Jorge is a 15-year old detective living in Fukui Prefecture, Japan, in the 37th iteration of the universe. He is of Japanese descent, but was adopted by the British [[Joestar Family#Joestar Family (JORGE JOESTAR)|Joestar family]] and raised English.

Jorge takes a taxi to [[Arrow Cross House]] where Tsukumojuku's body was found. He meets [[Rohan Kishibe (JORGE JOESTAR)|Rohan Kishibe]]{{Universe|37|Rohan Kishibe}}, the owner of the house. Rohan lectures Jorge that he should only call him "Rohan" rather than "Kishibe-san" or "Kishibe-sensei". Jorge hesitates so Rohan uses his [[Stand]] [[Heaven's Door]] to prevent Jorge from calling him anything else besides Rohan. He takes Jorge to the scene of the locked room murder and shows copies of the crime scene photographs that he had the police leave behind, leading Jorge to wonder how Rohan was capable of having everyone listen to his orders as if he could bend the world to his will. The two wonder how someone managed to bring a giant polar bear into the room without Rohan noticing. Later, Rohan tells Jorge about {{JJ[[Reimi Sugimoto (JORGE JOESTAR)|Reimi Sugimoto}}]]{{Universe|37|Reimi Sugimoto}}, a girl who remembers nothing aside from her name. Rohan shows the exact locations of each murder case on Jorge's map, and Jorge realizes that the triangle of dead detectives matched the exact shape of the {{W|Bermuda Triangle}}.

Morioh separates from Japan and starts sailing toward the United States. The former president of America, {{JJ[[Funny Valentine (JORGE JOESTAR) (37th Universe)|Funny Valentine}}]]{{Universe|37|Funny Valentine}}, appears in a helicopter holding up a message stating that if nothing changes, the American army will flip the island. As the helicopter flies away, a loudspeaker in the distance declares that Morioh will have an emergency meeting at the Budogaoka gymnasium and all citizens must attend. Jorge questions whether he should come with them because he isn't a Stand user, but everyone convinces him to because he's the detective and has to solve the case.

Jorge witnesses some Passione members killing civilians and then moving the bodies out of sight by dropping them in water or hiding them in tall grass. Just then, Nero Nero Island collides with Morioh, but the collision of the two barriers propels Nero Nero Island upwards. Insect-like legs suddenly emerge from under Nero Nero Island as it crashes through Morioh's barrier and lands in the harbor. Jorge, Muryotaisu, and Fukashigi freeze in shock. [[NYPD Blue]] fires a shot in the air to wake everyone up. As they're about to retreat, Jorge remembers {{JJ|[[Reimi Sugimoto (JORGE JOESTAR)|Reimi}}]] and goes back for her. [[Rohan Kishibe (JORGE JOESTAR)|Rohan]] then appears behind them flying with [[Blue Thunder]], and says that he'll ensure Reimi is safe himself.

Meanwhile, the "moon" had a large quantity of "tentacles" surrounding it and grabs the spaceship. President [[The Funniest Valentine]] appears on the loudspeaker and informs them that he is presently at the UN Headquarters in New York, attending an emergency meeting regarding the mysterious life form which they are calling [[The Eyed Balloon]]. The Funniest shows the astronauts seven images of The Eyed Balloon's interior, highlighting the {{W|Giotto (spacecraft)|Giotto probes}} floating in the back. The Funniest shows them another picture from a [[Nazi]] base in Switzerland and explains the fate of '''{{JJ|Kars|t=2}}''', who is the horned man that they saw earlier. Jorge is surprised to learn that his adoptive great-grandfather, {{JJ|[[Joseph Joestar (37th Universe)|t=2}}Joseph Joestar]], is the man who defeated Kars. The Funniest then gives them an ultimatum to escape The Eyed Balloon's tentacles in ten minutes or they will detonate the H.G. Wells spaceship remotely to prevent Kars from returning to Earth.

They find a sign displaying "Wastewood" as well as a newspaper dated November 11, 1920. Jorge wonders how they ended up 92 years ago and why the place looks abandoned, as they couldn't find any citizens. Narancia jokingly congratulates Jorge after he discovers a wedding venue for "{{JJ|George Joestar II|Jorge Joestar}}" and {{JJ|Lisa Lisa|Elizabeth Straizo|t=2}}. Jorge realizes that it must be the other Jorge who [[Tsukumojuku Kato|Tsukumojuku]] told him about. Jorge tells Narancia that they should check out the other Jorge's home but Pucci says that they should go to the capital, London, as something waits for them in 'Desolation Row'. However, Narancia then sees three [[zombie]] men fighting to eat a little girl. Narancia kills the three men but the girl becomes a zombie herself. Jorge, Narancia, and Pucci fight off the zombies with their Stands.

