{{Quote|{{nihongo|Gimme a break...|やれやれだわ|Yare Yare Dawa}}|Jolyne Cujoh}}<br />
{{Nihongo|'''Jolyne Cujoh'''|空条 徐倫|Kūjō Jorīn}} is the protagonist of the sixth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Stone Ocean]],'' and the sixth [[JoJo]] of the series. She is the daughter of an {{UN|Jolyne's Mother|American woman}} and [[Jotaro Kujo]], the protagonist of ''[[Stardust Crusaders]]''.<br />
<br />
<!--T:2--><br />
Framed for a {{W|Driving under the influence|DUI}} murder, Jolyne is sent to [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]], where she investigates and battles [[Dio Brando|DIO]]'s most trusted disciple, Father [[Enrico Pucci]]. Initially an ordinary girl, Jolyne quickly awakens her string-based [[Stand]], [[Stone Free]], during her time in jail.<br />
<br />
==Appearance== <!--T:3--><br />
[[File:Jolyne Vol 4 Transparent.png|frameless|left|150px]]<br />
Jolyne is a young woman of above-average height and a slim to athletic build.<br />
<br />
<!--T:4--><br />
Bold-eyed, she wears her hair in two "layers": A dark base including two large buns atop her head and a short length going down her neck; above which, lightly dyed or bleached, she keeps a plait or braid that winds around both buns, joining in a short length at back, and bangs that frame her face.<br />
<br />
<!--T:5--><br />
Like all other members of the Joestar family, Jolyne has a small [[Joestar Birthmark|star-shaped birthmark]] on the rear of her left shoulder, close to her neck; and has tattooed on top of her left forearm the image of butterfly wings superimposed with a downward-pointing dagger, which also appears on the chest of her outfits.<br />
<br />
<!--T:6--><br />
Jolyne's depiction in ''Part 6'' transitions slightly from a slimmer and smoother to a more dynamic and athletic build. Simultaneously, she works through a number of primarily dark outfits, characterized by a spiderweb-like print.<br />
<br />
<!--T:7--><br />
*'''Look 1:''' A short skirt, shin-high boots and a halter top that exposes her midriff, with 2 lengths of cloth on each side attaching it to her skirt in a manner similar to suspenders. She wears a small piece on her chest repeating the design of her tattoo.<br />
*'''Look 2:''' Similar to Look 1, except it has pants with boots attached and a prison jacket. The jacket is short, covering her lower back to hip area. Worn during her first week in prison. The image in the Infobox is this outfit.<br />
<br />
<!--T:8--><br />
*'''Look 3:''' Look 2 with a longer, slightly darker jacket (matching Jotaro's coat's length). After the events in [[Whitesnake - The Pursuer]], she adopts a star-shaped navel piercing.<br />
<br />
<!--T:9--><br />
*'''Look 4:''' After escaping prison. Shredded muscle shirt that resembles her former halter top. On her chest, she now wears a large, heart-shaped piece superimposed with the image of her tattoo. She wears two mini-belts over the rib area (one belt by the end). A cloth armlet adorns one forearm, and she retains her navel ring. She wears a different belt around her waist with a long cape attached to the back.<br />

<br />
===[[Jolyne, Fly High with GUCCI]]=== <!--T:11--><br />
In the one-shot, Jolyne makes an appearance with a number of different outfits. She mainly wears a white linen peacoat with an elaborate flower motif with a matching scarf. Underneath the jacket, Jolyne wears a dress which also changes for no reason, the first version being black with the same flower motif, the second being a white gown.<br />
<br />
<!--T:12--><br />
Jolyne also wears in order: a three-piece pink suit with spiked platform sandals and an elaborate necklace, a simple yellow dress with elaborate flower and fruit decorations on the shoulder area, and a brown dress with a matching leather belt.<br />
<br />
In the one-shot, Jolyne's hair is consistently portrayed as green with blonde strands of hair.<br />
==Personality== <!--T:13--><br />
Flighty, abrupt, and snappy with her elders, Jolyne in her teenage years was easily considered a delinquent and lost cause. Bitter at [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] for being absent from her life, she tried multiple times to catch her father's attention by committing multiple minor crimes and went to jail several times for them. Because of her father's absence, Jolyne was said to be dependent on the affection and approval of those around her,<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 75}}, p16</ref> and she was ready to cover [[Romeo Jisso|Romeo]]'s accident, resulting in her being sentenced to 15 years in prison for it.<ref name="SOC2"/><br />
<br />
<!--T:14--><br />
