Hilarious when people try to make SBR universe characters perfectly align with their original universe counterparts because then you end up with the worlds worst math problem:

(Kinda jotaro but with josukes fashion sensibilities + also kind of jotaro but definitely yoshikage Kira) /2 = josuke again

JoJolion Ch. 64-70

These are "The Plant Appraiser -- Rai Mamezuku (31)" and "Urban Guerilla and Doremifasolatido" arcs. Unlike Rai Mamezuku's desserts, it's kind of bad.

But first we gotta clear Chapter 64, which is a one-shot called "Mother and Child". I tend to think of it as an "origin story" for Jobin Higashikata, although it's really just how he survived the Rock Disease when he was a kid.

So just to bring everyone up to speed: In 1901, Johnny Joestar stole the Saint Corpse from Part 7 and used its miraculous power to cure his wife from the Rock Disease. It worked, but the disease was immediately transferred to their youngest son, George. So Johnny used the Golden Spin to make the Saint Corpse transfer the Rock Disease to himself. This produced some sort of miracle that gave the coastal fault lines of Morioh special powers. For the next 110 years, the land around the fault lines would cause people to get Stands, and things buried in the soil near the fault lines would be blended together somehow.

It's not clear what became of the Joestar family, but Rina's side of the family, the Higashikatas, built a shrine where Johnny died, and when Noruisuke Higashikata IV was a boy, his mother used the equivalent exchange powers of the land near the shrine to take the Rock Disease onto herself, thereby sparing her son.

I'm confused by Tsurugi's opening narration in this story, because he talks about his great-grandmother's sacrifice like it's an old family ritual, dating back generations, but he also says she's the first one who decided to do it. Norisuke plans to repeat the ritual for Tsurugi, sacrificing himself just as his mother had done for him, but that hasn't happened yet. And as we're about to see, Jobin's survival was achieved a bit differently. So it's not much of a tradition.

We flash back to Jobin's childhood. He's not dressed up like a girl, the way Tsurugi is today, but Tsurigi said the family always raises the firstborn boys as girls until the age of 12. But this is a superstitious ritual to try to "fool" the Rock Disease, and at this point, Jobin's already got memory loss symptoms from the early stages of the disease, so maybe the family decided he should drop the disguise since it no longer served any purpose.

Anyway, he goes on some sort of Boy Scout trip, and there's a bully in the troop who coerced him into stealing his mom's underwear and also taking photos of her in the shower. Apparently Jobin forgets things that he did the day before, so I'm not sure how he remembered these instructions, or how he knew to bring this stuff today. It doesn't matter, because the bully gets caught pretty much immediately.

The bully's in pretty deep trouble over this fiasco, so he tries to force Jobin to burn down the house of the scoutmaster or den mother or whatever. The lady who caught him, that's what I'm trying to say. He wants Jobin to burn her house down while she's in it. When he refuses, he acts like he's gonna light Jobin on fire, until Jobin's Stand, Speed King kicks in, and he does the trick he used on Yasuho in the previous arc. Speed King lets Jobin store and transfer heat. He touches something and he can store heat inside of it, and it gets released when someone touches that same surface. In this case, he touches the bully directly and bursts some blood vessels in his head.

Distraught, Jobin goes to his mother for help, and she sees this as an opportunity in disguise. The bully isn't dead yet, so she drags him to the shrine to perfrom the same equivalent exchange that Norisuke's mother did. I think the idea here is that everyone sort of expected Caato to just sacrifice herself for Jobin, the same way Norisuke's mom did for Norisuke. Or maybe she had been considering it herself and looking for a way out, and this kid has provided a convenient patsy.

I had wondered why Caato hadn't already done something like this when Jobin began to experience Rock Disease symptoms, but maybe you have to wait for the disease to start before you can remove it, and also Caato's pregnant with Daiya in this scene. It's likely that whatever she would have done for Jobin was going to wait until she could give birth.

As she buries the boy in the soil, Caato teaches Jobin that some people are just born in a better position than others, and she wants him to always climb higher in life, no matter what happens. So this informs their attitude in the story, where both mother and son are much more ambitious and ruthless than the rest of the family.

Caato might have committed the perfect crime, since no one else knew Jobin knocked the bully out, or that Caato drove him home in her car trunk. For five years, everyone probably assumed the bully ran away from home that night and never returned. However, a search for a pair of foreign snapping turtles led to the discovery of the bully's corpse, and then it didn't take long to find out Caato had been the one to bring him there in her car. She was convicted of murder, and served a 15-year sentence.

Back in the present, Josuke and Yasuho are on their way to Mt. Hanarero to meet the mysterious "Plant Appraiser". Norisuke arranged this because he's a secret expert that Norisuke knows but Jobin doesn't. And the Appraiser would be the only one skilled enough to locate the Rocacaca branch graft in the Higashikata orchard.

But Josuke's more concerned about how things ended up with their last enemy, Dolomite. They interrogated him after Yasuho defeated him, but he really didn't have much to say that they didn't already know. And so Josuke believes that Dolomite wasn't talking to them at all. Instead, he must have been talking to someone else, making it as clear as he could that he had nothing to do with any of this Rocacaca business, and that Jobin had recruited him to find out who Josuke was meeting. Dolomite warned Josuke not to meet the Plant Appraiser at Mt. Hanarero, suggesting that if he dropped the whole thing now, maybe he would be safe, but that warning was probably just a clever way to tell that "someone else" what Josuke's next move would be.

And that all tracks, but what I don't understand is how Dolomite communicated all of this. Just to jump ahead, there's four more Rock Humans to deal with, and they're all posing as human doctors, so maybe one of them was lurking nearby and just hear him speaking. Alternately, Dolomite surreptitiously used the phone Norisuke had given Josuke to call the Four Doctors, and they heard him through the phone. But in that case, you'd think Josuke would just look up the call records in the phone and get their number. Anyway, the point is that Josuke is certain that the enemy knows what he's up to, and they may already be in pursuit.

