Johnny Joestar

Johnny Joestar, born Jonathan Joestar is the protagonist of Part 7: Steel Ball Run.

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 enemies with special abilities called "Stands." They soon discover the true intentions behind 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 II. 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 only moved to his son, rather than 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 the Holy Corpse.

Johnny is both a Spin User and a Stand User, who wields the multipurpose Stand, Tusk.

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.
