For those of you wondering when the Thanksgiving Special takes place, I've dropped a hint in the chapter.


CoolK: I actually had an idea for the friends hangout with Toga and Santana, but it wouldn't fit in with this chapter. Don't worry though, I'm definitely using your idea!

AshenOne/Spaghetti sauce: Dabi's reasoning will be explained in time, let's just say that the Necromancer would be a fool to trust him.

Balanced goose: Don't worry, this isn't the end of the story, I still have two seasons and a few loose ends to tie up. This is the final battle with the Necromancer. Also, LOVE the stand idea!

Born-From-Black-Lightning: Kick ass username my guy. Also, good idea!

jkgaming: I don't know, it's hard to say, considering the lack of MHA characters in the game. I would predominantly use Steel Ball Run and Stardust characters.

Euphoria: You, my friend, are BRILLIANT!

FinchFlyingAce: Don't worry, some named characters will have on screen deaths too...as for other named characters that fell to the Necromancer...well...not really anyone important to the story. As for the stand sheet...it's coming, I can assure you, I'm just refining it.

Guest: *sad violin music*

Mr- SandIsComicsMadder: Oh, he WILL.

Death Omen Star: That would be interesting, but unfortunately I've already confirmed that Avdol is in heaven during Hol Horse's death. Still, it could end up being a gag.

Humble3dore: The final battle for this arc, yes. The Necromancer is gonna give it his all.


Johnny deadpanned as Joseph slammed a raw bird onto the table.

"Turkey."

"Yes."

"You got the sweet potatoes?"

"Yeah...you do know that nobody actually celebrates Thanksgiving in Japan, right? It's an American holiday."

"Well maybe I want to start a new tradition! If I'm going to be living in Japan long term, I'm still going to celebrate what I celebrate!"

"Yare yare...you know the others are going to be confused."

"That's their problem!"

Johnny sighed and pulled out a sack of sweet potatoes. "Alright...if you insist, I guess we're celebrating Thanksgiving."

"Hell yeah!" Joseph grabbed the potatoes and headed to the kitchen.

They were currently in Joseph's apartment, and he was extremely excited for the dinner he had planned. Even though Thanksgiving was exclusive to America...

Johnny was pretty sure Joseph just wanted the meal, but it WAS a nice gesture.

Johnny pulled out his phone and texted Izuku.

Horseshoe: Hey Broccoli.

Parsley: Hi JoJo!

Parsley: Oh, this is a new one.

Horseshoe: Kyoka is very creative when she's making fun of people. Is your mom on board with theThanksgiving dinner?

Parsley: Yeah! She's super excited for it! Even though we still have no idea what Thanksgiving is or what it is about.

Horseshoe: Well, it started because of a feast between the English settlers and the Native Americans, it was a whole 'we are friends' kind of thing.

Parsley: That's nice!

Horseshoe: The settlers then proceeded to force them out of their lands and screw them over for centuries, treating them like second class citizens.

Parsley: You...celebrate that?

Horseshoe: No, the holiday kind of turned into expressing thanks for everything in our lives. A day of gratitide. Still pretty scummy of them though. Either way, Gramps is VERY excited for it, he almost broke his table with the turkey.

Parsley: He gets excited about a lot of things.

Horseshoe: So do you. Anyway...we need ingredients for the pumpkin pie, and I was wondering if you would like to go help me get them.

Parsely: Sure! We can get the group together if you want.

Horseshoe: Alright, see you then.

Parsley: See you! Oh...by the way, do we need an actual pumpkin?

Horseshoe: ...


"Time to meet the boyfriend, for REAL this time!" Kyotoku Jiro said, cracking his knuckles.

"Dad, my boyfriend could beat you up in half a second." Kyoka replied. "Did I mention he threw a tank the other day?"

"A-a tank you say? Well...perhaps I should take it easy on him."

"Yare yare...and you better be on your best behavior too, Mom."

"Why Kyoka, why would I cause trouble for you? If these people are going to be in-laws some day-"

"MOM!"

"-We need to make a good first impression! Besides, I really want to get to know this boy."

