Penelitian ini menganalisis representasi maskulinitas era Heisei dalam anime JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable. Fokus utamanya menelaah pengaruh ketidakpastian ekonomi dan pergeseran nilai sosial era Heisei terhadap konstruksi identitas laki-laki dalam narasi tersebut. Dengan menggunakan teori hegemonic masculinity yang dikembangkan R.W. Connell, penelitian ini membedah relasi kekuasaan di antara laki-laki dalam kategori hegemonic, complicit, subordinated, dan marginalized masculinity. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif melalui teknik analisis konten terhadap data visual dan tekstual pada anime.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pergeseran standar maskulinitas tradisional era Showa menuju bentuk-bentuk maskulinitas baru di era Heisei. Hegemonic masculinity direpresentasikan melalui karakter Ryohei Higashikata dan Jotaro Kujo yang memperoleh legitimasi dari peran sosial dan otoritas intelektual yang mereka miliki. Complicit masculinity terlihat pada Rohan Kishibe, yang lebih menekankan otonomi individu serta keberhasilan secara finansial. Sementara itu, marginalized dan subordinated masculinity direpresentasikan melalui tokoh Tamami Kobayashi, yang digambarkan kehilangan akses ekonomi dan integritas moral. Secara keseluruhan, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure menunjukkan adanya pergeseran sumber legitimasi maskulinitas, dari yang semula berbasis loyalitas institusional dan kolektif, menuju pengakuan terhadap keahlian profesional individu di tengah kondisi sosial dan ekonomi yang tidak pasti.

ABSTRACT

This research analyzes the masculinity representation of Heisei era in the anime JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable. The primary focus is to examine how economic uncertainty and shifting social values during the Heisei era influenced the construction of male identity within the narrative. Utilizing R.W. Connell’s hegemonic masculinity theory, this study deconstructs power relations among men through the categories of hegemonic, complicit, subordinated, and marginalized masculinity. A qualitative method was utilized using content analysis of both visual and textual data from the anime.

The results indicate a shift from traditional Showa era masculinity standards toward new forms in the Heisei era. Hegemonic masculinity is represented by Ryohei Higashikata and Jotaro Kujo, who gain legitimacy through their social roles and intellectual authority. Complicit masculinity is evident in Rohan Kishibe, who emphasizes individual autonomy and financial success. Meanwhile, marginalized and subordinated masculinities are represented by Tamami Kobayashi, depicted as losing both economic access and moral integrity. Overall, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure demonstrates a shift in the source of masculine legitimacy, moving from institutional and collective loyalty toward the recognition of individual professional expertise amidst uncertain social and economic conditions.