Then the bus driver stumbles out of his seat, and this other guy hijacks the bus. It turns out he's the guy they were on their way to find, Rai Mamezuku. I guess he expected trouble so he was on the bus to try to get an inside track.

Much of this arc is Rai explaining his position in all of this. Norisuke asked him for his help, and he respects Norisuke a lot, but he resents the way Josuke leaked all of this to their enemies, putting Rai's life in danger. As Rai sees it, he's the only one who can find the Rocacaca branch now, but more importantly, he's the only one who can ensure the branch survives the winter. So that makes him indispensable, which means that protecting Rai should be Josuke's highest priority. Yasuho, on the other hand, is a distant third, since he doesn't even understand why she came along.

So he basically bosses the others around, and he takes the bus to a parking lot, where he thinks they'll be safer. I'm not quite sure how he figured that out, but he was the first one to notice the trees moving, which tipped him off that the enemy was moving underground.

Fortunately, Rai knows there's a ski lift thing they can use to take refuge. As it turns out, he lives here, and he's got all sorts of amenities built into the poles on this lift. One pole contains all his kitchen stuff, and there's another with a bathroom, and a third with his clothes.

Oh, and he grows strawberries on the mountain, which he can pick from the lift cars using his Stand, Doggystyle. It's... basically Stone Free, but not as versatile. Rai can unravel his body and grab things from great distances, but he can't do all the stringy-stuff that Jolyne did in Part 6.

He makes dessert for his guests while he analyzes the whole situation with the Rocacaca branch. See, Yoshikage Kira and Josefumi Kujo's plan was to steal a branch from the smuggler gang and graft it to a tree in the Higashikata orchard. It's strongly implied that Norisuke was at least partially aware of what they were doing, though he didn't learn of the fruit or the branch until later. Kira's plan was to harvest the fruit from the branch and use it to save his mother, Holly.

However, grafting the branch to a tree on the Higashikata property changed the whole game. The fruit that grew on the branch had new powers thanks to the miracle-infused soil of that land. This New Rocacaca could perform equivalent exchange between two people. So instead of a person swapping their healthy eyes for a new leg, or trading their jaw for a healed shoulder, a person could use the New Rocacaca fruit to transfer all of their ailments onto a whole other person.

That's how we ended up with Josuke. Kira was fatally wounded, and when Josefumi fed him the fruit, it started to heal Kira but at Josefumi's expense. Josefumi used a second bite of fruit to try to complete the process, but instead of swapping Josefumi's life to save Kira's, it swapped the half-dead Kira and the half-dead Josefumi with two new bodies: One live (Josuke) and one dead (the corpse they found later on).

But in the right hands, someone could use the New Rocacaca to basically cure death. The Rock Human smugglers were already selling the fruit to rich assholes and making a killing, but this New Rocacaca could make a rich asshole even healthier, provided they could afford to get a pasty to suffer all the downsides of the exchange. So Rai suspects that their new enemies are either doctors or more Rock Humans. It's actually both, but we'll get into that in a minute.

Speaking of the enemy, he manages to attack these guys anyway, using the trees to reach them with his Stand. That Stand acts like some sort of flesh-eating bacteria. Both Yasuho and Rai are affected, and Josuke uses Soft and Wet to carry the bugs away from Yasuho's leg before they can do any harm. However Rai's on his own, and his left hand just gets devoured in seconds, so he has to cut it off before the infection spreads to the rest of his body.

Rai isn't mad about this, but he is annoyed that Josuke forgot his priorities. If something happens to Rai, that's it. No one finds the Rocacaca branch and it will die over the winter. So Josuke should be protecting him at all costs. Yasuho is expendable at best, a distraction at worst. So Rai shoves her out of the lift car. He believes the enemy will emerge from the ground to attack her, and that might give them an idea of what they're dealing with.

And this cliffhanger was pretty important to me, because this was the end of Chapter 66, which is where my JoJo liveblog ended in 2017. I tried to keep up with the story in the years that followed, but I never really felt like I could keep track of all the plot threads. But now, I've got the whole thing, in color, and we can knock it all out in a month. Progress.

As it turns out, Yasuho isn't that badly hurt, because this part of the ski lift isn't that far off the ground. So that's kind of a cheap trick to play on the reader.

But Rai's gambit does pay off, as the enemy comes up to get Yasuho, and Josuke continues to help her. He uses Soft and Wet bubbles to carry her through the air, which is pretty neat...

And he directs Yasuho to the next pole, which has the bathroom in it. Yasuho accesses the electronics with Paisley Park, and somehow she can turn on Rai's shower, which washes off the Stand bugs before they can attack her. I guess?

See, this is what annoys me about this arc. The Enemy Stand here is introduced as this utterly lethal, inescapable thing. We see it kill rats and cops almost instaneously, and Rai barely has time to cut off his own hand before it kills him. But when it gets on Yasuho, she can just run over to the nearest water supply and wash it off without experiencing any of the damage.

The bad guy is underground most of the time, and he's also wrapped inside another creature, so this image here is probably the best way to get a decent look at what Josuke's up against. This is "Ryo Shimosato", although that's just the human name this guy took when he assumed the real Ryo's identity. He's another Rock Human, and in addition to his bullshit "flesh-eating bacteria" Stand, Urban Guerrilla," he also has a "Rock Animal", which can burrow through the earth with him inside of it.

Rai's plan is to use the fuel tanks he keeps in one of the poles to try to light the enemy on fire. That's a big lift, considering the enemy is almost always underground. Also, Josuke seems more worried about Yasuho than anything else, and Rai wants him to focus on protecting him above all else.

But Josuke can't forsake Yasuho, and he jumps out of the car to link up with her. Ironically, this seems to impress Rai, even though it's the exact opposite of what he told him to do. I guess he figures Josuke must be pretty reliable if he's this committed to his other allies. And he must be pretty confident if he's this willing to ignore Rai's strategic advice.

