Alright, JoJo fans! Let's talk about everyone's favorite trickster grandpa, Joseph Joestar, in Diamond is Unbreakable, a.k.a. Part 4.
The Not-So-Golden Years
So, how old is this seasoned Stand user? He's around 79 years old during the events of Part 4, which take place in 1999.
Yes, you read that right. Almost eighty and still causing trouble! Think about it: the man has been battling vampires, ancient gods, and everything in between for decades.
It's amazing he's still standing, let alone participating in bizarre adventures.
From Battle-Hardened to...Baby Hunter?
Remember his youthful days in Part 2, Battle Tendency? Full of youthful energy and as unpredictable as the wind, he was the ultimate strategist.
Now, fast forward to Part 4, and we find him...well, still unpredictable, but in a whole different way.
Let's not forget his mission to find an invisible baby – Shizuka Joestar. This leads to some hilarious and heartwarming moments.
Seeing this battle-hardened veteran cooing over a baby and trying to figure out her Stand is pure comedic gold.
Senility or Strategic Genius?
Joseph's age definitely shows in Part 4. He's a bit forgetful, a tad confused, and prone to some... questionable decisions.
But is it just old age, or is there still a spark of the old genius in there? We see hints of his former strategic brilliance from time to time.
He might not be as quick on his feet, but his experience and unique perspective still prove invaluable.
"Your next line is..." – still works, even at 79!
A Touch of Heartbreak and Humor
Part 4 also touches upon some more serious notes for Joseph. We see the consequences of his past actions, specifically his infidelity.
Meeting his illegitimate son, Josuke Higashikata, is a complex situation. The scene gives us a glimpse into a more vulnerable side of Joseph.
He truly wants to connect with Josuke and be a father figure, even at this late stage in his life.
Despite his flaws, it's clear that Joseph has a good heart, and he genuinely cares about his family.
Old Dog, New Tricks (and Babies)
Joseph Joestar in Diamond is Unbreakable is a fascinating character. He’s a reminder that even heroes get old.
He demonstrates that even in your twilight years, you can still have adventures, learn new things, and make meaningful connections.
He shows us that growing old doesn't mean giving up on life; it just means embracing a different kind of adventure.
So next time you rewatch Part 4, remember that Joseph is more than just an old man. He's a legend, a trickster, a father, and proof that age is just a number when you're a Joestar!
