Who is Jodio's Father? The JOJOLands Theory

Jodio is the newest Joestar but he acts more like a Brando... Lets take a deeper look into Jodio's character and the timeline leading up to Part 9 to try and find out who Jodio's father could possibly be.
The JOJOLands is the 9th Part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. The JOJOLands began serialization in February 2023 in Ultra Jump Magazine and is currently on-going.

[@aleriv2791]

And alohae guy is working with him cuz he's doppio!

[@l.g_splitz3637]

This is literally the theory I have, and that Diavolo will be a Brando due to biblical relationship between the Devil and God in the bible, Diavolo being Italian for Devil and Dio being Italian for god. Diavolo could be an ancestor of a forgotten child of Diego just as Lucifer was cast out by God. This is why we think Diego died childless, because he abandoned his child at a young age

[@l.g_splitz3637]

@@rosekirk I don't necessarily think that alternate universe Diavolo will be a villain, perhaps a minor one but not the key point of the plot, I belive that role will go to an alternate universe Pucci. I think that this Diavolo will be more a key pivoting point of the plot similar to Kira in part 8. The Joestar curse isn't in motion as there isn't necessarily going to be a rivalry between the two characters they will simply coexist in close context just as Dio and Giorno did in the original universe. Jodio is an alternate universe Giorno after all, his father has to be a decendant of the Brando lineage anyway. Its just my theory is that he will take the form of an alternate universe Diavolo. I still believe the main villain will be thematically similar to Pucci but I have no real evidence for this other than Kars being thematically similar to Valentine and Tooru bring thematically similar to Kira (Valentine being obsessed with shaping the America in his own image and ruling over a group of people similar to Kars and Tooru attempting to live a life undected by those around him similar to Kira). This means each of the main villains of the alternate universe are thematically and characteristicly similar to the villains of the original universe on even numbered parts which means the next even numbered part is part 6 meaning this main villain will not be "Pucci" in the literal sense but will be very similar in goals and ideals.

[@lyndonkelley2046]

A cool theory someone talked about is how each of the Joestar protagonists in the alternate universe are opposites to their original counterparts. Johnny is frail and morally grey unlike Jonathon who's massive and righteous. Gappy is much more willing to go after his goals and start fights than Josuke who was pretty laid back and only attacked when provoked. Jodio is a loudmouth who traffics drugs to kids, and Giorno was much more subtle and became the Mafia's leader to stop child drug sales. It's cool that Araki really seems to leaning into this. I also think we're going to get this dichotomy with Dragona and Jolyne sooner or later.

[@HobieInTheBox]

That is so true, haven't even thought of it like that

[@ianmason96]

Alt-universe Joseph Joestar was actually really polite and honorable, kind of like a more awkward Jonathan Joestar Josefumi Kujo was extremely polite to his mother >Alternate universe Jolyne/Irene: always pays her taxes on time, volunteers at the local food bank, is taking marine biology in college just like her dad

[@JoJoosh]

Interesting theory that I could see somewhat carrying over with the returning main antagonist we’ve seen as well. Instead of being a serial killer Kira saves a couple lives. As well as being the son of a nurse and helps out at the hospital, contrasting with how the original Kira died. Off the top of my head Diego might not have too many drastic differences from Dio, but he seems much more reasonable than Dio. He could even be considered a good guy/antihero in the end against Valentine. Might all be coincidence but I’m interested to see if there’s a new Diavolo and if he’ll follow this possible pattern

[@rosekirk]

Compare both their parents as well, you see how Giorno was treated vs how Jodio is treated with his brother, and he even loves his mom which is why he sells the drugs.

[@parisbower6939]

I dig this theory! What about the one where part 7 Johnny is actually the culmination of parts 1-3. The life of Jonathan, the “brutality” of Jotaro, and the smart ass mouth of Joseph. Josuk8 is laid back like Josuke, ruthless like giorno, and empathetic like Jolyne.

