When was the harvest date for the new Rokakaka?
JoJolion has used the date for the new Rokakaka's harvest as a time reference to give a sense of distress towards impending obstacles, such as "5 days until the harvest"[1] and "13 minutes until harvest"[2] but the true day of the harvest is never specified. Despite this, there's enough information given throughout the part to deduce two conflicting dates.
- Joshu is stated to be 18 years old and born in 1992[3] throughout the entirety of JoJolion (excluding flashbacks) so the story cannot extended to 2012.
- The earthquake mentioned at the start of JoJolion takes place on March 11, 2011.[4]
- Damo's arrival at the Higashikata estate takes place in September, 6 months after the March earthquake.[5]
- Therefore, the main story of JoJolion takes place in September.
- September 25
- September 22
Missing song references
The vast majority of Stands following Part 4 have been named after or at least made a reference to Western music. My personal favorite is The Hand named after a band called The Band. The only Stand to have been named after Japanese music was Chocolate Disco and some other Stands have ambigious origins. Here's a quick list of possible namesakes for those without a designated music reference.
- Awaking III Leaves
- Awaking The Centuries
- Awakenings No.3 Leaves Floating
- Awakening from Nostradamus (album)[7]
- Walking Heart
- Walking Heart Attack
- I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking
- Walkin' Good by Heart (band)
- Go Beyond
- To Go Beyond

How many racers died in the Steel Ball Run race?
Quick calculation of how many people died from the nine stages of the race in total. Obviously does not count the thousands of racers who dropped out or retired. If not specifically stated that a racer died, it is assumed they dropped out. In the case that a racer drops out and is later killed, that also doesn't count. This happens to Hot Pants and Mountain Tim.
- Stage 1: September 25, 1890 - September 25, 1890
The Boomboom family killed three men during the first stage, poor guys.[19] (3)
- Stage 2: September 26, 1890 - October 14, 1890
Apparently 82 people died during the second stage,[20] only named one is Benjamin Boomboom.[21] (85)
- Stage 3: October 14, 1890 - October 19, 1890
No known deaths. (85)
- Stage 4: October 19, 1890 - November 9, 1890
Gaucho is killed by Ringo in the fourth stage, no other known deaths.[22] (86)
- Stage 5: November 9, 1980 - November 23, 1890
Two deaths here from the fight with Sandman. First, Dot Han is used as a bomb and gets destroyed.[23] A little later Sandman himself bites the dust.[24] (88)
- Stage 6: November 23, 1890 - December 7, 1890
No known deaths. (88)

- Stage 7: December 7, 1890 - December 28, 1890
No known deaths. (88)
- Stage 8: December 28, 1890 - January 19, 1891
Diego Brando and Gyro Zeppeli are killed by Funny Valentine during the penultimate stage.[25][26] (90)
- Stage 9: January 19, 1891 - January 19, 1891
No known deaths (AU Diego died after the race ended). (90)
Therefore 90 racers died in the Steel Ball Run race
- Of the 3,652[3][27] racers who competed:
- 39 completed the race[28] (~1.07%)
- 90 died (~2.46%)
- 3,523 dropped out but survived (~96.47%)
However, the official race tally would say 88 dead and 3,525 retired due to no one being aware of Gyro or Diego's deaths. On a side note, the number of racers is first mentioned to be 3,852[19] but 3,652 is mentioned more and later on.
Morioh & Morioh
Although their layout differs, the settings of Part 4 and Part 8 share a good amount of similarities. The following is a complete list of the similarities between DIU's Morioh and JoJolion's Morioh.
- Both towns share the same name "Morioh"
- They have very similar emblems[4][29]
- Miso-flavored beef tongue is the town's speciality food[4][29]
- It is a popular spot for tourists[4][30]
- DIU's Morioh has the Mutsu-kabe Hill while JoJolion's Morioh has the Mutsukabe Shrine[31][32]
