I went into Part 2 expecting greater things since the first part had me on the edge of my seat but I was slightly disapointed, it failed to keep me engaged to the point where a 20 min episode would be done because I just fast forwarded through the unintresting parts. The only question remaining is how Jotaro gets a half-ripped hat to stay on his head during all those action scenes - maybe it's pinned down? We'll likely never really know the bizarre truth.At first I couldn't stand Jojos Bizarre Adventure, I had it in my watchlist but kept putting it off, but then I told myself to bear with it and struggled my way through Part 1. Of course, the fact that Jotaro is an animated character makes it easier for the transition between his hat and hair to look seamless, but a ripped hat is a notably grounded explanation for a strange aspect of a famously strange series. Since Part 6 hasn't been animated yet, viewers have yet to see how the anime will portray this version of Jotaro's iconic headwear.ĭespite confusing JoJo fans for many years, the most likely explanation for Jotaro's hat is surprisingly simple.

The color pages of the manga give his hair a purple tint to make the hat-hair blend seamless. In Part 6, Jotaro's hat changes to dark purple, which blends more easily with his black hair. This theory may seem overly detailed, but given what we know about how the hat works in Part 3, it makes a lot of sense. A theory by Reddit user Skrygornias suggests that the back of the Part 4 hat has holes that Jotaro's hair shows through and that the back of the hat is dyed a darker color in order to blend with his hair better. They're white instead of black but still blend seamlessly into his hair on a gradient, and flecks of black hair can be seen even at the hats' edges. Jotaro's hats in Parts 4 and 5 are more confusing. RELATED: The Black Clover Anime Is Ending at the Ideal Time The answer, then, seems to be that his hat is ripped at the back - part of his stereotypical Japanese delinquent aesthetic - and its shape and color just happen to blend seamlessly with his hair, creating the illusion that they are one and the same. In both cases, his hat retains the same spiky shape as before, while the spikes of his hair appear to be somewhat shorter. In Episode 41, "D'Arby the Player, Part 2," Jotaro takes off his hat during his heated video game battle with D'Arby the Younger. In Stardust Crusaders Episode 26, "Iggy the Fool and Geb's N'Doul, Part 2," Jotaro's hat is knocked off his head by N'Doul's stand and later retrieved by Iggy the dog. Jotaro's hat wasn't always so strange, as it turns out. In the picture, he is still wearing his famous hat, but there's a difference - the hat has a clear beginning and end, and although it is still the same color as his hair, they aren't seamlessly blended together as they are in the present.

In one of the first episodes of the Stardust Crusaders anime, a photo of a slightly younger Jotaro can be seen in his house. As it turns out, the answer is hiding in plain sight.
