General
- Jonathan's confusion over various aspects of modern times.
Chapter 1: I'm Jonathan Joestar!
- Jotaro being confused by Diego's Stand ability, wondering if he came from a dimension of people that could turn into giant lizards.
- Jonathan refusing to fight Mariah."I-I cannot hit a lady! It's not what a gentleman does! Please do not make me hurt you!"
- Despite talking about him quite a lot, Older Joseph somehow fails to recognize Jonathan at first."Who was that? Some distant cousin or something? I didn't really get a good look at him, Speedwagon basically pushed me off the sofa, so I headed outside."Wow."Gramps, for God's sake." Jotaro almost facepalmed. He looked at Joseph in the eyes as the latter stared confusedly at his grandson. "You always tell me stories about him and how awesome he is to you, and now that he's here, you think he's a long distance cousin?"It only took five seconds for Joseph to react, and when he did, his hands flew to his cheeks, eyes wide. "OH MY GOD! Grandpa Jonathan?!"
Chapter 2: Hamon, Zombies, Grandpa?!
- Josuke and Speedwagon attempting to carry Jonathan to a place where he can sleep due to exhaustion from the previous chapter's battle:"Holy shit! Why is he so heavy?!" Josuke cried out, his knees were actually wobbling.
"C'mon, Mr. Josuke!" Speedwagon yelled, he himself was struggling with keeping Jonathan's body up. Josuke huffed, eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, sweat forming on his forehead and neck as they tried moving foward, Jonathan's feet dragging against the floor painfully and his head hanging foward. They only walked four steps before Josuke's knees began wobbling again and Speedwagon's thighs cramped up, along with his shoulder letting out a painful pop. "Ah, my shoulder!" He hissed out, teeth grit. - Younger Joseph and Caesar entering the turtle for the first time.
- Younger Joseph's descriptions of the people inside the turtle:His emerald eyes raked over each of the new faces, a man with freakishly white hair that somehow defied gravity and stood straight up, a man with a large reddish curl, some guy with doughnuts in his fucking hair, a hot lady, another guy with a weird arrow-shaped hat, a kid with strange clothes, a guy with hair that looked like a row of corn, an even smaller kid next to corn-row head, a man with weird pen-shaped buttons on his coat, Speedwagon, a man passed out on the sofa...
Chapter 3: Grandson Troubles
- Jonathan crushing Joseph in a Bear Hug when he discovers he's related to him:Jonathan laughed, while Joseph only gasped, trying to suck in air. "G-Grandpa, I-I can't b-breathe!""Oh! My apologies!" He chuckled nervously, releasing Joseph from the death grip, but kept him at arm's length.
- Jonathan's reaction to the spike pit in Air Supplena Island's colosseum:
- After a practice battle, Jonathan simply picks up Joseph and Caesar like kittens and carries them away.Caesar: (Embarrassed) Per l'amor del cielo, what would my grandfather think of this...?
Chapter 4: The Future Sure Is... Something
- Jonathan attempting to pronounce Kakyoin's name:Jonathan: Pleased to make your acquaintance, Ka- (Furrows his brows) Kakoin- Kaky- Oh, I apologize. I've never heard these names before, so it's quite hard for me to pronounce them correctly.Kakyoin: It's alright, you can call me "Kak".Polnareff: Just call him "Cherry Boy".
- Jonathan's first time entering Mr. President's room:Naturally, due to this being the first time Jonathan has been exposed to a magical turtle with teleportation powers, it was expected that, unlike Joseph who landed on his feet, the young Joestar would not land on his feet. Instead, he landed flat on his back, a small groan escaping his mouth.
- Older Joseph casually mentioning the time he broke a policeman's finger with a bottle cap to Jonathan.
Chapter 5: A Gang-Star's Dream
- Right after a tense moment occurs between Giorno and Jotaro, Jonathan, while exploring the kitchen, opens a cabinet, only for an avalanche of pots and pans to fall on him.
- The rest of the Buccellati Gang's response to The Reveal that Jonathan is actually Giorno's father:Mista and Narancia: (In unison) P-"Padre"?! He's your DAD?!
- Younger Joseph's response to Giorno being Jonathan's son:
Chapter 6: Brownies And Cola
- Both Younger and Older Joseph freaking out over the previous revelation."OH MY GOD!""WHAT DO YOU MEAN "SON"?! HOLY FUCK, GRANDPA-"
- This interaction between Jonathan and the Sex Pistols:Number 7: Heyyyyy, look here too, electric dude!Jonathan: (Confusedly) E... "Electric dude"...?Unknown Number: Yeah, electric dude! 'Cuz you can control electricity!Number 5: I-It's not electricity... It's called "Hamon", guys...Number 3: (Jumps down and hits Number 5) Shut up, you crybaby!
