'''Early Life'''
== Statistics==
<br>
'''Key:''' '''Stardust Crusaders''' | '''Diamond is Unbreakable - Stone Ocean'''
Joseph was born the son of George Joestar II and Elizabeth, establishing him as the grandson of Jonathan Joestar. When his mother was forced to go into hiding after killing his father's murderer, one of Dio Brando's surviving Zombies, his grandmother Erina Joestar decided it would be best if he assumed his parents died, out of fear he might get caught up in the same fatal situation his father and grandfather suffered. It was then both Erina and Robert E. O. Speedwagon who took care of Joseph. The young Joseph developed early an ability to use the Ripple inherited from his grandfather, first displaying it when Speedwagon was being kidnapped.


'''[[Tiering System|Tier]]:''' '''10-A''', At least '''9-B''' with Star Platinum, '''Higher''' with [[Rage Power|'''Rage Power''']] | '''10-A''', At least '''9-B''' with Star Platinum: The World
'''Battle Tendency (1938-39)'''
<br>
Visiting New York with Erina, Joseph encounters Smokey Brown, an African-American youth who steals his wallet. Nonetheless, Joseph befriends the pickpocket after giving a beating to two corrupt policemen who brutalized Smokey. Both he and Erina acquaint themselves with Smokey. While dining in a restaurant, Joseph personally publicly humiliates a racist mafioso who kept insulting Smokey; that mafioso's companion then suddenly informs him that Speedwagon is reported dead in Mexico. Later that night, Joseph is attacked in New York City by Straizo, an old companion of his grandfather Jonathan turned-Vampire. After being led on a wild chase, Joseph manages to defeat Straizo, who destroys himself with his stored Ripple while warning the youth of the Pillar Men.


'''Name:''' [https://imgur.com/a/PDbLLtG Jotaro Kujo], JoJo ([https://imgur.com/a/FTpjEdN Nickname])
Joseph goes to Mexico in search of Speedwagon, revealed to be alive in a secret underground Nazi facility where the Nazis are trying to revive a man who seems to have been trapped in a stone pillar for 2,000 years. Here Joseph meets the Nazi Rudol von Stroheim. Unfortunately, the Nazis are successful in awakening the man, who is christened "Santana" before he kills most of them. Joseph battles Santana and manage to defeat him with Stroheim's help before he seemingly died. Before Stroheim dies, the Nazi reveals that three more "sleeping pillar men" have been discovered underneath the Colosseum in Rome and that Joseph must stop them and meet with an ally.


'''Origin:''' [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]
In Rome, Joseph meets Caesar, a trained Ripple user near his age who is supposed to show Joseph the ropes. At first, they are unable to do anything but argue; Caesar blames Jonathan Joestar for causing the death of his grandfather Will Anthonio Zeppeli through his incompetence. Caesar brings a Nazi named Mark to drive them to the Colosseum, where they find the three pillar men, Wamuu, Esidisi, and Kars, awakened. Mark is casually killed by Wamuu, enraging Caesar and causing the pair to fight him. Unfortunately, even with his American Ripple-Infused Clackers, the untrained Joseph is unable to stand a chance. Luckily, he manages to talk them out of killing him promising to train for a whole month for a rematch.


'''Sex:''' Male
To ensure that Joseph does not chicken out, Wamuu and Esidisi both end up inserting a "wedding ring" inside Joseph's heart and throat. They explain that the rings are internal time bombs set to release poison into his blood if he does not defeat them and retrieve the antidote they carry within a month. Joseph realizes that he will have to train or die, and Caesar introduces Joseph to his master Lisa Lisa, who also reveals that the motives of the pillar men are to seize the Red Stone of Aja to become perfect life forms.


'''Age:''' 17 at the start of Stardust Crusaders ([https://imgur.com/a/PDbLLtG Noted to be officially 17 years old]), 18 by the end of Stardust Crusaders ([https://imgur.com/a/lRPhoL4 Noted to be 18 when he first stopped time]), 28 in Diamond is Unbreakable ([https://imgur.com/a/9HK92Uy Noted to be officially 28 years old]), 30 in Vento Aureo ([https://imgur.com/a/vsrnHG5 Vento Aureo takes place in 2001] which is two years after Diamond is Unbreakable, [https://imgur.com/a/orEk5aM which took place in 1999]), 40 at the start of Stone Ocean ([https://imgur.com/a/BlvaIx9 The start of Stone Ocean takes place in 2011]), 41 by the end of Stone Ocean ([https://i.imgur.com/x7LTCwE.png The end of Stone Ocean takes place in 2012])
'''Ripple Training'''
<br>
Along with Caesar, Joseph begins his training under Lisa Lisa. She immediately forces Joseph to use a modified mask to alter his breathing, enough for him to be able to keep it in control when using the ripple. She then puts both students in the 'Hell Climb Pillar', a pillar covered with oil that requires expert control of the Ripple to climb. Without experience in the use of the Ripple, Joseph has trouble climbing, but finally manages to do so thanks to Caesar's help. In the next weeks, Joseph trains under the harsh Loggins, who teaches him how to breathe in for 10 minutes straight and how to breathe 10 times in one second. As his last test, with only a week left before the poison takes effect, Joseph needs to defeat Loggins in a battle to earn the right to be recognized as a proper Ripple user.


'''Classification:''' Human, Stand User, Highschool Student (Formerly), Oceanographer
Joseph finds Loggins murdered by Esidisi, who learned of the Super Aja in Lisa Lisa's possession. Denied his chance to pay back his teacher for the hell he went through, Joseph finds himself nearly outwitted by Esidisi before managing to defeat him with both his new skills and a sleight of hand strategy involving his wool hat. Joseph ingests the antidote in his opponent's nose ring, but doesn't realize that his attack only reduced Esidisi to a disembodied nervous system. Esidisi then takes over Suzi Q's body to mail the Red Stone to Kars in Switzerland while taking a last stand to deal with Joseph and the Ripple Users. Joseph and Caesar manage to safely force Esidisi out of Suzi Q by using opposing ripples and then watch as the Pillar Man is dissolved by the sunlight. Joseph mentions being impressed by Esidisi's resolve and loyalty, having gone so far to help Kars succeed. Lisa Lisa discovers that Esidisi sent the Aja to Switzerland, and the Joestar Group leaves Venice for the Alps.


'''[[Dimensionality]]:''' '''3-D'''
'''In Switzerland'''
<br>
While pursuing the Super Aja, Joseph and his companions see a platoon of German soldiers confiscating the Red Stone of Aja and are invited to a chalet, where Joseph is reunited with the supposedly-deceased Stroheim, who has been rebuilt as a powerful cyborg by Nazi science. But at the same time, Kars has infiltrated the Nazi chalet in search for the Aja. Stroheim's machine body is quickly cut in half by Kars, who instinctively knows Joseph killed Esidisi and expresses hidden hatred towards who he initially considered a source of amusement. During the struggle, the Red Stone of Aja slips and falls into a ravine where Joseph and Kars battle to seize it. After a difficult fight, Joseph manages to keep the Stone while Kars disappears at the bottom of the ravine.


'''[[Status]]:''' '''Other''' (Despite being killed by Pucci in the original timeline, his soul was restored with the birth of the new universe after Pucci's death and now inhabits a new body that is nearly identical to him, possibly even with the same name and backstory)
The next day, the group discovers a likely hideout for the Pillar Men and Caesar is eager to go fight them. Joseph voiced being against going after Kars in daylight, sensing a trap. This result in Joseph saying words that drive Caesar off the edge as he leaves to do the job himself, Joseph learning his friend's story and changing his mind. However, by the time he and Lisa Lisa arrive, they see Caesar had already died fighting Wamuu and used the last of his strength to get the Pillar Man's lip ring. Out of respect for Caesar, Joseph decides to not take the antidote until he defeats Wamuu. Joseph and Lisa Lisa decide to pursue the likely wounded Wamuu inside the mansion.


