Jesus Christ

Background

Approximately 2000 years in the past, Jesus Christ inspires a new way of faith. However, society deems him too dangerous and sentences him to crucifixion on the hill of Golgotha.↗↗↗

Joseph of Arimathea brings his corpse down from the cross, cleaning his body to prepare for burial and wrapping it in a linen cloth. Despite being medically impossible and having fatal wounds, Jesus revives and arises three days after his execution. Jesus thanks Joseph for treating his body with care and then states that he will travel to the east. When Joseph asks him about a future meeting, Jesus makes a map in the sand, showing Joseph nine locations.↗↗

Jesus then travels east across the continent, learning new languages and cultures, until he reaches the sea. Making a ship with the locals' help, he crosses the sea, arriving in a new land where he lives, ages, and eventually dies. Having formed a connection with the natives, they state that they "wish to see him again" prior to his death.↗

In San Diego, a group of soldiers perishes during their training in a desert, but one of them survives and makes it back to civilization alive due to accidentally finding Jesus's heart, hidden beneath the sand. The young soldier eventually becomes president of the country. Believing it to be fate, he is motivated to find the rest of the body parts.↗↗

Steel Ball Run

Initially, many believe that the Corpse Parts belongs to another saint. However, a few characters such as Blackmore have their suspicions that it is actually Jesus's. For varied personal reasons, several characters in the SBR race seek to collect his Corpse Parts. Blackmore himself is the first to perceive the Jesus's presence. Awed and distracted by this revelation, he is then fatally shot by Lucy Steel.↗↗

During his fight with Axl RO, Johnny receives advice from Jesus, helping him overcome the Stand Civil War; after which Funny Valentine steals all the Corpse Parts from Johnny and Gyro.↗↗

His corpse is eventually sealed in a vault below Trinity Church in New York City. The only ones aware of its existence and its location are Johnny, Lucy, Steven Steel, and a few others in the American government.↗↗↗

JoJolion

Anguished by the terminal illness of his wife, Rina Higashikata, Johnny decides to retrieve the corpse from its vault and try to use its power to heal her. Johnny buries the corpse under the sacred Meditation Pine in Morioh, Japan.↗↗

Government agents arrive to retrieve the corpse and presumably take it back to America. Ten years later, Lucy Steel arrives to Morioh holding a briefcase with the logo of the Speedwagon Oil Company. She notes that the ground of the burial site the corpse was in is similar to a Devil's Palm.↗↗

The JOJOLands

At some point in the late 1800s, Latrato creates a crucifix out of a fulgurite he found on the lava plains of Hualalai, when lightning struck during a new moon. It has a figure of Jesus on it, which the Howler family has kept in their private chapel throughout generations. In around 2023, Hacca Howler sees the holes on the crucifix where lightning struck and deduces how he could find new Lava Rocks.↗↗

Personality

Jesus expresses gratitude towards Joseph of Arimathea for maintaining his corpse prior to his resurrection and entrusts him with a map of the undiscovered American continent.↗↗↗
