History Characters / JoJoNewUniversePhantomBlood

* DetectEvil: Like his canon counterpart, his time as a criminal in England's [[WretchedHive Ogre Street]] allowed him to develop the ability to judge a person's benevolence or malice by their smell alone. This later helped expose to Jonathan the true extent of Dio's evil and later determine the true nature of Lorenz Keel and SEELE.

* CrossoverCouple: Unlike his canon counterpart, he falls in love with [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]] and later marries her, eventually resulting in the birth of Rainbow Dash and Shining Armor.

* CrossoverRelatives: Unlike his canon counterpart, he falls in love with [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]] and later marries her, eventually resulting in the birth of Rainbow Dash and Shining Armor.

* LogicalWeakness: She can only reflect attacks that she can see, so if an opponent comes up from behind her they can bypass it. It also needs to be an actual attack, meaning she can't stop someone from falling victim to an accidental injury.

* AttackReflector: Her Stand, Love is in Bloom, can reflect any attack Twilight can see coming, whether it's done to her or someone in her line of sight. However, one major drawback is that her Stand only reflects ''physical'' attacks, and the attacks have to be legitimate; accidents as well as poison and elemental attacks don't count. [[LoopholeAbuse She can get around this by looking at her attacker(s) instead]].

* LogicalWeakness: She can only reflect attacks that she can see, so if an opponent comes up from behind her they can bypass it. It also needs to be an actual attack, meaning she can't stop someone from falling victim to an accidental injury. That being said, she can [[LoopholeAbuse bypass this weakness]] by having only her attacker(s) in her line of sight.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Canon Twilight was born to Canterlot Unicorns and enrolled in Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. Her magical potential was discovered when she unexpectedly hatched a Dragon egg (with the hatchling being Spike, her lifelong friend and assistant), which led to her becoming the personal student of Princess Celestia herself. Here, her father, Night Light, was an AdventureArchaeologist who was good friends with George Joestar, Jonathan Joestar's father. After her father and mother died of illness, she was sent to live with the Joestars, her father having arranged it in case something happened to him. She also developed her Stand after scratching herself on the Arrow when she was five, and later learned Hamon under Master Tonpetty.

Her Stand, [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/34070629/chapters/84755062 Love is in Bloom]] (named after the song "Love is in Bloom" from the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' two-parter episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 A Canterlot Wedding]]", reflects any harm done either unto her or anyone within her line of sight back onto the attacker(s), leaving Twilight and/or her target completely unharmed. However, it only reflects legitimate attacks of a physical kind, and she must see the person who is attacking for her Stand to work.

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: In Battle Tendency, he ends up outliving his son, George Joestar II, when the latter died in World War I... officially. His son ''actually'' died because he was killed by a zombified superior officer, and Dio stole his body for himself, leaving the head behind.

* BareHandedBladeBlock: While fighting Tattoo, he's able to stop the latter from stabbing him in the liver by grabbing Tattoo's knife blade. He quickly follows up by kicking Tattoo in the groin after Tattoo states his intent to [[{{Fingore}} cut off a few fingers]].

The First [=JoJo=]. Jonathon Joestar was initially an ordinary yet wealthy young man until his father adopted Twilight Sparkle into the family, becoming her adoptive brother. With the adoption of Dio Brando, however, his life became topsy-turvy -- especially when Dio Brando reveals himself to be a sinister, untrustworthy man who is out to ruin both his and his family's life.\\\

** Due to changed circumstances and choices (notably, having [[SpannerInTheWorks Twilight Sparkle]] for an adoptive sister), Jonathon is spared the fate of having his body stolen by Dio as what happened in canon. Instead, it's his son, George Joestar II, whose body Dio steals for himself.
** Because Jonathon survived the events of Phantom Blood, he was able to live with Erina and help her raise a young Joseph after he lost both of his parents. Jonathon's presence also helped tame Joseph's worst flaws, making Joseph more mature and honorable whereas his canon counterpart was an impulsive JerkWithAHeartOfGold with an attitude problem.

