Joseph Joestar (Original Universe)

Background

Joseph has a minor role in the light novel JORGE JOESTAR. Before he is born, Speedwagon sends several baby gifts to George Joestar II and Lisa Lisa. As a baby, Joseph inherits Lisa Lisa's talents and defaults to Ripple breathing. Whenever George tries to change his diaper or hold him, George would wind up hopping around after being stunned from the Ripple. When Joseph cries in George's arms, electric shocks run through George's body.↗↗

After George's disappearance and presumed death, Straizo occasionally checks in on Erina and Joseph to ensure everything is okay.↗

Jorge Joestar from the 37th universe travels through time to the original universe where he meets Erina. He asks to see Joseph after hearing his name. Even as a baby, Jorge thinks that Joseph feels like a rascal. Kars, who is traveling with Jorge, suddenly enters the baby Joseph's room and is intrigued to see his face. Penelope de la Rosa and Erina throw themselves in between Kars and Joseph's carriage, instinctively protecting him.↗↗

In the final battle against Dio Brando, Jorge tells Lisa Lisa to bring the baby Joseph with her. Dio thinks she's crazy for bringing a baby to a battle, but it was all part of Jorge's plan to catch Dio off guard. Lisa Lisa eventually reunites with George and gives him a kiss accidentally infused with the Ripple, while Joseph laughs happily in her arms. The Joestar family all reunite and have a group hug.↗↗
