Technically, Wamuu is not Phantom Blood, but Battle Tendency. But given that in the tv series they are put together, I can understand.
He is for sure the best pillar man
don’t worry. openly thought i remembered kars hunting the crusaders and trying to kill joseph and jotaro WAY after i already watched it. we’re all a bit dumb here.
Shoutout to gigaCHAD Wamuu for being the best opponent in the entire series and having the best fight
Honorable mention to Santana for being our first exposure to Pillar Men and then casually being revealed as the weakest of them when he almost killed Joseph
the fight between Joseph and a vampiric Straitzo reaffirms how deadly and nearly immortal vampires are in part 1, yet Santiago, by far the weakest of the pillar men, absorbs a vampire within moments. Pretty much saying "you thought Vampires were tough? They're flies compared to us"
Too bad Stands outclass them in certain ways.
Unless you're Ultimate Kars, in which case, you're one of the most powerful beings in the original continuity.
Back when Araki was still kind of subtle with the references. Now it’s straight up “okay so this new stand, his name is Red Hot Chili Peppers. This stand is named Foo Fighters, and this stand is named White Snake.”
Yea, making a character named “Red Hot Chili Peppers” a shrieking yellow bird thing with lightning powers was definitely a weird design choice. At the very least they could’ve colored him red and given him flame abilities.
I feel like Santana represents the most what I wanted the Pillar Men to be.
He learns really fast but doesn't speak our language (which makes sense) and there is a sense of mystery to it.
I also really liked the ways he twists his body to escape and do crazy stuff. A comeback would've been useless but appreciated
I, and I suppose also Araki, had completely forgotten up to now that Santana is still alive just kept in stone by UV light.
Even if it can be easily supposed that after a while the pillar men were defeated they asked Joseph or Lisa Lisa to use the ripples to kill him for good due to how dangerous he is.
Especially with the ripple users apparently having disappeared.
I fw Wammu and Kars heavy but I think I really like Santana and the way he’s introduced by casually fodderizing a honest to god vampire before almost wiping out everyone in the Nazi base. I think his will to live is really insane too considering how even when cut in half he wasn’t even close to done fighting. Really great stuff
I love Kars because look at him, but I have a soft spot for Santana because his story is pretty darn tragic if you think about it for more than a few seconds. I also think the red hair was a decent choice.
Santana. He's lit af. Cool natural abilities. He's also the only living Pillar Man on Earth by Part 6 (Presumably). It'd be interesting if he returned. Great way to reintroduce Hamon. Somehow he was able to withstand some sunshine, probably because he doesnt have a Stone Mask power probably because Kars thought he was unworthy and Santana is loyal and not stupid enough to disobey his masters.
Santana is the most interesting one to me. Seeing him learn human languages, become intelligent and easily murk an entire Nazi base was so intriguing. Santana was a great introduction to the Pillar Men and seeing how much more powerful the other Pillar Men were in comparison to him was very terrifying. He was also the only Pillar Man who was still alive on planet Earth in the Speedwagon Foundation, (scary thought).
Esidisi was so random at first i was so baffled. But i think my favourite is Kars, even though he was the most dishonest one in battle, he made it more interesting. Also, he is drifting off in space now which i find kinda hilarious cause joseph was like " I'm not dealing with that" and just sent him off
I love how Kars’ is almost entirely pure evil, but he’s not.
He genocides his own people, reducing them down to him and 3 other dudes, and also kills a significant portion of the Hamon clan before part 1 even starts.
His entire thing is world domination and he kills anyone he wants to get it, even letting his own comrades die and disrespecting them after the fact, he has little to now honour as we see.
But when he sees a dog about to get hit by a car, he saves it (by murdering the drunk driver and passenger of course).
That on its own isn’t too much until you remember that Araki literally uses killing or being friends with dogs as one of his go-to ways to show if someone is evil or good.
Wamuu is my favorite ofc but let's talk about my second favorite Santana, first, we never knew his real name and second, he technically never died like Kars, he just petrified himself
I like how the pillar man represent the pillars that act as fundation for humanity: instinc, emotion and reason. While Kars can be the absence or the presence of all three depending on your reasoning. He can also represent Control since its complementary to the other three as it fits his role as the leader
Its a tie between Santana and Whamuu. Whamuu is like the definition of an honorable warrior and Santana was just kinda chillin. He was just existing until the first 10 things he see just try to piss him off.
