This article explores and analyzes the episodes of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. We will be discussing the main storyline of the anime series Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and how many fillers, if any, can be spotted in the series. It is an ongoing anime series based on a Japanese manga that was written and illustrated by Herohiko Araki. The series started in Shueisha’s Shonen manga magazine Weekly Shonen jump, it continued for a long duration from 1987 to 2004. After that, in 2005, it was shifted to monthly seinen manga magazine Ultra Jump.
The beauty and versatility of this series are that it is not comprised of a single storyline, rather it is a combination of many stories, nine, to be exact, these are called its nine arcs. This rare combination ensures a diverse and rich experience which is one of the reasons for its long and successful publication. In each arc, the lead character is named Jojo.
The video anime adaptation started in 1993 when A.A.A.P produced a 13 episode video animation series in which they adapted manga’s third part Stardust Crusaders. Afterward, they adapted the first part Phantom One into an anime film in 2007.

Are there any fillers in Jojo?
If you consider fillers as something which not in the original manga, but is present in the anime, then that is not the case here. The adaptation is done in such a way for all the episodes that the basic storyline and events happening in the anime are the same as narrated in the original manga. Now if by fillers, you mean unnecessary fluff that could be avoided, then yes there are some episodes that can be considered as boring details that do not essentially contribute to the story. So to answer does Jojo have fillers? Yes, however, Jojo filler percentage is considerably low as compared to other animes adapted from the manga.
If you skimp through online platforms, such as Jojo filler list Reddit, for suggestions about what episodes might be considered as fillers, it is a general view that the first three or four parts of the series contain little to no fillers. Whereas the fourth part has plenty of episodes that can be called fillers. With that said being fluff does not mean being uninteresting. These filler episodes are quite interesting in their own fun way and it is not a waste of time to watch them although if you had skipped them it might not affect your understanding of the series.