After acquiring her Stand and being told by Jotaro of his love for her, Jolyne noticeably matures, becoming more courageous and confident. "Reviving" Jotaro, who fell into a coma due to [[Whitesnake]] stealing his Stand and memory, turns into her first priority.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 20}}, p17</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:15--><br />
Jolyne retains her confrontational attitude throughout the story. A former delinquent living in a maximum security prison, Jolyne had to toughen up and can be especially rude. She frequently taunts enemies. She also advocates aggressively asserting herself, especially in the prison, and once told [[Foo Fighters|F.F.]] to violently confront an inmate who cut in the queue for buying their lunch.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 51}}, p2</ref> Jolyne is particularly violent in her fights; she's used the cutting ability of her string to gruesomely wound her opponents, severing ears and nails<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 64}}, p21</ref> for instance. Jolyne usually doesn't seek to kill and even said that she didn't want Ermes to become a murderer.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 52}} p.6</ref> However, she readily uses lethal force against her archenemy [[Enrico Pucci]] and he was the one enemy she explicitely said she would kill.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 93}}, p.9</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:16--><br />
Jolyne also has a vindictive side and repays tenfold any wrong committed against her, notably indirectly cutting Romeo's tongue for betraying her,<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 111}}, p15</ref> or had her crooked attorney have a crash in his car.<ref name="SOC3"/> Moreover, Jolyne still holds a little grudge against Gwess, her first enemy and wants nothing to do with her despite the latter's effort to behave in front of Jolyne. More humourously, Jolyne kept a grudge against alligators in general after [[Limp Bizkit]] revived one that attacked her, and she had fun tossing something at another alligator's head as a form of revenge.<ref name=SO138>{{Ch|SO Chapter 138}}</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:17--><br />
Jolyne possesses a fierce determination, carrying her through several battles and inspiring her companions. After learning of [[DIO]]'s plan, Jolyne took pride in her lineage and opted to continue Jotaro's effort to seal the menace DIO left behind him. Jolyne stoically endures the hardships she faces and carry on her goal, disregarding the suffering and possible risks. For instance when she was brought to the maximum security ward, Jolyne was only momentarily disturbed by the horrible living conditions of the cell (the food tray was covered in insects) as well as the harrassement of the other inmates in the ward and quickly soldiered on through the ordeal.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 58}}, p8-9</ref> Her determination is so great that she was willing to lose a limb or even her life to defeat her enemy and save her comrades, an inclination especially prevalent in her that culminated in her sacrifice to get Emporio away from [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]].<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 155}}, p16-17</ref> One good exemple of her usual determination is the moment she set herself on fire to buy herself the time to attack [[Rikiel]], ignoring the great risks to herself since her body was made of strings.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 116}}</ref> Even still, Jolyne once expressed her doubts about being able to stop Pucci after Weather Report's death and the priest's second escape.<ref name=SO138/><br />
<br />
<!--T:18--><br />
Common in her lineage, Jolyne has honorable morals and treasures her family and friends. She would selflessly do everything in her power to help her companions and random victimized people, once helping a fellow mistreated prisoner to take back stolen money from her tormentors.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 10}}</ref> Jolyne is willing to believe in the good in people, which resulted in a share of betrayals, but also earned her F.F.'s friendship.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 33}}, p8</ref> Jolyne is especially sweet to [[Emporio]], her real first ally in Green Dolphin Street, and despite its status as an enemy, she didn't want to kill [[the Green Baby]]. Jolyne's primary motivation for investigating Whitesnake was her love for her father, and Pucci exploited that affection to escape her when he tossed Jotaro's memory disc inside of a dying Anasui, putting her through a difficult choice and forcing her to try to save her father's memory.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 95}}</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:19--><br />
