Za Warudo is the battle cry of Dio Brando's Stand, The World, from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders, the manga arc by Hirohiko Araki that ran from 1989 to 1992 and was adapted into anime in 2014. Dio shouts the words to freeze time itself, and protagonist Jotaro Kujo later answers with his own Stand, Star Platinum, unlocking the same power. The moment became one of anime's most quoted scenes, spreading through AMVs and freeze-frame memes on YouTube and TikTok where creators halt a clip mid-action for comic or dramatic effect.
About this sound
The iconic Star Platinum Za Warudo time stop shout from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Creators use it for freeze-frame reveals, dramatic pauses and meme edits.
This clip captures the legendary time stop moment from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, when the shout of Za Warudo freezes the world in place. You hear a booming, echo-drenched voice cry out the words, followed by the eerie ticking of a clock and a deep, rumbling pressure as time itself halts around the listener. It feels like the air gets sucked out of the room for a few suspended seconds before everything slams back into motion. The effect lands with total authority, turning any ordinary scene into a dramatic standoff where the speaker holds all the power.