'''[[Alignment]]:''' '''Chaotic Good''' in Part 3 (Despite being a delinquent who has a overall rude personality, Jotaro is a good person who will do what's right [https://imgur.com/a/PDbLLtG with his rude persona not really being who he is as a person].

Joseph and Lisa Lisa find Kars and Wamuu but also find themselves outnumbered by Kars´s Vampires. Lisa Lisa bluffs destroying the Super Aja unless the Pillar Men accept her terms to settle things in two one-on-one showdowns at the Skeleton Heel Stone arena. Sent to retrieve the stone, Joseph notices the photo of an infant with Erina, Speedwagon, and Straizo and confronts Lisa Lisa about it. She tells only half of the photo's significance before Joseph engages Wamuu in a deadly Roman chariot race-battle. Wamuu initially gets the upper hand, but Joseph still manages to counter his dangerous attacks and destroys Wamuu´s body with only his dissolving head. Joseph, in a sign of honor to the warrior, gave Wamuu some of his own blood to ease his pain before drinking the antidote to give his opponent peace of mind.

Kars proves to be less honorable than Wamuu and breaks his promise to fight Lisa Lisa one-on-one and sacrifices one of his weaker Vampires in order to defeat her. Angered by Kars' treachery, Joseph then challenges Kars, who looks upon him as a weak Ripple user and not even worth fighting seriously. All seems to be over in this fight against Kars until a newly rebuilt Stroheim and his Nazi soldiers, Speedwagon, and Smokey arrive to help. As the two fought on, Joseph is eventually given the decision to choose between his life or Lisa Lisa's, but is able to counter the whole situation and send Kars flying into the spike pit below. Stroheim and his Nazi soldiers blast Kars with ultraviolet light, but unknowingly gave him the light necessary for his Super Aja-embedded stone mask to trigger and transform him into the ultimate life form.

Taking the Super Aja while running off, Joseph steals one of the Germans' airplanes to lead Kars away while devising a strategy to defeat him. Joseph then assumed he could kill Kars using the planet: namely crashing the plane with Kars on it into a volcano. Though it appears Kars is dead while sinking into the magma, the Pillar Man evolved a continuous and inorganic porous material to protect himself while digging his way out and slicing Joseph's arm off. When all seemed lost, Joseph unconsciously defends himself from Kars' enhanced Ripple by having the Super Aja redirect the attack into the ground. This causes an eruption that blasts the land the two fighters are on into the air, with Joseph distracting Kars long enough to be knocked out of Earth's orbit by debris. But gravity runs its course and Stroheim assumes Joseph dead at sea near Italy.

'''Egypt'''
<br>
In Egypt, Joseph and the Joestar Group meets with men from the Speedwagon Foundation who provide supplies, give them the Stand user dog Iggy, and inform them of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods, nine other henchmen DIO kept up his sleeves. The first of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods, N'Doul, manages to injure Kakyoin and Avdol. However the combined efforts of Jotaro and Iggy manages to prevail.

Kakyoin and Avdol are given to the care of local doctors, and although Jotaro is acting strange, nothing unusual happens.

'''Battle in Dio's Mansion'''
<br>
The Joestar Group is welcomed by Telence T. D'Arby, the butler of the mansion, who forcibly drags Jotaro, Joseph and Kakyoin into a void. The trio finds themselves on an island in the middle of the sea where Telence challenges them to video games. Kakyoin loses the game and his soul, but Jotaro and Joseph cheat together in order to win the second round. When Jotaro pummels Telence, Telence is propelled through the fake sky of the underground room.


Not out of the cellar yet, Joseph, Kakyoin and Jotaro notice that another battle is taking place as they try to escape.


Joseph, Jotaro and Kakyoin meet Nukesaku, a Vampire, and bully him into indicating where DIO is. They decide to flank DIO from the outside of the building, breaking through a wall to enter a second time, and interrupt Polnareff and DIO's clash. Joseph alongside everyone follows Nukesaku to the room where DIO sleeps, but Nukesaku somehow is teleported inside a the coffin in the middle of the room, and Joseph, sniffing an ambush, flees through a window with the rest of the party. As the sun sets, Joseph decides that they flee because fighting the Vampire without the slightest hint of his power is suicidal. He and Kakyoin flee first whereas Polnareff and Jotaro wait in ambush in order to follow DIO.


'''The Final Battle'''
<br>
DIO pursues Joseph and Kakyoin, who have bought a truck and are trying to drive away from him. At the same time, Kakyoin tries to attack DIO, without results, but notices that DIO's Stand The World is similar to Jotaro's. DIO sends a bystander crash into the truck, forcing Joseph to stop driving and instead hop across the roofs of Cairo.


However Kakyoin devises a plan to force DIO to use his power openly. DIO stops time, taking everyone by surprises and punches through Kakyoin. However Kakyoin manages to tip off Joseph about the true nature of The World. Joseph manages to decipher the cryptic message Kakyoin leaves in regards to DIO's power and even figures out some of The World's weaknesses, but DIO is too strong anyway.


Joseph is stabbed through the throat and taken out as he meets with Jotaro and warns him against The World. Later DIO sucks the entirety of Joseph's blood to power himself up, and Joseph seemingly dies, his specter talking one last time to Jotaro, who manages to kill DIO.

'''The Long Journey Ends'''

[[File:PetShop.png|thumb|400px]]
Jotaro and Polnareff's injuries were dealt with by the Speedwagon Foundation. Since DIO had taken much of Joseph's blood, Jotaro asked for a blood transfusion from DIO's body to Joseph's. After using Star Platinum to restart Joseph's heartbeat, the transfusion began. The shriveled-up body that Joseph had after losing so much blood began returning to his normal muscular figure and Joseph fully revived. Joseph uses the opportunity and plays a joke on Jotaro, claiming to be DIO possessing Joseph's body which nearly causes Jotaro to attack him. Luckily Joseph is spared a beating by claiming it was a joke.
==Background==
'''Pet Shop''' is a minor antagonist in ''Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders''. He is a falcon who happens to be a Stand User. His job is to protect and guard [[Dio Brando]]'s mansion from possible intruders.
==Statistics==
'''[[Tiering System|Tier]]:''' '''10-C''', '''9-C''' with its beak and talons. '''9-B''' with Horus


'''Name:''' Pet Shop
Later, Jotaro and Joseph took the remainder DIO's body outside, where it evaporated with the rising sun. They then gave one final moment of thought for Kakyoin, Iggy, and Avdol.


'''Origin:''' [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]
At the airport, Joseph and Jotaro gave a final goodbye to Polnareff, who was finally ready to return to his home country of France. Joseph asks Polnareff to come with him to America, knowing that the latter had no one waiting for him back home. Polnareff refused the offer, stating that despite being alone, France was his homeland. The trio gave their final goodbyes and left, promising to see one another again someday. In Japan, Holy awoke fully healed and freed from the curse. Even miles away, she knew her son and father were coming home.


'''Sex:''' Male
'''Post Stardust Crusaders'''
<br>
During the next 10 years Joseph became a shadow of his former self. He had gallstone surgery, suffered cataracts, wore dentures, needed a cane to walk, and had gone a little senile.


'''Age:''' Unknown
During this time he gained a great-granddaughter named Jolyne Cujoh, but it is unknown if they have interacted with each other.


'''Classification:''' Falcon, Stand User
Joseph also learns of the illegitimate son from his fling with Tomoko Higashikata, who kept the child's existence a secret until he was 16 years of age. As Suzi Q got upset that he was unfaithful to her, Joseph added Josuke to his will. When Joseph attempted to use his Stand to get a picture of Josuke, he discovers an ominous figure in the photos instead, prompting Jotaro to go to Morioh to investigate.


