Character analysis: Jotaro Kujo

Most of the references for Jotaro are going to be coming directly from the Jojo manga. Not because I’m a whore for canon or something, but because the anime is much more difficult to link to due to being more regulated in comparison.

For that matter though I AM compositing Jotaro. This blog includes manga feats, relevant anime feats, various video games like eyes of heaven and the stardust crusaders OVA. THAT BEING SAID UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES EYES OF HEAVEN IS INCREDIBLY NON-STANDARD TO USE AND I AM NOT ADVOCATED IT BEING INCLUDED IN NORMAL BATTLES.

I’m using info from every part of Jojo, but stats wise I’m going to treat Jotaro as if he was in his prime (part 3). No downgrades in stats due to aging or past battles having taken their toll on Jotaro by his more adult years.

I’ve tried to use mostly decent translations of each part (no duwang translation for part 4 for example). For the most part there shouldn’t be anything significantly off base, though UNFORTUNATELY  I didn't find a good place to find the re-translated/colored versions of the manga until I was nearly done. Please don't be anal about it.

All chapter numbers are based on the span of the entire Jojo series, not just individual parts.

There are some acronyms for Jojo sources. They should be self explanatory.

Spoilers for Jojo obviously


Jotaro Kujo
A delinquent high school student that was enlisted by his grandfather Joesph jostar to hunt down and fight against the evil supernatural “vampire” named Dio in part 3 of Jojo. During this quest he traveled across vast lengths of oceans and several counties (particularly Egypt) all the while fighting off Dio’s goons and tempering his ability to use a newly discovered super natural ability know as a “stand”. At end of said journey he had a climatic showdown with the villain, nearly losing but coming out on top in the end due to his unparalleled whit. He spent most of his adult years afterwards consistently involving himself in supernatural threats, playing a huge part in bringing the supernatural serial killer Kira to an end in part 4 and helping his daughter fight the threat of Dio’s Boyfirend servant pucchi in part 6.

Jotaro is stoic……..like really really stoic. In fact his emotions tend to be so buried underneath the surface that not even his own family can seem to understand him at times, which has led to more than its fair share of drama. However his calm demeanor combined with a quick wit and large scientific knowledge make him a great tactician in battle. Specifically he’s been said to “calmly observe the situation and act” when in a fight.

Armor

Jotaro also does not wear a significant amount of armor. Typically only wearing some fashion of trench coat and his iconic cap.

Equipment 


Jotaro doesn’t carry a lot of equipment. At best only having rifle rounds and steel marbles he can use in conjunction with his stand Star platinum’s abilities (explained further below).


Special abilities


Stand
A stand is one of the main weapons used for combat in the Jojo series and has been referred to with many words over the course of it. Being called a manifestation of spiritual energy, a manifestation of life energy and a manifestation mental energy. They typically take on the appearance of flying humanoid apparitions, although some may be more akin to animals, insects, inanimate objects and more. Using a stand typically requires a certain amount of “mental strength” or will to fight, and are typically said to be somewhat represented of the ego of the person using them. Those without the proper fighting will to use their stands can find them turning on them, as was the case with Jotaro’s mother holy in part 3.

-Stands being referred to as an image created by life force (ch 116) http://i.imgur.com/xqldxQy.jpg

-The stand being referred to as being controlled by spiritual force and controlled though fighting instincts (ch 121) http://i.imgur.com/Vzvnpv8.jpg

-Jotaro referring to it as a physical manifestation of physiological energy in the 1st ep of Dimond is unbreakable https://youtu.be/IRVqd-ltbak?t=153

Stands do have specific rules regarding how they operate and thankfully the series has released easy to read info-graphics on these basics of them, which I will post below for you to read
-you can see some examples of how damaging a stand will in turn damage Jotaro here(ch 123) http://i.imgur.com/qqRuilW.jpg

-And here (ch 129) http://i.imgur.com/spl05Xi.jpg

-You can see another version of the rundown of stand rules here http://i.imgur.com/ZcF2emB.jpg

It is important to note that while these basic rules apply to most stands, there are exceptions. The powers of stands themselves also vary greatly, with some having great physical powers, some having different kinds of elemental manipulation, some soul manipulation, ect. Additionally while in the context of the Jojo universe stands can only be seen or hurt by others who use stands, it should be noted that obviously this can’t necessarily apply to all verse outside of it as the story wasn’t built to accommodate for them.

