Jonathan Joestar ★ History
Um resumo detalhado e cronológico da vida de Jonathan Joestar.
Infância (1868-1880)
Ainda bebê, Jonathan se envolveu num acidente de carruagem, resultando na morte de sua mãe, Mary Joestar. O pai de Jonathan, George Joestar I, pensou que o pai bandido de Dio havia salvo sua vida e jurou retribuir essa dívida. Jonathan então viveu uma, de certo modo, triste juventude sem sua mãe. Aos 5 anos, Jonathan foi presenteado com o cão Danny como companheiro. No entanto, o primeiro encontro entre eles terminou mal, pois Danny estava amedrontado e mordeu Jonathan no braço. Por um tempo, Jonathan e Danny foram inimigos e Jonathan continuou provocando Danny. Porém, certo dia, Danny salvou Jonathan de um afogamento. Comovido, Jonathan parou de antagonizar Danny e os dois se tornaram amigos.
Phantom Blood (1880)
Juventude com Dio
Um dia, Jonathan vai ao socorro de uma jovem garota chamada Erina Pendleton, que estava sendo humilhada por dois valentões, apenas para ser espancado por ser uma criança rica. Quando Erina tenta ajudá-lo, ele recusa e revela que, como um cavalheiro aspirante, estava brigando por ser a coisa certa a fazer, não para chamar sua atenção. Ao retornar para casa, Jonathan vê uma carruagem e se encontra com Dio. Embora Jonathan tenha o cumprimentado, Dio opta por chutar Danny, cachorro de Jonathan, na cara, deixando o garoto bravo. Ao ser recebido por George, Dio imediatamente se faz de vítima. A vida de Jonathan se torna um inferno a medida que Dio tenta romper seu espírito através de dominância e isolamento.[1]
Dio continuamente assedia Jonathan de todas as formas. Jonathan é superado nos estudos e os modos perfeitos de Dio o fazem ser mal visto aos olhos de George. Além disso, Dio segue impressionando as crianças vizinhas e falando mal de Jonathan, isolando-o de seus companheiros. Naquela época, Jonathan cruza o caminho de Erina novamente; os dois se tornam próximos e eventualmente se apaixonam, passando seus dias juntos. Dio fica sabendo disso e decido negar a Jonathan qualquer chance de romance ao forçadamente assediar o primeiro beijo de Erina, incutindo uma profunda vergonha à garota.
Ao ficar sabendo da ação de Dio, Jonathan o confronta na Mansão Joestar, onde sua determinação pela honra de Erina e sua dignidade lhes dão a força para superar Dio. Jonathan brevemente nota uma Máscara de Pedra na parede reagindo ao sangue de Dio, mas é distraído por seu pai, que tenta apartar a briga antes que ela piore. Apesar de confrontar Dio, Jonathan foi incapaz de encontrar Erina após isso, enquanto descobriu que seu querido cão, Danny, foi morto ao "acidentalmente" ser posto no incinerador. Jonathan suspeitava que a morte de Danny seria obra de Dio, mas Dio havia notado o tipo de pessoa que Jonathan era e decidiu seguir em paz pelo momento.[2]
Idade Adulta (1888)
Sete anos depois, Jonathan frequentava a Academia Hugh Hudson, onde pretendia se graduar como arqueólogo. Durante esse lapso de 7 anos, Jonathan ainda se mantinha cauteloso com Dio apesar de sua fachada. Quando George adoeceu, Jonathan encontrou a carta do pai de Dio, Dario, e descobriu que Dio estava envenenando seu pai para roubar a fortuna da família Joestar.[3] Embora não tivesse provas físicas além da clara animosidade de Dio para com seu pai biológico, Jonathan deixou o seu aos cuidados de médicos enquanto tentava encontrar uma cura. A busca de Jonathan o levou para a Rua Ogre, onde tenta ganhar a amizade de um criminoso local chamado Robert E. O. Speedwagon, que tentou esfaqueá-lo antes de descobrir a pessoa adorável que ele era. Com a ajuda de Speedwagon, Jonathan encontrou o vendedor do veneno de Dio, Wang Chan, e obteve um antídoto para seu pai.
