I know it's only two chapters in, but thinking back on all the jojos so far, I feel like Jodio's got Joseph part 2's vibes the strongest so far.


loving up the cops twice in two chapters is also very part 2 Joseph (in fact, twice as much)

I'm really hoping one of this crew or someone we have yet to meet turns out to be the Caesar. I hope it's Tingle

This was great

Jodio has owned the Nazis in every chapter so far.

Joseph... Did not

Joseph was consistently owning them for a while, he just didn't keep it up. Once he hit Italy he was done.

The odds are shockingly high that Joseph was given an official visit by Adolf Elizabeth and a firm handshake to go with his German technology prosthetic hand. 30% of the Speedwagon Foundation's budget has gone towards suppressing this fact

Man, it's kinda weird that Smokey Brown, the Mayor of NYC, was around for all that Pillar Men stuff. I don't know if that was all sworn to secrecy or anything, how public knowledge was that? Would it be like me cracking open a copy of Giuliani's memoir and seeing a chapter about that time he saw a Super-Vampire turn his hand into a squirrel and had it eat a Nazi's pancreas?

A man ate his own hands after his friend asked him if he was “a man of the land or a man of a sea”.

After that the Prosthetic Industrial Complex lost all morale and just gave up.

And another 30% is spent on fixing Joseph's drat hand. Seriously, how many times has that thing gotten damaged/destroyed?

It is I, Rohan, the vengeful art ghost of manga’s past, who you, Rohan, have awakened by relentlessly criticizing your own past works.

This has to be a retcon, right? I'm really genuinely confused, being a Joestar is a fairly big character detail and for it to be an error Araki would have to had to misremember one of his character sheets before drawning something that he, his editor, and his assistants all managed to miss before it was printed in Ultra Jump, reprinted for the volume release, and then reprinted again in color for the digital release

It's a retcon, Josefumi was blatantly meant to be SBR Josuke in both hair and where he fits on the family tree.

I didn't think I'd get the chance to see a retcon on the level of "Zeppeli doesn't have kids but actually he does" since I started reading the manga but lol lmao here we are

Not being a retcon raises further questions like why does soft and wet have two different halves of the joestar star on its bubbles

Weirdly enough Araki seems to have been going back and forth on Josefumi to the end, considering Fumi conspicuously leaves his girlfriend behind when he gets stuck in America after escorting Lucy back.

the literal last chapter of JoJolion says "Fumi had ONE DAUGHTER" and The JoJolands Chapter 1 immediately says lol nope so arguably another high profile fix req'd

I imagine Josefumi's star being removed might be due to trying to tidy something up that might happen in JoJolands but also probably won't.
