be the guy that saved his young self

How do you misunderstand a story THAT hard?

Literally this meme

It would have been pretty cool
Josuke goes back in time, saves his younger self, then 32 year old Josuke shows up right after teenage Josuke left and beats Kira's face in
I don't really care either way though, Part 4 is the best section of the manga regardless

I mean, the main villain actually got time travel powers by the end anyway, so it wouldn't have been super outlandish.

In any event, I figured it was going to be more important than it was in some capacity, but nope. Just some random dude Josuke based himself on.

Seeing what Bites the Dust does, it's a perfectly normal expectation.

The reality is actually that scene was how it was being depicted in Koichi's imagination and he just imagined the guy looked exactly like Josuke.

I don't think he should've gone back in time, but having the stranger look that much like him was unnecessary.

The point of that flashback is that a random hoodlum sacrificed his jacket in a blizzard for the sake of Josuke and his mother, two people the guy didn't know. That he'd do that for this random family is what showed the man had a good heart under his rough exterior.

This event is Josuke's defining childhood memory. If Josuke were to be sent back in time saw his past self stuck, it would no longer be a selfless deed, but one of self-preservation. Not to mention then that he'd be able to just "fix" the snow drift or his jacket afterwards with Crazy Diamond, making the whole event even less sacrificial.

It would literally destroy all the meaning of the original scene just so that you could say "WOW!! COOL TIME TRAVEL!" like in the meme.

Yeah, it's a pretty silly theory and I'm fine with it just being a kind stranger, but most of early part 4 has nothing to do with the story of the second half so it would've been nice to actually connect them somehow.

The English VA and yeah, I was really bummed to hear it. He sounded completely natural in the role of Josuke.
