How to read JoJodle attributes

JoJodle always presents eight columns in the same order, left to right:

1. Gender
2. Part
3. Stand Type
4. Role
5. Hair Color
6. Nationality
7. Debut Year
8. Debut Chapter

The order isn't accidental: it goes from broadest (Gender — three categories) to narrowest (Debut Chapter — hundreds of unique values). Reading left to right is reading from "you've ruled out a third of the roster" to "you've pinned the answer to a 200-chapter window".

Three values: Male, Female, Other. No close band — Gender is green or it's gray. Useful as the very first signal because the JoJo cast skews heavily male; a Female green on guess 1 cuts the candidate pool to roughly a tenth of its size.

Which JoJo Part the character first appears in, 1 through 9. Yellow within ±1.

A yellow Part is the single most informative non-green signal on the board: the close band is narrow (the answer is exactly one Part later or earlier than your guess) and the arrow disambiguates the direction. A yellow up-arrow on a Part 4 guess pins the answer to Part 5 — that's a 10× narrowing.

For browsing by Part, see the per-Part hubs: Part 1 · Part 2 · Part 3 · Part 4 · Part 5 · Part 6 · Part 7 · Part 8 · Part 9.

Five labels: Close-Range, Long-Range, Automatic, Colony, Sense-Type. A sixth value, None, is used for Part 1 / Part 2 Hamon users who don't carry a Stand at all.

The yellow band on Stand Type uses a group system:

• Physical — Close-Range
• Remote — Long-Range, Automatic, Colony
• Passive — Sense-Type

So Long-Range vs Automatic is yellow (same Remote group), Close-Range vs Long-Range is gray. The split exists because "Remote Stand" is the way most fans cluster these in their heads.

Three values: Protagonist, Antagonist, Supporting. No close band. The Protagonist pool is tiny — there's only one per Part — so a green here is dramatic, and a gray rules out roughly seven characters out of 217 in a single cell.

The raw values vary wildly (Brown, Blond, Black, Silver, Pink, Green, etc.). The yellow band collapses them into four colour groups:

• Dark — Black, Blue-Black, Dark Brown
• Light — Blond, Silver, White, Platinum
• Warm — Red, Orange, Brown, Auburn, Pink
• Cool — Green, Blue, Purple, Teal

Useful primarily for confirming a Part guess: if you suspect Part 5 and the answer's hair group is Warm, the candidate list shrinks fast.

Nationality stores the actual country string (Japanese, Italian, American, British, Egyptian, etc.). The yellow band uses continent:

• Asia, Europe, Americas, Africa, Oceania, Other

JoJo's cast is unusually international compared to most shōnen series, so Nationality carries real signal across all nine Parts. A "yellow Europe" rules out roughly half the roster in one cell.

The publication year of the chapter the character first appears in, taken from the JoJo Fandom wiki. Yellow within ±5 publication years.

Because each Part runs for ~3 years and there's no gap between Parts, the ±5 band typically covers one Part plus half of an adjacent Part. So a yellow Debut Year on a guess from Part 4 (1992) means the answer is in late Part 3, all of Part 4, or early Part 5.

Chapter number, with ±100 yellow band. JoJodle uses the global JoJo numbering for Parts 1–6 (1 through 595+) and independent chapter counts for Steel Ball Run, JoJolion and The JOJOLands.

This is the strictest narrowing on the board after Part: a green Debut Chapter is almost always the win, because the number of characters who debut in the exact same chapter is usually zero or one. Treat the column as the final tie-breaker.

If you don't have a strong opening, pick a Part 3 supporting character with mid-roster attributes — Polnareff, Hierophant-era Kakyoin, or an Egyptian Stand user. Reasoning:

• Part 3 is statistically the most likely Part for the answer (largest roster), so a Part 3 opener has the highest chance of going green on that column alone.
• A Supporting role splits the difference between Protagonist and Antagonist; whichever way the answer falls, you only eat one gray on Role.
• An ensemble member with mid-Stand-type (Close-Range or Long-Range, the two most common types) keeps Stand Type informative across the broadest part of the roster.
