Plot[]
![]() | This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (August 2021) |
Set in the same continuity as Steel Ball Run, S-City, M-Prefecture (M県S市, Emu-ken, Esu-shi) was devastated by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. In the aftermath, strange structures known colloquially as the Wall Eyes (壁の目, Kabe no Me) appear all over the town of Morioh (杜王町, Moriō-chō), with the ground beneath them having the strange property of swapping traits of whatever two objects are buried there.
A local college student named Yasuho Hirose finds a mysterious youth buried under one of the Wall Eyes, and they set off on an adventure together to try to recover his identity. Yasuho conducts her investigation while leaving the youth under the care of her childhood friend's father Norisuke Higashikata IV, who names him "Josuke". As Yasuho finds Yoshikage's hospitalized mother Holy Joestar-Kira, who suffers from a form of dementia, Josuke finds Kira's sibling Kei Nijimura, who explains that he is a fusion of Kira and someone else.
When Josuke later confronts Norisuke over his reasons for taking him in, he learns that the Higashikata family needs Yoshikage's memories to end a family curse that is gradually petrifying them. The solution is explained to be a fruit called Locacaca, which cures a person of any ailment while taking a part of them in exchange. Jobin Higashikata, Norisuke's oldest son, has been using the family fruit parlor to smuggle Locacaca trees into the country in cooperation with a group of mysterious stone-based beings called Rock Humans.
Jobin and the Rock Humans begin targeting Josuke and Yasuho as the former learns of his other former identity, Josefumi Kujo. Prior to Josuke's discovery, Kira and Josefumi had stolen a branch growing a new type of Locacaca fruit, which uses another person as collateral for the exchange. After Kira was fatally injured by the Rock Humans, he and Josefumi grafted and used the new Locacaca in the Higashikatas' orchard; the two of them fell into the ground as the Tōhoku earthquake struck, being buried beneath the future Wall Eyes. Coping with the revelation that he is a fusion of Josefumi and Kira, Josuke resolves to retrieve the Locacaca fruit and cure Holy; Jobin learns of the fruit and plots to cure Tsurugi with it.
At Norisuke's behest, Josuke meets with a plant appraiser named Rai Mamezuku, whom he leads to the Higashikata orchard to identify the branch. Jobin's alliance with the Rock Humans falters when a Rock Human named Poor Tom attacks the orchard, forcing Jobin to set it ablaze to protect both his family and the branch. Poor Tom's allies arrive in an ambulance, but Poor Tom is killed by an unseen force as he approaches them. The two Rock Humans inside the ambulance seemingly take the new Locacaca branch, unaware that Tsurugi has misled them with his Stand; in reality, the branch is in Jobin's possession. By chance, Yasuho soon encounters and defeats one of the Rock Humans, Wu Tomoki, at the hospital. Wu reveals his hospital's involvement in Locacaca research before Josuke and Mamezuku arrive and finish him. Finding no clue as to the branch's whereabouts, the three plan to hunt down the hospital's head doctor.
The group encounters an intern at the hospital named Tooru, who is revealed to be Yasuho's ex-boyfriend. Tooru points the group in the direction of the head doctor, Satoru Akefu; while attempting to pursue him, the group is attacked by Akefu's powerful calamity-based Stand, Wonder of U, and are forced to retreat after a bystander is killed. While hiding from the police, Josuke and Mamezuku are again attacked by Wonder of U, leading them to realize that the Stand is triggered by the intent to pursue. Mamezuku is arrested, but Josuke deliberately injures himself so that he can be taken to the hospital. Vowing once more to save his mother, Josuke decides to make the head doctor pursue him.
Akefu learns of Josuke's plot, the latter having realized that Holy was experimented upon. Mamezuku, having escaped from prison, realizes that Satoru Akefu is the Stand itself as the two simultaneously pursue Josuke. Mamezuku attacks Akefu, but is fatally wounded by the trap Josuke had set for him. As he dies, Mamezuku reveals the latent Spin within Josuke's ability. Meanwhile, Yasuho pursues her suspicion that the branch is with the Higashikatas, eventually revealing the branch to the family on accident. Norisuke confronts Jobin, who incapacitates him; Jobin himself is killed shortly afterward by the force of calamity. As Tooru arrives at the Higashikata estate, Yasuho realizes his true identity as the Stand user of Wonder of U.
