Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: JoJolion - Breaking the Curse

spoiler warning this will spoil all of part eight of jojo's bizarre adventure and will contain major spoilers from throughout all previous parts enjoy part eight of jojo's bizarre adventure to julian was a story about breaking a curse but now that it's over you may be left with some questions questions like what does it mean that wonder of usability was related to the logic and the reason of the world why did destroying it and the higashikata curse what was the significance of josephumi being indirectly named after joseph joestar and why did josuke have gobion where did it come from and how could it feed wonder of his ability i know that's a lot to throw out all at once but don't worry we're going to go through it in order so to explain this theory my interpretation of jejolian i want to retell the story from a certain point of view i will go over the events of the story from a perspective in which they form a single struggle the last from 1901 to 2011. actually more precisely one could say that the events of jejolian are an attack one single attack which began when a tearful johnny joestar set out on a fateful horse ride to save his infant son from an evil fate this attack was carried forward by a series of coincidences the flow of good fortune and through the dreams that individuals shared ultimately resulting in the eradication of the higashikata curse this is the single attack theory an interpretation of jejolian [Music] section one fairness rules and rules are power the attack begins the year is 1890 and the transcontinental horse race known as the steel ball run will soon draw to a close gyro zepelli stricken with the soon-to-be mortal wound and armed only with the steel balls stares down american president funny valentine they are clashing over the fate of lucy steele whose body has fused with the body of jesus of nazareth the relic known as the saints corpse causing her to emit a brilliant golden light valentine is using his dimension manipulation stand dirty deeds done dirt cheap or d4c for short to ensure himself with the corpses light an ability named d4c love train this is the same combined ability that is currently changing the position of gyro's world driving it towards his heart for valentine's benefit love train which derives from the saints corpse has the power to attract all things of good fortune towards itself moving objects people and the landscape itself it also deflects bad fortune away from itself towards another corner of the world the zenith of this effect is the light itself as valentine explains all gyro has to do is step through that curtain of light and his wound will be cured deflected to another person far away gyro ignores valentine's taunt teaches his friend and project johnny joe star one last lesson and chooses to sacrifice his own life rather than have someone else suffer his misfortune later jojolian describes this power of the corpse as bringing about removal an equivalent exchange fortune for one person is balanced out by misfortune for another that is the rule through which the saints corpse works it's a heartless rule and we are told that this is why the corpse was sealed away [Music] after the events of the steel ball run johnny joestar marries rina higashikata daughter of the racist runner-up noriske higashikata and moves to her hometown of morya but just a few short years later in 1901 rina is struck by a mysterious illness which causes her to lose her memories and turns her skin hard like stone this rock disease has apparently affected the firstborn children of the higashikara family for hundreds of years though its exact origin isn't revealed in the story johnny desperate turns to the power that jairo refused he steals the saints corpse lucy steele and members of the speedwagon foundation chase after johnny but he evades them and ends up performing two equivalent exchanges to save his family this turns the land of morio into holy ground the kind rock humans are attracted like the places in america that once housed the parts of the holy corpse the first exchange occurs at the foot of the meditation pine curing reno of the disease and leaving behind the power to perform exchanges in the ground itself however something goes terribly improbably wrong of all the people in the world that the rock disease could have been shifted onto it transfers onto johnny's three-year-old son george who is sitting in a carriage nearby this is seemingly an extremist fortune what one could call a calamity a tearful johnny mounts his horse and places his son on it atop the briefcase holding the holy corpse he rides far from his wife using the power of the horse's scallop to activate the ultimate form of his stand tusk act iv which possesses an unstoppable attack he reflects on how he feels about his son on the immense happiness george has brought into his life and on how he would not trade that happiness for anything then johnny uses tusk to shoot george as the light around the corpse flares initiating an equivalent exchange the exchange transfers the disease onto johnny and he is struck by his own attack seemingly deflected just as the previous equivalent exchange created the unique properties of the grounds near the meditation pine the second exchange creates the ability autumn leaves autumn leaves is a stand that inhabits the ginkgo leaves found in shakedown