'''[[Dimensionality]]:''' '''3-D'''
'''Diamond is Unbreakable (1999)'''
<br>
Joseph ultimately travels to Morioh to help localize Akira Otoishi. He is revealed to have aged terribly, no longer being able to walk without a cane, wears spectacles, is hard of hearing, and isn't nearly as athletic as he used to be. On the boat, he is targeted by Akira after the latter had learnt of his ability to discover his location. After Akira is defeated, Joseph arrives safely on the dock, where he is escorted by Josuke.


'''[[Alignment]]:''' '''Lawful Evil''' (Its sole purpose is to protect Dio's mansion)
On the way to Josuke's house, Joseph and Josuke discover an "invisible baby" which turns out to be a Stand User. As the two are unable to see it, they decide to travel to a baby store and purchase clothing and supplies (unbeknownst to Josuke, Joseph spends most of his money). There's a brief bonding period between the two before the baby begins to cry and go out of control from a lack of mother. When the baby's carriage becomes invisible as well and rolls down a hill into a pond, Josuke panics about not being able to locate the baby in the water and blames Joseph for the situation. Joseph, however, cuts himself to stain the water with his blood, thus allowing Josuke to find the baby. He says he did it because he wanted to make Josuke proud.


'''[[Status]]:''' '''Deceased''' (Killed by Iggy)
Throughout the rest of the part, Joseph is seen taking care of the baby and travelling with Josuke to places around town. At one point, he comes across a sulking Yukako and gives her advice on how to get Koichi to be interested in her, particularly by visiting Aya's Salon. Later that day, Joseph and Josuke decide to head to Kameyu department store, where they eventually meet up with Yukako, Rohan and Koichi and his family. At the store, a flash from Rohan's camera causes the baby to cry, forcing Joseph to run out of the building, but not before bumping Koichi into Yukako's arms.


'''[[Attack Potency]]:''' '''Below Average Human level''', '''Peak Human level''' with beak (Should be comparable to a Peregrine Falcon, whose beaks' kinetic energy can reach 3.6 kilojoules). '''Wall level''' with Horus ([https://imgur.com/a/FOQhDjX Can harm] The Fool a stand that Sliver Chariot [https://imgur.com/a/plict couldn't harm].

By the end, Joseph adopts the baby and names her Shizuka - this, however, leads to further conflict with his wife Suzi Q, who believes the baby to be another "secret child". When he and Jotaro leave Morioh, Joseph assures the latter that the people of the town have "hearts of gold", and that Josuke and his friends will be able to handle any future threat. Josuke himself sees Joseph off, though he ends up stealing his wallet using Crazy Diamond's power.


'''[[Durability]]:''' '''Below Average Human level''', It's beak is '''Peak Human level'''
'''Stone Ocean (2012)'''
<br>
In an interview with Eiichiro Funakoshi, Araki describes Joseph to be "likely still alive, albeit a little dumber." Though he does not appear in Part 6, this would put him at the age of 91 during its events.

===[[Standard Equipment]]===
Crazy Diamond
----
===Notable Techniques===
'''Crazy Diamond:''' Josuke's Stand, a close-range punching beast covered in many hearts. Possessing incredible strength and speed (even on par with Star Platinum), it is a formidable opponent both in close quarters and from a distance whilst using small objects, thanks to its extreme precision.
*'''Restoration:''' Crazy Diamond can, with a touch, "restore" any object, returning it to a previous state. While this has obvious applications in healing, Josuke is creative with its usage and can utilize it in a number of ways. He can break objects and materials down into their raw components, doing so to reduce asphalt to coal tar, and can fuse beings with other objects by destroying these objects around them before restoring them. With this ability, Josuke can even circumvent his issues with range, firing projectiles that home in on targets covered with a piece of the original substance. However, Crazy Diamond cannot restore Josuke's own wounds, heal diseases, retrieve things erased from space, or bring the dead back to life.
----

'''Standard Tactics:''' Josuke will summon Crazy Diamond to attack with barrage of punches


'''Weaknesses:''' [https://imgur.com/a/qT2VJhL If A Stand is damaged the user will by proxy take damage and if they're damaged, their Stand will take damage].

'''Okuyasu Nijimura''' is an antagonist and later deuteragonist of ''Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable''. Introduced as an antagonist, Okuyasu soon becomes [[Josuke Higashikata]]'s best friend. They stay close friends throughout Part 4 and tackle malevolent Stand users together. He is the brother of [[Keicho Nijimura]] and wields the stand The Hand.
*'''Drag Disguise:''' To sneak inside a Nazi outpost in Mexico, Joseph wore a drag costume to trick the guards into thinking he was a party girl. However due to the costume's poor quality Joseph was unable to trick the guards and instead used Hamon to incapacitate them.

*'''American Clackers:''' In order to come up with a special attack, Joseph invented a fighting style that involved infusing the Ripple into a pair of normal American Clackers. Once infused, the Clackers become a lethal weapon, as the user is able to rip through an opponent's skin using them, and from there the Ripple can enter the body, thus inflicting massive damage. Because of their shape and aerodynamic design, someone who is trained in the Clackers' use is able to easily maneuver them around their body, even having the ability to make them seemingly disappear by hiding them behind their back.

* '''[[Hamon]]:''' Joseph inherited the Hamon and its capabilities from his grandfather, [[Jonathan Joestar]], as well as his mother, [[Lisa Lisa]]. In addition, he uses techniques commonly present in stage magic to confuse his foes. After his Hamon training, Joseph frequently combines his Hamon with other objects to perform complex and creative attacks. Later in Stardust Crusaders, he shows that he is able to pass the Hamon through his Stand, Hermit Purple. However, as he grew older, due to neglecting his Hamon training, he became unable to do the same things he was capable of when he was younger and ended up aging at a relatively normal pace. Aside from his intelligence and slight of hand, Joseph also possessed arguably superhuman physicality. His build and physique undoubtedly contributed to this, but it is more likely that the bulk of his physicality came from his natural affinity for the Hamon, and later his extensive training in its use. He demonstrated humanly impossible strength and speed on a number of occasions. During his fight with [[Straizo]], he was able to dodge a point blank blast from the the Vampire's Space Ripper Stingy Eye attack, and on several occasions was able to hold his own in hand to hand combat with the Pillar Men. During his battle with [[Wamuu|the]] [[Esidisi|Pillar]] [[Kars|Men]], Joseph had demonstrated several techniques similar to his grandfather's.

*'''Hamon Hair Attack:''' When [[Santana]] was able to shoot him, [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon|Speedwagon]], and [[Rudol von Stroheim|Stroheim]], Joseph used Stroheim's hair to block the bullets, keeping them in the air using his Hamon.

*'''Joestar Secret Technique:''' The Joestar Secret Technique is a technique were one runs away from their opponent to lead them somewhere that would put them at a disadvantage. Joseph has used this twice in the series, the first time in his battle against [[Straizo]], and the second in his battle against [[Kars|Ultimate Kars]]. Joseph taught this technique to his grandson [[Jotaro Kujo]], who used it against [[Rubber Soul]].

*'''Clacker Volley:''' Joseph chucks the Clackers into his opponent's direction. This can be done a number of ways, but to produce the best and most surprising effect, he can hide them behind his back. From there, Joseph can slingshot them from behind his back at the enemy in all directions.

*'''Clacker Boomerang:''' Joseph throws both pairs of Clackers into a beam or pillar behind the opponent. This is in order to fool them into assuming he missed. One is thrown into the partition, causing one side of it to be lodged in place. The other side grabs onto the second pair of Clackers, and essentially flings them back towards the opponent from behind, much like how a boomerang works.

* '''Hermit Purple:''' Joseph's [[Stands|Stand]], Hermit Purple, manifests itself as a tangle of thorny vines, which Joseph can wield as both a weapon and a hazardous defense. Furthermore, it has been shown to conduct the Ripple, which makes Hermit Purple one of the more effective Stands against those weak to it such as [[Vampire Physiology (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)|Vampires]]. Joseph develops the Stand after [[Dio Brando|DIO]] pierces Jonathan's body with the Arrow, upon which it responded to DIO and Enya awakening The World, at the same time influencing the whole Joestar family, which also granted them stands.