Despite Tooru's warnings that contacting her allies will put her in calamity's line of fire, Yasuho calls Josuke and informs him of her findings. Though Akefu escapes Josuke's attack, Josuke and Yasuho combine their abilties with Josuke's Spin to attack Tooru with a transient bubble. A gravely-wounded Tooru eats one of the new Locacaca fruits and attempts to initiate an exchange, only to be pinned to the ground by Jobin's mother, Kaato Higashikata. Kaato forces Tooru to exchange with Tsurugi and receive his curse, killing both Tooru and herself and destroying the last of the new Locacaca branch in the process.
The story jumps back to 1941, as an elderly Lucy Steel arrives in Morioh to investigate the Locacaca fruit on behalf of the Speedwagon Foundation. At the train station, she meets a youth named Josefumi who is also visiting Morioh. The two drive to the Higashikata estate, but are attacked by a nearby guard rail; Lucy narrowly escapes after Josefumi attacks the rail with his Stand. As the two escape, Josefumi reveals himself to be Joseph Joestar ('Josefumi' is a Japanization of 'Joseph'), Johnny Joestar's grandson and Holy Joestar Kira's father.
As the Higashikata family mourns their loss, Yasuho sees a glimmer of hope in Tsurugi's eyes as ambulances arrive on the scene. Josuke reunites with Yasuho, and the two visit Holy in the hospital. Though Yasuho spots Josefumi Kujo's mother, Josuke decides not to go after her, as he has accepted being neither Josefumi nor Kira. The two meet with the Higashikata family once more at a cake shop, as the family tries to decide on a cake to celebrate Norisuke's release from the hospital. The family eventually decides to leave the decision up to Josuke; Yasuho takes her leave, satisfied that Josuke has found a loving family.
Characters[]
- Josuke Higashikata[a] is a young man with no memory of his past or name. He is temporarily named "Josuke" by Yasuho after her dog. He later learns that he was originally Josefumi Kujo,[b] a friend of the Kira Family whose body was fused with Yoshikage Kira's by the Wall Eyes and a new form of Locacaca fruit. He uses the Stand Soft & Wet,[c] which allows him to produce soap bubbles that upon contact with an object can absorb, or steal an aspect of the object that can be used for other purposes, such as a person's eyesight or the friction of the floor.
- Yasuho Hirose[d] is a young woman who discovers Josuke and helps him search for his true identity. She uses the Stand Paisley Park,[e] which has the ability to direct things around Yasuho and send objects through wireless connections.
- Norisuke Higashikata IV[f] is the patriarch of the Higashikata family and runs a local fruit parlor. He uses the Stand King Nothing,[g] which has the ability to track by scent while changing its physical appearance to resemble the target it is tracking.
- Hato Higashikata[h] is a fashion model and the eldest daughter of the Higashikata family. She uses the Stand Walking Heart,[i] which allows her to extend her shoes' heels into spikes to walk up walls and impale enemies.
- Joshu Higashikata[j] is a college student with an unrequited love for Yasuho. He uses the Stand Nut King Call,[k] which allows him to materialize nuts and bolts through objects or people's bodies; if the bolt is undone on a person, the limb it was attached to falls off.
- Daiya Higashikata[l] is a near-blind teenage girl who uses the Stand California King Bed,[m] which allows her to steal people's memories and store them within chess pieces if they break one of her rules.
- Jobin Higashikata[n] is the eldest son of the Higashikata family. He intends to obtain the Locacaca fruit and use it to cure his son Tsurugi, against his father's will in particular. He uses the Stand Speed King,[o] which allows him to manipulate the temperature of his targets and store heat in objects which can then be released as a trap.
- Mitsuba Higashikata[p] is Jobin's vain wife. She uses the Stand Awaking III Leaves,[q] which allows her to create vector arrows that will repel anything from the arrow's direction.
