- O bordão de Jotaro

Jotaro Kujo (空条 承太郎) é o protagonista da terceira parte de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, , e o terceiro  da série. Ele também aparece como um aliado em ' e ', e uma breve aparição em . Como resultado de todas suas aparições, Jotaro é o JoJo protagonista mais recorrente em toda a série.

Jotaro é um delinquente (番長) mestiço (metade-japonês) que vive uma vida comum até que o antigo nêmesis da, , retorna. Ao ver sua mãe ficar doente por causa do despertar de DIO, Jotaro embarca em uma jornada pelo mundo junto ao seu avô,, e um grupo de amigos para salvar sua mãe e derrotar o  de uma vez por todas.

Sendo o portador do todo-poderoso, Jotaro é o primeiro JoJo introduzido com um , e está entre um dos mais bem-conhecidos personagens da série. Ele é o ex-marido de uma mulher estadunidense e o pai de, a protagonista de 

Aparência
Jotaro é canônicamente estabelecido como tendo 195 cm de altura e sendo musculoso, que é muitas vezes descrito por outros personagens como atraente. Ele tem cabelo escuro que constantemente se mistura com seu cabelo, uma mandíbula forte, sobrancelhas grossas, e olhos verdes. Quando jovem, ele possuía certa semelhança com seu trisavô,, e com seu avô,.

Partes superficiais das vestimentas de Jotaro mudam em cada parte de JoJo em que ele aparece. Os elementos mais reconhecíveis de seu design são, um boné ornamentado com visor, cortado na parte de trás e se fundindo com seu cabelo, e um sobretudo que se estende até a metade de sua panturrilha, com uma gola mandarim e correntes grudadas na vestimenta. Suas vestes foram influênciadas pelo um mangá famoso de um menino em uniforme escolar tendo uma aventura no deserto.

Jotaro veste um do tamanho de um sobretudo, com uma borda alta e rígida, perfurada na esquerda com uma corrente dourada. Por baixo, ele veste uma camisa regata, e um par de calças justas com barras originais curtas e afiadas, segurada por dois cintos finos, muitas vezes coloridos, estampados em uma sequência de triângulos coloridos (refletindo a bandana de Joseph/). Ele também veste um par de sapatos de couro (presumidamente) sem meias.

O boné icônico do Jotaro é adornado com um botão dourado perto do centro, e na sua esquerda, um retângulo dourado com o design de uma mão. Ele é cortado atrás, e se misturando com seu cabelo. Enquanto eles são primeiramente mostrados como sendo completamente separados mas meio cortado, publicações posteriores causam mais incerteza sobre onde seu boné e seu cabelo se encontram. De acordo com o Araki em uma entrevista, ele queria que leitores reconhecessem o Jotaro mesmo de costas, e não só de frente.

As roupas de Jotaro passam por uma grande mudança entre a de Stardust Crusaders, em adição a própria roupa também passa por várias transições durante Diamond is Unbreakable. Cada uma possui sua combinação famosa de um boné e um sobretudo. Ele veste calças largas, e seu chapéu, casaco e calças são tipicamente retratados como sendo brancos.

Na sua primeira roupa, ele veste um sobretudo com as bordas enroladas para trás e mangas com o mesmo padrão xadrez de seus cintos. Por baixo do casaco é um tipo de macacão sobre uma camisa com colarinho alto; uma alça com fivela passa pelo seu peito. Seu chapéu tem um emblema metálico de "J" junto do emblema de palma que ele já possuia, porém agora dentro de um coração.

Na sua segunda rupa, usada pela primeira vez durante o arco, possui um estilo parecido com seu uniforme escolar com a borda de seu casaco para cima e uma camisa justa. Os emblemas de seu chapéu são trocados por um golfinho e um sol, enquanto seu sobretudo possui um emblema metálico de dois golfinhos formando um coração no ombro direito e um com o símbolo de uma palma na esquerda.