Outside of combat, Jolyne behaves like an average young woman, if not a teenage girl, hanging out with her friends and occupying herself the best she can in the prison, as she is also fun-loving. Jolyne notably played ball with F.F. and Ermes,<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 34}}, p9</ref> and made herself a navel ring while in isolation.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 96}}, p12</ref> Unlike her father, Jolyne is rather extroverted and easily expresses her feelings to others. She is a sociable woman and can converse with her fellow prisoners easily, asking for explanations about the ins and outs of Green Dolphin Street.<br />
<br />
<!--T:20--><br />
Jolyne is notable for being somewhat libertine, being the first and only JoJo to admit to masturbating,<ref name=":0">{{Ch|SO Chapter 1}}, p6</ref> and offhandedly commenting that snails' ability to copulate with anything makes her slightly jealous.<ref>{{Ch|SO Chapter 130}}, p15</ref> Jolyne also mentions her need to urinate in the middle of a fight with another person, a man at that. However, she is horribly embarrassed to talk about masturbation in public and being caught in the act by a guard flustered and mortified her deeply.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
<!--T:21--><br />
[[Hirohiko Araki|Araki]] created Jolyne with the hopes of "making up" for his previous (and in his eyes, failed) attempt at a [[Gorgeous Irene|female protagonist]]. Aside from offering an interesting contrast to most shonen comics, he thinks she is a "real woman" sorely lacking in the medium. The role reversal between her and her father was devised for her character to go beyond the typical archetypes found in Japanese fiction.<ref>[http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4791701704/atmarkjojo-22/ref=nosim/ 2007 Eureka issue]</ref><br />
<br />
==Abilities== <!--T:22--><br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Stone Free}}<br />
[[File:SFP.png|thumb|135px|Stone Free]]<br />
<br />
<!--T:23--><br />
'''[[Stone Free]]''' grants Jolyne the ability to unravel parts of her body into a string. This makes it a very versatile Stand, enabling her to listen in on communications as well as escape and hide by unraveling parts of herself into string.<br />
<br />
<!--T:24--><br />
When she assembles the string, Jolyne can properly materialize Stone Free, partially or entirely. [[Stone Free]] is a humanoid Stand which has comparable physical prowess to the strongest Stands, with A's in Destructive power, Persistence, and Developmental potential.<br />
<br />
<!--T:25--><br />
Unlike the rest of her family, Jolyne has awakened her Stand from being cut by an amulet (later to be revealed a [[Bow and Arrow|Stand-creating stone arrowhead]] in disguise) given to her by her [[Jotaro Kujo|father]].<br />

<br />
===Personal Skills=== <!--T:26--><br />
[[File:Jolynefight.png|thumb|Jolyne's fighting stance|170px]]<br />
<br />
<!--T:27--><br />
*'''Intelligence''': Jolyne's greatest asset is her imagination. The versatile power of her Stand allows her a wide range of moves which she extensively uses. For example, when [[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]] used [[C-Moon]] to invert Jolyne's body, she used Stone Free to create a "[[wiki:Möbius strip|Möbius Strip]]" rendering her effectively invulnerable to its power.<ref>SO Chapter 146: "[[SO Chapter 146|C-Moon Part 6]]", p17</ref><br />
<br />
<!--T:28--><br />
True to any other Joestar, Jolyne is particularly adept at using whatever presents itself to her advantage, among others the environment and the enemy's power. Jolyne's quick thinking has allowed her to prevail against enemies. <br />
<br />
<!--T:29--><br />
Jolyne combines her tactics with a high level of recklessness, often endangering herself to surprise enemies with an unanticipated move. The particular nature of her power nonetheless assures that she can shrug off some of the damage ordinary Stand users cannot risk in a fight. <br />
<br />
<!--T:30--><br />
Jolyne's intelligence is intuitive to a degree, as she often shrugs off some of her moves as dumb luck,<ref>SO Chapter 117: "[[SO Chapter 117|Sky High Part 6]]", p13</ref> although it is a valid interpretation of her actions.<br />
<br />
<!--T:31--><br />
*'''Hand to Hand Combat''': She has also shown to be capable of defending herself, seen in full detail against [[Viviano Westwood|Officer Westwood]]. She has extensive knowledge of self-defense, which she demonstrates throughout the series, notably against Pucci.<br />
<br />
==Relationships== <!--T:32--><br />
===Family===<br />
