This will be simple and quick. No, I doubt it would have PTSD and the usual statements that are suppose to back it up isn't useful such as these statements from this one's top comment when googling as it is apart of a topped reddit post:
-Jotaro loses his shit when Kira says muda
-He is hesitant to/dislikes using time stop. Doesn't use it all unless in combat (part PTSD, part the fact that time stop puts a heavy burden on Jotaro's internal organs, mainly his heart. It is why he can't push past 5 seconds, but DIO can. Stated by Araki)
-Is visibly shaken when talking about DIO/the Agents of DIO in part 6
-Loses his shit when Pucci throws knives at Jolyne in the same manner DIO did to him
Also, you can just infer from a lot of his mannerisms that he holds everything inside and is deeply sad/suffering when remembering the crusaders (his brief cameo in Part 5). Not all PTSD manifests as panic.
Now some of the comment did debunk this users claims but this post is from me, personally, now if you watch the show than some of this wouldn't make sense nor indicate some sort of PTSD.
A strong reason why Jotaro acts a bit differently after Part 3 is literally from his aging and maturing. Infact...
17 (Part 3)
28 (Part 4)
30 (Part 5)
40s (Part 6)
Jotaro was still a teenager in Part 3 happen and when Part 4 begun, it was 11 years after part 3.
I would say, some of the claims that are called out can be seen as misinterpretations such as him "[Losing] his shit when Pucci throws knives at Jolyne in the same manner DIO did to him" because Jolyne is in danger and unlike when Jotaro dealt with this back in Part 3. He saw what DIO was doing in that moment during the time stop and was able to counter it (for the most part) unlike Jolyne where she didn't know what Pucci was doing during the Time Stop.
Jotaro cares about Jolyne, she's her father so him panicking isn't a sign of PTSD, it is a worry about her dying.
Now why would someone have this fan theory in there is head, beats me. I feel like it comes from the appeal of it since it feels like it gives Jotaro depth even though it literally doesn't make sense with the claims that are suppose to support it.
So Giorno is the protagonist of Diamond Is Unbreakable, and Josuke is the protagonist of Golden Wind/Venta Aurora. What changes?
Bottom line, go cry about it

Well with Caesar still alive, I think that would make a stronger rivalry between him and Joseph to eventually push themselves even further. The fight with Kars could have also went differently as with Caesar's long range they might defeat Kars sooner, but I personally doubt that. So I think Joseph still loses his hand when he originally did, but he would likely be a lot stronger in part 3 if Caesar was alive, and I also would give Caesar a family and him and the rest of them would have a stand. Caesar's stand is probably another Hermit Purple like Joseph realistically, but I can see him having a grandson and granddaughter who tag along in Stardust Crusaders, but I think he would have a son who dies against Dio before Part 3 begins and he stabs himself Dio's arrow and that's how the Zeppeli's get there Stands. (And this would be the same arrow that is used to give Pucci and Weather Report there stands, plus the same arrow that Polnareff had in the final fight of Part 5 against Diavolo.)
There's many routes this could go in, because now Dio has 2 (maybe 4 depending if his grandkids are taught, which I'm still debating) hamon users he could take from, but now Dio also has more trouble. Thankfully, because of Dio's nature, he'd play around a bit which would lead to them discovering the ability of time stop differently. Iggy's death would not happen because Caesar would use his bubble cutters on Vanilla Ice which would accidentally reflect the sunlight onto him, which would reveal his weakness earlier. Avdol's death is unavoidable though, so unfortunately Avdol would still die to Cream. Caesar's kit is really useful against Dio, so before opening the coffin he may have the bubbles over it to reflect light just in case. If that doesn't happen, we could assume the teams would split differently, and I'll assume it's groups of four because that would be smarter(the smartest choice would be a whole squad but they're unlikely to take that option). In this case, the teams would be Caesar's grandson, Jotaro, Polnareff, and Iggy together, and Joseph, Caesar, Caesar's granddaughter, and Kakyoin together. Caesar would likely take the main fighting point because he has range that's greatly effective against Dio plus his hamon experience. Kakyoin would use the emerald splashes to deal with Dio, while Caesar and Joseph would likely support by keeping Kakyoin coated in Hermit Purple while also making it more difficult for Dio. Caesar's granddaughter (depending her Stand) would be helpful maybe but I'm not sure, that honestly depends on her Stand (I'm still thinking of stands for the grandchildren). Through this pressure, Dio would probably stop time before the 20 meter radius emerald splash takes place, but because all of them would be well guarded, he can't really do anything. This encounter would give enough time for Jotaro and the others to get here, and the fight would take place. If they play their cards right, the only stardust crusader (including Caesar and his grandchildren) that would die is Avdol, and in this what if, I will say they do play there cards right, Joseph, Jotaro, Caesar, Caesar's grandkids, Polnareff, Iggy, and Kakyoin would end up alive at the end.
