Hello~ Y’all know I love Josuke so here’s my take on it <3
In my opinion, I feel like despite having a lot of physical stamina and a stand that makes it really easy for him to do a job like that, police life just wouldn’t be for him. If anything, fighting threats and enemy stands on the side with help from the SPW seems much easier to me! I also feel like he has a bit of a saviour/hero complex and,,,people like that with jobs like that...let’s just say things tend to get messy sometimes.
Long story short, he could fit virtually any job but I’m a strong advocate for doctor or nurse Josuke specializing in primary care and physical injury!!!
Follow me through the weird journey that occurred in my brain as I thought of Dr. Josuke shenanigans. This was literally so fucking fun thank you anon:
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
-I think, especially after the Kira fight, the last thing he would really want to do is a more combat or command-heavy job like that
- He wouldn’t want to be tied down to it for the rest of his life and would rather use his abilities to heal than be involved in conflict :)
-Hear me out on this—but post-canon he had a fascination with how the human body worked since he could basically rip it apart and put it back together
-He started reading about how all that stuff works, how people naturally heal and everything to do with medicine, and eventually just decided to take classes on it in school, where he got even more passionate about it
-He didn’t exactly miss a lot of school during canon and the time he spent in the hospital after the fight really showed him how all that stuff worked up close
-He watched a lot of people struggle while he was there and realized there was a lot of good he could probably do in the world with his ability
-Studying for a job like that is pretty difficult, but y’all know Jotaro had to take a fair share of the sciences before he specialized in sea life and the two of them bonding while helping Josuke study makes me HAPPY
-Also,,,I don’t know if it's ever specified in the show if Josuke was prominently academically intelligent or not, but I think if he’s passionate enough about learning that kind of stuff he’d be able to do it regardless :)))
-The SPW recruited him for a medical position once he graduated and slowly integrated him into a job at the hospital where he was able to treat non-stand emergencies (although his stand was usually unknown by his co-workers)
-I like to think that Josuke actually met a few stand users while transferring from hospital to hospital who all had some kind of healing ability
-Like once in awhile Josuke would be doing his rounds and a fucking red ghost pops out of one of the other doctors to help stop blood loss and Josuke’s like “WAIT YOU HAVE ONE TOO??” and the doctor is like “YOU CAN SEE IT??” and it's like that Spiderman meme where they’re all pointing at each other like :D
-Stands that replenish fluid or protein? Stands that can stop/speed up clotting or create more blood? Stands that can heal the sick or act like magical painkillers? Stands that control levels like oxygen and co2? They exist and they all gravitated towards this job for a reason and Josuke is amazed
-Some of them were just born with this strange power that made them want to use it for good while others explained that this ghost-like figure just APPEARED one day during work
-Josuke’s favourite doctor friend is a surgeon and during a really fatal emergency surgery her stand just materialized out of nowhere and did some crazy shit like reverse organ failure and now everyone thinks she’s a miracle worker when in reality a beefy pink woman follows her around everywhere and aggressively yells shit like “YOU GET A NEW LIVER” that only she can hear
-Of course he introduces all these guys to Tonio because he thinks Tonio’s mind would be blown BUT IT TURNS OUT TONIO IS WELL-KNOWN IN THE COMMUNITY FROM VOLUNTEERING IN HOSPITAL KITCHENS AROUND THE FUCKING COUNTRY???
-Lets just say there’s this small inner-circle of stand users working in medicine somehow completely under the SPW’s radar and Jotaro was surprised to hear about all the healers that turned out to be doctors and nurses
-Josuke ends up being known as a walking good luck charm where he works because people seem to magically get better when they’re around him and the paramedics start bringing him with them to gruesome scenes where—you guessed it—he’s even more helpful
-He’ll just pop over to the injured at the scene and be like “oh wow they’re all magically not injured at all haha how lucky” and all the other paramedics just stand there like :0
-When Rohan once realized his interview was on the second page of a magazine because DR. FUCKING HIGASHIKATA was on the front cover instead he was LIVID
-Anyone in and out of the hospital can easily tell who he is because of his stupid hair and white lab coat (that he’s started growing accustomed to wearing even outside of work...uh oh...)
-He teases Jotaro so much about his PhD and whenever he introduces him and Joot to people he always refers to himself as “the real doctor” and Jotaro can’t even say anything because he got his PhD because of a fucking starfish
-Also family reunions are really fucking funny because if Josuke just put on a hat he may as well be Jotaro and the two just stare at each other like “...” when they both realize they wore white again that day out of habit
-Dolphin-shaped coat pins? A giant golden protractor on his coat? No. Josuke still has those fucking peace signs and heart pins and YES he sticks them on his coat >:)
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
Side note but I think Jotaro gave Koichi a small portion of the SPW since Joseph can’t really run it anymore and Josuke seemed pretty uninterested rip Jolyne)
Also Tonio definitely took Okuyasu under his wing while Josuke was doing all this shit and he definitely went to culinary school thanks to Tonio and became a chef :)
Also YES Josuke comes over all the time no matter where he is and Okuyasu makes dinner for him and Josuke heals all the cuts on Okuyasu’s hands from when he was a dummy and hurt himself cutting vegetables :3

Ninja Stars
Hey everyone. If you don't know, some of the things I do in my spare time is writing stories mainly crossovers. Just the idea of taking two completely different franchises and fusing it together just entice me. I decided to show you one of my latest works.
Growing up, one of the cartoons I loved watching from my childhood was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles specifically the 2003 incarnation. The characters, story, humor, adventures and even the times when things went dark never took the smile off my face watching it.
Tumblr media
So I decided to take this wonderful incarnation and mix it with something I got into last year...
Tumblr media
Yep. I mixed it with Jojo's Bizarre Adventure of all things. Am I crazy? Yes. Do I regret writing this? No. The big star for this particular fic is none other than our favorite toilet licking wielder of the Chariot card...Jean Pierre Polnareff!
