—Holy Kujo, Chapter 114: Jotaro Kujo, Part 1

Holy Kujo (空条 ホリィ, Kūjō Horī), nascida Joestar, é uma aliada secundária apresentada na terceira parte de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders. Ela é a filha de Joseph Joestar e Suzi Q, assim como a esposa de Sadao Kujo, e mãe de Jotaro Kujo.

Por causa da conexão entre o corpo de Jonathan Joestar com seus descendentes, Holy adquire um Stand quando DIO adquire o seu próprio. Entretanto, ela adoece por causa do poder de seu Stand, fazendo com que Joseph e Jotaro vão ao Egito para matar DIO para salvá-la.

Aparência

Holy Kujo é uma mulher de quarenta-e-cinco anos de ascendência britânica e italiana com cabelos claros na altura de seus ombros. Como é o caso com qualquer outro Joestar, ela possui uma marca de nascença em formato de estrela no lado esquerdo de seu pescoço.

Holy wears multiple outfits in Stardust Crusaders. In her first appearance, she wears a long dress, a pearl necklace, and earrings. When she meets with Joseph, she wears a coat over a collared shirt and a skirt in addition to the necklace and earrings. At home, she wears a long-sleeve shirt, a long skirt, an apron, slippers, and circular earrings. When she faints the next morning, she wears a cardigan, a shirt, a long skirt, and circular earrings. While being taken care of by the Speedwagon Foundation, she wears a nightgown, being bedridden. These outfits differ across the manga, anime, and OVA.

In the first episode of the Stardust Crusaders anime, her circular earrings were designed to be inherited from Lisa Lisa.[1] Her previous outfit in the same episode also has her wearing a beaded necklace, similar to what Suzi Q wears in the anime when she is older.

Noriaki Kakyoin about Holy Kujo, Chapter 122: Head to Egypt
Holy's "loving" relationship with her son

Holy is a cheerful, doting mother, hardly ever seen without a smile. Despite her son's common insults and general annoyance at here, she's able to see through him and perceive the true kindness within him, of which she is deeply proud.[2] She loves her family with all her heart and will even lie about her own well-being to keep them from worrying about her.[3] In general, she is a caring person, showing concern for the wounded Kakyoin and caring for his wounds.[4] Kakyoin feels inspired by her, calling her someone who just puts you at ease by being near.[3]

Despite her age, she is sometimes childish, tickling her father in public[5] and playfully demanding that he call her by her nickname.[6]

Having lived in Japan for twenty years she has adapted to living there well, speaking Japanese very well, as noted by a policeman.[7],

Abilities

Holy is fluent in Japanese due to living in Japan for two decades.[7]

Stand

Main article: Holy's Stand

While DIO was alive, she developed a Stand, but was incapable of using it, both due to her gentle nature and not having the need to battle or fight. Her Stand gave her high, fever-like symptoms while deteriorating her health until she dies in approximately 50 days. Her "ability" was the reason why her father, Joseph, and her son, Jotaro, went to kill DIO and caused the events of Stardust Crusaders to unfold.

History

Battle Tendency

Holy as a child, briefly featured in the Battle Tendency anime

She is first mentioned at the end of Battle Tendency when a Japanese man bumps into Joseph with his suitcase, asking if he is alright but also blaming Joseph for not looking where he was going. While Joseph is about to dismiss this, he notices the man is Japanese and knees him in the stomach. He then claims that he hates the Japanese because his beloved daughter fell in love with a Japanese man and left home to the other end of the world, rarely coming home to visit for the next twenty years.

In the anime, she was also shown as a little girl alongside her parents as they overlook Erina on her deathbed.

Stardust Crusaders

Holy is healed after DIO's death

Holy is introduced as the loving mother of Jotaro Kujo. When he locks himself in jail, claiming to be possessed by an evil spirit, Holy calls her father, Joseph Joestar, to see him. Joseph tells Jotaro and Holy that DIO had acquired the body of Jonathan Joestar, and with it had somehow developed a Stand ability, but yet he fails to convince him even with proof. However, Holy does not care much about it and continues to live as if everything was normal.

Because of this, all of Jonathan's descendants had also developed a Stand, the "evil spirit" Jotaro mentioned. Holy eventually develops one too, but doesn't have the strength to support it and falls ill after hiding her condition for a time to no worry her family. Holy's ailing condition becomes the catalyst for Jotaro and company's quest to Egypt, as the defeat of DIO would stop Holy's Stand of showing itself. As the Joestar Group travels from Tokyo to Cairo, Holy's sickness worsens. At one point, she receives the visit of her mother Suzi Q.

At the end of the adventure, she is back on her feet and once more the loving person she was.

Video Games

JoJo RPG (SFC)

Holy appears as a character the player can talk with during the first scenario, at Jotaro's house. Besides that, she appears only in cutscenes.

Heritage for the Future (PS1/DC/Arcade Game)

During the game, Holy only appears in cutscenes that are similar to the events of the manga. She is shown when she gets sick and at the end of the game.

There is a mistranslation in the game's cutscenes in Jotaro's story mode where she refers to her father Joseph as Jotaro's uncle, when in fact Joseph is Jotaro's grandfather. This was corrected in the HD version as "I'd better tell his grandfather about this."

Trivia

  • At the beginning of Chapter 120, Holy is seen singing to herself: "Come on, baby, do the locomotion", likely from Gerry Goffin and Carole King's song "The Loco-Motion", made famous in the 1980s when it was covered by Kylie Minogue. Similarly, in the 2014 anime adaptation, she hums Seiko Matsuda's 1980s pop song "Aoi Sangoshou" ("Blue Coral Reef" in English), fitting well into the timeline as a Japanese song popular around the time Stardust Crusaders takes place in and also making a reference to Holy's Japanese name being Seiko.