Sua roupa final tem um casaco de estilo similar ao de sua segunda roupa, mas com as mangas xadrez que estavam presentes na primeira. Por baixo, Jotaro veste um pequeno colete aberto sem lapelas com o padrão de círculos alternativos e cruzes sobre uma camisa de gola alta com o emblema de palma no pescoço. Seu chapéu tem uma linha de símbolos de Vênus pretos (♀) com uma flecha na parte de baixo da cruz, fazendo com eles pareçam âncoras, junto de outro símbolo de palma. Seus dois cintos não possuem mais um padrão, o cinto de baixo tem uma pequena bolsa grudada nele.

Jotaro mantem seu chapéu clássico na mesma cor clara porém agora com um corte notavelmente maior na parte de trás de seu chapéu, resultando em uma mistura ainda mais anormal entre seu cabelo e boné. Um pingente circular com o símbolo icônico de uma mão frequentemente mostrado no seu chapéu é visto grudado a uma linha que aparentemente é envolvido em volta do boné, vem de dentro dele e acaba nas bordas metálicas de sua aba.

Seu sobretudo claro aparece muito mais justo com suas bordas longas adornadas com símbolos metálicos de "J". Ele tem aberturas diagonais nos lados e apenas os botões de cima estão abotoados. De baixo do sobretudo de Jotaro é uma camisa de gola alta com outro símbolo de mão em seu pescoço. A camisa mostra duas linhas claras cruzando uma com a outra e suas mangas são enroladas. Os dois cintos vibrantes de jotaro são vestidos corretamente, as pernas de suas calças são longas, aparecendo meio empurrada acima de seus sapatos.

Jotaro novamente veste um sobretudo escuro; dessa vez com mais detalhes. Linhas saem do topo e a base das bordas; se juntando na altura da abertura do casaco. Essa superfície de suas bordas possui dois borches de estrela, com um na parte de dentro, junto com uma pequena corrente grudada na esquerda. Duas linhas atravessam o topo de seus ombros, com duas ou mais radiando das bordas até os lados. Dois zíperes se encontram entre o peito e o estômago. Os lados de seus ombros possuem estrelas grandes, começando uma linha clara indo até suas mangas (que também possuem uma estrela) onde está escrito "JOJO", repetidamente. Uma linha atravessa a axila até o final do casaco.

Ele veste uma camisa clara, com a estampa de uma estrela grande. Seus sapatos e calças possuem a textura da pele de uma cobra. Ele veste um único cinto de couro, cravejadas em duas linhas, enrolada em si mesma antes da fivela.

O boné rasgado de Jotaro, também é novamente escuro. A aba é redonda, com um arco fino. Uma barra dourada clara em sua articulação mantem o emblema dourado de palma igual o seu original. Duas linhas atravessam o topo da aba, enquanto uma estrela alargada atravessa toda a frente do topo do chapéu, seu ponto mais alto indo até o topo.

Stardust Crusaders
"Eu encho as pessoas de porrada mais do que eu preciso, alguns ainda estão no hospital. Tem vários professores com quem eu não fui com a cara e nunca mais voltaram pra escola. E eu faço questão de não pagar restaurantes caso eu não goste da comida. Mas até um cara como eu pode perceber o mal verdadeiro quando ele o vê..."

- Jotaro para ,

Jotaro é introduzido como um delinquente grosso e violento, mas ele possui um coração bondoso e é leal a aqueles que ele gosta. Ele é altamente perceptivo, inteligente e sagaz enquanto tendo uma atitude perpetualmente tranquila, meio neutra ou desinteressada.

