Japanese Jorge (Joji)
Jorge is Japanese by birth, but his parents, unable to take care of him, give him up, and his is adopted by Jonda Joestar. Joji is raised as if he were English, and is a teenage detective who has solved a lot of cases, including 15 locked room cases in a row. He ends up going to The Arrow House, the site of another Locked Room Murder where he meets Rohan Kishibe and Reimi Sugimoto. While discussing the murder, when they find someone knocking at the door. Opening the door, they are confronted by the Nijimura brothers and Koji Hirose. Joji understands that the Arrow House is an actual Stand, and that Reimi may be the embodiment of that Stand. It isn't long after however that an earthquake strikes, and the town of Morioh splits off from the mainland and begins to float through the sea. Morioh develops a dome that covers the town. Suddenly, Funny Valentine appears on the top of the dome to deliver a message stating that the American Army will flip the island if nothing changes. Joji would later find a door in The Arrow House that leads to another house where physics don't seem to really apply. We are then informed that another Island from Italy, Nero Nero Island is on a collision course with Morioh. Nero Nero Island has an intense presence of Passione. As the Island grows closer, it sprouts legs and rises out of the water. It begins to walk across the surface of the now Island of Morioh. As Joji follows it, he finds a stone that is a telephone and answers it to find himself talking to Giorno Giovanna who hires the detective and his friends to help him find Diavolo, and teams them each up with members of the Gangstars.

Joji ends up partnered up with Narancia. It isn't long thereafter that Joji and Narancia are teleported to a space capsule over Mars when his deceased friend Tsukumojuku tries to touch Jorge's shoulder. Inside the capsule are astronauts made up of Funnier Valentine, Enrico Pucci, Pocoloco Tripleseven and Goyathlay Soundman. They near Mars' secret moon which begins to develop tentacles. This moon is being held in orbit by a man running across Mars with a rope attached to the moon, and that man is later revealed to be a man named Kars. Narancia attempts to use his stand, U-Boat, to attack them, but is stopped by Soundman. Pucci then uses Whitesnake to take their memory DISCS and read them, but is unsure of the meaning behind what Tsukumojuku is doing. This moon then manifests a massive eye, and it is revealed to them through the PA System by President The Funniest Valentine that the United Nations has called "The Eyed Balloon" and he further elaborates on Kars, his fate, and the ultimatum that if they can not escape from The Eyed Balloon in ten minutes that they will detonate the shuttle to ensure that Kars can not return to earth. The crew lands on Mars where they will confront Kars, but Funnier Valentine then betrays his crew and kills Pocoloco and nearly kills Soundman. However Soundman survives and attempts to use all the sand on Mars to take his revenge, but is killed by Valentine. However, before Valentine can escape, his ship is destroyed by Narancia's U-Boat. They find out that Kars had snuck onto the vessel with them, and upon realizing that there is only four hours of oxygen left, proceeds to reform The Eyed Balloon into a star ship. It is then revealed that The Eyed Balloon is really 36 Alternate versions of Kars from different universes. He then brings U-Boat into his newly created ship. Kars, Joji, Narancia and Pucci all escape Mars when suddenly the rock hone rings and they are informed by Bruno Bucciarati to stop dawdling. As they make their way home, Kars hijacks U-Boat to start seeing inside of Narancia's mind where he finds images of Trish Una who is apparently a porn star in this universe as opposed to a gangster. Kars then uses the information of U-Boat to create his own version of U-Boat and even forms his own version of Whitesnake, each of which he calls "Ultimate". As they return to earth, the Kars Starship burns up upon reentry and the two versions of U-Boat destroy the airplanes trying to flip Morioh, but they crash into Morioh and flip it anyway, revealing the United Kingdom underneath. There, they encounter nothing but Zombies attempting to eat people. Here, Joji encounters Penelope de la Rosa who is attempting to kill all the Antonio skin zombies with her ability. They eventually encounter Valentine, as well as Dio Brando who possesses marks resembling those of Jesus as well as a stand known as The Passion which manifests as a crown of thorns upon his head. This encounter effects Pucci who not only develops C-Moon but also Made in Heaven from the encounter. Pucci ends up outside of the dome surrounding the United Kingdom where he proceeds to speed up time and reset the universe approximately 36 times. It is then revealed that Diavolo and Kira were found dead in the Arrow house and that Pucci was responsible. Reimi drops the Stand Arrow and Giorno picks it up and transforms Gold Experience into Gold Experience Requiem, and then traps Pucci as well Made in Heaven in a timeless void. However, Bruno believes something is wrong with Giorno and it is revealed that Giorno was really a skin zombie of Antonio, who then transforms into Diavolo, who uses King Crimson to attack Joji and take him to Dio's coffin. Diavolo opens the coffin, but Dio betrays Diavolo and drinks his blood before crushing his skull. After a battle with Giorno, Dio turns Giorno into another Dio and puts him in the coffin in place of the original Dio. Dio then takes blood from a version of Kars, becoming an Ultimate Life Form himself. Ultimate Kars and Ultimate Dio face off against each other while Funny Valentine takes Joji to another dimension where he is met by two other Funny Valentines who explain to Joji that he is a singularity, and that no other Joji Joestar exists in any other dimension, much like the Saint's Corpse. Funny Valentine is then killed by Kars. The Funniest Valentine appears and jumps out of a helicopter while Dio and Kars fight. Kars manages to manifest Soundman's stand, Dune and then traps Dio in a sand pillar. However, Dio breaks out of it. Joji is then sucked into one of Valentine's secret dimensions, and then is sent back to Morioh where Kars is. Kars says they need to find the real Yoshikage Kira as the one killed in the Arrow House was actually Kosaku Kawajiri. There, they use Kira's ability to use Bites the Dust to go back in time to the Steel Ball Run's universe where Dio is beheaded, and they reattach the head of Jonathan Joestar which Erina had kept safe. Jonathan is then revived and Dio takes the body of Diego Brando who had lost his head to Lucy Steel and flees. Kars then returns everyone to their home dimensions, but Penelope goes back with Joji to his home dimension where she marries his father and has a baby.
