"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean" is the sixth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. The main character is Jolyne Kujo, the daughter of Jotaro Kujo, the main character of the third part, and it became a hot topic as she is the first female main character in the series. The second season will be broadcast in the fall of 2022, which is attracting attention. In this article, I would like to explain the main character, Jolyne Kujo, from various perspectives!
Introduction: What kind of story is it?
The story takes place in America in 2011. Jolyne Kujo, who was falsely accused of a crime, is imprisoned in prison. Jolyne awakens to the power of her Stand when a pendant given to her by her father, Jotaro, contains a fragment of an arrow. Jolyne is told by Jotaro that her imprisonment was a conspiracy and is urged to escape. However, the prison where Jolyne is is not only a place where dangerous criminals gather, but also where Stand users gather.
Kujo Jolyne's Profile
She is the protagonist of this work. She is the daughter of Jotaro Kujo and the first female protagonist in the JoJo series. She is 19 years old, 174 cm tall and weighs 57 kg. She has a distinctive hairstyle with a bun and braids, and her father Jotaro is divorced from her mother, so she grew up in a single-parent household. In the story, she gets caught up in various misfortunes, but she overcomes them with her natural cheerfulness and grows mentally. At first, the author, Hirohiko Araki, felt that it was difficult to depict a scene where a woman was beaten, but as time went on, he came to feel that such depictions were okay, and decided to make Jolyne Kujo the main character.
Why was she caught?
Jolyne was driving with her boyfriend at the time, Romeo, who she met, but he caused a traffic accident by hitting someone. Romeo persuaded her to put the body in her car and abandon it. By the way, Jolyne was not aware that she was abandoning the body. However, only Jolyne was arrested on suspicion of hit-and-run and abandoning a body, and was sent to a detention center.
From Detention Center to Prison
Even though she was tried and found innocent, her lawyer tempted her into agreeing to a plea bargain, saying, "If you plead guilty, you'll be found innocent," and she ended up serving a 15-year sentence. However, this was a trap set by Whitesnake to lure Jotaro.
Stand: Stone Free
Jolyne's stand is "Stone Free". Simply put, it is a stand with a thread theme. The thread is Jolyne's own body that has been untied, and if it is untied too much, it can be life-threatening. The thread can be moved freely as if it were a part of the body, and since it has the property of passing sound, it can also hear sounds from far away. It is also possible to weave the thread into a bulletproof vest or to sew up injuries. Since it can unravel itself, it can get into narrow spaces and create a "Mobius strip" around itself. Although it is a stand that assimilates with the body, it is a rare type of stand that cannot be detected by anyone other than the stand user.
What is the origin of the stand name?
According to one theory, the name of the Stand is said to refer to the Stone Mask, the root cause of the feud between the Joestars and DIO. It is also said that the name is meant to free the protagonist from the fate of the Joestar blood, that is, to make them free. This is only one theory, but it is a very convincing theory, so it seems that the author also had this in mind.
Summary of explanations about Jolyne Kujo
Jolyne Kujo is the first female protagonist in the series, but she has fighting power and mental strength that is equal to the male protagonists of the JoJo series up to that point. She has many perspectives and struggles that are unique to women, and while retaining the good points of the past JoJo series, I think she provides readers and viewers with new charms. The second season will start soon, but I recommend that you take a look back at the first season as a refresher! That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