- Young!Joseph mentions hot dogs in a conversation with Jonathan, which causes this misunderstanding to take place.If he was being honest, the words made him think of an actual dog, served hot, and he instantly thought of Danny. Oh, he suddenly lost his appetite.
- Jonathan complimenting Josuke's hairstyle."Though I do say, this is the first time I've seen hair like yours."His eyes were full of curiosity, and his lips pulled into a straight line. Josuke instantly tensed, shoulders going stiff. Koichi started sweating, knowing full well how Josuke got when it came to his hair, and Josuke seriously, really, truly didn't want to bash Jonathan's teeth in.
- After Jolyne joins the group, Jonathan realizes how much skin she's showing, and looks her in the eye out of respect.
Chapter 7: Styling Adventures And Striking Blues
- After Josuke's outburst at the revelation that Joseph is his father, Jonathan wants him to explain why Josuke had such a reaction, and the following ensues:
- During his chewing-out of Joseph, Jonathan tries to find the correct way to express his dissapointment:Jonathan: If you had the... the...Jotaro: (Filling him in) "Balls"?Jonathan: (Blushes) Jotaro, language! The... guts... to do such a thing while married...
- Jonathan then decides to help calm Josuke down by letting him style his hair:Jonathan: (looking at the hair dryer in Josuke's hand) Josuke, what is that?
Josuke: (while plugging it into the outlet) It's a blow dryer. It's used to dry wet hair or straighten it. (turns it on)
Jonathan: (is startled by the sound) W-What is that?!
Josuke: (yelling over the noise) S-Sorry! (shuts off the device) I should've warned you how loud they are.
Jonathan: (putting a hand to his chest) Goodness, what a scary contraption.
Josuke: (sheepishly) Sorry, again. I promise it's safe though, you'll just feel hot air on your head.
Jonathan: (nodding) Alright, I trust your word. Go ahead.
Chapter 8: Stars In The Sky
- As Jonathan and Josuke are about to head into the Light Rift, Younger Joseph gives him some advice:As Josuke turned to the rift, Joseph practically yelled at Jonathan, "Be careful, grandpa! If anyone tries to attack you, just give 'em a good Hamon charged kick right in the-""Yes, thank you Joseph!" Jonathan quickly cut him off, envisioning his next words, and resisted the slight urge to scold his grandson.
- Jonathan's description of Gyro's outfit:He was dressed entirely in different shades of blues, greens and oranges. His lips matched the bright shade of green his hair was, and Jonathan couldn't decide which was more curious: The hat, the cape, the strange indentations along his jawline, the metal balls adorning his shirt, or the belt with hand designs pointing directly at his-
Oh... Good heavens.
Jonathan concluded right then and there that the people of the future had some... interesting... fashion choices.
Chapter 9: B-B-Baby!
- Jonathan somehow being mistaken for Jotaro by Alessi.
- The scene where Jonathan is finally returned to normal after Alessi's defeat:Jonathan's eyes darted around the room, landing on the figures before him once more, "What happened-" He then cut himself off with a small gasp, "Oh! That is right, a Stand user attacked me and turned me into a child!"His hand came up to rub his temple. "Ah, it is coming back to me. I ran through the rift and Giorno found me, and then you all helped, and-"He then looked down, an instant blush spreading from his cheeks down to his neck when he noticed his shirt was very much nonexistent."Good heavens!" His arms quickly flew to cover his chest and stomach.
Chapter 10: Over Heaven
- The group talking about the events of the previous chapter:"Thank you, for taking such great care of me earlier when the... incident... occurred." He then looked at everyone around him, "Thank you all, truly."
A chorus of "You're welcome." and "No worries!" rang out, and Jolyne couldn't help the grin that overtook her features. "No problem, but I just have to say, you were so cute as a kid!"
Jonathan blushed, and nervously scratched at his neck. "Why, thank you."
"I had no idea you were so hyper!" Josuke added.
"Or that you had a chocolate obsession." Giorno said.
"Or that you drool like hell when you sleep." Jotaro grumbled.
By now, Jonathan's face was a hundred different shades of red, and he bashfully hid behind his hands. "Oh dear..."