Oh, yeah, get a look at Rai's left hand up there. He cut it off earlier, but now he's got most of it back. I think he's just missing his four fingers now. But he definitely cut the whole thing off before. It was all getting eaten by Urban Guerilla, so he had no other choice. So did he just regenerate it?

Okay, so let's talk about Doremifasolati Do. This is a Rock Animal, as opposed to the Rock Humans we've been dealing with. In addition to looking incredibly stupid, it also has an incredibly stupid name. Oh, and it has "low intelligence", so it's literally stupid as well.

Its whole body looks like a tank tread, which allows it to burrow underground with blinding speed. And it's a "marsupial", so that's why it has a pouch that Ryo can ride around inside. This thing is dumb as fuck, why does it have eyes if it spends all of its time underground. What really takes the cake is how Araki himself wrote this text piece about the creature, and even he couldn't be bothered to decide what the thing eats. "Uh, nobody knows. Maybe it eats bugs or dirt or something." My guy, you're the one who brought it up!

I think the idea with this combo is that Urban Guerilla is kind of difficult to deploy, so Ryo needs the Rock Animal for defense and transportation. He sneaks up from underground, then comes out just long enough to spew his nasty bugs, and retreats back inside the pouch before anyone can strike back.

Except Urban Guerilla doesn't work consistently. Look, Rai's got it eating holes in his face right now and yet he'll survive the rest of this story. His face won't even have any blemishes after this.

Ryo has this whole manifesto about how the New Rocacaca will elevate the Rock Humans to surpremacy over the carbon-based humans. I'm pretty sure the idea is that he and his colleagues will market the fruit as a wonder drug and make billions of dollars selling it to human patients, while they use it on themselves to make themselves immortal. So they'll not only live forever, but they'll dominate the global economy. We regular humans will be reduced to a second-class species and probably not even realize it.

Anyway, not only does Urban Guerilla fail to kill or incapacitate Rai, it apparently doesn't hurt him either, as he manages to use his own powers to turn his arm into a crude crossbow. Then he fires a fork at Ryo's head and scores a direct hit on the first try. This seems pretty unlikely at best, but mostly I just want to point out how utterly fucking stupid Urban Guerilla is. It went from being an instakill power to barely doing anything. Also, Ryo himself is a big dope, because his whole strategy was to stay in the damn Rock Animal, but he jumped out anyway just to gloat.

Josuke tries to use Soft and Wet on the Rock Animal, but his soap bubbles can't do anything because the treads just move the bubbles behind it so quickly that the bubbles never have time to do anything. Dude, why don't you just remove the friction from the soil like you did with Ojiro Sasame's apartment floor? The treads can't dig if he can't get purchase in the soil.

So Josuke finally goes for broke, coming straight at Doremi, even though Ryo's back inside and spraying his nasty bugs everywhere. So now Josuke's being eaten alive by the flesh-eating Stand, but it doesn't bother him either. He also doesn't seem to mind getting pulled underground by Doremi's treads. Instead, he just sort of hangs out down there, listening to Ryo rant about how he knew about Tamaki Damo's fruit smuggling ring, but Damo lacked vision because all he did was play drug dealer. Ryo and his group have bigger plans for the fruit, and Josuke asks him if he's a doctor. Ryo's like "How did you know I'm a doctor?" because that's how incredibly dumb this guy is.

Anwyay, this was all a big distraction so Rai could get to the fuel tanks, and use his own body like a wick to move the fuel down to where the bad guys are. Ryo tries to retreat, but Josuke's soap bubbles carry the burning fuel to him... even though we just established Soft and Wet's bubbles get shoved away before they can have a chance to do anything.

Ryo and his pet die in a tremendous inferno, but Rai doesn't get burned, even though he was completely soaked with fuel when he lit the match.

I guess now that the Stand User is dead, the effects have worn off, but Rai still has little scratches where there used to be gaping holes in his face. Yasuho and Josuke have no damage from Urban Guerilla at all. I hate this arc, because everyone's powers just work or don't work depending on what's convenient to the plot. When I say "powers", I'm also including things like "falling off a lift onto bare ground" and "burning diesel fuel". Those are things that should have consequences in the story, but they just don't.

Anyway, now that the danger has passed, Rai takes a moment to observe Josuke's soap bubbles and he notices that it's not a bubble at all, but more like a length of string that vibrates at super-speed, so it just looks like a bubble. He's got more important things to deal with right now, but this will become very important later on.

You might be wondering why Josuke risked life and limb to come to Rai, when it might have been simpler to have Rai come to the orchard, but here's the reason. Rai has special moth larvae in one of the poles, which he breeds because their poop is good for branch health. This is how he plans to keep the branch alive and healthy through the winter, so they were always going to have to come here no matter what. It's a little goofy how he 's got Iron Man type stuff built into these support poles, though. The kitchen was cute and the bathroom just made sense, but who built this for him? And how did he keep it a secret from the public? He told Josuke and Yasuho that he only lives here in the summer, and in the winter he moves to a villa somewhere else. Who takes care of his moths while he's gone? Who changes the little light bulbs in that chamber? What happens if some errant skier accidentally opens these panels while they're using the lift?

Meanwhile, Jobin has a meeting with the mysterious "Poor Tom". He's another Rock Human and an associate of Ryo Shimosato, and since he just lost contact with the guy, he's pretty sure Ryo's dead, which means Josuke and Rai are going back to the orchard to find the plant.

So Poor Tom's plan is to completely lock down the orchard. His Stand, Ozone Baby, will do just that, and prevent anyone from getting near the branch. He just needs Jobin to take the stand, which looks like a Lego model of the White House, and bury it in the orchard. He'd do it himself, but Jobin would be less conspicuous.