"Yeah, well I want to get to know him too, that way I can decide whether to hate him or not." Kyotoku added. "I swear, if he's perving on my daughter..."

"He's not! Well...I suppose he is a little bit..."

"I KNEW IT! LET ME AT 'IM, I'LL-"

"Dad...please, I know you're messing with me, but when we get there...can you drop the tough guy act and actually get to know him? I'm...really serious about this."

Kyotoku sighed and smiled. "Of course, Kyoka. I know how you feel about him, and...he's had such a great effect on you. I'll be nice."

"Thank you."

"But I'm not giving up the overprotective act! Once the dinner is over, I'll go right back to it! I'll-"

*jab*

"OW! I'LL BEHAVE! I'LL BEHAVE!"

Kyoka retracted an earphone jack and huffed. "You better."


"So...this lady, Enya, made your uncle Polnareff lick a toilet."

"He has a terrible history with bathrooms, but yeah, Gramps loves to tease him with that story." Johnny said with a grin. "He'll be there today, so you'll probably hear it."

"Justice sounds like a terrifying stand...it reminds me of Don't Fear the Reaper..." Izuku shuddered.

"Both bastard stands we don't have to deal with anymore." Johnny replied. "You know, my dad actually defeated her by inhaling it with Star Platinum."

"He inhaled her stand?!"

"Suffocated the bitch." Johnny said simply. "It was before he could stop time too."

"Your family is always coming up with clever plans, huh?"

"It's a Joestar thing. You should ask him how he tricked her the guest book."

"A GUEST BOOK?!"

"A guest book."

Izuku shook his head as the two entered the grocery store...

Only to stop as he saw the entire place trashed beyond repair, aisles were tipped over, people were running around screaming, and raw turkeys were running around, attacking and smothering people.

"THAT'S RIGHT! I HOPE YOU ALL GET SALMONELLA!" Some woman with a side cut was yelling, pepper spraying everyone who got near her. "THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR MURDERINH THESE POOR DEFENSELESS ANIMALS!"

Johnny and Izuku slowly turned to look at each other.

"Stand user?"

"Stand user."

"Seems a little crazy."

"We've taken down crazier."

"You're right, this shouldn't take too long."

The two walked up to the woman and stood in her path. "Oi, Karen!" Johnny shouted, and the woman angrily swung around.

"IT'S LINDA!"

"Yare yare...of course you're a Linda" Johnny said. "Look...Izuku, you're the better negotiator, you take a crack at it."

"Ma'am? Listen, we're just trying to make sense of all this...it looks like you're disturbing the peace...and we're heroes so...just explain what you're doing so this doesn't have to get messy."

"I'm with PETA!"

"Yare yare, of COU-" Izuku clamped a hand over Johnny's mouth before he could provoke Linda the Turkey Lady further.

"PETA...that organization has a bit of...controversy...doesn't it?"

"We're willing to do what other animal rights activists aren't! I'm liberating these turkeys!"

"They're already dea-" Izuku shut Johnny up again.

"Well, I can certainly see why you would be angry, the way that meat is brought into the industry is inhumane, but is it really something to attack people over?"

"It's Thanksgiving..." Linda the Turkey Lady snarled, hate dripping off of the word. "The day in which all of these GLUTTONS, cannibalize these poor majestic creatures, all because they want to feel...THANKFUL! THESE TURKEYS CAN'T FEEL GRATEFUL!"

"Ma'am...this is Japan. We don't even celebrate that holiday here." Izuku stressed. "And even if we did...people eat meat, I'm not saying YOU have to, but...human are omnivores, it's in our nature. You just have to respect other people's choices..."

"NO! WE MUST LIBERATE THE TURKEYS! MY ARMY WILL SEE TO THAT!"

"Izuku, I think it's obvious she can't be reasoned with, we're dealing with someone who can reanimate dead turkeys and calls them 'her army ', she's a bona fide crazy." Johnny said. "We're gonna have to do things the Kujo way."

"I was hoping to avoid a scuffle...but I guess I was asking for too much. I'm sorry Ma'am...but we're bringing you i-"

Linda the Turkey Lady pepper sprayed Izuku in the face and ran deeper into the store.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! MY EYEEEESS! JOJO HELP!"

