Yuya Fungami (噴上 裕也, Fungami Yūya) along with Highway Star, was confirmed for All-Star Battle R as the second playable DLC character for the game's Season Pass 2, as well as the sixth paid DLC character overall, on October 6, 2023.[1] He released on October 20, 2023, or October 18, 2023 for season pass owners.[2] He is included in the game's second season pass, and consequently, the Ultimate Edition as well.
In the English version of All-Star Battle R, Yuya's Stand, Highway Star, is localized as "Highway Go Go", carried on from its first official usage in All-Star Battle.[4]
Yuya has 850 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Style, which allows him to freely summon and withdraw his Stand Highway Star, dynamically changing his moveset in the process.
Switches between User Mode and Stand Mode. Yuya can summon or dismiss Highway Star, altering his available abilities.
Drain Nutrients (『養分』を吸う)
Passive
DescriptionReferences
Certain attacks can allow Yuya to drain nutrients from his opponent, siphoning their health and Heart Heat Gauge in small amounts for himself, visualized by wispy motion lines quickly moving from their gauges over to his. Any absorbed health is converted into slowly-regenerating white damage for Yuya, which will disappear if he is damaged.
Moves that drain a set amount of health and Heart Heat include:
"It can appear and disappear freely..."
"Come on, haggle with me a little more."
"Shut up already, you idiot!"
"Now he's got your scent!"
"Give me your nutrients!"
Landing "I've got you!" or "Attack by following their scent!" additionally attaches Highway Star's footprints onto the opponent, continuously siphoning health and Heart Heat as a passive ailment. This effect is only available in User Mode and will be canceled if Yuya is struck, switches to Stand Mode, uses any skill, HHA, or GHA, or connects with his Throw; normal attacks will not cancel the effect.
Rumble Mode (ゴゴゴモード)
Activates below 30% health
This mode is automatically activated once Yuya falls below 30% health. It increases his attack power, as well as the rate at which the Heart Heat Gauge rises, while also decreasing the rate at which the Guard Gauge drops.

ON GROUNDWHEN DOWNED
Yuya summons Highway Star's footprints on the ground where they begin running at high speeds. The footprints will target and hone in on the opponent for an indefinite amount of time, and can even leap up to try and catch them in mid-air. They will remain in pursuit until either successfully striking the opponent, Yuya takes damage, or they make contact with any of the opponent's projectile(s), traps, and other deployed objects. The footprints cannot be blocked, deflected, or reflected, and the attack can strike a downed opponent. However, this skill cannot be Flash-Canceled or chained into Yuya's HHA.
Upon connecting, they will attach to the opponent and gradually Drain Nutrients from them. This effect will be canceled if Yuya is struck, switches to Stand Mode, uses any skill, HHA, or GHA, or connects with his Throw; normal attacks will not cancel the effect. If Yuya switches to Stand Mode or another skill is executed while Highway Star's footprints are active, they will disappear.

DescriptionReferences
Highway Star unleashes a forward barrage of punches, staggering the opponent. The forward distance Highway Star travels and the damage dealt increases in order of , inversely affecting the overall speed of the skill. Although this is a punch rush-style of attack, Yuya cannot actually initiate Rush Mode, and a similar move by other opponents will easily overpower Highway Star.

Highway Star dives into a slide along the ground with its arm outreached, delivering a strike that launches the opponent into the air. The forward distance Highway Star travels, the damage dealt, and how high the opponent is launched increases in order, inversely affecting the skill's start-up speed. This is a low attack that cannot be blocked standing.
Highway Star rises upward while moving forward, then descends in a quick downwards chop, leaving the opponent crumpling and vulnerable to further attack upon connecting. The forward distance Highway Star moves and the damage dealt increases in order, inversely affecting the skill's start-up speed. This is a middle attack that cannot be blocked crouching, as well as a Stand Rush skill that Yuya can disconnect from to freely act while it is executing.
A command Throw. Highway Star moves a distance forward then reaches its arm out in a grab. If it connects, it punches the opponent in the face to spin them around before grabbing them by the head to Drain Nutrients from them, siphoning a significant amount of health and Heart Heat. It then forcefully shoves them away to send them flying. The distance Highway Star flies forward increases in order, inversely affecting the skill's overall speed.
Expending half a stock of the Heart Heat Gauge, Highway Star charges forward a moderate distance in a shoulder tackle. If it connects, the opponent is launched into the air as the Stand breaks apart into footprints and bombards them to absorb their nutrients, while Yuya is free to act. This attack can even strike a downed opponent. Using this skill automatically transitions Yuya into User Mode regardless if it is successful or not, and cannot be Flash-Canceled.
Upon connecting, Highway Star's footprints will attach to the opponent and gradually Drain Nutrients from them. This effect will be canceled if Yuya is struck, switches to Stand Mode, uses any skill, HHA, or GHA, or connects with his Throw; normal attacks will not cancel the effect.
Yuya holds the opponent up by their collar as Highway Star's footprints rapidly kick them to send them flying in the desired direction.

Yuya adjusts his hair as Highway Star breaks apart into a massive swarm of footprints, before it begins moving forward while mercilessly bombarding at a downward angle. The attack knocks the opponent to the ground and sends them flying on the final hit.

DescriptionReferences
Yuya boldly claims his opponent's nutrients and determinedly points as Highway Star splits into its footprint form to fly forward at high speeds, traveling the length of the stage if allowed to do so. If they connect, the opponent will be knocked to the ground as the footprints rapidly pile onto them. Highway Star reforms on top of the opponent, pinning them down and grabbing them by the throat. The Stand gloats about its ability to relentlessly pursue before gleefully and brutally stabbing them in the chest with its other hand to absorb their nutrients. With the opponent drained, Highway Star then returns to Yuya as he walks forward while fixing his hair, and the two confidently strike a pose accompanied by rays of light shining down on them.
This GHA will Drain Nutrients from the opponent, siphoning a significant amount of health and some Heart Heat.
If the attack fails, Yuya briefly panics while touching his chin.
Attack type: High Damage: 316 / 376 / 474 (depending on HH gauge)

Yuya's "I got you" skill is one of four types of projectiles that can hit Risotto Nero when he is invisible, the other three being Muhammad Avdol's "Flaming Detector" skill, Mariah's "Sorry, but you'll have to die now" skill, and all of Narancia Ghirga's projectiles.
When hit by Enrico Pucci's "It's an illusion." skill, Yuya's hand reaches for his lip as his other hand grips something, referencing his pose at the moment Enigma captures him.[6]
Outside of All-Star Battle Mode, Yuya has unique interaction dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters. Notably, new dialogue was only recorded for Leone Abbacchio and Joseph Joestar's counter taunt.

The Stand of Yuya Fungami. A long-ranged type, it learns its target's scent and follows them relentlessly like a bloodhound. If it makes contact with its target, it drains away their nutrients. When tracking, it turns into a series of footprints, and even if the target gets away, it can teleport to its vicinity. When Yuya Fungami gained this Stand, his sense of smell likewise became as sharp as a bloodhound's.
