02Appearance

Jorge is a teenage boy of average height and build. He has a wavy wings hairstyle shaped like a star, with high volume bangs that are pointed upwards. He wears a collared t-shirt, shorts, and a belt. The center of his t-shirt has a star with a repeated "JOJO" pattern inside it. Some illustrations of Jorge from his school days have the star either saying "GIOGIO", "じょじょ" (JoJo in Hiragana), or "ジョジョ" (JoJo in Katakana).↗

03Personality

Jorge is a witty individual with a fastidious personality trait. As a result, his room is very clean and he's solved a number of cases as a private detective. He is a bit of a narcissist, often referring to himself as a great detective and having that listed as his title on his business card. Jorge gets caught up in details, and if details don't add up right then he gets agitated and attempts to search for a better way to solve his problems.↗↗

Jorge is easily able to solve complex puzzles but despite his intelligence, Kars initially believes he's stupid and expresses disappointment that he is not as crafty as his adoptive grandfather, Joseph Joestar (Universe 37) Incarnation of Joseph Joestar in the 37th universe. He states that Jorge lacks perseverance and gives up easily.↗↗

He talks back to Kars and explains his reasoning of why he enjoys solving mysteries without even having his memory DISC inside his head, which somewhat impresses the Pillar Man. Jorge also has a tendency of being overbearing, bossing Kars around although the latter can easily kill him. Jorge is insecure about not having the Star Birthmark.↗↗

04Abilities

Beyond

Jorge has a Beyond named Trinity, which is shared with the original Jorge Joestar from the first universe and Dio Brando. By believing that he is a detective who can outwit any case, Jorge's Beyond gives him confidence to solve his cases.↗

Stand

Before becoming a Stand user, Rohan Kishibe 's Heaven's Door enables Jorge to see Stands to help him solve his mysteries.↗

U-Boat

Kars later gives Jorge a degraded copy of his U-Boat Ultimate in the form of a Stand DISC. It has the same functionalities as the U-Boat of Narancia Ghirga (Universe 37) Incarnation of Narancia Ghirga in the 37th universe. It allows Jorge to summon a colony of submarines which can scout, dive into the body of living things, and fire missiles. The colony can combine into a giant submarine as well.↗

05Story

SPOILERS

Background

Jorge's Japanese birth parents were unable to look after him for unknown reasons and handed him over to the authorities when he was a baby. He was adopted by Jonda Joestar and raised in English. As a teenage detective, Jorge assisted the police and solved several cases. In 2010, he solved fifteen locked room mysteries in a row. Two years later, he caught two serial killers, Guruguru Majin, and Nail Peeler. He would often make a full report of his cases to his father.↗↗

Meeting Tsukumojuku

On July 23, something about the fifteen locked room murders still bothers Jorge before he goes to bed. He finds a map in a newspaper article detailing the locations of each murder and discovers that it is actually a puzzle. He imagines a large 4x4 grid on top of the map and sees that there is an empty square.↗

Jorge gets on his bike and rides north towards Takefu, attempting to find something like a locked room. Instead, he finds a farmhouse on fire, belonging to the Kato Family. Jorge looks through the windows and sees that their house is filled with water moving at whirlpool speeds. Noticing a person inside clinging to the window, Jorge rushes to save him. He breaks the glass on the nearest ground floor windows, allowing him to open the door.↗

Morioh

Jorge heads from Nishi Akatsuki to Morioh, wondering how Tsukumojuku arrived there. Jorge gets off the train at Morioh Station shortly after 1 PM, feeling a sense of déjà vu when he looks over the map of the town. However, Jorge is sure that he has never been to Morioh before as the famous Namahage Detective would usually handle cases there. Nearby the station, Jorge hears an election campaign for Takumi Kumoi, aiming to become Morioh's next mayor.↗

Mars

Aboard the H. G. Wells Spaceship, Jorge and Narancia are caught and tied to a bed by Captain Funnier Valentine and his team of astronauts. Enrico Pucci introduces himself and asks for their names. Since Narancia couldn't speak English, Jorge answers for him. Jorge sees a mysterious third moon of Mars outside the window and assumes that must be the reason for him being brought there. He suddenly hears a dull chime echoing inside his stomach with the reverb spreading through his body.↗

London

The spaceship of Kars smashes into the Arrow Cross House as Jorge assumes that they all are about to die. However, Kars saves them by transforming his body into a sphere. As they step outside, Jorge realizes that they are in an unfamiliar landscape rather than Morioh. Narancia sends out a few hundred tiny U-Boats onto the grass, having them scout in all directions. Jorge remembers that he was still borrowing a version of U-Boat from Kars and does the same thing.↗

Parallel Worlds

In the middle of a red desert, Jorge sees a car headed toward him with another 'Funny Valentine' driving it. After getting an explanation of Funny's Stand, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Jorge sees many cars racing across the desert. The 'Funny' that was in the car tells Jorge that it's the 2nd Stage of the Steel Ball Run, taking place in Monument Valley. Jorge mentions that one of his ancestors was in the Steel Ball Run, but it was a horse race.↗

Final Battle

They arrive back at Piccadilly Circus with Funny about to teleport Kars again, but this time Jorge knows what would happen. Jorge yells out to Kars that Funny will clap twice, allowing Kars to instantly react to both claps. Dio activates the next part of his plan and assumes he won until Jorge tells him to look at the sky. Kars grins down at him, revealing that he learned how to use his own version of Dio's Stand, The World Ultimate. He had stopped time and escaped from the claps.↗

The original Jorge reveals that he was hiding inside a parallel world within Jorge as well. He survived against Kira by using his Beyond to separate his soul from his body, after witnessing Dio doing it earlier. Reimi found his soul wandering around in Arrow Cross House. When he leaps out, Jorge ends up on the floor and the two start arguing with each other. Lisa Lisa uses her Ripple on both of them and they have a happy reunion.↗↗

2014-2017

Penelope decides to live in the 37th universe and marries Jorge's father, Jonda Joestar, two years later. They have a daughter in 2015 and Jorge is ecstatic over having a new sister. When Jorge is twenty, he changes the official English spelling of his name from 'Jorge' to 'Jorge' because he hates the spelling 'Jorge'. However, he can't decide on the Japanese spelling.↗↗