If I understand correctly, Jobin has never even heard of Poor Tom before, or any of the others in his group. He goes to this meeting thinking it's about Tamaki Damo's smuggling ring, because Jobin laundered their profits through the Higashikata Fruit Parlor. But Poor Tom isn't really connected to Damo's group. I mean, they knew each other, I guess? Or maybe Tom only knows about Jobin because he's the one Dolomite was talking to when he told Josuke about Jobin being involved.

The point is that while Jobin is accustomed to working with Rock Humans, this is a whole other ballgame he's gotten into now...

The funniest thing about All-star-battle has to be gappy's story mode where all the previous joestar's just show up and are like

"All right new guy run the hands."

And poor Jo2uke is just confused out of his mind

Jojo bizarre adventure

Thank you for sending an ask!! You’re the only person who actually interacts with me thank you so much haha. This was really hard to choose, too. I love a lot of characters from this series.

Blorbo: Jolyne... nuff said because I could talk about her forever. Also please date me.

Scrunkly: Jo2uke/Gappy. He is just... SO cute, and it's not even just because I think gap teeth are attractive. The little faces he makes, his quirky mannerisms, his dumb little sailor hat- he gives me the most classic case of cuteness aggression in that I would like to tie him to a bed and expose him to 35 sieverts of ionizing radiation. He's definitely the cutest JoJo thus far, at least manneristically speaking.

Scrimblo Bimblo: Foo Fighters! It's probably telling that I relate more to a literal colony of plankton than to anyone else in this show, but! Foo Fighters could literally do anything and I'd be clapping and cheering. They fill me with such love, joy and happiness. :,^)

Glup Shitto: Magenta Magenta, probably. Thinking about how much this man doesn't bathe has probably rotted my brain cells, but even I am not immune to how funny he is.

Poor Little Meow Meow: Jotaro. It's probably obvious by now, but I am the biggest Jotaro apologist on the planet. I could talk about this character for hours because I just... I think about him a lot. idk lol

Horse Plinko: I think... Diego Brando. He's just such a pompous little prick. Also, he's British.

Eeby Deeby: Pucci. His sins are eternal and he needs to go to horny jail. I'll never forgive him for the entirety of Stone Ocean.

How would all the Jojo's+ Dio react when their S/O slaps their butt ?

This took me so long to finish this it’s unreal. I’m sorry that these past couple days have been slow on here I’ve had some work to catch up on but hopefully I’ll be able to pick up again! I’m 99% sure I butchered Johnnys and Gappys in this but I didn’t want to leave them out so I hope I din’t get them too OOC ^-^

Enjoy guys!

- Ghost

Jonathan

·        Jonathan would have just finished hamon trainingwith Zeppeli when they decided to take a  short break before resuming

·        He’d be enjoying a cool glass of water that hisS/O offered him with an almost welcoming smile when it suddenly happened

·        The resounding smack which was heard was onlydrowned out by the sudden squeak of “Oh my-!” as the glass slipped out of hisgrasp

·        Fortunately, it didn’t break upon making contactwith the ground, but even so his face is burning crimson as he spun around tofind his S/O giggling into their hand with a poorly concealed grin

·        The gentle giant is going to be at a loss forwords, stuttering out a “W-wha-I,ah-why-I-I-“in a poor attempt to question what had made them do that (so sharply too)

·        When their only excuse is “I couldn’t help myself!” it only makes his embarrassment worse, tothe point where his face retains a rosy hue for the rest of the day

Joseph

·        With Joseph being Joseph there are many situationsin which an ass slap can be warranted, but the first time it occurred with S/Owould be a day where he’s slacking off and sleeping in

·        S/O can try everything in their power to get himto even budge but regardless the most reaction they get is the hamon userstubbornly turning over and burying his face into his pillow

·        They would have almost given had it not been forthe fact that his bed sheets just so ‘happened’ to shift to the side, exposingtheir target

·        The moment that there’s impact he releases astrangled cry and topples out of bed in shock, tangling himself up in thesheets in the process

·        “O-Oi whatwas that for?!” “You wouldn’t get up”“THATDOESN’T MEAN YOU HAD TO SLAP ME THERE!!!”

·        He’ll struggle to free himself, angrily yellingas S/O bolts out of the room and he’s hot on their heels “Come back here! You’re not getting away with that-HEY!!!”

Jotaro

·        It would be just another day at the Kujoresidence, the grumpy teen hanging out with Kakyoin and S/O after a long day ofschool and simply spending time together

·        They’d be talking about the odd events thathappened on their travels to Egypt – the things that they didn’t have time toenjoy or joke about given the circumstances at the time – when his S/O wouldlean over to Kakyoin and whisper something to him

·        Jotaro’s going to be confused as a near cheeksplitting grin breaks out on the cherry lover’s face and he nods at S/O, butregardless he doesn’t have a good feeling about it

·        He’d stand up, ready to leave the room to grabsomething and when he turns to step through the door S/O darts forward and bringsdown a hand to hit his behind

·        He automatically freezes up, fists clenching ashis eyes widen and surprise settles in – he thought they were going to simplypull a prank or something when he got back not slap his ass

·        From the sheer unexpectedness of the move hisemotionless persona will slip away to reveal utter shock, and that alone causesboth Kakyoin and S/O to burst into laughter at the sight; that is until StarPlatinum pops up behind them to return the favour (R.I.P S/O’s butt 2K17)

Josuke

·        As we all know, Josuke butt is fine so this was going to happen sooneror later – but he never expected them to do it in public

·        He would be spending a day out with Okuyasu,Koichi and S/O when they’d take notice of a group of girls across the street oglingat the pomp prince; all while Josuke remained completely unaware

·        It appeared as though they didn’t know he wastaken…time to change that

·        He pays no attention as S/O shuffles over tohim, blissfully unaware until he feels their hand clap onto his ass creating anembarrassingly loud impact noise that leaves all of their group red in the face

·        S/O though is completely uncaring as they leanup to plant a kiss to his cheek with a “Hey babe~”, watching as the girls whowere looking scurry off somewhere else with a satisfied grin

·        Meanwhile Josuke is horrified by what’s just happened, looking to his friends for helponly to find Koichi is just staring between him and S/O with a flustered expression  and Oku is on the verge of bursting intolaughter as he cracks out “Pfft-Dude,your S/O is awesome!”

