Because it wouldn't be shocking if the ancient mad scientist Pillar Man was somehow involved in the very concept of Shadows. Perhaps rather than creating the Stone Mask, Kars hoped to become a perfect being by mastering all aspects of the subconscious. Unfortunately, he still needed the Red Stone of Aja, thus leading to this universe's version of ''Battle Tendency''.

* Or perhaps Dio is Nyarlathotep himself, created by the universal reboot. Due to Pucci's belief that he was acting on God's will, the universal energies caused by the Big Bang accommodated that belief, but Pucci's definition of God was so skewered that it created Nyarlathotep. Nyarlathotep had Dio's memories and desires, and his desire to see mankind destroyed is due to being dissatisfied that this new universe is not like the one he planned with Pucci. He also could be manipulating Izanami from where he was banished, specifically to punish the 'perversion' of Jonathan before having her kill humanity.

[[WMG: Gyro Zeppeli and Diego Brando will make an appearance sometime in the story.]]

Both characters were intrinsically important to Johnny's growth as a person in SBR. Gyro especially. Even with the IT, who's to say that Gyro won't show and somehow become Johnny's best friend? (Sorry Yosuke, but Gyro kind of has you beat in being a total bro). Diego because as an alternate to Jonathan, Johnny's going to need his own version of Dio to make his life hell in some way, shape, or form.

* As for the Charming Prince being Silver Chariot, all of the Shadows in the TV World are made out of mankinds repressed feelings and Igor's knowledge of Pucci's antics and Shadow Yosuke's Winds of Oblivion/Holy SAndstorm make it obvious that this is a rebooted universe, maybe some of the previous universes collective unconscious still exists affecting the TV World leading to the Charming Prince to take Silver Chariot's form?

Jonathan being reborn into modern-day Japan would be stretching things a bit, but as per the rules of Made in Heaven, everyone from the previous universe should be in this new universe in one way or another. So, Joseph is Johnny's grandfather who married Suzie Q. She bore two children, a pair of twins: Holly and George Joestar after Joseph's father who died in WWII. Holly went off and married a Japanese man named Yoshiteru Kira, giving birth to Yoshikage Kira who here is Johnny's very distant cousin thanks to rumors of his sociopathy. George however married to Johnny's mother and Dojima's sister, who gave birth to Johnny and Nicholas. Thus preserving the Joestar line through several counterparts in this new universe, the only exceptions being this universe's Josuke, Giorno, and Jolyne's counterparts.

[[WMG: Nyx and Izanami will turn out to have been nothing more than pawns of HIM, Dio!]]

Because it is a immutable, unbreakable, cosmic law (along with a Zepelli dying) that every BigBad will have to play second fiddle to Dio in the [=JoJo=]-verse, even when he's dead. Heck, Nyarlathotep might be his reincarnation. It would make way too much sense.

** A crazier one is if he's Whamuu's counterpart, the reason why Shadow Yosuke was able to use the Holy Sandstorm was because he ''was'' Whamuu in a past life and his Shadow unwittingly drew from his past life's memories. The reason why Yosuke's so different from Whamuu is because he was raised by a normal family and not a megalomaniac like Kars. On top of that, Jiraiya's powers are oddly similar to Whamuu's, don't you think?



For all intents and purposes, this takes place during Johnny's youth much like how the first few chapter of Phantom Blood took place when Jonathan was a boy. However unlike Jonathan, Johnny is not seeking out to make friends yet is drawing closer to people and creating TrueCompanions out of the future members of the IT.

[[WMG: The original Giorno is still alive.]]

Because Gold Experience Requiem protected him like many fans theorized, and he's still actively fighting evil. As more Persona users develop in Inaba his Stand will lead him to them. Then, he'll meet Johnny and try to become a father figure or mentor figure to him to make up for what his dad did to the original Jonathan. His Arcana will be The World for {{Irony}} and because he's completed his CharacterDevelopment by ''Persona'' standards, he could even be a major stockholder for the Speedwagon Foundation and the Kirijo Group. Supporting this theory TIM has stated on forums that he wished that Giorno had his character fleshed out more and that he thinks Part 9 will have Giorno be the main protagonist again. Why would he waste the chance to do it himself?

[[WMG: Persona and Stands are the same thing, only with different names.]]

In canon, there have been shown multiple ways to get a Stand (Ripple: Theorized and supported due to the Spin), special connection to another Stand user (DIO and the Joestar's), being born with one, (Avdol, Kakyoin, Polneraff, Jesus), the Bow and Arrow (To many to list), the Corpse Parts (Everyone in ''Steel Ball Run''), and the Wall Eyes ([=Jojolion=]]). What if facing your Shadow is just another method of gaining your Stand and due to said method the Stand works differently than normal (Based on mythology instead of Arcana, music, or fabulous fashion, plus the ability to switch due to the Wild Card). Supported by canon by the differences between 'normal' Stands and Corpse Parts Stands and that Persona and Stands are manifested by projecting your FightingSpirit and the Persona have been shown to work ''exactly'' like Stands in this fic all the way down to the {{Gorn}}.

[[WMG: Inaba will become a WeirdnessMagnet as more Persona users manifest.]]

As theorized above, a Persona has all of the abilities of a Stand, this ''includes'' the WeirdnessMagnet drawback. Around the time Yukiko gets her Persona, the Investigation Teams over-all weirdness will reach critical mass causing them to attract random psychotic Person/Standa users that the IT will have to fight to protect the town on top of trying to find the killer, mainly in lulls between cases like between Mitsuo and Naoto. And Naoto and Namatame.

* Because underneath all of JoJo's camp, the villains are very viscous and competent in ways Madara and Aizen wish they could be. A Vanilla Ice or HeroKiller type villain will come along near the end and kill a beloved teammate (most likely Yosuke, because he's practically a Zeppeli) in order to harden the IT's resolve to not make their death be in vain.

** Maybe not. Remember that Gyro was always the second main protagonist of Steel Ball Run and the story is just starting. Maybe TIM plans on introducing Gyro later, not that it'll completely save Yosuke from dying since this IS a JoJo fic.