"THAT DOES IT!" Johnny said, summoning Tusk Act 4. "I'm gonna cook HER like a goddamn turkey!"

"Chumi~min!"

Izuku, who was now sporting the red and puffy look, only grunted in response, powering up OFA.

"All of my defeathered and violated warriors! SMOTHER THEM IN YOUR RAW JUICES!" Linda's voice came from the speakers.

"...wut?..."

Johnny and Izuku both screamed as several raw turkeys came flying at them, and buried them in a dogpile.


"Ey!"

Kyoka and her family turned to see Gyro running towards them, a big grin on his face. "Gyro!"

"Who's this?" Mika asked.

"This is one of my best friends, Gyro Zeppeli! Gyro, these are my parents."

"Yeah, I can tell! I can see the family resemblance!" Gyro said, shaking both of the Jiros hands. "It's nice to meet you guys! Your daughter has been quite helpful, helping out a foreigner such as myself!"

"I'm glad to hear it!" Kyotoku said with a grin. "Although you can barely tell, your Japanese is fantastic!"

"Thanks! Have you guys bumped into Johnny yet?"

Kyoka shook her head. "He said that he was going to the store with Izuku to help get ingredients for dessert. Oh! Mr. Joestar is inside cooking, I'm sure he'd love to get to know you!"

"He's your mentor's father, right?" Mika asked, and Kyoka nodded.

"He looks a lot younger than he actually is due to a few...incidents, but he's the eldest living member of the Joestar family. Gives off BIG grandpa vibes."

"The man's a bit mischievous though, NEVER get in a poker game with him, you will definitely lose money." Gyro advised, and Kyoka's parents both nodded.

"Welp, time to socialize with the future in-laws!" Mika said as she climbed the stairs to Joseph's apartment.

"MOM!"

"I see where you get your love of teasing people from." Gyro said, and Kyotoku laughed.

"Yep...better let that boyfriend of yours know what he's getting into."

"Dad..."

"I'll stop! I promised I would drop the tough guy act, remember?"

Kyoka aimed her earphone jacks at her father. "You better."

Gyro just stood there grinning. She's literally the two of them combined, snarky, and a softie trying to act tough, that's adorable.

"What're you grinning at, Meatball?"

"Just...appreciating the moment."


"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" Tusk finished pummeling the last of the turkeys off of them, littering the floor with smashed meat.

Izuku grabbed a turkey by the legs and began beating the others with it, swinging it around and clearing the path for the two of them advance.

Johnny and Izuku ran down an aisle and came to a giant fort made out of toilet paper. Turkeys began to rain hell down upon them, pelting them with all sorts of meats. One turkey pulled out a sausage and jumped onto Izuku's back, beating him over the head with it.

"OWOWOWOWOW! It's FROZEN!" Izuku yelled, and Johnny shot the turkey off of him.

"This is getting REALLY annoying." Johnny said, batting a turkey aside.

"THAT'S RIGHT! SMOTHER THEM IN THE MEAT! SMOTHER THEM!" Linda the Turkey Lady hollered over the speakers.

Johnny took a turkey and ripped a leg off, and began rotating the leg in his palm, gradually increasing the speed.

"What are you doing?" Izuku asked.

"Giving Linda a message. You see, the more I rotate this leg, the more kinetic energy it builds up, until eventually..."

Johnny held up the turkey leg as it began to spin faster and faster, until it came to a stop, perfectly cooked. He looked directly into a security camera, and proceed to take a bit bite out of it, giving Linda the finger.

"KILL HIM! KILL HIM! TAKE THEM BOTH, AND STUFF THEM! DO UNTO THEM WHAT THEY DO TO YOUR BRETHREN!"

"JoJo..."

"Yes?"

"What did she mean by, 'stuff them'?"

"She wants to shove cornbread up our assholes."

"...I see..."

Turkeys began surrounding the two, menacingly holding the ingredients to make stuffing, and one of them had a broken plunger, and was tapping it against it's wing, radiating malice.

"JoJo?"

"Hm?"

"I have never been more frightened of poultry in my life."

"Izuku, calm down."