* '''Spirit Photography:''' One of its special abilities (shared with [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan's]] stand) is to use cameras, televisions and other things to perform a form of fortune telling referred to as spirit photography. When introduced, it was demonstrated that he had to smash an expensive Polaroid camera to do this, and the camera would dispense a picture of DIO. Later on he is seen using televisions for this ability without having to damage them.

==Trivia==
*As an Englishman, he is famous for often saying various phrases in English. His catchphrases include "OH! NO!" (Used both in ''Part 2 ''and ''Part 3'') and "Oh! My! God!" (used in ''Part 3'' and ''Part 4'') as a few examples.
*In part 3, Joseph is mistakenly called American by some characters, despite being British. This is due to the fact that Joseph was traveling through countries in Asia, and it is common that most people who do not speak English do not know the accent differences of the different dialects of the English language.
* A running gag in ''Part 3'' has Joseph lose parts of his prosthetic hand, or even the hand itself, when enemies attack him, but later appearing with it intact without any definite explanation.
*Joseph is a name of Hebrew origin (the original version of the name is ''Yosef'') that can mean "He will add", "Taken away" or "Praise, Fame taken away". The name can be transliterated in katakana as ジョセフ (''Josefu'').
* Joseph has survived four plane crashes (two in ''Part 2'' and two in ''Part 3''); this was brought up twice throughout ''Part 3''.
*Joseph is the only person to be able to use both [[Hamon]] and have a [https://thecodex.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:GiverOfThePeace/Stands_Breakdown Stand] of his own.
*According to [[Straizo]], non-organic objects can only conduct Ripple if the user is touching them. Despite this, Joseph managed to maintain non-organic objects imbued with Ripple after they left his hands on two separate occasions: during his initial fight with Wamuu, with his clackers, and during his final fight with Wamuu, with the metal ball ammunition for his crossbow.
*Joseph, out of all the JoJos, had lived the longest life to date. 
**Araki said once that he thinks Joseph is "a little dumber but still alive" when ''Stone Ocean'' takes place, bringing his oldest confirmed age to ~91.<ref>[[w:c:jojo:Hirohiko Araki/Interviews|Weekly Shonen 「」]] (JOJO冒險 荒木飛呂彥100問專訪); Q75, April 5, 2003</ref>

===[[Standard Equipment]]===
Heaven's Door, a pen, and a pencil.
----
=== Notable Techniques===
*'''Book Transmutation:''' Heaven's Door's basic ability is to incapacitate and turn people into books with pages revealing detailed and absolutely true facts on everything the person knows, from memories to their body measurements, secrets, and their abilities. Heaven's Door is also effective on animals, ghosts, and the undead, but dying targets seem to gradually lose their pages.
 
*'''Write-In Command:''' Rohan can write into the pages of people, altering their memories or effectively imposing commands of his desire. The victim will always obey the commands imposed on them, even if they don't accept it or if it's physically impossible. Rohan can also use this ability on himself.
 
*'''Memory Removal:''' Rohan can freely alter the memories of his targets by either writing commands or removing pages from their bodies. If too many pages are removed, the target will die.
----
===Others===
 
'''Weaknesses:''' [https://imgur.com/a/QDZ1Tj0 Any damage taken by Heaven's Door is reflected back onto Rohan and vice versa]. Rohan is incapable of reading his own memories, nor can he perceive memories shared with a target. He cannot heal with Heaven's Door. [https://i.imgur.com/ZKU2l0p.jpeg A stand's energy or power is inversely proportional to their range of operation, the farther away the stand goes, the weaker, slower, and less precise its movements become].
 
'''Note:''' Rohan at the beginning of DiU is restricted to using images of his Stand to induce his book transmutation ability. By the end, Rohan is able to manifest his Stand in mid-air whilst also allowing him to induce the same ability with just a point of his fingers. Later at his one-shots, Rohan is seen using his Stand ability through thought alone.

Did you see it? The thorns from my hand? That is my Stand! It can reveal faraway visions and place them on film. Of course, I gotta bust an expensive camera every time I use it!
~ Joseph Joestar to Jotaro Kujo

Background

Joseph Joestar is the main protagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency and an ally in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable. He is the 2nd JoJo of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. He is also the second most recurring JoJo in the series after his grandson Jotaro Kujo and is one of its most well known characters.

Joseph is a natural-born Hamon user and eventual Stand user, wielding the psychic photographic Stand, Hermit Purple. Joseph meets the fantastic threats approaching him throughout his life with initiative and impressive ingenuity, battling Vampires, the Pillar Men, and malevolent Stand users.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Joseph Joestar’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Note: Credit to JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia

Early Life
Joseph was born the son of George Joestar II and Elizabeth, establishing him as the grandson of Jonathan Joestar. When his mother was forced to go into hiding after killing his father's murderer, one of Dio Brando's surviving Zombies, his grandmother Erina Joestar decided it would be best if he assumed his parents died, out of fear he might get caught up in the same fatal situation his father and grandfather suffered. It was then both Erina and Robert E. O. Speedwagon who took care of Joseph. The young Joseph developed early an ability to use the Ripple inherited from his grandfather, first displaying it when Speedwagon was being kidnapped.

Battle Tendency (1938-39)
Visiting New York with Erina, Joseph encounters Smokey Brown, an African-American youth who steals his wallet. Nonetheless, Joseph befriends the pickpocket after giving a beating to two corrupt policemen who brutalized Smokey. Both he and Erina acquaint themselves with Smokey. While dining in a restaurant, Joseph personally publicly humiliates a racist mafioso who kept insulting Smokey; that mafioso's companion then suddenly informs him that Speedwagon is reported dead in Mexico. Later that night, Joseph is attacked in New York City by Straizo, an old companion of his grandfather Jonathan turned-Vampire. After being led on a wild chase, Joseph manages to defeat Straizo, who destroys himself with his stored Ripple while warning the youth of the Pillar Men.

Joseph goes to Mexico in search of Speedwagon, revealed to be alive in a secret underground Nazi facility where the Nazis are trying to revive a man who seems to have been trapped in a stone pillar for 2,000 years. Here Joseph meets the Nazi Rudol von Stroheim. Unfortunately, the Nazis are successful in awakening the man, who is christened "Santana" before he kills most of them. Joseph battles Santana and manage to defeat him with Stroheim's help before he seemingly died. Before Stroheim dies, the Nazi reveals that three more "sleeping pillar men" have been discovered underneath the Colosseum in Rome and that Joseph must stop them and meet with an ally.

In Rome, Joseph meets Caesar, a trained Ripple user near his age who is supposed to show Joseph the ropes. At first, they are unable to do anything but argue; Caesar blames Jonathan Joestar for causing the death of his grandfather Will Anthonio Zeppeli through his incompetence. Caesar brings a Nazi named Mark to drive them to the Colosseum, where they find the three pillar men, Wamuu, Esidisi, and Kars, awakened. Mark is casually killed by Wamuu, enraging Caesar and causing the pair to fight him. Unfortunately, even with his American Ripple-Infused Clackers, the untrained Joseph is unable to stand a chance. Luckily, he manages to talk them out of killing him promising to train for a whole month for a rematch.

To ensure that Joseph does not chicken out, Wamuu and Esidisi both end up inserting a "wedding ring" inside Joseph's heart and throat. They explain that the rings are internal time bombs set to release poison into his blood if he does not defeat them and retrieve the antidote they carry within a month. Joseph realizes that he will have to train or die, and Caesar introduces Joseph to his master Lisa Lisa, who also reveals that the motives of the pillar men are to seize the Red Stone of Aja to become perfect life forms.

