You Will Always Have A Part Of Me Nobody Else Is Ever Gonna See

Go To

In another world, Dr. Jotaro Kujo realized that leaving his family to protect them from his enemies wasn’t worth breaking his daughter’s heart.. So for nearly six years, he’s been doing his best to remain present in her life even after the divorce and potential threats.

Which becomes very handy when he’s asked to pick his daughter up from prison since she claims that she’s possessed by an evil spirit.

You will always have a part of me nobody else is ever gonna see is a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fic where Jotaro and Jolyne maintain a more familial but still tense dynamic compared to canon, all while dealing with a new group of Stand users connected to their long dead Familial Foe, DIO.

It was completed on June 8th, 2024.


You will always have a part of me nobody else is ever gonna see contains the following tropes:

  • Actually Pretty Funny: Mista finds it funny when Jolyne says that his Stand name, Sex Pistols, sounds like something he came up with at 13-years-old rather than 18.
  • Adaptational Early Appearance: Jolyne gets her Stand Stone Ocean in 2007, fours years before the events of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean
  • Alternate Personality Punishment: In chapter 17, 1988 Jotaro finds out that his grandfather had cheated on his wife a few years prior, he punches Joseph in the face… specifically the Joseph from 1938 who isn’t married yet.
  • Alternate Timeline: Thanks to Jotaro telling Avdol to utilize his Stand more often and advising Kakyoin not to make a Heroic Sacrifice, both of them along with Iggy survive their canon deaths, with Kakyoin remaining a family friend to the Joestar family. Meanwhile, Iggy tagged along with Polnareff to investigate Diavolo, and his sharp sense of smell keeps Polnareff from losing his body while stopping Diavolo from killing Narancia.
  • Big Bad: The main antagonist of the fic is Jeffrey "Jeff" Kline, a British Stand user who served DIO back in the 1980s. His goal is to combine the power of different Stand users and change history so DIO is victorious against Jotaro.
  • Big Damn Reunion: After seven years of not seeing each other in person and four years since a brief message from Polnareff, Jotaro finally reunites with his fellow Crusader in chapter 9, who not only explains what happened since his crippling by Diavolo and the events turning him into a ghost, but how he helped Giorno learn about his Joestar heritage, leading to an alliance between Passione and the Speedwagon Foundation.
  • Big "WHAT?!": After a tense but heartwarming moment where Jotaro explains his and her Stand to Jolyne, the teen cries out in shock, learning that other members of her family are Stand Users too.
  • Call-Forward: It’s mentioned in the new timeline that Avdol was killed and his Stand was stolen and forced onto another, revealing that Part 6’s Big Bad Pucci is still plotting against the Joestars.
  • Give Him a Normal Life: In a flashback /time travel to the time after the Crusaders left to kill DIO, Jotaro learned that the reason Holy agreed to move from America to Japan was to keep any children from getting pulled into the Joestar’s tragic legacy. With her son heading off to Egypt in an effort to save her life, she blames herself for not being strong enough to control her Stand.
  • History Repeats: In the fic, Jolyne gets her Stand the same way as her father. They both get attacked by thugs (Stand users in the case of Jolyne) only to be protected by their newly awakened Stand. However, they both mistake their Stand as an evil spirit, so they lock themselves in a prison cell to protect innocent people.
  • It Will Never Catch On: In chapter 5, Jotaro suggests to his ex-wife that Jolyne can accompany her to Komodo, arguing that there hasn’t been a Komodo dragon-related death in 33 years. The discussion takes place on May 1st, 2007, and a real-world fatal injury by a Komodo dragon happens the following month.
  • Kid from the Future: Inverted in chapter 17, when a time-travel incident causes Jolyne, Josuke, and Giorno to encounter the younger versions of their fathers. For Giorno's case, he explicitly meets Jonathan and Dio from the events of Phantom Blood.
  • My Greatest Failure:
    • The Point of Divergence is that two years after Jotaro decided to distance himself from his wife and daughter to protect them from enemy Stand users, Jolyne snuck away from her mother while they were at the college her parents worked at and went to her father’s office to cry on how she missed him. Jotaro came to regret his decision on how it hurted his daughter and worked with his wife to be better involved in Jolyne’s life, though there is still tension due to that decision.
