Gappy decides he will help this mother before he dies, he puts his jacket under the tire, unknowingly the boy sees gappys hair, gappy helps the mother get her son to the hospital, the boy grows up to be josuke, and gappy passes away, knowing he didnt need to be kira, or josefumi, but be his own person who effected many peoples lives. Honestly, I would rather that Araki just leave that alone - it is poor that he seemed to forget about that detail when he was writing Diamond is Unbreakable, but I would hate for him to pull a manoeuvre like that with JoJolion. I do not get why everyone wants JoJolion to link up with the events in the original universe so badly; why not just appreciate JoJolion for being its own piece of fiction instead of hoping Araki tries to shoehorn a physical connection with Diamond is Unbreakable with it? Both Steel Ball Run and JoJolion have proven themselves capable as independent works without having to rely on the characters and story of the original universe - I mean, fuck, controversial opinion here but I believe I prefer JJL to DiU, and I love SBR over any of the previous Parts set in the original universe, as much as I love each of them in their own way.