road and causes objects to be moved around spontaneously this ability's first activation moves a boulder onto johnny's head crushing it george is cured of the disease and goes on to lead a normal life thanks to johnny's sacrifice the question is why did johnny shoot george with act four and why did all those calamitous things happen immediately afterward the functioning of the corpse in the scene seems stacked against johnny in a way that doesn't match how it functions in steel ball run perhaps it is the disease itself the higashikata family curse which causes the exchanges to go so awry after all if the power of the holy corpse is a blessing would on the other side of that coin be a curse for every light there must be shadow and we have seen plenty of the dark side of the corpse before just before all the pieces of the holy corpse were collected lucy steele was in possession of most of it this granted her the stand ticket to ride by cutting people with blades made from her tears lucy could make their fate favorable to her targets of the ability were unable to hurt her instead hurting themselves in unlikely ways seemingly on accident these strengths of coincidences caused by ticket to ride are also reminiscent of the way that love train deflects an attack usually the attack isn't literally transferred anywhere else rather the consequences of the attack are negated and instead someone else far away suffers a proportional and from their perspective coincidental misfortune these effects strongly resemble wonder of you the head doctor has no face that's the kind of person he is that's the kind of ability all things under heaven and earth and the connections between them none of them will be on your even on the right path a saint who walks free of error can't always avoid evil that is calamity wonder of you is sustainability of the rocky human toru it often takes the shape of the head doctor of tg university hospital satoru akafu in many ways this power is the opposite of love train whereas love train can deflect any misfortune that would affect the user wonder of you instead brings about misfortune as an attack against its target they are two aspects of the same power anyone who pursues toru or his stand becomes first in the flow of calamity first in the list of disasters that are written into the very chain of logic that makes up the world the visible effect of this is a series of harmful coincidences which often cause far more damage than they reasonably should the form of the head doctor is this natural calamity energy which story merely co-opted as its own stand it exists independently of him that is why wonder of you remains when toru is killed and it also implies that the power pre-existed given that it's the destruction of wonder of you that breaks the higashikata curse or at least that the two events go inside it seems that the higashikata curse was a part of this flow of calamity perhaps before toru was ever even born taurus existence itself may have been a part of the flow of calamity a host for one review to help protect it from the infinite rotation all this might explain why the disease seems to stick so close to the family when exchanged by the corpse the higashikatas have been marked for calamity in a sense that is what a curse is so why did johnny die after the second exchange because he was affected by wonder of you through its connection to the higashikata curse the corpse exchanged away the rock disease from george but a wonder of usability ensured that johnny would be its next target and why did wonder view trigger on johnny in the first place because johnny attacked it this it seems to me is the true purpose behind johnny getting on a horse to perform the exchange he was hoping that at the moment of transfer his attack would pierce and destroy the disease this attempt caused johnny to be moved to the top of the list of calamities that explains why johnny became the victim of the exchange and why the first activation of autumn leaves was to kill johnny but something here still makes no sense how could tusk act 4 be deflected back onto johnny after all tusk act 4 is a stand that uses the rotational power of a horse running at its natural gate to generate an infinite rotation just go with it the entire point of this stance existence in the context of part 7 was that the infinite rotation is an attack that love trained couldn't deflect therefore it can't have been the corpse's activation that redirected the shot and since wonder of u has a similar nature to the corpse it is doubtful that it could have accomplished that on its own either rather it seems more in keeping with the various abilities involved the tusk act 4 hit johnny because it still was following the calamity this is similar to tusk's behavior in the high voltage arc where act 4 moves through a bridge after hitting it homing in on its true target diego and attacking him from the ground so too is the shot here merely following its true target the rock disease and the flow of calamity this homing attack then triggers wonder of you a second time causing a boulder to crush johnny via autumn leaves after all when a stand user dies their stand ability disappears um usually anyway that's why johnny's body is not annihilated by the infinite rotation and why the attack doesn't continue on to damage wonder of you the flow of calamity protects itself by stopping the attack at the source and act four