studios planned for worldwide distribution and, with a title of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable Chapter I, are hoping to create sequels.[61][62] However, the film under-performed at the box office, leaving the possibility of future sequels in doubt.[63]

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 クレイジ���・Dの悪霊的失恋（クレイジーダイヤモンドノアクリョウテキシツレン）, JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken Kureijī Daiyamondo no Akuryō-teki Shitsuren), a spin-off manga set in Diamond Is Unbreakable's Morioh, began serialization in the December 2021 issue of Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Ultra Jump on December 18, 2021. It is written by Kouhei Kadono and illustrated by Tasuku Karasuma.[64]

Reception[]

In a 2018 survey of 17,000 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fans, Diamond Is Unbreakable was chosen as the second favorite story arc with 17.5% of the vote.[65]

Anime News Network had both Rebecca Silverman and Faye Hopper review the first volume of Diamond Is Unbreakable. Silverman called the beginning slower and not as instantly engrossing as the previous parts, but felt this allowed Josuke, whom she and Hopper both described as kinder than the previous protagonists, to develop as a character. Hopper stated that Diamond Is Unbreakable is sometimes criticized for a "lack of a strong narrative throughline" in comparison to other parts, but argued that this is one of its greatest strengths as it allows the main characters to "simply be, lending them an amiable humanity that none of the over-the-top archetypes in the first 3 Parts ever had."[66]
