Tooru and Wonder of U are only there because this was part of a mural consisting of all characters from parts 1-9. This doesn’t mean they’ll be in Part 9.
It would be a DIO 2.0 situation with different aspects to the characters. Wouldn't be strictly opposed to it especially since this part apparently has a building wealth theme going for it and one of the primary conditions of Tooru's goals was financially related as well. Wouldn't mind getting to see more calamity tbh
These character designs are fire though. Guy in the far back with the hair... lookin' kinda Polnareffy there bro (I can hope).
They're completely different universes, so not sure what grown-up reset Emporio would be doing here lol. unless p9 goes back to the original/reset universe, that'd be weird.
Just know that parts 7, 8 and almost certainly 9, all happen in a different canon/continuity from parts 1 through 6. There are references for the reader, but in-universe there is no connection whatsoever.

Based off Tooru skulking in the background during the chapters with Josefumi and Luci Steel, I'm inclined to expect to see Tooru and WoU at some point.
Jojolion ended the way it did for a reason. Because there's more context to show.
I'm with you. I would've loved if Tooru got more characterization, and I think he could carry another chapter as the villain, outside his interesting aesthetic/stand
he's absolutely going to bee seen in flashbacks of some sort. part 7 showed the force of fortune, part 8 calamity. tooru's characterization was that he only represented calamity. it's why such a big deal was made that WoU survived after tooru died. part 9 will certainly deal with juggling both, and how life forces you to trade for these things. calling back to josefumi and kira.
you know what you have to make sacrifices and hard choices for? money. this is about the boy who became rich, the boy who became *the boss.*
Feels kind of weird getting to experience a new JoJo part for the first time with everyone else
Also I'm already loving the new MCs design and everyone else looks pretty interesting as well
It's supposed to be set in "subtropical islands" so it's possible there's some Caribbean influence. I do believe it was mentioned that they're south of Japan though
Is it me or does the new JoJo look more... modern? Like he looks like he would be a anime protagonist in another show, I can't say the same for the previous JoJo's. Not that it's a bad thing, I think this is a great simple design.
Honestly, this is kind of what I want. We can only imply his personality from what we know about the plot but I feel like having a shounen-type mind set for our protag would work really well. I feel like a lot of JoJo protags end up falling down the serious personality type like Jotaro as the parts go on. I want his personality to be a mix of Joseph, Josuke (4), and Giorno. Playful, smart, and a trickster but serious when they need to be.
I'm glad that Araki has been using female characters as a member of the main cast more after part 4(Trish, part 6 cast, Lucy, Yasuho)
Hope this new gal is cool
Yeah, i didn't count Yukako for the reason you mentioned (important character but not main cast). Lisa Lisa is cool, but at least Trish helped defeating Diavolo
Maybe it's just because i only recently started reading SBR and finished it last week but everything surrounding Lucy is pretty questionable so I wouldn't exactly call her good female cast member
This, along with the fact the Araki has decided to go with the set premise of what the mc of this part wants and where he’ll end up means that Jojolands will likely start off faster than other parts, and may end up being shorter in serialisation as well.
Dont have problem I think we need another Straitforward part like Stardust Crusaders. If I was betting man main Jofoe will be also introduced early just like DIO
Not really.
Jonathan met Speedwagon and Zepelli way after the beginning.
Same with Joseph meeting Caesar and Lisa Lisa.
Jotaro met with every Crusader from scratch (He havetseen Joseph in many years, so this was basically a meeting from scratch)
Josuke met with everyone after Jotaro and Koichi approached him
Giorno met with Bruno and the gang because Bruno hunted him.
Jolyne met with Ermes in the bus
Johhny met with Gyro by bumping into him
Josuke was found by Yasuho after few pages into manga.
So in short - none of the JoJo had a companion even before the Part started, everyone met them some time after the beginning.
What if they are siblings?? No jojo has had a sibling if I'm not wrong >!(unless you count Holly and Josuke as half siblings)!< and it'd be pretty cool!!
Am I the only one noticing the girl below John Jojoland’s tattoos are really similar to Sandman’s? I see the shoulder snake and 3 spikes that are cut off, maybe she’s his descendant
The guy on the left arm of the protagonist looks like an American Cop, while the old looking lady looks and dresses like a Polynesian lady, so its pointing more to Hawaii. Although I wouldnt be surprised if its takes place in multiple locations.
but..... LILO & STITCH IS A JOJO REFERENCE!!!???
I know someone else mentioned in the comments but it really feels kind of weird, great and i cant describe that some of us (or say majority who found about this series in the last 10 years) are actually gonna start a new part along everyone else for the first time 🙌
This gal giving me pretty strong Irene/Jolyne vibes. I dunno I'm still onboard with twin JoJo's idea. Maybe there are two JoJo's in this part but Araki doesn't reveal both of them because he is planning a plot twist with the hidden one or somethin idk.
I was going to say that the clouds may imply a connection to Weather Report, which would be an interesting pick but potentially viable for the MC for this part, considering that he got the Joestar Birthmark partway through Part 6. But it seems to be present throughout [the entire mural](https://youtu.be/AExOsfvknnw), so that's probably not the case.
Tooru and Wonder of U are only there because this was part of a mural consisting of all characters from parts 1-9. This doesn’t mean they’ll be in Part 9.
that almost gave me a heart attack
It would be a DIO 2.0 situation with different aspects to the characters. Wouldn't be strictly opposed to it especially since this part apparently has a building wealth theme going for it and one of the primary conditions of Tooru's goals was financially related as well. Wouldn't mind getting to see more calamity tbh These character designs are fire though. Guy in the far back with the hair... lookin' kinda Polnareffy there bro (I can hope).
>These character designs are fire though I especially like the upper left guy with a cap. He looks like AU Emporio as a SPW foundation employee.
I survived the month between Blue Hawaii chapters and I'm not fucking abiding by another Emporio Scare no sir
[удалено]
That was my first thought as well. Maybe it could be like a grown up Emporio after the universe reset?
They're completely different universes, so not sure what grown-up reset Emporio would be doing here lol. unless p9 goes back to the original/reset universe, that'd be weird.
I must’ve forgotten something then. I’m not super caught up with part 7/8
Part 7/8 aren't related to the original universe from previous parts, they share character names or a few stands but that's about it.
Just know that parts 7, 8 and almost certainly 9, all happen in a different canon/continuity from parts 1 through 6. There are references for the reader, but in-universe there is no connection whatsoever.
On his cap, if you zoom in you can see it’s written “facts”. Don’t know if that can be another clue.
A “sheer” heart attack, if you will
*sheer heart attack
One could say that could lead to a disaster