"What are they going to do with that plunger, JoJo?"

"They're just normal dead birds, we can take them."

"WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH THE PLUNGER, JOJO?!"

"Use it to stuff us, probably."

Izuku put his hands together. "Yeah...no."

"Come on Izuku." Johnny said, stifling laughter.

"LISTEN! There needs to be a moment where every man has to draw a line in the sand, where he has to look at himself, and ask: 'What am I willing to do today?'"

"Izuku."

"NOT. THIS!"

"This is your Konk situation, isn't it?"

"I'M NOT HAVING CORNBREAD SHOVED UP M-"

"ATTACK MY PRETTIES, ATTAAAAACK!"

"Oh for FUCKS SAKE!"


"Come right in! Make yourselves comfortable!" Joseph said, grinning as he waved everyone in.

"Gramps, where is my son?" Jotaro asked. "He's supposed to be helping you."

"I sent him on an errand...although now that you mention it, it HAS been a while..." Joseph said, scratching his stubble. Ever since he was de-aged, he had been trying to grow the beard back.

"Should I go look for him?" Giorno Giovanna asked, raising an eyebrow. "We know how his luck is when it comes to...sticky situations..."

"Sticky situations?" Kyotoku asked, an eyebrow raised.

"People in our family have a tendency to run into villains." Jolyne explained. "Knowing Johnny and Midoriya, they're probably meddling in some villain's robbery or some shit...those two just can't resist."

"Well, I'm not starting dinner without them!" Joseph said. "Thanksgiving is about FAMILY!"

"Oh, I do hope my baby isn't over his head...then again, Johnny has always been watching over him." Inko said. "Still, a mother worries."

"Not our mother." Jolyne muttered.

"Alright, Giorno, you can go look for him." Jotaro said and Giorno nodded.

"I'll be back with them shortly."

Giorno exited the apartment, fastening one of his ladybug brooches as he went down the stairs.

"Your uncle certainly has an interesting fashion sense." Mika observed. "Not criticizing, just curious."

"I actually have no idea why he dresses like that...although I guess my style is kinda bizarre too." Jolyne said, looking at her spider-web patterned suit. "I mean, Dad is still wearing a version of his school uniform."

"Oi, it works."

"Hey! What do you have against school uniforms?" Josuke asked, offended, earning a snort from his prodigy.

"Mr. Josuke, you still look like a high schooler."

"Kyoka, my dad looks twenty, and he's almost a century old."

"That is partially YOUR fault Josuke." Joseph said, sitting down. "Well, I suppose we should all sit down and have a chat, since we have to wait a little while."

"Yeah..." Kyoka said, silently worrying about the other two. You two better be okay...

"So...Dr. Kujo, what do you think about your son's relationship with our daughter?" Kyotoku asked.

"DAD!"

"I think they were meant for each other. She has made my son the happiest I have ever seen him, he...wasn't really in a good place before he met her. I'm not much for mushy stuff but...I'm looking forward to the future those two will bring." Jotaro replied, making eye contact with Kyoka. "I owe your daughter a lot."

Kyoka blushed and looked down, tapping her earphone jacks together. Gyro elbowed her in the side, flashing her a grin.

Kyotoku exchanged a look with Mika and sighed. "I feel the same way. Kyoka made me promise to drop the overprotective parent act, so I'll give in just this once. Kyoka...you've really grown, you're not the same daughter that used to sit by herself in her room and just listen to music...and it's all because of your son. I may have never officially met him...but seeing my little girl finally come out of her shell...he has already done enough to earn my approval."

Kyoka's eyes widened. "Dad..."

"I'm not telling HIM that though, I want him to at least TRY to work for it."

"I am grateful for your son too, Jotaro." Inko said. "I'm glad Jiro here is making him happy, because if it weren't for him...Izuku would be a VERY different person than he is today. Johnny was Izuku's first true friend...and I owe you and him the world."

"Thank you Inko, I know that Izuku was just as important to him."

Joseph was listening into the conversation, a smile slowly growing on his face. Now they're getting into the spirit.

"Where the hell is my fiance?" Jolyne wondered. "He was supposed to be here twenty minutes ago."

