More Assorted Star Swap thoughts, this time about part 6 (with Jonathan being swaped in for Jolyne) For the brief time that he is part of the story, part 6 Jotaro will be experiencing…. Emotions, that’s for sure. He enters Green Dolphin feeling prepared. Get in, rescue his daughter, and maybe beat up a few of Dio’s goons on the way out.
And then instead he has to deal with this:
Jonathan: So, there’s no easy way to say this Mr. Kujo, but my name is actually Jonathan Joestar, and I seem to be… possessing your daughter’s body.
Jotaro: ….
Jonathan: Mr. Kujo?
Jotaro: …
Jotaro has been dealing with stand bullshit (trademarked) for years, so he probably isn’t that surprised by anything anymore, but he definitely doesn’t wasn’t expecting this. Why is his great-great-grandfather’s mind inside of his daughter’s body? More importantly, where is his daughter’s mind? Unfortunately, Jonathan doesn’t have the answer. Even more unfortunately, Jotaro can never gets the time to figure this out before he gets his memories and stand stolen.
And Jonathan… I think he’d be a little hesitant about going back to Green Dolphin after the escape. Sure, he wants to stop evil, and that fact that these people, all the way in the distant future of 2011, are apparently servants of Dio, doesn’t sit well with him.
But on the other hand, he is endangering a body that isn’t his. This girl, who apparently is one of his descendants, didn’t ask for any of this. Who is he to make this decision for her, to throw her body into danger like this? (Being unaware of the fact that Jolyne would be just as willing to throw herself into danger)
Obviously, the rest of the Star Swap Stone Ocean needs to happen, so Jonathan’s desire to stop Dio’s evil overcomes his concerns, but I still think Jonathan ends up being much more careful and defensive during fights. Not because he’s worried for his own life, but because he doesn’t know when he’s going to switch back, and he wants Jolyne’s body to be as good as new when that happens.
Yesssssssssssssssss
Jotaro just. Stares at Jonathan for several seconds and for a moment Jonathan's worried he doesn't believe him but then he lets out the longest, most exausted sounding sigh Jonathan's ever heard
Jotaro's So Fucking Exhausted He Didn't Sign Up For Any Of This He Just Wanted His Family To Be Safe God Dammit-
luckily/unluckily he recognizes the fact that there is nowhere near enough time nor it is safe enough to stay here and ask questions, so he decides to go ahead with his plan to get "Jolyne" out and to the Foundation. After all, they deal with all sorts of magical fuckery, they might know what to do here
the escape is definitely Awkward since their of them really know what to say, but you're abslutely right in that Jonathan freaks out a bit when he learns but canon does go the same way with Jotaro getting his brain and Stand yoinked and him going comatose
and just. OUGH I love the idea of Jonathan hesitating to go back. His morals are gonna be clashing so freaking hard because on one hand there is a lot of danger inside those walls and he doesn't want to endager Jolyne, but on the other he doesn't want to abandon Mr.Kujo like this. The man came here to save his daughter, and he's now in a state like death because of how he wasn't the woman he came for (ofc, this is how canon would have gone but Jonathan doesn't know that :3c)
