Synopsis

History

According to the story told in the manga, after Jesus' resurrection, he thanked Joseph of Arimathea for the care of his body and stated that he would travel to the east. When Joseph asked him about a future meeting, Jesus made a map in the sand showing Joseph nine locations.

Jesus then traveled east across the continent, learning new languages and cultures until he reached the sea. Making a ship with the help of the locals, he set off across the sea to what would be known as America, where he lived, aged, and was finally put to rest. He seemed to have at least partial connection with the natives, who stated prior to his deathbed that they wished to see him. Shortly after his death, a large earthquake tore the ground apart, dividing his corpse by the movement of sand and relocating it to the different areas of America that would become the nine locations on Joseph of Arimathea's map.[1]

Steel Ball Run

His body is initially suspected as the body of another saint, as several characters on the race were after the corpse parts. In the initial chapters of SBR, the relationship between the corpse and the Devil's Palm is uncertain, bringing a Stand to everyone who made contact with them. Later it is revealed that the Devil's Palm was created when Jesus' body was finally laid to rest and a great catastrophe destroyed much of the land.

Blackmore perceives Jesus.

Blackmore was the first to perceive the presence of Jesus. Surprised that Jesus has revealed to him, he lowered his guard and was shot by Lucy.[2]

In his fight with Axl Ro, Johnny received advice from Jesus to defeat Civil War's ability. After this fight, Funny Valentine steals all the corpse parts from Gyro and Johnny.[3]

Later, when Lucy Steel fled from the president, she tripped over the stolen body parts, and somehow become pregnant, discovering the corpse's head in her womb and later developing a Stand.


Stand

It could be assumed that Lucy's Stand is the stand of his complete body. This stand enables misfortunes to be redirected from a certain area when the corpse is complete.
