Trivia

 * A minor point of controversy is the spelling of Joseph's name. Both in an official profile and on his tombstone during Part 2, his name is spelled "Josef Joestar" in plain English, while in part 3 his name is given as "Joseph". One explanation for this could be that Joseph naturalized his name to appear more American at some point (many immigrants after both World Wars did this in real life).


 * In the 2012 anime, the name on his tombstone was Joseph Joestar despite it being Josef in the manga.
 * His catchphrases are "Oh! NO!" (used in part 2) and "Oh! My! God!" (used often in Part 3). Sometimes, this will alternate with "My God!" or other such variations.
 * A running gag in Part 3 has Joseph lose parts of his prosthetic hands when the enemies attack him, but later he appears with it intact without any explanation. He probably asked the Speedwagon Foundation for a new one each time an enemy cut the one he currently had.


 * He has survived four plane crashes (two in Part II and two in Part III).
 * He shares the same birthday with Part 5's Bruno Buccellati.


 * Joseph has appeared in 3 story arcs, tying with Dio for second place in most appearances, and behind Jotaro who's appeared in 4 story arcs.


 * Joseph's personality and hairstyle may have influenced the detective manga Kindaichi Case Files, as both protagonists incorporate tricks to confuse their enemies.


 * Joseph is the only person to be able to use both hamon and a stand of his own - though he makes little use of his Hamon power after obtaining his stand. Even when he did use his Hamon power, it rarely did him any good, especially when fighting The Empress and Dio, as neither was affected by his Hamon attacks, although the Hamon was able to temporarily shield him from Dio.


 * His younger self is an unlockable character in the Capcom arcade game JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future, being the only character to not be from Part 3. If his younger self is affected by Alessi's stand in the arcade game, he becomes a much younger Joseph from a flashback scene in Part 2, and is seen holding a Superman comic.


 * During the hijacking of Speedwagon's plane, in the manga Joseph is reading a Superman comic. Possibly due to potential licensing issues with DC Comics, in the anime adaptation Joseph is seen reading the manga Baoh, one of Hirohiko Araki's earlier works.
 * It's interesting to note that the first Superman issue came in 1938, the same year Part 2 takes place. So possibly due to a timing mistake, it was changed in the anime.
 * Joseph, out of all the JoJos, had lived the longest life to date (September 27,1920-). With living up to his early 90's he outlived all the others by at least 50 years, especially since the members in the Joestar family are notorious for living very short lives (ex. Jonathan - 20, Jotaro - 40, Jolyne - 19, Johnny - 29).
 * Araki said once that he thinks Joseph is "a little dumber but still alive" when Part 6 takes place.
 * Furthermore, Joseph is the eldest living character in the JoJo universe by part 6, without any Stand power or use of Hamon to increase his longevity.
 * The character Dandy J from the Neo Geo fighting game Waku Waku 7 heavily resembles Joseph's part 3 incarnation, although he uses a whip similar to Indiana Jones.
 * By the end of Stone Ocean Joseph is one of three JoJo's who was not killed prior to Made In Heaven's universal reset. The other two being his son & Giorno, but It is assumed that Pucci indirectly killed them as well.
 * Joseph, Josuke, Jonathan and Giorno, are the only Jojo protagonists to completly lose the battles they faced were in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle League.