is seemingly stopped section two do you believe in gravity the spin of good fortune is scattered by the calamity the reason tusk's fourth act is able to pierce anything including dimensional barriers is that its infinite rotation travels through the power of gravity in jojo gravity isn't only the force that binds the universe at the largest scales it also refers to all the forces that bind matter together to the connections between people and to the powers of time and fate within the story it isn't simply a metaphor either as the climax of stone ocean sees poochie using a place with a specific amount of gravity to gain what might be the most powerful faith manipulated stand made in heaven a stand which speeds up time gravity in jojo represents every form of connection and influence the physical force of gravity simply being a particularly pure version of it gravitational forces exerted by the sun determine the path planets take in the sky and the gravity exerted between people's lives determines the course those lives will take even with the power of tusk johnny's nail bullet could have never truly attacked the calamity energy nothing which exists within the reason and logic of the world can beat wonder of u's form and for something to defeat that flow of logic it would have to be something which does not exist in the world something like gravity which can cross even the barriers that divide one universe from another for the infinite rotation to reach wonder of you the attack would have to shed all physical form and all logical connection to the pursuit of the stand when johnny dies tusk dies with him but their gravity their influence does not tusk's spin is infinite and should never end not bound by the limitations of people or stance the infinite rotation is free to exist purely as gravity the connections between things the powers involved in johnny's death create autumn leaves as mentioned earlier which ensures that the legend of johnny joestar is remembered for the next century johnny's noble sacrifice is also the first in what becomes a tradition among the higashikata family no longer would the family curse claim their children now parents could use the ground by the meditation pine to sacrifice themselves instead echoes of johnny's original sacrifice the family commemorates this by always renaming the oldest male in the family to noriski the name of their ancestor who competed in a steel ball run and by using names that begin with joe for their men perhaps most importantly george joestar lives on and it is through him the johnny's spirit and his stand powers passed on to future generations these things survive and perhaps within those connections the infinite rotation continues manifesting itself in nearly invisible ways as coincidences in the shadows of calamity from a different perspective the golden spin of good fortune sheds its light in 1941 lucy steele visits japan in search of the rokaka guthries which can allow for a certain type of equivalent exchange within one body the damaged body part is healed but another body part turns to stone and becomes useless we don't know how or when lucy first learned of this fruit but she likely has tracked it down due to her old connection to johnny she has followed rumors of a fruit company importing foreign fruits into morio and found reports of mysterious disappearances in a nearby orchard the plan is to investigate the lucy is dealing with a lung disease and her health is declining on arrival lucy's bags are stolen but the seeming bit of misfortune is inverted when the thief is stopped by joseph joston johnny's grandson who throws his guetta as a weapon to stop the thief joseph explains to lucy the local lore behind this radio gaga incident as the disappearances are known and agrees to accompany her to the area this meeting turns out to be crucial when lucy is attacked by a rock animal shaped like a rail and is only saved by joseph and his stan and his geta the chance meeting results in lucy getting close to her goal but then she sees toru carrying a part of a rokakaka beyond some trees wonder of usability causes lucy's condition to suddenly worsen which in turn forces her to return home to america a worried joseph in tow the flow of calamity ensures that she can never return to pursuit toru as the united states enters world war ii shortly thereafter straining joseph and lucy until after she passes away although the calamity ends up rebuffing lucy's direct attention through her chance encounter with joseph her efforts are not lost not only does she survive the incident but through these events joseph ends up marrying a woman from the speedwagon foundation named susie q before moving back to japan it is probably because of this family connection that joseph and susie's daughter holly joe sarkira ends up doing research on the rokakuka even before she has any direct contact with a rock human holly's own children yoshikage and kay inherits incredibly powerful stamps and they both have a hand in the destruction of wonder of you there is another far less direct far more coincidental connection that results from joseph and lucy's chance meeting joseph's ever relevant geta is left behind on the field and is later found by a young boy joseph's name written in kanji sticks in that boy's head and when in 1991 his daughter is left to raise a child on her own he suggests a particular reading of those kanji as the child's name