==Summary==
Jotaro Kujo (空条 承太郎 Kūjō Jōtarō) is the grandson of Joseph Joestar, the third "JoJo" in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and the main protagonist of Part III: Stardust Crusaders. ​​​​​A short-tempered, troublemaking delinquent, he discovers that he is haunted by an "evil spirit" in 1988, and, fearing this spirit, he gets himself locked away in prison. Here, he is confronted by his grandfather and his friend, Muhammad Avdol, who reveals that this evil spirit is the manifestation of his vital energy, a Stand - Star Platinum.
After being told of the reappearance and story of his great-great-grandfather's killer, DIO, Jotaro expresses disinterest and contempt, but due to DIO's use of the Stand Arrow, the Joestar bloodline begins to awaken Stands of their own; including his mother, who is too peaceful to survive and exist with such a power. Driven to save his mother, Jotaro sets on a course to Egypt with his grandfather and their allies to defeat the immortal DIO, as the Stardust Crusaders.
Ten years later in Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable, Jotaro arrives in the town of Morioh to locate his grandfather's illegitimate son, Josuke Higashikata, and warn him of the dangers lurking in his unassuming town. Even later in Part VI: Stone Ocean, Jotaro would end up helping his daughter Jolyne with her fight against Enrico Pucci.

Speed: Superhuman (Ran approximately 400 meters in 22 seconds [18.18 m/s]JoJo's Bizarre Adventures: Stardust Crusaders Chapter 74) with Massively FTL reactions (Reacted to The World.

Stated to be the number 1 in speed among all existing Stands at the time, putting him above the likes of Red Hot Chili Pepper, Crazy Diamond, Hanged Man and more. While massively weakened, bleeding out and nearing death, he could easily blitz Killer Queen, with his speed being noted to be unbelievable and way too fast by Kira himself.

Lifting Strength: Athletic Human (Can effortlessly carry adult men with one arm); at least Class K, possibly Class M (Held up a giant tooth of the High Priestess halfway through Part 3. Much stronger than Tarkus and even DIO initially at his peak) with Star Platinum/Star Platinum The World
Striking Strength: Wall level (Kicked a cop hard enough to collapse a garage door, kicked through chains); at least Large Building level+ with Star Platinum (Star Platinum is physically the strongest Stand in the world at the time and surpasses the majority of the Stands within the series), higher while enraged, far higher while at his peak (Annihilated The World in one blow) | Wall level (Split Josuke's lip); Large Building level+ with Star Platinum: The World
Durability: Wall level (Should be able to withstand the force of his own attacks); at least Large Building level+ with Star Platinum (Outclass any other Stand in durability, with a few exceptions, was struck multiple times by The World and matched it blow for blow. Much more durable than his Part 4 and 6 self), higher while enraged (Capable of withstanding the force of his own blows, exponentially more durable compared to before), far higher while at its peak (Cross-countered with a strengthened The World, withstanding not only the force of his own blow but but also the full powered kick of The World with only slight injury) | Wall level; Large Building level+ (Took numerous blows from an enraged Josuke Higashikata without any visible damage. Only after numerous heavy blows, Star Platinum damaged its own hands. Even in Part 4, still outclass the majority of other Stands with with the exception of Sheer Heart Attack. Should be durable enough to fight Red Hot Chili Pepper, as Akira himself didn't want to fight Jotaro. Withstood an empowered Sheer Heart Attack at point-blank range, and despite having its guard broken, it didn't seem to take much damage despite Jotaro himself being brutally injured)
Stamina: Superhuman (Jotaro's willpower and resilience are phenomenal, enough for him to withstand many beatdowns from DIO and the World during their climactic showdown, persisting to deliver a killing blow even after having multiple bones broken. In Diamond is Unbreakable, Jotaro was able to continue advancing on and dodging attacks from Bug-Eaten despite continually stopping time whilst being affected by his poison. After being nearly killed by Sheer Heart Attack, Jotaro was still able to force himself to his feet and catch Kira off guard before beating him down with Star Platinum)
Range: Standard Melee Range physically; Star Platinum has an effective manifestation range of 2 meters; Standard Melee Range physically, Extended Melee Range with Star Finger,JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders Chapter 16JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders Chapter 19 at least Hundreds of Meters with projectiles (Can flick projectiles up to seventy meters with perfect accuracy before outside conditions effects his precisionJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable Chapter 60 and threw Iggy nearly 400 meters at N'DoulJoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders Chapter 74), High Universal with Time Stop (Due to manipulating time, it is a Range-Irrelevant Ability that affects time of the whole worldJoJo-A-Go!Go!: Standology through all the spaceTokai Lecture)
Standard Equipment: Star Platinum, Lighter
Intelligence: Gifted (Though he may appear short-tempered and straightforward, Jotaro is remarkably cunning and resourceful, taking after his grandfather in many ways. Though his Stand may be the simplest of all, Jotaro's intelligence more than makes up for this straightforwardness, as he can easily bluff and lure opponents into vulnerable positions from which to beat them senseless. When cornered, Jotaro will even rely on the Joestar secret technique of simply running away, though to a more advantageous position, such as luring Rubber Soul into the water so that he'd have no choice to breathe. Impressively, he even bluffed Daniel J. D'Arby, who was able to cheat even his grandfather, into passing out. He showcased his intelligence best in his final battle with DIO, using a simple magnet trick to buy time by convincing DIO he can move within stop time before the trick was revealed, baiting DIO into attacking him during stopped time and leaving himself vulnerable to counterattack. He also had the foresight to pad his clothing with magazines to lower the impact of any projectiles, and he lured DIO into yet another trap by playing dead, taking the opportunity to crush his skull. As an adult, Jotaro has become calmer and even more intelligent, so much so that he's stated to always be calm and collected in a fight, carefully analyzing Kira's household to profile him and his motivations, coming to many accurate conclusions regarding his personality and motivations. He has also become a marine biologist who contributed greatly to the field. Jotaro is also bilingual, fluent in at least Japanese and English). Star Platinum has been shown to have it's own self-sentience being described as violent and hard to control, Star Platinum despite following Jotaro's commands has shown the intelligence to act on its own in some situations for the benefit of Jotaro, such as finding and bringing Jotaro items to entertain himself with or in most cases, self-preservation, acting on its own if given the chance when Jotaro otherwise can't or is unable to.
Weaknesses: Jotaro is quick to anger, though he becomes calmer as he matures. Any damage dealt to Star Platinum is reflected onto Jotaro. In Stone Ocean, he can only stop time for up to five seconds with Star Platinum: The World, and must wait a moment before he can use it again, due to how taxing it is on the body, which doesn't affect his Stardust Crusaders and Diamond Is Unbreakable self. Disuse of this ability over a long period of time will cause his maximum duration to decrease, potentially as low as half a second. If someone Jotaro cares about is in danger, he will prioritize protecting them over attacking the enemy.