* ThePowerOfTheSun: In his later years, Jonathan gets his very own Stand, Ra, which allows him to not only manipulate sunlight but also super-enhance his natural Hamon skills.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Canon Twilight was born to Canterlot Unicorns and enrolled in Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. Her magical potential was discovered when she unexpectedly hatched a Dragon egg (with the hatchling being Spike, her lifelong friend and assistant), which led to her becoming the personal student of Princess Celestia herself. Here, her father, Night Light, was an AdventureArchaeologist who was good friends with George Joestar, Jonathon Joestar's father. After her father and mother died of illness, she was sent to live with the Joestars, her father having arranged it in case something happened to him. She also developed her Stand after scratching herself on the Arrow when she was five, and later learned Hamon under Master Tonpetty.

* BigWhat: She utters this when Jonathon tells her and Speedwagon to leave the mansion, having come up with a risky plan to set the Joestar mansion on fire and burn a vampiric Dio with it. Fortunately, Jonathon survives, but needed to be hospitalized for severe burns.
* CrossoverRelatives: She's one of the main protagonists of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', but she ends up becoming the adoptive sister of Jonathon Joestar and Dio Brando.

* DisappearedDad: Justified; she lost her birth father, Nathaniel "Night Light" Twilight, to illness (which is later revealed to have been caused by getting scratched by a relic made from the Cape York meteorite, without having Stand potential). This led to her being adopted into the Joestar family since her birth father and George Joestar are old friends. Then she loses George, too, when he takes a fatal knife stab from Dio meant for Jonathon, devastating her.

* ParentalAbandonment: She lost both her birth father and mother to illness, and her official adoption into the Joestar family is what kicks off the events of the entire story. Then sometime after her adoption, she loses her adoptive father, George Joestar, to Dio when he takes a bullet meant for Jonathon.

* SpannerInTheWorks: She hits Dio's early attempts to discredit Jonathan ''hard''; notably, she prevents Dio from stealing Erina's SacredFirstKiss like what happened in canon. It's thanks to her interference that Jonathon quickly catches on that Dio is not to be trusted.

** Despite their mutual animosity, Dio starts respecting Twilight as well for her great wits and fighting ability. In ''Stardust Crusaders'', when an aged Jonathon informs him of Twilight's death decades prior, the news makes Dio genuinely somber for a moment.

* AdaptationalSexuality: Canon Speedwagon was AmbiguouslyGay with implications that he was romantically in love with Jonathon Joestar, and remains a bachelor for the rest of his life (which, in the 1800s, was a British euphemism for homosexuality) after Jonathon dies. Here, he finds LoveAtFirstSight when he meets Twilight during his canonical fight with Jonathon at Ogre Street, and later marries her.

* BadassNormal: Like his canon counterpart, he's able to deal with a few undead using heavy tools such as a sledgehammer. He's no match for stronger undead or vampires like Dio, however. He does ask Zeppeli if he can give him the ability to wield Hamon at one point, but Zeppeli refuses because he doesn't fit the criteria to become a Hamon user like Twilight and Jonathon did, pointing out that he's already useful against Dio's minions as he is now.

* DetectEvil: Like his canon counterpart, his time as a criminal in England's [[WretchedHive Ogre Street]] allowed him to develop the ability to judge a person's benevolence or malice by their smell alone. This later helped expose to Jonathon the true extent of Dio's evil and later determine the true nature of Lorenz Keel and SEELE.

* GoodCounterpart: To Dio Brando, like in canon. Like Dio, Speedwagon had a horrible childhood growing up in the streets of London, turning to crime to survive any way he can. However, instead of becoming an evil man like Dio did, seeing Jonathon and Twilight's noble hearts convinced Speedwagon to [[HeelFaceTurn turn a new leaf]] and defy the circumstances he was born into. This, combined with his ability to DetectEvil through smell, later allowed Speedwagon to see and expose Dio as the monster he truly is. And whereas Dio did horrific things to gain immortality and power, including transplanting his own head on the body of one of the Joestars, Speedwagon stayed a mortal human and died with his humanity intact.

