History Fanfic / JoJosBizarreAdventurePartNineStairwayToHeaven

* ActionGirl: Any girl shown in the part, regardless of personal combat prowess, is capable of fighting and most of the time outwitting their opponents in order to defeat them in unorthodox ways. Specific examples include all of the Pussycat Dolls, Felixa, Jamezella, Barneladi, Bom-Tu-Bom, and Joylne Cujoh.

* {{Meganekko}}: Joan Joestar, the rest of the Pussycat Dolls, and Felixa Bernared.

[[caption-width-right:350: All of the major characters of the first arc alone [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters and that's even getting into the rest of the world]]]]

* BaldOfEvil: Justiz Beliver/[[spoiler: Daze Zepelli]] has a noticeable bald spot on his head, being a pragmatic, but ultimately tyrannical despot that shuts down entire cities if they don't give him respect. [[spoiler:Ironically, when he achieves his StoryBreakerPower of Light-Bringer, he gains significant RapunzelHair- leading to a widow's peak, as well as becoming incredibly obnoxious and losing what little redeeming qualities he had in the first place.]]

** While animal Stand users appeared in previous parts, there are now PettingZooPeople with Stands.

** Averted with the Brando family of the new continuity, while Diego [[SparedByAdaptation having been miraculously revived by the Holy Corpse]] had been a rival to Johnny Joestar, he never felt the same animosity that his alternative counterpart [[spoiler: both of them]] did towards the bloodline. The family would then settle for an AloofAlly role following in the 2000 years the 2010s while other [[BigBad major villains]] took on the role.

* SanitySlippage: Justiz Beliver immediately undergoes this as he [[spoiler: evolves Trick Of the Light into Lightbringer. He loses his reserved personality to act more obnoxious and vain, changing his goal from exploiting the Ocean Men in order to steal their resources to fuel his products to maintain the world's sustainability into being a GodhoodSeeker, willing to let the world be devoured by the Ocean Men as long as he rules over the remainders of humanity. It's heavily implied the Ocean Man Ghostwriter A did it in order to make him an easier target to take down.]]

* {{Megane}}: Joshua Joestar, notably [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable that's not the first Joestar to need glasses]], is the first male Joestar to consistently bespectacled his entire life.

* OutsideGenreFoe: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure while having many weird elements such as vampires, [[FightingSpirit psychic manifestations with esoteric powers that allow virtually anything to have the power]], ancient super-vampires, a humanlike race of silicon beings, etc- had been generally grounded in reality. [[spoiler: The Ocean Men a godlike race of [[EldritchAbomination extra-dimensional beings from another plane of existence]] who operate on a power system so alien that the usual way of fighting is ineffectual]].

** [[StartVillain Erean Davis Floyd]], the mother of [[TheBully Bar, Rett, and Syd who initially pester Joshua]] and head of a company that denies insurance to the poor and chances for them to rank higher in society, lobotomizing the employees that pester her, making life difficult for Joan Joestar, and engaging in subtle abuse to her sons through favoritism. In the grand scheme of thing, she's only a threat due to her connections to Justiz's cabal, none of the employees have Stands powerful enough to fight back, and the fact that Joan [[WorfHadTheFlu Joan Joestar lacked her overwhelming Stand due to Joshua's pregnancy seemingly robbing her of this power]]- which would normally make her a monstrous person, but a nuisance to anyone competent. Once her antics reach the point that rumors start to spread, Justiz and even Erean's own husband plan to ditch her even if she didn't get subjected to a newly empowered Joan Joestar with an evolution to her already powerful Stand and left at the mercy of Yoshikage Kira who targeted for her lovely hands.

* BigBadWannabe: Justiz Beliver is ultimately this in spite of his influence in the first half of the story, barely being able to cooperate with [[spoiler: DIO and the others of the Brando lineage]] enough so they don't ruin his plans. He's also a figurehead [[spoiler: needed by the Ocean Men to achieve access to the Jojoverse world in order to conquer it.]]

** Yoshikage Kira, Diavolo, and Pucci are retroactively all descendants of the Brando lineage having scoured the earth to expand their lineage, in Diavolo's case [[BodySurf the means were much more]] [[DemonicPossession unusual]] [[GrandTheft than initially]] [[MysticalPregnancy assumed]].