Now as for part 4, Joseph and Caesar probably would not be in the state Joseph was in part 4, in fact they're more likely to look like they are in there early to mid 50's (While in part 3 they would probably look like they're in their late 30's/early 40's) because remember, if they both compete, their hamon knowledge and abilities would be better, meaning that the youthfulness could be greater. Part 4 would probably go on normally, and they could maybe locate Kira earlier because of Joseph's ability ACTUALLY being used, plus Caesar also having Hermit Purple. Would this save many people? Probably because I believe that Kakyoin and Caesar's grandchildren are also here too (when they show up, probably earlier then Joseph and Caesar honestly). He would use his range and emerald splash to the advantage, and might even pull out a 20 meter radius. This could prevent the death of Aya, plus Hayato 's dad, and the whole body change, and also Caesar's grandkids could show up here or maybe instead it's Polnareff who's here with Caesar's grandkids in Italy? IMO, Caesar's grandkids will be in DIU, while Polnareff is still in Italy, but Iggy would be with Polnareff IMO, so he's not completely alone. The part would likely be a lot shorter though, or maybe we can make a new main villain to replace Kira? But I think Kira would be defeated sooner (like Sheer Heart Attack arc soon), Aya would still be alive, and Hayato's dad is also alive that means. But unfortunately, I think that Shigechi would still encounter Kira and die to Killer Queen when he originally did IMO.
Part 5 would probably be Caesar and Joseph going to Italy with Koichi (his granddaughter I believe would marry Kakyoin after SDC, so she's busy with him, maybe the grandson shows up, but I don't believe he would). I could see Caesar would try assisting Giorno because Italy is his home, and Joseph would want to help his uncle. By the time they hear Polnareff's voice through recording, Caesar/Joseph is likely to try and call in the others who could try come in but I doubt it since Diavolo basically paid off everything to keep an eye on that kinda stuff, plus the final fight was happening in a couple of hours later, so unfortunately, no Jotaro, Kakyoin, and Caesar grandkids in Part 5, but I can see Koichi and Fugo maybe staying, but I'll think about it, and maybe even Abbacchio can survive? But I don't imagine to much changing, but I think that Caesar would die in this Part since I can't see him doing much against Diavolo but I can see him maybe dying in the place of one of the characters, and I can see Joseph being the one in the turtle in Polnareff's place because of the whole Joseph always cheats death thing. I also see Iggy in this part like I said earlier on, and like Caesar, I honestly believe that Iggy would die against Diavolo. IMO, I think Abbacchio and/or Narancia might survive, Bruno has a chance to live but it seems unlikely since I still think he goes through everything he originally went through in the part. But Giorno, Mista, Trish, Fugo, Koichi, and Polnareff are surviving Part 5, with Joseph being stuck in Coco Jumbo, Abbacchio and Narancia are 50/50, Bruno most likely still dies unless Caesar takes his place, but Caesar and Iggy I feel are dying to Diavolo regardless.
Part 6 is the first part that Caesar and Joseph are finally out of the story (this is because Caesar would die to Diavolo while Joseph is stuck in Coco Jumbo), but Caesar's grandkids, Kakyoin, and Polnareff (because now he is healed by Giorno after the Diavolo fight), would be in it. What would this do? Honestly, the part starts off the same, but I think Kakyoin and Caesar's granddaughter would have twins, one son and one daughter to actually join the story, with Jolyne and Kakyoin's son dating and being a couple somewhere in the story, with Anasui being jealous, and I see the daughter hanging out with Jolyne, Ermes, and Foo Fighters. I also think Caesar's grandson and Polnareff maybe have kids, Polnareff unlikely though, but I would like to include Josuke in the part, maybe also the other Morioh Warriors? I personally don't think Stone Ocean would start with any real changes but I will think of Stand's for the new characters . But Foo Fighters and Weather Report's deaths I think would still happen I believe, and I also think that Kakyoin, Caesar's grandkids, and Polnareff would return with Jotaro in the final fight. Now I think that with more characters here, this definitely makes the Pucci fight a lot more unpredictable. But I think that Anasui and Hermes could still die against Pucci when they originally did, unless someone takes there spot or maybe they have a healer or if Josuke is still around, maybe more characters die to Pucci, but I think that instead Kakyoin would use the 20 meter emerald splash to go after Pucci. This definitely would distract Pucci long enough for Jotaro to pull off one last time stop and actually put an end to Pucci before the universe could reset.
