Hirohiko Araki’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has been going strong for over 35 years and in many ways the series feels fresher than ever thanks to its latest story saga, The JOJOLands. The JOJOLands is the ninth major JoJo installment and the third in the franchise’s rebooted continuity following Stone Ocean’s cataclysmic conclusion. 13 chapters in, The JOJOLands is deep in a rich crime saga, albeit one that feels distinct from Golden Wind’s mob antics throughout Italy. Jodio Joestar and his brother, Dragona, get pulled in deeper to a growing mystery that’s set to forever disrupt Hawaii’s status quo before everything is said and done. The JOJOLands has hit the ground running, but it’s usually quite difficult to ascertain a new JoJo story’s scope and trajectory this early on.Admittedly, The JOJOLands first dozen chapters have thrown a lot of characters at the audience, not to mention an abundance of Stands that are some of the franchise’s strangest and most unconventional. The JOJOLands heads into new territory with Chapter 13, “The Absurd Event That Happened To Me That Year,” which delivers a helpful look into Jodio and Dragona’s past, which proves to be essential for their current situation at hand. “The Absurd Event That Happened To Me That Year” is one of The JOJOLands’ most confident chapters yet and it benefits from the audience finally having a stronger hold on its characters and where this story is heading.“The Absurd Event That Happened To Me That Year” puts Dragona front and center and chronicles the intense bullying that he receives in high school. This begins as immature heckling and cruelty, but it slowly transforms into incredibly uncomfortable territory that’s quite hard to endure. Araki brilliantly puts the audience in Dragona’s position and there’s a disgusting quality that grows increasingly powerful during these bullying sections. This female bully mocks, humiliates, and sexually abuses Dragona, all while this cruelty largely goes unchecked because of the bully’s wealth, privilege, and social standing. Thankfully, Jodio arrives just in time and is able to come to his brother’s aid, albeit with the help of his November Rain Stand. Araki makes sure that this material doesn’t feel exploitative and that it serves a grander purpose. It helps emphasize the power of destiny’s mechanisms, but it also places a heavy focus on wealth, which has been prevalent throughout the entirety of The JOJOLands. This flashback helps provide greater context to Jodio and Dragona’s desire to be wealthy, but also the tragic circumstances that push them down this path.
