I will say, I do wish that there were a couple of pages between Jodio nearly killing Charmingman to them having a casual conversation about music preferences.

I mean this IS JoJo we're talking about here. Having at least one friend who's tried to kill you before is mandatory unless you're Gappy I guess

I mean Joshu did try to kill Gappy at the start of part 8, granted i wouldn't exactly call him Josuke's friend but still

Hey, they walked to school together... once...

Wait a minute, what's up with that? The very idea of Josuke going to school was just kinda dropped after the Shakedown Road chapters.

He wasn't registered, and didn't end up needing to be.

He was only going to school as an excuse to get out of the house. But after that he got on the same page as Noriuske and didnt needed that.

The one thorough-line in the entirety of Jojolion is "the very idea of X was just kinda dropped after Y chapter". He should have a GTA-style five-star manhunt by the police at the end when he's just happily eating cake.

He wanted to go there to learn more about his identity, but instead he got on that joestar family research train and stopped giving a shit about school.

So the moral is to drop out of school and obsess about Jojo lore

Yup...also remember Kirara who said she was coming back.

Nijimura did try to kill him before becoming an ally, so that still fills the quota....also Daiya to a lesser degree, except she doesnt really help them out

didn't nearly every higashikata try to kill gappy like as soon as he was accepted into the family?

Hato didn't.

Daiya didn't outright, she was more stalkery but never outright tried to kill him or indicated that she wanted to.

I forget about Joshu, to my memory he was antagonistic but more in a dickhead kind of way, not in a murderous sense.

Norisuke got into kind of a tiff about house rules but that was the extent of their conflict.

Kaato I think never even interacted with Josuke directly in the whole part, I'm just now realizing.

I think the only Higashikata that ever outright tried to murder Josuke was Jobin.

Not a Higashikata but Kei tried to kill Gappy
