Four testicles
- Part 8 Josuke has 4 testicles. How is he not constantly aggressive and horny?
- Is that necessarily how that would work? Apparently the removal of one testicle doesn't appreciably decrease libido. But at any rate, Josuke did seem a little too excited during his fight with Daiya.
Kira not being effected by the rock disease
- The Kira of this universe is related to the Higashikata family. How did he not develop the same rock disease that every other first-born Higashikata does?
- It could be that the rock disease only affects people who are directly related to the Higashikata family - in other words, someone who's a cousin (a category which Kira falls under) wouldn't be affected.
- As it turns out, the curse only seems to affect the females in the Joestar family, unlike the Higashikata family.
- The Joestar branch of the family descends from Rina Higashikata who suffered from the late-developing female form of the curse, with no evidence that George II or Joseph suffered at all from the effects of the curse considering they lived to have several children. It could be that when the curse got transferred to George II and then removed by Johnny, the male version of the curse was completely eliminated from the Joestar family, but made them carriers of the female version of the curse. The Higashikata branch of the family still has both forms of the curse in their bloodline, which means that at some point Hato may be affected as well, seeing as Rina was the 2nd child of her generation and the younger sister of Norisuke II who would have also been affected by the curse.
Where is Joseph?
- This Troper is having a bit of a Headscratcher and Fridge Horror: In Stardust Crusaders, Joseph dropped everything when his daughter called for help, when he feared she was dying he trotted the globe to save her. Which brings me to my question: Why hasn't he appeared yet? Is he dead, missing, or something worse?
- Joseph most likely was never born. And if he was born he was a completely different person. Steel Ball Run is essentially the equivalent of Phantom Blood and Johnny is the equivalent of Jonathan. And Johnny was a completely different person from Jonathan. Far from The Paragon whose nobility would go on to inspire heroes even generations later even after Character Development. If there was a Joseph he was most likely a very different person and a much less heroic person.
- Joseph was born, according to the book in Norisuke's study. The Joestar bloodline stayed the exact same up until Holly, and George Joestar II even married a woman named Elizabeth, which was Lisa Lisa's real name. What most likely happened is that Joseph was already dead of old age in this timeline, as Holly is also fairly older than her original counterpart when we met her.
- Fairly likely. It’s hinted that Joseph’s Ripple training kept him fit and strong in the original timeline. While Joseph slacked off, and therefore aged, it makes sense he could live as long as he did. Even if the Spin had similar effects (which it probably doesn’t considering the difference in intended use), then even if SBR!Joseph did know of the Spin, it wouldn’t extend his life. He’s either dead of old age, or too weak to travel and stuck in New York.
- Well, since we see SBR!Joseph in chapter 109 and 110. .yeah he's probably too weak to travel
- Joseph most likely was never born. And if he was born he was a completely different person. Steel Ball Run is essentially the equivalent of Phantom Blood and Johnny is the equivalent of Jonathan. And Johnny was a completely different person from Jonathan. Far from The Paragon whose nobility would go on to inspire heroes even generations later even after Character Development. If there was a Joseph he was most likely a very different person and a much less heroic person.
A.Phex Brothers and Rock Human Siblings
- Considering what we learned in Chapter 99 about Rock Human infancy and reproduction, how the hell do siblings technically even happen? I normally wouldn't have thought of this, but considering there are twin brothers canonically in the story, how do they even work? Would they grow up as twin parasites in the same hive?
- Aside from Retcon, it could be they were conjoined twins that were forced to work together to survive, and separated after maturation. It would explain their ability to work together, which seems to be startlingly rare for Rock Men. It could be they see the other as an extension of themselves. Or something like that.
Tooru's Age and Wonder Of U's Appearance
- So, Chapter 102 revealed that Wonder of U took on the identity of Satoru Akefu ten years prior to the start of the story. Not only is Yasuho either 9 or 10 years old, but the real Satoru is explicitly 79 years old. The problem here is that when Wonder Of U appeared in the Mamezuku orchad when Rai was very young he had the exact same appearance as in the present, and that was WAY earlier than 10 years ago. How is that possible without it being a Plot Hole?
- A possible explanation could be that Wonder of U cannot specifically disguise itself as a person, but rather just has a human form that looks like an old man. This also explains Wonder of U-Akefu looking quite different from the Satoru Akefu we see Yasuho find for Tooru on the internet in Chapter 102.
How did Daiya fake the wound on her leg?
- Nowhere in any description of California King Bed's abilities is it implied that it can create visual illusions; it is only ever stated that it can steal people's memories.