I feel like Araki’s making Jodio’s mental state what it is to give him personal evolution alongside his story arc. He sells drugs to kids and stuff like that now, but through his pursuit of mechanisms he could change *_drastically,_* taking a look back at his past and thinking “oh god I’ve been part of the negative mechanisms this whole time” or something. The sorts of journeys Araki’s characters take always change them dramatically, whether it’s Jotaro learning to trust and rely on others over his journey after his father abandoned him or Josuke learning to take his responsibility to his community more seriously during the Kira case; maybe Araki will have this father try to come back and take custody, even. Really work the family drama on overdrive.

[@bardoftartarus]

My insane crackpot theory: Diego survived Steel Ball Run. At the end of SBR, alt world Diego is killed by annihilating his head with our world Diego's head. Here's where I start being insane: Our world Diego still had Scary Monsters when he died, an ability that infects other living things with a dinosaur virus. This virus therefore could have tranformed alt universe diego into a dinosaur, and combined with his ability to control the morphing of his dinosaurs via fossilisation, recreate himself. Is this absolutely insane? Yes. Is it possible in Jojo's? Also yes. I think this Dio would also be immortal much like original Dio due to him being able to manipulate his body specifically via scary monsters and possibly adhere new flesh from others.

If he was enough of a womanizer, which would track given Diego’s give-no-fucks attitude, he could’ve just forgot to wrap it when he tapped it one night while he was still working the widow for her inheritance.

Jodio's psychologist shouldn't be diagnosing him with ASPD, you cannot diagnose children with that condition. You can diagnose conduct disorder in them, which shares similarities to ASPD, but they're not developed enough for a diagnosis of it.

[@siruseless6650]

@@ImpendingRiot83 Heck, coming from Araki I can see the psychologist that diagnosed Jodio being brought into question and/or proven wrong as the story continues and that becomes a plot point in and of itself.

[@ardad6843]

I like the idea (theory?) that Barbara Ann is a bastard child of this universe's Joseph, except he adopted her from a young age and raised her with this version of Suzy Q. A parallel to both (Part 4) Josuke & Shizuka. I can only imagine how the JoJo fandom would react, if Joseph cheated on his wife with a very distant descendant Diego. But who knows, maybe we're looking too in-depth. Fans will be fans.

[@thiagoleal5841]

I actually think his father might be alternative diavolo. Like, Barbara Ann is the opposite of Giorno's mom, she is caring and present in his life while giorno's was absent and uncaring. So, it isn't a stretch to think that Jodio's father would be an opposite to Dio(god), which means he could be Diavolo(devil). Also, og Diavolo did abandon his daughter, and if Jodio's father is to be an opposite of Dio, he could have an active role in his story

[@gdxnsk]

My theory is that its actually diego. you guysbknow those chickens that stay alive once their heads are cut off? so, a dinossaur is basically a big chicken, imagine if once lucy "killed" the world diego, the scary monster stand was still active and preserved him. would be an amazing callback to see a dio parasiting a body with his head with two stands given that the original had a hermit purple that was likely from jonatham

[@kogux]

I think we should appreciate how xforts helped us all with the questions we've haven't bothered to research.

[@l.g_splitz3637]

I have a theory that Jodio's father will be revealed to be an alternate universe Diavolo who will be a direct forgotten decentant of Diego Brando. I know that sounds really stupid but hear me out. Over part 7 and 8 we have had direct references or thematical similarities to every villain in the original universe between parts 1 and 4 (Diego and Kira being direct references to Dio and Kira while Valentine was thematically similar in both goals and motivation as Kars.) We have not yet encountered a counterpart for Diavolo or Pucci yet. The reason it is possible for Diavolo to be a Brando in the alternate universe is for a few reasons. Diavolo is by both name and theme a reference to Lucifer in the bible (Diavolo is Devil in Italian.) while Dio is similar in both name and themes to God (Dio being Italian for God.) Lucifer was cast out by God but that doesn't mean he wasn't once an angel of God, one of Gods creations. A creation cast out and forgotten. This could line up with Diego perhaps having a child, a child he didn't want so he abandoned them and never brought it up again which is the reason why we think Diego died childless in SBR. This could then be passed down the family tree until we reach the child named Diavolo, a devil born as the forgotten child of Diego Brando. They then could have had a child with Barbra Ann, who already had Dragona at this point, and then disappeared similar to Diavolo and Trish. Barbra Ann kept her maiden name of Joestar and decided to never bring up Diavolo to Jodio. Also Diavolo follows a similar naming scheme to Dario, Dio and Diego, all the members of the Brando bloodline It has a "D" an "I" and two "O" sounds which are key inflections within the name itself, This point is a little less likely to be the main reason but to me it sounds right. This sounds super out there but its perfectly in line with how insane Araki writes his stories and pulls out references from everything around him including biblical texts, references and symbolism. I feel like my English teacher right now lmao

[@glugs3356]

Bruh this comment is unessessaraly underrated. I love this theory

[@juanhaines7295]

I can't wait to see how far jodio will go.

