I kinda hinted at this revelation back in Spirit Tracks, where it was shown that George Joestar III was the reincarnation of his two predecessors. Disclaimer: I don't own Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Danganronpa, or the Evillious Chronicles.
Jojolion Chapter 37: A Joestar Reborn
Maki didn't find Kaito in his student lab, which looked like an entire astronaut training camp instead of just a few simulators, but rather training with Hajime, Akane, Kiyotaka, and Hiyoko. His Stand seemed to be a modified space suit that looked very sci-fi, being so streamlined, along with a ray gun that could also lob explosive spheres. "Oh hey," Kaito said, "Maki Roll, was it?" Maki nearly teared up at hearing that nickname again. Kaito seemed to notice, because he said, "Uh... Did I say something wrong?" "No, it's fine," Maki said, "Just... Just remembering the past is all."
"Well, don't get caught up in it," Kaito said, "My old man always said that if you get stuck in the past, you'll never have a future. But you can't let go of it either, because then you'll just repeat it." "You sound a lot like him," Maki noted, "But different at the same time. Hold on... Your father is still alive?" "Well, yeah," Kaito replied, "Why, is it different for the other me?" Maki remembered that Shuichi mentioned V3 Kaito was raised by his grandparents. "It kind of was," Maki finally said, "So, what was that Stand you were using?"
"I call it Intergalactic," Kaito explained, "I thought it appropriate since it's space-themed. I mean, it's only fitting that the Luminary of the Stars has a space-themed Stand, right!?" Maki laughed. "Yes. I suppose it does." They walked to the cafeteria and sat down. "So," Kaito said, "I'm told you're also supposed the be the Ultimate Assassin. I gotta admit, it's kinda freaky. But you seem like the sort of strong-willed woman who could handle it." "Well, most of the time," Maki admitted. She talked about the time she nearly got caught while tracking a target at a cosplay convention. "Since then I've never used a katana."
Kaito looked dumbfounded. "I mean... It'd be cute if it wasn't so humiliating for you. Not to mentioned you probably got in a lot of trouble." Maki sighed in relief. "Thanks for understanding. The only reason I got away with little more than a lecture was because no one managed to figure out what I was really there for." "Seems to me the other me was trying to tear down the wrong mask," Kaito noted, "It's not that you're not a killer. You never would have volunteered otherwise. It's that you care more about people than you let on. You just don't want them to get too close, in case something bad happens." Maki smiled warmly. "I almost wish it had been you in my old world."
Shuichi was talking with Rantaro and got a lot of his backstory, like how he lost his sisters and earned his title as Ultimate Adventurer by finding them scattered across the world. "My family is pretty well off," Rantaro explained, "So well off in fact that a lot of people wanted money from my folks. In the end none of them got a single cent. I also met a lot of Stand users like myself as a result of my travels. And that ties into the reason why I've been talking with Mister Kakyoin." "How do you mean?," Shuichi asked. Rantaro finished his tea. "About a year ago, I was working with Passione while they were trying to find a cult that had gotten hold of a certain stone mask."
"The kind that turns people into vampires," Shuichi noted, having heard about the Joestar family history. Rantaro nodded. "I had reason to suspect this cult had one of my sisters and was trying to get money to fund themselves. They were sequestered in a cave system behind the Mouth of Truth in Rome's Coliseum. It's where they found the stone mask, near where the Gigan Wamuu and his former masters once slept. They had already created a few vampires using the mask. Before one of them could attack my sister, I unleashed my Stand. It actually surprised Passione."
He closed his eyes, and Shuichi gasped as a male humanoid with an Egyptian hawk's head appeared. "That can't be!," Shuichi called out, "That's the Stand Ra! But it was Jonathan Joestar's Stand, and he died in Egypt back in 1989!" "That he did," Rantaro admitted, "You're looking at his reincarnation. My talks with Mister Kakyoin were interviews to see if I remembered anything from Jonathan Joestars life. As it turns out, I remember a lot. How DIO tried to get his hands on the Joestar fortune, Joseph training at the Hell Climb Pillar, the journey to Egypt."
He chuckled at Shuichi's bewildered expression. "But don't get it twisted. Only my soul is that of Jonathan Joestar, hence why we have the same Stand. I may have his memories, but a completely different personality. And I can't use Hamon. This has actually allowed me to develop Ra's power more, since Jonathan could just boost its power with Hamon to augment its light manipulation powers. Anyway, with a power like that destroying the vampires was easy and I was able to rescue my sister. She was the last one missing, as it happened."
Shuichi finally got over his surprise. "So, a Joestar returns. Well, sort of. But that does mean all nine 'Jojo' Stands are available if trouble should turn up. Then again, given the Speedwagon Foundation is trying to track down the Sin Stand users and the one controlling them... But what could their goal be?" "There might be one thing they could be after," Rantaro said, "I remember it from my previous life. Back in 1904 the notable occultist and magician Aleister Crowley wrote a book called The Book of the Law, which he claimed a mysterious voice was dictating."
"I read about that," Shuichi said, "The voice was supposed to be that of Aiwass, the messenger of Horus. Come to think of it, Jonathan was there when Crowley unveiled his book." Rantaro nodded. "Crowley said the contents of the book represented a new age where Man's Will would become Law. However, the book he presented... Wasn't the real book." Shuichi closed his eyes. "Can't say I'm surprised. Crowley was supposed to be a magician, so hiding the real book behind illusion and pomp wouldn't be beyond him. But then where is the real book?"
"That's beyond what my memories tell me," Rantaro admitted, "But Kakyoin said he knew, and he also knew why the book was so coveted. Supposedly the real book could change the course of human history just by reading it in it's original text. But no one can properly read it, except for a Stand user. Because apparently, Crowley himself was a Stand user, and his Stand's power was imparted into the book." "Hence the reason Honami wanted a Stand of her own," Shuichi realized, "So she could understand the text and read it to control the world herself. And she chose to perform the ritual of Original Sin so she'd have a guardian force at her disposal."
"We finally found it's location," Honami said, "The Book of the Law can be found within Twilight City." "Are you sure it's supposed to be here?," Sateriasis asked. "Only for a short period," Honami admitted, "And once that period is up it'll be moved elsewhere. But it will be here long enough for us to infiltrate the city and locate it. I was able to get insider information as to where the book is, so all we have to do is spread out throughout the area and find it. And remember..." The others turned towards Honami. She held up the chains, which started to spark without reaching them. "Bring the book straight to me without reading it when you find it." The seven Stand users gulped and nodded.
Yes, Twilight City is supposed to be Towa City from Danganronpa Another Episode. It was basically founded for the purpose of studying Stand power, and several of its citizens are Stand users. Anyway, I'm not gonna reiterate Ra's data since we've already seen it. But I will showcase Intergalactic.