Jotaro's most noticeable trait is his seemingly aloof nature. He is a quiet individual, often satisfied with expressing himself in short phrases. His bio explains that he thinks anyone can tell his emotions just by looking at him, and probably thinks further effort in portraying how he feels to be a waste of time, making others tend to perceive Jotaro as callous. Related to this, Jotaro is an extremely cool individual, able to keep his composure in even the direst situations. The best example of his coolness would be against Daniel J. D'Arby, playing a dangerous game of poker during which he successfully bluffs the expert poker player into folding even if he didn't know what cards he had and wagered the souls of every companion and ally involved. While he was shown to be mildly anxious when something unanticipated happens, Jotaro almost never goes as far as to lose his composure. Jotaro is both fierce and gentle, showing these traits in various scenes, from the fight with N'Doul to the encounter with the D'Arbys. One shining example is how he spared Noriaki Kakyoin instead of killing him outright, even putting his own life on the line just to save the young man from DIO's deadly slavery. Despite refusing to show it explicitly, Jotaro loves his mother and respects his grandfather Joseph. Jotaro's impetus for going to Egypt is Holy's life being put in danger by DIO's Stand, and he flew into an uncharacteristic rage when the vampire desecrated the corpse of his grandfather, before apologizing to Joseph's spirit (who had previously warned Jotaro not to succumb to anger). During his journey to Egypt, Jotaro attached himself to his companions, and through several small gestures expressed his friendship towards them, culminating with a hug with a departing Polnareff. Signs of him loosening up were also shown where he occasionally (but not often) smiles, such as when the group made fun of ZZ, and at one point he even laughs alongside Kakyoin and Polnareff upon discovering the Sun's weakness. Jotaro also has a soft spot for children and is noticeably more tolerant and protective toward them. When Anne accompanies them on his journey, he never yells at her and even protects her from enemy Stand Users, and also watches over her in a similar fashion to an older brother despite being visibly annoyed by her antics. When he takes an ice pop from a young boy, he tells the boy that he will buy him a new one.

Jotaro hates people who hurt women or children in a fight, even if the woman or child in question is evil, and will be especially violent toward them; one example of this is his beating of Steely Dan, which was partially motivated by Steely Dan killing Enya the Hag, and trying to use a little girl as a hostage when he was nearly defeated. In the OVA series, Jotaro grew more furious at DIO when he brutally slaughtered several innocent civilians inside a wrecked transit during their battle. However, Jotaro doesn't show mercy to evil women and will if need be severely beat them, such as when Midler attacked it and he busted her teeth through her Stand. Furthermore, nagging girls chasing him (both at his school and throughout his journey) annoy Jotaro, who ignores or rudely drives them away, particularly when they begin to fuss or bicker.

Moreover, Jotaro is blunt and foul-mouthed, having no problem being insolent towards his mother or any other authority figure. The teenager favors witty one-liners, often ridiculing whoever is the target of his quips and offering absurd reasons for his feats. For instance, he took the time to tell DIO the reason he lost was that the vampire "pissed him off". Whether Jotaro does take himself seriously or is just having fun when using his one-liners is left unanswered. Nonetheless, Jotaro has shown a modicum of respect to the occasional enemy Stand User, praising N'Doul for having been formidable enough to manage to knock his hat off his head and commit suicide to help DIO, then listening to his speech about his devotion and finally burying his corpse in the desert. Moreover, he noted how Daniel J. D'Arby was dangerous and compared him favorably to Telence, stating that Daniel would have spotted an obvious ploy which tricked Telence.

Jotaro is interested in a large range of subjects, such as sumo or the TV series Columbo, from which he claims to have acquired his deductive skills. Several hobbies indicate that he has an intellectual side, which would result in him becoming a marine biologist by part 4. Ironically, Jotaro is one of the few who can appreciate Calcutta's atmosphere, which shocks Joseph.

Jotaro also has a quirky, particular fashion taste and attachment to his clothes, from refusing to cut off parts of his pants when the school nurse asked him to, to buying clothes to replace the ones that were destroyed after his fight with ZZ with exact replicas as pointed out by Joseph. When he first trades blows with DIO, he specifically points out how the fight tore a hole in his apparently very expensive pants. He also has an attachment to his hat.

Jotaro has a habit of muttering "Gimme a break..." (やれやれだぜ) to himself to express annoyance toward the ordeals and other events that happen close to him, to the point it has become his signature catchphrase.

Diamond is Unbreakable
In Diamond is Unbreakable, Jotaro becomes the leader and mentor of Part 4's Joestar Group, as well as a person they could rally behind. Koichi and Josuke comment that his company is calming to them, with respect to the consistent threat exerted by emerging Stand users. Having matured, Jotaro isn't as foul-mouthed as he was, although he is still blunt and retains his annoyance towards girls making a fuss.

Although his aloofness is still present, it has diminished somewhat over the years; meeting Tomoko Higashikata whilst looking for Josuke shortly after her father is killed by Anjuro, he tolerates her sudden clinginess when she mistakes him for Joseph, and offers some consolation for her father's death. He also admits to Koichi that he was glad to meet him, albeit privately.

