"Paisley Park" and "Born This Way" (story arc)

"Paisley Park" and "Born This Way" (『ペイズリー・パーク』と『ボーン・ディス・ウェイ』, "Peizurī Pāku" to "Bōn Disu Wei" ) is the third story arc in JoJolion.

It narrates Josuke's misadventures, pursued by a biker Stand in the streets of Morioh, but aided by a mysterious GPS.

Summary

After reading the family tree book, Josuke makes a plan to find Kira's mother, Holy Joestar-Kira, whom Daiya mentions resides in Morioh hospital.

Utilizing his phone's GPS on the way, which seems to communicate contradictory instructions, Josuke is trailed and attacked by a dark motorcycle rider. Josuke manages to kick off the rider's helmet, revealing a Stand composed of both bike and rider.

Josuke deduces that mysteriously, his GPS is actually directing him in escape of his pursuer. Reaching the hospital, almost defeated, Josuke finds and defeats Kyo Nijimura, the Higashikata family's maid as well as the motorcycle rider Stand's users.

Josuke asks Nijimura whether or not she attacked him under Norisuke's orders. She reacts with distaste and insists on killing him if he approaches Holy, who she reveals to be both her and Yoshikage Kira's mother. Thus, Josuke resolves to find another way to conduct his research.
