Ho! Fun wiki, to edit! Since I'm a JOJO FAN! OH!!!

Tasty
Perhaps like many of u I dream occasionally of adapting JoJo. I would hope to achieve something relatively progressive and fluid. Heritage and ASB do a good number of things right; the anime a little less.

I wrote that cos I wanted to show about "voguing" which I just found out about: http://goo.gl/Ke8H0K

Pidbits
My fave additions to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle would include, in descending order of importance:


 * YUKAKO! shes so beautiful. breeze girl


 * RISOTTO NERO! badman.. blackest sclera


 * STROHEIM!!!, THE NEON NAZI ! with the heart of gold! (its totally cool!)


 * DIEGO BRANDO! wrrryyyy!!

It's pretty sick to have all the guys in 3D and whatnot but I know that the game doesn't quite meet the dreams the news inspired for me in the first place. Like, the canonical approach to rendering faces and bodies and stuff can get in the way of sensible aesthetics (e.g. Joseph's face, too many teeth; often too obvious a lack of light sources to account for those dark patches)

My favorite pages
I reject my humanity! JOJO!!!

I acknowledge the priority of the projects listed on front page (e.g. summaries of events in chapter pages)

He keeps a very regular outfit, consisting of a distinctive cap-sleeved top with a kind of band collar, the front lined horizontally and ended with square checks of alternating shades

As a film fan, In the 1980s Araki noted the popularity of action movies and the muscular physiques characteristic of their stars (such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone). By this example, Araki would ponder; "Who is the strongest person in the world?". Subjects such as immortality and justice occurred to him as things that humans innately value and seek. Araki had also been on a trip to Italy two years prior to the creation of Part I: Phantom Blood, where he could experience renaissance art and appreciate its strivance for human beauty. Araki would combine these examples in the formulation of the basic plot and visual style of Phantom Blood.

Silv
presents itself as a warrior in a silver armor, just like a true knight. Polnareff's knighthood shows itself by the way he treats his friends: honor and loyalty. His Stand represents the Tarot Card "The Chariot', which symbolizes invasion and victory, and is entirelly based in close-combat terms. When Polnareff first appears he invades the Joestar group's space, challenging them in the middle of their conversation. Even though Polnareff is usually careless, he was shown capable of obtaining victory on his own, proving his worth by defeating his enemies alone in multiple occasions. The Chariot also can be interpreted as resolving a conflict within yourself and finding the necessary balance to accomplish your ambitions, represented by Polnareff's lack of balance with his emotions while trying to avenge his sister.

Welcome to JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia, a fan Wiki dedicated to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by Hirohiko Araki. Our goal is to compile all materials and official information related to this ongoing series. Anyone can edit, so any help in doing so is greatly appreciated! (See Projects for more!)

=Storage: JoJolion plot summary=

Welcome to Morioh
Yasuho Hirose, hiding from Joshu Higashikata near Morioh's Wall Eyes, discovers a naked man in a sailor cap half buried underground.

In narration, Yasuho explains how the Wall Eyes rose concurrent with a version of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. Massive, rocky protrusions marked with long, vertical holes, they rise between the coastline and the mainland, blocking highways, waterways, gas and power lines.

Yasuho calls an ambulance. She notices a star-shaped birthmark on his shoulder, surrounded by the fresh mark of a human's bite. The man asks Yasuho whether she knows who he is, before beginning to sink into the ground, prompting her to pull him out, revealing a deep hole. She notices that he has four testicles. Joshu finds Yasuho and the man, jealously launching a lethal attack; inciting him to initiate a power in the form of a bubble emerging from his birthmark that turns Joshu blind. The man faints, before they are all taken to hospital.

Soft & Wet
The man reveals that he is knowledgeable, but that he has no memory whatsoever as to his own history. Yasuho offers to help him to discover his identity, first by taking him to the manufacturer of his hat, a shop called "SBR". Seeing them leave from his window, Joshu complains of jealousy, as well as a (similarly human) bite mark on his knee, before collapsing to a fever.

