Synopsis
History
George Joestar II was born just months after his father died at the hands of Dio Brando. He grew up to marry the child who was saved by Erina at the time. Together, they had a son named Joseph Joestar.
George became a pilot for the British Air Force during World War I. During his service, he discovered that one of his superior officers was a zombie that had been created by Dio and had been living secretly in darkness for years. George went to confront him, but unfortunately, was not trained properly in the art of ripple and died in the battle. Lisa Lisa mourned his death, which lead her to study the ripple and its use.
Trivia
- In the Jorge Joestar novel he is called Jorge Joestar, the Spanish and Portuguese translation of the name "George", to keep the tradition of the protagonists names forming the nickname JoJo. The reason given in the novel for his name to be Jorge instead of George, like his British grandfather, is that he was born on the Canary Islands, and so should have a Spanish name.
- In the anime he is named Jorge as well, likely for the same motive.
- In the original timeline George never knew his father due to him being killed before he was born. In the SBR universe, his father died when he was a child instead of before his birth.