josefumi it's unknown if josefunikujo has a blood tie to johnny he could through his absent father sadofumi but perhaps his indirect link to joseph and further interaction with the joestars is enough to grant him the joestar birth monkey bears after all we see a similar thing happen in part six although there the circumstances involved may be a bit more extreme either way josephumi suffers misfortune in his life abandoned by his father and neglected by his mother josephumi nearly drowns as a child at the hospital josephumi's life is saved by holly who gets your chicago to use this incredibly precise exploding bubble stand killer queen to destroy a blood vessel blockage in joseph luna's brain yet another life saved because of the events in 1941. and less directly the events in 1901 through this confluence of cascading coincidences owing to the fortune of the golden spin josephumi's life was saved by the daughter of his namesake perhaps it is because of this fortunate connection that josephumi ends up with a stand soft and wet which produces bubbles that are superficially similar to killer queens though their ability is different the form of a stance certainly suggests that josephumi has inherited the joestar spirits but it's not just the joestar side of the family that brushes with calamity when joven higashikata the eldest son three generations after johnny's time begins to experience the effects of the rock disease as a child it's in the middle of a period of violent bully this causes him to accidentally awaken and use his stand speed king speed king can build up heat at a point and release it all at once a very dangerous ability which fatally wounds one of the bullies jobin's mother kato covers the accent up and uses the dying child as a recipient for jobin's disease jobin takes his mother's example to heart and learns to be ruthless these events would eventually be revealed landing kato in jail and leading to a division in the family also around this time a fruit farmer living near the higashikata grounds goes to investigate a rock insect belonging to toru and gets swept up in the flow of calamity the farmer dies in a landslide leaving behind an orphan's son raymond mizuku who is aided by noriska higashikata iv jovin's father and goes on to become his personal bondness and later a crucial ally here too we see fortune as an offshoot of a calamity toru isn't completely passive either he has by this time formed an organization of rock humans to help him research and distribute the rokaka cup rock humans are hard to organize because their lonesome childhoods as determined by their life cycle and their long periods of vulnerable hibernation tend to make them distrustful of others but torah's abilities and leadership seem to have been sufficient to bring them in line it is made clear though that there is no friendship in this group rather toru describes himself as the lone rock on top of the others he alone enduring and preserving all the memories of the world during his college years jobin befriends the rock human architect yotsuyu yagiyama and through him he starts an association with the distribution branch of toru's organization this leads joven down a darker path a path he has been primed for thanks to the tragedies in his young life one where the higashikadas would acquire power by dealing misery to others yet ultimately this relationship would prove disastrous for the raw kids meanwhile the hospital where holly was conducting her rokakaka research is taken over by the research branch of the rokakaka organization she is slowly poisoned with the fruit creating tiny exchanges within her body that progressively turn more and more of her into stone the overall effect is very similar to the rock disease causing memory loss and hardened skin calamity threatens the joe stark heroes and the higashikatas at every turn and the results of good fortune are scattered and unified without some kind of intervention toru's power of calamity would continue unchallenged section 3 righteous actions born of reality the spin is reborn we should talk a bit more about what tusk was and what the spin is the spin is a special way of rotating an object which causes it to spin for a long time and creates special vibrations that allow a user to manipulate objects and living things in extremely precise and physics-breaking ways moreover it seems somewhat divine in nature most clearly alluded to in jesus statement everything rotates if it's circular which he says in response to being asked by joseph of arimathea if he will ever see jesus again this he pairs with a map to where his body parts will be scattered in the future and as we have seen those separate parts were gathered together again a cycle we first see the spin being used by gyro zepelli through his steel balls but for the purposes of jojolian the most relevant spin user is johnny through his stand tusk tusk is a stand granted to johnny by the saints corpse and for most of part 7 johnny loses access to his stand if he is not in possession of a corpse part at first tusk only allows johnny to channel the spin into his nails shooting them out like boats but after he learns to spin his nails according to the golden ratio found in nature by gyrodells with steel balls he gains acts 2. a bullet hole created by tusk act 2 moves homing in on the original target of the nail bolt this ability hints at tusk's connection to fortune since the homing