A masterpiece with the theme of a hymn to humanity! Famous quotes from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (1–10)
“Resolve” is to carve open the path you must advance along through the wasteland of darkness!Giorno Giovanna
These are words Giorno said to make Mista, who seemed desperate and on the verge of giving up after a hard struggle, rethink his approach.
He says that charging in with a willingness to be a sacrifice is not what resolve means; true resolve is cutting a path forward and advancing yourself.
Even in a situation like a pitch-black darkness where you can’t see ahead, it reminds us that it’s important not to give up, to devise a plan, and to keep moving forward.
It’s a line that conveys there is no value in a resolve that throws away one’s life, while also evoking a sense of hope for the future.
With belief, nothing is impossible for humans! Humans can grow! I’ll prove it!Jonathan Joestar
These are Jonathan Joestar’s powerful words, telling us that as long as we hold fast to our convictions, we can grow and accomplish anything.
Because they’re spoken in the midst of a battle against vampires—beings portrayed as surpassing humans—they make us feel the potential of humanity all the more strongly.
Humans are creatures who grow, and for that growth, conviction is essential; he’s urging us to keep walking forward with our beliefs and never be defeated.
The phrase “I’ll make it happen” is also a striking point, underscoring his determination to grow and face the challenge head-on from here.
However, I refuse.Rohan Kishibe
This line conveys Rohan Kishibe’s determination to stick to his own beliefs, never bending his convictions no matter the circumstances.
He says it when offered terms in exchange for his survival; while he understands the proposal, he deliberately answers with a simple refusal.
Embedded in those few words is also Rohan’s perverse side—the pleasure he takes in saying “NO” to someone who until now has always gotten their way through force.
It’s a line that expresses a way of life that prioritizes his pride over even the risk to his life.
“The shortest route was the long way around.” “Taking the long way was the fastest path of all.”Gyro Zeppeli
Even if it felt like we took the long way around, that was actually the shortest route—so said Gyro Zeppeli in a line that evokes “more haste, less speed.” Grounded in lived experience, his words carry persuasive weight.
Spoken to his companions, the line conveys warmth and gratitude for the memories they’ve built together, and it also hints at a renewed resolve to accomplish even more from here on.
Do you remember how many slices of bread you’ve eaten up until now?Dio Brando
This is a line Dio coldly spat out in response to Zeppeli’s question after seeing Dio’s wounds heal.
It conveys the idea that a vampire needs human blood to recover, and that to him, humans are nothing more than a meal.
He says that everyday meals aren’t considered “lives,” so how many lives he’s taken is nothing he needs to think about.
It strongly conveys his utter disregard for human life—words that show he has become a vampire in both body and soul.
Don’t answer a question with another question! Do they teach you at school to respond to interrogative sentences with interrogative sentences?Kira Yoshikage
These are the lines Kira Yoshikage delivers when he gets angry at Minako, who, confused by the situation he created, keeps responding to his questions with more questions.
It’s an unreasonable imposition of his belief that, even in an unacceptable situation—like having your boyfriend blown to pieces—you should still properly answer the other person’s questions.
The way he lectures at length with cold hard logic in an impossible situation also conveys just how unsettling a character Kira Yoshikage is.
If you look only at the words without imagining a scene like this one, you might even find yourself sympathizing with the viewpoint.
The path is something you carve out for yourself.Jotaro Kujo
This is a quote from Jotaro Kujo that says the path you take isn’t decided by someone else—you think for yourself and carve it out on your own.
He escapes a desperate situation with quick thinking, and the words he says then carry a sense of confidence that he can handle things his own way.
In the story he literally forces a path open with physical strength, but it also feels like advice to keep your mindset facing forward.
It makes you feel that strong resolve and the courage to take a single step ahead are what truly lead to the future.
