Team Jodio
Team Jodio (ジョディオチーム, Jodio Chīmu)[1] is a group working for Meryl Mei Qi whose members are all Stand users. They are the primary allies in the ninth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, The JOJOLands.
Summary
Team Jodio is a group of teenagers and young adults invited by Meryl Mei Qi to be small-time gangsters with the goal of making money. They operate all over Hawaii. Excluding Charming Man, the members are students or former students from McKinley High School that Meryl recruited as their school's principal. They are primarily given missions to be gofers, transporting or smuggling things such as illegal substances and handing them over to others.[2]
They are also permitted to sell drugs, which Jodio and Paco do in their schoolyard. However, Meryl encourages them to sell to university students as well to broaden their reach and not stagnate their profits.[3] They have various locations and methods for selling goods on their schoolyard. For example, Jodio gives their client directions to walk straight ahead toward the statue of William McKinley. Paco then rides past them on an electric scooter, telling them their item is hidden inside a rain gutter.[2] In another exchange, Jodio tells the client to put their money in a nearby soft drink can first and then walk straight ahead toward the statue of King Kamehameha. Paco rides his scooter by afterward and tells them the goods are hidden under a leaf.[3]
Despite the name, their roles are based on seniority so Jodio doesn't have the authority to decide which missions they accept. He relies on Dragona and Paco to make the decisions, and serves as the lookout during their diamond heist. Meryl gives each of them a small cut of the profit for successful missions.[2] Although Meryl is cautious and does not want to leave any evidence behind, Team Jodio typically ends up being careless and conspicuous.[4][5] After discovering the Lava Rock, the team's goal is to use it as a system for bringing in a flow of money.[6]