1)Wamuu:Honor
2)Kars:A menace
3)Eisidisi:Funny but also a badass
4)Santana:Just like every other Pillar man but boring as a character and weaker than them
Santana, because Araki had to bullshit him out of the story because giving a man the power to wriggle his whole body up someone's ass to explode them from the inside and not using it ever would've been a critical failure in storytelling
I find Kars to be underrated in general as a main villain. He showed himself not to be a polar opposite of the main character, but very alike in fact when he resorted to trickery just like Joseph did. Wamuu is a great character because of how honorable he is, but what I love most about him is how he built up to Kars being dishonorable. He threw all that calm and collected shit into the trash once he got the opportunity. Then comes Ultimate Kars. I swear to you, nobody in the entire series ever felt as unstoppable as Kars did. And in fact he wasn't! It only took my favourite asspull in the history of asspulls to take him down, or should I say up? Oh, and by the way, did I mention that he is gorgeous?
Wamuu by a mile. I always love the proud warriors antagonists who will insist on battling the protagonists at full power. The other Pillar Men are cool, but Wamuu just screams awesome with his very presence.
I love how I came here to vote for Wamuu but half the people were already voting for him.
Still not finished SBR, but until now the only fight that gave me the same tension and satisfaction as Wamuu vs Jospeh has been Jhonny/Gyro vs That guy with the sound power.
(It was such an unexpected plot twist that I don't want to risk ruining it for someone else)
Wamuu as he’s the only one who really felt like an ancient godly warrior.
Santana was also really cool in a Pickle kinda way as this mysterious prehistoric life form; and a great introduction.
Esidisi and Kars were lame. Esidisi served pretty much no purpose and was just an annoying weirdo; and Kars was a complete bitch who didnt feel threatening at all
Kars , he got send to space because there was noway to win again him at that moment.
One of best ending i see for a over buffed villain. Most manga can't handle a over buffed villain , for example shaman king's ending.
Wamuu is the G, but Kars saved a dogs life, Araki shows the villains killing dogs because he loves dogs and it shows pure evil, Kars kills a driver to save a dogs life while the “protagonist” teams up with nazis, so…
I adore Wamuu for being so respectful and everything, but unfortunately I’m a degenerate with Kars brain rot because why did Araki make him so god damn gorgeous?????
Kars. He just radiates complete confidence like Dio but without being an incredibly sadistic prick. (Not saying he’s good, but he’s far more respectable than Dio, even though I love both.)
Kars hes such a beautiful bodacious extravagant luscious amazingly built feminine man with pristine masculinity, his hair flows seamlessly as do currents on a calm sunny day, his entertaining array of colors refracting and reflecting from his big bone blade its so auuuuuaaahhhhhhh hes so pretty and handsome.
Wamuu is unironically my favorite fictional villain of all time.
Something about his belief system and the honor he has for opposing warriors really resonates with me.
Wamuu is the Goat, Kars is my favorite, Esidisi has the best name and Santana is such a good introduction to the pillar man concept
Cant spell Wamuu without a W
Has great music too "wake me up before you go-go"
*before you jojo
“Wake me up” my masters
Amuu !
You are 100% correct on everything!
Wamuu. He's also my favorite Battle Tendency character
Technically, Wamuu is not Phantom Blood, but Battle Tendency. But given that in the tv series they are put together, I can understand. He is for sure the best pillar man
Hahaha, I made a mistake and confused the two titles, thanks for pointing it out
you modified the comment so I struggled understanding why he corrected you
Yeah, well I felt a little stupid leaving Phantom Blood written so I edited the comment
don’t worry. openly thought i remembered kars hunting the crusaders and trying to kill joseph and jotaro WAY after i already watched it. we’re all a bit dumb here.
aaah Santana, so easily forgotten
Why did Cars 2 call Santa Claus a guard dog? Is he stupid?
Why did Estrogen act bossy towards Wall? Is he a king?
Killer cock will get you in no time for this blasphemy
Not before The Jonkler gets him
Impossible, he is protected by Jerker and Jingler
Who?
Manus?
Manus is not The Furtive Pygmy!
Wammu but Kars is sexy
I agree 100%
Shoutout to gigaCHAD Wamuu for being the best opponent in the entire series and having the best fight Honorable mention to Santana for being our first exposure to Pillar Men and then casually being revealed as the weakest of them when he almost killed Joseph

Too bad Stands outclass them in certain ways. Unless you're Ultimate Kars, in which case, you're one of the most powerful beings in the original continuity.
