All-Star Battle R ★ Johnny Joestar
Johnny Joestar (ジョニィ・ジョースター, Jonyi Jōsutā) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1] He was featured as 1 of 15 playable characters during the Evo 2022 Demo on August 5.[3]
His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought.
Yuki Kaji reprises his role from the original All-Star Battle, in addition to his new role as Koichi Hirose. For the most part, voice lines for Johnny were reused from the original All-Star Battle. However, some brand-new voice lines were added that weren't in the original game.
Gameplay
Johnny has 950 health and uses the Mounted (騎乗, Kijō) Battle Style, which allows him to freely mount and dismount his horse, Slow Dancer, dynamically changing his moveset in the process. In addition, as a Stand user, Johnny is able to make use of his Stand Tusk both on and off his horse.
As a Steel Ball Run character, three parts of the Saint's Corpse will slowly appear on the ground as Johnny fights. He can pick up these parts to receive progressively better blessings that can boost his performance in combat. If Johnny battles Gyro Zeppeli, Diego Brando, Parallel World Diego, Funny Valentine, or another Johnny, both combatants will have to fight over the same three parts.
This section requires expansion.

Johnny launches off of Slow Dancer and fires a singular powerful nail bullet imbued with the power of the Complete Golden Spin Energy as ACT4 appears. If it lands, the nail bullet will drill into the opponent's torso, before ACT4 flies at and rapidly pummels them. ACT4 finishes by spinning and funneling itself into the hole created by the nail bullet. As its head appears from behind the opponent, the entrance of the Stand into their bodies generates a massive pink burst. Throughout Tusk's assault, Johnny calmly and quietly thanks Gyro.

ON GROUND Johnny's GHA can only be performed while mounted, but will automatically summon Slow Dancer if inputted while unmounted. This GHA can be used when Johnny has Tusk at any ACT, and executing it will evolve it directly to ACT4 regardless if it succeeds or not.
Johnny launches off of Slow Dancer and fires a singular powerful nail bullet imbued with the power of the Complete Golden Spin Energy as ACT4 appears. If it lands, the nail bullet will drill into the opponent's torso, before ACT4 flies at and rapidly pummels them. ACT4 finishes by spinning and funneling itself into the hole created by the nail bullet. As its head appears from behind the opponent, the entrance of the Stand into their bodies generates a massive pink burst. Throughout Tusk's assault, Johnny calmly and quietly thanks Gyro.

ON GROUND If the Style input () is chained from normals while unmounted, 'Quick Mount' is triggered at the cost of Heart Heat, whereby Johnny mounts Slow Dancer much faster, and the act of flipping onto his horse can knock the opponent into the air. This provides an easy and quicker method of mounting as well as transitioning Johnny's unmounted combo into a mounted one.

- When hit by Johnny's Great Heat Attack, "It was such a long, roundabout path...", Valentine attempts to protect himself with D4C Love Train, only for Tusk ACT4 to forcefully rip the dimensional wall open and fly through. A slow-motion close-up of Tusk punching D4C and Valentine in the face is also shown.
- When summoned as an Assist by Gyro Zeppeli, Johnny calls out his ally's name.

Commemorative Giveaway
In commemoration of the release of Parallel World Diego as the 4th paid DLC character for ASBR, the Japanese ASBR Twitter account hosted a giveaway of 20 sets of 3 ASBR Steel Ball Run badges,[6] although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan.[7] The badges in question contained the ASBR render images of Gyro Zeppeli, Parallel World Diego, and Johnny respectively.
The campaign started on June 16, 2023, and lasted until July 2 at 11:59pm JST. To enter the giveaway lottery, users only had to:
- Follow the @jojo_games_jp Twitter account.
- Retweet the tweet that announced the giveaway.
However, Twitter accounts set to private were ineligible for the giveaway. Unfollowing the ASBR Twitter account before the end of the giveaway also deemed users ineligible. Furthermore, attempting to join the giveaway with multiple accounts disqualified all of the associated accounts from the giveaway.[7]
The giveaway was directly implemented by Bandai Namco themselves, with no third-party involvement, and the winners of the giveaway were notified via Twitter DMs. Said winners were announced sometime towards the end of July 2023. The gifts were delivered in mid-August 2023.[7]