Tumblr media
Without further ado, I present to you guys... Ninja Stars!
He didn't know what he unintentionally signed up for when deciding to live in New York with his friends in the Joestar Family. Jean Pierre Polnareff was a Noble Frenchman who owned a nice estate in his home country of France after his father passed away. He used to have two younger siblings that he loved dearly. His sister Sherry Polnareff and the youngest sister Fleur Marie De Polnareff. Sadly his sisters' fates weren't as good as his.
Sherry was defiled and murdered when he was preparing a meal once she got out of school. For Fleur, she vanished when a terrible storm had hit the land by their estate and she disappeared with it before even turning a year old. Fleur was declared dead since her body was never found and Sherry never got the chance to be a big sister since it was robbed before she turned 5. Tragedy always liked to mess with his family while distrust amongst parents harassed the Joestar Family.
He felt sympathy for his friends Jotaro and Joseph along with their siblings. Their father George having an affair with multiple women before his wife died and said women having children being Giorno, Josuke, Johnny, Josefumi or Gappy and Jolyne. George didn't even know about them until he caught word of multiple teens having their family's birthmark! Giorno's mother and stepfather were abusive, Jolyne's foster parents neglectful and untrusting, Johnny's foster father was abusive and Jotaro's foster father never being there for him. The only ones who honestly had a good parent were the twins Josuke and Gappy though it was hard for Tomoko to care for their needs and herself at times.
George was even harder on Jonathan and Joseph often cruel enforcing manners through starvation or hitting them at times! Even their step siblings Dio and Diego Brando who have shaky relationships with the Joestar siblings at best didn't have much faith in George, and their father was worse than him! It didn't take long for George to be declared not capable to care for his children and was lawfully removed from caring for them. He lost his title to the estate and fortune which went to the siblings so they could live and get the things they needed to live off of.
They were placed in William Zeppeli's care alongside his two sons Caesar and Gyro. Anyway… Joseph figuring France was just digging up old wounds had offered Polnareff to stay at their home in New York until he felt ready to move on. Kakyoin, Avdol and Iggy were also going to be living there so it wasn't going to be that bad. Who was he kidding? When were things ever easy or normal?
The plane from France had finally landed in New York's National Airport. A tall and buff Frenchmen with tall silver hair that reached seven inches high wearing a black one strap shirt, beige pants, broken heart earrings and black expensive Italian boots had walked through the crowded airport with luggage in hand. "Now, where are they? Joseph did say they were here 30 minutes before my plane landed." The Frenchman asked to himself as he looked around the building.
His eyes then landed on a sign that read Jean Pierre Polnareff, his name, in the arms of buff and tall young man with messy brown hair, green eyes and light peach skin wearing a green crop top, fingerless gloves, a scarf, blue jeans and brown boots around his height which was 6'5. Next to him was a teen who despite being around the brunette's height was a bit younger and looked to have some Japanese blood from the narrowed aquamarine eyes and slightly darker skin. He wore a black modified gakuran with a gold chain, black hat torn in the back with two gold pins, purple shirt, expensive black slacks and black boots.
"Over here Polnareff!" The brunette shouted as Polnareff ran over to them. "Hey Joseph! Good to see you too Jotaro. You didn't have to swing that sign like you were advertising a restaurant Joseph." Polnareff teased as Joseph merely chuckled. "I wanted to make sure you don't lose yourself in the crowd. Things have been a bit crazy in New York as of late." Joseph explained as Polnareff raised his eyebrow.
"What do you mean by that? Is something going on in the city?" The Frenchman questioned earning a nod from Jotaro. "Purple Dragons?" Polnareff questioned his two friends. They had taken Joseph's car after leaving the airport and the two brothers took the opportunity to fill Polnareff in on current events. "Yeah. They're a street gang that has been causing trouble around the city. Muggings, threatening people, burning down stores, break ins and a whole mess of trouble. A bunch of annoying pissants but dangerous ones at that." Jotaro spoke blowing smoke from his lit cigarette.
"Johnathan's friend Speedwagon and his gang, the Street Ogres, have been trying to get rid of them but these dragon bastards are relentless." Joseph explained making a hard turn through the city. "You told me about the Street Ogres on the phone. That they were powerful just as they were dangerous since the gang used to be based in Europe's own Ogre Street, a personal grave for intruders. Until Johnathan defeated their leader and they followed him here to serve as his protectors. The fact these Purple Dragons can match one of Europe's most dangerous gangs is just terrifying." Polnareff said.
"There is also a new rumor going about. People are saying ninjas had been spotted in New York. Good grief." Jotaro spoke with a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Eh?! Ninjas? Since when?!" Honestly this trip was getting weirder by the second. "A few days ago, a bunch of Purple Dragons were found hanging from a street lamp by their waists. Near the scene were shurikens, a Japanese throwing star and one of the tools a ninja uses. It was embedded into the brick wall and some in the concrete floor!" Joseph exclaimed surprising the Frenchman.
"Damn. Things really have been crazy here. I bet Dio and Diego aren't exactly happy with this nonsense." The silverette questioned as Jotaro let out an amused snort. "Considering Josuke took home one of the shurikens and his recent binge watching on ninja related shows, Dio nearly had the World strangle the dumbass and Diego almost using Scary Monsters just to chew up all his DVDs. Jolyne even chased him around the house with Gappy's pet turtle Joshuu just to get him to shut up." Jotaro spoke sounding smug from his tone.
"I bet Johnathan wasn't happy with that and Johnny locked himself in his room watching his spaghetti westerns to avoid the mayhem. What about Giorno and Gappy?" He questioned as Joseph raised an eyebrow. "I forgot how brotherly you could be. Giorno is keeping an eye out for any trouble reaching home while Gappy isn't really bothered about the mayhem like the Zeppelis. Kakyoin, Iggy and Avdol are already at the estate and were filled in about the stuff as well." Joseph explained. Clearly satisfied with his answer, Polnareff remained quiet for the remainder of the drive.