[@sonpanchan]

It's also possible Diego could've also had a fling with one of vis fangirls before he died and had an illegitimate child. Another thing that also supports the whole Brando dad thing is that Brandos have names starting with D and Dragona's name obviously starts with a D (Giorno is an exception because he's a JoJo like Jodio and phonetically his name makes him a Jojo. He doesn't have a J because the Italian language doesn't have a J and in Japanese there's no distinction since the katakana for jo and gio are the same making him Joruno Jovana). That said one theorie of who Jodio's dad could be is the flashback guy who appeared in Jojolion that was never brought up again. The guy Josuke randomly remembers while he's being attacked by Ojiro. If you look at that man he's blonde and has a similar hair style to Jodio. Josuke concludes that he met him in his past life meaning that Kira knew the man. It would make some sense for Kira to have known him if that man was his uncle.

[@LadleLoverDS]

Okay. Hear me out now. What if we’re being introduced into the main villain first.

[@KingOfDarknessAndEvil]

That would be so cool, kinda like Kira where they build and develop the villain, but tricking us into thinking they're the protagonist on top of thay

[@phoenixk9168]

Just something I noticed. Araki puts more emphasis on his characters personalities in the earlier chapters. Not that he forgets them, but they are just more prominent early. Like how Josuk8 loved sleeping underneath his bed for more pressure or Giorno folding his ear into it's hole or repeating himself or Yasuho liking her elbow or Josuke being scared of Reptiles. Also Diego could have had an illegitimate child at any point in time. Even during the race. Johny nearly fucked Hot pants. It's not impossible.

[@asimuddin6864]

I wish Araki stuck with those traits. Like Josuk8 was so goofy in the start. But in the second half, he loses a lot of his personality. Ig cause of the situation, he had to be more serious but still.

[@BasicallyFailing]

I feel like rather than needing a Dio like figure the father figure this time could be shown to have a lot of significance for Jodio within the part. As it feels like the mention of him so far and him definitely being alive might be setting up for something later. Does make me wonder if his own father could end up being in a Diavolo like role for this part rather than JUST a Dio expy. Especially as a lot of characters in the new universe feel less like straight up alternate versions of the same character so much as more and more of them feel like mixes of previous characters. Not to mention as you pointed out Diavolo and Dario both have things in common when it comes to how they treat their offspring.

[@PhoenixAllen]

Do you think way later jodio could have a moment that's the opposite of dio throwing away his humanity? Like some epiphany causes jodio to throw away his selfish desires and become a true joestar? It'd be really cool to have a jojo that has to consciously choose and learn to be righteous instead of it just being innate in their joestar blood

[@thementalorder1233]

I mean, in this new universe, the Joestar lineage is different from the one we saw in the original one. If you look close enough, the Joestars in the new universe are mainly motivated by egoism instead of out of a desire to help people. And yes, Johnny started to form a bond with Gyro and at the end he genuinely wanted to stop alternative Diego out of simply wanting to help in the situation, and Gappy protects his family and friends like no one. But their main motivation is out of egoism, which brings out a more morally grey Joestar lineage instead of the og Joestars, whose while some of them were questionable, their main motivations was to help people.