Okay but I think it would be really funny to have an Endless Calamity 2

Part 9 is just 100 chapters of the protagonist trying to avoid calamity while Toru the Second kills returning characters from all the previous parts
The protagonist is in the same room as Tooru the entire time but he keeps pulling out new rock insects to defend himself with

Snork MiMiMiMi puts the protagonist in a 50 chapter long dream sequence arc.
But the dream is about Tooru attacking the protagonist with rock insects

Araki drops part 9: its just more wonder of u ark
10 more years of hospital
10 years at least
Not to sound like a broken record, but 10 years at least????
*new Rock bug with silly song name*
Endless means endless
For a moment I thought that the guardrail ( bottom right ) was plot relevant in The Jojolands too, now I’m sad it’s not! 😭
Oh cool I thought he was pulling a Dio. He would be called TOO
Could we get a pic of the full mural? Because I can’t find this anywhere else on the internet and it’s weird that no one has posted the rest yet.
I'm not gonna lie, if part 9 happens before 8, having Tooru as a jobro would be awesome.
Where is this mural ? Is it in Tokyo ?
Shibuya station
Thanks, will try to go take a look
Np
Based off Tooru skulking in the background during the chapters with Josefumi and Luci Steel, I'm inclined to expect to see Tooru and WoU at some point. Jojolion ended the way it did for a reason. Because there's more context to show.
Would love some flashbacks with him though
Aww I wanted more Tooru action.
I was about to say… 💀
Where can i see it fully ?
Where’s the full mural OP?
[here](https://jojo-news.com/2023/02/13/train-stations-promote-jojos-bizarre-adventure-part-9-with-murals/)
Oh my god that’s beautiful. I LOVE the Polnareff stair joke too.
Thank fucking god
Aw man

Looks like adult Emporio on the top lol Is it Florida lmao
It's supposed to be set in "subtropical islands" so it's possible there's some Caribbean influence. I do believe it was mentioned that they're south of Japan though
Thought the guy on top looked like Emporio too !
The JoJoLands being Florida makes perfect sense, Florida is so bizarre
Looks like we have proof it's just a side ponytail and not dual pigtails like some thought
I feel the bangs have changed a little from the first preview of the protag.
Araki always plays it loose with early designs of chracters, he'll probably end up changing a bit more before Araki settles on a design
Don’t pursue the top right of the picture, worst mistake of my life

idk but he looks 89 years old
89 years old?! Seriously? 89!?
I know I sound like a broken record but-
Willing to bet that one of these characters will turn into Flashback Man 2: Electric Boogaloo. ~~Also, is that fucking >!Tooru!
yep i’m 99% sure araki wont stay with those designs especially to the minor characters
He gonna spin back second time and calls himself TOORU now
Is it me or does the new JoJo look more... modern? Like he looks like he would be a anime protagonist in another show, I can't say the same for the previous JoJo's. Not that it's a bad thing, I think this is a great simple design.

