@streetplosion I think it is worth noting that characters in the sbr universe that are named after previous character rarely have next to no comparisons to their main universe counterparts so Josuke can still get a new ability or stand
I am calling right now and saying that Soft and Wet is going to pull a Tusk act 4/ GER and transform into a completely different stand to body Tooru
also I feel like there is going to be a stand called "Sleep Walk" soon cause Araki mentioned it in his author's notes a while ago but that...
Though seriously, I hope Joshu doesn't die and that thought isn't even factoring in whether or not you like the character, I just think that killing off Joshu now would be a very boring and not creative development and if Jojolion is anything, it is creative.
Also, man Joshu is not in the best state right now (though it is pretty understandable) and I am very curious to see how Araki will deal with him and hopefully give him his moment to redeem himself eventually.
Araki didn't retcon the bitemarks. Paisley Park was likely dormant for most of her childhood (note that we never maniefst) and only subconsciously helped Yashuo (think back to Giorno as a child) . Yashuo's interaction with the Wall Eyes just made it fully active , hence the bitemarks. Also...
Don't worry guys, Joshu isn't out of the fight just yet. The exchange appears to have only taken his arm and hasn't harmed him in any other way so he could still probably use his stand ability.