The Joestar Estate was huge rivalling the size of an actual town hall though considering who previously owned it being a holder of a massive amount of riches it was too be expected. "Can I just say your dad was too crazy with his money spending?" Polnareff said as both brothers shrugged. "Stay away from my hair Iggy!" Shouted a young rowdy male voice as a purple pompadour wearing young teenage male ran past Polnareff with a little black and white Boston Terrier following close behind. "Ahahaha! Looks like the little rascal found a new victim! Looks like Iggy hasn't changed a bit. Is he still giving the dog catchers hell?" Polnareff chuckled patting his hair.
"Yep. They even have $100 dollar bet going on about who will catch Iggy first. Tried getting Johnathan to take the bet but you know him and dogs." Joseph stated. "That's right. He's working as a part-time veterinarian since his archaeology research hit rock bottom when that cave in came out of nowhere. I still think it was a Stand related incident since the ground was guaranteed to be fully stable, diagnostics and all." Polnareff exclaimed remembering the particular incident.
A lot of people got hurt during the incident and Johnathan was nearly decapitated from collapsing debris on surface that had no pockets of any kind inside of it done naturally or not. "There is also that creep who came in a bit earlier. A guy named Baxter Stockman had an appointment with old man Zeppeli about a project to take care of New York's rat problem." Jotaro stated as they sat down on the couch and the delinquent pulled up the tape.
The video showed a large empty rat maze and an African American scientist with almost a buzz cut style dark hair, rimmed glasses and hints of madness deep within those brown orbs he called eyes. He had to agree with Jotaro that despite the man not saying a word, the madness is this eyes screamed bad news. The man Baxter Stockman soon unveiled an object that was covered in sheet just as the video began.
It revealed to be some kind of robot that screamed raptor to the Frenchman on how it's design nearly matched the prehistoric predator if this one wasn't made of metal, had huge jaws, and a single light to serve as an eye. The inventor's assistant, a young woman with crimson hair and the kindest eyes Polnareff ever seen unlike her boss named April O' Neil, had released a bunch of rats into the maze. Then Stockman let loose his invention which he named Mouser. And what happened next after the Mouser found a rat…
Polnareff was glad he hadn't eaten any food or his friends would see what he had earlier. "Holy shit. This guy really offered these as a solution to a rat problem?! A killer robot that can eat through walls?! Sure, I don't want a rat in my house but at least I have a humane trap to use than that!" The Frenchman exclaimed. "That's what I was thinking! Even that April chick looked like she didn't want to be there! Everyone on the house agreed to turn this guy down including Dio! And Dio is the type of guy to practically fry up live rodents and laugh while watching them burn before feeding them to his pet bird!" Joseph shouted as Jotaro smacked him.
"Shut up! I'm sitting right next to you, dumbass! Don't need to yell in my ear. Anyway… Gappy is looking into Stockman's background since something about that Mouser seemed off. The robot bastard also somehow seemed to creep Johnathan out too and the man has been around all types of machinery considering Gappy's profession. From what's been happening in New York as of late, this an omen for an absolute shit storm." Jotaro said before walking away. They couldn't agree more.
Later… Polnareff had finished unpacking all his stuff into his room. William was kind enough to give the man a nice large room with its own bathroom, closet and a small fridge that easily reminded the Frenchman of a 3 star hotel suite. He didn't pack any extra stuff that wasn't clothes or necessities like health products but there were some things he couldn't part with. His practice rapier, the portable toilet he bought considering the bathroom mishaps from that one road trip involving him, Jotaro, Joseph, Iggy, Avdol and Kakyoin and a few photos including the one of him, his sister Sherry and their newborn sister Fleur.
He looked sorrowfully at the picture of a young boy, a red haired girl and a small baby girl with a tuft of silver hair and a slash like birthmark on her neck with all three smiling or happy in Fleur's case. Polnareff rubbed his eyes so no tears would fall down. It felt wrong for a grown man to cry even for something as sad and important as this. He heard someone knocking on his door. "Come in!" Polnareff called as the door opened to reveal two people were at the door.
One was Jotaro and the other was a young man just as tall and as Jotaro but a bit older with soft blue eyes, wild blue hair and wore a purple sleeveless shirt, gray jeans, brown shoes, black fingerless gloves and what looked like a cast around his ankle. "Hey Jotaro and same to you Johnathan. I guess your leg isn't fully healed yet. I'm surprised you haven't let Josuke or Giorno heal you." Polnareff spoke as the blue Man Johnathan let out a soft chuckle.
"I don't want to rely on them all the time. Plus it's just a simple sprain so I figured to let time and my Hamon heal it instead. Anyway, I was wondering if you want to go to the store with me? I forgot to pick up a few things and also want to do a bit of grocery shopping while I'm at it." Johnathan asked while Polnareff turned to Jotaro. "I'm coming with him so he doesn't get himself hurt again. Plus I need to pick up some more cigarettes." Jotaro said as Polnareff merely shrugged and decided to join along. What was the worst that could happen?
Apparently the worst could happen was the street caving in from underneath your feet. Around halfway to the store, the ground beneath them had suddenly gave way dropping the trio of men down into the sewers below. Jotaro and Johnathan landed on the walkway while Polnareff fell into the sewer water. "Eww!!!" Polnareff shouted spitting the dirty water out of his mouth and getting to the walkway. "This is fucking ridiculous. How the hell can a street just fall apart like that?!" Jotaro hissed dusting himself off.
"It's just like the dig all over again. Now I believe it was no mere accident. Look at the walls." Johnathan said pointing to a wall of pipes behind him. They had been torn to create a large tunnel and the way the tunnel was made being all too familiar. "Are those...bite marks? The only thing that can do this…" Polnareff said only for Jotaro to finish his sentence. "Mousers. Stockman's little rat project tried to kill us!" The delinquent growled clenching his fists in rage.