- Tsurugi Higashikata[r] is Jobin's son, an eleven-year-old boy who dresses as a girl to avoid the evil eye, in line with family tradition. Tsurugi fears his family's curse, allowing him to be manipulated by Yotsuyu after seeing him cure a petrified dog named Iwasuke.[s] Tsurugi uses the Stand Paper Moon King,[t] which lets him create origami that disrupts the perception of anyone who touches it, and additionally allows him to create origami from other objects besides paper and control any origami creatures he has made.
- Kaato Higashikata[u] is Norisuke's ex-wife and the mother of Hato, Joshu, Daiya and Jobin. Having once murdered a child to save Jobin from the family curse, she is released from Green Dolphin Street Jail after serving a fifteen-year sentence. She uses the Stand Space Trucking, which lets her store objects or people between playing cards.
- Kei Nijimura[v] is the Higashikata family's maid, and is later revealed to be Holy's daughter and Yoshikage Kira's sister. She uses the Stand Born This Way,[w] which appears when its target opens an item, such as a door or a notebook, and attacks by freezing everything around it.
- Rai Mamezuku[x] is a plant appraiser and fruit grower who works for Norisuke's fruit company. He uses the Stand Doggy Style,[y] which allows him to peel his flesh like an apple, turning it into a ribbon that he can manipulate.
- Holy Joestar Kira[z] is an ophthalmologist from T.H. Medical University Hospital and an associate professor at Morioh's T.G. University. She is hospitalized, as parts of her brain and other organs are missing. It is later revealed that she was experimented upon by the Rock Humans in order to create new forms of medicine from the Locacaca fruit. She is the great-grandson of Johnny Joestar.
- Yoshikage Kira[aa] is a doctor who is a descendant of Johnny Joestar through his mother Holy. He was friends with Josefumi Kujo, who attempted to help him save Holy's life by stealing a Locacaca branch to use its fruit. After Yoshikage was fatally wounded by the Rock Humans, a combination of the new Locacaca's effects and the emerging Wall Eyes caused his body to swap traits with Josefumi's, creating Josuke. Yoshikage's Stand is Killer Queen,[ab] which can produce exploding soap bubbles and summon multiple tank-like stands called Sheer Heart Attack.[ac]
- Rock Humans are a mysterious race of humanoid silicon-based lifeforms with the ability to turn into stone, having infiltrated Morioh under assumed aliases. The two groups active in Morioh have ties to both the Locacaca fruit and Jobin, and intend to silence anyone who learns of the former's existence. Josuke comes into conflict with these groups, which include the following members:
- Tooru[ad] is the main antagonist of JoJolion. He is a part-time hospital worker and Yasuho's ex-boyfriend from high school. He is later revealed to be the leader of the Rock Humans and the Locacaca smuggling organization, seeking to obtain the new Locacaca fruit at any cost. Tooru's Stand is Wonder of U[ae], which causes anyone who attempts to pursue him or his Stand to suffer freak accidents referred to as "calamities". The Stand itself assumes a human form as Satoru Akefu,[af], and thus poses as the head of T.G. University Hospital.
- The Locacaca Smuggling Organization is a mysterious, secret smuggling operation that serve as the first group of antagonists Josuke must face. Their goal is to secretly obtain and sell Locacaca fruits.
- Yotsuyu Yagiyama[ag] is the first Rock Human to be introduced. He tricks Tsurugi into helping him kill Josuke, while also plotting to steal the Higashikata fortune. Yotsuyu's assumed public identity is that of an architect of some regard, the man responsible for designing and building the Higashikata family's house. Yotsuyu's Stand is I Am a Rock,[ah] which turns his target into a gravity well that pulls certain objects towards them.
- Aisho Dainenjiyama[ai] is a nervous and paranoid Rock Human, having been betrayed by a former girlfriend. He attacks Yasuho and Tsurugi when he realizes they are following him, forcing the latter to trick him into getting run over by a bus. Dainenjiyama's Stand is Doobie Wah!,[aj] which allows Dainenjiyama to create small razor-sharp tornadoes that automatically track down their target using their breathing.
- The A. Phex Brothers[ak] are twin Rock Humans who pose as street performers. Having played a role in the attempt on Josefumi and Yoshikage's lives, they target Karera before coming across Josuke. The older brother's Stand, Schott Key No. 1,[al] allows him to transfer objects between his two hands; he uses it in combination with his younger brother's Stand, Schott Key No. 2,[am] a soccer ball containing a poisonous gas.