Ripple Training
Along with Caesar, Joseph begins his training under Lisa Lisa. She immediately forces Joseph to use a modified mask to alter his breathing, enough for him to be able to keep it in control when using the ripple. She then puts both students in the 'Hell Climb Pillar', a pillar covered with oil that requires expert control of the Ripple to climb. Without experience in the use of the Ripple, Joseph has trouble climbing, but finally manages to do so thanks to Caesar's help. In the next weeks, Joseph trains under the harsh Loggins, who teaches him how to breathe in for 10 minutes straight and how to breathe 10 times in one second. As his last test, with only a week left before the poison takes effect, Joseph needs to defeat Loggins in a battle to earn the right to be recognized as a proper Ripple user.

Joseph finds Loggins murdered by Esidisi, who learned of the Super Aja in Lisa Lisa's possession. Denied his chance to pay back his teacher for the hell he went through, Joseph finds himself nearly outwitted by Esidisi before managing to defeat him with both his new skills and a sleight of hand strategy involving his wool hat. Joseph ingests the antidote in his opponent's nose ring, but doesn't realize that his attack only reduced Esidisi to a disembodied nervous system. Esidisi then takes over Suzi Q's body to mail the Red Stone to Kars in Switzerland while taking a last stand to deal with Joseph and the Ripple Users. Joseph and Caesar manage to safely force Esidisi out of Suzi Q by using opposing ripples and then watch as the Pillar Man is dissolved by the sunlight. Joseph mentions being impressed by Esidisi's resolve and loyalty, having gone so far to help Kars succeed. Lisa Lisa discovers that Esidisi sent the Aja to Switzerland, and the Joestar Group leaves Venice for the Alps.

In Switzerland
While pursuing the Super Aja, Joseph and his companions see a platoon of German soldiers confiscating the Red Stone of Aja and are invited to a chalet, where Joseph is reunited with the supposedly-deceased Stroheim, who has been rebuilt as a powerful cyborg by Nazi science. But at the same time, Kars has infiltrated the Nazi chalet in search for the Aja. Stroheim's machine body is quickly cut in half by Kars, who instinctively knows Joseph killed Esidisi and expresses hidden hatred towards who he initially considered a source of amusement. During the struggle, the Red Stone of Aja slips and falls into a ravine where Joseph and Kars battle to seize it. After a difficult fight, Joseph manages to keep the Stone while Kars disappears at the bottom of the ravine.

The next day, the group discovers a likely hideout for the Pillar Men and Caesar is eager to go fight them. Joseph voiced being against going after Kars in daylight, sensing a trap. This result in Joseph saying words that drive Caesar off the edge as he leaves to do the job himself, Joseph learning his friend's story and changing his mind. However, by the time he and Lisa Lisa arrive, they see Caesar had already died fighting Wamuu and used the last of his strength to get the Pillar Man's lip ring. Out of respect for Caesar, Joseph decides to not take the antidote until he defeats Wamuu. Joseph and Lisa Lisa decide to pursue the likely wounded Wamuu inside the mansion.

Joseph and Lisa Lisa find Kars and Wamuu but also find themselves outnumbered by Kars´s Vampires. Lisa Lisa bluffs destroying the Super Aja unless the Pillar Men accept her terms to settle things in two one-on-one showdowns at the Skeleton Heel Stone arena. Sent to retrieve the stone, Joseph notices the photo of an infant with Erina, Speedwagon, and Straizo and confronts Lisa Lisa about it. She tells only half of the photo's significance before Joseph engages Wamuu in a deadly Roman chariot race-battle. Wamuu initially gets the upper hand, but Joseph still manages to counter his dangerous attacks and destroys Wamuu´s body with only his dissolving head. Joseph, in a sign of honor to the warrior, gave Wamuu some of his own blood to ease his pain before drinking the antidote to give his opponent peace of mind.

Kars proves to be less honorable than Wamuu and breaks his promise to fight Lisa Lisa one-on-one and sacrifices one of his weaker Vampires in order to defeat her. Angered by Kars' treachery, Joseph then challenges Kars, who looks upon him as a weak Ripple user and not even worth fighting seriously. All seems to be over in this fight against Kars until a newly rebuilt Stroheim and his Nazi soldiers, Speedwagon, and Smokey arrive to help. As the two fought on, Joseph is eventually given the decision to choose between his life or Lisa Lisa's, but is able to counter the whole situation and send Kars flying into the spike pit below. Stroheim and his Nazi soldiers blast Kars with ultraviolet light, but unknowingly gave him the light necessary for his Super Aja-embedded stone mask to trigger and transform him into the ultimate life form.

Taking the Super Aja while running off, Joseph steals one of the Germans' airplanes to lead Kars away while devising a strategy to defeat him. Joseph then assumed he could kill Kars using the planet: namely crashing the plane with Kars on it into a volcano. Though it appears Kars is dead while sinking into the magma, the Pillar Man evolved a continuous and inorganic porous material to protect himself while digging his way out and slicing Joseph's arm off. When all seemed lost, Joseph unconsciously defends himself from Kars' enhanced Ripple by having the Super Aja redirect the attack into the ground. This causes an eruption that blasts the land the two fighters are on into the air, with Joseph distracting Kars long enough to be knocked out of Earth's orbit by debris. But gravity runs its course and Stroheim assumes Joseph dead at sea near Italy.

Back Home
Weeks later, a funeral is held for the presumably-dead Joseph, but Joseph himself crashes the event and reveals that after he fell back down from the sky, he ended up in Italy where he was helped by some local fisherman and nursed back to health by Suzi Q and later marries her. Joseph then returned to America to find his friends bewildered and shocked; he comes to the realization that Suzi Q had evidently forgotten to telegram them reassuring his survival.

Pre-Stardust Crusaders (1942-87)
In 1942, after learning of his ties to Lisa Lisa and moving to New York, Joseph and Suzi Q started a family with their daughter Holy. Eight years later, Joseph was at Erina's bedside in her final living moments. When Holy married Sadao Kujo and moved to Japan in 1967, Joseph developed an intolerance towards the Japanese. But in 1983, he ended up cheating on Suzi Q with a Japanese college student named Tomoko Higashikata.

Manifesting his Stand Hermit Purple at the age 65, Joseph would learn that Dio Brando resurfaced after being last heard of in 1889. Joseph is further livid to learn that his Stand manifested because of DIO, who succeeded in taking the body of Jonathan Joestar. Joined by Muhammad Avdol who helped him understand the nature of the Stands, Joseph spent the next few years attempting to track down DIO to no avail.

In 1987, Joseph is called by Holy who needs his expertise in an "evil spirit" that his possessing her son Jotaro Kujo. Joseph arrives to the JFK Airport where he bumps into a Japanese man. While he initially apologized for bumping into him, Joseph realized the man's nationality and kicks him. Joseph then subsequently explains his hatred of the Japanese due to one marrying his daughter and convincing her to move to Japan. In contrast, Joseph is content with his Japanese-made Sony Walkman and after putting his headphones on, he boards the plane to Japan.

Stardust Crusaders (1987-88)
Once arriving to Japan, having a reunion with his daughter, Joseph is lead to the police station where Jotaro had confined himself in. When Jotaro refuses to leave his cell as his "evil spirit" snapped off a pinkie from the old man's prosthetic hand, seeing his grandson is a Stand User, Joseph has Avdol force his grandson out of his cell while explaining Stands to Jotaro. Jotaro admits his loss after being tricked into walking out of his cell, Joseph explaining manifestation of their Stands while attempting to convince Jotaro to help him track DIO. Soon after, voicing his refusal in attempting to the culture, Joseph moves into the Kujo residence where he helps in dispatching the Flesh Bud controlling Noriaki Kakyoin.

A few days later, to Joseph's horror, Holy's own Stand manifest and begins to slowly kill her due to lack of fighting spirit. The only means to save Holy within the next fifty days is to find and kill DIO to break his link to the Joestar line. Jotaro's Stand, later named Star Platinum, deduces a fly in the background of one Hermit Purple's photographs depicting DIO. Joseph contacts the Speedwagon Foundation to care for Holy after Avdol confirmed the fly to be native to Egypt as the group are joined by Kakyoin as they leave the airport.

