JORGE JOESTAR
Julio runs straight to George's house one morning after hearing about Antonio's death and sees George isn't there. He believes Lisa Lisa must have helped George with murdering Antonio, and tells their mother Erina that it must have been those two since they were both missing from their rooms. In school, he accuses George and tells him to provide proof that he isn't the culprit. His teacher, Mr. Fernandes, tells Julio that he and his friends should be ashamed for bullying George. Julio grits his teeth but continues accusing Lisa Lisa since she was missing, believing she used her weird power to kill Antonio.
When Julio's classmate, Tsukumojuku Kato, declares that he solved the case already, Julio says it's impossible because they just found Antonio's corpse less than an hour prior. He then freaks out after Tsukumojuku reveals Antonio's corpse in the classroom. Although George and his other classmates stay home from school after shock from the incident regarding Antonio, Julio still goes to school every day. He takes over Antonio's role as leader of the gang of bullies but decides not to persecute George any more.
Namesake: Fernandes Guitars (Japanese guitar manufacturer)
He is shocked to see Lisa Lisa after she reveals herself hiding inside Antonio's corpse. Mr. Fernandes goes out to the dimly lit hall to take care of the incident, but is suddenly killed by Antonio's father, Alejandro Torres.
Alejandro was a vampire and turned Mr. Fernandes into a zombie. As a zombie, he is forced to close all the curtains in the hallway for Alejandro, until his entire body crumbles from the sunlight.
Namesake: Maria Jurado (Mother of Antonio de Torres Jurado)
Every year on June 16th since Antonio was a baby, Maria peels off his skin bit by bit while leaving his blood, bones, and flesh intact. She then carefully places the pieces together, treats them with a thin-coating of oil to prevent them from drying out, seals them with medical adhesive, and sews the pieces together with very fine thread. Antonio's hair that was shed from prior months would be placed on top of the head of her creation to complete the full body work of art, which she called "This Year's Antonio".
She adapts her technique over time, while Antonio's body adapts to survive the pain. Rather than taking photographs of her child like a normal person, Maria obsessed over the texture of Antonio's skin, and wanted to preserve it each year. Before the police takes her away after they discover Antonio's corpse, Maria rubs her cheek against the final "This Year's Antonio" she created, desperate to savor her last moments with her art.

The water was moving through the house at whirlpool speeds, and Satoshi had shut the front door to protect his family from the current and the furniture hurtling along in it.

Javier Cortes starts appearing in Penelope's dreams disguised as a clown and attempts to make Penelope kill her mother. Penelope would resist it but develops a Wound ability that activates after Javier's death. Penelope's Wound causes Isabella to be locked inside her kitchen one day with a clown standing in the corner. Isabella hysterically hides behind a sofa. Penelope manages to break the door open after several repeated tries and saves Isabella, making the clown disappear. Penelope realizes the only one she can talk to and trust is Isabella. However, Isabella blames Penelope for everything and is convinced that Penelope hates her and wants to kill her.
George tries to explain the situation to Isabella and demonstrates how Penelope's ability works, but Isabella remains terrified and convinced that Penelope was possessed by the devil.
Edvard Noriega (エドヴァルド・ノリエガ, Edovarudo Noriega) is the former boyfriend of Penelope de la Rosa, although he never bothered breaking up with her. He is a thug who would beat up Penelope, treat her like his property, and sell anything she owned of value. Penelope's mother, Isabella, attempts to convince Penelope to break up with him but Edvard turns the two against each other by threatening to ruin Penelope permanently if Isabella interferes. After the case with Javier Cortes, Edvard leaves her without saying goodbye. Penelope would wait for him to come back but eventually realizes her mother is the only one she can trust and starts hating Edvard.
Edvard later shows up in front of Penelope and George Joestar on their way to Penelope's workplace. He says he just wanted to see how Penelope was doing, although she replies saying she never wants to see him again and not to expect any money from her. Edvard panickingly mentions about how he had seen something strange. His desperate and terrified demeanor confuses George, as he appeared nothing like the "alpha male" he was when George and Tsukumojuku had spoke to him before. Penelope assumes he's acting and tells him to shut up, but Edvard continues describing the mysterious Moth Man with wings he saw one night while he was in bed with his new girlfriend, Prunella. He worries that the Moth Man would do something awful to him. Edvard also mentions that he doesn't love Prunella as much as he loved Penelope.
Penelope goes berserk from her emotions and summons a locked room surrounding Edvard with her Wound's ability. However, Edvard continues mumbling about the Moth Man, deep in thought. He ends up being strangled with a noose from Penelope's clown within the locked room and almost dies until George saves him. Edvard is unconscious afterwards but still alive.

Koji Hirose saves them by breaking down the front wall of the gymnasium and letting light shine in, causing everyone to return to their senses.
Shishimaru thanks Koji and the others for saving them and calls the fire department. He also wonders how they were all able to fly there but Jorge denies it, thinking that talking to Shishimaru is like having hot air blown in your face. Jorge decides not to tell Shishimaru about Funny Valentine's message because it wasn't the time for quibbles. Shishimaru scowls when seeing his election rival, Takumi Kumoi, is also there. Jorge and the others fly away on Grand Blue and Shishimaru chases after them, shocked that they can fly after all.

Two years later in 1907, George asks Faraday about the boy who came looking for him. Faraday reveals he saw a Spaniard boy with no eyes who he thought was terrifying, rather than Tsukumojuku Kato who George saw. When Faraday learned about George suddenly being in Rome after that, he assumed that devil had done something to George but was too afraid to tell anyone.
In 1920, George visits the Motorize home on the day of his wedding, wondering why Steven is late. Faraday doesn't answer the door like he usually does. He was presumably killed by Antonio Torres and turned into a zombie like the rest of the family.

Mista apparently smelled a bit since Runbaba 12 sniffed once, makes a face, and then keeps his distance.
Daibakusho takes the filthy rubber ball and Runbaba 12 takes the lone shoe for communication purposes, as they were objects that were turned into phones by Vinegar Doppio's Stand. Runbaba 12 tries to convince Daibakusho and Jorge to trade with him since he doesn't want to carry a shoe around, but Bucciarati angrily screams for him to stop.
Jorge later tells Bucciarati to have Daibakusho and Runbaba 12 investigate what happened to Denta Shishimaru's secretary, Chien Kunimido. The two are quickly able to find Chien at his house, learning that he is actually Yoshikage Kira.
