10 Years Ago, Anime’s Most Bonkers Series Introduced a Disturbing Villain Who Changed Everything

A 2016 episode of *JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable* brought serial killer Yoshikage Kira into focus, adding grounded horror to a season otherwise known for whimsical suspense and slice-of-life storytelling. His introduction matters because it reveals a hidden threat beneath Morioh’s peaceful appearance and establishes him as the story’s main antagonist.

Kira has killed unnoticed for decades, using his Stand, Killer Queen, to destroy evidence. His routine is disrupted when middle-schooler Shigechi accidentally takes a lunch bag containing a severed hand, prompting Kira to pursue him and deliver a calm, unsettling speech about wanting a quiet life. The episode ends with Shigechi in danger and Josuke and Okuyasu drawn into the threat.
