History Fanfic / JoJoNewUniverse

* SuckySchool: Defied in this setting. [[Franchise/{{Danganronpa}} Hope's Peak Academy]] was founded by Izuru Kamukura with the purpose of fostering natural talent in students, but the Steering Committee later made it the center of the "Ultimate Hope" project, which would have turned any chosen student into TheAce at the cost of [[DeathOfPersonality destroying their personality]]. Even the students of Hope's Peak Academy are initially apathetic to learning once they realized the school only cared about fostering talents. Thanks to Kakyoin, a [[CrossoverRelatives maternal descendant of the school's founder]], Hope's Peak Academy is put under the Speedwagon Foundation's educational jurisdiction, [[PointOfDivergence averting much tragedy and dysfunction]]. Ironically, the students of ''JJNU''[='s=] Hope's Peak Academy encounter surviving students of the ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'' timeline, who are understandably traumatized by what they went through.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', the Mane Six are all Ponies, though what Pony tribe they were part of depended on the individual. Twilight Sparkle in particular was a Unicorn-turned-[[WingedUnicorn Alicorn]], the living sum of all three Pony tribes. Here, they're all humans with [[AdaptationalSuperpowerChange the power to use Stands]].

** As in canon, Robert E.O. Speedwagon of the ''Phantom Blood'' arc was never able to wield Hamon like Jonathon or Twilight Sparkle. He still made up for this by helping his allies using both his trusty sledgehammer and [[DetectEvil his ability to detect a person's inner evil by smell]].

* HistoricalDomainSuperperson: In ''Jojolion'', it's revealed that various historical figures, such as UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington, UsefulNotes/TokugawaIeyasu, UsefulNotes/GenghisKhan, UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison, UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill, and Creator/AleisterCrowley were Stand users (of which only Crowley's Stand, The Book of Love, is known). It's noted that history would be painted in a different light if people publicly knew about this.
* InvisibleToNormals: As in ''[=JoJo=]'' canon, Stands in general are this, but in canon they can only be seen by other Stand users, no ifs, ands, or buts. In this story, anyone with a supernatural affinity can see Stands, though the Stands themselves appear transparent unless the people looking at them are Stand users themselves.

** ''A Gentleman, A Thief, A King, And A Hero'' is basically a retelling of Creator/TheInfamousMan's ''Fanfic/JustAnUnorthodoxThief'', with both starring Franchise/LupinIII in the role of Assassin and Servant of Kirei Kotomine with the Court of Owls being the main antagonists. While the original fanfic more or less kept the fairly dark tone of Literature/FateZero even with Lupin's involvement, sparing only a few characters their canon fates while leaving others to still suffer and die in other ways, the involvement of characters from other properties in the ''[=JoJo=] New Universe'' lead to all but the most villainous characters achieving a happy ending, with the exception of Tokiomi, who instead gets to pull a RedemptionEqualsDeath rather than die unceremoniously or live forever a disgrace.

* PsychicPowers: Throughout the series, the Stands have been compared to psychic powers, with their various powers resembling some form of [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]] or ESP. This is mostly due to the [[InvisibleTONormals nature]] of Stands, which means only Stand users can fully see them (non-Stand users with supernatural affinity can see Stands as well, but the Stands themselves look transparent to them). Though some people like Avdol and Yasuhiro do have legitimate clairvoyance separate from their Stands, and some Stands like Nagito's Miracles and Haru's Excite do grant psychic powers as their ability.

Thanks to Kakyoin, a [[CrossoverRelatives maternal descendant of the school's founder]], Hope's Peak Academy is put under the Speedwagon Foundation's educational jurisdiction, [[PointOfDivergence averting much tragedy and dysfunction]] and transforming its bad reputation into a positive one. Ironically, the students of ''JJNU''[='s=] Hope's Peak Academy encounter surviving students of the ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'' timeline, who are understandably traumatized by what they went through.

** ''Golden Wind'': Giorno enforces this trope. While he does see the Joestar clan as his family, he knows that having any member of said clan enter Italy is only going to make it harder to find and defeat Diavolo, so he requests Koichi not call in help from outside.

** ''Cruel Angel's Thesis'': Shinji does get training from Josuke, and at one point Joseph fights a mech controlled by a member of SEELE, but given the main conflict involves fighting giant monsters Shinji doesn't really get much help from the other Joestars.

* UpTheRealRabbitHole: Downplayed in regards to the alter verse, which is considered a pocket reality between the main verse and any true alternate universes. While the validity of this claim is never brought up, what is acknowledged is that neither the main verse nor the alter verse are any more real than the other.