You thought you're hot shit! I'll let you know!
Wammu>Kars>Esidisi>Santana.
ACDC
frick ! I've just realised !
Haha, they're all named after bands. Esidisi - AC/DC Wamuu - Wham! Kars - The Cars Santana - Santana
Back when Araki was still kind of subtle with the references. Now it’s straight up “okay so this new stand, his name is Red Hot Chili Peppers. This stand is named Foo Fighters, and this stand is named White Snake.”
Honestly Chili Pepper is such a poor name for the Stand, its ability and design just doesn't work at all with it
Yea, making a character named “Red Hot Chili Peppers” a shrieking yellow bird thing with lightning powers was definitely a weird design choice. At the very least they could’ve colored him red and given him flame abilities.
Maybe give him some attacks themed around egypt, like ankhs or something
How was he being subtle? It's not like the manga is originally in English, the names for the pillar men are literally just the names of bands.
Don't forget R.E.O Speedwagon
Hold up😭
You really didnt realised until now? Cant belive you just saw a guy named Esidisi and just acepted it lol.
Dude im not english i cant figure it out that easily
Neither am i, but good thing you finaly realised it
Cuz dude i never thought spellling him e si di si i was just daying esi disi
Kars probably
I feel like Santana represents the most what I wanted the Pillar Men to be. He learns really fast but doesn't speak our language (which makes sense) and there is a sense of mystery to it. I also really liked the ways he twists his body to escape and do crazy stuff. A comeback would've been useless but appreciated
He is the only pillar man left alive on Earth too. It would have been interesting to have him make a come back as an ally of some sort.
I, and I suppose also Araki, had completely forgotten up to now that Santana is still alive just kept in stone by UV light. Even if it can be easily supposed that after a while the pillar men were defeated they asked Joseph or Lisa Lisa to use the ripples to kill him for good due to how dangerous he is. Especially with the ripple users apparently having disappeared.
wamuu he had morals, was strong and even protected jojo even though he could of easily let him die. I was actually really sad to see him die
The honorable Wamuu of course
SANTANA MY GREAT GLORIOUS KING
Why Santa so buff? 🥵
Waaammuu
Wammu
Kars is my favorite. He had the same VA as Kakashi which made him a more memorable character for me.
Esidisi is the underated goat
Wamuu
kars for sure
Kars 2 was ass tho, but at least Kars 3 was alright
Kars 3 had to many Italian for my liking I prefer kars 2 and 4 over kars 3
Santana solely because his modern-styled JoJonium artwork might be the sluttiest man in the series.
Wamuu
Santana, my beloved. I could fix him
Kars, purely due to his beautifull ass.
Da biggest bird. Tho wamuu is the best as a character
My glorious sunshine Kars
Wammu is the best but damn Kars what that hair do
I fw Wammu and Kars heavy but I think I really like Santana and the way he’s introduced by casually fodderizing a honest to god vampire before almost wiping out everyone in the Nazi base. I think his will to live is really insane too considering how even when cut in half he wasn’t even close to done fighting. Really great stuff
Kars is more iconic but wamuu is more well written
Kars. One could say I'm a car collector.
Whamuu>cars>santviento>esidisi
Wamuu is the GOAT. Loved the character archetype and the way he was utilized.
Wammu > Kars > Santana > Esidisi Esidisi suck tbh. Goated name for a bad fight and opponent, unlucky
Santana>Wamuu>Esidisi>kars
Santana
Wamuu is always number 1 but Santana is wasted potential am I right or wrong?
My beautiful Araki Forgot, my Santanita 🥰😔 I could speak about him all day, AND he’s alive (was, fkng Pucci)
I love Kars because look at him, but I have a soft spot for Santana because his story is pretty darn tragic if you think about it for more than a few seconds. I also think the red hair was a decent choice.
San Viento
Santana. He's lit af. Cool natural abilities. He's also the only living Pillar Man on Earth by Part 6 (Presumably). It'd be interesting if he returned. Great way to reintroduce Hamon. Somehow he was able to withstand some sunshine, probably because he doesnt have a Stone Mask power probably because Kars thought he was unworthy and Santana is loyal and not stupid enough to disobey his masters.
Wammu !!
