History Manga / JoJosBizarreAdventureJoJolion

** [[spoiler:Due to him being a rock human, Tooru is able to have the appearance of a late-teen to young adult, even though he has been alive and active as early as 1941, making him at least 87.]]

* MundaneFantastic: The general populace of non-Stand users are aware of a few Stand effects, such as Milagro Man's "curse" or the instant transportation effects of Les Feuilles. There isn't a Speedwagon Foundation to look into these sorts of abnormalities, so these Stands are treated as pretty normal by people in the know.

* DeliberateInjuryGambit: [[spoiler:Josuke intentionally gets injured by the Wonder Of U so he would be admitted to the TG University Hospital in order to continue his pursuit of said Head Doctor. This also spares Rai from the Stand's attack as his attention is shifted from chasing the Head Doctor to making sure that Josuke receives immediate medical attention.]]

* BananaPeel: Aisho Dainenjiyama falls victim to this trope when he slips on a banana peel created by Paisley Park.

!Four testicles, four eyes, two tongues, and two sets of tropes:

*** Chapter 97: [[spoiler: Any assumption that Jobin is the main antagonist completely thrown out the window...because [[TheWorfEffect he's swiftly killed by the real one]], who is ''Tooru, Yasuho's ex''.]] Making matters worse is that [[spoiler: its been ambiguous if he acutally died for a few chapters.]]

** Shortly after the fight against Poor Tom, Soft and Wet's bubbles pop. [[spoiler: Rai notices that these "bubbles" are actually strings spinning incredibly fast.]]

One day, university student Yasuho Hirose discovers a young man with amnesia buried in the ground near the Wall Eyes and resolves to help him discover his identity. After an apparent false lead regarding a ship's doctor named Yoshikage Kira who they discover has died, Yasuho nicknames the man Josuke and pulls strings to get him temporarily adopted by the influential Higashikata family.

* GenreShift: Early on, the story is primarily a slice-of-life of life story not too dissimilar to Part 4 but with heavier elements of mystery, primarily focusing on Josuke's efforts to find his identity, his budding relationship with Yasuho, and members of the Higashikata family. Following the HalfwayPlotSwitch, it becomes more of a conspiracy thriller as the cast battles against (or with) the Rock Humans, who hide themselves in human society to do their machinations. And for the penultimate chapter and the first half of the final chapter, the story turns into a straight up ''[[Series/TheXFiles X-Files]]''-esque horror, before going back to slice-of-life for the second half of the final chapter.

** A more glaring example is Yasuho's flashback to her first meeting with [[spoiler:Tooru]] at summer camp, where she's seen looking up beaches in Okinawa on her smartphone and later [[spoiler:(presumably with the assistance of Paisley Park) successfully finds a medical practitioner (Satoru Afeku) to the standards that Tooru's looking for.]] The problem is, given that Satoru's stated as being 10 years younger (79 rather than 89), this flashback presumably takes place in 2001, at which point smartphones would hardly even exist, with very few of those being advanced enough for such actions as searching specific locations on the Internet or finding actual profiles of people. It's possible that all of this is thanks to Paisley Park, but [[spoiler:Tooru]] does not seem surprised for what would be unheard of in those times. Perhaps it's an AlternateHistory where technological advancement occurred much earlier?

* In the very first chapter, Yasuho manages to snap a picture of a soap bubble coming out of Josuke's shoulder, but this bubble can't be seen anywhere else. Over ’’a hundred’’ chapters later, Josuke discovers [[spoiler: an ability to create invisible soap bubbles from his shoulder which can only be controlled by Paisley Park through Yasuho's phone.]]

** The final flashback all on its own strongly parallels the Garden of Eden. [[spoiler:A man and woman go to an orchard where a special fruit is supposed to grow. The woman wants the fruit and is lured in by the CompellingVoice of a creature explicitly compared to a snake (despite exactly resembling a ''guardrail''). While they do not get to the fruit in this story, they are still forced to flee and find themselves unable to return due to forces well beyond their control]]. In a very roundabout way, [[spoiler:clothing even tends to find itself]] destroyed when in the area.

* GardenOfEden: Similar to the Biblical references of Part 7 dealing with the corpse of Jesus, Part 8 has quite a few references to the story of Genesis. Josuke, like Adam, is said to be the man who came from the soil. A good chunk of the plot also revolves around a fruit (the coincidences resulting in its creation once being attributed to divine providence) that the pursuit of which only seems to cause [[spoiler:further misery]]. When the fruit is finally [[spoiler:"consumed" for good]] at the end of the Part, it's by the actions of [[spoiler:a woman who explicitly says she's taking on the "sin."]] The final flashback even manages to show that the orchard the fruit was growing in at one point was being guarded by a [[spoiler:snake-like rock animal]] and involves [[spoiler:a man and woman who are forced to flee the area]] and become unable to return despite their desire to.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Tooru is defeated and Tsurugi is finally freed of the Higashikata family curse. But the Higashikata family had to go through a TraumaCongaLine in the process, losing both Jobin and Kaato. Josuke meanwhile fails to find a cure for Holly Joestar's deteriorating condition, while Rai and Kei (the latter being the only other family he has) are also dead. Nevertheless, Josuke finally comes to terms with his identity and finds a new family in the Higashikatas who have come to accept him as one of their own.]]

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The penultimate chapter does not focus on Josuke, Yasuho, or the Higashikatas, but is rather [[spoiler:a WholeEpisodeFlashback to 1941 that focuses on [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun Lucy Steel]] and a young man named Fumi-kun (possibly Sadafumi Kujo), as they unravel the cause behind mysterious disappearances near the Higashikata Orchard.]]

** [[spoiler: A darker version of this occurs when Jobin murders his father Norisuke, and he briefly holds him this way.]]