[@youreadthisinyourmindright2604]

[@angryboi595]

I feel like it’s impossible for Diego to be the father because of the such large time period. Steel Ball Run takes place in 1890, while Jojolands takes place around 2021 (judging from the use of covid and more modern settings). I think Jodio’s father is a descendant of Diego, much likely a grandson or something, maybe great grandson. Whether this Diego was the current one or the alternate one with The World…I don’t know, but I do think he’ll have a major role later on, possibly something like a role Jotaro had to Jolyne or Diavolo had to Trish, both can be either ways. Though judging from the more part 5-like setting, with Josip being a alternate Giorno, I think his father might be an alternate Diavolo and likely the main villain

[@yoetaro8137]

Well, Diego was a famous jockey. Judging from that one scene where Johnny tries to brutally murder him whilst a group of women is simping for him, we can assume that women love him. It is entirely possible that Diego, in the same way as DIO, had numerous children with numerous women from hookups. Jodio is probably a decendant of one of those hookup children.

[@jonathancarrion0809XXI]

I know this is really off-topic, but now that we have these parallels between characters, I wanted to mention that I'm interested in knowing how part 8's plot is going to affect part 9. With the whole idea of having a territory mix things together, there might be a point when, if a stand user with the ability to overlap and mix universes ends up being the final villain, will probably get something like the Earth and the universe will get overlapped with the original universe and end up mixing all characters together in a single universe mix. Basically, Part 8, but universes instead of just people.

[@kingoflions4459]

I would absolutely love for Jodio’s father to be a Brando descendant but Araki is the king of unpredictable mad lads he will probably make their father some random guy of no importance

[@Darling-2003]

Imagine Diego survived somehow. I know this sound crazy, but this is Jojo

[@infinitefun527]

its kinda poetic in a way, giorno acts like jonathan and jodio acts like dio

[@prestonlouppe]

Ya'll think Jodio's dad could be that flashback guy Josuke saw during the Fun, Fun, Fun arc?

[@somerandommemer188]

5:48 is that Yasuho in the background?

[@Chaos.InsurgencyDeltaCommand]

Tooru

[@zoefarr2600]

I sort of read it that she moved to get away from Jodio's father... (also Diego could have gone out and 'boinked' a statesworth of prostitutes both while he was married to his wrinkly wife, AND in stopovers during the race...)

[@Cavegeckosol]

I think Jodio's relationship with money and happiness could tell us a lot about his father and his lineage. He worried that someone "like him" will never find happiness because the adults in his life want to look at him so clinically. It makes me wonder if money is how or why his mother had to move from Atlantic City, a major gambling capital. Maybe he has seen money build people up and tear them down at the same time which definitely fits the Brando theme.

[@johnathan69]

Nice video did you edit this ?

[@xForts]

Yup

[@eastoneone4015]

Calling it now, jodio’s father made the family up and move to hawaii so he could look further into those rocks we’ve seen in rohans villa, then either went Brando dad mode and was just shitty (meaning he’s gonna be a future antagonist) or he went part 6 Jotaro mode and left to protect the family (meaning he’ll turn up later in the part, not sure what kind of alignment). Either that or he’s largely irrelevant to the story like Jotaro’s dad or Giorno’s and Jolyne’s mothers, and we don’t hear anything else about him save for maybe a couple of details.

[@youreadthisinyourmindright2604]

Diego must have had some kind of affair before he died being handsome and charming as he is. Its not impossible that he have child with another woman that continued the Brando bloodline, that somehow, fated to meet the Joestar again

[@Ggigothydra]

Im more wondering how stand battles will be this part i dont see how with 4 utility stands (with November probably being the strongest for now). Will there be stand evos like part 7 or maybe rohan's stand (Heavens door if it still same name design did get updated). Like will November's stand rush be touch a bouling ball and obliterate you with heavy ass raindrops just like Wonder of U rain moment?

[@tireiron33]

one thing i will say about the new colour scans is that i love the range of colours used, makes it look like what araki would want the coloured scans to actually look like

[@xForts]

The colored scans are actually a fan project with panels being colored by various artists in the community, you can check them out! chromaverse-paint.carrd.co/

[@-Gug-]

Maybe Diego idk laid an egg?