Stone Ocean
In Stone Ocean, Jotaro displays his typical serious attitude, but this is also paired with a passionate paternal protectiveness for his daughter Jolyne, although his past neglect has worsened their relationship. Another instance of his diminished stoic attitude, he tells his daughter that he loves and cherishes her, which would motivate Jolyne throughout their adventure.

After he is "revived", Anasui, one of Jolyne's companions who is enthralled by her, asks Jotaro to approve his proposal to marry. Reacting first as though he spoke meaninglessly when Jotaro sees Jolyne lean against Anasui's chest, he pulls her into his arms, protectively; leaving Jolyne clueless as to their interaction.

During the final fight against Pucci, Jotaro's love for his family got the best of him, and he made the mistake of trying to both save Jolyne and kill Pucci, succeeding in neither and resulting in his tragic death.

Star Platinum
Um dos Stands mais fortes da série, Star Platinum possui sentidos, força, precisão, e velocidade sobre-humanas. Assim como outros Stands fisicamente poderosos (ou de Curto-Alcance), Star Platinum sofre de um alcance muito estreito; ativo apenas em um raio de 2-3 metros de Jotaro.

Ele é do mesmo tipo de Stand que o The World de DIO, e, também pode parar o tempo, uma habilidade revelada no final de sua luta com DIO.

A carta de Tarô "A Estrela", cujo nome é homenageado no Stand, simboliza a esperança, acima de tudo.

Star Platinum: The World
During the final battle with DIO, Star Platinum awakens the ability to stop time.

This is the highest form to which Jotaro is shown to develop his Stand. Star Platinum: The World can stop time for as long as 5 seconds. It's duration seems to fluctuate on how constantly Jotaro uses the ability.

Aperfeiçoamento
Jotaro's natural battle sense and flexible thinking makes him extremely proficient at using his Stand, which is facilitated by how powerful it is in the first place. At its most basic usage, Star Platinum will punch through almost any obstacle Jotaro encounters, but he can also be very imaginative when applying its physical prowess, such as stretching Star Platinum's limbs for extra range or using its lungs to neutralize Justice. Jotaro frequently exploits his Stand's superhuman attributes to augment his own capabilities. He is able to use Star Platinum's enhanced eyesight to see far-away objects himself and, much like other Stand Users, can block attacks aimed at him with his Stand. Jotaro will often defend himself by channeling Star Platinum from inside his body, which also allows him to use its enhanced strength to launch himself into the air. This jumping technique is introduced during the fight with N'Doul, and utilized throughout Jotaro's final face-off with DIO.

Due to its short duration, Jotaro only stops time with parsimony. He mainly uses it for defense, utilizing the extra time to defend an ally or avoid attacks, and has only occasionally used time stop for offense.

Habilidades Pessoais

 * Inteligência: Jotaro is an adept tactician, using a mix of straightforward brute force and unexpected tricks to prevail. Thanks to Star Platinum's tremendous strength, Jotaro can either force his way out of any tough situation or use unexpected feats of strength such as tunneling his way toward an enemy or using his lung capacity to neutralize a fog Stand. Jotaro has occasionally used the environment to his advantage, filling his clothes with thick books when expecting DIO to use projectiles against him, or taking full advantage of The Fool's glider to approach N'Doul.

The years have only increased his wits, and in Part 4 and 6, Jotaro demonstrates a methodical and vigilant sense of observation, watching his environment to anticipate the enemy's moves and attacks, and having a good grasp of the general mechanics of Stands to better identify a Stand's weaknesses.

Jotaro is notably good at psychological warfare and using calm judgment in dire situations. He is an accomplished bluffer, capable of using his adversary's own vigilance against the formidable Star Platinum to psych them out, demonstrated when he forced D'Arby to fold in a game of poker he had all but won or tricked DIO into underestimating Star Platinum's ability to move in the stopped time. He also provoked Forever into entering the range of Star Platinum to defeat him.


 * Conhecimento: It is implied that Jotaro has accumulated a considerable amount of varied knowledge. At the beginning of Part 3, in his cell, in order to understand his Stand, he had collected a number of books on the theme of the paranormal. In Part 4, it is revealed that he specialized in ; and he briefs Josuke skillfully for the task of hunting two Stand-wielding rats.


