Fridge Brilliance
- The Corpse Parts assigned to the JoJos have some significance...
- Jotaro has the body. As he is the first character you play as, he is essentially laying the groundwork for the story to happen.
- Giorno has the head. He becomes the "head" of Passione.
- Josuke has one of the arms. Diamond Is Unbreakable's ultimate antagonist is a serial killer whose fetish revolves around hands.
- Jonathan has the eyes, allowing him to see the legacy he created, that and his AU counterpart had the eyes as well.
- Joseph has the ears. His greatest feats in Battle Tendency revolve around taunting his opponents through an auditory-based trick, like his signature "Next you'll say...".
- Jolyne has the other arm. Her Stand revolves around turning her body into strings.
- Johnny has the legs. He's paraplegic.
- Hat Josuke has the heart. For obvious reasons.
- DIO having the Spine also works. DIO counts as an unofficial JoJo due to having the body of Jonathan and the blood of Joseph. Out of all the JoJos, DIO has the most aggressive personality. In other words: he has a spine.
- Not only that, but the characters who have the Corpse Parts after DIO steals them have some meaning too.
- D'Arby has one of the arms, and is a cheater.
- Will and Gyro have the heart, and are the ones to start their respective JoJo's adventures, and support them throughout.
- Buccellati has the ears, and acts as an advisor to Giorno.
- Kira and Kosaku have the other arm, and as stated before, are a hand fetishist.
- Weather Report has the head, and has amnesia.
- Diavolo has the legs, since he's the only one who can move in King Crimson's deleted time.
- Pucci has the eyes, since he wants to see heaven.
- Joshu's object interaction is picking them up, even larger items like trash bins, himself. This seems a bit odd when it's mostly the superpowered, such as vampires, or a stand that picks them up, but with the artistic drift, it's been said that Josuke 8 is supposed to be built as Josuke 4 or possibly more, and Joshu appears to be at least twice as big as him. If he were drawn in the style of the older characters, he would most likely be massive, so it would make sense he would most likely have the bodily strength to lift and throw large objects.
- Why does DIO only have a unique Dual Heat Attack with Pucci when Pucci has Made In Heaven? Because DIO wanted to create Made In Heaven to achieve his vision, and likely thought out strategies for using its power.
- Why didn't Jonathan fight Heaven DIO at the end? It was his rivalry with Dio that started this all, right? Wouldn't it have been fitting for him to be the one to finish it? Well, it could be that as Jotaro showed in the ending, Heaven DIO was still vulnerable to Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap's casual Never Shall The Selves Meet aspect. Since Heaven DIO, as evidenced by his neck scar, probably still had Jonathan's body, and Jonathan lacked a Stand to which to attack DIO without using his body, any attack below the neck would have resulted in mutual annihilation. Rather anticlimactic, wouldn't it have been?
- Considering Jonathan's character and the ways that the series and its fights work, it would be the exact opposite. Jonathan is the one to defeat Heaven DIO despite the anticlimax. Jonathan is the white knight of the family. He is nice, kind, courteous, and will only attack if he is defending himself or anybody in general. But that way of defense also leaves him with a self-sacrifice complex. He will always take the hit without thinking of a way of guarding himself first. Another reason it would have been fitting for Jonathan to be the one to defeat Heaven DIO is because Jonathan, a Badass Normal fighting the literal god Heavenly DIO would have fit perfectly with the main theme of the series, being that no matter what is thrown at a man, his true power is the ability to take it and move until what they are protecting is safe; Jonathan just going for a mutual kill would have been the most intense fight any Joestar ever experienced and the one which damaged that one the most to the point that Mutual Assured Destruction was the only way to win, thus even more perfect for Jonathan. On the other hand, by the time Jonathan was taken from his story, that means Phantom Blood wasn't over and... the JoJoverse needs Jonathan in order for it to continue existing or at the very least so that the timeline isn't fucked up.
- Fridge Heartwarming: Lisa Lisa and Will Zeppeli both believed Joseph and Jonathan were no longer worthy of their teachings... But not Gyro. Gyro just flat out had his memories of Johnny removed. Kind of sweet to think that there is no reason Gyro would ever turn against Johnny if he knew him. What a loyal friend.
- When the team all end up during the Battle Tendency era, Old Joseph took complete control of the conflict between his younger self and Caesar, and the Pillar Men as well, essentially ending them much sooner than it would tragically lead to. Of course Joseph would take this opportunity to do this, how many times has he played these exact scenarios in his head and wishes they would play out differently?
- The World Over Heaven's ability has a clue to itself in its name, more specifically the part it shares with other Stands. Heaven's Door allows the user to write and alter whatever they want into someone's personal reality. Made in Heaven fast-forwards reality to recreate the world in the way the user wants. Since both of these stands deal with altering perception and reality, it's logical to assume The World Over Heaven has the power to overwrite reality itself.
Fridge Horror
- For the Diamond Is Unbreakable part of the credits, you can see Kosaku Kawajiri walking in the background. Now, which Kawajiri is it?
- A lot of the deceased characters are brought back to life and brainwashed, they were commanded to attack their friends against their own will, and there's nothing they can do about it. The only saving grace is that when they do get healed, the only thing they remember is the last thing they saw before they died... which isn't nice in the slightest.
- It's a bit worse in Kakyoin's case: prior to the beginning of Part 3, he was brainwashed by DIO, and it left an emotional scar on him. At the beginning of story mode, he's brainwashed again, by the same person. A different incarnation of him, but it still counts.
- The ending credits reveal that every major character who died in the series survived (except for maybe Jonathan given he needs to die for Part 3 to happen). Except the screenshots for Parts 1, 2, and 7 take place during the final battle and not after (in Part 2's case, it's not even the final battle, it's the Colosseum battle with Wamuu). While Jotaro used Over Heaven to make them survive the battles they died in, it's entirely possible (like with the above ambiguity regarding which Kosaku Kawajiri survived) that the Zeppelis still might not make it out alive. In fact, Will seems to be injured in Part 1's photo.