[[File:JotaroJolyne.png|thumb|200px|Jolyne telling Jotaro off]]<br />
*[[Jotaro Kujo]]: Her distant and near-fatherless childhood bore a tinge of loneliness in her, at times resenting him but also wanting his affection. Her relationship with Jotaro is challenging at first, not really fitting the typical father-daughter mold. When Jolyne was fourteen, she was wrongfully accused of pickpocketing. Panicked, she stole a car, sloppily tried to make an escape from the authorities, and was arrested soon afterward. Jolyne anticipated that Jotaro would pay her bail, but was sorely disappointed when she overheard her mother's frantic and unsuccessful pleas with him on the phone. Her father's absence following this led to her teenage years of delinquency (she later reflects that these events were a desperate call for attention). During Jolyne's imprisonment, Jotaro visited her in an effort to break her out. Angered that he would come out of the blue to see her after years of absence, Jolyne blew up at him, citing his inattentive behavior and his divorce. However, after risking life and limb to get Jolyne out as well as losing his Stand in the process, Jolyne broke down and got Jotaro to safety, sacrificing her own freedom and vowing to get his Stand back. As time passed, Jolyne came to respect her father more and idolized him somewhat, adapting his trademark "''Yare yare daze''" into a more feminine "''Yare yare dawa''". When Jotaro returns later, both father and daughter show considerable care to one another, each in their own way.<br />
<br />
<!--T:34--><br />
*{{UN|Jolyne's Mother|Mother}}: Jolyne's mother rarely appears and is hardly talked about. It's assumed that she loves Jolyne very much and dotes on her in Jotaro's absence, as she was the only known person to be allowed to call Jolyne "JoJo". It's mentioned that she is an American.<br />
<br />
===Friends=== <!--T:36--><br />
*[[Ermes Costello]]: Ermes is possibly the first true friend that Jolyne encounters in her life when they meet and bond in jail. Her relationship with Ermes resembles that of Jotaro's relationship with [[Jean Pierre Polnareff]]. Jolyne and Ermes see each other as worthy allies and friends, and because of their similar temper, get along well and kill time together. She has fought alongside Jolyne against many powerful enemies like [[Sports Maxx]], [[Rikiel]], & [[Donatello Versus]].<br />
*[[Emporio Alnino]]: Emporio's relationship with Jolyne is somewhat similar to her ancestor [[Jonathan Joestar]] to [[Poco]], as Jolyne treats Emporio like a little brother and trustworthy ally, while Emporio is inspired by her courage and determination. Jolyne saves him from many dangerous situations and eventually sacrifices herself so than he may live, trusting that Emporio will defeat Pucci. Emporio's relationship with Jolyne extends to [[Irene]] as well.<br />
*[[Foo Fighters]]: Foo Fighters initially met Jolyne as enemies. However, Jolyne spares Foo Fighters; grateful to Jolyne, they become an ally. Jolyne treats Foo Fighters with respect and is very friendly with them, and noting their naïveté, is protective toward them. Foo Fighters, nicknamed F.F. by Jolyne, is inspired by her determination, and cherishes the memories they have of her. They are ultimately willing to put themself in danger and even sacrifice themself to save Jolyne's life.<br />
<br />
<!--T:37--><br />
*[[Romeo Jisso]]: Before Jolyne's growth as a person, she and Romeo were in a relationship; with Jolyne being particularly affectionate and meek and Romeo trying to keep some distance, as he was suspicious of her past as a possible gang member. Their relationship ended when Romeo framed her for his manslaughter with aggravating circumstance, landing her in prison for a crime she didn't commit. After she escapes from prison, Jolyne pays him a visit and he weeps for forgiveness. Romeo shows genuine repentance and actually helps her, but while Jolyne doesn't show any lingering anger, she takes the occasion to damage his tongue to silence him.<br />
<br />
<!--T:38--><br />
*[[Weather Report]]: When they first met, Jolyne was flabbergasted by Weather's eccentric behavior. However, during the fight against Lang Rangler, both eventually see each other as allies, and trust each other. Anasui even suspects him to be a rival for Jolyne's love and is jealous when Jolyne is with him. Regardless, there are hints of Jolyne caring for Weather in a more-than-fraternal way notably when upon meeting again, Jolyne hugs Weather. Jolyne was also particularly distraught at Weather's death.<br />
<br />
<!--T:39--><br />
