This was a scenario I've been asked to do for a while now.
I think it's been almost 3 years, which CRAZY to think that I've been making JoJo content
for that long.
What if Caesar Zeppeli was in part 3 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders.
Let's look at this "what if" in full.
Oh yeah, before the video starts, I did a small two-page fan-comic about La Squadra
on my twitter.
I plan to visualize this video in the same way I did the comic, but that'll take time
to do so, so we could see that in the future.
Now for this to exist, let’s think about how it came to be.
For this to happen, Caesar didn't die in Part 2, obviously.
Either that or you have some sort of Eyes of Heaven thing happen, but we want Caesar
to link up with Joseph in terms of age.
So, we'll keep the original approach.
Let's say this one resolved his problems with Joseph, and they beat Wamuu together, or he
didn't fumble the bag by not giving Wamuu some shadow.
Etcetera, etcetera, Battle Tendency is over.
Now there's what happens after.
We're at Part 2.
5 basically.
Let's say that both Joseph and Caesar had gone about their lives in somewhat of a similar
fashion.
Caesar, in this case, I believe we could see him with a family, but I also see him doing
what Joseph did to a worse extent.
Caesar looks like the type to either be one of the best family men possible or he would
do what Dio did and have a kid in areas of the world where he's traveled to.
While on the one hand, the Zeppeli’s are living longer, and on the other, he's creating
a bunch of more fatherless children.
That won’t do much for our focus here for now, but I will get into that later.
Now, we're in Part 3.
As for Caesar's position in SC, I see him as the aged understanding yet potentially
aggressive mentor.
The problem with that is that you already have Joseph and Kakyoin.
Kakyoin is a guide, his tarot card the Hierophant lines up with that.
Joseph is the aged veteran that can contribute from his mishaps of the past.
As for what Caesar could help with, the idea is to make him smarter than Joseph entirely
and have him get more aggressive than Kakyoin when he's making a point.
For example, there are areas where there would be some push and shove.
Caesar could be one to either mediate or be the one to actually fight if he sees the altercation
being that important to him.
Like, let's use the Polnareff and Avdol altercation.
Let's say Caesar is around.
Caesar was a victim of the longing of vengeance, he would be a great voice towards Polnareff.
The problem is that Polnareff is also extremely hard-headed at times.
So, rather than try to get to Polnareff with his words, he might actually fight Polnareff
if he can't get his point across.
The fighting wouldn't be what stopped the both of them, but what Caesar could say while
trying to fight is what could get across to him.
That's just an example.
Also, unrelated to what I said, Caesar is going to be dying here.
It's been a long time coming, but we're going to have him die again.
It's the fate of the Zeppeli.
Now, let's look at how we start Stardust Crusaders.
The introduction is relatively similar.
Joseph is being loud and obnoxious in the airport, except it's Caesar is right behind
him, apologizing to people for him.
Jump to the meeting of Jotaro.
Now, while everyone is bringing out their stands, we're introduced to a new...
I guess we could call it a problem.
Does Caesar get a "Stand" here?
Let's break off from the story we're doing for this.
Now, it would make sense that Caesar just doesn't get a "Stand" here.
If we're considering that, all he has is his Hamon, and his Hamon training would fall off
after no problems happening after a significant amount of time.
Caesar seems like the character that would keep up his training longer than Joseph to
uphold the legacy of Hamon entirely, but not sure exactly.
What also could happen is that he could carry on what original Hamon warriors were doing,
and he could make his own clan of Hamon users.
If that was to happen, he'd looking amazing for one, and two, he'd be one of the most
powerful Hamon users ever.
So, what would we do here?
You all can leave a comment with your thoughts, but I think he'd go with the family man that
keeps up with
his training.
Alright, back to the story.
We're meeting Jotaro, and everything goes the same.
The only difference is Caesar is there, and he's massively confused.
Or, he's nodding because invisible demons are fighting in front of him since Joseph
had explained the concept of stands to him earlier.
Now, we're going through all that we had gone through before.
Running through all of these stand users, encountering Anne, everything is normal.
Or well, I guess Caesar could stop the journey and just go try to take Anne back to where
she's from.
After a while of seeing nothing, I think he'd notice his position on this journey and notice
he'd live a better life not getting involved with this.
Then again, he's Caesar so he would ride or die for Joseph.
Anyways, we're back at it with the Hol Horse and J.
Geil fight.
This fight is a huge turning point in the journey, and I think with Caesar being here,
there's a significant difference.
For one, what we mentioned earlier is going to happen.
Except after getting into it, and Polnareff leaving, both Avdol and Caesar would be trailing
behind him.
Now, when Polnareff gets saved, it's a 3v2.
While J. Geil and Hol Horse are going to try to focus
on Avdol solely, that means that Hol Horse is leaving himself open.
Caesar, by this time, has probably adapted his ranged abilities to be both strong and
useful in any situation.
So, he's sending some sort of Hamon bubble attack or something at Hol Horse, and Hol
Horse is stuck with this odd situation.
Am I taking out Avdol or Caesar?
The answer is neither, because Polnareff is also still around, and these two just cannot
win with the three of them against them.
Hol Horse is taken care of, and maybe someone had got stabbed by J.
Geil.
Now, it's about getting away and finding J. Geil.
Which they probably do, it's not that crazy.
Now, here's my thing, and this thought probably concludes the video.
Adding Caesar is just making the journey of Part 3 easier.
Stand or not, this man is strong.
Plus, the best thing to come out of this scenario would be the character interactions more than
anything.
As for what you do get, you basically just pain everyone that's apart of this.
The characters and the people watching.
Imagine getting the cast invested with Caesar.
He wouldn't be the insufferable teen that he was before.
He's enjoyable, he's grown, he's a help to the group.
Grown Caesar is like that one sensible friend in the friend group.
While everyone is just on a ridiculous amount of bs, he's there to be the mom of the group
and try to keep things together.
And that's terrible because that's another person to get invested with just to see him
die.
It would be great for everyone's tears, but just sad entirely.
Plus, if you thought Joseph was hurt in Part 2, imagine growing up with Caesar.
Then Caesar dies because he came on this adventure with him when he didn't have to.
Then add Avdol and Iggy are dying, maybe Kakyoin lives because Caesar takes the spot.
Someone's going to live probably, it's just not going to be Caesar.
It's also probably not Iggy.
I have an idea of a couple of character interactions with Grown Caesar and members of the Stardust
Crusaders.
I might get them adapted into manga form, so that'll be cool for those interested.
You should follow my Twitter or Instagram cause that's
where I'll post it first.
So, what would happen if Caesar was in Part 3?
He'd die.
You can't just keep outrunning fate like that.
Who do you think you are? Joseph?
Cause you're not.
Thank you all for watching.
I'll leave a link to my socials and the La Squadra comic in the description.
Hopefully, I'll see you all in the next one.
Until then, peace out and godspeed.
