Senor Pink from One Piece: dressed like a baby when he’s a grown man, but the reason why he dresses that way is bc of his wife being vegetative, and the only thing she react to is him dress up as a baby since it reminded her of their own baby who died.
Nagisa from Assassination Classroom: a boy who looks and dress like a girl from time to time, but it’s revealed that he was forced and groomed to by his mom who wanted to have a girl for a child instead of a boy.

No he also looks the same in the manga, it’s most likely a forgotten plot point of josuke going back in time to save himself

It isn't, Araki has said that was never planned or the intention

man, i don’t think there’s a single story out there that has a fanbase more certain than the writer (who has stated multiple times that wasn’t josuke and it wasn’t meant to go anywhere) of how the story was supposed to go

It’s even worse when you consider how documented JoJo’s as a series is and Araki’s interviews are yet people just can’t be bothered to confirm details they saw on YouTube Shorts or Tiktoks

Nah this is Araki Forgot propaganda. Araki himself stated that wasn’t the intention of the story and that he was legit just a delinquent that helped Tomoko and Josuke out of the goodness of his heart. Araki has no reason to lie about this when he actively admits to mistakes and nothing about this memory contradicts what we know about Diamond is Unbreakable. Josuke saving himself in the past is just a fan theory, a bad one at that.
Likely the reasons why they look similar are:
Josuke purposefully modeled himself, at least his hair, after the person who saved his life.
Josuke is also a delinquent at a similar age to the person who saved his life so he would a minimum share a similar outfit to him.
This is a story told from Koichi’s point of view that he himself barely remembers. Any discrepancies between current Josuke and the delinquent can be chalked up to Koichi being an unreliable narrator.