[@rockymac04]

Jodio now is just an edgelord It'll make sense in the future without a doubt Also he probably played Among Us at some point considering his age and time the story takes place 😅

[@Sakura_Truffle]

I swear to god if we see Jodio call someone sus or accuse someone of “venting”

[@grouchygamer2404]

As a Spanish speaker his name cracks me up 😅

[@kyleandrade6140]

Headcanon: Jodio’s father is Walter White

[@Salik986]

We got an au version of phantom blood, diamond is unbreakable and golden wind. Hopefully the next part is an au stardust crusaders

[@racergamer3733]

Part 7 was kind of a fusion of part 1 and 3. Considering who the final antagonist was I don't think Araki is gonna go on after Jojolands, hes like 70 or 80 and he took 10 years to finish Jojolion, it might take another ten for Jojolands

[@Jarethttorney]

Because of the part 5 connection I kinda hope somehow au Risotto is involved with part 9 because of underused he was. Plus Risotto and Jodio have white hair. But that might just be my Risotto bias talking.

[@migg779]

Imagine in this universe giorno is the villain and the father of jodio and the end is Jodio vs Giorno

[@lordauz]

Best jojo protag for longtime fans tbh, I relate with his story

[@lordauz]

It's going to be very catcher in the rye-like

[@TKG785]

Everybody gangsta til Jodio's father has the last name Brando: *Diavolo Brando* Speaking of predictions, I look forward to when see 4 more Giornos in Part 9 lol

[@PotatoKun01]

By the way, Meryl Mei Qi is most likely pronounced Meryl Mei "chi"

[@aldrinorongan5285]

Maybe he's father is Diavolo since that guy almost have the same goal as Dio

[@robrocrafts]

Barbara Ann's mother IS Suzie Q it says it in the page you are showing! 2:39

[@xForts]

Araki isn't always truthful on the family trees. He will often omit things until they are revealed.

[@robrocrafts]

@@xForts I need to defend Joseph against the cheating allegations.

[@owenzinkweg5318]

I have a theory that is totally unsubstantiated but IMO would really make this part and SBR very satisfying. My theory is that Hot Pants actually survived the fall off the train since we never actually see her perish, she falls off and that's the end of it, we are told she's dead. Then maybe she puts Dio back together- it would be a easy way for Araki to add Dio back into the story without really retconning anything. Also something I'm noticing, but Diavolo is almost certainly not going to be the main antagonist. So far Dio and Kira did not return as the major antagonists in their parts which were callbacks to parts 1 and 4. Valentine and Tooru have no equivalent in the phantom blood universe, and that's what makes them so interesting. I think we can expect Diavolo to appear, but he probably won't be the villain. We might even have multiple versions of him, given that we had Jobin as the new Kosaku (At least I think, it feels right given his wife and kid) Doppio could be his own seperate person now. I'm very interested to see how Diavolo, Doppio, and Trish appear in the new universe. Also, are we going to get Uber King Crimson as the final boss stand? The power up from Bites the Dust to Wonder of U was nuts, can you imagine a similar buff to KC? That thing is gonna be a trip.

[@dockbrown8129]

Yo xforts, I used to buy me two large Mike's hard's, and a bag of Doritos dinamitas, and just watch your JoJo videos endlessly back in 2016. It's good to hear your voice man

[@chill8998]

The Hando's sound effects as a censorship is an excellent idea

[@BlackFoxx777]

Can we count the part where jouster tried to forge that lottery ticket as an ambition

[@deustrilla3563]

The dad went to prison, so its like the prison parallel.

[@elementallobsterx]

The main villain will be SO avant garde and original, whoever it is.

[@ImWorldwideLevel]

My theory is that his father is a descendant of Dario,since it was mentioned in SBR that Dario was still alive but that was the last we heard of him(Unresolved Plot-point),I'm gonna assume Jodio's father will link back to Dario

[@noku2498]

I think that Diego's dad went to have another kid who he had also named dio. that's my guess

[@shoynla]

jodio is giorno with a serial killer personality

[@pearlcarneiro5432]

I'm looking forward to seeing Dragona's character develop more and more

[@edisonkelly2729]

Flashback man is Jodio's father.

[@jeannin.wallace2795]

my prediction, is his father is a alternative universe Donatello, If Araki is going down the mixed family tree of decendants, Diego could've had many partners, like DIO with his 4 kids. Like how Jotaro kinda exists in the Family tree in spirit. Another prediction is, maybe Jodio is isn't a Jojo at all, and only adopted? Maybe he's just full Brando. But has Joestar name from adoption.

[@jeannin.wallace2795]

I mean it's not the only instance a Brando was adopted to the Joestar Name