The sound of clanking metal had grabbed their attention quickly as what appeared to be a squadron of Mousers heading their way. It was more terrifying seeing blood on some of their jaws knowing the poor rodents they must had devoured or an unlucky sap who ran into them. "I ain't taking this shit lying down! Silver Chariot!!" The Frenchman cried out as something came out of his body. It was a knight in a heavy silver suit of armor, a silver helm covering the head except for yellow eyes with blue iris, spiked shoulder pads and wielded a rapier as it gently hovered in the air.
"Pierce them Chariot!" He called as the silver knight let loose a barrage of sword swipes faster than the eye could see. The Mousers took multiple slashes with resistance but when the first was decapitated and went offline, Silver Chariot used it to his advantage. Soon a pile of Mouser heads and parts laid before their feet. "Good job Chariot. We should find a way out. Who knows how many of those menaces are down here?" Polnareff stated.
A loud feminine scream echoed through the sewers. "I recognize that scream. That's Stockman's assistant April! Come on! It came from down here." Johnathan called as the group took off deeper into the sewers. They ran as the sounds of fighting could be heard around them and grew louder the closer they were. It soon quieted as the three men turned the corner to find an unbelievable scene. Tons of Mousers destroyed and scattered across the ground, April unconscious in the hands of a man sized humanoid green turtle.
That's right. A man sized turtle wearing an orange bandanna, brown arm and leg straps, belt and orange wrapped nunchucks. To make it weirder, there were three more of them with one having a purple bandanna and held a Bo staff, blue bandanna and twin swords and red bandanna with twin sai. A clicking sound of a gun made everyone froze. "Hold still. Move and Showdown Bandit Aeon will put a hole right through blue haired pretty boy's head." A cold feminine voice spoke from behind Polnareff and Jotaro.
The voice sounded young around Jotaro's age maybe a year younger. The 4 turtles turned to see the group and looked nervous at the female holding Johnathan, Jotaro and Polnareff hostage. "Oh… Hehe. Hey big sister, lovely night for a stroll in the sewers and not hunting Mousers." The turtle in orange spoke only to get slapped on the back of his head by the turtle in red. 'My Lord! They can talk too! Fascinating.' Johnathan thought despite the clear hostage situation.
"Michelango, Leonardo, Donatello and Raphael, what did father Splinter say about running off? Not only did you disobey his orders but also got discovered by more humans. You know he's going to punish you four." The voice spoke as all four looked nervous. 'Seriously? A family dispute in a goddamn sewer? Good grief.' Jotaro thought with irritation. It was becoming awkward for the Frenchman and his two friends from how the situation was turning out. "Sorry big sister Fleur." All 4 spoke as Polnareff's eyes widened greatly.
It couldn't be… Could it? He slowly turned his head around to look at their captor. It was a young woman around Jotaro's age with wild silver hair and sharp blue eyes, she wore a headband with demon horns, a green bandanna, a red and black traditional ninja suit, purple shoulder pads, orange hakamaki sash, blue boots, an accessory silver tail with a gold hoop, two short katanas on her back, fingerless brown gloves and a gold hilted blue blade katana on the small of her back sideways but what grabbed him was the familiar mark on her neck and the red streaks under her eyes.
The spirit or Stand beside her had the appearance of a demonic grey skinned cowboy, a single red eye amongst the shadow of his red horned cowboy hat while the other covered by his purple bangs, a bandanna shaped like an opened fanged mouth on his face, peculiar red ribbons near the neck, a black outlined gold poncho over a gold shirt and brown vest, brown gun belt with red fabric by the empty gun holsters, a black tail with 5 hooks at the end ranging from orange to red, yellow jeans and on them were gray leg straps with red blades, brown and orange cowboy boots with large blades spurs, white arms with the right pointing an orange, black and gold gun at Johnathan's head and the other a giant black, orange, and red gauntlet with golden blades for fingers and three orange nozzles on the center fingers.
"Little Fleur… You're alive." Polnareff spoke with a shaky voice. "You speak as if your familiar with me when I never met you before in my life. Who are you?" Fleur questioned. "You are Fleur Marie De Polnareff, third child of Jaune Reyn Polnareff and Charlotte Maria. Mother named you Fleur because you were as beautiful as a field of blossoming flowers when you were born." Polnareff spoke as he looked at the little sister he lost.
"Wait a minute. How do you know so much about her?" The turtle in red questioned angrily. "Because she is my long lost little sister. My name is Jean Pierre Polnareff, her older brother." He spoke taking out the picture of him and his siblings when they were younger. The gasps in the room from seeing the photo was enough for Fleur to have a look for herself. Her eyes widened upon seeing the familiar mark on the baby's neck in the exact shape and place as hers. "We're taking them back to the lair. Father needs to hear about this." Fleur spoke walking off while her Stand followed.
The walk through the sewers was silent as no human or turtle decides to talk. It was too uncomfortable and awkward for everybody. Fleur led them to a wall with a strange blue pattern on it. The wall pulled apart revealing it to be a secret entrance and the inside blew all three men's minds. It was a secret lair with tons of room, wall of TV's, couch, workbenches, pinball machines and basically all kinds of stuff perfect for a comfortable living. "Incredible. All of this has been under New York for this whole time. Despite all the technology and items here, the walls and layout are much much older." Johnathan spoke practically breath taken.
"You are very observant young man. My sons and daughter, may I have an explanation on how we ended up with 4 guests?" An aged and soft male voice spoke as they turned to see a human sized anthropomorphic gray rat with brown eyes, a small goatee, white bushy eyebrows and leaning on a brown wooden cane wearing an orange and dark brown kimono. "Good grief. Things gotten really bizarre." Jotaro sighed at the weirdness they found themselves in.
