"Guess I did it again! (またまたやらせていただきましたァン！)"

Joseph Joestar (ジョセフ・ジョースター) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer. He was also 1 of 15 playable characters during the 2022 Demo in August 5.

Although his moveset remains fundamentally the same as his from, a few tweaks have been made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay changes that All-Star Battle R brought.

As Young Joseph's one and only voice actor, debuting in the Battle Tendency anime and later voicing Joseph again in, Tomokazu Sugita reprises his role in this game. As with the majority of the game's roster, Joseph's voicelines were either added or re-recorded.

Commemorative Giveaway
In commemoration of the release of Stroheim as the 2nd paid DLC character for ASBR, the Japanese ASBR Twitter account hosted a giveaway of 20 sets of 3 ASBR Battle Tendency badges, although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan. The badges in question contain the ASBR render images of, , and Joseph respectively.

The campaign started on February 3, 2023, and lasted until February 19 at 11:59pm JST. To enter the giveaway lottery, users only had to:

 * 2) Retweet the tweet that announced the giveaway in the first place.

However, Twitter accounts set to private were illegible for the giveaway. Unfollowing the ASBR Twitter account before the end of the giveaway also deemed users illegible. Furthermore, attempting to join the giveaway with multiple accounts would have caused all of those accounts to lose their eligiblity to win.

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 are planned to be announced sometime in early March, 2023.
