Giorno Giovanna in Stone Ocean is a concept
I've had before, but I haven't followed up with it. So, let's see how this plays out.
Now originally, the idea was Giorno Vs. Pucci, but this is after that now. How does the world
continue now that Giorno has stopped Pucci? With GER in mind, Giorno has the upper hand
in every situation. So now, while Giorno could get rid of Pucci outright, he's the
type to get an entire scope of the case. Interrogating everyone at the scene doesn't seem
like a Giorno thing because I think he'd only want answers from two people at max. Talking
to Pucci would only annoy him because while Pucci is trying to finagle a way to win, Giorno is
just trying to get answers. And when he realizes he can't do anything, Giorno, I imagine his
mind stops working because of the immense gap between the two. So the only people
to talk to are Jolyne and Jotaro. Jolyne, at this moment, would probably be like, "Yo, that
guy over there is out of his mind and has been trying to kill us this whole time." And Jotaro
will specify a bit here and there, but I imagine there would be at least one mention of Dio.
Now that's going to trigger something Giorno because that picture of Dio is labeled
in the manga. He knows his name. This description of Dio from Jotaro would
be a scathing review of his character, but I don't think this would be something
that Giorno would be slighted by too much. He might show Jotaro and Jolyne the photo
of Dio and explain that he's his father, but since Giorno can recognize someone's
intent and resolve by doing something as simple as interacting with them, I can't
imagine he'd attack any of the Joestars here. It would be a semi-deep hit to Giorno, but at
this age, he's matured a lot by now, and it's not in his character to defend the evil nature of
someone who has never participated in his life. NOW PUCCI, ON THE OTHER HAND! There's a lot he can
do. But imagining it right now, he'd probably be starstruck as Giorno is the spitting image
of Dio. Yeah, sure, he's worked with Dio's other children, but this is a power that
stands above him in the same way Dio did. I cannot see Pucci attacking Giorno when
he's hugely starstruck, but he may be swayed when he hears that Giorno isn't defending
Dio or taking his side on this. So, I'll say Pucci tries Giorno one
last time, and GER isn't having it. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Pucci is gone, and now this is a significantly
different world. Giorno is connected with Jolyne and Jotaro, meaning we have every Joestar since
Joseph. In the world of JoJo, what would that mean? Well, narratively speaking, I think that
Araki would have to introduce another big villain to close it out since Giorno halted Pucci's
enormous presence. This situation is terrifying because unless Araki pulls another problem where
it's like, "Oh hey, this guy has always been there, " we'd need a complete introduction of a
new guy. Pucci was an out-of-nowhere thing that Araki made to work because it's more believable
than whatever following situation we conjure up. I promise y'all that having Giorno in Stone
Ocean actually does more damage than good. Imagine this build-up of conflict for
volumes on volumes, episodes on episodes, just for someone who wasn't here in
the story to come through and fix it. It would be unsatisfying.
But let's keep this pushing. Everyone goes home, Jotaro and Jolyne fix up
their relationship, Giorno continues his job as leader of Passione, and Josuke is still doing
Josuke stuff. At this point, the situations I see in the future for these characters would
be on-par with what goes on with Rohan Kishibe. I wouldn't see this as a bad thing, but it
wouldn't be as eventful as a whole part of JoJo. If we were to make a part for JoJo, I can tell
you what we'd have on the table if we continued using this universe. There's Shizuka Joestar,
who isn't related by blood, but would be the old option out of the family. If not Shizuka, the
protagonist would have to be one of the children of the Joestars from parts 3 through 6. Meaning Jolyne could have a sibling if Jotaro got back on
the market, Josuke could have a kid, Giorno might adopt one because my headcanon is that just seems
like his character, or Jolyne could have one. If that were to happen, I think it would be
possible that the next enemy would be someone who has been watching the Joestars not because
of their actions but because of their connection to the Speedwagon foundation. So I think it's
an interesting situation to work with because that would put the new Joestar in the position
that Polnareff was in against Diavolo, but now on a grander scale. Joseph would hopefully
be dead by this point, and Jotaro would be too old of a user to be in action like
that. At that point, all you have to do is make sure that Giorno gets no notice
of this, then Jolyne and Josuke have their connections with the Speedwagon foundation
compromised because of this new evil force. My philosophy with this is that
what Diavolo did was so effective; it's not impractical for someone to do
this with just more numbers. Remove their resources and stack a bunch of your best stand
users to take out each Joestar individually. Giorno wouldn't be possible unless they come out
with a new user that's on-par, but I feel like if we did have a major antagonist to this, they
should be able to make Giorno a significant loss. If the idea is that the new Joestar is supposed
to take over in this part, having a Franklin Richards situation where the kid is significantly
stronger than their family wouldn't be that bad. I want to make this more of a
story rather than an outline, but I think it's up to y'all if you want to see
this fiddled around with in the future.