Giorno

·        With this particular Gang star S/O’s going tohave to really think about this one; is it worth it?

·        YES, is what they decide as they watch theblonde beaut sort through one of the book shelves in his office one day – the sightteasing them a little too much to hold back

·        However, the second their hand makes contactwith the Italian man’s rear they realise that although it was very much worthit to see Giorno’s face abruptly shift from its usual smile to an open mouthedgasp, it’s not going to end well for them

·        Curious and slightly concerned about the causeof the noise, the rest of Passione are going to peek their heads through thedoorway (except for Abbacchio who just grumbles ‘not this again’ as he walksright past with a mug of coffee in hand – or alcohol, this Goth boy’s beenthrough enough crap to deserve one drink atleast)

·        Once they realise what’s happened Narancia andMista are the first to drop to the floor, laughing until they’re wheezingwhilst Fugo face palms and grins and Buccellati asks if everything isokay

·        Giorno will assure them that everything is justfine and that they can go back to their duties, however the look in his eyes isdark, promising something far beyond petty revenge and it is then that S/Orealises – they messed up

Jolyne

·        Jolyne isn’t one to be surprised by many thingsanymore (a trait she may have gotten from Jotaro) and this has only beenhardened into her nature by the events of Stone Ocean

·        So when she spots S/O lurking around from thecorner of her eye while reading she’s already prepared for whatever they haveup their sleeve

·        At least she thinks she is until she feels a suddenstrike hit her right on her butt and then a surprised yelp is what will giftS/O’s blessed ears as she jumps a little in her seat

·        She’ll watch as they give her a warm smile as ifnothing happened and wish her a good morning, before wandering away with alittle swing in their step

·        They won’t get far however, before they’re beingyanked back by Stone Free’s string and into her awaiting grip, not saying aword but there’s no need for her too – her eyes are telling S/O how muchtrouble they’re in just fine

·        Jolyne’s silence is broken when they yell toHermes “Hermes! If I don’t make it givethe money to F.F!” “Geez, can’t Ikeep it?” “YOU TWO MADE A BET ON ME?!”

Johnny

·        He, Gyro and S/O would have settled down for thenight in wait for sunrise, the three of them passing back casual conversation

·        Gyro’s going to be making some terrible puns,each one making Johnny cringe and S/O snicker more and more as they try to restup as much as possible on the harsh terrain

Jjba spoilers

damn I just realized...off the top of my head every jojo was raised by single parents (even in Jolyne and Jotaro's cases where both parents were alive, they had absent fathers-part of why I get emotional in particular about their relationship) I forget what johnny's situation is beyond his father but I remember it was bad. Don.'the get me started on poor GioGio. Jo2uke's a special case lol

[plagueofsquid]

So a while ago I made a long post breaking down the JJBA section of AO3 by characters and ships. I’d like to talk about what I see in that data, and there’s a lot to say here.

First off, the data mostly confirmed my hypothesis. The JJBA fandom has certain pairings that are almost treated as canon. For most of the Jojos, there is an ‘official’ pairing. These are JonaDio, CaeJose, JotaKak, GioMis, and GyJo. Notice the lack of Josuke and Jolyne.

For Jolyne, it’s a lack of data. Stone Ocean doesn’t get a lot of love in general and fanfiction heavily favors M/M pairings across virtually all fandoms. Jolyne is also the least often shipped Jojo. My guess is JolMes would be the ‘official’ one, but I don’t have the numbers to back that up.

Josuke is a different case entirely. He actually bucks the trend by having a pretty even split between JosuHan and JosuYasu. The data in the post shows a slight lead for JosuYasu, but I believe this to be an anomaly, as observation since normally shows a difference of less than twenty between the two. I’ve seen multiple sites claim JosuYasu is popular in the West and JosuHan is popular in the East, but at least on AO3 they’re very closely tied.

The popularity of incest pairings is interesting. I’m not here to make a judgement call about them, just observing. The only Jojos who lack incest pairings in top ten breakdowns are Joseph and Johnny. At first that looks like an unusual variance, but I think it’s just because neither of them have living family members around their age.

Threesome pairings are also unique to Joseph and Johnny. With Joseph it’s best friend, canon wife, or both. With Johnny it’s best friend, rival, or both. The interesting part is the lack of Jonathan/Dio/Erina, which would seem like a logical continuation of these concepts, or Josuke/Okuyasu/Rohan, which is also best friend and rival.

I noted in the last section that less than one percent contain both JosuHan and JosuYasu. These two pairings are treated as very incompatible and represents a division in the fandom. I’ve certainly seen people expressing strong opinions on JosuHan, both positive and negative.

The least shipped Jojos by far are Jolyne and Giorno. My theory is it’s a result of the popularity of mudad and little Jolyne fics, where the characters are obviously not shipped with anyone.

I find the high rate of shipping when it comes to Jonathan interesting. My guess is there are two kinds of Jonathan fics: Jonathan and Dio fucking, and Jonathan as Team Dad. When Jonathan is Team Dad, he’s normally portrayed as married, either to Erina or Dio, and the focus is on other characters.

Johnny is the most shipped Jojo and has by far the most distinct ‘official’ pairing. GyJo is close to 70% of Johnny fics. I think this is because SBR is very much a two-man show, so it’s very easy to ship.

Jotaro is weird. The sheer volume of fics he appears in means he gets shipped with everyone, including his own Stand. The popularity of JotaKak causes Kakyoin to show up in character rankings all over the data. I cannot overstate how much JotaKak there is. There’s so much JotaKak.

