History Heartwarming / JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood

** Speedwagon's speech really speaks volumes of the Joestars that come after Jonathan. Sure, [[Manga/BattleTendency most]] of [[Manga/StardustCrusaders them]] don't [[PragmaticHero act]] like [[JapaneseDelinquents gentlemen]], [[Manga/DiamondIsUnbreakable one]] has [[BerserkButton temperament issues]] regarding their hair, [[Manga/VentoAureo another]] has plans to join and reform the Italian Mafia, and one doesn't even act like a [[Manga/StoneOcean proper lady]], but at their core, they have inherited Jonathan's compassion, humility, and strive for justice, in one way or another.

* Jonathan's HeroicSacrifice is just as heartwarming as it is tragic. If not for that, Erina and Lisa Lisa would have died, The other [=JoJos=] would have never been born ([[spoiler:except [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureVentoAureo Giorno]] and [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean DIO's other sons]]]]), and the entire series would have ended then and there. Dio may have a lasting impact on the series, but so does Jonathan.

* Although it was momentary, the TimeSkip after their childhood was very sweet to see, that Jonathan grew up strong and smart, getting past his past grief, and in the same time, it seemed that Dio made amends and they become steadfast brothers as they win their final rugby match for their colleges together. Of course, it all goes to hell when Dio reveals in monologue that he's still the same slimebag he was in child (and Jonathan is still [[ProperlyParanoid rightfully suspicious]] of him despite feeling bad about it) but still, the rugby match was an effective heartwarming scene to lure the audience into a momentary sense of security that the two bitter brothers seemingly making amends and walking to their own bright future.

** The reason Jonathan faced Speedwagon in the first place, and even got a deep injury on his arm and bone? He went to the forbidden alleys of London. The reason he did this? [[BigDamnHeroes To prove Dio was poisoning his father and save him]]. It is his love for his father what pushed Jonathan to go this far and endure all the pain.

--> '''Speedwagon''': You're wrong! All that was good in that man, he passed along to Jonathan! Every bit of it! You can be sure [=JoJo's=] gonna live an upright life using what his father gave him! Rich folks are rubbish...watching them flounce about, I wanna throw the whole lot of them into the Thames...but not the Joestars...they're heroic, and merciful, and just...the whole damn lot are giants among men!"

* It's subtle, but Dio has shown that he has (or felt) love, or at least affection, [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas towards his mother]]. When confronted by Jotaro about his past and about him [[SelfMadeOrphan killing Dario Brando, his father]], Dio angrily claims that [[AbusiveParents Dario]] sent his mother to the grave (when he could have just mentioned how he abused him), and even reacted with angry ManlyTears when his father ordered him to sell his mother's dress for booze because "he had no use for some dead woman's clothes". Also, later on, when coming across two JerkAss beggars, he simply went on his way without caring for them...[[YourMom until they insulted his mother]]. [[BerserkButton That's]] when he attacked them and [[DisproportionateRetribution used one to test the mask]].

** The look of shock and then sadness on his face when he realizes that [[spoiler:Jonathan has died]] says that Dio was far more human than he would admit.

* [[spoiler: Jonathan's HeroicSacrifice]] is just as heartwarming as it is tragic. If not for that, Erina and [[spoiler: Lisa Lisa]] would have died, The other [=JoJos=] would have never been born, and the entire series would have ended then and there.

* Danny and Jonathan's relationship and backstory is full of this. They started off on the wrong foot, with Danny biting Jonathan and the latter being scared of him and teasing him as a result. However, when young Jonathan was about to drown, Danny rescued him. Since then they became great friends, and Jonathan has sometimes felt like he was his only pal. [[spoiler: Obviously this is just meant to make it [[GutPunch hit even harder]] when Dio burns Danny, but even then, [[TearJerker this and Jonathan's reaction]] comes to show how much Danny meant to him.]]
** A dog that started off as a jerk towards a guy but ended up saving his life [[spoiler: and had a very tragic death from a vampire]]? [[JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Doesn't that ring a bell?]]

--> Wang-Chan!! '''I will ''not'' tolerate you humiliating [=Jojo=]!!''' For being able to reduce me to this state, I respect him more than ''anyone'' in this world. Now show him the respect he deserves, and give him a quick, ''painless, and dignified'' death. '''Have I made myself clear?!!''
