The Joestar That Everyone Forgot About

Possibly the most wasted potential from a character in the entire series, Let me know what you guys think about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure having a part focused around grown up Shizuka Joestar.

She isn’t just invisible to the eyes but also to the rest of the storyline.

I love how she painted a star on her neck to feel like a real joestar and not adopted, looks so cute.

Shizuka having parents at adulthood is possible, Joseph has hamon, some DIO blood, the speedwagon foundation, and the luck to survive a literal volcano eruption.

“The most forgotten Jojo is Shizuka!”

George joestar II: . . .

Shizuka's parent's aren't missing. She made them invisible.

I also think Joseph was fucking with people by acting old and frail after being caught with an illegitimate child. I find it hard for a man who had a reputation as a trickster to not use it to his advantage.

I imagine Joseph or Suzie Q would eventually hand her over to the Speedwagon foundation instead of taking care of her themselves, finding her a permanent home with stand users. Since she's young enough, she wouldn't know any different. You know Tomoko would take care of a child if Joseph asked her to.

Shizuka Joestar is actually in Jojo but her stand made the part invisible.

[Stalutes]

I love the idea of a rebellious shizuka getting a tatoo of the joestar birthmark against joseph’s wishes. It works so god damn well.

[phoenixlord]

Ah, yes, “Joesph would clearly be dead by the time she is a teenager”. Also Joesph: Still alive during part 6.

i gotta love how people always say jonathan is basic and every other jojo faced tragedies compared to him, like bruh my mans lost his father, his home, almost his wife, numerous friends then his life

[killrbladz]

You know why she never got a part?

Because she used her invisibility to sneak out of Araki’s memory.

[JoekuRose]

I would’ve loved if she picked up Joseph’s “Your next line will be” thing

"the Joestar everyone forgot"
George Joestar and George Joestar the 2nd: *laughs in dead*

I like that this show wasn’t about just a main character and his Journey. It about a main character descendants become a main characters and make a name for themselves. It also help when they don’t have that many kid.

[ivanng]

Joseph: Your next line is"Your time has come."
Death: Your time has come
Death: Nani?
Joseph: *NIGERUNDAYO*

[pangolinh]

koichi: **exists**

jotaro: what’s a jolyne?

[He_ladero]

Bro, she's in every part. She's just, invisible

[doom]

I like to think after joeseph and suzie Q passed, shizuka would have been sent to morioh, her original home, to live with josuke, the inheritor of Joseph’s fortune, probably getting raised by tomoko. Then they have a bizarre adventure trying to find her real parents or discovering some secret left behind by Joseph.