But in-flight encounter with DIO's homicidal assassin Gray Fly results in deaths of the pilots as Joseph is forced to take the wheel and manages to successfully land it 35 km off the coast of Hong Kong. The group later enter the city and discussed their status over a meal. With Joseph's suggestion to ensure a path where there be less risks for civilians, the group decides to take a sea route through the Indian Sea that should get them to Egypt within 50 days. After ordering the group delicacies by mistake due to his inability to read Kanji, they find the French tourist Jean Pierre Polnareff who joined their meal to be another of DIO's assassins. Following the duel between Avdol and Polnareff, the latter is refused to be controlled by a Flesh Bud, the Frenchman confronts Joseph at the dock about his prosthetic hand before joining the group in both their quest and his own agenda.

At sea
The Joestar Group takes a private boat manned by men from the Speedwagon Foundation, however although Captain Tennille, who commands the ship, is discovered as an impostor and working for DIO, the impostor manages to sabotage the boat, forcing Joseph, his companions and the crew to evacuate. They then encounter a deserted ship on which they go aboard, but the ship begins to attack them all, disabling Joseph and the rest of the Joestar Group save Jotaro who defeats the user of the ship Stand, an orangutan.

Singapore
The group is eventually rescued and arrives in Singapore, where they go rest at a luxurious hotel. In his room, Joseph receives a phone call from Polnareff who warns him about a Stand user which Avdol explains could be Rubber Soul, a mercenary working for DIO. Although Joseph tries to gather everyone to stay safe, the threat is dealt with before everyone can meet. Joseph takes the opportunity of using the television set in his room to gather more information about their enemies, he only manages to receives a warning against Kakyoin and briefly spies on DIO before DIO psychically spots him and shoos him away.

Terror in India
Joseph and his companions arrive in Calcutta, India, where Joseph discovers that his preconceptions are actually true, as he is swarmed by beggars and the dirty street are full of the diseased and the homeless. Polnareff separates from the group in search for his sister's murderer. Joseph and Jotaro search for him across the town, but when they learn that Avdol was wounded, decides to keep his survival a secret in order to operate more freely. Joseph and Jotaro then stumble upon a fleeing Hol Horse, one of DIO's henchmen. Although Hol Horse is surrounded, the timely intervention of a girl named Nena who pins Polnareff down allows Hol Horse to escape. Joseph is splattered with a drop of Nena's blood on his arm during the struggle. However, a strange swelling appears where his arm was splattered. In Varanasi, Joseph's swelling grew so much that he decides to have it treated. However, the swelling is revealed to be the Stand Empress which grows into a miniature humanoid attached to its arm. Empress kills a doctor and makes Joseph appear as the culprit, forcing him to run throughout the town. However, Joseph manages to dispose of Empress with his Hermit Purple and kills Nena. The Joestar Group then buy a car in order to travel to Pakistan. On their way, they are attacked by a car, revealed as the Stand Wheel of Fortune, but Jotaro manages to defeat the enemy Stand and its user. He then takes ZZ's passport so he can't follow them again.

Pakistan
In Pakistan, the Joestar Group enters a foggy village where everyone is unwelcoming and unsuspicious. Joseph, trying to jump on his car in order to drive away, finds himself falling on the spikes of a barrier and nearly impales himself. However Enya the Hag, disguising as a gentle hotel owner, welcomes the group in their hotel. Enya eventually reveals herself but is swiftly defeated. However, Joseph decides to keep Enya in order to interrogate her later. The group eventually arrives in Karachi, where Steely Dan kills Enya before she can reveal anything and subdues Joseph by having his Stand Lovers infiltrate his brain. Thus Joseph perceives tenfold whatever pain Steely Dan feels, and the group cannot harm Steely Dan. Joseph flees alongside Polnareff and Kakyoin while Jotaro is humiliated by Steely Dan, but Kakyoin and Polnareff shrink their Stands in order to fight Lovers directly inside Joseph's brain while Hermit Purple allows them to see inside it. Lovers and Steely Dan are eventually defeated.

Arabia
In Arabia, Joseph decides to cross the desert with camels. However, their attempt to cross it is thwarted when they are attacked by the Sun Stand. Jotaro manages to make a shelter against the Sun, but everyone is trapped. Joseph, trying to find a solution, sees his companions laugh maniacally and thinks that they are suffering from a psychotic break. It turns out that Joseph was the last to spot their enemy's ridiculous hiding spot. Arabia Fats is swiftly defeated. He complains about how easy Arabia was defeated and how they didn't even learn his name.

Joseph and his companions stop by a village and buy a Cessna in order to fly across the desert, with a baby. However, Kakyoin has a nightmare in the middle of the flight and becomes so agitated Joseph crashes. Although everyone survives, they are stranded in the desert. Kakyoin, suspicious of the baby, is knocked down and everyone goes to sleep, where they are attacked by Death Thirteen. Fortunately, Kakyoin manages to defeat the Stand as he summoned Hierophant Green. He does not remember due to Death 13's powers and feeds Mannish Boy food, which unbeknownst to him has poop in it.

The Red Sea
Joseph and his companions reach the Red Sea, where they go meet Avdol's father, in fact, Avdol who was secretly disguised in order to buy a submarine. The Joestar Group now reunited use the submarine to cross the sea. They are attacked by High Priestess and forced to evacuate the sinking submarine, but High Priestess fuses with the bedrock and transforms into a gigantic face which swallows everyone. However, Jotaro destroys High Priestess and everyone reaches Egypt.

Egypt
In Egypt, Joseph and the Joestar Group meets with men from the Speedwagon Foundation who provide supplies, give them the Stand user dog Iggy, and inform them of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods, nine other henchmen DIO kept up his sleeves. The first of the Egypt 9 Glory Gods, N'Doul, manages to injure Kakyoin and Avdol. However the combined efforts of Jotaro and Iggy manages to prevail.

Kakyoin and Avdol are given to the care of local doctors, and although Jotaro is acting strange, nothing unusual happens.

Joseph is attacked by Mariah and her Stand Bastet and becomes magnetized alongside Avdol. Having every metallic object attracted to them is a huge handicap, but Joseph manages to surround Mariah with Avdol and uses her power to his advantage by having himself and Avdol collide with each other, crushing Mariah.

After receiving a call from the Speedwagon Foundation, Joseph informs everyone that Holy had only four or five days left to live. In order to speed things up, they then take a train from Luxor to Cairo.

Egypt: Cairo
In Cairo, Joseph has taken a photograph of DIO's Mansion, but everyone he interrogates doesn't recognize it. One man named Daniel J. D'Arby lures the Joestar Group into a gambling session, where he steals Polnareff's soul. Determined to save Polnareff, Joseph challenges D'Arby to a game where each have to put coins into a glass nearly full of liquor and whoever makes the glass spill loses. Although Joseph tries to cheat, he is outsmarted by Daniel, and loses his souls. Fortunately, Jotaro manages to win everyone back.

During several days, Joseph's search continues, but it is Iggy who guides everyone toward DIO's Mansion.

Battle in Dio's Mansion
The Joestar Group is welcomed by Telence T. D'Arby, the butler of the mansion, who forcibly drags Jotaro, Joseph and Kakyoin into a void. The trio finds themselves on an island in the middle of the sea where Telence challenges them to video games. Kakyoin loses the game and his soul, but Jotaro and Joseph cheat together in order to win the second round. When Jotaro pummels Telence, Telence is propelled through the fake sky of the underground room.

Not out of the cellar yet, Joseph, Kakyoin and Jotaro notice that another battle is taking place as they try to escape.