Nascimento de um Vampiro
Jonathan, então, aguarda por Dio na Mansão Joestar, junto com Speedwagon, George e um esquadrão da polícia para prendê-lo por tentativa de homicídio. Dio, havendo aprendido sobre o poder da Máscara de Pedra, tenta esfaquear Jonathan. No entanto, George subitamente se joga na frente de seu filho e acabou se ferindo em seu lugar. Dio coloca a Máscara de Pedra e a ativa com o sangue de George antes dos policiais abrirem fogo contra ele, supostamente o matando. Jonathan segura seu pai em seus braços e testemunha a sua morte. Repentinamente, Dio se revela vivo e começa a atacar. Chocado, Jonathan aponta para Dio uma pistola, mas sem conseguir atirar, o que leva Speedwagon a balear Dio na cabeça, um movimento em vão, pois Dio havia virado um Vampiro.
Dio slaughters the constables and breaks Speedwagon's arm. Seeing that Dio has become a monster, Jonathan resolves to fight this inhuman threat. However, Dio is supernaturally strong and can regenerate wounds, making Jonathan's fight a nearly desperate endeavor. Jonathan is forced to set fire to his home in hopes that the amassed heat would kill him. After luring Dio to the roof to let the fire build up, Jonathan tackles the Vampire so that they both fall into the flames. Dio crushes JoJo's ribs and kicks him away but Jonathan manages to stick a speartip that Dio flicked into his shoulder into the wall as an improvised hold and ties his belt to Dio's foot, pulling him back down. Jonathan stabs Dio with the very knife that killed his father and somehow manages to make it so Dio is impaled statue of the goddess Venus, effectively trapping him in the flaming building. As Dio curses him, Jonathan manages to jump out of a window and remains alive despite many burns and injuries.[4] Speedwagon manages to take Jonathan to a hospital, where the protagonist ends up seeing Erina for the first time in seven years. Despite Dio's actions in the past, it did not change Erina's feelings for Jonathan as she nursed him back to health.[5]
Ripple Training
After being discharged from the hospital a few days later, Jonathan meets Will Anthonio Zeppeli, an Italian martial artist trained in the art of Sendō. Zeppeli punches Jonathan in the stomach but the blow somehow heals his remaining wounds. Zeppeli then reveals that Dio survived the estate burning and offers to teach Jonathan to utilize a respiratory-based solar energy called Ripple in order to defeat Dio and destroy the Stone Mask. After a little week of training, Jonathan is capable of using the Ripple. JoJo drives away a zombified Wang Chan who has been sent to kill him, but Wang Chan escapes. Jonathan later learns from Speedwagon that Dio had apparently set up base at Windknight's Lot, resulting in the disappearance of several of its citizens. Drawing near to the village, the group is attacked by a newly zombified Jack the Ripper sent by Dio. Zeppeli offers the zombie's defeat as a final test for Jonathan, giving him a glass of wine and ordering him to defeat Jack without spilling a drop. Jonathan eventually realizes that the wine is infused with a Ripple that detects people nearby. Realising how the Ripple can travel through materials, he detects Jack before defeating him by transmitting Ripple through the wall.[6] Once at Windknight's Lot, Jonathan and his group are unknowingly led by a hypnotized boy named Poco to a graveyard where Dio's large number of minions ambush them the moment night falls.
Luck and Pluck
Dio reveals himself at that time, having learned of the Ripple fighting style and shows off his ability to flash-freeze anyone that touches him, preventing the Ripple from reaching him with bare-handed attacks. Zeppeli's arms are frozen and Jonathan's arms are almost lost too. Sure of his ultimate victory Dio then reveals his strongest zombie warriors, the knights Bruford and Tarkus.[7]
Bruford attacks Jonathan with his hair, planning to suck his blood through them. Jonathan cannot transmit the Ripple but manages to burn the hair with a burning Ripple and strikes his own arm. Impressed by Jonathan's spirit and wits, Bruford requests Dio to let him fight the human in a duel. Dio accepts and leaves the place. Bruford takes their battle underwater, where Jonathan is at a disadvantage as he was unable to breathe air in during the fall. Recalling a lesson from his late father, Jonathan dives deeper into the water where he finds air bubbles trapped underneath rocks; using these to breathe, Jonathan is able to generate enough Ripple to force Bruford out of the water. Bruford tries to finish off Jonathan, but Jonathan channels Ripple through the zombie's sword to literally disarm him before unleashing a flurry of 'Sunlight Yellow Overdrive' punches. As Bruford breaks down, he regains his human soul and in respect for Jonathan leaves him his sword, which he renames "Luck and Pluck".[8]
Zeppeli's sacrifice
Tarkus steps in, crushing the remains of Bruford. Zeppeli's arms have been defrosted thanks to Speedwagon but even the Ripple master is wounded because of Tarkus' sheer strength. Cornered at the edge of a cliff, Jonathan and Zeppeli create a leaf-based hang-glider that magnetized with the Ripple and jump along with Speedwagon and the young Poco. Mid-flight, the group sees an ancient knight's battleground where these warriors once trained. Tarkus jumps into the glider and forces the heroes to land on a balcony. Jonathan enters inside and is ambushed. He is collared and finds himself in the "Lair of the Two-Headed Dragon", where two warriors are chained together by the neck, with the chain going up to the ceiling. Unable to breathe properly, Jonathan is at a disadvantage but Poco bravely sneaks into the room to open the door for Zeppeli. Zeppeli steps in, having realized that this is the moment of his death. Despite Zeppeli's intervention, Tarkus manages to tie Zeppeli with the chain and violently yanks it, cutting Zeppeli in half and breaking Jonathan's neck. However, Zeppeli uses the last of his strength to crawl to Jonathan's side and transfers him his Ripple. Empowered, Jonathan heals and easily defeats Tarkus.[9] Jonathan also has to see his Ripple master give him a last goodbye before passing away. Afterwards, Jonathan cremates Zeppeli's body before resuming the search for Dio.