The group arrives at London, where Pucci is greeted by {{JJ[[Funny Valentine (JORGE JOESTAR) (Unknown Universe)|Funny Valentine}}]], who also introduces them to {{JJ|Dio Brando}}. Seeing holes in Dio's hands and feet, Pucci weeps for his lord as arrows appear all over [[Whitesnake]]'s body. Pucci levitates and becomes the center of gravity, unleashing his new Stand [[C-MOON]]. However, C-MOON's body then cracks and [[Made in Heaven]] emerges from it. Just before Pucci could activate Made in Heaven, Dio holds up his hand. The giant wall surrounding Great Britain formed the upside-down upper half of a giant version of [[Antonio Torres]]. The giant Antonio looks down at them and grabs Pucci, swallowing him to send him outside of the barrier. Pucci then activates Made in Heaven within Antonio's belly, speeding up time outside England. The universe loops 36 times, bringing the island of Great Britain to 2012 in the 37th universe. Jorge wonders if their six month journey from Mars back to Earth only took four hours because of Pucci, but Kars reveals that the priest had a complicated flow of time compressed within him. At the same time he was on the spaceship with them, he was also in another universe killing someone.<ref name="JORGE14">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 14}}</ref>

They meet {{JJ|Lisa Lisa|t=2}} who sees Jorge enjoying Penelope embracing him, so she slaps him. Jorge introduces himself and admires Lisa Lisa's beauty. Although he decides not to tell Lisa Lisa about Kars in case it causes a time paradox, Penelope does so anyways. Penelope declares her resolve to Lisa Lisa that she will find {{JJ|George Joestar II|George}} and bring him back. Meanwhile, Jorge is jealous that the other George has beautiful women who care for him. Funny flings a cape around Jorge but before it could cover him, Lisa Lisa punches Funny's cheek with the [[Ripple]]. However, the cape falls onto Jorge anyways and he is teleported to a parallel world along with Funny.<ref name="JORGE16">{{Ch|JORGE JOESTAR Chapter 16}}</ref>

In the middle of a red desert, Jorge sees a car headed toward him with another 'Funny Valentine' driving it. After getting an explanation of Funny's Stand, [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]], Jorge sees many cars racing across the desert. The 'Funny' that was in the car tells Jorge that it's the second stage of the [[Steel Ball Run (raceRace)|Steel Ball Run]], taking place in {{W|Monument Valley}}. Jorge mentions that one of his ancestors was in the Steel Ball Run, but it was a horse race. 'Funny' responds that the race can change in each world, as some worlds have races with planes and blimps instead. In Jorge's universe, the competitors of the race gathered nine Holy Grails, and {{JJ|Johnny Joestar|t=2}} played a major role but had to drop out along the way.

Not caring about the race, Jorge asks why he was brought to this world. 'Funny' reveals that the two 'Singularities' are the body of the [[Saint's Corpse|holy man]] and Jorge Joestar. A singularity is something that only exists once, and there is no other instance of them. The Saint's Corpse only exists in the second universe, where the very first Steel Ball Run took place. Jorge is a singularity because he is an abandoned Japanese kid adopted by the [[Joestar Family#Joestar Family (JORGE JOESTAR)|Joestar familyFamily]] and there is no replacement for him in any other universe or parallel world. Jorge questions whether he should trust what 'Funny' is saying, but 'Funny' tells him to just have faith in himself. He opens the car, lets Jorge get in, and then the other Funny starts driving them away. Jorge sees a massive cloud headed towards them from behind, which Funny reveals is Kars from this parallel world. In order to conquer Kars, Funny had fought Kars numerous times in different parallel worlds, trying to find a way to seal Kars or send him away. Kars easily tosses this world's 'Funny' aside while the other Funny starts driving faster. Their car crashes and half of Funny's head gets torn off, but Jorge survives after slamming into a nearby rock.

Kars immediately extracts Jorge's [[DISC]] with [[Whitesnake Ultimate]] to read everything that Jorge has learned so far. Jorge realizes he still has the pebble phone and calls Bucciarati, who informs him of the events in the [[Arrow Cross House]] and how the other {{JJ|George Joestar II|George}} solved the mystery. Kars tells Jorge to think of a way for them to get back to England. Meanwhile, this parallel world's version of Kars performs a dancing light show while the original Kars and Jorge watch in confusion. Jorge believes that it's just something that 'Kars's is doing for himself. The other 'Kars's spiels that after running on Mars for so long, he understood that despite the immortality of his flesh, his life is fragile and can be extinguished easily. His speech puts the original Kars deep in thought and Jorge discovers a way they could get back to England. They find a house at the edge of Morioh, belonging to {{JJ|Kosaku Kawajiri}}, {{JJ|Shinobu Kawajiri|Shinobu}}, and {{JJ|Hayato Kawajiri|Hayato}}.
