[@ankaplanka]

The way he treats people, even after finding some of them eccentric, not giving up on them, makes my heart melt. Remember when he first met Mikitaka and later on Mikitaka was freaking out because of the sirens being too loud for him? It reminded me of a few of my old autistic classmates ( I have it too) who are/were really sensitive to sounds and got overwhelmed by it. After seeing that happen, I was like: "Yep, I love Josuke."

[@alejandromaturana6628]

Yeah, josuke does to hayato, the same thing a stranger did for him, he saved him, risking his life balery knowing who he was

[@Gunsblazin94]

It's seemingly implied and hinted at that the stranger from the flashback was originally supposed to be Josuke, but at some point during the writing of DiU, Araki decided to go another way with the story. It wouldn't be the first time he's decided to drop certain ideas. I mean hamon itself got dropped for stand powers. My idea of how it was probably intended to happen was that Josuke got sent back in time due to a villain's power. Possibly Kira's Bites Za Dusto. Since that does have time travel aspects to it, and for some reason had to maintain his existence or find a way back, by helping his past self. Maybe the original way Kira's stand got rid of you was to make an event that happened in your past lead to your death, i.e. Baby Josuke dying from the DIO's curse illness that all Joestars at the time went through. Or, maybe he kept dying over and over, more like Diavolo, until he figured out a way to save his future self. I actually think this might be even more likely, as that's exactly what happens to Diavolo in the next part, and maybe Araki wanted to save the idea. Josuke's wounds in the flashback were similar to the ones he got when he fought Kira, but they could also have been caused by the many deaths he had to suffer through to get back. It's all just a theory, and I know it isn't the case now, but it's an interesting thing to think about, since Araki just mentioned it in passing, and never really delved into it much. As he said in that interview: "It was just Josuke's memory." It could have just been Josuke, over time, replacing the image of that hero in his mind with his own face. However, it's still very unusual. Why would there be this random, bloody, high school aged kid in the middle of nowhere in a massive snowstorm? Why was he walking on foot, and how would he know that the kid in the car was sick, since at the angle the panel is drawn in the manga, it wouldn't allow the stranger to see him. Let alone, tell that he was sick. There's a lot of mystery to it, and that's what drives people to think of theories like this. The scenario was just too suspiciously convenient and unnatural.

Jotaro in part 4: "No stand can bring back the dead" Jotaro in part 3: "Anyway, I'm gonna re-pump blood into this clearly dead human being and bring them back to life"

[@alfa01spotivo]

thats only because he had vampire blood

[@gray9818]

@@alfa01spotivo Well, more accurately it was his own blood

[@M4x_P0w3r]

That was because Joseph only suffered clinical death. Although the time limits may be unrealistic and the draining of blood makes everything much harder, you can bring them back to life if you can restart their heart. Josuke's grandpa suffered brain death when Aqua Necklace destroyed him from the inside. He was already gone when Josuke found him, even if he brought his brain back together

[@woobgamer5210]

Also, you know, Souls. Josuke's grandfather didn't have a fighting spirit, so his soul was never going to be strong enough to return to his body Joseph has a nack for cheating death, and a very strong fighting spirit even in his old age, meaning he was able to return to his body when Jotaro restarted his heart and got his organs back to function. Hell, Joseph is still alive even in Part 6.

[@verytired2419]

I’ve heard a lot of people say that Josuke is uninteresting, or that part four is a ‘filler part’, but I personally enjoyed it. Josuke was a great main character and the casual episodes felt like a breath of fresh air from the more intense feeling presented in parts one, two and three. Also the soundtrack and main OPs slaps.

Josuke and Yusuke have always been my personal favorite Shounen Characters bc of their tough guy persona yet kind hearted Personalities that make them someone you’d wanna befriend in real life. Josuke will always be my favorite Jojo.
