### Status

Deceased

**Johnny Joestar**, born **Jonathan Joestar** is the protagonist of *Steel Ball Run* and an integral part of history in *JoJolion.* He is the seventh protagonist of the series and the sixth to be referred to as JoJo.

A former genius jockey, Johnny, who is now a paraplegic, teams up with Gyro to enter the 1890 Steel Ball Run race. They seek to uncover Spins secrets and win the $50,000,000 cash prize. On their journey, they encounter various Stand abilities and confront U.S. President Funny Valentine, who wants the power of the Saint's Corpse. Johnny loses Gyro in a final battle but eventually avenges his death. He leaves the race to return Gyro's body to Italy.

Johnny met Rina Higashikata after the race, they married, and moved to Morioh, Japan, where they had a son, George Joestar III. Rina fell ill, so Johnny returned to America to obtain the Saint's Corpse to cure her. It worked, but the disease transferred to their son. To save both, Johnny sacrificed himself, using his Stand to transfer the disease. He was later crushed by a miraculous new Stand. He is buried under Twin Pine trees in Morioh, and it's believed his corpse gives Morioh its supernatural properties.

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

## Physical Appearance

Johnny is a slim physically fit young man. He is a paraplegic, and has lame legs. He wears these weird light blue pajama looking clothes with pink star patterns. On his shoulders he has purple hearts. He wears a beanie looking hat with the same color and design as his clothes, and the hat has a horse's head design and a horse shoe facing the front of it. He has longish blonde hair.

In Part 8 he wears a visually similar outfit, this time in white and as a hoodie, and wears a sailor's hat over his original beanie.

## Biography

## Personality Traits

Johnny is kind of a jerk. He seems to be the only JoJo that acts less noble and more in his own self-interest.

Johnny is 19 in Part 7 and 29 in the Part 8 flashbacks.

## Powers and Abilities

### 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.

* **ACT4-** Allows Johnny to shoot Golden Spin fingernail bullets that are imbued with infinite rotation. This infinite rotation can counteract any ability.

## Trivia

* Johnny has a bug bite fetish.
* Johnny's hat can be seen (along with the headwear of several other JoJo characters) in the SbR Shop featured in JoJolion.
* He is referred to as "JoJo" only a few times, in the beginning, and in the Civil War arc there are materials of Johnny's with the name JoJo written on it.
* He is the only protagonist of the series who is never seen with the Joestar birthmark in any media.
	+ In *JoJolion* Chapter 110, Lucy Steel discovers Fumi's relation to the Joestars by seeing his star birthmark, alluding to the fact that she has seen it on Johnny before. Additionally, when she is riding on Fumi's back it reminds her of riding on horseback behind Johnny.