bullet holes are a form of equivalent exchange they can redirect harm like the corpse's wound relocation the similarities between these two abilities are made clear when johnny uses act 2 to exchange a wound the corpse was relocating to his heart act 2 carries the damage away shifting it onto a tree instead to gain act 3 johnny shoots himself thus subjecting his body to an equivalent exchange this act lets him enter the holes his stand creates letting him occupy his space within tusk's rotation it's after this point that tusk truly becomes johnny's as he no longer needs to be in possession of the corpse to access the stand this left johnny prying to achieve the final form of his stand a horse galloping at its natural pace can produce the energy of the golden rotation and by adding the second source of spin to their own a spin user can create the highest power of rotation when gyro uses this rotation with the steel balls it results in ball breaker a stand power capable of attacking even through love train aging its target this is an example of the spin's command over time and hence gravity however that power is defeated when the steel ball passes through love train's golden light causing it to no longer be a sphere and hence no longer capable of the perfect spin when johnny uses this power it is not bound by the physical form of the steel ball only his nail bullets which channel his standpower and this results in an attack that cannot be stopped tusk act iv after gyro's death johnny manages to achieve act 4 and he shoots funny valentine with it valentine retreats behind love train and although the barrier seems to block most of the damage at first act 4 is not deflected it clings to the barrier and as valentine watches horrified johnny's stand finds a gap in the barrier and starts wrenching it apart through great effort the stand breaks into the space within the light and manages to strike valentine's stand dirty deeds done dirt cheap after this valentine uses d4c's ability to manipulate dimensions to try to avoid the consequences of johnny's stamp passing his memories and stand onto another version of himself but the president's fate was sealed as soon as he was subjected to the infinite rotation no matter how many universes he crosses or how many versions of him are pulled into the situation tusk's rotation never stops chasing funny valentine the events i have described so far seem to be like tusk clinging to the outside of love train after johnny's death tusk's gravity kept manifesting his good fortune and although wonder of you continued to scatter this influence away the golden spin clung to the world at the edges of the calamity's defensive ability the close parallels between the part 2 and part 8 versions of joseph joestar suggests that the latter may have inherited the spin from johnny just as part 2 joseph inherited the ripple from jonathan joston joseph's stand may be a manifestation of this having a similar appearance to hermit purple which conducted the ripple joseph's own grandson yoshikaga kira may have also inherited this power visible in his stance bubbles which are ideal spherical conduits for the spin josefumi likewise seems to have also inherited this kind of spin stand if indeed that's what these are tusk's gravity is also present in less direct ways among the other members of the kira and higashikata families who carry different aspects of johnny's spirit and as taurus minions close in that invisible power searches for a gap it all begins with flying fish in the south sea in 2009 one such fish causes an accident on a cargo ship that leads that ship's doctor yoshikai kira to discover bleeding garden rocks these rocks were actually aisha danjiyama a rock human from the distribution branch of the rokakaka organization in his dormant state once on land yoshikagi investigates and soon he finds out about the rokakaka fruit this is of course the same fruit that has been making his mother sick but ignorant of that yoshikaga believes that the fruit may be able to cure her illness he enlists the help of joseph fumi who is happy to do anything he can to save holly as he owes her his life with the use of josephumi's stand soft and wet which has the power to produce bubbles that bind things together they are able to replace a branch of the rokakaka plant with a fake and graft the real one onto a tree to grow more fruits unbeknownst to them the tree that they have grafted the branch onto is on the miraculous higashikata grounds this deception works for months but when the 2011 earthquake hits japan walleyes rise up around mario a representation of the land's holy power and tusks enduring influence and the rocakaga plant withers from this the rock humans realize that they have been tricked and that a branch has been stolen somehow i'll be honest i never really understood that part anyway members of the distribution branch track down josefumi and yoshikage and corner them on a boat wherein tamakidamo uses his stand vitamin c to disable and torture them yoshikage encourages josefumi to flee without him as he doesn't judge his own wounds to be survivable then he uses his killer queen's sheer heart attack to save josephumi yoshikaigehira goes so far as to shield josephine from the explosion with his body causing shrapnel to be embedded deep into his skull josephumi however determined to save holly's son manages to drag yoshikaga's body to where the grafted fruit was