* {{Macguffin}}: The Stand Arrows, ancient artifacts that can grant a Stand to anyone pierced by the Arrow (assuming they survive and/or have enough willpower to actually manifest a Stand), as well as empowering a Stand user. Their first major appearence is in ''Diamond Is Unbreakable'', where they're used as explanations for the various Stand users popping up in Morioh [[spoiler:and to give a power up to BigBad Kira in second half of the story]], and they become more significant in the second half of ''Golden Wind'' as the driving goal for both the protagonists and the antagonist is to find one of these Arrows to prevent the other side from using it to evolve their Stand.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: Any instance in which the heroes are challenged to a game instead of a battle. The game will still be treated with all the drama as a life-and-death battle. This leads to things like an overly dramatic game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, or a game of poker where the players are betting each others' souls.

As a matter of fact, World Of Buff (or rather, World Of Muscle Men) is a real trope.


* MrFanservice: If "World of Buff" were a trope, this franchise would provide the page image. The heroes and even most of the ''villains'' in the series look like they're model, given that they're all [[HeroicBuild incredibly buff]], have manly voices, have [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking very well-defined lips]], and [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys very attractive]] in their own special ways.

* OffModel:
** The early parts of ''Phantom Blood'' (before Dio became a vampire) had quite a few panels where characters were in anatomically-questionable poses with near-[[Creator/RobLiefeld Liefeldian]] proportions. ''Battle Tendency'' also has its problems, but at least the poses don't look cripplingly painful.
** The 2012 anime has several examples of oddly drawn facial expressions. However, examples from ''Phantom Blood'' aren't ''terrible'', and most examples were [[EnhancedOnDVD fixed for home video]]. The later episodes of ''Battle Tendency'', on the other hand, manage to have [[AnimationBump some of the best]] and ''worst'' moments in the series. [[http://germainetrain.tumblr.com/post/45069530895 Here are examples]] [[http://i.imgur.com/mGk6k0T.jpg of both]]. ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' is mostly free of this trope, although [[http://i.imgur.com/oQ2GXjf.jpg parts of Killer Queen's reveal are a little off-putting.]]

* OnceASeason: The anime adaption licenses an era-appropriate pop song for the end credits of each season. ''Phantom Blood'' and ''Battle Tendency'' both have "[[Music/{{Yes}} Roundabout]]", the first half of ''Stardust Crusaders'' uses "[[Music/TheBangles Walk Like an Egyptian]]" while the "Battle in Egypt" arc has "[[Music/PatMetheny Last Train Home]]", ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' uses [[Music/SavageGarden I Want You]], the first half of ''Golden Wind'' uses "[[Music/{{Jodeci}} Freekn' You]]", the second half uses "[[Music/{{Enigma}} Modern Crusaders]]", and ''Stone Ocean'' uses "[[Music/{{Duffy}} Distant Dreamer]]".

** In ''Golden Wind'', Giorno introduces his life-giving powers by turning something into a frog, like how Zeppeli showed off Ripple by punching a frog in ''Phantom Blood''. Giorno also says that Koichi is a good person because he didn't try to hit him as hard as he could, like what Speedwagon said to Jonathan when they first met.

This is actually just plain not an example of Mind Screw. Most of what happens in the story can be taken at face value. While it can be weird at time, it never gets confusing and doesn't excessively rely on symbolism or surreal elements.


* MindScrew: It may be the ultimate mind screwing anime, with [[JigsawPuzzlePlot completely crazy plots]]. [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders One part]], you have to beat some steamroller-summoning [[TimeStandsStill time-stopping]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire that stole your ancestor's body]] (and [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean later]] find out that he had plans to create another universe), and [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun the other]], you have to fight dinosaurs and [[PresidentEvil stop the President of the United States from taking over the world]] [[spoiler: using [[RuleOfSymbolism the power of Jesus' body parts]].]] Some powers are absurd even by [=JoJo=] standards; the greatest offender is probably the stand Heavy Weather, who has the power to "alter the atmosphere and hence the projection of light, creating various rainbows to fill a vicinity. If someone were to gaze at the projected light, [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs their bodies would morph into snails due to subliminal messages.]]"