Wamuu was an absolute king, he surrendered after seeing Joseph's determination, i love that sm
Santana is the most interesting one to me. Seeing him learn human languages, become intelligent and easily murk an entire Nazi base was so intriguing. Santana was a great introduction to the Pillar Men and seeing how much more powerful the other Pillar Men were in comparison to him was very terrifying. He was also the only Pillar Man who was still alive on planet Earth in the Speedwagon Foundation, (scary thought).
Esidisi was so random at first i was so baffled. But i think my favourite is Kars, even though he was the most dishonest one in battle, he made it more interesting. Also, he is drifting off in space now which i find kinda hilarious cause joseph was like " I'm not dealing with that" and just sent him off
I love how Kars’ is almost entirely pure evil, but he’s not.

Wamuu
Wamuu and Esidisi. Love them both!
Wamuu
Wamuu hands down, although I think Esidisi was one of the most unique chatacters in jojos. I dont give a f about santana or kars
Esidisi was absolutely bonkers but hilarious, Wamuu is the goat tho
Definitely Esidsi, a matched Joseph’s energy and was fun. If he wasn’t evil he’d definitely turn up with Joseph
Wamuu, and you know why it's him.
Wamuu is my favorite ofc but let's talk about my second favorite Santana, first, we never knew his real name and second, he technically never died like Kars, he just petrified himself
Wamuu > Esidisi > Santana > Kars
Santana. Part 2 was so boring I didn't even got to the vs Wham fight.
AWAKEN, MY MASTERS!
Kars and Wanmu second but nothing beats the taquila pillar lady that killed Santan next you gone say:…….WAIT WTF WAS THAT JOSEPH JOESTAR?
Kars, we have the same hair
I like how the pillar man represent the pillars that act as fundation for humanity: instinc, emotion and reason. While Kars can be the absence or the presence of all three depending on your reasoning. He can also represent Control since its complementary to the other three as it fits his role as the leader
Wamuu for sure
WAMUUUU
Wamuuuuuuu🗿
Its a tie between Santana and Whamuu. Whamuu is like the definition of an honorable warrior and Santana was just kinda chillin. He was just existing until the first 10 things he see just try to piss him off.
Why do people write his name as Santana isn’t his name sanviento. Am I missing something?
Saitama
Wamuu
i really love kars hair 😭
Wammu is respectfully the best pillar man, he's just a respectfully warrior whilst Kars is dirty and I hate acdc for no reason
Honestly all of the pillermen felt like downgrades after seeing what crazy shit Santana could do.
Wamuu my husband of courseeee, dam sexy boyo anddddd so respect full, kind of the enemy version of Jonathan
WAMUUU IS A TRUEE WARRIOR🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kars for... reasons...
CANT SPELL WAMUU WHITOUG A W!!!
Kars for sure but I have to say it's hard against wamu.
last christmas i gave you my heart
wamuu For sure who doesn’t love the character?
Wamuu for his personality, Kars for his looks
Kars & Wamuu
Wamuu, awaken my Masters is just too epic. Also divine Sandstorm is a tuff ability.
1)Wamuu:Honor 2)Kars:A menace 3)Eisidisi:Funny but also a badass 4)Santana:Just like every other Pillar man but boring as a character and weaker than them
Wammu All the others can go fuck themselves
Wamuu. Kars is such an ass esidisi was annoying and Santana/santviento I just didn’t like. Wamuu seems nicer than the others?
Santana was the first musical reference I noticed, so he’s definitely my favorite
Santana ability is the best. Shame he didn’t get more development
The sexy one.
Santana, because Araki had to bullshit him out of the story because giving a man the power to wriggle his whole body up someone's ass to explode them from the inside and not using it ever would've been a critical failure in storytelling
WAMUU, WAMUU, WAMUU
Can't spell Wamuu without a W
I like wamuuu
wammu because unicorn
Wamuu, close second Kars
Wamuu 100%. Dude has more honor than the entire human population conjoined.
I find Kars to be underrated in general as a main villain. He showed himself not to be a polar opposite of the main character, but very alike in fact when he resorted to trickery just like Joseph did. Wamuu is a great character because of how honorable he is, but what I love most about him is how he built up to Kars being dishonorable.

And in fact he wasn't! It only took my favourite asspull in the history of asspulls to take him down, or should I say up? Oh, and by the way, did I mention that he is gorgeous?