Anyway Stands typically have their basic abilities measured in letter rankings with A being the strongest and E being the weakest. Said categories measured are destructive power, speed, range, durability, precision and development potential.

Star platinum
Jotaro’s Stand is called star platinum and is a short range stand that focuses mainly on physical speed, power and precision. Data files and character statements  claim it has a basic operational range of 2 meters (or about 6.5 feet) for effective combat situations. However it is important to note Jotaro can and has moved it farther on occasion for less intense purposes, such as to grab small objects for his entertainment or leisure

 -example of Jotaro having grabbed a boombox while in a jail cell (ch 114) http://i.imgur.com/a21OTrq.jpg

-Having grabbed a drink from a bar at least a dozen or so feet away (ch 215) http://i.imgur.com/JrObjHb.jpg
Star platinum has gone through several different evolutions over the years, starting off in its default form and later evolving into a form known as “Star platinum the world” during Jotaro’s fight with the villain Dio at the end of part 3.In the video game Eyes of heaven it also underwent a final transformation known as Star platinum over heaven.

None of these evolutions had any major changes on Star platinum’s basic stats, though the world and over heaven did grant the use of some additional special powers which will be detailed further below. It should also be noted that in his more advanced age certain physical strains of Star platinum’s abilities started to rear its head, which got reflected in his stands stats around part 6 by lowering its overall durability substantially.

Interestingly Jotaro was not born with the ability to use a stand and instead only gained his after the villain Dio obtained one with the stolen body of his ancestor Jonathan j=Jostar. This body gaining a stand somehow caused a chain reaction throughout all his ancestors like Jotaro, giving him one as well

Star platinum abilities
Ora ora ora Barrage
A barrage of punches typically followed with the phrase ORA ORA ORA. Star platinum can use it both two handedly and one handedly while grabbing a person with the other.
Various examples

- Part 3 of the manga http://i.imgur.com/NjELqUP.jpg

-part 4 of the manga http://i.imgur.com/DY6toXS.jpg



Star finger
A powerful physical attack where Star platinum will forcibly extend two fingers on its hand to impale its opponents. This attack gives Star an additional bit of range (around 1-2 meters/3-6 feet) and is typically used to take opponents off guard.

-one example of its use was when Jotaro used it against the stand dark blue moon, taking it off guard when it attempted to use an artificially generated water whirlpool to keep Jotaro at a distance(c129) http://i.imgur.com/OZySYjt.jpg

-Another example was when Jotaro was fighting the stand user forever, flicking a piece of debris when he was immobilized to the stand user by surprise (c132) http://i.imgur.com/7RtOw94.jpgand http://i.imgur.com/ghSb33o.jpg





Enhanced eyesight
Star platinum also has enhanced eyesight, allowing it to see things from father distances and more precisely than ordinary humans can. Jotaro can seem to see what star does from this vision as well.

-For example star has good enough eyesight to see a small fly hidden in the background of a high resolution photo and to redraw it with needed accuracy(ch 121) http://i.imgur.com/ryTCCMN.jpg

-It could also see the stand user N Doul from around 400m (about .25 miles) away against a barren wasteland(ch 186) http://i.imgur.com/yO4teem.jpg

-Another example of it searching for N Doul in the ova ep 8 https://youtu.be/uUXSM2rPJec?t=925and https://youtu.be/YSznJDPboo4?t=844

Enhanced precision
Star platinum has enhanced precision, allowing him to perform tasks with a level of certainty far beyond normal human motion.

-A great example of this is how Star pulled out a patristic worm implanted in the stand user Kakyoin’s brain with enough precision and speed to not cause any damage. This is said in story to require more skill than a master surgeon or machine, given the worm was still alive and wiggling around during the procedure (ch 120) http://i.imgur.com/0lcc6F8.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/A0qFNTS.jpg

-Star could also notice and catch the microscopic lovers stand used by the character Steely Dan. Said stands main form of attack is entering the brains of its victims and enhancing their ability to feel pain, taking them off guard (ch 165) http://i.imgur.com/QE5buKR.jpg andhttp://i.imgur.com/L3K4wvA.jpg

Levitation/flight
Jotaro can apparently channel Star’s power inwardly for the sake of levitation and even some limited flight. He can also use his stands fighting abilities in tandem with these flight abilities, giving him some air options.