The shopkeeper claims that the man bought his hat there three days prior, before revealing a record of the sale to one "Yoshikage Kira", as well as his address. Yasuho opines that "Yoshikage" does not suit him, and nicknames him Josuke, after her childhood dog. In Kira's apartment, the pair discover a female hostage in the bathroom, and a photo album displaying her in various sordid states of bondage, along with a man that looks like Josuke. Yasuho flees the apartment in disgust, leaving the two in the bathroom. Josuke demands explanation of the hostage, which she gives as that Josuke was a prisoner in the same apartment before escaping three days prior, and that she assumed he had returned to help her escape. She mentions that their captor is a Stand user residing on the floor above them, whose powers only come when his victim is directly underneath him. Revealing his Stand, Soft & Wet, Josuke is violently forced to overcome a plot agreed between the Stand user above and the hostage.

Apprehending and interrogating him, the attacker identifies as Ojirou Sasame, a surfer seeking revenge against Yoshikage Kira, whom Josuke closely resembles (in dress as well as in body). Sasame tells of a psychopathic Kira, who in the past by an obscure power and for little reason convinced Sasame to consume his own fingers. Finished, Josuke identifies a Wall Eye in a photo of Kira.

Travelling to the site of Kira's self-portrait, buried deeper, they discover the body of another man. Narrated after the fact, an autopsy reveals that the body belonged to Yoshikage Kira, who had died of cardiac arrest three days prior.

The Higashikata Family
Josuke and Yasuho are taken in by the head of the Higahikata family, Norisuke Higashikata IV; owner of a substantial estate built with a fruit importation business inherited from his grandfather (Steel Ball Run's Norisuke Higashikata). Lent the Higashikata name, Josuke Higashikata is welcomed into Norisuke's home and provided with Joshu's bedroom, to Joshu's chagrin. Norisuke tells Josuke to consider his word "law" in his house, and forbids him from exploring his study, before appointing him the duty of guarding his youngest daughter, Daiya. Yasuho is escorted out of the house by the family's maid Nijimura, and warned not to return.

California King Bed
Daiya engages Josuke with her Stand, California King Bed; beginning a contest for segments of his memory. Defeating and befriending her, Josuke elicits Daiya's assistance in researching her family, entering Norisuke's study together.

Family Tree
A book contains a family tree, revealing that Yoshikage Kira and the Higashikatas are directly related. Elsewhere, having ordered a DNA test, Yasuho receives the information that Josuke and Kira, "to within 95.8% accuracy", represent "the same person".

『Paisley Park』 & 『Born This Way』
With this, Josuke makes a plan to find Kira's mother, Holy Joestar-Kira, whom Daiya mentions resides in Morioh hospital. Utilizing his phone's GPS on the way, which seems to communicate contradictory instructions, Josuke is trailed and attacked by a dark motorcycle rider. Josuke manages to kick off the rider's helmet, revealing a Stand composed of both bike and rider. Josuke soon deduces that his GPS is actually directing him in escape of his pursuer, as well as a key point to the Stand's limitation. Reaching the hospital after an arduous struggle, almost defeated, Josuke notices an odd sound, following and finding Nijimura, before overcoming her.

Josuke asks Nijimura whether she attacked him under Norisuke's orders. She reacts distastefully to the suggestion and insists on killing him if he approaches Holy. Josuke recognizes her intent and resolves to find some other way to approach Holy if it would avoid causing pain to Nijimura.

The Lemon and the Tangerine
As Josuke leaves, she asks him to show her his tongue. She confirms and explains to Josuke that he has two tongues (fused as one) and four eyes (as two), before revealing that he must be a fusion of Kira and another person, having emerged from the ground near the Wall Eyes, which is known to fuse together objects that are buried there.

At the hospital, after being kicked out, Yasuho's Stand, Paisley Park, activates subconsciously, leading her to Holy Joestar-Kira. She watches as doctors perform several tests, noting a compromise in Holy's ability to discern people from objects, and that she is missing several vital organs without negative repercussions, as well as several perfectly spherical portions of her brain, all without any evidence of surgical removal.

『Shakedown Road』
The next day, at the breakfast table, Hato Higashikata and Daiya appear in swimsuits; a Higashikata tradition developed after a failed trip to Hawaii. Josuke asks Norisuke for a cell phone, as well as the chance to go to school. Norisuke agrees, but orders Joshu to escort him.

Joshu tests Josuke with a trigonometric problem, which he solves, before Joshu asks him to walk with him to a different high school as a favor. Josuke and Joshu travel to Extortion Road, a street known for its kleptomaniacal community. Joshu hopes to record himself being robbed in order to complain with evidence to the police for an earlier infraction.

