JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure becomes bizarre real-world chocolates from Godiva Japan【Photos】
Fancy adventure series and fancy chocolates come together and give you the chance to eat the series’ cast and artifacts.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is the fanciest action anime/manga series. Fabulous fashions and flamboyant poses are all the order of the day for the myriad Jo-named members of original protagonist Jonathan Joestar’s extended family and their assorted supernaturally powered friends and foes.
So naturally when the JoJo franchise teams up with a chocolatier, it teams up with a fancy one, which is why JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Godiva chocolates are on the way.
Like with many long-running series, the JoJo narrative is broken up into arcs, but Godiva Japan has made sure that all six arcs of the mainline continuity are represented.
▼ Phantom Blood: Jonathan Joestar (a dark chocolate with dark chocolate filling) and the Stone Mask (white chocolate)
▼ Battle Tendency: Joseph Joestar (cherry filling) and the Red Stone of Aja (colored white chocolate)
▼ Stardust Crusaders: Jotaro Kujo (coffee filling) and his hand emblem (blood orange-flavored white chocolate)
▼ Diamond is Unbreakable: Josuke Higashikata (custard filling) and his anchor emblem (lemon-flavored white chocolate)
▼ Golden Wind: Giorno Giovanna (caramel filling) and his ladybug emblem (white chocolate)
▼ Stone Ocean: Jolyne Cujoh (milk chocolate filling) and her butterfly emblem (murasaki imo purple sweet potato-flavored white chocolate)
The compete pack of all 12 is priced at 4,320 yen (US$29) at Godiva Japan specialty stores, but there’s also a six-piece box with just the character portrait chocolates for 1,620 yen.
There’s also an even more affordable option that will be available at convenience stores in the form of a box of thinner portrait chocolates, without fillings, for 864 yen.
▼ The convenience store-version’s box also has a slightly different art design, completionist collectors will note.
The team-up is a joint celebration of the 50th anniversary of Godiva Japan and the 10th of the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure anime TV series. The chocolates go on sale November 1 and are scheduled to be available until January 5, though supplies are likely to run out before then.