though he has to fight off the aphix twins in the process when josephumi feeds kiera the fruit he discovers that it has mutated grafting done by soft and wet has combined the properties of the land with the properties of the fruit creating a new rococo fruit that allows for equivalent exchanges between people this new fruit is in a way a unification of the legacy that johnny left behind the ground of morio and the influence of his descendant's quest moreover josefumi himself and hence's stand exist only due to the good fortune of having met holly this fortune carried to him via kanji written on a forgotten geta makes josephumi's fate a factor that could have never been accounted for as he himself says ever since the day he should have drowned josefuni has not really existed anywhere he is not bound up tightly in the chain of logic that makes up the world this is the gap that the rotation widens josephumikujo chooses to sacrifice himself for yoshikagakira willing to exchange away everything in his body he throws his all into this hook despite all the evidence pointing to yoshikage being beyond the point of help when funny valentine was explaining himself to johnny joestar he claimed that all the deaths in the steel ball run were necessary sacrifices to achieve the goal of the corpse and in this moment with this double sacrifice made in faith and motivated by love an aftershock of the earthquake breaks the ground that josephumi and yoshikage are on and they tumble into the blessed ground a calamity both yoshikage and josefumi are buried in a sense they die a miracle one of the body survives but the compounded exchanges are so thorough that it is impossible to say just who survived you this is a new person essentially a person brought into this world miraculously a story was by the calamity's chain of logic as i said earlier it seems to me that both yoshikage and josefumi had inherited the golden spin from joseph who it inherited from johnny their bodies have now also been subjected to an equivalent exchange and this new person has inherited two sources of the golden spin these are all the same requirements fulfilled by johnny to achieve the infinite rotation of his tusk act iv the infinite spin has been reborn without memories without a past this new man is free to act without triggering wonder of you but without any connections how can he begin to act how can he use the flow of good fortune if he does not know of it he reaches out for something to grab onto section 4 that bubble doesn't exist anywhere the attack finds its mark wonder of you's flow of calamity is not only an offensive and defensive ability it can also lead toru to his objective years before the start of jejolian toru comes across a young girl yasuho hirose though she won't be aware of it for quite some time she possesses the stand paisley park which can gather information and move through communication lines toru takes advantage of yasuo's abilities using it to find someone who will fit his goals in the guise of searching for someone specific once she finds medical professional whose disappearance could be easily hid one satoru a kefu he declares that he has found his path it's presumably after this that wonder of you takes on the appearance of satoru akefu and starts running the tg university hospital toru would later manipulate yasuo using rock insects and he dated her in high school after she had forgotten about him this grooming seems to have been motivated both by yasuo's useful ability as well as a twisted impulse towards connection even if it involves the manipulation of a young kid 10 years later yasuo is hiding from her clingy ex-boyfriend yoshu higashikata when she comes across a man half-buried in the ground by a recent aftershock the arm reaching out of the ground is an agent of good fortune tusks gravity which will not only give yasuho an out from yoshi's childish clinginess but will also enable her to fight toru's far more nefarious machinations despite her misgiving she takes pity on the man on the ground and takes his hand thus starting the events of jojolin yazoo and the man form a quick bond and she gives him a name josuke after a dog she used to have she picks his name because she judges him to have a good nature this also happens to be the birth name of nuriske higashikata iv after a sudden ambush in which josuke learns that he is somehow connected to yoshikage kira josuke is adopted by the higashikata family this means that josuke is by coincidence named after his new adoptive father just as josephumi wasn't directly named for joseph during that fight he also becomes aware of his stand the look and name of a stand soft and wet are the same as josefumi's but the power is different soft and wet bubbles have been mixed with killer queens creating bubbles that neither destroy nor bind rather they can plunder things and properties from within what they touch they have also created something else but it will be a long time before josuke realizes this the main plot of the first half of jojolian is josuke forming connections that reveal the past we have already discussed he slowly gains a place in the higashikata family fights and befriends holly's daughter kay who is undercover as the higashikatamate going by the name nijimura he faces the perils of shakedown road and he eliminates the members of the distribution branch from this he learns how the kirin higashikata families are related about