Talk:Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)/@comment-28977069-20170123044038

I have a theory about Josuke and why is he is somimportant that Part 8 is called Jojolion.

Short version: Josuke from Part 8 isn't just an amalgamation of Josefumi Kujo and Yoshikage Kira, but also of the Holy Corpse from SBR. Hence the part's name as Jojolion, which is a derivation from the word Evangelion, or in other words, gospel. 'Josuke' is Jesus reborn.

Long version: Jojolion Chapter 22, The Legend of Johnny Joestar, shows Johnny stealing the Holy Corpse from the vault it was in and used it to 'heal' his wife. But when its power, which is very likely to be Love Train, gave her sickness to their son, Johnny had to use the Corpse and Tusk to transfer his 'misfortune' to him. Afterwards, the corpse is retrieved by the American agents chasing him and is shipped back to America.

However, this story isn't history, it's a legend told by an old man to Josuke after the Shakedown Road arc, and it is one of many stories about Johnny Joestar's death, so it can be assumed that some parts of it that are shown in the chapter aren't necessarily true. What CAN be determined as true is Johnny's son, George, continues the Joestar-Higashikata bloodline, but as to the Corpse itself, the truth might be a bit different.

It might've been left buried on the coast of Morioh instead of being retrieved. It would explain why the spot near the Wall Eyes and near the Higashikata family household is known for its supernatural element of 'Exchange', which was shown by Kyo Nijimura in Jojolion Chapter 17, The Lemon and the Tangerine with her burying a lemon and a tangerine in the ground for a moment before picking it up and split them to show that they have exchanges seeds. Not to mention that in Part 7, the Corpse Parts are known to create Devil's Palms, locations that emerge because of the Corpse Parts' presence, so a full Corpse being buried would surely have similar effects.

Continuing from the above theory, when the 2011 earthquake happened in the story and hit Morioh, the Corpse is disturbed which somehow caused the creation of the Wall Eyes. When Josefumi and Kira dies, it is likely that they died and sank into the torn ground at the same spot where the Corpse is buried. Josefumi, having eaten the Rokakaka fruit, kick-started the 'exchange', with not just Kira, but the Saint's Corpse buried within.

This theory would also explain why Josuke has no memories of either Josefumi or Kira, because he's neither of them. He's Jesus reborn with four testicles and the Joestar birthmark, and the reason why Part 8 is called Jojolion.