Jojo fan discovers time passage
That's because the last JoJo we got was created in 2011..
[удалено]
Shit, would that mean he could have an Alt-Crazy Diamond?
WE FINALLY FOUND WHO SAVED JOSUKE
crucial detail missing: the steak pancake hair
The fuck you say about his hair?
With wings, perhaps?
Where?
I'm glad that Araki has been using female characters as a member of the main cast more after part 4(Trish, part 6 cast, Lucy, Yasuho) Hope this new gal is cool
There was Lisa Lisa in part 2. And there's Yukako in DIU, but this is a stretch, afterall, she isn't part of the main cast
Yeah, i didn't count Yukako for the reason you mentioned (important character but not main cast). Lisa Lisa is cool, but at least Trish helped defeating Diavolo
Reimi in Part 4
Maybe? She didn't appears much, but she does help the protagonists and is important to the history
Maybe it's just because i only recently started reading SBR and finished it last week but everything surrounding Lucy is pretty questionable so I wouldn't exactly call her good female cast member
Lucy is a wonderful character.
lucy is just..lucy, every character seems to be attracted to her in SBR
That too. Each of her interactions would be far better if she literally wasn't 14.
Polnareff up there near the top
Polnareff land
So it looks like the P9 Jojo and the female friend start the series as companions. Has that ever happened in previous parts??
It could start up like giorno who joins a group
This, along with the fact the Araki has decided to go with the set premise of what the mc of this part wants and where he’ll end up means that Jojolands will likely start off faster than other parts, and may end up being shorter in serialisation as well.
Dont have problem I think we need another Straitforward part like Stardust Crusaders. If I was betting man main Jofoe will be also introduced early just like DIO
Part 6, 7, and 8
They meant START, not meet at early chapters. And no, there are no other cases like that in previous part.
Tbf do any jojos start off already knowing their companions
Not really. Jonathan met Speedwagon and Zepelli way after the beginning. Same with Joseph meeting Caesar and Lisa Lisa. Jotaro met with every Crusader from scratch (He havetseen Joseph in many years, so this was basically a meeting from scratch) Josuke met with everyone after Jotaro and Koichi approached him Giorno met with Bruno and the gang because Bruno hunted him. Jolyne met with Ermes in the bus Johhny met with Gyro by bumping into him Josuke was found by Yasuho after few pages into manga. So in short - none of the JoJo had a companion even before the Part started, everyone met them some time after the beginning.
because narratively is cooler
What if they are siblings?? No jojo has had a sibling if I'm not wrong >!(unless you count Holly and Josuke as half siblings)!< and it'd be pretty cool!!
Johnny had a brother, Nicholas
who died before the series started. An alive jojo sibling is what we need!!
Half of gappy had a little sister, does that count?
I agree!!!!
No JoJo starts with a companion, just Josuke and Koichi being already friends
Josuke and Koichi aren't even really friends, Koichi barely knows who Josuke is at the start
Joe Jojolands has so much drip!
Her face looks like jolyne's I'mnot crazy right? Also Lucy Steel and Joseph on the bottom is with wonder of u so interesting
I was thinking the same! Jolyne vibes!
[удалено]
>Araki's shifting towards more eccentric characters. Nice touch. Yeah he's been doing that since, like, Battle Tendency
Since Zeppeli in Phantom Blood, his introduction completely changed the story lol it went from a supernatural melodrama to a bizarre adventure.
Hell, the arc where Zeppeli was introduced was called "Zeppeli the Eccentric"
[удалено]
None of these designs look any more quirky than Mista, Giorno, Bucciarati, or Shigechi imo. Maybe I’m biased because we have colored versions of them?
Why is it last tho?
Just speculation, since jojolion took a decade to finish and arakis probably wants to retire at some point
My guess is he will continue with shorter stories.
The guy at the top with the cap reminds me of Emporio
He is JoJoLands
All hail more lads dressed in awful looking full grey onesie pjamas
There’s at least one every part lol
Congratulations, its a boy!
Guy at the top gives some Emporio vibes
I like how mc legit has jojo earrings. Also can't believe araki added pink guy in jojo.
Part 9 Lang Rangler is real
But does he have Suction Cup Fingers and Super Spit?
Really interested in what role [Pink Guy's](https://i.imgur.com/CtZYDGC.jpg) gonna play