* WorldOfBadass: Just like the ''Franchise/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' series, the world of ''[=JoJo=] New Universe'' is full of badasses. Except here, the badass factor is amped up due to various characters being [[AdaptationalBadass made stronger]] and more competent, while franchises like ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' and ''Franchise/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' are made LighterAndSofter due to people making more rational decisions. In addition, almost everyone is a Stand user of some kind, and they are almost always drawn to each other by fate. If someone happens to be a Stand user, likely they would end up becoming a badass by the end of whatever they went through.
** Even if they don't somehow possess a Stand, they can still wind up badass. They might be a mage with incredible magical powers. They might be a Hamon user with the power to destroy the undead. Hell, they might just possess a CharlesAtlasSuperpower. The world of ''[=JoJo=] New Universe'' has no shortage of heroes with awesome powers.

* CrossoverCouple: This occurs frequently due to the series being a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover. One of the most notable examples is the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePony Mane Six]], who married various characters from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', including succeeding generations of the [[BadassFamily Joestar Family]] -- which served to [[ForWantOfANail derail the entire canon plot]].

* ForWantOfANail: Many "Nails" occur throughout the series thanks to circumstances and choices being changed.
** The fanfic series starts with Jonathon Joestar of ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Phantom Blood]]'' gaining an adoptive sister in [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]] in addition to his canonical adoptive brother, Dio Brando/DIO. Thanks to Twilight's intellect and skills (one of which is a Stand, which wouldn't be introduced until ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'' canonically), Jonathon becomes smarter and more powerful much earlier than his canon counterpart, setting the plot in motion.
** Noriaki Kakyoin survives past ''Stardust Crusaders'' thanks to Fluttershy protecting him from what would've been a fatal blow from DIO. Because of his survival, the plot of ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' is completely derailed because Kakyoin is able to wrest control of Hope's Peak Academy away from the Steering Committee and become its administrator with help from the Speedwagon Foundation. This all but ensures that the project that created [[FallenHero Izuru Kamukura]] (and therefore the Killing Games) would never come to fruition, and the students would become massively well-adjusted due to being put in a much healthier learning environment.

** ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' is one of the most famous {{Genre Deconstruction}}s of the SuperRobotGenre, with all of the characters being psychologically broken in some way, the protagonists being [[{{Tykebomb}} living weapons]] and [[TheAntichrist potential harbingers of the apocalypse]], and the {{Humongous Mecha}}s being living {{Soul Jar}}s for the pilots' mothers. The enemies the pilots fight are extremely powerful {{Angelic Abomination}}s, with one of them having the power to outright inflict MindRape. The ''Cruel Angel's Thesis'' arc in ''[=JoJo=] New Universe'' serves as a {{Reconstruction}} of ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' itself, with the pilots having better families, Yui's canon fate being part of a plan by SEELE that Gendo [[SpannerInTheWorks ruined]] thanks to [[ForWantOfANail a certain alien's advice]], and everyone being much more well-adjusted compared to their canon selves.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The canonical names of the characters from ''WesternAnimation/MyLIttlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' are just nicknames everyone calls them by in this universe.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The casts of each part are even more stacked than they were originally thanks to the crossover element of the fanfic adding even more characters. And several of those characters show up in other parts as well.

* {{Reconstruction}}: Cruel Angel's Thesis basically rebuilds the tropes ''Manga/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' broke down.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: DIO's formula for creating a Heaven Stand mentioned that one point the original Stand must be destroyed. Every time we see a Stand go Requiem (Silver Chariot, Gold Experience, and W Boiled Xtreme), there's an element of destruction as the Stand reaches its new state. Silver Chariot literally melts, Gold Experience's skin breaks apart, and W Boiled Xtreme's chains, feathers, and mask are seen falling away from it as it shoots into the sky. Sure enough, Requiem is just an intermediary stage allowing a Stand the possibility of turning into a Heaven Stand.

Hell, they might just possess a CharlesAtlasSuperpower. The world of ''[=JoJo=] New Universe'' has no shortage of heroes.

** The Zeppeli Family has served as allies and/or mentors of the Joestars, starting with Phantom Blood's William Zeppeli. Unlike canon, where the Zeppelis tend to be very short-lived and often die to give incentive for the Joestars to fight on, the changed setting means the Zeppelis get to establish more generations, leading to the birth of the likes of Hol Horse, Gyro Zeppeli, and Rarita "Rarity" Zeppeli. The Zeppelis also contain powerful Hamon and Stand users. And while Hol Horse [[BlackSheep starts off as a hired mercenary and assassin for DIO]], a series of events leads to him [[HeelFaceTurn joining the heroes and playing a important role in DIO's death]] upon realizing how bad his boss truly is.