The data is heavily skewed towards parts 1-4, definitely a result of the anime adaptations. It will be interesting to see if those numbers level out as we get part 5 and beyond.

Poor Gappy. I could only find 20 fics for him. I think he’s tagged inconsistently. He can be Jousuke, Jo2uke, Josuke 8, Josuke (JJL), or Gappy. As such, I barely bring him up. There’s just not enough data.

Finally, let’s talk about Reader fics. These only show up for Jotaro, Josuke, and Dio, but lots are tagged Reader/various or Reader/multiple and that didn’t show in the data. Personally, I don’t consider these true shipping fics, but they’re too prevalent to not include.

JoJolion Ch. 71-76

This is the "Ozone Baby's Pressure" arc, but there's also a flashback to Yasuho's childhood hair clip. What dark secret could it possibly hold?

If you guessed "It's another Rock Animal," then congratulations, I guess.

To be fair, Rock Animals are still a new-ish concept, since we've been dealing with Rock Humans all this time, until Ryo Shimosato brought a Rock Animal to the last arc. Now that they've both been defeated, Yasuho realizes that she's encountered a similar creature before, and she tells Rai Mamezuku about this hair clip she bought when she was 13. She thought it would make her look cute for when her dad came to see her. Her parents were divorced, you see, so she takes these weekend visits very seriously.

Unfortunately, the clip was actually a weird parasite that somehow made her see all these terrible misfortunes. First she thinks all her friends hate her for forgetting a classmate's birthday, then she starts having terrible dandruff and flaky skin, then she thinks she's lost her hair clip when it seems to have been hidden in her hair the whole time. Then she sees her father, who tells her he won't be visiting her anymore because he wants to spend that time with his new girlfriend.

I'm not clear on how much of these things were truly real. Her "father" is clearly shown to be an illusion or dream produced by the creature. The dandruff and flaky skin might have been genuine, since Yasuho went to the pharmacy to get salves for it, and they seemed to have an effect, but I don't know. The same with her getting hate messages from her classmates. The Rock Animal couldn't have been responsible for that, but I don't know for sure that it could make her see that sort of thing. My guess is that it just triggers anxieties in Yasuho's brain, and her mind fills in the details from her own doubts and insecurities. I assume that whatever was going on here, the Rock Animal was feeding on this in some way.

Yasuho became so despondent that she attempted suicide, but she was saved by none other than Dr. Holly Kira.

Then Holly says some cryptic stuff about Yasuho needing to keep an eye out for what's important in her life. If she only looks inward, she may not be able to see it. What could this possibly mean?

Well, as soon as she leaves, her son Yoshikage steps in to apologize for anything weird she might have said earlier. According to him, this is Holly's last day practicing medicine, and it's pretty clear that her mind is beginning to experience the symptoms of her disease. Kira also apologizes for stepping on Yasuho's hair clip. I'm guessing this is a pure coincidence, since Kira doesn't know about Rock Humans or Rock Animals either, but he inadvertently saved Yasuho from the source of her troubles.

The point of all of this is that Yasuho had forgotten Holly and Yoshikage before all this JoJolion stuff started, but she now realizes why she pulled Josuke up from the hole he was in. She hesitated at first, worrying more about the dangers of touching a nude stranger, but she remembered Holly's words. "I grabbed onto his wrists, but the one who was pulled up was me." Yasuho declares that her motives are the same as Josuke's and so she's as much a part of this case as the rest of them.

This convinces Rai that she's not a liability to their cause. Yasuho knows what's at stake, and she understands the priorities here. She had already earned his respect for helping Josuke figure out how to defeat Ryo, but now he's convinced that she won't be in the way.

Meanwhile... whatever this bullshit is. The Higashikata Family sucks. The biggest gripe I have with JoJolion is how the story keeps trying to play this family off as basically good and worth saving, but then we see them doing vapid shit like talking about whether fish sausages are getting smaller. Jobin is actively a villain in this thing, Joshuu and Daiya are creeps, and Hato is barely even in the story at all. If they all died at the end, it wouldn't bother me at all. Josuke could attend their funeral and then go off to start a new life with Yasuho.

By now, Jobin has buried Poor Tom's Stand, Ozone Baby, in the family orchard. Poor Tom is a Rock Human who contacted Jobin and proposed this plan to keep Josuke and his father from getting the Rocacaca Fruit. But why? Well, we get this flashback to when Jobin and Norisuke went to a baseball game together, and Jobin can't enjoy it because he wanted better seats. He thinks the stadium should have arranged this for him, just like that restaurant they went to the other day. Norisuke doesn't get it, since all you have to do is make reservations ahead of time. Jobin thinks that's bullshit. Their fruit parlor is a big friggin' deal--at least the way he sees it-- and their contributions to society ought to be acknowledged with special treatment.

So I think it's pretty clear that Jobin is an self-entitled sonovabitch. He already gets to eat at fancy restaurants and take in ball games, but that's not good enough for him. He wants to do those things whenever he wants. Like, just walk up to the stadium and get a great seat automatically. Or just have a table at the restaurant always on standby for when he shows up. And if he can't get those things, then that must mean the fruit parlor has lost its power and influence in the community.

Jobin has ideas to "restore" the fruit parlor's standing, but these involve importing other products that have nothing to do with the core business, like dressings, oils, and less-expensive processed fruit. Norisuke flatly refuses, since the whole point of their business is to sell premium fruit, the kind that people give as gifts. If you dilute your wares with cheaper or unrelated products, then it weakens the brand. Put simply: "A fruit shop doesn't need to be powerful." Jobin's ideas are only to boost his own ego, not their business.

Norisuke leaves Jobin to stew in his own bitterness. Did he just leave the game, or is he only getting up to take a whiz? This is how much I despise baseball: When I went to games, the piss breaks were something to look forward to, because I could get up and do something anything else. Baseball stadiums are boring, wretched places where fun goes to die, and the fact that Jobin turned to the dark side because he can't attend baseball games harder is probably the thing I hate about him the most.