 * Força: While not nearing the levels of superhuman strength possessed by his Stand, Jotaro himself is still notably strong, and has been for a long time; even when de-aged by Sethan, he was able to deliver a painful punch against a full-grown man.


 * Dureza: Jotaro is naturally confident and intolerant to suggestions that he should defer in any way, backed up by his own strength as well as that of his Stand.


 * Truque com Cigarro: Jotaro is supposedly able to hold up to five lit cigarettes in his mouth, lit side inwards, and drink juice without putting them out. Oingo failed to replicate this technique. However, this trick could be false.


 * Blefes: During both the Telence T. D'Arby and Daniel J. D'Arby arcs, Jotaro won through an impressive ability to bluff, as seen by his refusal to look at his cards when playing poker with D'Arby the Elder, and having the confidence to rely on Joseph Joestar to pick up on his signal by announcing his pitch against D'Arby the Younger.

Técnica Secreta
A "Técnica Secreta" da família Joestar, fugir, é normalmente utilizada como um último recurso. Ela é usada por Jotaro na série durante sua luta contra Rubber Soul.

Relacionamentos
Jotaro's relationship with people is usually straight forward, due to his type of personality. He usually tends to keep his emotions to himself, as he believes people can read his emotions simply by observing him. Simply put, if anyone hasn't made him angry, he is usually satisfied with those around him.

Família

 * Jolyne Cujoh: A única filha de Jotaro. Jotaro, devido a suas várias excursões, foi um pai ausente por maior parte da infância de Jolyne e também pela sua adolescência. Assim, ela passou a such, she grew to resent him though at times also craving his attention. His divorce only made matters worse, Jolyne practically disowning him and refusing to mention him until he visited her in prison. Jotaro, however, greatly cherished Jolyne, taking her safety above all else during Stone Ocean and being fully aware of his failures as a father. Eventualmente eles começaram a consertar o seu relacionamento, Jolyne finalmente entendendo porquê Jotaro esteve ausente constantemente e o porquê dele lutava.


 * Joseph Joestar: Jotaro doesn't usually share his grandfather's humor, and the two have very different personalities. Despite their differences, they seem to get along fairly well, and can share a laugh or two once in a while, and they were able to bond much more during their travel to Egypt in order to save Holy. When Joseph was infected by Steely Dan's Lovers, Jotaro allowed himself to be humiliated to protect Joseph from Steely Dan and repaid his enemy a thousandfold. They were able to work well together against Telence D'Arby purely through shared familial intuition, and when DIO desecrated Joseph's corpse, Jotaro was enraged enough to attack DIO head on despite knowing the serious risk. While he was annoyed about Joseph's affair with Josuke's mother, he still cared for his grandfather especially in his advanced age and decided to protect Josuke's mother in place of Joseph, showing his respect for Joseph's feelings. He also showed a rare smile when he saw Josuke and Joseph getting along.


 * Suzi Q: Although they've never communicated in the manga, the anime included a scene of Jotaro talking to his grandmother on the phone. He respects her and assures her that there's nothing to worry about when Joseph couldn't talk to her. Suzi states that she was really happy to hear her grandson's voice after so long. She's heard that Jotaro became wild lately but she knows deep down that he's a sweet child who truly cares for his family.


 * Josuke Higashikata: The two have a mentor-protégé relationship. Although Josuke is younger than him, Jotaro is his nephew. When they first met, Josuke had assaulted Jotaro for mentioning his hair in a negative tone (despite Jotaro not intending to insult Josuke), but as the series progressed, the two became allies and have helped each other out a number of times against the various enemy Stands appearing in Morioh. Jotaro respects Josuke's ability and gentleness while being annoyed by his temper, and fully trusted him during their fight against Bug-Eaten.


 * Sadao Kujo: As a famous jazz musician, Sadao left his family to go on tour, and has never actually been seen in the series. It is unknown as to how long he has been gone, but there hasn't been any indication that Jotaro holds a grudge against him for this.