*[[Narciso Anasui]]: Though Anasui fell in love with Jolyne at first sight, the feeling wasn't mutual; Jolyne was not really sure what to think of him. He would sometimes try to seduce her in underhanded ways, such as asking F.F. to trip her down the stairs so he could romantically catch her or prompting a French kiss from a temporary-mute Jolyne. Even so, he's truly devoted to her and will do everything in his power to keep her from being distressed. He has risked his life for her on more than one occasion and turns murderous when Jolyne is severely hurt. Eventually, during the final confrontation at Cape Canaveral Jolyne tells him that he can ask for her hand in marriage. At the end of ''Stone Ocean'', Jolyne and Anasui's counterparts Irene and Anakiss want to marry each other.<br />
<br />
===Enemies=== <!--T:40--><br />
<br />
<!--T:41--><br />
*[[Enrico Pucci]]: Pucci only saw Jolyne as bait at first in order to get to Jotaro but as she proved to be a persistent thorn on his side threat while finding her father's Stand and memory disks, Pucci threaded carefully around her. Unaware of his involvement at first, Jolyne treated the priest with respect. They became enemies right away once she was informed that [[Whitesnake]] was Pucci's Stand and was eager to take his life. Jolyne became more than determined in stopping him and putting an end to his plans but her efforts would soon be fatal while she almost fell to Pucci's newly evolved [[C-Moon]] and would finally fall to his [[Made In Heaven]] while protecting Emporio, but has managed to cut the right side of his eye before dying.<br />
*[[Donatello Versus]]: Due to his alliance with Pucci, Donatello and Jolyne were enemies. An additional reason for their antagonism would be that Jolyne's father destroyed Donatello's father. In the end Jolyne accidentally killed Donatello after being tricked by [[Whitesnake]] into thinking he was Pucci. Unbeknownst to either of them since Donatello was conceived when Dio possessed Jonathan's body Donatello is actually Jolyne's distant uncle.<br />
*[[Johngalli A.]]: As the man who got her framed for murder, Jolyne and Johngalli A. were enemies. Johngalli A. attempted to murder Jolyne and Jotaro to avenge DIO but failed. As payback, Jolyne pummeled Johngalli A. as the sniper realized that Jolyne was more resourceful than she looked and inherited Jotaro's blood.<br />
*[[Gwess]]: Jolyne's cellmate during her time at Green Dolphin. Jolyne inadvertently awakened Gwess's Stand power with her [[Minor Items|pendant]]. Gwess originally used her powers to bully Jolyne by shrinking her, but after Jolyne beat her she acted like her subordinate, advising Jolyne during her early days in prison and being somewhat afraid of her. Jolyne still had an arm-length relationship with Gwess but nonetheless tolerated her afterward.<br />
*[[Miuccia Miuller]]: Miu is an assassin sent by Pucci to make sure Jolyne doesn't interfere with his plans. Miu manipulated Jolyne into forgetting her goals and friends. After Jolyne remembered them, she beat up Miu and used her to escape the prison.<br />

==Trivia== <!--T:44--><br />
[[File:JolyneGay.png|thumb|150px]]<br />
<br />
<!--T:45--><br />
*In the original [[Weekly Shonen Jump]] publication of ''Stone Ocean'' Chapter 34, Jolyne says Foo Fighters looks like an {{Nihongo|''Okama''|オカマ}} (Japanese slang for homosexual) when throwing the baseball. In the volume release, the word is replaced with {{Nihongo|''gay''|ゲイ|gei}}.<ref>[http://blog.livedoor.jp/jojolab/archives/49733550.html ジョジョの奇妙な研究所 - ジョジョの奇妙な誤植 その⑥]</ref><br />
*Like other protagonists, she is nicknamed "JoJo". However, unlike her [[Joseph Joestar|great-grandfather]] and [[Jotaro Kujo|father]], she initially disliked being called with that nickname, only letting her mother use it.<br />
* According to Hideto Azuma, Araki's editor at the time of [[Stone Ocean]], he had requested that Jolyne's character was to be a man as [[Weekly Shonen Jump]] was a magazine for boys. However, Araki insisted on Jolyne's gender, saying that the fact that readers wouldn't accept a female lead was exactly the reason Jolyne had to be a woman.<ref>[[JOJOVELLER]] History (2013)</ref><br />

"'''chase'''" is the second opening theme song of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable]]'' and the sixth overall opening theme of the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' TV [[anime]]. The song is performed and arranged by the group [[batta]],<ref>[http://jojo-animation.com/news/index00630000.html JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable 第2クールオープニングテーマ「chase」]</ref> consisting of Tomomori Mano, Asato Shinohara, Takeshi Hoshino, and Tatsu Hoshino, who wrote the lyrics. The single was released on July 27, 2016.<br />
<br />
An English version of "chase" was included as a bonus track on the band's 3rd album ''Prelude'', released on October 17, 2018.<ref name="prelude"/><br />