Arriving, Josuke unintentionally breaks a turtle tank in a nearby store window, apparently killing the turtles inside. Nearby, an older man, the pet shop owner, asks Josuke for recompense; Josuke subsequently giving him ¥20,000, and promising a monthly plan to pay off ¥330,000. Joshu captures the whole event with his phone; discovering that Josuke had stepped on leaves, rushed almost instantly to the tank, and then back, unawares. Josuke deduces this as the work of a nearby Stand. Grabbing the man with Soft & Wet, he realizes that he cannot see the Stand, and therefore may not be the Stand user.

The two continue along the road, and Josuke asks Joshu to use his phone in order to record himself. Josuke is suddenly confronted by three thuggish men who had been watching them from afar. One of them accuses Josuke of having made him drop his cell phone into a puddle, pointing at said phone and puddle. Josuke watches the recording just made and sees himself again slide backward, knocking the man, then forward. The men propose that Josuke deliver a package underneath a nearby flower pot to a nearby woman as compensation.

It is revealed that Josuke and Joshu have been set up to exchange an illegal substance, and the two are soon arrested by a pair of police officers also observing. Joshu meanwhile analyses mysterious actions between the woman and the gangsters during the exchange, localizing the effect to the ginkgo leaves scattered on the ground, and intercepts their exchange of money, fleeing. While Josuke is pinned by the policemen, the gangsters notice Joshu's sleight and give chase, easily catching up with the ginkgo leaves. Preparing to beat him, a nut and screw suddenly materializes on one of their hands. Confused, unscrewing it, his hand detaches from his wrist. Panic rises among them as his other hand falls and more screws form, before Joshu's Stand, Nut King Call, is fully revealed.

Joshu escapes, reversing his Stand's effect, before discovering his stolen money is in fact composed of leaves. The policemen discover Josuke's package contains only candy, and release him. Josuke reveals he had also deduced the power of the gingko leaves, and during its exchange had taken the money for himself with his Stand.

Paying the pet shop owner in full for his case and turtles, Josuke makes a call to Yasuho while she is in class. Seeing Joshu's caller ID, she doesn't answer. Noticing the origin of Josuke's call on her phone's map, Yasuho takes interest in a nearby landmark named Joestar Jizō. Searching the term, she is reminded of Holy and the Higashikata/Joestar family tree. Subconsciously employing Paisley Park, Yasuho continues to research the subject on her phone.

Morioh: Year 1901
She learns that the Jizo was built as a memorial to Johnny Joestar, half a year after his ominous death at that location around 110 years prior. A famous American jockey, Johnny had come to Japan on invitation by their government to assist in a horsemanship program, as well as in importing foreign fruits. On the evening of the 11th of November 1901, while passing through the main road near Mutsukabe Shrine in S City, Morioh, Johnny was bludgeoned and died; his body discovered the following morning with his head under a boulder. Ruled a homicide, his wife Rina Higashikata was a prime suspect, before the cause of death was changed to an accident, the boulder falling from the hill of the Mutsukabe Shrine. Spurred by this new knowledge, Yasuho leaves her class in search of Josuke.

Meanwhile, Josuke also comes across the Jizo, before the pet shop owner approaches for conversation. They agree that Josuke and the Jizo wear the same hat, which the pet shop owner explains was donated by the SBR shop salesman; and he mentions that the American who died there wore a similar hat; before explaining about the legend of Johnny Joestar.

According to the pet shop owner, Johnny came to Japan primarily to marry Rina, having met on a passenger ship departing New York for Europe after the Steel Ball Run Race. The two lived together in America on a ranch, but after several years, Rina was struck by a mysterious disease. She would intermittently lose memories, and later, as the disease threatened her life, her skin began to crease into rigid, origami-like folds. Johnny decided to take his wife to Japan, better that she spend her final days in her hometown. However, in his anguish, Johnny decided to retrieve the holy Corpse from New York City, hoping to use it to cure Rina. Chased by U.S. government agents, Johnny brought Rina and the corpse to Morioh, by the meditation pine. He cures her of her disease, hoping it would be sent to a stranger. When it rests on their young son George, Johnny takes him away, and (in pictures rather than narration) uses Tusk along with the Corpse to take the disease onto himself. He falls off his horse onto several gingko leaves, which transport a boulder atop his head. The pet shop owner states that his is only one of many versions of the story, but Josuke believes it, and that it may have something to do with Holy's memory loss.