Jonathan vs. Dio
The group heads toward Windknight's Lot. Attacked by a citizen turned in a Zombie named Adams, Jonathan easily dispatches him. Immediately after, Jonathan meets with an unknown man who attacks him. The man uses a special technique to lock Jonathan's arm with his legs but Jonathan headbutts him. Impressed, the warrior named Dire calls off the fight and reveals himself as a Ripple user that Zeppeli called for help. Tonpetty, Straizo, and Dire have come to help the group.
The group reach Dio's castle where Jonathan saves Poco's sister from Doobie before confronting Dio. Facing his archenemy again, Jonathan confesses that he's come not to vanquish evil, but to avenge his fallen friends and loved ones. Dire is nonetheless the first to attack Dio, and is quickly defeated. After Dire is killed by Dio's freezing powers, Jonathan gets the idea to counter Dio's freezing by channeling his Ripple through Luck and Pluck.[10] Dio, livid over Dire's last attack, summons his zombies to take care of the others while he deals with Jonathan one-on-one. Thanks to his sword and Dio's eye wound, Jonathan manages to split Dio's upper body vertically, but Dio's resilience allows him to shrug the sword cut and the Vampire traps Luck and Pluck into his stomach, freezing Jonathan's arms through the sword. Jonathan counters Dio's stratagem by placing Luck and Pluck's tip into a fire nearby, forcing Dio to break away from Jonathan. Finally, Jonathan set his fists on fire to remove Dio's advantage and lands a Ripple-infused punch into Dio's stomach while sending him plummeting off the edge of the balcony. Despite everything, Jonathan mourns for Dio and collapses from exhaustion. After recovering, Jonathan's group destroys the Stone Mask.[11]
Marriage and Conclusion
Two weeks after the Windknight's Lot incident, Jonathan marries Erina and the two board a ship heading to America for a honeymoon. In the middle of the ocean, Jonathan's honeymoon is cut short as he spots Wang Chan lurking near and Jonathan is led to the ship's cargo bay/engine room, where he encounters a bodiless Dio. Dio explains that he's developed some respect for Jonathan and has decided to steal his body, as this body is the only one worthy of him. Dio then shoots beams of pressurized eye fluid at Jonathan. Jonathan's throat is hit and he agonizes, although Dio was aiming at the head for an immediate death. Regardless, Dio orders Wang Chan to rip off Jonathan's head while warning him to be both respectful and wary of his new body. Using the last of his Ripple, Jonathan destroys Wang Chan's head and manipulates his body to obstruct the engines. Jonathan intended this to cause an explosion that would sink the ship and hopefully put an end to Dio for good.

While Erina was content to die with him in his final moments, Jonathan beseeches her to escape with an infant whose mother died protecting her from the zombies that Wang Chan sired. Dio explains that his coffin is explosion-proof and makes a last-ditch attempt to take Jonathan's body at that time, only to be stabbed and restrained by Jonathan. In his mind, Jonathan reflects on his and Dio's remarkably interwoven history. Erina is shoved into the coffin alongside the baby and Jonathan makes his last good bye to her, wishing her to be happy. Dio attempts to convince Jonathan to let him go with promises of immortality, only to realize that he had already died before the two were consumed in the inferno caused by the ship's explosion.[12] Thanks to Jonathan Joestar's heroic sacrifice, the Joestar Family survives through Erina and their unborn son and Dio is sealed at the bottom of the sea.
