Jotaro Kujo

appearance

In his first appearance, Jotaro wore a long jacket, similar to a trench coat. It was blue [notes 1]/black (in the Stardust Crusaders anime adaptation) and decorated with gold chains and buttons. Underneath the jacket is a plain purple or pink t-shirt, although in the OVA series it is red and in the Stardust Crusaders adaptation it is gray. On his head is a blue/black hat with various gold ornaments. A button with a gold hand is perhaps the best known, this image being the logo of Lucky Land Communications. Completing this school uniform are his shoes, which are dark blue or black.

T-1 personality

Jotaro is introduced as a rough, rebellious troublemaker, but he has a kind heart and is loyal to those he likes. He is very perceptive, intelligent, and quick-witted, maintaining a perpetually calm, slightly neutral or indifferent demeanor. His most notable trait is his seemingly distant nature. He is a quiet individual, often content to express himself in short phrases. Araki has explained that he believes anyone can discern his emotions simply by looking at him, and likely thinks that overexerting himself to portray how he feels would be a waste of time, leading others to perceive him as insensitive.[11] Jotaro is both fierce and kind, demonstrating these traits in various scenes: from his fight with N'Doul to his encounters with Daniel and Telence D'Arby. A clear example is how he saved Noriaki Kakyoin instead of simply killing him (even risking his own life just to save the young man from DIO's deadly enslavement). Although he isn't very open about showing it, he loves his mother Holy and respects his grandfather Joseph.

T-2 personality

Jotaro's impetus for going to Egypt is Holy's life, endangered by DIO's Stand, and he flew into an uncharacteristic rage when the vampire desecrated his grandfather's corpse, before apologizing to Joseph's spirit (who had previously warned Jotaro not to succumb to anger). During his journey to Egypt, he grew closer to his companions, and through various small gestures expressed his friendship towards them, culminating in a hug with Polnareff as he was about to leave. Signs of him relaxing his posture also appear occasionally, such as smiling (though not very often), for example when the group teased ZZ and at one point he even laughs along with Kakyoin and Polnareff upon discovering the weakness of the Sun Stand in chapter 167 (episode 44). He does not tolerate when someone harms women or children in a fight, even if they are evil, and will be especially violent with the perpetrator, as seen against Steely Dan, whom he beat as severely as possible. Jotaro remains prone to violence, and does not hesitate to seriously injure his enemies, even if they are women.[12]

T-3 personality

He is a very calm individual, capable of maintaining composure even in the most extreme situations. The best example of his cool head would be his confrontation with Daniel J. D'Arby, participating in a dangerous poker game during which he successfully deceived the expert player by doubling down, even without knowing what cards he himself held, and betting the souls of all his companions and allies involved. Even so, he remains slightly anxious when something unexpected happens, but almost never goes so far as to lose his composure. On the other hand, he is blunt and foul-mouthed, having no problem being insolent towards his mother or any authority figure. The teenager favors witty one-liners, often ridiculing whoever is the target of his barbs and offering absurd reasons for his feats, most notably defeating DIO because he made him angry. Whether he takes himself seriously or is just having fun using his witty phrases is something that remains unanswered.

T-4 personality

He is interested in a wide range of topics, such as sumo wrestling or the television series Columbo, from which he claims to have acquired his deductive skills.[13] Several of his hobbies indicate that he has an intellectual side, which could lead him to become a marine biologist in the future. Jotaro is irritated by the numerous adoring girls who pursue him (both at his school and throughout his journey), whom he ignores or brusquely chases away, especially when they begin to complain or argue. However, he implied that he has a soft spot (or at least is more tolerant) for children. When Anne accompanies them on their journey, he never yells at her and even protects her from enemy Stand Users, and also cares for her in a way similar to an older brother. When he takes a lollipop from a small child, he tells him that as compensation he will buy him a new one later.

T-5 final personality.

Another interesting peculiarity of his personality seems to be an attachment to his clothing. When the nurse at his school suggested cutting parts of his pants, he refused.[14] When his clothes were torn during his fight against ZZ, he went so far as to pay to have a uniform made exactly like the one he had. When he first exchanges blows with DIO, he specifically points out how the battle put a hole in his pants. He also has an attachment to his cap. This implies that he is either stingy or has a particular sense of fashion; the fact that he pointed out the price of his pants after DIO put a hole in them seems to imply the former.

Stand: Star Platinum

Main article: Star Platinum One of the strongest Stands in the series, Star Platinum possesses superhuman senses, strength, stamina, accuracy, and speed. Like other physically powerful (or short-range) Stands, Star Platinum suffers from a narrow range of activity; it only activates within a 2-3 meter radius of Jotaro. It is similar to DIO's The World, and, as it would eventually turn out, can also be used to stop time; an ability revealed right at the end of his fight against DIO. The Star tarot card, after which it was named, symbolizes hope, above all else.

staff

Jotaro is generally remarkably calm under pressure, and is very aware of his surroundings and capabilities; which combined make him a very reliable fighter. Knowledge: It is implied that Jotaro has accumulated a considerable amount of varied knowledge. At the beginning of Part 3, inside his cell, in order to understand his Stand, he had collected a series of books on the subject of the paranormal. Tenacity: Jotaro is naturally confident and intolerant of suggestions that he should defer in any way; backed by his own strength, as well as that of his Stand. Trick: Jotaro is apparently able to store up to five lit cigarettes in his own mouth, keep them lit once inside, and then drink juice without extinguishing them. Oingo failed when attempting to replicate this technique.

techniques

Launch: Star Platinum grabs the opponent by the neck and punches them. Ora Ora Ora: Star Platinum unleashes a barrage of punches on the opponent, finally ending with a left hook. My Stand: The Judge: After grabbing the opponent, Star Platinum repeatedly punches the opponent in the face before finishing with an uppercut that launches the opponent into the air. Star Finger: Star Platinum extends its middle and index fingers to strike the opponent. This move cannot be blocked. Time Stop: After approaching and striking the opponent, Jotaro stops time and unleashes a barrage of punches with Star Platinum before finishing with a right hook to the opponent's stomach. Once all that is done, time resumes its course.

curiosities

His famous catchphrase "yare yare daze" doesn't have a direct translation, but it's generally translated as "What a pain" or "Give me a break." It can also mean "Well, well..." or "Okay, okay...", as "yare yare" is commonly translated as "Oh well..."; it's usually an expression of boredom or exasperation.