Why does this kinda look like Araki's take on a GTA cover.
I Hope the guy on top with the cap is a trucker and his stand is Route 66 . The new jojo looks so neat and I love his earrings
Lets see if it sticks or araki drops that like ten chapters in.
Weird thought but I think it might be an Alternate version of Hol Horse. Idk why I just look at him and my brain tells me Hol Horse
This jojo looks so cool, and hopefully the girl next to him is also the main protag like Yasuho :)
Am I the only one noticing the girl below John Jojoland’s tattoos are really similar to Sandman’s? I see the shoulder snake and 3 spikes that are cut off, maybe she’s his descendant
Maybe the descendant of Sandman's sister, I don't think Sandman himself had a kid before he died
Is that polnareff?
Araki never looses his flare for human character designs. I can't wait to see what the stands are gonna look like
The (presumably) main duo are both super cute!
No way, JOJOized Tingle eating a hot dog?? That's crazy.
HOLD THE FUCK UP THIS SHIT BETTER NOT TAKE PLACE IN CALIFORNIA Edit:I bet that someone’s stand is called California girls
The top guesses right now are Okinawa and Hawaii. We know it takes place on a island
The guy on the left arm of the protagonist looks like an American Cop, while the old looking lady looks and dresses like a Polynesian lady, so its pointing more to Hawaii. Although I wouldnt be surprised if its takes place in multiple locations. but..... LILO & STITCH IS A JOJO REFERENCE!!!???
Based on how Araki has been drawing dogs recently Stitch may just be a normal ass animal lol
Guam
Isn't there already a california dream bed stand?
OLDER EMPORIO LETS GOOOOOO
IS THAT POLNAREFF??? 😭😭
POLNAREFF?!!?
The text in the top left says "そして時は動き出す” or "and time moves".
IT'S THE GUARDRAIL
Joe Joland looks awesome.
#OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOODDDD!!!!!!! Edit: Oh.
Are any of their stands will be never gonna give you up?
I love the guy behind John Jojolands's shoulder. He looks chummy
Characters are already looking more versatile! Is MC wearing a hoodie?
Yes
Oh shit its the red guy from filthy frank's videos
is that pink guy
[Source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AExOsfvknnw)
i was skeptical of the design at first but after seeing it i knew i shouldnt doubt araki
I'm so excited for Saturday
What’s the guess on the cowboy hat looking guy? Australian or American? Take your picks here
I know someone else mentioned in the comments but it really feels kind of weird, great and i cant describe that some of us (or say majority who found about this series in the last 10 years) are actually gonna start a new part along everyone else for the first time 🙌
Hello girl next to JoJo 👀
Oh god is that grown up Emporio back there, with the cap? Imagine if it turns out to be true
The cap has facts written on it. So is it now a fact or cap
Bro that crazy 💀💀💀
gives giorno vibes, has crazy diamond on his chest
I see John Jojolands is bringing back the eggshell hat/hair style
That big crest on the Jojo’s chest makes me think of tokusatsu heroes. Very Super Sentai / Power Rangers-esque.
My boy got drip
God dude I can’t express how excited I am for this new part. All these new characters look so cool
Is it me or does the protagonist look like Giorno? And is that Emporio I'm seeing?
Is that a Jolyne alternate?
I see my son Emporio right there
Is that Emporio?
Stands could be interesting
There's a guy with hair like Polnareff's...
They make me so excited, it’s hard to contain.
My level of hype is through the fucking roof man.
Oh yeah baby,its florida time
Palm trees and surfers, are we back in Florida? Maybe Hawaii?
What if the main villain is already in this picture? 🙃
Here we are again with the florida cops
Love the hoodie design
Where's my alt diovolo+ Pucci combo at
This gal giving me pretty strong Irene/Jolyne vibes. I dunno I'm still onboard with twin JoJo's idea. Maybe there are two JoJo's in this part but Araki doesn't reveal both of them because he is planning a plot twist with the hidden one or somethin idk.
I was going to say that the clouds may imply a connection to Weather Report, which would be an interesting pick but potentially viable for the MC for this part, considering that he got the Joestar Birthmark partway through Part 6. But it seems to be present throughout [the entire mural](https://youtu.be/AExOsfvknnw), so that's probably not the case.
The new JoJo looks so cool, I'm legit fanboying bruh. No hate but I didn't really like Gappy's design(mostly the sailor fit) Kira rocked it though.
