List of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Deaths

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is often noted for the amount of casualties and fatalities that occurs throughout the series, having explored almost every form of natural and unnatural causes of death.

Part 1

 * Danny is burnt alive by an unsuspecting servant, when Dio places him in box put in the incinerator.
 * When Dio attempts to kill Jonathan with a knife to activate the Stone Mask, George Joestar I takes the blow. While Dio becomes a Vampire, George admits his mistreatment of his son, then dies in Jonathan's arms.
 * After being defeated by Jonathan, the Ripple sent to Bruford "frees his soul" allowing him to feel human again. He loses his hatred towards the world and is thankful for his chance to meet the honorable Jonathan. Moments before he disintegrates from the Ripple, Bruford gives Jonathan his sword, Luck and Pluck.
 * In his and Jonathan's fight against Bruford and Tarkus, Will Zeppeli dies to Tarkus to save Jonathan, but not before he transfers his Ripple powers to Jonathan. Due to Tonpetty's prediction of his death, William was fully aware of it, and for this motive he died without regret.
 * Dire faces Dio, only to be frozen by the latter's powers. He is then shattered into pieces, but shoots a Ripple infused rose at Dio as a head before being completely frozen and destroyed.
 * Jonathan Joestar's death at the end of Part 1 is very tragic as his only chance to finally have a happy life was ruined once again by Dio and also was the first time in the series that the main hero of his/her part died.

Part 2

 * Mark is killed when Wamuu passes by him, devouring half of his body. He dies peacefully when Caesar dulls the pain at his request.
 * Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli, who is ultimately defeated by Wamuu due to his overconfidence in close combat, uses the last ounce of his strength to take Wamuu's lip piercing that contains the antidote to the ring that Wamuu placed on Joseph's heart. He loops his headband through the ring and encases it in a bubble of blood held together by his Ripple, just before being crushed by a slab from the ceiling.
 * Loggins is killed by Esidisi when the latter impales the former with his foot. Posthumously, Loggins' body is used by Esidisi to demonstrate his ability, heating the corpse until it boils and simmers from the inside-out.
 * Esidisi dies by sunlight exposure after being weakened by Joseph and Caesar's Ripple. This being after the former manages to destroy his body, reducing him to a brain, thus forcing him to possess Suzi Q before being truly defeated.
 * Wamuu faces death after being worn down by Joseph's Ripple attacks, with the finishing blow being Caesar's headband. After being reduced to a head, he disintegrates into dust.
 * After Kars initially demonstrates the power of his Ripple on Joseph's body, he attempts to kill Joseph with that same Ripple. However, Joseph reflexively held up the Red Stone of Aja, causing Kars' attack to collide with the stone and unleash a surge of energy deep into the earth powerful enough to jumpstart a volcano which shoots Kars into space. Kars attempts to return, but the cold vacuum of space freezes his entire body before he could change course. Incapable of dying, he floated around space helplessly until he desired death, ultimately ceasing thought.
 * In the epilogue it is revealed Speedwagon dies of a heart attack and Rudol von Stroheim gets shot to death in the Battle Of Stalingrad

Part 3

 * Avdol is a rare case in the series as he was the only character to 'die twice'. The first time was when he was protecting Polnareff from Hol Horse's attack. Due to his popularity, the character rises again to defeat Cameo and it was revealed that instead of killing him, Hol Horse's bullet only skimmed his forehead and knocked him out. His second and actual death was at hands of Vanilla Ice who disintegrates his body with a surprise attack from his Stand, Cream.
 * Iggy, after losing his foot during his fight with Pet Shop, died from extremely over-exhaustion while saving Polnareff in the fight against Vanilla Ice.
 * Noriaki Kakyoin was very young when he died. He confronted DIO on his own and was defeated by The World, having been punched straight through the abdomen in a counterattack. Running away from home, his parents never knew where or how he died. His death was not in vain, as he was able to figure out the ability of DIO's Stand. Using the last of his strength, Hierophant Green destroyed a nearby clock tower in order to tell Joseph and the others about The World's ability to stop time.
 * Joseph Joestar briefly died when his throat is slit by a knife thrown by DIO, subsequently having his blood siphoned as a source of energy to power DIO into a more powerful form. After DIO's death, Joseph is brought back to life when Star Platinum manually pumps his heart as a blood transfusion is performed.
 * Vanilla Ice turns into a Vampire, despite not being aware of it. Polnareff taunts him into running into the sunlight of an open window, before having Silver Chariot push him completely into it, disintegrating him. In the OVA, Vanilla Ice is simply stabbed multiple times by Silver Chariot before getting the upper half of his head sliced clean off.
 * Gray Fly dies after Kakyoin kills his Stand.
 * Impostor Captain Tennille drowns after he destroys his own ship.
 * Forever is killed by Stat Platinum's punch barrage.
 * Devo is killed after Polnareff destroys his Stand, The Devil.
 * Nena dies after Joseph kills her Stand Empress.
 * Enya is assassinated by Steely Dan, who triggers a spore lodged inside of her by DIO.
 * J. Geil is stabbed to death by Polnareff as revenge for raping and murdering his sister. In the OVA, he is instead punched into barbed fence.
 * Caravan Serai is killed after being possessed by Anubis.
 * Pet Shop dies when Iggy bites his beak shut as he is charging an ice attack from his mouth, breaking it, but not before letting the sheer energy stored explode his head.
 * N'Doul kills himself by using Geb to strike through his head, correctly anticipating that he would be interrogated by Jotaro.
 * Nukesaku is sliced into pieces by DIO and left to die in his coffin.
 * Kenny G.'s stomach is torn open by Iggy's The Fool.
 * Wilson Phillips, after being tortured by DIO and having his teeth ripped out, is killed in a car crash caused by DIO, shortly after being forced to run over and kill countless innocent people on the streets of Cairo.
 * DIO, during a time stop, rips a cat in half.
 * After being countered with a Time Stop by Jotaro and Star Platinum, DIO aims a kick from The World at Jotaro. However, Star Platinum's fist connects with The World's leg, shattering the Stand and DIO with it; the resulting force and impact causes DIO's head and right arm to explode. What is left of the body is then brought to the Speedwagon Foundation and the blood is used to revive Joseph, after which his corpse, which technically is that of Jonathan Joestar is left in the desert to disintegrate come morning.

