SBR universe starts with Johnny, a selfish guy who is driven to kill to accomplish his goal. Then, Josuke (Gappy) seems to be even more of an asshole.

Part 6 spoiler incoming.

An interesting concept, which we won't see, is Part 9 where the JoJo isn't introduced until the second half, maybe even last third/quarter, and is the antagonist. Considering Part 9 would likely be the final Part, it could end in a fashion similar to the first legacy, with the antagonist accomplishing his goal (hence making it JoJo's story in the end), but then one survivor giving him the death he deserves. That would be quite a shock, but very intriguing and fun to read. Pucci was already very fun to read, imagine how fun it would be to read if a JoJo was the antagonist!

Imagine a story like Part 2's, where the heroes of the story have to try and get the remaining parts of Christ's corpse, before JoJo does.

As for settings, I'd be happy with anything, as long as it's outside of Japan/America. First of all, it's really unlikely for Araki to break the entire format for the last part. Knowing Araki, him making alternate Part 6 will result in a huge climatic ending. Like you said, it could result in the main character's death. Also, reading a Jojo as if they are a villian wouldn't really make much sense. I understand where you are coming from, that the AU Jojos have been much darker. However, this is mostly because of their past. Johnny's darker side was a cultivation to create Dark Determination, genius on Araki's part, and in general Johnny was almost sure he killed his brother. Even his father said he was dead to him, although not word by word. And for Josuke, he's probably the way he is because of Kira's side of their fusion. You also have to take into account that he hasn't gained as much time to grow morally. I also really doubt that Part 9 would feature them collecting the Holy Corpse parts. I always thought that if they incorporated the Corpse, it would just be someone fusing with it, just like Dio's Bone/Green Baby in Part 6. Last note, but what's wrong with a Japanese/American setting? Is it because they're common? In that case, what did you have in mind?
