Jonathan Joestar

## Introduction

Jonathan is the son of the wealthy businessman George Joestar I and Mary Joestar. He is an honest, kind, and positive man whose life is fraught with tragedy after meeting his adopted older brother - and series antagonist - Dio Brando. In his battle against Dio, Jonathan becomes a Ripple user under the tutelage of his master Will Anthonio Zeppeli.
Jonathan is the biological father of Giorno Giovanna, the protagonist of Vento Aureo, as well as other illegitimate children including Ungalo, Rikiel, and Donatello Versus.

## Character Details

Even prior to learning Ripple, Jonathan was able to hold his own against three thugs, Speedwagon among them, with sheer might and willpower. He was capable of wielding various weaponry held by the suits of armor in the Joestar Mansion. He had also performed incredible feats of strength, such as jumping from the hilt of a sword and hoisting himself up to the second floor while doing a flip over the guardrails, despite his arm being inhibited by a spear pierced into his pectorals. Perhaps his greatest display of strength was after being revitalized and empowered by Zeppeli's Ultimate Deep Pass Overdrive, where he ripped through 3 steel bars clutching his neck, a feat that even the mighty zombie Tarkus outright admitted he was incapable of.

**Powers and Abilities**:
**Superhuman Physical Characteristics**, **Acrobatics** (Should easily be comparable to the likes of a Human Dio and Jonathan, both being extremely athletic being able to jump meters up into the air and do flips as well and even being able to jump into the air all while being seated in the first place ]), **Martial Arts** (Jonathan is a master of Sendo, a martial arts that uses a breathing technique called Hamon), **Statistics** **Amplification** (Using Hamon can significantly increase the strength of Jonathan), **Regeneration** (Mid-Low, Hamon users can heal from having their upper arm bones being completely cracked and can also), **Energy Projection**, **Vibration Manipulation** (Hamon is an energy identical to the Sun's rays. The human body can create this energy through controlled breathing, producing ripples of energy propagating from the bloodstream to the rest of the body and to other objects in contact with it. The Ripple manifests itself as electricity-like sparks, and it can be seen by ordinary humans.), Limited **Surface Scaling** (Hamon Warriors are able to climb up walls if they are coated in a substance that Hamon can conduct through like oil), **Afterimage Creation** (Should easily scale to a Jonathan, that when barraging can move his arms so fast that they start to create multiple afterimages), **Body Puppetry**, **Mind Control** (Hamon can be used to control the bodies of other people, both dead and alive, and animals including pidgeons), **Mind Reading** (Hamon can be used to retrieve memories from the minds of others), **Durability Negation** (The user charges Ripple energy through their arm and releases it into a solid object, such as a wall or partition. The Ripple travels through the object until it reaches the other side, and anything hit by the Ripple is sent flying. If the enemy is an undead being, the Ripple will enter their bloodstream and destroy them from the inside.), **Magnetism Manipulation** (With Life Magnetism Overdrive, Jonathan is able to magnetise leaves together), **Attack Reflection**, **Forcefield Creation** (Hamon can be used to create a thin shield around the user or to use items like hair to form a forcefield to protect them against attacks from attack), **Biological Manipulation**, **Non-Physical Interaction** (Hamon can interact and damage stands which are basically intangible spirits), **Healing** (Hamon was used in the past to heal others of their injuries such as a leg that was so ill that it had to be amputated back to full health and Hamon can heal fractured bones as well as lessen one's sense of pain, allowing Ripple users to use techniques without fear of pain. When Jonatha uses Forced Ripple Breathing on Jonathan, the latter's breathing heals his fractured arm, which normally would have taken another month or two to completely heal. When Jonathan then grabs a tree branch, it revives withered flowers, causing them to bloom again. This ability is used by a certain Ripple user serving as a doctor in India.), Power Bestowal (With Supreme Deep Pass Overdrive, Will can offer up all of his life force to someone, giving them all of his power), Limited **Regeneration Negation** (High-Mid: Hamon can destroy Pillar Men whose regeneration is superior to that of normal vampires, like Straizo, who can easily regenerate from being blown apart by grenades), **Resistance** to **Poison Manipulation** (Should easily be able to do what Jonathan did with Hamon, by rejecting the poison from his body),

**Notable Attacks and Techniques:**

* **Hamon:**

Hamon is an energy used in an ancient form of martial arts known as Sendo (仙道 Sendō, lit. "Way of The Hermit").
Through self-controlled respiration, a person trained in the Ripple technique can produce an energy identical to the energy of the sun, which manifests as ripples throughout their body. This energy can be used in a wide range of techniques, and is fatal to Vampires, Zombies and the Pillar Men.

* **Sendō Wave Kick:**

A Hamon-infused strike with the knee. The Ripple energy tears vampires and zombies apart upon entering the bloodstream.

* **Zoom Punch:**

Jonathan launches his fist forward and strikes his opponent via an elongated arm. The attack involves a Ripple breathing technique that dislocates and stretches his joints to extend his arm and give it greater reach while also using the same Ripple to dull the pain caused by the move. Due to the increased length, the strike immediately reaches the opponent's face first, which from that perspective seems "zoomed in".

* **Hamon Cutter:**

Jonathan spits globs of liquid from between his teeth. The Ripple combined with the liquid makes it sharp and dense enough to cut through solid objects, as well as agile and accurate enough to deflect other projectiles.

* **Sunlight Yellow Overdrive:**

Using the power of sunlight, Jonathan is able to transfer the Ripple through his body into another being, causing burn damage to zombies and vampires alike. A simple, quick jab is enough to blow away a group of zombies and eventually melt them into ashes.
