Jonathan Joestar

Jonathan "JoJo" Joestar is one of the main protagonists of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. He appeared in the 158th episode of Death Battle, Tanjiro VS Jonathan Joestar, where he fought against Tanjiro Kamado from the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba series.
==History==
Jonathan Joestar was born in Victorian Era England and was once a young, kind-hearted, wealthy boy who sought to become a "true gentleman". However, his life would turn upside-down when he met his new brother, Dio Brando, who was adopted to repay a debt his father mistakenly believed he owed to Dio's father. Dio quickly turned Jonathan's life into a living nightmare, causing him constant misfortune, and he later discovered that Dio was secretly poisoning their father in order to inherit his fortune. After unveiling his brother's wickedness and witnessing his turn to vampirism, Jonathan was approached by Will Anthonio Zeppeli, a man who would train Jonathan in the ways of Hamon, a fighting style which utilizes breathing to create sunlight energy, a vampire's only weakness. Jonathan then trained to become a master of Hamon, swearing to defeat Dio once and for all, no matter how long their rivalry would have to continue.
