I was watching _JoJo's Bizarre Adventure_ and on the episode where Jonathan
dies, Erina takes a random child.

When Part 2 started, how did Joseph "inherit Hamon from Jonathan" if he isn't
directly related to him?

How did Joseph inherit Hamon from Jonathan?


He inherited the Hamon ability from

> His mother, Lisa Lisa. She is an expert in Hamon. Well, since they have
> another Hamon's user other than Joseph in his family, the percentage
> Jonathan inherited the Hamon's is quite huge. Also his father, Goerge
> Joestar II was the son of Erina Joestar. However, George Joestar II did not
> inherit Jonathan's Hamon ability. Instead, his son, Joseph Joestar, had the
> ability of Hamon.

But from [Wikia](http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Joseph_Joestar/History), it stated
that he got Hamon's ability from

> Jonathan Joestar. The young Joseph developed early an ability to use the
> Ripple inherited from his grandfather, first displaying it when Speedwagon
> was being kidnapped.

Here is a video on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwT1iZV7FD4) when
he used Hamon for the first time

A user from the JoJo's Wikia page explains that too.

> His father is Jonathan and Erina's son, George II. Lisa Lisa is the one who
> isn't related. Though I expect having some of Lisa's blood helped with
> learning it faster.

Joseph _is_ Jonathan's descendant. Erina was already pregnant when they
boarded that ship, the random child she saved later married her son and gave
birth to Joseph.

"George Joestar II was born just months after his father died at the hands of
Dio Brando. His mother, Erina, was pregnant at the time of Dio’s assault and
raised George primarily by herself. He grew up to marry the child who was
saved by Erina at the time. Together, they had a son named Joseph Joestar."

George Joestar II was hinted to have hamom by speedwagon himself. He said that
George was an ordinary man however he had the makings of a Hamon master which
means that if he had been taught then he would've been able to control his
hamon at will. Most likely George had the same experience of hamon as his son
did before he had gone through hamon training. So basically sub consciously
using hamon without realizing it. So he basically inherited from both of his
parents.

But he is. He is his grandson. Jonathan and Erina had George, later he and
Lisa Lisa would have Joseph. He is 25% Jonathan. You could find family trees
out there that also show more of the joestar family because once dio took
Jonathans body it got a bit more complicated. For the hamon explanation i
think George had a bit of hamon once said but im not sure but Lisa Lisa was
trained by straitzo which means even if he isnt a joestar his mother is a
hamon user.