 * Holy Kujo: Hollyjotaro.png As Jotaro's mother, Jotaro greatly cares for her. In his childhood, Jotaro loved to play ball with her, but at his current age, his attitude has changed up to a point where he rebukes her affection, calls her annoying, and casually insults her. Regardless, the two take care of each other, and Holy is unfazed by Jotaro's rough exterior as she knows his true feelings. When she had fallen ill due to her Stand taking over her body, Jotaro had asked Joseph what they had to do to cure her. It was because of his concern for his mother's life that he set off to Egypt to fight DIO.


 * Giorno Giovanna: While they have never formally met, Jotaro investigated Giorno due to his connections to both DIO and the Joestar family. Having found out Giorno's relation with DIO, Jotaro avoided meeting him in person, and trusted Koichi to judge him in his stead.

Amigos



 * Muhammad Avdol: His first initial meeting with Avdol was not very friendly, but after Jotaro begins to truly understand Star Platinum and Stands, they quickly become allies. During the journey Avdol takes the role of the mentor, providing the rest of the group information on enemies such as Gray Fly, Devo the Cursed, and Midler. Jotaro would later mourn his death with Polnareff and Joseph.


 * Noriaki Kakyoin: Like with Avdol, Jotaro's relationship with Kakyoin begins with a fight. After defeating him, Jotaro takes Kakyoin to his house to remove DIO's flesh bud and release him from DIO's control. Jotaro and Kakyoin later develop a strong friendship, discovering a mutual interest in sumo, and Kakyoin being one of the few people Jotaro smiles at. Kakyoin sacrificed his life to give Jotaro an advantage against Dio and Jotaro mourns his death along with Joseph and Polnareff. In the JOJONIUM special interviews, Araki comments that without their power, Jotaro and Kakyoin probably wouldn't have become friends.


 * Jean Pierre Polnareff: After joining the group during their journey to Egypt, Polnareff gradually becomes good friends with everyone. Jotaro becomes friendlier with Polnareff, having no problem teaming up with him, and displaying his friendship openly with him. Jotaro also respects Polnareff as a fighter, commenting that his Silver Chariot Star Platinum can hold back against when Anubis possesses Polnareff. At the end of part 3, Joseph and Polnareff along with Jotaro mourn for the loss of their friends. Before going their separate ways, the group embraces one last time; promising to meet each other again sometime in the future. Jotaro's only comment to Polnareff was a friendly insult, mentioning that he'd never be able to forget his ugly face.
 * Anne: Jotaro treated the runaway girl as a burden and annoyance, but kept protecting her from enemies such as fake Captain Tennile and Forever. Anne had a crush on Jotaro because he was handsome.


 * Iggy: Jotaro meets Iggy prior the fight with N'Doul, but their relationship begins badly as Iggy is uncooperative in the fight and Jotaro throws him into N'Doul. As revenge, Iggy pranks Jotaro. Iggy, although not vocal about it, is a very prideful stand user, even believing that The Fool is stronger than Star Platinum. After the battle with DIO, Jotaro and Joseph acknowledge his death, alongside the other fallen crusaders.


 * Koichi Hirose: After witnessing Koichi's bravery during the events in Morioh, particularly fighting Kira's Sheer Heart Attack while Jotaro was unconscious, he has come to respect and trust him a lot. This bond later influences Jotaro to choose him to investigate Giorno Giovanna for his bloodline link with both the Joestars and DIO.
 * Okuyasu Nijimura: Although the two had little interaction, Okuyasu seems to see Jotaro as a mentor figure. However, he does ignore Jotaro's advice and goes after Red Hot Chili Pepper on his own. Jotaro is exasperated by his temper and lack of intelligence but sees him as an ally nonetheless.
 * Rohan Kishibe: Jotaro and Rohan are allies in the battle against Yoshikage Kira. Rohan states that the two aren't close but they seem to have mutual respect for each other, as Rohan has Jotaro's phone number in his phonebook. Rohan also tries heading to Morioh Grand Hotel thinking Jotaro could help him deal with Cheap Trick.

