The sheer creativity of the world-building and designs is very inspiring. It's one of the best parts of JoJo because of how unique it is.

Not to mention the ever-evolving art-style (there's a reason Araki got to design stuff for Gucci and have his work displayed at the Louvre).

And the most under-appreciated aspect of JoJo is how every Part is packed with interesting cultural knowledge. Araki really loves travelling and observing other cultures and that made JoJo such a rich and Universal series because of how it reflected his love for these cultures. He stands out among other Mangas authors because rather than every character he writes being a Japanese high-schooler, they are Oliver Twist Vampires and Italian Martial Artists and Aztec Gods and Nazi Cyborgs and more. And all of them had some kind of trivia about their own culture (Britain's lower-class living conditions, Aztec sacrificies etc.).