- Tamaki Damo[an] is a Rock Human and the leader of the Locacaca Smuggling Organization. He pretends to fall in love with Hato to infiltrate the Higashikata estate and track down his allies' killers, only to be mortally wounded by Hato and finished off by Josuke. Damo's Stand is Vitamin C,[ao] which allows him to render a living being's body malleable or completely liquefy them after they touch an object that has his fingerprints on it.
- The Locacaca Research Organization is a group working in the medical field. Their interest in the Locacaca fruit seems to stem from a desire to make Rock Humans the dominant species through medicinal breakthroughs.
- Urban Guerrilla[ap], formally known as Ryo Shimosato,[aq] is a gastroenterologist who is sent to kill Mamezuku before Josuke and Yasuho can meet him. He attacks the three of them alongside his pet Rock Animal Doremifasolati Do.[ar] Guerrilla's Stand is Brain Storm,[as] which can cause hemolysis and melt the flesh of anyone that comes in contact with his spores.
- Poor Tom[at] is a short, infant-like Rock Human with the face and personality of a grown man. He tells Jobin to bury his Stand in his family orchard to prevent Mamezuku from finding the branch, only to betray him and his son Tsurugi once he does. His Stand, Ozon Baby,[au] can depressurize an area upon activation, inflicting depressurization sickness in seconds. Ozon Baby can also create illusions of itself, and getting close to these illusions will cause the body to cave in on itself from the intense pressure.
- Wu Tomoki[av] is a Rock Human who poses as an orthopedic surgeon and Mitsuba's doctor. He is first seen by Yasuho examining Mitsuba's right ear, only to treat her again for the legs she lost in the following Locacaca-based procedure. He reveals Holy's research into the Locacaca fruit, but is killed when Josuke seals his fragmented head in medical cement. He uses the Stand Doctor Wu,[aw], which allows him to disintegrate into small independent stone fragments in order to manipulate and possess living beings.
- Dolomite,[ax] formally known as Masaji Dorokoma,[ay] is the only Rock Person not affiliated with either of the groups above. He was once a carefree, handsome man until he saved his blind girlfriend from entering a power plant, burning his body and destroying his arms and legs in the process. Jobin contacts him and asks him to take out Josuke after Damo's death. Dolomite uses the Stand Blue Hawaii,[az] which can possess anyone who touches something that belongs to the user, including its previous victims. Any possessed victims will walk toward a specific target, albeit in a straight, linear direction and without perception of any obstacles.
- Shakedown Road[ba] is a location in Morioh where the residents are known for extorting visitors. Despite not being a person or Rock Human, it has a Stand named Les Feuilles[bb] that allows it to move people or things that are atop its ginkgo leaves. A legend from 1901 recounts how Johnny brought the Holy Corpse to Morioh, incidentally creating the Stand; soon afterward, the Stand moved a boulder, which dropped onto Johnny's head and killed him.
- Milagro Man[bc] is the Stand of a well-known unnamed arms dealer who set his family, fortune, house and himself on fire after losing a 50-billion-dollar lawsuit. The Stand causes whoever destroys part of its previous owner's money to gain increasingly-large amounts of money until they are buried alive, regardless of their attempts to spend it. The only way to escape the Stand's ability is to either return the curse to its previous owner or pass it on to a new one.

JoJolion is written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. It premiered in Shueisha's Ultra Jump on May 19, 2011,[1] and ended on August 19, 2021.[2] In the first volume, Araki described the story of JoJolion as being the solving of a "curse" (呪い, noroi). Curses, he goes on, are the sins of the ancestors and this makes people "unclean" (穢れ, kegare), and if this curse continues it will only turn into "resentment" (恨み, urami). Another theme is that from birth we see things as black and white, but this produces a "friction" (摩擦, masatsu) from what humanity really experiences. From these, the "curse" is lifted, this being the goal of the story.
On the inside cover of volume 2, Araki explained that the "-lion" ending in the title comes from both the Christian concept of blessing and the gospels ("evangelion" in Greek), and the Ancient Greek myth of Pygmalion.