Like... does he even care about the games anymore? He seems way more annoyed about not having a better seat. Maybe the problem here is that Jobin's in his mid 20's or so in this flashback, and he's lost interest in baseball, but he can't quite bring himself to admit it. This is where nostalgia-fueled bitterness stems from. The game didn't change, you changed. The novelty and wonder of it is lost to time, and rather than recognize that, you try to find some way to get back that old feeling you had as a child. "Well, I'd enjoy this more if I only had better seats". That kind of thing.

Jobin's frustration here is embodied by his like "How is that fun? That's no Summer Vacation!" And I'm like... what does summer vacation have to do with not having to pre-order ballgame tickets? Jobin's like a big dumb kid, that's his whole motivation, so he's always trying to have as much fun and be as carefree as possible. The whole point of summer vacation is that you don't have to go to school, and you have the whole day to do whatever you want. Maybe Jobin's problem is that he's had that luxury for so long that he no longer knows how to enjoy it. Or maybe he's just gotten old enough that the charm of "summer vacation" no longer exists. I mean, I'm 47 and I sure don't give a shit. I'm taking a day off from work as I write this and it's great, but it's not some funderful experience like it would be for a little boy. I think Jobin wants more than a day off, he wants to recapture the way a day off must have felt when he was a kid. And it doesn't really work that way.

Anyway, this was the day he first met Yotsuyu Yagiyama, and presumably this was how Jobin got involved with the Rock Humans' Rocacaca smuggling business. He saw this as a way to improve the standing of the Higashikata family, although it's still not clear just how he expected this to work.

In the present-day, Rai and Josuke are on the Higashikata property, where Rai points out the branch to Josuke and applies some moth larvae that will improve the branch's health. They'll wait a few days to harvest the fruit, I guess, and that'll be that. Yasuho isn't with them, but that's just because she's gone home to investigate the Rock Animal that used to be her hair clip. Rai tells Josuke that she kept the pieces after Kira stepped on it, and she thinks analyzing the remains will give her some insight into how silicon-based organisms work.

I don't think this ever gets paid off later in the story. I'm pretty sure we don't see Yasuho show up with a computer printout and she breathlessly tells Josuke that the Rock Humans are vulnerable to Dijon mustard. Part of the problem here is that the characters kind of already know everything they need to know from the last seven Rock Humans they've defeated. Their main power lies in their Stand abilities, and fighting Rock Human with a Stand really isn't any different from fighting any other Stand Battle. Poison, fire, drowning, getting hit by a bus... all of these things will kill a Rock Human or a Rock Animal, so what more needs to be established?

I could see Yasuho wanting to confirm that the hair clip really was a Rock Animal, since all she has right now are suspicions, but it's been dead for six years. What difference would it make now?

So I think this was just a way to write Yasuho out of this next leg of the story. Before, she would get pushed aside by circumstance, or because other characters didn't want her involved, but now she's fully committed to seeing this through, so the only way to keep her away from whatever Josuke is doing is to have her pursue a different lead. That's a good thing, but this lead is pretty much a dead end.

I think the idea here is that no one saw Josuke and Rai on the orchard because Jobin was burying Ozone Baby in the orchard at the same time, and he had turned off the security cameras as a precaution. If he'd just refused Poor Tom's proposal, he might have been able to find the branch when the cameras caught Josuke and Rai fooling around with it.

As it is, Tsurugi saw Jobin anyway, and he wasn't even trying to spy on him or anything. He just wants to know if his dad did anything bad, since he knows Jobin was once in league with Yotsuyu Yagiyami.

Jobin tries to justify his actions as being for the good of the family, but he doesn't really explain what he's done, probably because he doesn't really know himself. I mean, the Rock Human smugglers probably made him a nice offer, but he had no idea what the consequences of that would be, and they've already tried to attack the family twice. As for Ozone Baby, Poor Tom assured Jobin that its ability would keep everyone away from the orchard, but Jobin didn't know how it would do this, or what its effective range would be.

Turns out, Ozone Baby affects the atmospheric pressure within a 100 meter radius. If you're indoors, the pressure gradually increases until it becomes deadly. Outdoors, the pressure is decreased, so if you go outside, you experience decompression, which will kill you that way.

This is kind of a bullshit ability, but not anywhere near as bullshit as Urban Guerilla, which only instakills people when it's convenient to the plot. Ozone Baby's problem is kind of a baseline issue with JoJo, where characters will experience some effect like fire or cold temperatures or rapid aging, and the effects are depicted as drastic and intense, but the characters will still be able to cope with it like it's some gradual problem, and they have time to endure it while they seek out a solution.

I mean, it makes sense that the pressure changes would hurt the characters, and you can just take it for granted that the pressure change is just enough to be dangerous without being immediately lethal. But Jobin's bleeding from his eyes, so things look much, much worse.

Jobin uses Speed King to heat bleach, which produces oxygen bubbles for Tsurugi to breathe. I don't understand why that's helpful, since Tsurugi experienced rapid decompression when the door was open. Also, the pressure inside the garage is increasing, so he's got that much more oxygen to breathe.

I'm nitpicking, but what makes this arc much better than the Urban Guerilla fight is that the Stand abilities are secondary to the story of Jobin's folly. In his desire to keep Josuke away from the branch, he teamed up with the Rock Humans one more time, and once again his family is put in deadly danger. Poor Tom's Stand will keep everyone out of the orchard, but it'll also kill everyone who's already there, including everyone in the Higashikata house. Tom's plan is to wipe out everyone in one stroke, so that way he can search for the branch at his leisure.

At this point, Tsurugi is genuinely trying to understand whose side his dad is on. Jobin assures him that all he wants to do is to get the Rocacaca and cure Tsurugi. If that was his true objective, though, then why wouldn't he just cut a deal with Josuke? Oh, wait, I just realized, that'd be like pre-ordering tickets to a ballgame. Jobin doesn't want to share the Rocacaca fruit with Josuke or anyone else.

