“King Crimson Returns? Araki Hints at Diavolo’s Reappearance in New JoJo Universe”
In a thrilling revelation that has ignited the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fanbase, series creator Hirohiko Araki has teased the potential return of Diavolo and his Stand, King Crimson, in a future installment of the franchise. During a recent interview promoting the upcoming JoJo Part 10, Araki hinted that the next universe might “revisit forgotten souls and unresolved powers,” a statement that has many fans speculating about a multiversal twist.
King Crimson, the fearsome Stand known for its time-erasing ability, last appeared in Part 5: Golden Wind, where its user, Diavolo, met a grim fate—trapped in an endless loop of death by Gold Experience Requiem. Despite his defeat, Diavolo’s mysterious background and the cryptic nature of King Crimson’s powers have left fans wanting more. The idea of his return—whether as a memory, a parallel universe version, or a reimagined Stand—has long been a fan theory.
Fans are especially excited about the possibility of Araki exploring Epitaph, King Crimson’s sub-ability, on a deeper level, or even introducing a new user for the Stand with evolved powers. Some theorists suggest that Part 10 could involve a reality where time-based Stands like King Crimson, The World, and Made in Heaven clash in a battle across dimensions.
The idea of King Crimson returning—especially in a universe where fate, time, and identity are more fluid than ever—would be a dream come true for longtime fans. If confirmed, this would mark the first major callback to Part 5 in years and could reshape the legacy of one of JoJo’s most infamous villains.
Until then, fans wait in hopeful suspense, watching every Araki sketch and cryptic teaser for signs of a crimson-colored
comeback.