Part 4

 * Ryohei Higashikata was killed by Anjuro Katagiri after mistakenly drinking a bottle of whiskey which actually contained the Stand, Aqua Necklace.
 * Keicho Nijimura was killed by Red Hot Chili Pepper when he took an attack from the Stand to protect his brother, Okuyasu. He was electrocuted, and then pulled through an electrical outlet. His corpse laid fried on the wires of a utility pole.
 * Bug-Eaten was killed by Josuke who used Crazy Diamond to flick a bullet through its chest.
 * Shigekiyo Yangu was killed by Kira after seeing the hand in his lunchbag. However, one of his last Harvest's survived long enough to search Josuke, but it exploded as soon it found him.
 * Aya Tsuji is the second victim to be killed by Kira once she was forced to use her Cinderella to change and replace his identity with another man, she was already blown up by Killer Queen before she could tell Josuke and co. information about Kira's identity.
 * Tama was killed after falling on glass broken by Shinobu Kawajiri during an attempt to scare away the cat. It is later revived in the form of Stray Cat.
 * Yoshikage Kira is defeated by Star Platinum and Echoes Act 3, though is ultimately silenced when an ambulance ironically backs over his body. Kira is somehow existing as a spirit who doesn't know who he is and is just a vagabond. This is featured in the one shot, Dead Man's Questions.

Part 5

 * Leone Abbacchio is the first of Buccellati's Gang to die at the hand of Diavolo, or in this case, Doppio. As Abbacchio was using Moody Blues to track back to the time Diavolo was last seen in his town, Doppio, disguised as a passing kid playing soccer, kills Abbachio using King Crimson. His last-ditch effort starts Buccellati's Gang in finding the identity of The Boss.
 * Narancia was the second to die in Buccellati's Gang. His death was especially tragic as he wished to go back to school after their fight with The Boss. After Silver Chariot Requiem switches Narancia's body with Giorno's, Diavolo brutally murders Narancia by putting him within metal bars.
 * Buccellati has a weird fate. According to Rolling Stones, Buccellati would die peacefully a little after the beginning of the story. However, he was able to avoid this fate with the help of Mista by destroying Rolling Stones, even though this cost not only his life, but Leone Abbacchio's and Narancia Ghirga's lives as well. He died after his fight with Diavolo, but Giorno managed to bring his soul back with Gold Experience, leaving Buccellati as a walking dead unable to feel anything, including pain as shown when he doesn't notice a bone sticking out of his hand. In the final battle against Diavolo, Buccellati is able to stop Diavolo from piercing himself with the arrow, by stopping Silver Chariot's requiem ability and returning everyone's souls into their original bodies; after that, his soul is shown going to heaven.
 * Luca is assassinated by Passione, as The Boss saw Luca as not worth saving after Giorno put him in critical condition.
 * Sorbet and Gelato are captured by The Boss and tortured. Sorbet is cut into pieces and sealed inside many glass panels and Gelato kills himself by swallowing a cloth and suffocating.
 * Polpo accidentally shoots himself in the head after Giorno turns his gun into a banana.
 * Formaggio is burnt to a crisp by Narancia and shot to death by Aerosmith.
 * Illuso is killed by Purple Haze's toxins. Giorno comments that in his death, Illuso regretted every decision he ever made.
 * Prosciutto is killed by Bruno and shortly after, Bruno's Sticky Fingers rips Pesci to pieces.
 * Melone is bitten on the tongue by a poisonous snake controlled by Giorno and dies of the toxin.
 * Ghiaccio is impaled through the throat by a tree branch while fighting Giorno and Mista. He bleeds out and dies.
 * Tiziano kills himself so Squalo can harvest his blood.
 * Squalo is shot to death by Aerosmith.
 * Carne is gunned down by Guido.
 * Risotto Nero is shot by Aerosmith and bleeds out.
 * Cioccolata gets every bone in his body broken by Giorno and is thrown into a trash compactor.
 * Secco trips into a combustible trash truck and dies instantly.
 * Polnareff's death combined with Chariot Requiem's ability, gave him a second chance at life when his spirit was put into Coco Jumbo's body. While his human body had died, his soul is stuck in the turtle's body, thus he is still considered alive.
 * Due to the ability of Gold Experience Requiem, Diavolo is maybe the victim of the worst death in the entire series, having to die for eternity. It is assumed that he never actually "died" but is trapped in an infinite series of near death situations where he dies and then comes back to life only to die again.

