These characters were able to terrorize their opponents and fans with their Stands, character designs, and malevolent behavior. Whenever a daunting character appeared in the series, it made the audience extremely uncomfortable as they did not know what they were capable of doing. With that in mind, we have made a list of the scariest characters in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

7 Secco

Secco and Oasis

Secco was an absolutely deranged character, who loyally served his boss, Cioccolata. Initially, Secco was one of Cioccolata's patients, which normally meant that the doctor would have killed him. However, for unknown reasons, Secco was spared, and he eventually became Cioccolata's sidekick.

Secco was thrilled at the prospect of filming Cioccolata when he performed sick experiments on his patients. Secco obeyed his master like a trained animal, and if Cioccolata was pleased with his work, then he would give him treats. Seeing a person divulge in such sick activities without feeling any remorse was terrifying.

6 Cioccolata

Cioccolata was a sadistic maniac who only cared about satiating his urge to conduct inhuman experiments. He would beguile old people into thinking that he would take care of them when in reality, he would give them illegal drugs. To make matters worse, he would torture them mentally with his words.

Even Diavolo did not want to deploy Cioccolata, but when things got out of hand, he had no other option. Cioccolata's Green Day managed to affect the entire city of Rome and there were many casualties in a very short period. Luckily, the team of Giorno and Mista managed to take him down before the entire city could be destroyed.

5 DIO

Dio Brando in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

DIO is one of the most famous characters in the series. He was the main antagonist of Part 1, and Part 3. While DIO's character in Part 3 is considered to be more iconic, his character in Part 1 can be considered to be the most heinous.

Moments after he arrived at the Joestar estate, DIO attacked Jonathan's dog, Danny. However, DIO's wicked heart was not satisfied by just kicking the poor mutt, so he locked it inside a box and placed it in an incinerator. This resulted in Danny being burned alive, and to the audience, this scene was truly disturbing. Another time when DIO showed his mercilessness was when he turned a woman who begged him to not hurt his kid into a vampire. DIO agreed and turned the woman into a vampire, and he watched as she ate her own baby.

4 Yoshikage Kira

Yoshikage Kira appeared to be an ordinary man with a normal life, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Kira was a murderer, who had been killing people in Morioh for years. He killed women who had beautiful hands, and he carried them around until they started to smell.

Due to his Stand, nobody in Morioh was aware that there was a malicious killer on the loose. Kira had absolutely no qualms about killing people, and he would stalk them carefully before sending them to the afterlife. With his stalking and murdering of innocent people, Kira induced fear in the hearts of the viewers.

3 Yukako

Yukako from JoJo

Yukako is a side character from Diamond is Unbreakable. Like any normal girl, she fell in love with another boy, and in Yukako's case, the person whom she fell for was Koichi. Initially, she observed Koichi from afar and did not do anything, but once she made her feelings known to him, everything changed.

Yukako started controlling Koichi, and the poor boy was only allowed to do things that she approved of. She went as far as kidnapping and locking him in an empty house. Yukako's obsession with Koichi was crazy, and it reached a point where the audience was deeply disturbed.

2 J. Geil

J. Geil from Stardust Crusaders

J. Geil was the son of Enya and the user of Hanged Man. J. Geil killed Polnareff's sister, which is why the latter was pursuing him. The worst thing about J. Geil was the fact that he strongly denied the accusations made by Polnareff. In fact, he claimed that all the women that he had violated in the past were his lovers.

His personality made him a terrifying character, but one could argue that wasn't the worst thing about him. J. Geil looked hideous; his face was horrific plus he had two right thumbs. Needless to say, his physical appearance only made him look even more daunting.

1 Angelo

Angelo is one of the most evil characters in the series. At the age of 12, he murdered and violated other people. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison, which a lot of people might think was not enough punishment for his crimes. Luckily, before being hung, Angelo awakened his Stand which allowed him to fake his death and escape.

As soon as he went into the outside world, Angelo resumed his evil acts. He killed Josuke's grandfather and assaulted other characters. Angelo even targeted Tomoko, but Josuke defeated him before the criminal could harm his mother. Having a maniac on the loose caused a lot of problems for the people of Morioh. Thankfully, Josuke fused him with a rock, and ended the threat.
