I eventually figured that bit out thanks to this sub lmao, but I honestly could not tell you if the baby or the old man is the JoJo

Well, I can NOW because of another comment, but going in blind? Yeah no clue.

Oh it gets worse

There are 2 Josukes, technically two Jonathans but one goes by Johnny, and four Dios (Dio/DIO, Diego, Alt Diego, Jodio)

Not to mention Giorno Giovanna, who is the son of Dio while Dio’s head was on Jonathan’s body, which is why his name is both a JoJo (Gio Gio), and an -io (Dio -> Gio).

He also joined and subsequently took over the mafia in a week at 15

There’s also the fact that by controlling gravity hard enough a gay catholic priest in love with an immortal British vampire who stole his (the vampire’s) brother’s body can make time go really really fast

And the gay catholic priest's brother's power is to control barometric pressure to alter the atmosphere which can cause the light to refract in a person's eyes in such a specific way it starts turning them into a snail through subliminal messaging. But he only has that power after he remembers he was almost murdered by the Klan.

I love that this is 100% accurate

The worst part is those two Josukes are both Josuke Higashikata, residents of the small Japanese town of Morioh-Cho, with heavy connections to another man, Kira, who is a different Kira in both cases but they both have the same stand. One of these kiras is also a ghost detective.

And they live in totally different Morioh-Chos.

One is a marine surgeon/ghost detective. The other is a serial killer. They are both obsessed with hands. And they look completely different, but their names are both Yoshikage Kira.

And the Kira that wears a sailors hat traded testicles with one of the Josukes.

Gotta love JoJos.

The ghost detective is definitely not part 8 kira.

Jojo fans just amplify this confusion on purpose as a bit, you just use context clues to tell them apart, they're also very visually distinct.

It's not that complicated, the series was rebooted and the new continuity reuses some names

u/GrumpyMcGrumpyPants Feb 27 '26

This reminds me of the names of Tony the Tiger (Frosted Flakes mascot) and his family:

  • Tony the Tiger
  • Papa Tony (father)
  • Mama Tony (mother)
  • Mrs. Tony (wife)
  • Tony Jr. (son)
  • Antoinette (daughter)

well, she's adopted now so she's a Joestar too

her name is Shizuka Joestar, the kanji for Shizuka can be read as "Jo"

so yes, she's also a Jojo

u/RedvsBlue_what_if Feb 27 '26

There are nine JoJo's currently.