"HERE!" Anasui came running in. "I'm sorry...I just realized I never bought you a ring, so-"

"Narciso, you really think I care about a band of metal with a rock on it? I care about YOU."

"I know, but-"

"You went out of your way to buy me a ring, several weeks after you proposed, just before an important family dinner?"

"...yes?"

"Yare yare dawa...you're lucky you're cute."

"I have the ring."

"Okay, you already proposed, so I'll just put it on later. In the meantime, we were talking about the things we are thankful for, you want to put anything in?"

"I am thankful for Jolyne, and only Jolyne."

"Yare yare dawa..."

"You know, growing up with a single mother and my grandfather, we never really had big family dinners like this." Josuke said. "I think I'm just grateful that I get to do this...even if my mother can't be here due to...personal reasons."

"It's a shame Diego and Hot Pants were busy...I'm sure they would have loved this." Gyro added. "But they have work to do...we should be lucky that Giorno managed to show up. I'm...in the same boat as you Josuke, while my father meant well, I didn't really have a wholesome, loving family life...until I met this depressed crippled kid in the middle of the desert, Nyo Ho! I'm thankful for all of you."

Kyoka smiled. "Me too...I never imagined that I would become involved with so many amazing people, and that includes you two." Kyoka pointed at her parents. "Mr. Josuke...I'll always look up to you, you took me and made me into a hero, even at my lowest point. Dr. Kujo, Mr. Joestar, Jolyne, Izuku, YaoMomo, this meatball sitting next to me, grinning like a jackass...Johnny. I am forever grateful for you all."

"I wish Shizuka could've made it, I'm sure she would have loved to get to know you all." Joseph said, sitting down. "But Holly will be here soon...Jiro, get ready, she might start coddling you."

"Oh dear..."


"Hello?" Momo Yaoyorozu stuck her head inside the store, accompanied by Giorno. "JoJo? Midoriya? Gyro texted me to make sure you were..."

"STUFF THEM! STUFF THEM! COOK THEM ALIVE MY TURKEY ARMY!"

"NONONONONONONONONONONO!" Izuku yelled, kicking several turkeys away using his Shoot Style. "YAOYOROZU, HELP!"

"What on Earth?" Momo breathed out.

"Oh hi YaoMomo, you want to help us re-kill turkeys?" Johnny asked, re-killing a turkey.

"This is officially the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Alright, er...Mr. Giovanna, a little help?"

Giorno sighed. "They could've probably handled this themselves, but I suppose we could help out, make it go a bit quicker."

GER materialized and touched the ground, and vines began growing from the ground, wrapping around the remaining turkeys, and Johnny began shooting them while they were restrained.

Linda emerged from the security office, snarling, and held up a PETA flag, planting it in a piece of lettuce. "FOR. PETAAAAAAAAA!"

Johnny turned to find her charging at them with a crying pan. "Is she charging, or...?"

"I think she's power walking." Izuku responded.

"She is taking an awful long time." Momo noted.

"I could track down Diavolo again in the time it is taking her to actually attack us."

"My stand, Turkey Song, will rip you all to shreds!" Linda called out.

"Why aren't you running? This is taking forever." Johnny responded.

"I'm getting my steps in for my FitBit!"

Linda turned down an aisle, and suddenly the heroes were being pelted with celery sticks. Giorno sighed. "This is pointless...there isn't even a reason to use GER on her."

"Yeah, just a low level crazy...but she's persistant. The most she can do is throw food at us."

"Well...maybe it's time someone beat her at her own game." Giorno said, grabbing a discarded jug of laundry soap. "GOLD EXPERIENCE!"

The group watched as the jug turned into a living turkey before their eyes, and it immediately ran off down the aisle, and Linda began screaming.

"I thought she loved turkeys." Johnny said with a smirk. "I guess that's PETA, for you, bunch of goddamn hypocrites."

"PETA..." Giorno said quietly. "Did you just say that she's with PETA? The 'animal rights' organization that kills more animals than they save?"

"Why yes, that would be the one. She was going around attacking the customers in the name of her 'righteous mission'." Izuku said. "She wouldn't listen to reason either."