And after that, maybe I make more JoJo parts maybe?
But that's my story on What If Caesar Survived. I know this isn't good, but I think it could be something fun, like a fanfiction or something. Anything I can work on, tell me in the comments, as I'd like some criticism on my story. Tell me some opinions you guys have on this timeline, like regarding who should live and die?
I cant get the little guys out my head

DISCLAIMER: Spoilers for part 4. If you haven't watched it, I suggest you do if you don't want to get spoiled. If you don't mind spoilers, go right ahead, friend.

Greetings and welcome to the continuation of "What If The Villains Had A Requiem?" which, this time, I intend on finishing. Today's villain, as you can see from the picture above, is Kira Yoshikage, our famous hand fetish man (and one if my favourite villains). The last time I did this one it came out looking like absolute dogshit, so here's the remastered ver. you could say.
______
Basic information: Requiem stands are simply normal stands that were pierced by the stand arrow. Do not mistake this for what happened in the Canon to Part 4's villain, Kira Yoshikage. He was pierced with the stand arrow, not his stand, which is why he doesn't possess a Requiem Stand. What's the difference, you may wonder? When the stand user is shot with the stand arrow once again, the user will simply gain another ability (seen with BTD). However, when the stand is pierced by the arrow, it changes in appearance and abilities completely. A Requiem Stand is the result of what the user needs/desires at the time, i.e Chariot Requiem: Chariot Requiem exists to protect and keep the stand arrow from those who wish to use it for evil (Polnareff said it in one of the episodes but I can't remember which one). As seen, CR doesn't know many combat abilities but does possess soul manipulation. It is also shown that the stand itself becomes sentient and (from what I've observed) depending on the situation and what the user desires, will either protect, obey, disobey, or harm the user. However, in this particular situation, I will be covering Kira (or in this case, remaster), but, this is not canon. This is just a simple little made up scenario I came up with one day out of boredom and curiosity. (Scenario incoming)
__
Kira didn't expect this to happen. He was already shot by the arrow twice, now it's happened again? Or more specifically, his stand got shot. The result was something marvelous, exactly what he required in his time of need. Kira could've cared less for the arrow, but now, he's beginning to understand it's purpose. "I have to thank you, Higashikata Josuke, without your meddling, I would've never become as powerful as now. Killing couldn't be easier now." He was calm. Of course he was. He had won. And Josuke knew it. All Hayato could do now is stare in fear as his "father" would take the lives of three people who wanted to bring him to justice.
"You've caused me quite the trouble, Higashikata Josuke. So many restless nights but now, I can be rid of you for good. Farewell and good riddance." - Kira Yoshikage/Kawajiri Kosaku KQR

Killer Queen Requiem
Stand user: Kira Yoshikage, Kawajiri Kosaku (stolen identity)
Stand Name: Killer Queen Requiem
Localised name: Deadly Queen Requiem
Destructive power: ???
Speed: ???
Range: ???
Persistence: ???
Precision: ???
Developmental potential: ???
Limit/More susceptible to: ???
Ability: When activated Kira can choose whatever he wants destroyed whether or not it is within his range. Kira is no longer required to touch a subject in order for a bomb to be placed. All he must do is point his finger at his victims and press the trigger that is his hand. Josuke can no longer restore any object(s) or person(s) destroyed by Kira.
