Jolyne Cujoh
Jolyne "JoJo" Cujoh (Japanese: 空条 徐倫, Hepburn: Kūjō Jorīn) is a fictional character in the Japanese manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. The main protagonist of the series' sixth story arc, Stone Ocean, Jolyne is falsely accused of murder by Dio's most loyal friend, Enrico Pucci, and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Eventually, from a pendant given to her by her father, Jotaro Kujo, she acquires her Stand, Stone Free (ストーン・フリー, Sutōn Furī), which gives her the ability to unravel her body into string. Originally having a strained relationship with him due to his long absence from the majority of her life, she vows to stay in prison in order to save her father and recruits a group of Stand users to help her in her quest to save Jotaro and defeat Pucci.
Araki created Jolyne as he felt that it is necessary of the series to have a female protagonist despite the editorial backlash and believes that the change of perspective towards female characters gives him a chance to show that they are able to fight. Jolyne was initially voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven before being cast in the anime adaptation by Fairouz Ai in Japanese onwards and Kira Buckland in English. Reception of Jolyne has been positive, with many critics praising her complex characterization and development from being a flawed person to becoming a strong-willed character.
Hirohiko Araki said that during the creation of his two-chapter manga Gorgeous Irene (1985), which features a female protagonist, he felt that a female protagonist would not do well with readers and thus gave up on turning it into a serial. Araki's editor during Stone Ocean's publication, Hideto Azuma, suggested that Jolyne be changed to a man as they could lose the interest of readers. Araki refused, explaining that that reasoning was exactly why Jolyne should be a woman. He has also said that public opinion had changed since the publication of Gorgeous Irene, allowing him to create a female protagonist that could fight and be placed in painful situations. He also felt that Jolyne saving her father shows her internal growth. In creating Jolyne's theme song for the anime, Yugo Kanno explained that since she is the first female protagonist he composed for, he wanted to harmonize her femininity and powerfulness and found it challenging.
In the video games JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven, Jolyne was voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro. In the anime adaptation of Stone Ocean, she is voiced by Fairouz Ai. Fairouz first encountered the series during her high school years when she encountered the many notable catchphrases on a video-sharing platform. Curious, she ended up mistakenly buying Stone Ocean, believing it was the first part before finding out about Phantom Blood's existence. She subsequently became a fan of the series and Jolyne Cujoh, referring to the character as her favorite of the series. During her audition, she was nervous and crying, believing she did not show all of her capabilities. The staff surprised her by letting her come with the staff the only people in the room and reciting the lines where she was told she got the role. She was directed to portray Jolyne the way she would be Jotaro's daughter and finds it difficult that she was too determined that her voice became rigid. She was also conscious of portraying the character's determination of saving Jotaro. Fairouz had been told by the director that Jolyne's voice would have to be stronger after episode 13, causing her to re-read the manga to be prepared. She also wanted to make sure that Jolyne does not sound as cool and low-pitch as Jotaro, wanting to make the character distinct vocally. Fairouz initially found it difficult to scream out Jolyne's "Oras", thus she sought out Daisuke Ono, who gave her advice on how to act it out. She reflected on how she had the lowest roles out of the cast and wants to use Jolyne as an opportunity for her career's growth. Though she felt she could not hear it clearly, the staff told her that she was getting better at it.
In the English dub of the anime, Kira Buckland voices the character. She expressed her disbelief and cried when hearing her voice as Jolyne. She had practiced screaming Jolyne's cries of "Ora", and watched timecodes and cues in the animation to know when to stop. She views Jolyne as "a very strong, well-written, nuanced and interesting character".
Jolyne Cujoh and her boyfriend, Romeo Jisso, run over a bystander and she gets falsely accused of the incident after Romeo convinces her to hide the incident and uses her as bait. On her way to Green Dolphin Street Prison, she receives a pendant from her father, Jotaro, and pricks herself with it, gaining a Stand she later names Stone Free. She is visited by her father, who later reveals the incident is a ploy to frame her from one of Dio's followers, who is trying to enact a plan written by Dio in his diary, and attempts to help her to escape. However, a Stand known as Whitesnake steals Jotaro's memories and Stand as DISCs, making him comatose. Realizing the extent of how much her father loved her and his desire to keep her safe, she vows to stay in order to save his life and find the person who is Whitesnake's user. She is then joined by fellow Stand users Emporio Alniño, Ermes Costello, Foo Fighters, Weather Report, and Narciso Anasui.
Tagging along with Weather Report, she goes on a mission to retrieve Star Platinum's DISC and gives it to the Speedwagon Foundation's messenger pigeon for his recovery, succeeding after tricking Whitesnake, whose user is revealed to be Enrico Pucci. Jolyne gets herself sent to the Ultra Security House Unit to find Dio's bone, where she is forced to fight against a couple of Stand users. She and Narciso find the Green Baby, a homunculus formed from Dio's bone, and chase it to make sure it would not meet Pucci. Finally encountering Pucci, she fights him but is forced to make a choice whether to continue fighting him or retrieve Jotaro's memory DISC. She chooses the latter, enabling Pucci to fuse with the Green Baby and gain the Joestar birthmark. After Pucci's escape, Jolyne and Emporio fight against head jailer Miu Miu and, along with Ermes, Anasui and Weather Report, escape the prison. With Foo Fighters and Weather Report dead during the journey and Jotaro Kujo joining the team, they unsuccessfully fight Pucci in Cape Canaveral, who finally evolves his Stand to Made in Heaven. He uses his new power accelerate time around the world in order to create a new universe in his and Dio's image. With Pucci killing everyone except Jolyne and Emporio, she knows that Pucci can sense her thanks to him now having the Joestar birthmark, so she sacrifices herself for Emporio's life.
Pucci halts time's acceleration before completing the cycle in order to kill Emporio but is ultimately killed by the boy, who was given Weather Report's Stand DISC prior to this by Jolyne herself, despite Pucci activating Made in Heaven once more. As a result, a new universe is created. Emporio meets the reincarnations of his friends, including Jolyne, now named Irene (アイリン, Airin), who is considering getting engaged to Anasui's reincarnation, Anakiss, and goes to her father, the reincarnation of Jotaro, to ask his approval.
