JORGE JOESTAR (Novel)

Template:Book Jorge Joestar is a light novel written by Otaro Maijo with illustrations by Araki Hirohiko. It was released as part of the special JoJo 25th anniversary project "VS JOJO."

The novel tells the story of George Joestar II.

About

After Jonathan's death, his son, George Joestar II travels with Erina to live in La Palma of the Canary Islands in Spain. There he pledges his love to Lisa Lisa and eventually grows to be a World War I Air Pilot... and then...

Storyline

From what can be gathered, seeing how Jorge Joestar has yet to be translated and the only real resource are pictures, it is split into two halves:

Half of the story is a story of how Jorge, Elizabeth Joestar, Erina Joestar, and another girl grew up together, eventually leading to Jorge joining the Air Force, marrying Elizabeth, and it leads to their wedding ending prematurely due to a zombie invasion.  It ends with a universal reset which brings everything back to normal.

However, the "filler" is what bring Jorge Joestar to infamy: due to Made In Heaven, the "universe", though later revealed to be just planet Earth alone, has been restarted around thirty-six times, resulting in various and random changes going through-out the individual parts of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. The only part that survived was Battle Tendency, which in every alternative take remained roughly the same (which means that, yes, thirty-six Kars that obtained Ultimate Life exist and in fact taken home on Mars in unpetrified states).  There are only three survivors of the continuous reboots, which will be labeled as "Universe J", as they are the versions we see in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: the Giorno that defeated Diavolo through the use of Gold Experience Requiem (as his new Stand nullifies Made in Heaven), Rohan (who survived because his preoccupation on his manga was so focused, he never realized Made in Heaven was working), and Kars (all of which obtained literal immortality, even to the universe reset).  As well, Universe J's Steel Ball Run existed, at least in one section, allowing the creation of the Funny Valentines.

Jorge goes out to fix the universes with Universe J-Giorno and Rohan alongside Universe J-Passione and one of the alternative universes of Part 4, in which the Nijimura (now known as Muryotaisu and Fukaghigi) brothers have pipe-shaped hair styles and Koichi is of regular height (now known as Koji); this universe carries an Okuyasu who, instead of having The Hand, instead has a dolphin-summoning Stand that can traverse waters.  Along the way, they eventually reach space, and call upon the thirty-six Kars for assistance. One of them (presumably Universe J-Kars) has changed sides, becoming a kind person, and using a chance encounter with Yoshikage Kira, obtains the use of Killer Queen by convincing it over to his side.  Then, using Bites the Dust, this Kars not only completely resets the world, forcing it to become Universe J again, but also obtains Made in Heaven in the process.

Presumably, it all ends with the Universe J-Kars's complete reset at the wedding of Jorge and Elizabeth.

Events

^{(The information below derives from a Light Novel not written by Araki. As such, it may or may not be considered canon.)}

• Stands exist in all alternative universes, but many are named after films and television series rather than bands, musicians or songs.  However, some are consistant across all universes (King Crimson and Tusk, for example).
• The 36 Kars living on Mars are presumably the 36 souls of sinners that DIO required for his plan to reach Heaven.  When Jorge draws a picture of Kars on his stomach, they form a bridge to reach the Dio described below.
• The DIO of Part 3 was not the real Dio Brando; Phantom Blood Dio Brando becomes the Ultimate Life Form and merges with the 36 versions of Tusk to become a monster. This Dio gained the Stand "The Passion", which resembles Jesus Christ; The Passion allows Dio the ability to predict his opponent's attacks.
  • The corpse parts of Steel Ball Run are of his or another Dio's corpse, which Jonathan Joestar soon combines with after being ressurected.
• Morioh Town and the Universe J's Passione's island headquarters both suddenly sprouts legs from its foundations and splits from the mainland, walking the earth.  They eventually encounter one another, which is how the heroes all meet up.
• One version of Giorno Giovanna is now host to Diavolo as an alternate personality, as that Diavolo was a renegade Stand in similar vein to Anubis. As a result, the Doppio from that universe became a separate entity with his own Stand, one capable of transforming objects into telephones (which, according to pictures, is no different from what Universe J's Doppio did to communicate with Diavolo), but it's unknown if he remained Passione's underboss in that universe or was replaced by the Diavolo-possessed Giorno.
• Out of the 36 Diavolos, only two seem to survive: the above Diavolo, and the Universe J-Diavolo, who is still suffering from the effects of Gold Experience Requiem.  Supposively, others exist, but due to King Crimson, only the Diavolos that never split from Doppio suffer the endless fate.
• Funnier has a Stand called "Rear Window" which opens windows through space, allowing Funnier to travel through them. Funniest has the original D4C (but unlike Universe J-Funny, Funniest will also die if he comes in contact with an alternative universe version of himself) and one version of Funny Valentine has a Stand called "Singing In The Rain" that grants him the power of flight instead of control over universes.
• Santana is actually very brutal and no different from his comrades, being only passive due to flesh buds Kars implanted that worked similar to DIO's.
• At least one version of Yoshikage Kira has fallen for Lisa Lisa, intending on making her another "girlfriend". In order to win her affection, he begins calling himself "Kira Kira" and eventually succeeds in killing her by using the Golden Rectangle and a rope, which bisects her in an explosion with similar power to Killer Queen's regular bomb due to Made In Heaven.  He then proceeds to dance with her corpse.

Trivia

• "Jorge" is the Portuguese and Spanish transliteration of the name "George". It is, however, pronounced "Geeorrgee" in Portuguese and "Hor-heh" in Spanish and not like the name "George".
• As far as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure goes, the Jorge Joestar novel is the most bizarre in terms of events that don't make that much sense to the manga's canon.
• A translation project or two are underway, but pictures from the book can be found here. The Prime number chapters are the ones featuring Jorge and Elizabeth growing up, the other tabs are everything else.