* HeelFaceTurn: Like his canon counterpart, he still turns good and becomes a steadfast ally of the Joestars following his fight with Jonathon, helping them fight the vampiric Dio and his undead minions. Though here, it happened because he [[LoveAtFirstSight fell in love with Twilight]] in addition to seeing her and Jonathon's good hearts. His criminal gang follows shortly after, bringing Twilight to the hospital where Jonathon was recovering from burns and helping look after Erina until Jonathon and co. come back from defeating Dio.
* LoveAtFirstSight: During his fight with Jonathon and Twilight, after he is knocked to the ground by Jonathon, he takes one look at Twilight and ends up completely dazzled by her beauty. He realizes he has been beaten "in more ways than one", calls off his gang from attacking, and pulls a HeelFaceTurn.

* BashBrothers: During the final horde of undead he and Dire fight side-by-side, implying they are this trope.

* PassingTheTorch: Before he finally dies he passes the title of master to Dire.
* WarriorMonk: Like most of his disciples he's a Tibetan monk.

* CainAndAbel: He's the adoptive brother of Jonathon and Twilight, but he quickly becomes the "Cain" to their "Abel" thanks to them realizing early on that he's a bad man with sinister motives.

** Despite Twilight's frequent interference, he still succeeds in killing Danny quite gruesomely, [[LaserGuidedKarma earning Jonathon's ire and fists]].
** He also succeeds in stealing the body of a Joestar for himself after losing his original body. But instead of Jonathon's body, he steals the body of Jonathon's son, George Joestar II.

* LaserGuidedKarma: His canon act of trying to knee Jonathon's dog Danny in the face quickly backfires when Twilight [[AttackReflector reflects the damage onto him with her Stand]]. When he later kills Danny in the same way he did in canon, he attracts the ire of Jonathon, who beats him up before they are both caught and scolded by George Joestar for fighting in the parlor.

* TookALevelInBadass: When she first appears in Part 1 she doesn't have her canon ability of being able to manipulate the dead. She does gain that power during ''Stardust Crusaders'' after a century of training her Stand.

A Chinse apothecary who sold Dio the poison used to kill Dario Brando and nearly kill George Joestar. He's later turned into one of Dio's undead minions.

* {{Jobber}}: He basically winds up being used to show why Dire earns his memetic badass credentials from canon.
* TookALevelInDumbass: Much like canon, he winds up getting dumbed down when he becomes a zombie. Heck, he makes the mistake of suggesting Dio use Enya's blood to heal his wounds. Not only is Enya [[ImStandingRightHere standing within earshot of him]], but Dio reprimends him for even thinking he would want to kill the woman he loves just to heal some minor wounds.

* DyingAsYourself: Much like canon he ultimately dies with his humanity restored. He gratefully calls Jonathan and Twilight his "friends from 300 years later" as a result.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Unlike canon where he TookALevelInJerkass and stopped caring about Bruford, here we can see the comraderie the two knights had back when they were still human.

The infamous SerialKiller of legend. He becomes an servant of Dio and transforms into a zombie.

* AdaptationOriginConnection: She's the childhood friend of both Jonathon and Twilight, but she left them behind for seven years when she suddenly moved to India with her father. Turns out Erina's father, a doctor, was needed for his medical services, and she had to go since she had no other living family or extended relatives.
* ChildhoodFriends: She was a childhood friend of Twilight Sparkle, but were separated for seven years after she moved away from England to India with her father. Her seven years' absence was explained as her father had to attend an important expedition since his doctoring skills were required.

* HeroicRROD: Being Jonathon's childhood friend, she tended to him in the hospital by herself for ''three days'' after learning Jonathon was admitted for burn injuries. Naturally, going without rest leads to her fainting from exhaustion, causing Jonathon to catch her fall despite still having broken arms.

Jonathon Joestar's biological father, and the adoptive father of Dio Brando and Twilight Sparkle.

* IHaveNoSon: Once he learns of Dio's attempted poisoning and goals in stealing the Joestar Family fortune away, he sorrowfully lets Dio be arrested by the police who had arrived thanks to Speedwagon and Twilight's warnings. Unfortunately, things go horribly wrong when Jonathon is the one to arrest Dio, leading to him [[TakingTheBullet taking a knife-stab from Dio]] to [[PapaWolf protect Jonathon]].
* PapaWolf: He moves to protect Jonathon from being stabbed by Dio, who was trying to activate the Stone Mask with Jonathon's blood, by taking the hit himself. Unfortunately, Dio pierced his lung, making the stabbing fatal.

