Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Battle Tendency (戦闘潮流) is the second part of the long-running manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which originally ran on Shonen Jump from late 1987 to 1989. It is preceded by Phantom Blood and followed by Stardust Crusaders.Set in 1938 right before World War II, Battle Tendency stars Joseph Joestar, the rough-and-tumble but extremely clever grandson of Jonathan who lives in New York City. When word gets out that Jonathan's best friend and Joseph's adoptive great uncle, Robert E. O. Speedwagon, has been murdered, Joseph sets out to avenge him. However, after defeating Speedwagon's alleged murderer, he learns that Speedwagon is actually being held captive by the Waffen-SS in a research facility in Mexico, led by Commander Rudol von Stroheim. While rescuing Speedwagon, Joseph learns of Stroheim's latest discovery: a race of ancient, superhuman beings known as the Pillar Men, the original creators of the Aztec stone masks. After a heated fight with a Pillar Man in the research facility, Joseph heads to Italy in order to train for his fateful encounter with three more powerful Pillar Men with the help of Caesar Zeppeli (grandson of Jonathan's teacher William Zeppeli) and their mysterious mentor, Lisa Lisa.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Battle Tendency was adapted into episodes 10-26 of the first season of the anime. The English dub of the anime aired in 2016 on Toonami. |

Anyone Can Die: Much like Phantom Blood, Araki doesn't hold back with the bloodshed. Once again, numerous background and minor characters are killed off; Caesar, Esidisi, Wamuu, several soldiers and in the epilogue we find out that Stroheim, Speedwagon, and Erina died a few years after Joseph's battle with Kars. For a while there it looked like Joseph would be killed off too, just like Jonathan, but this was a red herring. |

Heroic BSoD: Joseph briefly enters this, calmly accepting his death, after having his left hand cut off by Kars and suffering a brutal Hamon-boosted Knee Capping. It's only when his body instinctively pulled out the Red Stone of Aja he took with him at the last second, deflecting the Hamon and regains the will to defeat Kars. |

Reality Ensues: While the Sorting Algorithm of Evil may have turned vampires into Mooks when the Pillar Men arrived, Hamon users still have only a limited amount of stamina which means they can't go One-Man Army on a large group of them. While Joseph Joestar does defeat the Big Bad, he loses his arm and it is replaced with a prosthetic. This remains all throughout Stardust Crusaders and Diamond is Unbreakable. |

Stripperiffic: All four of the Pillar Men are dressed in little more than a thong with some Aztec-looking accessories, though this is primarily meant to show how ancient they are. Joseph himself, while not nearly as much as the Pillar Men, is also prone to wearing revealing clothing, and his most iconic outfit has him wearing a midriff-baring crop top that also shows his muscled arms. One piece of artwork for the anime adaptation has him wear ripped jeans belonging to Jolyne. |

Anachronism Stew: Joseph wields weaponized clackers roughly 30 years before they became a thing. When Speedwagon's plane gets hijacked, Joseph can be seen in the manga reading◊ a Superman comic. Given that he's 18 in Battle Tendency, 13 during this flashback and was born in 1920, this means that the flashback was from 1933. Action Comics #1, which introduced Superman, wouldn't be introduced until 1938. |

Elemental Powers |
| | JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency (Manga) / int_42846e90 |
comment |
Elemental Powers: The main trio of Pillar Men have techniques that invoke an element, called Modes. Unlike regular elemental powers, their techniques are simply the manipulation of their powerful bodies. Only Santana is shown to not have any Mode. Wamuu's Wind Mode can create Razor Wind by making a quick slicing motion. He possesses tube like organs that suck up the air and blow it out of the body at high speed, enabling manipulation of gusts of wind. His strongest technique, Holy Sandstorm, is about twisting his arms fast enough to create a vortex. Esidisi's Heat Mode can heat up his body temperature up to hundreds of degrees Celsius, so his blood can set wood on fire and burn right through flesh. Kars possesses Light Mode, where he sprouts chainsaw-like blades from his arms and legs. The reflection of the light on the moving blades make them glow. |