One explanation from Polnareff later… The group were sitting down and gathered at the front while April who had woken up earlier after fainting again joined in. "So that explains it. Fleur was separated from you because that terrible storm had washed her away. It makes sense for her not to recognize you since she was a baby before disappearing." The turtle in purple spoke. "Though my question is, who or what are you guys? How did you even find her without being caught on the surface?" April questioned.
"That is a very long story. We weren't always like this. We used to be what you once called normal. I used to be an ordinary pet rat whose owner was a kind martial artist named Hamato Yoshi. On a trip to France, my master and I had came across Fleur crying by the edge of a river. The only clue to her name was a flower tied in her hair. A few years later, the home of my master was caught in a nasty blaze. I was able to get out with Fleur through my Master's sacrifice.
I hid Fleur in a safe place within the sewers and scavenge for food to keep her alive. On one of those scavenging days, I saw the beginning of an accident. A child had walked out of the pet store carrying four baby turtles. *That was us! From the orange bandanna turtle* Don't interrupt Michelangelo. Where was I? An elderly blind man was walking the street unaware of a massive truck heading straight towards him. A man near the child lunged to shove the elder out of harm's way yet accidentally sending the tank holding the four turtles near the sewer were they were gently swept down below.
The truck had flung open wide enough for a mysterious canister to jump out and went down the sewer bursting open and covering the four turtles in a glowing green ooze. I followed them down and took pity on them. I gathered all four and safely put them in an empty coffee can though one decided to shake himself and got the ooze on me too. I took them back to my den where Fleur laid sleeping.
The next morning, I woke up. All four had doubled in size and I was changed too. The ooze had affected us in many peculiar ways from enhancing our intelligence and strength along with affecting our growth. Then one day, one of the young turtles had spoken my name. Fleur manifested her own peculiarity in the form of a spirit that same day. I knew then that it was my duty to protect and raise them as my own.
To each I taught them the ways of Ninjutsu and to harness their new form and power. Fleur named her spirit Showdown Bandit Aeon after one of the tarot cards, the Aeon Arcana. For the four turtles, using a book on the Italian Renaissance Arts, I gave them their names. Leonardo(blue), Donatello(purple), Raphael(red) and Michelangelo(orange). That is our story." Splinter told finishing his tale.
"Yep! We're unbelievable!" Shouted Michelango who they could clearly tell was the goofball of the four. "Where's your off switch?" Raphael questioned as Jotaro snorted amused. "Been asking the same thing myself about our little brother Josuke." Jotaro said. "It's still incredible that you have a Stand Fleur combined with the fact that your family could see them." Polnareff said as that got the makeshift family's attention. It was enough for Aeon to manifest with a curious glint in his eyes. "Speak of the cowboy, hey Aeon." Michelangelo said as April looked confused.
"Stand? I don't see anything." April spoke clueless. "Only Stand Users can see Stands. Stands are the manifestation of a person's fighting Spirit with their own set of abilities based on their user. They are called Stands because they always stand beside you." Jotaro explained. "Maybe not for long. I came up with something that I've been dying to try out." Donatello said heading to a cabinet and took something out.
He came back with a pair of glasses with green half lenses. "I made this when I found out Fleur had a Stand. Using a bullet Aeon supplied me with, I created these beauties. The Spirit Lens. I didn't know if one day we would lose the ability to see or hear Aeon so I made these just in case. Aeon is considered the fifth brother of the bunch since we played and trained with each other from childhood. Try the Spirit Lens on, April." Donatello explained surprising the male trio.
'Glasses that can see Stands!?' Went through their heads as April put on the glasses before turning to suddenly scream. "Oh my gosh! There's a demon cowboy right in my face! Is this Aeon???" April questioned nervously as Jotaro, Polnareff and Johnathan's eyes widened. "Yeeehaw!!!! Looks like your little doodad was a success Donnie! The lassie can see me!" A young raspy and wild male voice came out from Aeon as he twirled his hat. Donatello chuckled at the Stand's obvious happiness.
"Oh. It's rude to leave a family member out of a reunion. Jotaro, Johnathan and I are also Stand Users. Come out Silver Chariot!" Polnareff called as Silver Chariot manifested. "Wow! An actual knight in shining armor! And that rapier looks fantastic!" Leonardo stated as he couldn't help but admire the craftsmanship of Silver Chariot's blade. "The elder Knight and young bandit. Very interesting. The Chariot is the tarot card for conquest and absolute victory. Quite fitting for a knight or crusader." Splinter spoke as both Stands approached each other.
"Aw shucks. Thanks. I had Silver Chariot with me since birth and both of us keep each other in fighting shape." Polnareff said scratching his head sheepishly. Both of the Stands eyed each other before Aeon decided to just give Chariot a big hug as his tail wagged wildly like a happy dog. "Aww. They look so cute! Someone take a picture!" Michelangelo said. "Wish I brought my camera." Johnathan mumbled.
"Let's get back to business. April, why were those Mousers chasing you?" Fleur questioned getting everyone back on topic. "I decided to spy on my former boss since it was too suspicious to build so many of something like the Mousers for a city rat problem. I discovered that he was using the Mousers to rob banks and jewelry stores of their valuables. One of the test runs even brought down an archaeological dig!" April explained as Johnathan's breath hitched.
"Dear god. Those things were the reason nearly everyone at my digsite was almost killed. To think the same man who pitched those awful things to us were responsible for the pain of so many." Johnathan spoke clenching his fists angrily. "Now I recognize you! You are Johnathan Joestar, the eldest son of George Joestar and heir to the Joestar and Zeppeli Corporation! Oh shell! I read a few of your books on ancient civilizations and they were really excellent. To meet one of my favorite authors is astounding!" Donatello explained as Johnathan couldn't help but smile.
"Well it's nice to meet a fan of my work. I would love to discuss about it later but I think it's best if we deal with Stockman first. He caused too much pain for a lot of people and must be stopped before he could do further harm." Johnathan said. "Yeah. That jerk destroyed our old home and those pieces of scrap metal try to make a meal out of our Sensei!" Raphael stated taking out his sai.