Jonathon Joestar's beloved pet Great Dane. Sadly becomes the first casualty in the series due to Dio's pettiness.

* CanineCompanion: Like his canon counterpart, he is Jonathon Joestar's beloved Great Dane. Jonathon loses him early on thanks to Dio Brando's cruelty.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: In addition to his canon role of showing just how much as a petty, evil {{Jerkass}} Dio is, Danny is also used to show some of the mechanics of Twilight's Stand when she uses it to reflect the damage from Dio trying to knee Danny right in his head.

* DidntSeeThatComing: He's blindsided by Jonathan grabbing his knife to stop it from peircing his liver, and again when Jonathan risks a few fingers just to deliver him a GroinAttack.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: He comes out of the terrfying experience Dio brings much more confidant, his family still alive, and with a new lease on life due to moving out to London.

* AttackReflector: Her Stand, Love is in Bloom, can reflect any attack Twilight can see coming, whether it's done to her or someone in her line of sight. However, one major drawback is that her Stand only reflects ''physical'' attacks, and it has to be legitimate; accidents as well as poison and elemental attacks don't count.
* LoopholeAbuse: She can get around this by looking at her attacker(s) instead.

* WorthyOpponent: [[FallenHero Tarkus]] comes to respect her as a fighter and a hero after she gives him the first satisfying fight he had in centuries since his death. When he dies, he dies happy and fulfilled.

Her Stand, [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/34070629/chapters/84755062 Love is in Bloom]] (named after the song "Love is in Bloom" from the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' two-parter episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 A Canterlot Wedding]]", reflects any harm done unto her back onto her attackers, leaving Twilight completely unharmed. However, it only reflects legitimate attacks of a physical kind, and she must see the person who is attacking her for her Stand to work.

* AttackReflector: Her Stand, Love is in Bloom, can reflect any attack Twilight can see coming, whether it's done to her or someone in her line of sight. However, one major drawback is that her Stand only reflects ''physical'' attacks, and it has to be legitimate; accidents as well as poison and elemental attacks don't count. [[LoopholeAbuse She can get around this by looking at her attacker(s) instead]].

* GenreSavvy: When she questions Enya about the nature of her Stand, Enya's response tells Twilight that the woman knows about the Stand arrow (yet) and she wisely says nothing about it.

* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: Thanks to Twilight's help he's able to deflect most of Dio's actions against him, save for his dog Danny's unfortunate demise.

Her Stand, [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/34070629/chapters/84755062 Love is in Bloom]] (named after a song from the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' two-parter episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 A Canterlot Wedding]]", reflects any harm done unto her back onto her attackers, leaving Twilight completely unharmed. However, it only reflects legitimate attacks of a physical kind, and she must see the person who is attacking her for her Stand to work.

His Stand, [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/34070629/chapters/84938116 Ra]], is named after the Ra, the Egyptian god of the sun.

* WrongGenreSavvy: He's surprised that Dio would hold up in a church, thinking such holy buildings should keep vampires away. Jonathan spells it out that OurVampiresAreDifferent, and that they can't rely on holy relics to kill Dio.

[[folder:Erina Pendleton]]
!!Erina Pendleton
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jojosbizarreadventurephantomblooderinapendolton2.png]]

Jonathan's childhood friend and later his wife. She's also a skilled doctor, something rare for women in Victorian England.