Yasuho has navigated to the Meditation Pine at the rear of the Higashikata estate by photos in the news stories she has researched. She reads there of a baby washed up nearby on November 13, 1901, wearing a necklace of gemstones. She notes that she can see the Higashikata house, when she is grabbed by a hand from inside the tree and momentarily groped in the darkness.

Paper Moon Deception
When the lights come on, Yasuho finds herself with Tsurugi Higashikata, who is playing with some origami in what Tsurugi describes as an earthquake shelter.

After playing with a fortune teller, Tsurugi acts impertinently towards Yasuho, and when she confronts the child, she realizes that Tsurugi is male. Tsurugi reveals that he, like his father Jobin Higashikata, his grandfather Norisuke, and several more generations back, the first born son of the Higashikata family live as females until they are 12 years old, to ward off certain "evil spirits".

Paisley Park inspires Josuke to send Yasuho a coded message on Joshu's cellphone. Yasuho, unnerved and preparing to leave, realizes her phone is missing when it sounds off. When she finds it, it has been folded into an origami frog that leaps at her eyes, causing her face to split and contort. This effect subsides, and Tsurugi notes that she must have seen his Stand, which she does not quite comprehend.

Leaving the room, phone in hand, she spots another room. Looking in the window, it is small and austere, containing a set of clothes similar to that worn by Kira, and a collection of objects including an Enter the Dragon poster and Ultraman figurine, among others.

Yasuho heads back into town, trailed by Tsurugi. She speaks with a woman with a particular, angular face, who asks for directions. Another woman passes with the same face, as well as a window cleaner, the mannequins in the window, and everyone around her, except for Tsurugi.

Before she can consider this, she rubs her eyes, accidentally removing her contact lenses. Heading home and replacing them, she finds that even her mother has this same face, and finally her own reflection. She is taunted by the woman who she assumed was her mother.

Upset, she rushes out of her home to the street, crying. She looks up and sees Tsurugi, unchanged. She successfully calls Josuke, who agrees to meet within 10 minutes at Gomamitsu café, in reference to his message. Yasuho confronts Tsurugi once more, but he repeats that he will always be available to help her in that room in the basement.

Elsewhere, Josuke also steps on an origami frog, his foot contorting slightly; his senses now changed so that he can only perceive the one face that haunts Yasuho.

Mistaking a shop for Gomamitsu Cafe, Yasuho realizes that she has begun to interpret all words as parts of this phrase. Joshu finds Josuke, taking his phone back, angered that he had called Yasuho. Yasuho mistakes Joshu for Josuke, narrowly passing him by. Thrilled by Yasuho's trust, and misunderstanding her words, Joshu leads Yasuho to a public bathroom, where he reveals his genitals, and begins rapidly undressing her with his Stand. Pausing when Yasuho calls Josuke's name, she strikes his head with a cistern lid and escapes. She approaches a car, mistaking its passengers' dress for police uniforms, before she is kidnapped and nearly force-fed a pill. When Yasuho shouts to stop the car, Paisley Park is able to disrupt the ankle of the driver, crashing the car into a post. Stumbling away, Yasuho's mother approaches and calls to her, whom Yasuho again fails to recognize. When Tsurugi reveals himself again, Yasuho concedes and follows him back to his underground playroom.

Josuke deduces that he is no longer afflicted by Tsurugi's Stand because he has fallen out of its range, and that Yasuho was its main target. Through the slot in the door of the second underground room, somebody spies on Tsurugi and Yasuho's return.

Tsurugi's Goal & the Architect
Yasuho calms in Tsurugi's playroom. He apologizes, admitting that he targeted her with his Stand, Paper Moon King. He states that anyone who comes near the Wall Eyes will awaken a Stand, and that the Higashikatas do not appear to discuss the subject among themselves.

Asking again the purpose of the underground complex, Tsurugi explains that it is a space dedicated to treating the mysterious illness that turns the skin hard like stone befalling all Higashikata firstborns. Yasuho is reminded of Holy's condition, whose brain is becoming hard and smooth, memories fragmenting, and that Kira tried to save her.