 "I agree. My sons and my daughter, I ask of you to assist April in stopping Stockman before he could do even further harm. Jotaro and Jean, I ask of you to accompany them on this mission. I know my sons and daughter can protect themselves but it'll be good to have someone capable of protecting Miss O' Neil. Though Johnathan, I ask of you to stay here. The injury on your ankle needs to be checked and wounds like that on a battlefield can put you and others in grave danger." Splinter explained.
No one objected the elder rat's words for it obviously made sense. Even Jotaro silently agreed despite being known to be against any type of authority. "It's not going to be easy. Stocktronics has the latest top of the line security system. It'll be tough to get in without being spotted." April spoke only for Fleur to giggle. "We've got that problem already handled." The kunoichi said.
"May I present you our technologic master turtle, Donatello!" Michaelango said pointing at Donatello. "You're too kind." Donatello chuckled. "Can we go already? Please!" Shouted Raphael.  "Follow us. We know these sewers like the back of our hand." Fleur spoke walking off. The group of 8 quietly walked through New York's Sewer system. April had stopped them to point a small security system.
"Seriously? Security systems in the sewer? This Stockman guy is really paranoid." Michaelango whispered only to be smacked by Jotaro. "Thanks big guy." Raphael silently chuckled. "Get a room you two." Michaelango spoke only to get shushed by Donatello. "Be quiet. April and I are busy! This is delicate work!" Donatello whispered annoyed as he dismantled the system. "*sigh* Little brothers…" Fleur muttered.
The system was soon broken allowing the group to travel to the building through the ducts. Using his sai, Raphael had opened the vent after the guards left. "Alright. The terminal is over there. If I can access it, I can make blank spots in the security for you guys to travel undetected." April whispered. "Let me do it. Star Platinum." Jotaro spoke manifesting his Stand.
It looked like a big purple Aztec warrior just as tall as Jotaro but buffer, had long black flowing hair, sharp teal eyes, gold wavy lines going down his body and wore gold shoulder pads with spirals, red scarf, gold circlet headband, black fingerless gloves with gold studs, black knee boots and a long white loin cloth. April had to hide her blush. "Oh shell. He's huge. Looks like you got a fellow purple lover." Raphael joked as Donatello rolled his eyes.
"Star Finger." Jotaro whispered as Star Platinum's middle and index finger thin and lengthen before using it to pick the lock open. Jotaro called Star back as the group got out of the duct and followed April into terminal room. "Nice lock picking Jotaro. When did you learn to do that?" Leonardo questioned the raven. "Jotaro has a crazy fanclub that follows him everyday at school. He picks the roof door lock to escape since students aren't allowed up there." Polnareff answered the blue mask turtle.
"Alright. I'm blanking the cameras in 10 second intervals. You guys have to keep moving and don't stop if you don't want to get caught." April warned. "Got it. We'll be back." Fleur spoke as the 5 ninjas disappeared without a sound to three clueless people until the Frenchman turned around. "They're gone! That Splinter can teach!" Polnareff stated as he couldn't help but feel proud at his little sister and a bit for her brothers.
The kunoichi and her four shelled siblings outran the cameras as they raced through the halls. Walking into a completely dark room, all 5 siblings were on guard. "It's quiet, too quiet." Leonardo warned pulling out his weapons like the others. Fleur kept her third blade on her back as she kept an eye out for danger. "Guys, my turtle sense is tingling." Michelangelo joked nervously. Suddenly the lights flashed on to reveal Stockman high above in a control room and there were manufacturing guns found above in high-tech factories, the type that fire beams of extreme heat.
"You really think I would be so lax in thinking to not anticipate intruders! Did you come here for my secrets because it wouldn't matter. None of you are leaving out alive." Stockman threatened looking at the thermal images of the 5 shinobi only to be disturbed by 4 non human shaped blurs. "What are you? I guess I have to dissect you to find out." Stockman spoke as the ceiling guns shifted to face the group before the ninja found themselves under fire.
It didn't take them a second to take cover behind the pillars. "Showdown Bandit Aeon!" Fleur cried out summoning her Stand. "This is quite a shootout but these pieces of scrap can't outshot me!" The devilish cowboy laughed aiming his gun and began firing bullets. Each bullet sniped into each barrel causing each laser gun to explode from its own blast. "Donnie!" Leonardo called as the turtle in purple came over. Donatello tossed Leonardo into the air so he could slice the guns in half with his katana blades.
Donatello using his staff, pole vaulted to one of the guns before turning it to shoot at the others and then finished by sabotaging it to explode. "Mikey! Hammer throw!" Raphael called Michelangelo ran over to the turtle in red. Michaelango jumped over Raphael as the red masked turtle kicked out his feet to launch his fellow turtle to the control room glass and break open an entry to Stockman's terror.
Fleur and the others quickly followed up there blocking Stockman as their friends walked in from the other side. "April! You're alive." Stockman said shocked. "And kicking. My friends here helped me out and get me to you. It's over Stockman, I have enough evidence to land you in jail for a very long time." April spoke only for Stockman to laugh and pull out a remote with a single button. He pressed it before Michaelango could grab him.
"It's too late! I called back all my Mousers. They'll be here to rip you to shreds!" Stockman chuckled as the group could see the beginnings of a swarm of the malicious robots surround them. Stockman had used their distraction to escape. "Guys! Stockman got away!" Michelangelo shouted. "We have bigger problems. We have thousands of things heading our way! Stockman must have made even more before robbing those banks earlier!" Donatello panicked as both him and April got to the control panel before trying to hack it.
Mousers began to come in the room from all around them as Jotaro, Polnareff and Fleur got their stands ready. Suddenly all the small killer robots stopped as their single eye began blinking. "April, what did you do?" Fleur questioned as Michelangelo picked up one of the Mousers. "I couldn't shut them down so I had to reroute their programming to overload." April warned as the orange masked turtle dropped the Mouser in panic. "Let's get the shell out of here! This place is going to blow!" Fleur cried as it didn't take a single second for all of them to scramble out of the building and down into the sewers.