* AdaptationalExplanation: The reason why she moved to India for seven years in canon -- her father was also a doctor, and his work was needed in India for an important expedition. She had to go with him because her father was her only living parent.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: She's the childhood friend of both Jonathon and Twilight, but she left them behind for seven years when she suddenly moved to India with her father. Turns out Erina's father, a doctor, was needed for his medical services, and she had to go since she had no other living family or extended relatives.
* ChildhoodFriends: She was a childhood friend of Twilight Sparkle, but were separated for seven years after she moved away from England to India with her father. Her seven years' absence was explained as her father had to attend an important expedition since his doctoring skills were required.
* ForWantOfANail: She gets to share her SacredFirstKiss with Jonathon thanks to Twilight preventing Dio from stealing it out of spite, unlike in canon where Dio succeeded in humiliating her.
* HeroicRROD: Being Jonathon's childhood friend, she tended to him in the hospital by herself for ''three days'' after learning Jonathon was admitted for burn injuries. Naturally, going without rest leads to her fainting from exhaustion, causing Jonathon to catch her fall despite still having broken arms.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Subverted. She knows ''something'' dangerous requires Jonathan's full attention, but she's not aware of what. Jonathan did this deliberately for her safety.
* SacredFirstKiss: She's able to share her first kiss with Jonathan thanks to Twilight preventing Dio from stealing it to spite Jonathan, like what happened in canon.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: In the seven years she had been gone from England, she blossomed into a beautiful young woman, which Jonathan quickly notices after waking up in the hospital. However, she's quick to point out how much Jonathan grew as well.
* SupportPartyMember: In later adventures she becomes a part of the group as a medical professional, since she obviously no fighting skills or supernatural abilities.

[[folder:Tonpetty]]
!!Tonpetty
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jojosbizarreadventurephantombloodtompetty.png]]

A Hamon Master who taught Zeppeli, Dire, Straizo, and even Twilight. His gift for Hamon is so strong that he can even predict the fates of those he shakes hands with.

* CoolOldGuy: Not only is he a powerful OldMaster that is likely more than a century old, but he reassures Poco that there's a strong chance his sister is still alive even when the rest of Windknights Lot has been decimated.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: He delivers a strong blow to Dio using nothing but his ''tobacco pipe''.
* PassingTheTorch: Before he finally dies he passes the title of master to Dire.
* WarriorMonk: Like most of his disciples he's a Tibetan monk.

[[folder:Dire]]
!!Dire
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jojosbizarreadventurephantomblooddire.png]]

A longtime friend of Zeppeli's and a Hamon student under Master Tonpetty. He later becomes a Hamon Master in his own right in the years before World War II.

* BashBrothers: He and Zeppeli have been close friends for years and their chemistry becomes obvious as they deal with Dio's undead horde together.
* DidntSeeThatComing: He's shocked when Twilight reveals Straizo's fear of aging, something he never knew about even after decades of training with him.
* OhCrap: The revelation that there are actually dozens of stone masks (created by Kars as part of his experiments) makes him question if the one they destroyed is actually a different one from the stone mask that turned Zeppeli's father into a vampire.
* PassingTheTorch: He eventually passes the title of Hamon Master to Messina, just as Tonpetty passed it to him years earlier.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Instead of foolishly attacking Dio with his Thunder Cross Split Attack, resulting in his death due to Dio having the ability to freeze his blood and counter the attack, Dire instead uses the attack on Wang Chen, destroying him and allowing Dire to continue living past Phantom Blood.

[[folder:Straizo]]
!!Straizo
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jojosbizarreadventurephantombloodstraizo.png]]

A fellow student of Hamon under Master Tonpetty. He had actually taken the training hoping to stave off his aging.

* AntiVillain: He admits to Speedwagon that for all he admired Dio, he knew it was important that Dio be removed from the world and worked to aid that. He also had no intention of letting Santana awaken from his slumber, knowing how dangerous he would be when that happened.
* DidntSeeThatComing: He was unaware that stone mask vampires have no reflection in a mirror, since that wasn't something revealed during the fight with Dio.
* FaceHeelTurn: An ally of the Joestar team in Part 1, a WarmUpBoss for Joseph and Applejack in Part 2 when he attacks Speedwagon, kills several Hamon disciples, and tries to have anyone else who knows about the stone mask killed.
* GenreBlindness: Unlike Dire, Straizo rarely ever left Tibet and as a result winds up completely blindsided by Joseph and Applejack's more unconventional fighting techniques. He came expecting a simple fight against a fellow Hamon user, only to face a CombatPragmatist and a brute force farm girl.
* ParentsAsPeople: He raised Lisa Lisa like a parent should, to the point where she felt conflicting emotions after learning that Joseph, her own son, caused her adoptive father's death. Straizo also taught Lisa Lisa in Hamon to the point where she became one of the world's greatest Hamon masters.
* SecretlySelfish: He only took to Hamon training because he fears aging and was looking for anything that could prolong his youthful appearance. Hamon sufficed for a time, but when even that started to fail he chose to don one of the stone masks.
* WrongGenreSavvy: His only interaction with Stands up until that point had been Twilight's Love is in Bloom and Enya's Justice, neither of which were physically powerful. This leaves him unprepared for Applejack's To The Core, which is a far more powerful Stand with a longer projection range.