-levitating while fighting Dio(ch 256) http://i.imgur.com/FA3kxN6.jpg

-flying/maneuvering in the air somewhat when fighting dio (ch257) http://i.imgur.com/n9K9dj7.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/WAMQ3yP.jpg

Super breath
The ability to breathe in really really hard. Star platinum used this ability to suck up and hold the body of the stand justice (which was made out of a huge body of fog).This ability could conceivable by used to effect of disable some air based or gas based attacks. In several of the video games Star will use this ability to suck more solid opponents to his position from a moderate distance.

-The most prominent example of him Inhaling the stand justice (ch 159) http://i.imgur.com/KvTwZCR.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pQoQovX.jpg


Intangibility
Star platinum has some limited form of intangibility, though he has not been shown to weaponize this ability as a form of attack.

-One example is Jotaro using Star platinum to stop and restart his own heart(c260) http://i.imgur.com/I9RBcuM.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/CDkEDjK.jpg

-another more impressive example is Jotaro using star platinum to reach into his grandpas body to restart his heart(c265) http://i.imgur.com/wSNLBJ8.jpg

Throwing
Star platinum can greatly increase its range by throwing objects at his opponents, typically with deadly accuracy. A great example of this is with steel marbles used to hunt down a stand using rat during part 4, giving him an effective range of 20 meters http://i.imgur.com/LhpJ1nJ.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/acsm8ig.jpg(V 35).Another example was using rifle rounds (also to hunt down the rat stand users in part 4), giving him an effective range of 50-70 meters http://i.imgur.com/5RI3hXq.jpg (V 35)

-One example of this is during Jotaro’s fight with Dio, where he precisely threw a knife at least several dozen feat to hit a car Dio was trying to escape with (ch 261) http://i.imgur.com/kzkgPpd.jpg and andhttp://i.imgur.com/WOYTYUH.jpg

-He also could throw a stone several dozen feet away to hit the hidden villain Arabia fats in his hiding place (ch 167) http://i.imgur.com/RT30ZSQ.jpg


Improvised weapons
Star platinum has on occasion created or used improvised weapons to attack his opponents with.

-One example was during Jotaro’s fight with abdul in, where he used the steel bars of a jail cell as makeshift sword like weapons (ch 116) http://i.imgur.com/sDDsDt4.jpg

-Another example was when Star platinum grabbed some shards of glass that had fallen during his fight with the stand uses Forever, to use as a pair of knuckle bracers(ch 132) http://i.imgur.com/5u4K97k.jpg

Self-preservation
Star can protect Jotaro separately from his conscious recognition to an extent.

-Protecting Jotaro during time stop in ep 13 of the ova https://youtu.be/awZUyUjBBMI?t=158

-Star attacking a person while Jotes has amnesia in part 6(ch 669) http://i.imgur.com/8nmRgvu.jpg

Time stop
The ability to stop time, which was learned when Jotaro fought Dio at the end of part 3 and is exclusive to the world and over heaven variants of star platinum. When originally discovered Jotaro’s use of the ability was unrefined, with him only really being able to move for about 2 or 3 seconds during most of his fight against Dio. However according to Data files this limit eventually maxed at around 5 seconds towards the fights end. Due to neglect of the ability for several years by part 4 Jotaro’s ability to perform time stop decreased to around 2 seconds, though it increased upwards to around 5 by the climax of the events of part 6.

Jotaro CAN NOT spam time stop continuously. Every time stop puts tremendous strain on his body, particularly his heart and he requires several seconds of rest between uses before he can do it again (ch 746) http://i.imgur.com/pGqUXn9.jpg

-It is important to note Jotaro is aware and can see movement during a time stop performed by 
someone else even if he himself is incapable of moving(ch 257)  http://i.imgur.com/oIazXJC.jpg

-Jotaro can stop time within another personas time stop(ch 264) http://i.imgur.com/McNl4yX.jpg


ASB: https://youtu.be/IqxqjqvLMig?t=56                                                                                                       



Reality override
A power learned by Jotaro after fighting Dio over heaven (an alt version of Dio) in the games Eyes of heaven and exclusive to the over heaven variant of star platinum. It allows the user to override reality through the power of their stand, typically on physical contact with the stands fists. In the game Dio had a version of this ability that was fairly OP/developed, however Jotaro’s exact limits  have never been elaborated on and where implied to be more limited. In terms of what we know for sure Jotaro was able to counter Dio’s reality warping effects to an extent (preventing himself from being erased from existence) and displayed the ability to use these powers to heal himself or reversing injuries. It probably wouldn't be used in an actual fight, but what the fuck I'll slap it in here.