Back at the lair… the news played the burning scene of the Stocktronics building as the group watched. "What are you going to do now April? I'm pretty sure you're out of a job." Splinter questioned. "We can help her get back on her feet. She did help us stop Stockman." Fleur offered as Polnareff couldn't help but smile. "Splinter, I want to thank you and your master for caring for my little sister. She has turned into a wonderful woman with your guidance." Polnareff spoke.
"It was an honor. Though it'll take time for Fleur to adjust knowing she has a living relative. You and your friends are welcomed back here. The boys still need some guidance that I can't provide." Splinter spoke as Polnareff smiled. "Wait, if Polnareff is Fleur's older brother and Splinter adopted Fleur, doesn't that make Polnareff our big brother in some way?" Michelangelo questioned as everyone looked at the Frenchman.
"I believe it does since Splinter is her parental guardian. Looks like Polnareff has gotten another chance at being a big brother again." Johnathan chuckled as the Frenchman looked ready to cry. Today was just an insane day for Jean Pierre Polnareff. Moving to New York for a new start had gotten him into a crazy adventure. Now not only did he have his little sister Fleur back but also has 4 teenage mutant ninja turtles to guide like a big brother should. It was going to be strange but he wouldn't trade it for the world. And this time he was going to protect them!
That's it folks. I honestly thought Polnareff deserved another chance at the big brother role because it just suits him perfectly in my opinion. Here is a drawing of Fleur and her Stand Aeon though his name on the picture is different since I drew it before writing this.

Thoughts on the “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” English dub. Episode twenty six.
here we are at the end of all things
I appreciate that Kars is naked in this opening narration
“you dummy that’s lava!”
I just gotta hand it to Joseph
and now Kars legit looks like a Stand
I shall call this Drive
too bad it lasts for like a minute, but we are treated to lovely golden haired Kars
“HHHHHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHAAAAUUUUUUUUGHHH!” “hmmm hmmm hmm. music to my ears”
in which Jojo predicted the Michael Jackson “I love this song” meme, one of my personal favorite memes
also Stroheim’s eye piece can do this analysis thing apparently
drink this in, this is the most we ever learn of the pillar people
but if I’m to be honest I don’t think we needed every detail of their existence fed to us, its just that I’m left wondering how they fuck they were even here to start with
“they knew no strife and lived in peace with one another. but then a man with great pride and ambition was born among them!” this is literally “everything changed when Kars attacked”
I like the implication that Kars raised children
so after this knee injury I’m surprised Joseph didn’t have a bum leg on top of being an amputee
I meant it when I said fandom needs to stop ignoring that he’s disabled
“I wonder how do you like the taste of your own medicine?” “AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH” “hmmmm a very articulate reply!”
its a good thing Joseph didn’t drop the red stone, I mean he easily could have and then what?
oh my God they’re playing Sono Chi no Sadame!
KABLAMMO
“the Force its strong” with this one
TIME TO GIVE KARS A HAND
I mean if we didn’t see the same thing happen earlier with Wamuu I would call this silly
“how do you always know?” because
“I just got lucky, but thinking I outsmarted him will drive Kars nuts” I love you
I know it makes no sense that this would suck Kars into the vacuum of space and I don’t care, this was a big ending fitting a villain like him
JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
JO
“the air is freezing around me!” joke’s on you because there is no air in space!
be careful not to choke on your ambitions Kars!
“so ended Kars, last and greatest of the Pillar Men. his body turned hard as rock and he floated through space for the rest of time. never to return. he wished for death, but there was nothing out there to kill him. the spark of thought within him went dim and then silent.”
see you space cowboy
like the idea of drifting for eternity with no means of ending it and eventually just ceasing to think is scary, but its exactly what he deserved
oh yeah right Joseph is TOTALLY dead
I am eternally grateful that Araki never made me watch Joseph Joestar die
I always liked how Suzie Q just sashays into a funeral for her own husband who isn’t actually dead
also her earrings are Js how cute
again Joseph is lucky he found a woman of equal intelligence to his
with parents like them I’m impressed Holly turned out like she did
while Suzie nursed him back to health she fed him cherries on a fork that were still attached to their stems, you see what I mean?
“you never sent that telegram like I asked did you!” “ah...I don’t really know”
ah the hand thing, I’d like to think Joseph tried doing it to impress Josuke because it amused Jotaro when he was like five and baby Jolyne and Josuke was all “why is my father like this?”
“aaaah! Suzie Q what the hell!? you had one job woman! ONE JOB!”
“soon after Lisa Lisa, aka Elizabeth Joestar, told Jojo that she was his mother” a scene I really wish we got to see
BABY HOLLY
also at least Erina got to die a peaceful manner knowing her and Jonathan’s struggles were not in vain
“a lifelong bachelor, he left no family behind” and I personally wish he did, I would have loved to see generations of the Speedwagon name and also I just think he deserved a family of his own considering his devotion to Jonathan’s
I am happy that Smokey became a successful politician, but a black mayor in Georgia during Jim Crow would...not have happened
to be fair I shouldn’t nitpick the series for lapsing in realism on some things while saying a lack of accuracy on others isn’t important
oh my God I’m so sad that Stroheim died at the Battle of Stalingrad...except I’m not
but you see what I mean when I say he and Joseph weren’t really friends? like he did him a solid, but they weren’t close
“and so the years flowed by to a new generation” here it comes!
old man Joseph is voiced by Richard Epcar who was Batou in GITS, Ansem in KH, and Jigen in Lupin III
making Joseph hate Japanese people never made sense to me, outside of this and some moments at the start of SDC its never really addressed again so welcome to another “if Araki doesn’t care then why should I” thing
though if I have to explain it I see this as him being angry that Holly married Sadao and that resulted in her leaving the country and Sadao just wasn’t there for her and Jotaro anyway so Joseph transfers these emotions onto other people which isn’t justified, but again its barely a thing in the long run
Sadao kinda sucks and literally all we know about him is he’s a Japanese jazz musician
oh so after me writing all this Joseph literally says it for me, so my interpretation is actually canon. good.