Inimigos



 * DIO: Before their meeting, but having heard of each other, DIO and Jotaro were enemies. While DIO simply thought of Jotaro as a powerful Stand user, Jotaro didn't think much of the former but was at least intrigued that he was charismatic enough to gain the loyalty of other powerful Stand users like N'Doul. During their clash, DIO viewed Jotaro as much of a threat as Jonathan was, if not more, going to extremes to outwit and ensure his death. While Jonathan was an opponent DIO respected, Jotaro was an opponent DIO feared because Jotaro could move in the stopped time. After DIO had apparently killed his grandfather, Joseph, right in front of him, Jotaro's hatred for DIO intensified to where, for the first time, Jotaro was visibly enraged and acted on anger. After a short but grueling fight with the Vampire, Jotaro finally managed to outwit and kill DIO. His battle with him affected Jotaro so much, he nearly attacked the fully revived Joseph when he jokingly claimed to be DIO possessing his body.


 * Enrico Pucci: Pucci harbored a grudge against Jotaro for having killed DIO. However, Jotaro was unaware of Pucci's existence until the end of Stone Ocean. Pucci took his revenge by stealing both Jotaro's memories and Stand to let his lifeless corpse rot away, but nonetheless knew he was a dangerous Stand user, thus took every precaution against him. Pucci ultimately killed Jotaro in Florida.


 * Yoshikage Kira: The first time Jotaro would encounter Kira was near the Centipede shoe shop after Jotaro was heavily wounded by Sheer Heart Attack. Kira underestimated Jotaro due to the poor state he was in, only to get pummeled by Star Platinum for his trouble. Kira noted how dangerous Jotaro was and took the care to avoid confronting him again.


 * Daniel J. D'Arby: Daniel J. D'Arby's combination of skill in gambling and Stand power managed to impress Jotaro, even making him nervous at points. Jotaro went as far as saying that D'Arby was the most dangerous Stand user they've met yet. Through a combination of intimidation and sheer luck, Jotaro managed to bluff D'Arby and send him into shock. After meeting Daniel's brother Telence, Jotaro would acknowledge Daniel as the superior gambler, stating that Daniel would have seen through the trick he used against Telence.


 * N'Doul: While the two were enemies, Jotaro grew to respect N'Doul as a fighter during their fight, noting that N'Doul managed to knock away his hat, an impressive feat according to Jotaro. Jotaro was impressed by N'Doul's loyalty to DIO and buried him out of respect when he died.


 * Steely Dan: Because Steely Dan killed Enya, an old albeit powerful woman in cold blood, and then used his temporary position of power to continuously humiliate Jotaro, the latter developed a great grudge toward Steely Dan. When Steely Dan took a child hostage, Jotaro, not only content from breaking his limbs, delivered a particularly brutal pummeling as revenge.


 * Anubis: Jotaro comments that Anubis, a Stand relying on a simple powerful ability, notably a speed that rivaled that of Star Platinum, instead of a trick made it particularly dangerous. Anubis attempted to kill Jotaro several times with several host bodies including Polnareff. Jotaro smashed Anubis in half. Anubis possessed a child and attempted to stab Jotaro before Iggy tripped him.


 * Enya: Jotaro was one of Enya's primary targets as he was one of the most powerful Stand users opposing her master DIO, yet she was wary of Jotaro's power and intellect. For his part, Jotaro didn't think much of Enya. Jotaro was still shocked when he saw Enya dying on DIO's order yet still remaining loyal.


 * Anjuro Katagiri: Due to his attempted murder of Josuke's mother and successful murder of his grandfather, Anjuro was an enemy of Jotaro's. Anjuro, being a notoriously brutal murderer and recent Stand user, disgusted Jotaro and was one of the reasons Jotaro personally went to Morioh to stop him.
 * Akira Otoishi: Because Jotaro was investigating Stand Users, Otoishi saw him as a threat and tried to kill him. When Josuke got in his way, Otoishi decided to kill Joseph instead, only to be stopped by Okuyasu. When Otoishi is arrested, Jotaro threatens to hunt him down if he escapes from prison. Jotaro would later interrogate Otoishi, who would reveal he shot a rat with the Arrow (but hid that he shot 2 rats, Bug-Eaten and Not Bug-Eaten).


 * Johngalli A.: Johngalli A. bore a grudge against Jotaro for having killed DIO. While there is little interaction between the two, the fact he framed Jolyne for murder and attempted to kill her and him made them enemies.