Anyway, he convinces his son to team up with him, but they can't leave the garage, and Poor Tom must be miles away waiting for his Stand to finish them all off. So Jobin resolves to defeat Poor Tom without leaving the garage. He does this by combing his heat powers with Tsurugi's origami powers, and they set the orchard on fire. Then he calls Poor Tom to tell him, so he'll have to come to the orchard to save the branch.

This probably says a lot about Jobin's character, where he keeps digging himself into a hole and his only solution is to dig deeper. For all of his high talk about doing whatever it takes for the Higashikata Family's prestige, his big plan is to burn down their property. And just like Poor Tom's Stand, the fire isn't going to magically spare the house.

So where are Josuke and Rai in all of this. Well they were inside the bunker near the mansion when Ozone Baby's power kicked in, and when the fire starts, Josuke decides his only choice is to go retrieve the branch before it burns. That might give away its location to the enemy, but it's the only way to save it. He can't leave the bunker, though, because the pressure differential, but he reasons that if he surrounds himself with a Soft and Wet soap bubble, that will maintain his "indoor" pressure while he steps outside. Rai agrees with his logic, but insists on being the one to secure the branch, since he's better qualified to protect it from further harm.

But along the way, he spots Poor Tom, who's just arrived to dig up his Stand so that the fire department can put out the fire before the branch burns up. Rai siezes him and the branch, but...

Tom reveals that he can control his Stand more directly now that he's dug it up and holding it. That means he can increase the pressure inside Rai's bubble, and kill him before Rai can break his neck. See, this is what I'm talking about. Rai is literally being crushed to death by the pressure, but he's still alive and conscious.

But Josuke counters by launching bubbles containing yew berries. These are extremely toxic, and Josuke knows this because apparently Rai was telling him about this earlier. Apparently the orchard has yew trees, and Rai is relieved to find that Kira and Kujo didn't graft the Rocaca branch onto one of those trees, since it would lead to the fruit becoming toxic as well.

Why do the Higashikatas have poisonous fruits on their orchard? Well, Rai pointed out that their leaves and branches are used in Shinto rituals, so maybe it has something to do with this. Remember, Norisuke's business model is about selling fruit as gifts, not necessarily as food.

Anyway, once the bubbles are close enough, Josuke lets them pop, and the explosive decompression sprays the toxic contents into Tom's mouth.

But Poor Tom manages to defeat Rai before he can succumb to the poison. He does this by using the sheath of a knife, which he closes around Rai's cords, and that makes them "inside", which allows Ozone Baby to apply even more pressure. I guess it kind of makes sense that Rai could survive this, since his powers allow him to turn his whole body into wires, which is sort of like Jolyne Kujo's power to turn into string. I mean, how do you crush a rope?

Tom grabs the branch, but he still has to get away from Josuke (and the fire), so he can get medical attention for the yew juice he swallowed. Josuke launches this series of bubbles, one inside the other like a nesting doll, and that worries Tom because it must be some cool new application of Soft and Wet's powers.

Ultimately, Tom gets desperate enough to cancel his Stand's effects. I think the idea here was that Josuke's multiple layers of bubbles would allow it to get closer to Tom and still withstand the pressure changes, so Tom canceled Ozone Baby to keep the bubble away. But it turns out it was just a bluff. Josuke continues to advance toward him, and Tom tries to make a break for the nearest ambulance, which has arrived along with the fire trucks.

Tom believes that his allies are aboard the ambulance, because they know about his ability and they wisely kept he windows closed when they pulled in. That seems kind of specious, since most people would keep the windows closed while driving. I mean, for the air conditioning, if nothing else.

It doesn't really matter, because he gets shot before he can make it.

Well, at least I think he got shot. The thing is, it looks like someone would have had to shoot him from inside the orchard, and that seems unlikely. This might be another Stand that hasn't been introduced yet, but we're getting close to the end, and there aren't many Stands left for that. We'll see.

Anyway, a pair of shadowy figures are inside the ambulance, and they were Tom's comrades, and they do grab the branch before they drive away, but it turns out it's not the right one. How the hell did Tom screw that up? And what happened to the real Locacaca branch?

Jobin and Tsurugi have it. Jobin's plan was to use the fire to draw Poor Tom out and cancel his Stand ability, but it also forced Josuke and Rai to reveal the branch's location. Soon after, Tsurugi used his Paper Moon King power to confuse them all so they wouldn't be able to tell the real branch from a phony.

As we see in this flashback, Tsurugi was able to send origami cranes into the orchard, where they managed to touch Josuke and Tom without their noticing. The Stand took effect and made them both mistake a common pear branch for the Locacaca branch.

Presumably, once Ozone Baby was disabled, Jobin could just stroll onto the grounds and claim his prize. Tom is dead, and while Josuke and Rai survived, neither of them know what became of the real Locacaca branch, which gives Jobin the inside track. All he has to do now is graft it to a cactus (?) and keep it hidden from everyone else until it's time to harvest. Jobin convinces Tsurugi that he can't tell anyone about this, not even Norisuke, whom Jobin considers too weak to succeed in this venture.

So... Jobin wins? If it seems unlikely, that's because it is. The remaining Rock Humans are frustrated, and Josuke is despondent over his failure, but it won't take them long to realize who tricked them. Jobin's plan, much like his other schemes and goals, are too short-sighted to pan out. For all he gripes about his father's weakness, Jobin's hubris will be his downfall. I mean, he thinks he can just grow this graft in a flower pot for two weeks, in his house, with no one else finding out about it? This stupid mansion has been infiltrated three times already. They still haven't exposed Kyo Nijimura, as far as I can tell. It's all just wishful thinking. Jobin wants to believe he's a big deal, but he just doesn't have what it takes.