equivalent exchange and the role it had in creating him the story of johnny joestar as well as the existence of the rokaka and the events that happened right before he was born once the existence of the new rokakaka is revealed josuke now solidly allied with noriske enlists the help of raima mazuku to help identify the branch that the fruit came from the research branch goes on the offensive seeking to use the new rokakaka themselves and going so far as to attack mitsuba higashikata jovan's wife at the hospital jobin for his own part tries to get ahead in this struggle by secretly swapping the branches of the rokaka with the help of paper moon king the stand of his only son surugi which can take away people's ability to tell objects apart he successfully hides the branch at the higashikata home then after dismantling the organization and reforging the connections he had inherited josuke and company finally learn of the existence of the head doctor they pursue him but in short order wonder view rebuffs rai josuke and yasuda the flow of calamity starts to bring the rokakaka to toru through ogero's unhinged inclinations but jovin kills him and his girlfriend to keep that from happening he also tells his mother kado about the niro kakuka and she tells him to keep it hidden from his father joven's interference with the flow of wonder of you however would not go unpunished soon more calamities arrive attacking mitsuba and triggering surrey's curse yasuo also arrives at sea and in the ensuing chaos noriski finds out about the murders his son committed he uses his stand king nothing which can visualize smells to reveal jobin's crimes but jobin burns his neck incapacitating him and splintering the family joven attempts to retaliate against the calamity energy but this of course results in near-ends and death it is some time before the characters involved start to realize the full breath and power of wonder of usability until they have managed to come close to it to halfway enter into its defenses all involved suffer heavy injuries as they attempt to cross the last stretch josuke and yasuko only recover thanks to the rokakaka and presumably ry's injuries are able to be healed thanks to a stand doggy style which allows him to manipulate his own body like strength after josuke is rescued from his injuries by holly he resolves to save her life accepting her as his mother and taking up josephumi's and joe chicago's quest following her advice instead of pursuing the head doctor he makes the doctor chase after him leading him to the rokakaka lab he has laid a trap in this room using a stand and ry also makes it there before the head doctor but just like in the steel ball run to go any further sacrifices must be made yoshihigashikata has already sacrificed his own arm to restore yasuo's via the new rokaka but when gyasio realizes tori's true nature she tries to inform josuke which triggers wonder of you this manifests in joshua's intense regret and jealousy which leads to him attacking yasuo in an attempt to stop her phone call yasuho pushes through and once the call is made it causes a piece of a plane to fall towards her the call is to kenijimura who is at the hospital knowing that holly had used her brief moments of lucidity to help josuke he decides to take the phone to him despite knowing this will trigger wonder of you in the meantime rai has closed the distance to the head doctor and after realizing that his father was killed by the flow of calamity he launches an attack this results in just case bubbles shredding his body this is a calamity as the wounds are fatal but rai himself points out that it is also good fortune for in that moment rai realizes that within josuke's stand there is an invisible rotation a power of good fortune that originates from the golden spin after rise sacrifice k arrives on the sea just as the calamity triggers her sustainability born this way which creates a freezing wind when an object is open this activation causes some of josuke's bubbles to freeze and one hurts wonder of u's head proving their ability to do so a calamity immediately kills kit but the phone makes it to josuke and thanks to that paisley park is able to tell josuke about toru josuke at last is aware of both the greater power of his stand and the true identity of his enemy in part 5 golden wind several members of bruno bucharati's gang die while trying to obtain the arrow which will allow them to defeat king crimson's ability to erase time giorno giovanna states that even if his friends were killed their actions have not been annihilated righteous actions born of truth will never be erased it is the superficial nature of evil that will be annihilated in the end just like jorno's teammates josuke's friends have perished but their wills have been passed on to him thanks to them at last the invisible rotation has made it inside wonder of u's defenses the rotation that was started by johnny 110 years ago has shed all connections to its origin traveling through fate along just finished life which should not truly exist anywhere the resulting power itself also does not exist anywhere and not being part of the chain of reason within the world these bubbles can go beyond that logic soft and wet go beyond a standborn of dreams that outlive memories faced with this incomprehensible power wonder of you runs away though by now it is too late it is wonder of you and toru that are caught in