Joseph, Jotaro and Kakyoin meet Nukesaku, a Vampire, and bully him into indicating where DIO is. They decide to flank DIO from the outside of the building, breaking through a wall to enter a second time, and interrupt Polnareff and DIO's clash. Joseph alongside everyone follows Nukesaku to the room where DIO sleeps, but Nukesaku somehow is teleported inside a the coffin in the middle of the room, and Joseph, sniffing an ambush, flees through a window with the rest of the party. As the sun sets, Joseph decides that they flee because fighting the Vampire without the slightest hint of his power is suicidal. He and Kakyoin flee first whereas Polnareff and Jotaro wait in ambush in order to follow DIO.

The Final Battle
DIO pursues Joseph and Kakyoin, who have bought a truck and are trying to drive away from him. At the same time, Kakyoin tries to attack DIO, without results, but notices that DIO's Stand The World is similar to Jotaro's. DIO sends a bystander crash into the truck, forcing Joseph to stop driving and instead hop across the roofs of Cairo.

However Kakyoin devises a plan to force DIO to use his power openly. DIO stops time, taking everyone by surprises and punches through Kakyoin. However Kakyoin manages to tip off Joseph about the true nature of The World. Joseph manages to decipher the cryptic message Kakyoin leaves in regards to DIO's power and even figures out some of The World's weaknesses, but DIO is too strong anyway.

Joseph is stabbed through the throat and taken out as he meets with Jotaro and warns him against The World. Later DIO sucks the entirety of Joseph's blood to power himself up, and Joseph seemingly dies, his specter talking one last time to Jotaro, who manages to kill DIO.

The Long Journey Ends
Jotaro and Polnareff's injuries were dealt with by the Speedwagon Foundation. Since DIO had taken much of Joseph's blood, Jotaro asked for a blood transfusion from DIO's body to Joseph's. After using Star Platinum to restart Joseph's heartbeat, the transfusion began. The shriveled-up body that Joseph had after losing so much blood began returning to his normal muscular figure and Joseph fully revived. Joseph uses the opportunity and plays a joke on Jotaro, claiming to be DIO possessing Joseph's body which nearly causes Jotaro to attack him. Luckily Joseph is spared a beating by claiming it was a joke.

Later, Jotaro and Joseph took the remainder DIO's body outside, where it evaporated with the rising sun. They then gave one final moment of thought for Kakyoin, Iggy, and Avdol.

At the airport, Joseph and Jotaro gave a final goodbye to Polnareff, who was finally ready to return to his home country of France. Joseph asks Polnareff to come with him to America, knowing that the latter had no one waiting for him back home. Polnareff refused the offer, stating that despite being alone, France was his homeland. The trio gave their final goodbyes and left, promising to see one another again someday. In Japan, Holy awoke fully healed and freed from the curse. Even miles away, she knew her son and father were coming home.

Post Stardust Crusaders
During the next 10 years Joseph became a shadow of his former self. He had gallstone surgery, suffered cataracts, wore dentures, needed a cane to walk, and had gone a little senile.

During this time he gained a great-granddaughter named Jolyne Cujoh, but it is unknown if they have interacted with each other.

Joseph also learns of the illegitimate son from his fling with Tomoko Higashikata, who kept the child's existence a secret until he was 16 years of age. As Suzi Q got upset that he was unfaithful to her, Joseph added Josuke to his will. When Joseph attempted to use his Stand to get a picture of Josuke, he discovers an ominous figure in the photos instead, prompting Jotaro to go to Morioh to investigate.

Diamond is Unbreakable (1999)
Joseph ultimately travels to Morioh to help localize Akira Otoishi. He is revealed to have aged terribly, no longer being able to walk without a cane, wears spectacles, is hard of hearing, and isn't nearly as athletic as he used to be. On the boat, he is targeted by Akira after the latter had learnt of his ability to discover his location. After Akira is defeated, Joseph arrives safely on the dock, where he is escorted by Josuke.

On the way to Josuke's house, Joseph and Josuke discover an "invisible baby" which turns out to be a Stand User. As the two are unable to see it, they decide to travel to a baby store and purchase clothing and supplies (unbeknownst to Josuke, Joseph spends most of his money). There's a brief bonding period between the two before the baby begins to cry and go out of control from a lack of mother. When the baby's carriage becomes invisible as well and rolls down a hill into a pond, Josuke panics about not being able to locate the baby in the water and blames Joseph for the situation. Joseph, however, cuts himself to stain the water with his blood, thus allowing Josuke to find the baby. He says he did it because he wanted to make Josuke proud.

Throughout the rest of the part, Joseph is seen taking care of the baby and travelling with Josuke to places around town. At one point, he comes across a sulking Yukako and gives her advice on how to get Koichi to be interested in her, particularly by visiting Aya's Salon. Later that day, Joseph and Josuke decide to head to Kameyu department store, where they eventually meet up with Yukako, Rohan and Koichi and his family. At the store, a flash from Rohan's camera causes the baby to cry, forcing Joseph to run out of the building, but not before bumping Koichi into Yukako's arms.

By the end, Joseph adopts the baby and names her Shizuka - this, however, leads to further conflict with his wife Suzi Q, who believes the baby to be another "secret child". When he and Jotaro leave Morioh, Joseph assures the latter that the people of the town have "hearts of gold", and that Josuke and his friends will be able to handle any future threat. Josuke himself sees Joseph off, though he ends up stealing his wallet using Crazy Diamond's power.

Stone Ocean (2012)
In an interview with Eiichiro Funakoshi, Araki describes Joseph to be "likely still alive, albeit a little dumber." Though he does not appear in Part 6, this would put him at the age of 91 during its events.

Standard Equipment

  • Bottle Cap: He used Ripple to pop the cap off of a cola bottle at a corrupt police officer and two tequila bottles' corks against a pair of Nazi soldiers, in the form of high speed projectiles.
  • Tommy Gun & Grenades: He used a Tommy gun to shoot Straizo and then strike him with the stock charged with the Ripple. This was followed by secretively attaching a grenade to Straizo's scarf, the pin of which was attached by strings to the pins of several other grenades Joseph had managed to plant on Straizo's back.
  • Motorcycle: To travel towards Mexico to learn more about the Pillar Man mentioned by Straizo, Joseph would travel across North America by motorcycle.
  • Drag Disguise: To sneak inside a Nazi outpost in Mexico, Joseph wore a drag costume to trick the guards into thinking he was a party girl. However due to the costume's poor quality Joseph was unable to trick the guards and instead used Hamon to incapacitate them.
  • American Clackers: In order to come up with a special attack, Joseph invented a fighting style that involved infusing the Ripple into a pair of normal American Clackers. Once infused, the Clackers become a lethal weapon, as the user is able to rip through an opponent's skin using them, and from there the Ripple can enter the body, thus inflicting massive damage. Because of their shape and aerodynamic design, someone who is trained in the Clackers' use is able to easily maneuver them around their body, even having the ability to make them seemingly disappear by hiding them behind their back.
  • Prosthetic Hand: During his battle with Ultimate Kars, Joseph's hand would be sliced of by Kars, which would get replaced by a prosthetic given to him by Stroheim. Joseph's prosthetic would get destroyed in multiple battles and would replaced by the Speedwagon Foundation.

Optional Equipment

  • Nazi Disguise: After knocking out two Nazi soldiers, Joseph took their clothing and snuck into a Nazi outpost. Using this disguise Joseph was able to sneak into a Nazi lab where he would find Speedwagon and the Pillar Man Santana.
  • Skeleton Heel Stone Weaponry: He wielded a large sledgehammer in the chariot race against Wamuu, which he slathered in oil to improve its conduction of the Ripple. Joseph also used a heavy crossbow to fire a Ripple-charged iron ball at the wall of the arena, where it rode around the entire wall before launching off and hitting Wamuu from behind.
  • Nazi Military Aircraft: In his plan to defeat Ultimate Kars, Joseph would steal an unoccupied Nazi military aircraft and would lure Kars towards a volcano near Italy and would crash into both Kars, dragging him into the volcano. The aircraft would be destroyed in an explosion when it crashed into the volcano's center.
  • Cessna: Joseph and the rest of the Joestar Party would use an Cessna to travel across the Arabian dessert. Joseph would crash the Cessna on accident due to Kakyoin's nightmares caused by Death 13.