Chapter 11: Tea Time
- This comment from Lisa Lisa regarding Joseph and Caesar's cooking skills:"Oh, you would not believe the first time I sent them to make something as simple as tea. They nearly destroyed the kitchen."
- Shortly before the duo enters the room, we have this:Before she stepped in, the Joestar spoke up, "Um, I hope you do not mind me saying so, but I believe it would be best if you carry these inside. I'm afraid almost every time I have entered the turtle, I have not always landed on my feet." He gave a nervous laugh, "But you are very graceful, you should be able to bring these inside without fault.""Of course." She replied and took the trays from his hands, trying not to feel giddy at his compliment. She's heard words like that a million times over, but it's so different coming from the man who saved her life and didn't even know it.Smoothly, she walked foward and soon found herself landing gracefully on the carpeted floor of the reptile.A moment later, Jonathan landed beside her, and indeed, he stumbled slightly on his landing. Lisa Lisa smirked half-amusedly, imagining the cakes would've landed on the wall if he had held onto the trays.
Chapter 12: Confessions With Strings Attached
- Jonathan getting to meet Jolyne's friends:The woman beside him quirked a brow, and the glaring man looked like he was about to blow more than one fuse when she threw an arm around his arm, but then she answered, "This is my grandpa!"At once, the pink haired guy's jaw dropped, the woman's eyes widened and the boy gasped, all the while Jonathan just raised his free hand and waved. "Hello, I'm Jonathan Joestar.""Th-This guy's your grandpa?!" Hermes nearly shouted, pointing at Jonathan."Well, he's my great-great-great grandpa, actually." She said it so casually that Anasui almost choked."Seriously?! How old is he?!" He cried out.All eyes turned to Jonathan, and he felt his cheeks burn. Oh, why is he always in the spotlight whenever he is introduced to new people?
- Jolyne sharing her thoughts on high-school Jotaro's fashion sense:Jolyne: In my time, he's way older, and he doesn't look like he got dipped in tar. Seriously, why does he look like he's going to a funeral?Jonathan: (snorts, then covers his mouth) Ah, I should not have laughed at that...
- Jolyne commenting on Jonathan's Heroic Build:Jolyne: (poking his bicep) Seriously, what do you even feed these things?
- Afterwards, Jolyne shows Jonathan her Stand:Jonathan: Hey, Jolyne? What does your Stand look like?(Jolyne doesn't respond, causing Jonathan to start panicking)Jonathan: E-Excuse me if that was rude of me, I only discovered Stands exist today and I am very curious of them and-
Chapter 13: High Stakes

Chapter 19: Nice To Meet You, Again
- During the scene where George talks about how worried he was about Jonathan, he takes a moment to comment on his son's... questionable fashion sense:"I could not find you earlier, and then when Danny did, you were, and are, wearing the strangest clothing I have ever seen, and you sounded like you were on the verge of a mental breakdown."
- After Holly kisses him on the cheek, Jonathan is left confused:Jonathan: (blinks, then touches his cheek) I assume that's a normal thing to do in this time?Jotaro: You mean the kiss? Yeah, why?Jonathan: Back in my time, that is considered very improper if you aren't engaged or to marry the person.Jotaro: (snorts) Well, get used to it. My mom is really affectionate.
- While eating at Jotaro's house, Jonathan accidentally snaps a chopstick in two while trying to hold it:Jonathan: (cringes) Ah, I am so sorry! I did not know they were so... delicate.
- Jonathan calls out Jotaro for drinking alcohol despite being underage, only for Jotaro to reply that he was guilty of doing the exact same thing, and at an even younger age:...Jonathan idly wondered just where his descendants gained the ability to make sassy remarks like that.
- Jonathan attempting to put on a yukata. Keyword: Attempting.
- Jotaro having an Argument of Contradictions with Polnareff about whether using Star Platinum during a ring-tossing game counts as cheating.Polnareff: Hey, you're using Star Platinum!
Jotaro: ...And?
Polnareff: That's cheating!
Jotaro: No it's not.
Polnareff: Yes it is!
Jotaro: Is not.
Polnareff: Is!
Jotaro: Not.
Polnareff: Argh! - As Jonathan prepares to go through the rift, Jotaro says this:Jotaro: It's gonna be really dull without you here. Everything and everyone is so boring.
Polnareff: Hey! we're here too, y'know!
Jotaro: Like I said, it'll be super boring without you around.
Polnareff: Hey!
