Joseph Joestar

Joseph Joestar is a main protagonist and later supporting protagonist of the series Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. He is a rather quirky individual who has had the ability to use hamon since he was a child. His first adventure would take him across Europe during the second world war. During this time he would have to face off against three pillar men attempting to find a stone to make themselves invincible. Although one of the pillar men managed to get the stone and become invincible, Joseph was able to launch him into space, ultimately defeating him, at the cost of his friend’s life. At the age of sixty-nine, Joseph would travel the Middle East with his grandson and several other friends in a quest to kill DIO once and for all. Along this journey Joseph served as a guide. This was also the time that Joseph would get his stand, Hermit Purple. He was almost killed by DIO, but was saved by his grandson, Jotaro Kujo. Later on he would find out about his illegitimate child, Josuke Higashkita. He would nearly be killed by the stand user of Chili Pepper, but saved by Josuke and Jotaro.

**Techniques**

* Hamon - Joseph inherited the hamon from his grandfather, Jonathan Joestar. He was able to use the hamon to save speedwagon from some criminals in a plane crash.
* Hamon Overdrive - Joseph uses this technique and several other variations during his journey to kill the pillar men.
* Clacker Volley - In an attempt to outdo his rival, Caesar Zeppeli, Joseph creates a special attack using a pair of American clackers. He fills them with hamon before launching then at his opponent to deal a series of surprisingly powerful blows.
* Clacker Boomerang - A followup move to the last one, using a pair of American clackers, Joseph throws one into a wall behind his opponent, making them think that he missed. However, Joseph then launches the clacker back at his opponent from behind.
* Spirit Vision - Using his stand, Hermit Purple, Joseph is able to create maps of cities, find out important information, and much more using a camera or television.
* Grapple - Using his stand, Hermit Purple, Joseph can grapple onto surfaces and climb up them, swinging Indiana Jones style. He can also grab opponents and then fill his stand with hamon, dealing immense amounts of damage.
* Hamon and Hermit Purple - Using both his stand and hamon, Joseph is able to create a barrier of the vines around his body to protect him. DIO, however, finds a way around this and throws a knife at Joseph’s neck.

**Equipment**

* Tommy Gun - Joseph uses this in his fight against a vampire named Straizo, and although it doesn’t do much against a vampire, it still was a memorable moment.
* Grenades - Joseph also uses these against Straizo, tricking him into blowing himself up.
* Coca-Cola Bottle - Joseph uses this against some police officers that are being rather harsh to his friend Smokey. Joseph is able to launch the cap off like a bullet using hamon.
* Sledgehammer - Used in his fight against the pillar man Wamuu, Joseph slathers the hammer with oil to make hamon move throughout it easier.
* Large Crossbow - Joseph uses a massive crossbow, to difficult to normally move, against his fight against Wamuu. He was able to use the hamon to launch the ball at Wamuu, defeating him,
