* TimeSkip: ''[=JOJOlands=]'' takes place in the "Present Day", years after the events of ''[=JoJolion=]''. Judging from the mention of COVID by Dragona, this part takes place at keast 9 years after the previous part, probably more given how masks are no longer considered neccesary.

* TimeSkip: The part takes place years after the events of ''[=JoJolion=]''. Judging from the mention of COVID by Dragona, this part takes place no less than 9 years after the previous part.

* MsFanservice: Chapter 2 starts off with an undercover DEA agent dressed this way. She's wearing little more than a bikini and a cropped jacket, and the second panel of the first page focuses on her breasts.

Set in Hawaii during TheNewTwenties, 15-year-old Jodio Joestar has a dream: [[{{Greed}} to become filthy rich]]. He and his brother, Dragona Joestar, [[SiblingTeam act together]] as small-time gangsters, smuggling and dealing drugs at their high school to support their single mother.

* AttemptedRape: The first chapter begins with Jodio and Dragona getting pulled over by some {{Dirty Cop}}s, with one insistent on patting Dragona down as a cover for molestation, and the other cop enabling his groping. It gets even worse when the cop feels Dragona's penis after assuming they were a girl and saying that [[DepravedBisexual it makes things even better]], with him only being stopped by Jodio's interference using November Rain, to which the other cop was ready to shoot Jodio if he didn't sit back and let his brother get molested.

* CallBack: Jodio and Dragona are siblings with completely different skin tones, one of them AmbiguouslyBrown and are of (implied) mixed parenthood -- just like [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Pucci and Weather Report]].

* DepravedBisexual: When a cop feels up the thong of Dragona's bikini while patting him down, he feels their genitals after previously assuming him to be a girl, and claims that this has, "just gotten better." He also threatens to rape Jodio in the second chapter.

* FacialHorror: Dragona uses Smooth Operators to deform the face of the officer who assaulted him, dragging his eyes to the side of his head.

* MrFanservice: Dragona is very attractive and wears revealing outfits, including a bikini, in the first chapter. His feminine appearance makes him initially seem like a MsFanservice.

* PervyPatdown: One of the cops sexually assaults Dragona during the search. Initially assuming them to be female, finding out they have a penis [[DepravedBisexual makes him all the more happier with it.]]

* SiblingTeam: Jodio and his older brother Dragona work together to commit crimes.

* TerrifiedOfGerms: Dragona doesn't like the cop getting all up in his face, because he's scared that he might catch UsefulNotes/{{COVID|19Pandemic}}.

* ProductDisplacement: Jodio is shown playing on a UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch in chapter 2, as one can discern by its segmented assembly and the volume and power buttons being placed on the top left side of the screen. The actual logo for the Switch's back side is never drawn, as it's either placed outside the panel or only seen from a distance where that detail is no longer visible.

* BlackAndGrayMorality: Jodio is a complete [[SociopathicHero sociopath]] who's willing to sell drugs to kids to get rich. Yet, some of the people he's up against are even worse than him.

* GoodCounterpart: The Lava Rocks' power of making wealth 'flow' to the ones who hold them through inticrate circumstances can be seen as a significantly more positive version of the Milagro Man curse from the previous part.

-->'''[[Manga/SteelBallRun Johnny]]''': This story is the tale of me starting to walk...
-->'''[[Manga/JoJolion Yasuho]]''': This is a story about breaking a curse...
-->'''Jodio''': [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers This is the story of me getting filthy rich.]]

->''"This is a story about how a boy got filthy rich in the sub-tropical islands. Not humble enough for you? Too bad... 'Cause I'm '''definitely''' gonna get my hands on it."''

* AnimateInanimateObject: Implied to be the case with [[spoiler:the diamond Jodio and the others are tasked with stealing from Rohan. Every time Dragona manages to get his hands on it, the diamond somehow escapes him every time, first by falling out from his backpack, then by slipping out of his hands when he has a first grip, and perhaps most jarringly found its way inside one of Rohan's coffee mugs. It later turns out that the diamond, as well as the other valuables the crew stole, are attracted to the lava rock Rohan gave Jodio]].

* ClingyMcGuffin: An inversion with [[spoiler:the diamond. No matter where Dragona puts it or how firm he holds it, the diamond keeps escaping him]].

* PervyPatdown: One of the cops sexually assaults Dragona during the search.

* ContinuityNod:
** The introduction to Stands at the start of the first chapter features many Stands from throughout the series, including Soft & Wet, Sex Pistols, Star Platinum, Tusk, Whitesnake, Gold Experience, Black Sabbath, Echoes, [=D4C=], Ebony Devil, The World, Ball Breaker, Killer Queen, and Stone Free.
** Jodio's introduction has the phrase "Kono Jodio Joestar ga......" (この『ジョディオ・ジョースター』が......), a possible reference to DIO's infamous "Kono Dio da!" line from ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Phantom Blood]]''.

* InternalReveal: Those who have been following ''[=JoJo=]'' know that Rohan is a Stand user. Jodio only finds out in Chapter 3 after Rohan detects one of the cactus spines left behind from November Rain, which he wouldn't have been able to see unless he was a user.

** Dragona marks the first time in the series in which a mainline [=JoJo=] has a sibling introduced in their part.[[note]]Josuke is Holly Kujo's half-brother, introduced after Part 3, and Giorno's three half-brothers are introduced after Part 5.[[/note]] This is especially notable for how unique Dragona is on top of that -- not only are they deeply tanned (where Jodio is quite pale), but they're also gender nonconforming, with fashion sense and implants that make them look like a woman, which marks the first time in the series in which a GNC character is a Joestar.

** Dragona is the Fixer, with their multi-purpose Stand allowing them to commit near-perfect forgery as well as having combat applications. Their stand also makes them the Safe-Cracker, since their stand can pull locks and she uses this to break in to a house and to open a locked safe.
** Jodio is the New Kid, as the one with the least experience in the group and thus doesn't have much say in the group's activities. He's also the Muscle, as November Rain is capable of attacking with very powerful raindrops.

* EarAche: Dragona pulls on Paco's ear after catching him stealing from customers at Iko Iko.

* {{Pyromaniac}}: Jodio's solution of erasing the criminal records the police have on him and Dragona is to set the police car on fire.

** A panel from chapter 3 bears resemblance to the [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/two-soyjaks-pointing pointing soyjak meme.]]

One day, school principal and local mob boss [[TheDon Meryl May Qi]] gives the duo a new order; a lone Japanese tourist vacationing to Hawaii happens to own a natural blue diamond worth millions of dollars. Together with fellow Stand users Paco Laburantes and Usagi Aloha'oe, [[TheCaper the four must break into the tourist's villa and steal the precious gem]]. Unfortunately, however, their job may not be as easy as it seems...

''The [=JOJOLands=]'' is set within the same continuity as ''Steel Ball Run'' and ''[=JoJolion=]'', taking place about a decade after the events of the latter. Just as the aforementioned Parts were reimaginings of ''Phantom Blood'', ''Battle Tendency'', and ''Stardust Crusaders'', and ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' respectively, Part 9 takes many cues from ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]'', with morally dubious protagonists working within a criminal organization to further their own goals.

* ConcealingCanvas: In their heist for the diamond, Dragona believes it's hidden behind something. Usage quickly cuts up a nearby painting only to find nothing. They later find the safe hidden behind a bookcase.