“then again they make some rather nifty gadgets” so much for “I do like my walkman”
also we can add Sony to the list of real companies that are shown in Jojo along with Pepsi and 7Up, no change in spelling, no fake name, this is Sony
going through BT again was fun. its not perfect and still sits kinda low when I rank the arcs in the series, but its still got a lot in its favor. outside of issues with some voices I’d say this dub was strong. I’m taking back any bad thing I said about Ben Diskin when this dub first came out, he’s a great Joseph. and while SDC is also far from my favorite and I know only a few episodes of this dub have been released I am looking forward to covering it. hopefully soon we’ll have the rest of those episodes.
“a 100 year old chest like that? could be anything!” you have no idea
there he is!
tune in next time where we meet the world’s oldest teenager and his screaming purple monster

Thoughts on the “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” English dub. Episode fourteen.
in which we travel to apparently non fascist Italy in 1938
seriously I know Araki doesn’t concern himself with realism, but no Blackshirts?
I’ve always been curious to try squid ink pasta to tell you the truth
I always liked the ink staining Joseph’s mouth, its a good detail
another good detail is his English ass clearly not knowing how to properly eat spaghetti, people like you are the reason restaurants give out spoons
okay so I saw it coming, but I didn’t want Caesar to have a phony baloney Italian accent
he is voiced by Bryce Papenbrook who voices Eren in AOT so in between him and Yuuki Kaji as Koichi we have both of Eren’s voice actors in this anime
the more you know!
“COME ON! did that mozzarella cheese ball just say what I think he said!?”
so that is not what he says in Japanese as this is another “OH NO!” scene, but I kinda don’t mind because I like his stupid insults
“that’s just ridiculous! how could any modern woman fall for such an obvious act!?” so this is where he says “you son of a bitch. now I know you’re just trying to be ironic” but again I kinda don’t mind what they used instead
mainly the reason I address these lines is because I’m always addressing line changes in the BNHA dub and I wanna be fair
also Caesar’s voice will require a lot of getting used to, a lot
always liked Joseph eating the spaghetti after it pierces his wine glass
and I’m just realizing both he and Josuke have memorable scenes involving spaghetti
pretty sure its coincidence
so someone I follow on youtube once described Caesar as “a really manly character”. I laughed.
“this is the Speedwagon Foundation” there it is!
so many accents...
a lot of people have commented on the anime making Caesar look like Dio
they aren’t wrong
“coo! coo! boy the birds in this country sure are friendly, they seem much smarter than the men here don’t you think!?”
thing is I never pictured Caesar’s voice being this high, if anything I expected William to have a higher voice
“we Italians have the strongest familial bonds of any culture in the world” as an Italian myself I call bullshit, I have so many direct relatives that I never talk to
it is exciting seeing Joseph and Caesar together again, just knowing they have one of the best connections in the series and because Caesar himself was such a great character
in the back of the second BT manga volume Araki discusses how he wanted to explore a positive friendship after PB and that Caesar using bubbles represents his fate and a fleeting power which also applies to his thought process in writing Gyro and Gappy, its cool stuff
also I really really hope that doesn’t mean Gappy’s gonna die
“his defeat of the Pillar Man was nothing but blind luck!” yup
Joseph’s reaction to Caesar kissing the woman is still hilarious
Caesar you dumb shit, your grandfather’s death was prophesied he saw it coming
this is one of my favorite Joseph looks by the way
FUCKING BUBBLES
again I know we all make fun of Caesar using bubbles, but reading about why Araki did this and what he sees it as representing is interesting
just don’t hurt Gappy the sailor man
“while that woman was throttling me, I filled a pigeon with as much Hamon as I could and hid it away in her mouth” naturally, there was no other way
“honestly, just who does this jerk think he is? grandstanding like that just to sit in a chair! I really can’t stand people like him” you’re a Jojo, you pose for literally no reason. chill.
“again with the Germans!?” same
seriously did Araki just not know fascism in Italy was a thing?
“I wanted to ask you Jojo, do you have a girlfriend back home? I’ll take that as a ‘no’. But you’re such a great catch, why doesn’t anyone want to date you? Perhaps they’re all too busy washing their hair, eh?” jokes on you because Joseph had a wife and a mistress and you died
stabbity stab
of all the songs to use for the Pillar Men, I’m happy this is it
Wamuu is voiced by Paul St. Peter who played Dire
poke
aaaand pose
that moment when you think you stepped in bat shit, but its actually the empty husk of a Nazi
it feels weird seeing Kars in this much clothing
Kars is voiced by John DeMita (credited on Jojo wiki as Will Barrett) who was Barthello in FFX and Silver Fang in OPM
“the red stone of Asia” uhhh...I always said it as ah-jah but okay
according to Jojo wiki its romanized as Eija so I was wrong again (but its still spelled as Aja)
Esidisi is voiced by Chris Jai Alex who was Lord Boros in OPM (also hey a black guy in an anime dub for once)
I’m just laughing at the fact that Esidisi will always sound like ACDC when you say it out loud so the attempt at avoiding being too similar to the band name is just gone
also did they really think the band the Cars has a monopoly on the word “cars”? spelling it with a “k” looks fine, but
I used to think Kars was a kinda meh villain, but I kept finding myself drawn to him in spite of that and now he’s in my top four favorite Jojo villains
I think the luscious hair, flawless eye shadow, and thong are largely to blame like what a beauty icon
meanwhile a guy is dying and I don’t care
I just noticed that Kars’s thong has a keyhole in the back
I like this remixed Roundabout closing
tune in next time where Joseph gets engaged to two men