Legacy
Jonathan's story was known only to a few, namely his son George Joestar II and later his grandson Joseph Joestar and his descendants. Despite Jonathan's last act, Dio manages to take the headless body of his rival for his own and resurfaces from the ocean depths a century later.[13] Once freed, the renamed DIO uses Jonathan's body to impregnate a few women: resulting in the births of Giorno Giovanna, Donatello Versus, Ungalo, and Rikiel. DIO then pierces his new body with the Bow and Arrow, awakening the ability to use a Stand. DIO also gave Enrico Pucci one of Jonathan's bones to enact his dream of 'ascending to Heaven'.
During the events of Stardust Crusaders, DIO decides to completely integrate Jonathan's body to perfect his Stand by using Joseph's blood as a catalyst, but ends up being utterly defeated by Jonathan's great-great-grandson, Jotaro Kujo. After DIO's death by Jotaro's hand, he and Joseph expose what remained of Jonathan's body to the sun as an apparent end to their generational feud with DIO, allowing Jonathan to finally rest in peace.

JORGE JOESTAR
Jonathan Joestar has a minor role in the light novel JORGE JOESTAR. After Erina enters Dio's coffin to escape the explosion of the ship on their honeymoon trip, she looks back wondering if she could somehow get Jonathan inside as well. However, Jonathan is using the last of his strength to hold Dio in his arms and Erina would not be able to move him in time. As the explosion hits, Dio escapes from Jonathan's grip and decapitates him before barely attaching his head to Jonathan's body. He impales Jonathan's feet to a stick of wood embedded in the tattered side of the coffin, allowing him to travel along with Erina.
While on his voyage with Erina, Dio would often use Jonathan's name to torture her, claiming things like Jonathan died because of Erina. A day later, Erina realizes that Dio must have brought Jonathan's head with him. After Dio throws Erina underwater while torturing her, she sees Jonathan's head bobbing up and down under debris of the ship near the coffin. Erina swims to Jonathan's head assuming he would look like a Zombie but his flesh miraculously hadn't decayed and he still looked alive. Even Dio is surprised to see Jonathan's condition, thinking he had made Jonathan a zombie with his blood. Erina ends up keeping Jonathan's head with her, feeling that he is still alive. When she and Lisa Lisa are rescued by a fisherman, she hides his head in a torn piece of her dress. Erina has hope that Jonathan will get his body back from Dio someday and keeps his head at her home's basement in La Palma.[18]
When Dio gets his Stand, Jonathan's body also awakens a Stand named The Passion. It can see the futures of any of his descendants.[19]
Eventually, Jonathan's head moves with Erina and George Joestar II to their basement in England.[20]
Tonpetty tells George II that Jonathan was barely a man at all. He was a spoiled boy, weak willed, not very smart, and prone to taking the easy way out. However, Jonathan always had a glimmer of courage.[21]
In the final battle against Dio Brando, Jorge Joestar37 cuts off the supplementary head from the Saint's Corpse and places Jonathan's head on the stump. Jonathan's head fits on the body perfectly, as it was actually his body originally. During Dio's earlier fight against Kars, Dio's body had split apart into pieces in the second universe, becoming what people in the Steel Ball Run race thought was the corpse of a holy man.
Erina wraps her shawl around Jonathan's waist so he wouldn't be naked. For a moment, Jorge could see Jonathan's Stand The Passion around his head. Jonathan revives and suddenly starts laughing, claiming that he is actually Dio since Dio had given him his blood after cutting off Jonathan's head on the boat. Everybody is shocked aside from Erina who could tell that he is joking. She scolds him by saying he should at least thank everyone for their help instead of joking like that.
Jonathan states that he couldn't remember anything after he passed out in the ship but he felt like he was watching a very long dream and what he just did was an inside joke between him and Dio, referencing what Joseph Joestar does in the future. When Dio was using The Passion to watch the futures of Jonathan's descendants, Jonathan had also been seeing them. Erina and Jonathan have a tearful reunion. Erina hesitates mentioning what happened to their son, George II, and Jonathan looks confused. He had figured out that George was hiding inside a parallel world within the body of the 37th universe's Jorge. George leaps out of the parallel world and the Joestar family all have a group hug.[22]
37th Universe
An incarnation of Jonathan appears in the 37th universe, living in America with his father George Joestar I37 and adopted brother Dio Brando37.
Jonathan's grandson Joseph Joestar37 describes Jonathan as a gentleman, kindhearted, handsome, and so athletic that he played rugby with younger men until quite late in life. Jonathan eventually dies trying to stop his brother Dio from robbing a train.[23]
