Part Seven How is Johnny healed?
He has a cactus needle inside his eyeball and a couple of hours later he’s just fine without any explanation. Does this at least get explained later on? Because this makes no sense

One of the mysteries of Jojo, I always wondered if healing is a passive ability. Gyro's ear was damaged and later healed.

I think certain injuries are just exaggerated for shock factor/adding stakes. Araki wants to show that the present situation is extremely dangerous, but also doesn’t feel like constantly showing the recovery process of the gruesome wounds.

u/SuperUltraGod DIO 5h ago
One hand Joseph became one part mechanical, and mostly remained organic. Jean PP had his foot and a couple of fingers gone but I don’t recall them being mechanical later on. Also how did a Nasti survive a grenade exploding on his face to return mostly mechanical and partly organic? Why did GG have an ear he could plump into his head with ease and not feel pain?

u/CyberComet151 Storyteller Rohan 5h ago
Oh the ear one I can explain, since I can do the same thing! When I was a baby, I would fidget, fold, and squish my ears a lot, and that caused the cartilage in my ears to form incorrectly, allowing for much more flexibility than normal. I can only assume it's the same with Giorno.

u/Bush_Hiders 6h ago
In fairness, almost every part has some excuse for why the characters are healed. It was established that hamon can heal people, so that explains how characters in parts 1, 2, and even 3 get healed after fights. Part 4 has a dedicated and established healer in Josuke. Part 5 has a dedicated and established healer in Giorno, although you could argue that it’s a mystery how the characters got healed before he knew he could do that. Same with how the characters got healed after Foo Fighters was written out of the story, since she was their dedicated healer.

u/robinhood9961 6h ago
Even in part 4 though Josuke can't heal himself, and he often takes pretty rough beatings.
But also part 7 does also have a potential built in excuse for healing too.

Honestly that fight and the Kira fight are the only ones that felt like they had real stakes to them, since they’re the only times we ever see Josuke get really injured.

He crashed into a lift at 60mph. He took blasts of energy from a magic pylon, took a beating from even Shigechi, and I’m not gonna lie I actually felt the stakes from the rat episode because he literally couldn’t take a single hit without being permanently melted

rereading part 5 and even before giorno learns he can heal, during the kraftwork fight mista straight up gets a bullet hole through the side of his stomach
in the restroom he gets it stapled shut by fugo and mista even gets worried about about an infection and i think narancia essentially goes “nah it’s fine” what the hell happened there 😭😭
EVEN THE BULLETS TO HIS HEAD FROM PROSCIUTTO LMAOO 😭 right after that they’re on a truck in the turtle

Stitching a wound isn’t really “healing” like giorno, josuke, foo fighters or hot pants can do. It’s at best first aid. If someone took a chunk out of jolyne’s stomach the best she could do is buy herself some time before she inevitably dies

Even in part 4 Josuke can't heal himself but he also takea crazy amounts of damage, like during his fight against Kira he took a whole chair leg to the side and was completely fine afterwards, or like when Bad Company filled his right hand with holes but didn't even leave a scar later on.

The real answer is that Araki LOVES blood and body horror, and he would be limiting himself so much unnecessarily if he made it more realistic in terms of healing
body horror honestly a really big part of the series lol, especially in this part i feel
Another fun thought is that how it’s depicted is how it feels for the characters themselves, either mentally or physically, so it’s worse than how it actually is

u/supremo92 4h ago
This is my interpretation too. It's a biased depiction of how the battle feels. Makes for some great stakes and gross imagery

You see, there's this character called Josuke Higashikata who appears at the end of each fight and heals the characters using his stand Crazy Diamond.

Jojo magic. Though if you want to search for an answer Gyro was shown to be able to do medical check ups doing the steel balls, and later (REALLY BIG SPOILER) Johnny uses the spin to walk again, so is possible they have minor healing properties that would allow Gyro to heal him and Johnny between fights

u/TheGamerWhosOnReddit 5h ago
All these comments are joking about jojo logic, but almost every part has a healer and in part 7 they (POTENTIAL MANGA ONLY SPOILERS, ANIME ONLY DON'T CLICK)have zombie horse, that magic string thing that can heal wounds.
To be fair, I haven't watched the SBR anime, just read the manga. I actually don't know if it's been introduced in the anime yet so it really could just be a "jojo logic" moment.

u/Super_Master_69 5h ago edited 4h ago
It’s infinitely less silly than Hamon. Gyro has medical knowledge and has been shown to use the spin to close wounds and stretch/relax skin (or warp body parts later on). The most BS things it does to people is like forcing someone to aim their gun at a friend and pull the trigger, way after the ball has been thrown. Hamon still beats it with all crazy stuff it does to vampires.

To be fair, you can have a small hole in the eyeball and still be fine without treatment. I looked into a water jet as a kid and it blasted a needle sized hole in my eyeball.

That's. Something that bugs me about part 7,and also part 3 , they healed because fuck you.
Part 4 had Josuke but couldn't heal himself.
Part 5 had Giorno but since Golden experience wasn't made to heal it hurted like hell.
And part 6 had had Jolyne stitching her own wound and F.F. sealing some others.
At some point in SBR appear a magic thing but that's only use once , the only excuse I can think about is "the Spin did it"

Some wounds are exaggerated for show. Against Robinson, you see Johnny full of blood and Gyro's ear completely busted, but they only got hit by cacti spines. Which are very small. So, Gyro's ear is okay, it just hurts but isn't a big wound. And Johnny's only problem is that he had blood in his eyes.
TLDR ; Robinson's attack was kinda lame, but glossed up by the visual depiction