*Star Platinum: Jotaro's Stand, a muscular, violet humanoid close-range Stand with a violent reputation. Rather straightforward for a Stand, Star Platinum's powers focus near entirely around beating down opponents in close quarters with brutal, high-speed barrages of punches and kicks. It is one of the strongest Stands of all, proving itself to be a match for Stands as fast and powerful as Silver Chariot, Crazy Diamond, and even The World, which is the same type of Stand.
**Precision: Star Platinum is incredibly precise, capable of catching a bullet inches away from Jotaro shooting himself as a test and surgically removing DIO's flesh buds from Polnareff and Kakyoin's brains without causing any damage, something that even the world's greatest surgeons couldn't accomplish. It was also able to accurately sketch a photorealistic drawing of a tsetse fly from a small, low-quality photo, as well as catching the Lovers, an incredibly small Stand. Lastly, its eyesight can make out objects from kilometers away as well as catch Daniel J. D'Arby cheating by second dealing.
**Star Finger: Star Platinum stores energy within its index finger before jabbing it forwards, extending it up to two meters. This can be used to catch opponents by surprise and attack other close-range Stands from a safer distance.
*Star Platinum: The World: During Jotaro's dramatic final battle with DIO, he unlocked the ability to move within stopped time, and eventually, to stop time himself. Within his world of frozen time, only Jotaro and Star Platinum can move normally, and they have up to five seconds to do so. Initially, Jotaro could only move for up to three seconds at a time, and, due to disuse, the maximum duration lowered to a measly second, but he eventually raised it back to its peak of five seconds. Unlike DIO, Jotaro is only human, and repetitive use of the ability is extremely taxing on his stamina thus making it a requirement to take some pause between each use.
Note: Star Platinum: The World does not stack damage it does while time is stopped. This has been shown to be false when DIO punched through Kakyoin, when Jotaro broke Kira's hand, when Jotaro and DIO damaged the steamroller and when Jotaro damaged Sheer Heart Attack. All of these times, the damage was dealt to the opponent while time was stopped.
Note 2: During VS Threads, the OP should specify which version of Jotaro is being used in his second key. Even though Stone Ocean and Diamond Is Unbreakable Jotaro are in the same key, their weakness are different.
