Johnny Joestar

Johnny Joestar, born Jonathan Joestar is the protagonist of Steel Ball Run and an integral part of history in JoJolion. He is the seventh protagonist of the series and the sixth to be referred to as JoJo.

A former jockey turned paraplegic, Johnny joins the Steel Ball Run race in 1890 accompanied by Gyro Zeppeli in order to learn more about the secrets of Spin, and for the cash prize of $50,000,000. Over the course of the cross-country horse race, Johnny and Gyro encounter many different Stand abilities. They soon discover the true origins of the SBR race, and come face to face with U.S. President Funny Valentine, who will do whatever it takes to steal the corpse of Jesus Christ. Johnny loses Gyro in the final battle against Funny Valentine, but avenges his death in the end. He drops out of the race and takes a boat to Italy in order to return Gyro's corpse to his family.

On the way there, he meets Rina Higashikata, the daughter of Norisuke, who was also a participant of the race. The two hit it off, got married, and moved to Rina's home town of Morioh in Japan where they had one child, George Joestar III. When George was three years old, his mother was struck down with a terrible illness that was untreatable. Wanting nothing more than to help his wife, Johnny returned to America to retrieve the Saint's Corpse, which he would use to drive the disease away from his wife. This was a success, but the disease was unfortunately moved to his son, rather than being expelled for good. Realizing that there was no other way to save them both, he used his Stand one last time to transfer the disease to him, when he was unfortunately crushed under a boulder through the ability of a new Stand created by a miracle. His body was buried under the Twin Pine trees in Morioh, and it is speculated that he achieved Sainthood, and his corpse is what gives the land of Morioh its supernatural properties. Johnny is both a user of Spin and a Stand User, who wields the multipurpose Stand, Tusk.

Personality Traits
Johnny is kind of a jerk. He seems to be the only JoJo that acts less noble and more in his own self-interest.

Johnny is 19 in Part 7 and 29 in the Part 8 flashbacks.

Spin & Tusk
After Gyro teaches Johnny the basics of Spin, Johnny unlocks his Stand, Tusk, after having stepped through the Devil's Palm. Tusk evolves three times, and has four forms- each with a new ability.


 * ACT1- Allows Johnny to shoot his fingernails off his hands like bullets. The nails grow back quickly.


 * ACT2- Allows Johnny to shoot more powerful versions of the fingernail bullets, but the regrow time is much longer.


 * ACT3- With this form he is able to shoot holes into objects and transfer himself through them like a portal.


 * ACT4- Allows Johnny to shoot Golden Spin fingernail bullets that are imbued with infinite rotation. This infinite rotation can counteract any ability.