the flow of the invisible spin josuke's next shot misses the head doctor but toru is undone by his own past paisley park is a stand that can travel across electrical lines and communication channels in other words it travels through certain types of connection and soft and wet's invisible rotation can go beyond these connections traveling through gravity as it already has been for over a century yazoo stand guides the shot back to her location where it comes out of her phone and pierces through toru also causing the plane part to barely miss her toru desperately attacks yasuo attempting an exchange to save his life but a second shot of gobion guided by paisley park rips right through his body fatally wounding him the ability which allowed toru to find his ideal identity has now led to his demise this flow has not finished either the force of gobion launches toru into the higashikata garage where karo higashikata weeps over the death of her son joke toru tries to provoke kado telling her that jobin's dreams were not realized in his life but kado does not take the bait she does not try to take vengeance for her son which would have triggered wonder of you and allowed toru to exchange them instead she brings sarugi out of her stand making him the other part of the exchange and feeds him sap from the crushed rokakaka branch tilting the exchange in tsurugi's favor this is an attack and one review triggers but it's too late to say toru kado is the final victim of the calamity the final sacrifice to end the curse toru desperately begs yasuo for help but he dies while seeing a memory play out before his eyes toru always said that in the end all that remained were dreams and memories he believed it was his role alone in the world to witness those memories but now he too fades the surviving members of the higashikata family gather around noriski in the garage including a newly cured sarudi nuriski's injuries don't run deep as jobin did not intend to actually kill him and surugi declares that he's going to be fine just then the headless doctor reappears from underneath a car wonder of you moves on to narisky making his injuries worse yasuo at last realizes the logic of the calamity is infinite a natural law that exists outside of toru just before wonder if you can finish noriski off however the ambulances from the hospital arrive and josuke along with them he takes aim and fires the calamity has been driven into this corner by the sacrifices made by the higashikatas and the kiras inheritors of the spin of good fortune created by johnny's original sacrifice now the rotation has gone beyond johnny beyond bonds of blood and fortune beyond memory and now thanks to the enduring selfless spirits of the two families soft and wet will finally go beyond the logic of the calamities the shot hits home wonder of you disappears and the curse is at last broken conclusion there are still questions left unanswered by this interpretation many details throughout julian are left hanging unlikely most will not come back some are remnants of abandoned storylines while others may have been purely atmospheric elements some questions are a little more overarching them clearly there is some sort of shared nature between the rokaka the rock disease and rock humans but the origin of this connection isn't clear looking towards the future holly's fate seems uncertain she is still sick at the end of the part but she hasn't died and the story leaves her in an ambiguous state this is a strange lack of resolution either positive or negative given josuke's strong declaration about saving her perhaps we will never learn about the end of holly joe starkira but i think there's a chance we will in the upcoming part 9 which right now has the title of jojo lanes after all jojolin ends on a note that encourages hope earlier i called soft and wet a standborn of dreams that outlived memories that description was inspired by a conversation that happened in the last chapter of jujot after breaking the curse josuke and yasuo will come across josefumikujo's mom josuke isn't inclined to talk to her as he thinks that since he has never recovered any of josephumi or kira's memories he is neither of them he is josuke the man who came from the ground moreover he doesn't believe she would still look for josephumi he also disagrees that josuke's identity is solely his memories rather she believes that dreams could be even more fundamental than memories josuke carries the final dreams of josefumi and yoshikagi and he also carries with him the wills of johnny joestar raima mizuku ke nijamura and perhaps even unknown others righteous actions born of truth are never erased they go on to become dreams shaping the world even after one's memories fade from it to give josuke hope she retrieves pictures from inside josephumi's mother's phone pictures she has been using to search for her son in the end the highest power the holy corpse and the rokakaka ever possess was the power of equivalent exchange every bit of fortune gained by those methods through divinity and natural law brings corresponding misery but perhaps dreams can do better and through dreams that are shared between people things which cannot be seen are created things that can go beyond even the calamitous logic of this world so too long didn't watch what is soft and wet go beyond other than tusk act 4 persevering god i'm an idiot hey thank you so much for watching my video if
