JOJO Royale Stage 5 – 7 Winning Entries

I had forgotten about this. Obviously, JOJO Royale winning entries aren’t decided on immediately once a Stage is over even though we move on to the next Stage. I’d always meant to go back and show off the ultimate winners but hadn’t gotten around to it yet. Since we’re nearing the end of the race and seem to be completely past the arts and crafts entries, let’s look at the winners of those Stages.

 

Stage 5 EMA Winner

I’m glad to know I was on about this one. It’s not a hard guess, though, I suppose. It’s a really high quality painting after all. By the way, each of the images will link to the appropriate JOJO Royale Official Stage Page. When I brought up the end of the Stages before, I’d link to the full gallery on the Google+ page and post a few personal stand outs, but the pages now contain both the Stage winner and all of what are probably the actual runner ups. My intuition was on a few of them like the Heaven’s Gate Ena, but there are plenty I never even saw.

Stage 6 BLOCK Winner

Case in point. I never even saw this one while plumbing the galleries for ones I liked. It’s amazing how far the concept of BLOCK was pushed. I didn’t even think you could go for rocks like the above or all the main protagonists made of strips of paper held together with paperclips. It was maybe the best creative showing out of the whole contest.

Stage 7 POP Winner

Not to detract from what people were able to pull off making Ad signs for POP. If you told me that entry was part of JOJOmenon and made by Araki, I might believe you. The way it literally follows the letter of the Stage by having Jolyne POP out of the frame is just incredible. I’m a little disappointed that the flickering DIO TV didn’t make it to the runners up, but there’s an Araki as Rohan sign, so what do I really have to complain about?

Don’t forget, you still have a whole month to put in your entries for Stage 9.

JOJO Royale Stage 7 End! Stage 8 GO!

JoJo Royale Stage 7 “POP” has come to close. I hope someone got a foothold in the ad business because some of these are pretty fun. A lot of simple signs, but there’s plenty of creativity to go around. You can check out the whole collection of entries here at the Google Plus page, but let’s look at a few highlights.

I hope the one with the TV wins. The entries are great, and you couldn’t really use that as a sign in your store, but I really like the style and think it looks really cool.

Stage 7 closes and so we move on to JOJO Royale Stage 8: “QUIZ.” Sorry, but there’s no image for this one so far. QUIZ is one of the easier stages so far to enter and win. In the event page, a JoJo’s question will be asked randomly and you have to leave you answer as a comment as soon as possible. Only Japanese and English answers will be accepted. You cannot change your answer once you’ve submitted it either through editing or further comments. If you get an answer right and passed Stage 7, you get a point and pass to Stage 9, and, here’s the big one, you can pass to Stage 9 even if you haven’t been participating in JOJO Royale until now if you get TEN points. If you get three answers wrong, you get booted out of the competition and drop out of the race. The first comment with the correct answer closes the question, and that person gets the point.

I’m pretty sure the official event page means the Google Plus topic for Stage 8, but keep a look out on the main Google Plus page and the official JOJO Royale page just in case. According to a later official post, questions will typically be posted around lunchtime, but questions can be posted at any time. Account for when that will be for you according to your timezone, whenever around 11AM to probably 3PM in Japan is for you, so you can jump on the question as soon as possible. Remember, you’re pitting yourself against JoJo fans from across the world for the chance to win this.

JoJo Royale Stage 6 End; Stage 7 GO!

Another Stage of JoJo’s Royale is closed and the winner of Araki’s drawing desk is being determined. I think it might be because BLOCK was such a simple, approachable concept, but this Stage got more entries than any previous Stage so far. The personality and creativity here is really high, and what people were able to do is really impressive. Here’s a few of what I think are outstanding entries.

And I couldn’t leave out the entry by our very own DoubleGomez.

It reads “Scary Monster”

You can see the full gallery of BLOCK entries here.

With the closing of one stage comes the opening of a new stage. JoJo Royale Stage 7: POP

The POP competition is for you to create a sign encouraging people who’ve never read JoJo’s before to go out to a bookstore and pick up a copy to read. Obviously, this only applies to Japanese bookstores, but don’t think you need to advertise in Japanese.

Funny Valentine speaks in such an elegant font

A little MS Paint and some elbow grease could put you well on your way to winning a few Stone Ocean Memorabilia: A diorama of Jolyne in her prison cell, the satchel of Stand Discs, the carrier pigeon that returned the Star Platinum Disc to the Speedwagon Foundation, and this adorable crocodile with a bow puppet.

You can post your entries here at the Google Plus page for Stage 7. The deadline is March 1st, 8PM Japanese Standard Time. Good luck!