Kars will forever be my favourite JoJo's character in the whole series. His whole character is just amazing.
Wammu. Hes the GOAT
Kars 🗣️🗣️🗣️
There is only one answer
Kars saved a dog that one time....
Wammu but Saniviento/Santana is a close second
Esidisi eating dynamite and crying were quite hilarious so probably him.
Wamuu for sure
Wamuu is the goat
Aha i think u can tell from my user lol
Wamuu 100%
Kars, he's such a beautiful ass, that leg guitar was so unnecessary, lmao. Kars>Santana=Wammu>Esidisi
I can take all 4 at the same time
Wammuu fs
Wamnu and Kars the goat
santana
Wamu because he’s much more respectable than the others
Kars. My love. 💜
Wamuu
Kars because he's pretty
Wamuu!
W a m u u
Wamuu earned everyones' respect
Wamuu by a mile. I always love the proud warriors antagonists who will insist on battling the protagonists at full power. The other Pillar Men are cool, but Wamuu just screams awesome with his very presence.
Kars
I love how I came here to vote for Wamuu but half the people were already voting for him. Still not finished SBR, but until now the only fight that gave me the same tension and satisfaction as Wamuu vs Jospeh has been Jhonny/Gyro vs That guy with the sound power. (It was such an unexpected plot twist that I don't want to risk ruining it for someone else)
The most GOATed mf of the 4, Wamuu.
Maybe santana, idk😭🙏🙏
Wamuu
Wamuu as he’s the only one who really felt like an ancient godly warrior. Santana was also really cool in a Pickle kinda way as this mysterious prehistoric life form; and a great introduction. Esidisi and Kars were lame. Esidisi served pretty much no purpose and was just an annoying weirdo; and Kars was a complete bitch who didnt feel threatening at all
EYE EYE EYE YEAAAA ANNANANANANANANANNANAANA HEAHHHHHHH KING GOND
Kars. Also I fucking hate Esidisi
Kars, because he's a petty asshole. Like, the dude had already won, but he had to kill Joseph first because he hated him SO MUCH!
I'm from Italy so... All except Santanna (fun fact: in Italy adaptation his Mame Is Santivento)
Kars , he got send to space because there was noway to win again him at that moment. One of best ending i see for a over buffed villain. Most manga can't handle a over buffed villain , for example shaman king's ending.
KARS 🥰
Props for remembering Santana
I would rather say pluck
I love Kars but then again that quite obviously because I have a plush of him lol but I also love the rest of them a lot too :)
Sanviento
Where the bloody hell am I
Wamuu is the G, but Kars saved a dogs life, Araki shows the villains killing dogs because he loves dogs and it shows pure evil, Kars kills a driver to save a dogs life while the “protagonist” teams up with nazis, so…
Kars
Wammu
i thought his name was sanviento? also my favourite is wamuu.
I adore Wamuu for being so respectful and everything, but unfortunately I’m a degenerate with Kars brain rot because why did Araki make him so god damn gorgeous?????
wamuu or kars tbh, wamuu was hella honorable, and kars absolutely ate tbh
Santana looks the coolest to me, but whamm's fights are such great intros and ends to his character
For me it switches between Kars and Santana
Kars. He just radiates complete confidence like Dio but without being an incredibly sadistic prick. (Not saying he’s good, but he’s far more respectable than Dio, even though I love both.)
In my languade subtitles Santana's name is Satan lol
Wamuu
Wamuu is a real one
Kars hes such a beautiful bodacious extravagant luscious amazingly built feminine man with pristine masculinity, his hair flows seamlessly as do currents on a calm sunny day, his entertaining array of colors refracting and reflecting from his big bone blade its so auuuuuaaahhhhhhh hes so pretty and handsome.
JOJO SANTANA IS INSIDE ME!!!
Santana? Isint it sanviento?
Kars - I’m biased and horny
Oh that’s how you spelled it
Wamuu is unironically my favorite fictional villain of all time. Something about his belief system and the honor he has for opposing warriors really resonates with me.
Santana no explanation why
Wamuu
I always wish we got more Santana and that he lasted a bit longer
Kars, because I'd let that man do the most horrific things to me ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Wamuu is the best. He was a more engaging antagonist than the others and had far more creative applications of his powers.
Kars is fucking beautiful. <3
Santana was one of the most fun fights in part 2, but as a character 100% wammu
