5 Reasons Why Kakyoin Noriaki Is JoJo's Strongest Sidekick

5 Reasons Why Kakyoin Noriaki Is JoJo's Strongest Sidekick

Just like JoJo's other sidekick, Kakyoin Noriaki is first introduced as a villain who tries to kill Jotaro Joestar. 

However, after being defeated by Jotaro, it was revealed that Kakyoin was controlled by Dio Brando. 

After Jotaro saves him from Dio's influence, Kakyoin decides to follow Jotaro's adventures to defeat Dio.

You could say, Kakyoin is the strongest JoJo sidekick ever in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. 

Why so? 

Here are five reasons Kakyoin is JoJo's strongest sidekick:

1. Kakyoin can attack his enemies by painting

Kakyoin has the ability to attack his enemies without touching them. 

This was shown when it was first introduced. 

Kakyoin attacked Jotaro's leg by crossing his painting, causing Jotaro to fall down the stairs.

To use this ability, Kakyoin only needs to paint his target. 

That way, he can attack his enemy without being noticed. 

Although very useful, unfortunately, this ability is only used when he is fighting against Jotaro.

2. The stand can be used to control other people

Just like his previous ability, Kakyoin's Stand ability, Hierophant Green, is a power that is rarely used. 

By entering the body of its victim, Hierophant Green has the ability to take over a person's body.

This ability was first shown when he took over the body of a nurse to attack Jotaro. 

Even though Kakyoin uses the nurse as a hostage, Jotaro doesn't care and instead attacks Kakyoin through the hostage.

3. The stand has ranged moves

While the previous two abilities were rarely used, the Emerald Splash was a mainstay move that Kakyoin often used. 

You could say, this move is the strongest long-range move possessed by Stand in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series.

Using Hierophant Green, the Emerald Splash allows the Stand to fire emerald-like projectiles at its enemies. 

Proven in his multiple battles, this move is powerful enough to deal massive damage to various Stands.

4. The stand can be used as a rope

There is no doubt that Hierophant Green is a versatile Stand. 

Besides being able to be used to control other people and release emerald projectiles, this Stand can also be used as a rope.

This is shown in Kakyoin's fight against Dio in Egypt. 

In the fight, Kakyoin put up a rope that was connected from building to building. 

This rope acts as a trap. 

Every time Dio touches the rope, he will be attacked by the Emerald Splash.

5. Kakyoin is quite a genius character

Apart from having a versatile Stand, Kakyoin is also quite a genius character. 

This is certainly very useful in the world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. 

The reason is, this series does not rely on the power of friendship. 

The only way to defeat a stronger enemy is with unexpected tactics.

Kakyoin's intelligence is proven in his fight against Mannish Boy and Stand, Death Thirteen. 

Kakyoin finds out that he can't remember his dream. 

Therefore, Kakyoin injures himself to give a sign that Mannish Boy is a criminal. 

Later, Kakyoin also managed to bring Stand to the dream world, which eventually helped the Joestar Group in defeating Death Thirteen.

Even though Kakyoin had to die in his fight against Dio, there is no doubt that Kakyoin is indeed the strongest sidekick that a JoJo has.