[[folder:Dio Brando]]
!!Dio Brando
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dio_adult.png]]

The main villain of Phantom Blood, Dio Brando is Jonathan's adoptive brother who aspires to take over the Joestar Family fortune for himself. When that fails, he decides to reject his humanity, using an ancient stone mask to turn himself into a vampire-like being.
----

[[folder:George Joestar]]
!!George Joestar
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jojosbizarreadventurephantombloodgeorgejoestari1.png]]

Jonathon Joestar's biological father, and the adoptive father of Dio Brando and Twilight Sparkle.

* AdaptationalBadass: In later flashbacks, we see the apple didn't fall far from the tree for Jonathan, as George was instrumental in helping to take down the corrupt judge Gallarion Marlon and the assassin Nemesis Sudo.
* CrossoverRelatives: He becomes the adoptive father of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]] after she was sent by her father and his best friend, Nathaniel "Night Light" Twilight, to go live with the Joestars.
* DoWrongRight: When he spots Jonathan and Dio fighting each other over Danny's death, he yells at them... For not choosing a time and place to settle the matter like gentlemen.
* IHaveNoSon: Once he learns of Dio's attempted poisoning and goals in stealing the Joestar Family fortune away, he sorrowfully lets Dio be arrested by the police who had arrived thanks to Speedwagon and Twilight's warnings. Unfortunately, things go horribly wrong when Jonathon is the one to arrest Dio, leading to him [[TakingTheBullet taking a knife-stab from Dio]] to [[PapaWolf protect Jonathon]].
* PapaWolf: He moves to protect Jonathon from being stabbed by Dio, who was trying to activate the Stone Mask with Jonathon's blood, by taking the hit himself. Unfortunately, Dio pierced his lung, making the stabbing fatal.
* RedundantRescue: He took a stab meant for Jonathan despite knowing Twilight could have reflected it with her Stand, simply because he wanted to atone for not being a better father.

[[folder:Danny]]
!!Danny
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jojosbizarreadventurephantomblooddanny.png]]

Jonathon Joestar's beloved pet Great Dane. Sadly becomes the first casualty in the series due to Dio's pettiness.

* CanineCompanion: Like his canon counterpart, he is Jonathon Joestar's beloved Great Dane. Jonathon loses him early on thanks to Dio Brando's cruelty.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Like his canon counterpart, he dies rather horribly -- Dio Brando locked him in a box which was thrown into an incinerator, and his maw was wrapped in steel wire so he doesn't make any noise until the groundskeeper turned the incinerator on. Worse, despite being freed, he suffered severe burns from being in the incinerator and later died from them.
* InSpiteOfANail: Despite Twilight's presence foiling Dio's early schemes, he still died a CruelAndUnusualDeath at the hands of Dio, who had him thrown into an incinerator with his maw wrapped in steel wire so he doesn't make any noise.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: In addition to his canon role of showing just how much as a petty, evil {{Jerkass}} Dio is, Danny is also used to show some of the mechanics of Twilight's Stand when she uses it to reflect the damage from Dio trying to knee Danny right in his head.

[[folder:Tattoo]]
!!Tattoo
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jojosbizarreadventurephantombloodtattoo.png]]

A member of Speedwagon's former gang from Ogre Street, named for his distinctive facial marking.

* TheBusCameBack: He shows up during the flashback chapters of ''Spirit Tracks'', still working for Speedwagon but now in a different capacity.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: He and the rest of the Ogre Street gang have pretty much accepted Twilight as a second boss following his defeat at Jonathan's hands.
* DidntSeeThatComing: He's blindsided by Jonathan grabbing his knife to stop it from peircing his liver, and again when Jonathan risks a few fingers just to deliver him a GroinAttack.
* HeelFaceTurn: A former criminal, he reformed after getting beaten by Jonathan and Twilight, taking up a job at a London tavern.