Part 6

 * Johngalli A is shot in the head by Whitesnake, who frames it to be a suicide.
 * Sports Maxx is killed by Ermes Costello. He then becomes a zombie due to Limp Bizkit's power, and he is killed again by Ermes.
 * Anasui plants Diver Down into Guccio, who bursts out of his chest and destroys his ribcage. He bleeds out and dies.
 * Foo Fighters rips D an G head off of his body.
 * Foo Fighters chose to die instead of living again when Jolyne Cujoh gives her the choice. Her reason was that if she were revived, the revived F.F. would be another F.F rather than the one who helped Jolyne.
 * Upon regaining his memory disc, Weather Report seeks out Enrico Pucci to settle their shared past. While Weather had the advantage during the fight and was about finish Pucci off, Jolyne's sudden appearance distracted him long enough for Pucci to gain the upper hand and kill him using his Whitesnake. Jolyne finds his corpse and his separated Stand disc shortly after.
 * After realizing that his Stand Bohemian Rhapsody was defeated, Ungalo loses the will to live and dies.
 * Jolyne attacks Pucci with her Stand while Whitesnake activated its illusory powers. However, Jolyne realizes that she attacked Versus instead of Pucci, killing him.
 * The end of Part 6 featured the most unexpected series of deaths in the series. Made in Heaven manages to kill Jotaro Kujo, Ermes Costello, Narciso Anasui, and even the protagonist Jolyne Cujoh.
 * In a manner similar to how his master met his first end by the Ripple, Enrico Pucci was first weakened by breathing the overdose of oxygen brought about by Weather Report's Stand. He hypocritically begs Emporio Alniño not to kill him when he had previously dogged Emporio while urging him to accept his fate. Ultimately, he is killed by Weather Report's Stand, which beats him down with a barrage of fists. Because of Pucci's death, the universe was rebooted to be nearly identical to what it was before with some changes.

Part 7

 * In an effort to save Lucy Steel from her pursuers, Mountain Tim attempts to incapacitate Blackmore when he is confronted by him. However due to Blackmore's advantage in the rain, he is defeated and subsequently shot in the head.
 * After nearly killing both Johnny and Gyro by the Mississippi river, Soundman himself is killed by having a makeshift steel ball thrown through his neck by Johnny.
 * Similar to Kars' fate, Magent Magent was trapped by a wire set by Wekapipo in the bottom of a river. He can't drown thanks to his Stand, 20th Century Boy, but he can't escape either. Paralyzed and waiting for Diego's help he waited for a long time and eventually stopped thinking.

 * The Zeppeli's Fate persists in Steel Ball Run. In a final epic battle between him and Funny Valentine, Gyro dies from his own wounds, but not before teaching Johnny the final lesson of the Spin.
 * When realizing there was no way to stop the infinite rotation caused by Johnny's Tusk, Valentine tries to persuade Johnny to reverse the rotation and explains his reasons for his actions though Johnny seems to believe him, he wanted to make his truth 101% by throwing his pistol and goads him to pick it up, knowing if he didn't bring a pistol from a another dimension to betray him, he'll know he's telling the truth. Johnny's theory was then proven correct and finally kills the president during the final showdown.
 * The second Diego Brando died when his head from another universe came in contact with him. Oddly enough, Funny Valentine was already dead at the time, but the condition of two beings from alternate universes not being able to be in the same location still applied.

 * After the events of Part 7, Johnny Joestar used the Corpse Parts to heal his wife from a fatal illness, only for his son to catch it. After transferring the illness to himself with the use of Tusk Act 4, he falls to the ground and is mysteriously killed when a boulder crushes his head.
 * Josuke used his soap bubbles to push Yotsuyu Yagiyama into the sea in an attempt to force information out of him, preventing them both from surfacing by wrapping his body in nets Norisuke salvaged from the shoreline.
