"ORA ORA ORA ORA!"

- Star Platinum's battle cry

Star Platinum (スタープラチナ（星の白金）) est le Stand de Jotaro Kujo, apparaissant surtout dans la troisième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Stardust Crusaders. Il apparaît aussi dans Diamond is Unbreakable et dans Stone Ocean.

Star Platinum est un Stand humanoïde, caractérisé par sa force, sa vitesse et sa précision exceptionnelles. Pendant le combat contre DIO, il gagne la capacité d'arrêter le temps. Sa puissance écrasante, associée à la nature stoïque de Jotaro, en font l'un des Stands les plus forts de la série.

Apparence
Star Platinum est un Stand humanoïde, ressemblant à un homme grand et bien construit aux proportions similaires à Jotaro, sinon plus musclé. S'il est coloré, sa peau est souvent une teinte entre le violet, le bleu, le vert et certains détails colorés en or. Son visage et son corps ont des couleurs variables.

Il a de longs cheveux flottants avec une teinte plus foncée au-dessus de ses yeux et sur l'arête de son nez, brouillant la distinction entre ses cheveux et sa tête. Les zones sous ses yeux et sur ses joues et son menton sont de couleur plus foncée et clairement séparés de l'espace autour de son nez et de sa bouche. Il porte une mentonnière et un bandeau métallique trois pièces, dont la pièce centrale a la forme d'une ellipse verticale. Au départ, son visage ressemblait à celui de Jotaro.

Une ligne ondulée s'étend de chaque bras à l'avant de son torse, en continuant le long de ses jambes. Il porte peu de vêtements et d'armures : une écharpe courte et circulaire, des épaulettes avec un motif en spirale, des gants longs et cloutés sur le dos de la main, des genouillères et des coudières, un pagne et des bottes courtes (qui montront jusqu'aux genoux dans la Partie 6).

Star Platinum a été conçu pour ressembler à un esprit gardien. Ses épaulettes ressemblent à celles portées dans. Les motifs en spirale symbolisent l'Onde et le concept de l'infini.

In the anime adaptation of Part 4, all of Star Platinum's clothing, such as its red scarf and black gloves, become white, reflecting Jotaro's own transition from black to white apparel. Its darker purple highlights, such as those under its eyes, also become a cyan color.

Personality
Despite not having a consciousness of its own, Jotaro has described Star Platinum as very violent. It is silent, except when it throws punches, during which it cries "ORAORAORA!" loudly and repeatedly. With a relatively human face, it may show hints of emotion by scowling and smilng.

Star Platinum does demonstrate a sense of self-preservation, as seen when it halts a bullet Jotaro experimentally shoots at his own head, protects an incapacitated Jotaro from DIO's attacks during Time Stop, and revives him from near-death by directly pumping his heart (however, considering Star Platinum's pioneering role in the series, this capacity may speak primarily to the metaphysical or subconscious qualities of Stand users).

In the original manga, Star Platinum, early on, is seen with a wide, disconcerting smile. Later on, Star Platinum gains Jotaro's stoic visage, with its future grins only serving to warn the unlucky target of Jotaro's rage that they are about to experience an unimaginable amount of pain.

Star Platinum is named after the 17th Tarot Card,, which symbolizes optimism, discernment, and hope.

Abilities
Star Platinum is a, with a basic reach of only 2 meters from Jotaro's body, but with incredible strength, speed, and precision.

Superhuman Capabilities
It is one of the most powerful Stands featured in the series. Its overwhelming physical prowess in every basic characteristic, save for range, coupled with Jotaro's own cleverness in combat, allows Jotaro to repeatedly prevail against many Stand users even without the usage of any special power. In addition, Jotaro's discovery of its true ability only made it all the more formidable in combat.


 * Super Strength: Star Platinum possesses immense strength, being able to throw a Jeep carrying four men and a girl out of the path of an 18-wheeler with one hand, later pulling the same Jeep out of a canyon with only a car as a counter-weight, and destroy large artificial diamonds within seconds.
 * Super Speed: Star Platinum boasts phenomenal speed. It was able to intercept a bullet fired from point-blank range, briefly contended with Silver Chariot (whilst it was using Anubis), and is stated to exceed the speed of light.
 * Precision: Star Platinum is incredibly precise; it can surgically remove an object embedded in a person's skull without ill effect, catch both a bullet and a minuscule Stand like Lovers between his thumb and forefinger in midair, and create a near photo-realistic drawing of a small Egyptian fly from a dark, blurry photo.
 * Enhanced Eyesight: Star Platinum utilizes eagle-like eyesight throughout Stardust Crusaders. Jotaro has used Star Platinum's eyes to see four kilometers across a desert, as well as identify meaningful details, such as a specific type of fly in high-resolution images. It can also follow a card shuffle performed by a professional gambler, subsequently recounting the entire new order of the deck.
 * Enhanced Breath: Star Platinum inhales with superhuman power, capable of sucking in the entire fog Stand Justice and holding it long enough for its user to suffocate.
 * Ora Ora Rush: Star Platinum's primary method of attack. It throws an extremely fast but precise barrage of powerful punches to pulverize an opponent or destroy objects.
 * Star Finger: Star Platinum can forcibly extend its middle and index fingers to a length of one or two meters, allowing it to perform sneak attacks and stab opponents from afar. The technique's frequency of usage decreased as the battles intensified.

Star Platinum: The World
During the final battle with DIO in Stardust Crusaders, Star Platinum awakens the ability to stop time. The technique is referred to by Jotaro as Star Platinum: The World (スタープラチナ　ザ・ワールド), named after the late antagonist's Stand, The World.

Time Stop
When activated, Star Platinum is able to halt the flow of time for a brief moment, causing everything around him to appear frozen in place. During this time-lapse, Jotaro is able to interact with any object or person within his range. Measures of time during Time Stop correspond to normal measures, as shown by Jotaro's unwilling reduction in the duration of Time Stop affected by Made in Heaven. He is unable to use the ability consecutively, requiring a few seconds in between each usage.

In Jotaro's prime, the ability could last up to 5 seconds, but decreased over time due to lack of combat. Ten years after its initial use, Jotaro is only able to stop time for half a second, but eventually extends it to 1-2 seconds throughout the later half of Diamond is Unbreakable.

In Stone Ocean, particularly during The Visitor story arc, Jotaro is still seemingly only able to stop time for up to two seconds, though the validity of this is questionable, as it was only mentioned within Jolyne's illusion created by Whitesnake's "Melt your heart" ability. During the final battle at Cape Canaveral against Made in Heaven, he is able to stop time for up to 5 seconds.

Star Platinum Over Heaven
In the story mode of the game Eyes of Heaven, Jotaro eventually comes face to face with Heaven Ascension DIO, the game's final boss. As their fight went on, Star Platinum and The World's same-type aspect came into play once more, enabling Star Platinum to learn The World Over Heaven's signature ability: Overwrite Reality.

This grants Star Platinum the same potentially limitless ability to rewrite time and reality itself, the only true limitation being that it requires the use of its hands to do so. Despite these changes, Star Platinum does not gain an appearance change, unlike The World Over Heaven.

As a result of its powers, all of the temporal anomalies disappeared after the death of Heaven Ascension DIO. The world reverted back to normal and Jotaro lost Star Platinum Over Heaven.
