Stardust Crusaders
During the Joestar Group's journey to Egypt, Roses takes Suzi Q and a Speedwagon Foundation member to visit Holy. The Speedwagon Foundation member questions if Roses told Suzi Q about her daughter's Stand-based sickness. Roses replied that he tried, but didn't have the courage because he couldn't stand to see Suzi Q sad. Due to the possibility of Joseph not making it in time, leaving only a few days for Suzi Q to see her daughter before her death, Roses decides to tell her the truth to prepare her. Because of Suzi's childish, carefree and curious behavior towards Japan, she disregards what Roses has to say, which eventually leads to her getting in trouble with a Yakuza member. Roses saves her in time, causing Suzi to reveal that she already knows about her daughter's condition and he shouldn't have to worry because Joseph always finds a way out of dangerous situations.[2]