Notable Techniques

  • Hamon: Joseph inherited the Hamon and its capabilities from his grandfather, Jonathan Joestar, as well as his mother, Lisa Lisa. In addition, he uses techniques commonly present in stage magic to confuse his foes. After his Hamon training, Joseph frequently combines his Hamon with other objects to perform complex and creative attacks. Later in Stardust Crusaders, he shows that he is able to pass the Hamon through his Stand, Hermit Purple. However, as he grew older, due to neglecting his Hamon training, he became unable to do the same things he was capable of when he was younger and ended up aging at a relatively normal pace. Aside from his intelligence and slight of hand, Joseph also possessed arguably superhuman physicality. His build and physique undoubtedly contributed to this, but it is more likely that the bulk of his physicality came from his natural affinity for the Hamon, and later his extensive training in its use. He demonstrated humanly impossible strength and speed on a number of occasions. During his fight with Straizo, he was able to dodge a point blank blast from the the Vampire's Space Ripper Stingy Eye attack, and on several occasions was able to hold his own in hand to hand combat with the Pillar Men. During his battle with the Pillar Men, Joseph had demonstrated several techniques similar to his grandfather's.
  • Hamon Overdrive: A basic use of Hamon where the user imbues on attack with Hamon. Joseph is first shown using this on a racist cop in New York, where he imbued a bottle of coke with Hamon, sending the cap flying into the cop's finger, breaking it.
  • Hamon Hair Attack: When Santana was able to shoot him, Speedwagon, and Stroheim, Joseph used Stroheim's hair to block the bullets, keeping them in the air using his Hamon.
  • Hamon Hypnosis: When Joseph was briefly fighting Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli, he used his Hamon to control as bird to make it fly into his mouth.
  • Hamon Beat: When climbing the Hell Climb Pillar, Joseph imbued both his arms and legs with Hamon to grab onto pressurized oil that was being sprayed out, allowing him to launch himself to the wall in order to climb the pillar.
  • Hamon Beat Overdrive: Joseph traps an opponent with 100% wool string with and imbues it with Hamon. Joseph used this to destroy the body of Esidisi.
  • Rebuff Overdrive: When Wamuu jumped at Joseph, he counterattacked by imbuing his elbows with Hamon and attacking his legs.
  • Zoom Punch: Joseph is able to use Hamon to dislocate his shoulder to extend it. The Hamon softens the pain of the dislocation allowing him to attack from a distance.
  • Joestar Secret Technique: The Joestar Secret Technique is a technique were one runs away from their opponent to lead them somewhere that would put them at a disadvantage. Joseph has used this twice in the series, the first time in his battle against Straizo, and the second in his battle against Ultimate Kars. Joseph taught this technique to his grandson Jotaro Kujo, who used it against Rubber Soul.
  • Clacker Volley: Joseph chucks the Clackers into his opponent's direction. This can be done a number of ways, but to produce the best and most surprising effect, he can hide them behind his back. From there, Joseph can slingshot them from behind his back at the enemy in all directions.
  • Clacker Boomerang: Joseph throws both pairs of Clackers into a beam or pillar behind the opponent. This is in order to fool them into assuming he missed. One is thrown into the partition, causing one side of it to be lodged in place. The other side grabs onto the second pair of Clackers, and essentially flings them back towards the opponent from behind, much like how a boomerang works.
  • Hermit Purple: Joseph's Stand, Hermit Purple, manifests itself as a tangle of thorny vines, which Joseph can wield as both a weapon and a hazardous defense. Furthermore, it has been shown to conduct the Ripple, which makes Hermit Purple one of the more effective Stands against those weak to it such as Vampires. Joseph develops the Stand after DIO pierces Jonathan's body with the Arrow, upon which it responded to DIO and Enya awakening The World, at the same time influencing the whole Joestar family, which also granted them stands.
  • Spirit Photography: One of its special abilities (shared with Jonathan's stand) is to use cameras, televisions and other things to perform a form of fortune telling referred to as spirit photography. When introduced, it was demonstrated that he had to smash an expensive Polaroid camera to do this, and the camera would dispense a picture of DIO. Later on he is seen using televisions for this ability without having to damage them.

Other

Standard Tactics: Joseph's fighting style has him get a read on his opponent and using their mind against them. He will in conjunction use his Hamon with clackers or other weapons and attacks along with surveying his environment to fight his opponent. | Same as before. | Joseph no longer uses Hamon unless he needs to and instead will use Hermit Purple in combat.

Weaknesses: If he can't breath he will eventually run out of Hamon. If Joseph were to use Ultimate Deep Pass Overdrive he will rapidly age until he becomes an old man. If A Hamon user's Hamon unable to connect with its target, the target will be unaffected. A way to prevent Hamon from connecting is by freezing the users way of attacking with it before it could reach it's target. Joseph cannot fight against those he can't get a read on. Joseph will not admit defeat. | Same as before. His crossbow is so powerful he can't draw the string back himself and has to fall off a horse to do so. | Same as before. If A Stand is damaged the user will by proxy take damage and if they're damaged, their Stand will take damage. A Stand's energy or power is inversely proportional to their range of operation, the farther away the Stand goes, the weaker, slower, and less precise its movements become. The less air a Stand user has the weaker their Stand becomes. If a Stand user becomes unconscious their Stand will deactivate. Stands that imbue themselves into objects, take the shape of an item, or merge with a user’s body can be seen by normal humans. Stands are tied to the mental abilities of the user, with Stands becoming weaker if the user's mental abilities are weakened. Stands require the spirit to fight in order to be used or else the Stand will harm its user making them sick with a deadly fever. When one's Stand is shrunken to a microscopic level it has a hard time phasing through object. Keeping a Stand shrunken to a microscopic level is exhausting for the user. Stands can't be summoned in dreams, with the user only being able to use their Stand if they pass out while using their Stand.

Note: Due to Ultimate Kars having Hamon hundreds of times stronger than Joseph's, Joseph's Environmental Destruction wouldn't scale to the potency of Kars'.

Trivia

  • As an Englishman, he is famous for often saying various phrases in English. His catchphrases include "OH! NO!" (Used both in Part 2 and Part 3) and "Oh! My! God!" (used in Part 3 and Part 4) as a few examples.
  • In part 3, Joseph is mistakenly called American by some characters, despite being British. This is due to the fact that Joseph was traveling through countries in Asia, and it is common that most people who do not speak English do not know the accent differences of the different dialects of the English language.
  • A running gag in Part 3 has Joseph lose parts of his prosthetic hand, or even the hand itself, when enemies attack him, but later appearing with it intact without any definite explanation.
  • Joseph is a name of Hebrew origin (the original version of the name is Yosef) that can mean "He will add", "Taken away" or "Praise, Fame taken away". The name can be transliterated in katakana as ジョセフ (Josefu).
  • Joseph has survived four plane crashes (two in Part 2 and two in Part 3); this was brought up twice throughout Part 3.
  • Joseph is the only person to be able to use both Hamon and have a Stand of his own.
  • According to Straizo, non-organic objects can only conduct Ripple if the user is touching them. Despite this, Joseph managed to maintain non-organic objects imbued with Ripple after they left his hands on two separate occasions: during his initial fight with Wamuu, with his clackers, and during his final fight with Wamuu, with the metal ball ammunition for his crossbow.
  • Joseph, out of all the JoJos, had lived the longest life to date.
    • Araki said once that he thinks Joseph is "a little dumber but still alive" when Stone Ocean takes place, bringing his oldest confirmed age to ~91.[3]