Human Subspecies: The Pillar Men. They were a tribe of pre-history Mesoamerican Horned Humanoids who were physically harmed by sunlight, but had long lifespans and advanced technology; as such, they were worshiped as gods by early humanity. The four Pillar Men in the present only survived by using the Stone Mask, which gave them immortality and Body Horror-tastic body-manipulation powers. Kars, the leader of the four and the creator of the Stone Mask, wiped out the rest of the tribe when they tried to kill him. |

One of the villains is a crybaby, and is part of a trio that strike a lot more poses than either Dio or Jonathan in Phantom Blood... culminating in the main villain becoming a Glam Metal screaming bird vampire who constantly licks his lips. |

Eating the Enemy: This was one of Santana's, the first pillar man Joseph encounters, tactics of choice. He's notable for having the ability to extend his ribs out of his body to attack his enemies. And his chest powers don't stop there; he can actually devour people through his chest. He did this to a a vampire the facility sent in to test him and tried to do this to Joseph. To bad for him, Joseph wanted him to do this so he could fill the demon with Hamon energy. Later, Mark the Nazi gets half of his body eaten by Wammu when the latter walks through him. |

Greater-Scope Villain |
| | JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency (Manga) / int_9b06e314 |
comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: Kars is retroactively this to Part I, being the one who created the Stone Mask that allowed Dio to become a vampire and hailing from a race where the purpose of the Stone Mask was to create vampires, which his kind eat. This also means he's the Greater-Scope Villain to parts 3-6, where DIO is a major factor in several characters' motivations. Though he's overshadowed by the Pillar Men, Dio Brando still haunts the Joestars despite being trapped at the bottom of ocean for the entirety of Part 2. Not only is the power he displayed in Phantom Blood part of what motivates Straizo's Face–Heel Turn, but one of his henchmen is responsible for Joseph losing both of his parents due to murdering George Joestar II and then being killed by Lisa Lisa and forcing her to go into hiding since he was a US Army General. |

Our Vampires Are Different |
| | JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency (Manga) / int_9f63d4f1 |
comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: While they're never actually called vampires, the Pillar Men display a lot of the same abilities as vampires in Jojo, such as regeneration, life draining, and body manipulation. However, Pillar Men can take those abilities further, altering their bodies as will and devouring people by absorbing them with a single touch. Justified, since the Piller Men created vampires in the first place. It is implied that Kars' Stone Masks actually awakened these abilities in him and his allies, as he and Esidisi used their abilities to kill off the rest of their tribe. |

Olive Garden: The middle of the story takes place in Rome and Venice. The former is where the three Pillar Men hibernate and awaken, while the latter is where Joseph and Caesar undergo their Hamon training under Lisa Lisa. Caesar, however, is revealed to be from Naples. |

Writing Around Trademarks: In the manga, a flashback shows Joseph reading a Superman comic. In the anime, presumably due to some licensing issues, he's instead reading Baoh, one of Araki's pre-Jojo's Bizarre Adventure works. |

Training from Hell |
| | JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency (Manga) / int_d66cd0e6 |
comment |
Training from Hell: Lisa Lisa's Hamon training begins with throwing her students in a pit with a large central tower that constantly gushes oil (more like vegetable oil than crude oil), meaning they have to master their Hamon in order to climb out or else die of starvation. On top of that, since Joseph never learned Hamon breathing, Lisa Lisa fits him with a special mask that forces him to breathe properly or else suffocate. In the end it takes him four days to climb out of the pit. |

Decoy Protagonist: Jonathan Joester, the protagonist of the previous part. Joseph Joestar is the first to inherit the nickname JoJo and begins the trend of future protagonists (Descended from Jonathan and Joseph) doing the same. From the perspective of an anime viewer, Joseph is Jonathan's replacement following his untimely death in Season 1 Episode 9. Watching the anime will play this trope more straight. |

He possesses tube like organs that suck up the air and blow it out of the body at high speed, enabling manipulation of gusts of wind. His strongest technique, Holy Sandstorm, is about twisting his arms fast enough to create a vortex. |
