Another theme is that from birth we see things as black and white, but this produces a from what humanity really experiences. From these, the "curse" is lifted, this being the goal of the story. On the inside cover of volume 2, Araki explained that the "...lion" in the title comes from both the Christian concept of blessing and the gospels ("evangelion" in Greek), as well as the Ancient Greek myth of Pygmalion. ==Plot== Set in the same continuity as ''Steel Ball Run'', was devastated by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. In the aftermath, strange structures known colloquially as the appear all over . When a local college student named Yasuho Hirose finds a mysterious youth buried under one of the Wall Eyes, it sets off their adventure together to try to help the young man recover his memories of his life moments before Yasuho discovered him. After a fight with Yasuho's would-be suitor Joshu Higashikata that reveals the young man has a Stand, he and Yasuho seek out his identity. First believing him to be named "Yoshikage Kira", although Yasuho feels that the name "Josuke" fits the John Doe better, they head to Kira's apartment where they attacked by a man who is after Kira. The resulting fight allows young man to explore the extent of his Stand that he dubs Soft & Wet. After their attacker Ojiro Sasame, user of Fun Fun Fun, realizes that the young man is not Kira at all, Yasuho and Josuke head back to where he was found and find Kira's corpse, sparking a mystery of what happened to Kira and who Josuke really is. While attempting to figure out what she can from police reports, Yasuho leaves Josuke in the company of the Higashikata family for his safety. The patriarch puts Josuke in charge of taking care of his youngest daughter Daiya who has been blind from childbirth, but she uses the opportunity to seduce Josuke by placing him under the thrall of her Stand California King Bed. After thwarting Daiya and befriending her instead, Josuke learns that the Higashikata family is related to Kira though a marriage that took place a century ago between Johnny Joestar and Rina Higashikata. Both discover that Holy Joestar-Kira is the last of the line and is in Morioh. Josuke attempts to meet with her, but is attacked by the Stand Born This Way and saved by another, while Yasuho finally meets up with Holly, unaware that she is aided by her own Stand Paisley Park, to find that Holly has seemingly lost her memory due to an incurable disease. Elsewhere, Josuke tracks down his attacker, the Higashikata's maid Kyo Nijimura, who reveals to Josuke that she is Holly's daughter and believes the Higashikatas are to blame for her condition. She also reveals to Josuke that he is her brother Yoshikage Kira, but only in part, as he has been combined with a second unknown person. While trying to become more involved in the world, Josuke is taken to a nearby high school by Joshu, but they go down the infamous "Shakedown Road" where they are accosted by swindlers who have learned to use the Stand Les Feuilles that possesses the leaves of the gingko trees along the road. Joshu's own Stand Nut King Call is awoken by the events. Later, Josuke and Yasuho simultaneously learn of the fate of Johnny Joestar when he brought his wife, and the holy corpse, to Morioh to cure her, resulting in his mysterious death. Yasuho tries to research on her own, only to be "kidnapped" by Tsurugi Higashikata, Norisuke IV's grandchild, who explains to Yasuho his family's predicament and why he has been disguised as a girl for his whole life. Yasuho attempts to leave, but not before she is subjected to Tsurugi's Stand Paper Moon King, heavily disorienting her (and Josuke), eventually leading her back to Tsurugi's bunker where he apologizes for his actions. However, as she rests, she is attacked by Yotsuyu Yagiyama, who uses his Stand to try to draw out Paisley Park and Josuke for his ulterior motives of never having his memories restored. Josuke and Norisuke IV confront each other over what they have dealt with, only for Norisuke IV to tell Josuke that he wants to help him restore his memories as Kira to find a way to lift his family's curse. However, when they approach Tsurugi, they find it is a trap laid by Yotsuyu Yagiyama, who has tricked Tsurugi into helping him by giving him false hope that he found a cure for the curse. Yotsuyu uses his Stand I Am a Rock to try to kill Josuke, but Josuke decides to fight back, dragging Yagiayama into the depths of the ocean to get information out of him, but Yagiyama begins to crumble away into rocks, seemingly dying. Back on land, they discover Yagiyama is not apparently human at all, and that the mysterious fruit he had on him, which could possibly be a cure for the curse, is gone. Before all hope is lost, Norisuke IV uses his Stand King Nothing to track the fruit's scent, but feels that they may never properly find the real fruit. Dejected, Norisuke IV takes Josuke to his business, an upscale fruit parlor, when his eldest son Jobin appears, having returned from a business trip with an expensive and rare ''Dorcus titanus palawanicus'' stag beetle, which he soon gives to Josuke as a gift. As father and son catch up, Josuke notices that King Nothing has activated on Jobin's handkerchief, revealing that he has encountered the mysterious fruit. Josuke approaches Tsurugi, who has befriended the mysterious "cured" stone dog Iwasuke, for information on his father's Stand so they may learn about the fruit, but Tsurugi simply tells Josuke that he should try to trick his father into losing a bet. With Tsurugi's intel, Josuke challenges Jobin to a game of insect fighting with his new ''D. t. palawanicus''. After Jobin shows off his own ''palawanicus'' against an Asian giant hornet, they set their beetles against each other, with Josuke winning after having used Soft & Wet earlier to gather female stag beetle pheromones. However, Jobin, after shaving off an eyebrow desires a second match, and Josuke tricks him into betting his Lamborghini Gallardo, and Jobin decides to use his ''Allotopus rosenbergi'', which Josuke later learns from him has had a hole drilled into its head and filled with wax to make it act erratic when it melts. Through this, Josuke discovers that Jobin's Stand increases heat, but he manages to use the venom from the hornet to win by placing it in Jobin's wax. Just as he is about to leave with the key, Jobin's personality changes, demanding to know what Josuke is after. Elsewhere, Tsurugi gets the key from one of Josuke's Soft & Wet bubbles and is with Yasuho, who Tsurugi brought with him so she can use Paisley Park on Jobin's car's event data recorder to find out where he has been and where the fruit tree is, and discovers Paisley Park for herself. Elsewhere, Josuke discovers Jobin has induced a nosebleed in him with his Stand's ability, and tries to give Yasuho and Tsurugi more time by stalling, using the heat to activate the sprinklers in Jobin's live insect room to run away. Meanwhile, Yasuho and Tsurugi uncover through Paisley Park that Jobin met with an unknown man who they see holding a potted plant of the mysterious fruit, while Jobin decides to figure out more about Josuke. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「JoJolion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