Giorno began rolling up his sleeves.

"Oh shit, she's DEAD." Johnny said. "Never mess with the REAL animal lover."

"She wants to save the turkeys so bad...she can have them. GOLD EXPERIENCE!"

GER began pummeling every object in sight, and turkeys began overwhelming their undercooked counterparts, swarming Linda and pecking away at her.

The turkey lady could only scream as she fell upon her own sword.

The manager came out from underneath a table and ran over to the others. "Thank you for saving my store from that...horrible woman. I owe you!"

"Er...your welcome." Izuku said.

"This is the second time we've been invaded by a stand user, the last one forced everyone out, and this purple-haired hero-in-training had to fight him off."

"That...would be my girlfriend." Johnny said with a smile.

"Ah! I see! Well, as a token of gratitude, you can take what you want, free of charge!"

"Well...we DO need ingredients for pumpkin pie..." Izuku muttered towards Johnny.

"This is why we fight the turkey ladies of the world Izuku. You never know when someone will decide to return the favor." Johnny said with a grin, turning to the manager. "Alright sir, I think we know what we want, and don't worry about the damage, we have a guy for that."

"Thank you!"

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! I DEFEND THESE ANIMALS, I'M THEIR SAVIOR!" Linda the Turkey Lady screamed.

"You don't defend anything other than your ego. You don't give a damn about anybody but yourself." Giorno said as his turkeys continued to maul Linda.

"All hail Uncle Giorno...the Turkey KING!" Johnny yelled, pumping his fist into the air.

"I never agreed to that title."

"But you EARNED it!"

"I came here to see if you two were alright...and now I'm surrounded by birds that aren't even native to this country." Momo said. "I'm really deep in this now, aren't I?"

"You get used to it after a while." Izuku replied.

...

"So, the boyfriend finally arrives..." Kyotoku said, standing up with a menacing smile on his face.

"Kyo...remember what you promised our daughter."

"I'm glad!" Kyotoku said, sitting down. "Come on kid, it's time we got to know you a little bit."

Kyoka walked up to Johnny and stopped, grabbing the front of his shirt and sniffing it. "You smell like a three course meal."

"We got attacked by one."

"I see. Well, I'm glad the two of you are okay...*sniff*"

"Are you still smelling me?"

"I'm sorry, it smells really good. Come on Lover Boy, time to meet my parents."

Kyoka pulled Johnny over to talk with Kyotoku and Mika, while Izuku was currently being crushed in his mother's embrace. "MY BABYYYYY! I WAS SO WORRIED!"

"Mom! I'm fine! The stand user was easy to take care of!"

Gyro patted Izuku on the shoulder as he passed, and went over to Momo. "Thank you for checking on them."

"Of course! They're our friends after all...I should probably leave, I wasn't invited after all-"

"NONSENSE!" Joseph yelled from the kitchen. "Thanksgiving is for everyone! You're staying for dinner, and that's that!"

"Yeah, besides, Johnny brought his girlfriend over, can't see why I can't bring mine!" Gyro said with a grin, and Momo blushed. "Oh come on, this isn't new."

"You actually referring to me as such is."

"Well, the game's over. We can finally say it without worrying about wins or losses, and I'm taking FULL advantage of that."

"I'm still not satisfied with the ending." Momo said, pouting.

Giorno was now wearing a crown made of turkey feathers that Johnny had fashioned for him, deciding to fully embrace the title of Turkey King, Jolyne was trying her hardest to hold back her laughter.

Holly Kujo was making conversation with Inko, both holding thier respective sons, it was clear that the two had found some common interests. Jotaro and Izuku shared a look.

Finally, Joseph came in with a cooked turkey, and set it on the table. "DINNER IS SERVED!"

Johnny smiled as he looked at his friends and family interacting and having fun with each other, digging into the food. Kyoka took his hand under the table, and Gyro and Izuku were currently poking at each other.

This was what HE was grateful for.

Then a hand popped out of the turkey's rear end, Johnny and Izuku immediately stood up...

Only to find it was a mechanical hand, and Joseph was sitting across the table with a smug look on his face, holding up his stump.

"SHITTY OLD MAN!"