Sheer Heart Attack V2 (automated & controlled):
Kira posesses complete control over Sheer Heart Attack, can be summonded multiple times, and is completely indestructible (i.e: SP can not crack it at all). Whenever multiple SHAs are summoned, Kira can decide the size and the effects the explosions have on whomever or whatever he may be attacking without it having any effect on the enviroment. Sheer Heart Attack no longer pursues the hottest object within it's range, instead, it pursues whoever it deems a threat to Kira (Kira can also take control of SHA when he wants). If the person continues to flee, SHA's explosions get bigger (there is no limit to the size of the explosions). Kira can grant immunity to whomever/whatever he wishes through physical contact or through KQR should the subject be out of range.
Stray Cat → Cool Cat + bomb creation (fused with KQR):
Cool Cat can create bombs out the bubbles Cool Cat produces no matter how big or small, inanimate or not(i.e: examples being: pencil, marble, dynamite, gun etc). Kira can choose whether the bombs he created are timed or not. Cool cat can also still create bubble bombs that now act as homing bombs that shoot out lazer beams (that can turn objects into bombs) at their directed target (reference to the lyric "dynamite with a lazer beam"). The layers have no effect on the enviroment or any other person/object that isn't a target.
Bites The Dust → March of The Black Queen:
MoTBQ can be used this anytime Kira wishes. He can go back into any point in time of his choosing and in the process destroy every one of his mistakes as if they never happened. This bomb grants Kira absolute immunity to each and everyone– or thing that will ever try pursuing him by exploding the pursuer no matter where in the world or in which point of the past it may be. This ability is automated and does not affect Kira. (The Earth explodes when this bomb is triggered)
Here is your KQR theme + animation (there is sadly, no sound concept for KQR so this will have to do)
KQR is a very difficult one to cover because there's not much to work with, or there is but essentially it's already perfect as it is. All it needs is some tweaking.
So in this timeline everyone survives Stardust Crusaders (by everyone, I mean Jotaro, Joseph, Polnareff, Avdol, Iggy, and Kakyoin ALL live (somehow, you can make that part up.)) But during the arrow investigation the, characters that canonically survived 3 and died in 3 go split up like how Jotaro and Polnareff did in the OG. (So Jotaro, Joseph, and Polnareff travel together, and Avdol, Iggy, and Kakyoin travel together.) So how would each timeline flow in this alternative universe?
AU 1: Joseph, Jotaro, and Polnareff are at Morioh like how Jotaro and Joseph originally were, while Avdol, Iggy, and Kakyoin are stuck in Italy like how Polnareff originally was.
AU 2: Avdol, Iggy, and Kakyoin are in Morioh like how Jotaro and Joseph originally were, while Joseph, Jotaro, and Polnareff are stuck in Italy like how Polnareff originally was.
So how would 4 and 5 change, and also how would part 6 (Stone Ocean's) story change in this universe as well?
(Part 4) Yoshikage Kira's Stand Killer Queen, with it's attack Sheer Heart Attack, is taken from groupe Queen's song Killer Queen from their album Sheer Heart Attack.

How will it change? For me.
If Kakyoin lived, and Joseph died, it have to depend when Joseph did pass.
If it's in Battle Tendency after killing Kars.
Then Dio rules the world, and Kakyoin will still be alive forever being a slave to Dio.
If it's in SDC though,
I'd have to assume that maybe instead Kakyoin somehow survives being a donut, or instead gets knives thrown at him while Joseph gets donut, or there roles in the final fight are heavily altered to make it work. Then DIU would never happen since Joseph can't discover Josuke, Kakyoin can replace Koichi in meeting up with Giorno, and Stone Ocean probably has Kakyoin helping, and maybe Polnareff, and Giorno if Kakyoin survives the part and keeps in contact with them.
If we go as far as to have Kakyoin and Joseph both survive SDC, but Joseph dies in DIU, I doubt much changes, and if he does die then it probably be to BTD and he'd have to meet Hayato before Rohan did. I believe Kakyoin can help out in DIU, and the part having Joseph die really would make the ending more impactful. GW, and SO are probably the same, maybe Kakyoin helps, and maybe he has a family to help?
And that's what I think happens if my boy Kakyoin lives, but the Chad himself has to pay the price instead. What would your take on a timeline where your favorite that lives and dies gets switched like?
Assuming Stroheim and the Nazis won WWII in JJBA, how would it affect there characters? How would Joseph and Lisa Lisa feel about the world being ruled by them? And what would Stardust Crusaders-Stone Ocean look like with Stroheim and the Nazi's victory?