    • Despite what Jeff believes (and banked on as a point to time travel to), Jotaro’s decision to fight DIO is not something he regrets. While he does grieve that his early companions died fighting DIO, he doesn’t regret their combined decision to fight the greater evil.
  • My Sister Is Off-Limits: Josuke gets riled up when he hears that Kakyoin had a crush on his older sister, Holly. Keep in mind that Holly is already married and is a grandmother.
  • Mythology Gag:
    • They are a few references to the events of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak. Josuke and Hol Horse already know each other from their past team-up, Noriaki Kakyoin is a former resident of Morioh, and Koichi is currently working under his cousin Ryoko.
    • In a flashback/time-travel to Jolyne's birth, it's revealed that Jotaro wanted to name his daughter Irene (primarily to prevent her from facing the Joestar's tragic destiny). This is both an In-Universe reference to their ancestor Erina Joestar nee Pendleton and an out-of-universe reference to Jolyne's Alternate Self following Made in Heaven in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean.
    • In the new timeline, it's mentioned that while Avdol survived his canon death, he died a few months prior to the present day after his Stand was stolen and given to another man who does not remember how he got it. This is all but said to be the work of Enrico Pucci, the Big Bad of Stone Ocean with a matching power set.
    • During an incident where Jolyne, Josuke, and Giorno encounter past versions of their father, 1938 Joseph is able to use his future self Stand Hermit Purple after Josuke explains it to him. This references an interview with Araki where he mentions that if the Crusaders went back to the time of Part II, they would see young Joseph with his Stand even if the latter isn't aware of it.
  • Once Done, Never Forgotten: Even after many years and an Alternate Timeline later, Kakyoin is still remembered for the time he said he wanted to marry a woman like Holly Kujo, which has since evolved to people thinking he wanted to marry her outright.
  • Rescuing the Abused: Discussed between Jotaro and Giorno regarding the past Giorno from 1988. Unsettled by the evidence of Parental Neglect that Giorno went thought, Jotaro suggest letting it slip to Polnareff about the child’s living condition, so that the child would be raised by a more better guardian while they keep each other out of trouble. Giorno briefly considers it, but decides against changing his past as while his childhood was terrible, it is was let him to become Passione’s mob boss and end the drug trade.
  • Something Only They Would Say: To confirm that he isn’t an illusion or disguise created by an enemy Stand user, Kakyoin brings up the night that after Jotaro defeated him and freed him from DIO’s control, they celebrated with drinks, Kakyoin talking about his favorite video games, and Jotaro mastering his cigarette tricks, which confirms that he is the real Noriaki Kakyoin with his death (along with other characters) prevented by Jotaro’s accidental time travel. There’s also an Invertsion when Jotaro doesn’t recognize Kakyoin’s cane that he needs after his cancer treatment, which helps the other understand what happened.
  • Wham Episode: In one arc, Jotaro gets trapped in a memory of when he and the others Crusaders met Polnareff in Hong Kong while Josuke, Giorno, and Jolyne need to team up with younger versions of their fathers. In chapter 20, as they're about to escape and return to 2007, Jotaro tells Kakyoin not to do anything cocky or self-sacrificing, referring to his future death trying to decipher DIO's Stand. When the Joestars return to the present, the chapter ends with Jotaro receiving a call from a now alive and much older Kakyoin, having avoided his canon death. As it turns out, what Jotaro thought was a memory was really Mental Time Travel thanks to a combination of enemy stands, leading not only to Kakyoin's survival but Avdol and Iggy surviving the fight against Vanilla Ice; additionally, in the fight against Diavolo, Narancia survives, and Polnareff keeps his human body thanks to Iggy tagging along. This is also realized by the Big Bad Jeff Kline, who plans to recreate this through both Jotaro and Giorno's memories to make sure DIO defeat Jotaro.
