All-Star Battle R/Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)

"Who the hell am I? I can't remember anything... (オレは一体何者なのか…まだ…何も思い出せない…)"

Josuke Higashikata (東方 定助), referred to in the game's localization as "Josuke Higashikata 8", was confirmed to return for during the game's initial announcement trailer.

His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from, with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay tweaks that All-Star Battle R brought.

As Josuke's voice actor since, reprises his role in All-Star Battle R as well. As with the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Josuke were either added or re-recorded.

Gameplay
Josuke has 1000 health and uses the Stand (スタンド) Battle Style, fighting foes with Soft & Wet. As JoJolion was not complete at the time of All-Star Battle's release, and All-Star Battle R did not update his moveset to reflect its completion, Josuke can only use moves from his appearance in the first few chapters of JoJolion.

Dialogue
Outside of, Josuke has unique dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.

All-Star Battle Mode
All missions in starring Josuke as either the Player or Enemy, in order of appearance.

Music
Josuke's theme is Who Am I, Anyways? (じゃあオレは誰なんだ？), and can be unlocked in-game by buying it from the Gallery Shop for 1000 G.

Its name is referencing Josuke asking "Who am I?" in Chapter 1 of Jojolion when Yasuho Hirose first finds him buried in the ground.
