Anime Riverside 2025: JoJo Pose-Off

 

Taking place after the "Notice Me Senpai" Contest (see below) was the back-breaking annual JoJo Pose-Off. If not a fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, that's very sad, but you might not know that villains and heroes pose quite often and usually like they all take very good yoga classes. So competitors did the same pulling off pose after pose that had the host asking them to, "Not hurt their backs." Seriously, these great competitors should have won a back massage instead of a signed Funk Pop.


 We're gonna skip ahead and tell you about an upset as they two-ta-three-time-winner (the host couldn't quite remember) and cosplayer of series regular evil jerk, Dio did not win this year, but just look at that swagger.




Damn, he looked the part. But he couldn't compete with the couple that won!


It was incredibly close, but the couple's poses beat out the former champ.

Even after he teamed up as well. 


Getting to the final round wasn't easy and we assume everyone was icing their backs after. Still, a wonderful fan competition. Pose Off...we mean hat off to everyone who participated and is probably wearing a Salonpas patch right now.