[[folder:Poco]]
!!Poco
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jojosbizarreadventurephantombloodpoco.png]]

A young boy who lives in Windknights Lot and winds up getting involved with the Joestar team.

* CowardlyLion: He's not a very brave boy, but steps up when it matters most to help Jonathan, hoping he can help keep his village from being destroyed.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: He comes out of the terrfying experience Dio brings much more confidant, his family still alive, and with a new lease on life due to moving out to London.
* SoleSurvivor: Subverted. His father and sister also survive the massacre at Windknights Lot, but they were the only three to survive.
* WrongGenreSavvy: He's surprised that Dio would hold up in a church, thinking such holy buildings should keep vampires away. Jonathan spells it out that OurVampiresAreDifferent, and that they can't rely on holy relics to kill Dio.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: He comes out of the terrfying experience Dio brings much more confidant, his family still alive, and with a new lease on life due to moving out to London.
* SoleSurvivor: Subverted. His father and sister also survive the massacre at Windknights Lot, but they were the only three to survive.
* WrongGenreSavvy: He's surprised that Dio would hold up in a church, thinking such holy buildings should keep vampires away. Jonathan spells it out that OurVampiresAreDifferent, and that they can't rely on holy relics to kill Dio.

!!George Joestar
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jojosbizarreadventurephantombloodgeorgejoestari1.png]]

Jonathon Joestar's biological father, and the adoptive father of Dio Brando and Twilight Sparkle.

* AdaptationalBadass: In later flashbacks, we see the apple didn't fall far from the tree for Jonathan, as George was instrumental in helping to take down the corrupt judge Gallarion Marlon and the assassin Nemesis Sudo.
* CrossoverRelatives: He becomes the adoptive father of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]] after she was sent by her father and his best friend, Nathaniel "Night Light" Twilight, to go live with the Joestars.
* DoWrongRight: When he spots Jonathan and Dio fighting each other over Danny's death, he yells at them... For not choosing a time and place to settle the matter like gentlemen.
* IHaveNoSon: Once he learns of Dio's attempted poisoning and goals in stealing the Joestar Family fortune away, he sorrowfully lets Dio be arrested by the police who had arrived thanks to Speedwagon and Twilight's warnings. Unfortunately, things go horribly wrong when Jonathon is the one to arrest Dio, leading to him [[TakingTheBullet taking a knife-stab from Dio]] to [[PapaWolf protect Jonathon]].
* PapaWolf: He moves to protect Jonathon from being stabbed by Dio, who was trying to activate the Stone Mask with Jonathon's blood, by taking the hit himself. Unfortunately, Dio pierced his lung, making the stabbing fatal.
* RedundantRescue: He took a stab meant for Jonathan despite knowing Twilight could have reflected it with her Stand, simply because he wanted to atone for not being a better father.

!!Danny
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jojosbizarreadventurephantomblooddanny.png]]

Jonathon Joestar's beloved pet Great Dane.

* CanineCompanion: Like his canon counterpart, he is Jonathon Joestar's beloved Great Dane. Jonathon loses him early on thanks to Dio Brando's cruelty.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Like his canon counterpart, he dies rather horribly -- Dio Brando locked him in a box which was thrown into an incinerator, and his maw was wrapped in steel wire so he doesn't make any noise until the groundskeeper turned the incinerator on. Worse, despite being freed, he suffered severe burns from being in the incinerator and later died from them.
* InSpiteOfANail: Despite Twilight's presence foiling Dio's early schemes, he still died a CruelAndUnusualDeath at the hands of Dio, who had him thrown into an incinerator with his maw wrapped in steel wire so he doesn't make any noise.

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jack_42.png]]

The infamous serial killer of legend. He becomes an ally of Dio and transforms into a vampire.

* CombatSadomasochist: Twilight reflecting his own blades back at him to damage him does nothing but amuse him. Heck, at one point he stabs ''himself'' through his cheek flesh while laughing maniacally, and thinks nothing of accidentally cutting off part of his flesh by accident just seconds prior.

* IHaveNoRegrets: Zigzagged. As he starts dying from Twilight's final attack, he does admit he wishes he could have gotten in one final chain-neck deathmatch. But his fight with Twilight was so satisfying he won't let that one regret keep him from crossing to the afterlife.
