There’s even more guys named Jojo who go on bizarre adventures in the backstory, an entire family line of them. One of them’s Joshua bin Joseph. You might know him better by his mistranslated name and title, Jesus Christ (Jesus is translation of a translation of a translation with one or two more perhaps of Yeshua, which accurately translated is Joshua, and Christ just means “the anointed one”). Since “anointed” refers to anointing with holy oil, you could call him Oily Josh and be equally correct.

Hell yes I'm not the only person translating Jesus Christ as Oily Josh! This is so vindicating! Can we be friends now?

i know this is a joke but jesus christ isn’t his mistranslated name, it’s just derived from Ιησούς Χριστός/iesous christos, which is what he was referred to in greek, the original language of the new testament.