Falling asleep, a figure emerges from behind a jacket hanging on the wall. Uttering obscurities, mentioning Soft & Wet and an opinion that Josuke need not exist, the man pulls a sheet of clear material from his eyes, pinning it around Yasuho's wrists and face. Taking a pitcher of water, he appears to begin to waterboard Yasuho, waking her to a gasping panic. Emptying it, he tells her that he has been observing her for a long time, and explicitly to reveal her Stand. Breaking a glass and failing to cut the material, Yasuho reveals her Stand, shooting from her feet across the floor, before the man pins its leg with his foot, catching its head as it rises from the ground, shocking Yasuho. The man is able to accurately deduce aspects of the Stand's limitation, before it escapes his grasp through the hatch in the ceiling. Touching Josuke, Paisley Park reminds him of Tsurugi's implication in the earlier Stand attack, inspiring him to return to the Higashikata estate.

Telling Yasuho that he has been watching "all of them" up to now, the man introduces himself as Yotsuyu Yagiyama, a 28 year old architect, who most of all desires social status, for which purpose he intends to ensure that Josuke's memories do not return, when Josuke "dies again".

Slipping on an origami banana skin Yasuho had been folding, and falling, she is freed, just as he disappears. Afraid, Yasuho concludes that the Higashikatas must not be aware of Yotsuyu.

Norisuke, Tsurugi & Yotsuyu
In the morning, Josuke awakens in his bedroom, seeing from his window Tsurugi leaving from the back of the house, carrying bags full of food. Asking Daiya what there is on the far side of the yard, she mentions the Wall Eyes, some woods, and the debris of a ruined shed.

Norisuke asks Josuke about his experience at school, when Joshu interjects with a nonsensical, fictional account of the day, implied to be a result of damage inflicted by Yasuho by a large lump on his head.

From the balcony at the house's rear, Josuke identifies the shed, by the pine, and the spring where he emerged; all lined up with the Wall Eyes. Spotting Tsurugi, he gives chase, resolving to interrogate each member of the family.

He knocks his head on a hanging fig, before Norisuke approaches, introducing his fruit garden. Asking where he is going, Josuke tells Norisuke outright that he is following Tsurugi, and that he finds the Higashikatas highly suspicious, wishing to ask them all certain things directly. Norisuke offers to answer him, imploring him to remember that he has tried to treat Josuke as his own son. Mentioning Tsurugi, Holy Joestar and her illness, Josuke settles to ask Norisuke whether he killed Yoshikage Kira. Norisuke answers that he did not, and in three parts: First, that he knows of the power of the Wall Eyes to combine two objects, and argues that if he wished Kira dead, he should wish the same of Josuke. Second, that he is sympathetic to Kira's family, including Holy, being that theirs shares its fate with his, with respect to the curse of their disease. Third, that he actually needed Kira, believing that he had a clue as to their cure. Norisuke says that he adopted Josuke in the hope that he has retained these memories, reaffirms his wish for his family's happiness, and that he does not know the identity of the other person comprising Josuke, suggesting that Josuke should consider himself the individual currently searching for his identity. Asking Norisuke, a firstborn, how he himself was cured, Norisuke limits his answer to that his parents traded their lives to cure him.

Josuke asks Norisuke about Tsurugi, and the events between him and Yasuho the day before. Norisuke identifies Yasuho as Joshu's girlfriend, to Josuke's rebuttal. Josuke asks Norisuke's permission to question Tsurugi, before Norisuke pledges to accompany him.

Finally, Josuke asks what Norisuke's Stand is, mentioning his deduction that everyone in his family should possess one, and his awareness of Tsurugi's ability. Seemingly unaware that Tsurugi attacked him, Norisuke reveals however that he was aware of Tsurugi's ability.

Distracted, Norisuke notices the hatch to the basement open, describing the destroyed shed above it being designed a rest stop; in the past, the basement to store and research their fruit trees.

Norisuke momentarily reveals a fragment of his Stand; a hand, part of an arm and a head composed of jigsaw pieces; a long-distance Stand, reserving any more as private information. Joking, likening one's Stand to one's dirty secrets, he elicits Josuke's smile.

Yotsuyu, on elbows and knees behind a large flower pot behind Josuke, lightly touches his shoe, which Josuke barely sees. Turning, Josuke finds nothing, before warning Norisuke that he was touched. Josuke opines to Norisuke that there must be some dark phenomena within his estate secret even to him, given the obscure circumstances of Kira's death.

The pair discover that the heavy, large flower pots surrounding them are accelerating towards them. Unable to escape, the pots strike them from each angle, shattering, gradually crushing them. Yotsuyu peers from the obscurity of the basement hatch, remarking cryptically at Josuke's circumstances; returning to the estate to die again.