<br />
==Opening Animation==<br />
The opening begins with a grey, drab visual of a heart with an anchor in the middle bearing the name "[[JoJo]]". Thorns from [[Hermit Purple]] wrap around the heart as a purple pulse monitor flashes across the screen. The pulse monitor then becomes erratic as if a heart attack, turning into electricity as the scene transitions into a cul-de-sac with the main cast standing in the middle while the camera rotates around them. The scene flashes to cans of soup in a freezer bearing the hands of several women while a superimposed "JoJo" is plastered across the image. The scene flashes back to the cast, zooming in on [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] as he strikes a pose before rotating to feature [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] also posing. The scene then flashes to an image of several suitcases with destination stickers of countries from around the world, one of which being Egypt where the [[Bow and Arrow|arrow]] came from, beneath them a puddle of blood and behind them a cracked door with light shining through. The scene then rotates to feature [[Joseph Joestar]] holding baby [[Shizuka Joestar|Shizuka]] before rotating again to feature [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] posing.<br />
<br />
The scene swiftly transitions to a photograph of [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] happily sitting next to all of his friends, along with, [[Toshikazu Hazamada|Toshikazu]], [[Tamami Kobayashi|Tamami]], and [[Shigekiyo Yangu|Shigechi]]—all striking poses and [[volume 41|pointing at the sky]], except for [[Yukako Yamagishi|Yukako]], who is staring happily at Koichi, and [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]], who is pointing towards where [[Reimi Sugimoto|Reimi's]] ally should be. The camera zooms out to feature several other Polaroid photos all lying on the ground, [[Killer Queen#Sheer Heart Attack|tire marks]] covering them. The [[Yoshikage Kira|Killer]]'s hand suddenly appears on all of the photos at once and smashes down on them before distorting into a skull. The photographs all erupt into flames and disintegrate as the main title appears from the fire.<br />
<br />
The title then turns into multiple sticky notes which each of the title's hiragana letters on them. These then scatter as the scene transitions to a field with Okuyasu and Toshikazu looking at Shigechi feeding a flock of pigeons. Suddenly, a finger appears on screen as the Killer violently trims his nail; with the reflections of [[Aya Tsuji]], Shigechi and Reimi appearing in the fingernail's reflection. The scene quickly shifts back to Shigechi and the others as the pigeons become spooked and fly off. The position of the scissors was lined up to where Shigechi's neck is, foreshadowing his fate.<br />
<br />
After a transition, Rohan appears as he sketches the birds flying off into the distance and near [[Super Fly|electrical pillars]] from the sanctity of his home. Rohan then looks up from his notebook and out the window with a solemn gaze. A single pigeon transitions the next scene, as the focus shifts to Toshikazu and Tamami arguing on the sidewalk while Josuke and Koichi chat with Okuyasu. On the screen, [[Bug-Eaten]] and the other rats appear above them before slowly panning to the anchor within the heart from earlier. The heart takes up the scene as everything else fades into black. Suddenly, a decrepit hand with long fingernails reaches out and clutches the heart in its hand, causing the thorns surrounding it to shatter as the background turns red. Out of nowhere, the skull of Sheer Heart Attack appears and eats the heart and hand with a single chomp; causing the thorns to spurt blood as if they were arteries. Out of darkness appears the newly evolved [[Echoes|Echoes ACT3]]; shrouded in darkness (up until it Episode 24 after its full reveal) its eyes glowing, with the silhouettes of Koichi and Hazamada changed into books in the background. Several green soundwaves appear from Echoes' body as this transitions into [[Love Deluxe]] and [[Cinderella]] side-by-side. Several arrows shoot down from above as both Stands each transform into their respective users, Yukako and Aya. The camera zooms out on the two sitting women as Aya clutches Yukako's face, a thin line of white rectangles separating them while blue lights shine from above.<br />
<br />
The camera unexpectedly zooms back in, now showing the white rectangles as windows with Reimi holding hands with a young Rohan. The hands disappear as the scene distorts into several windows which now show the Killer holding one of the severed hands of his "girlfriends". The hands phase away as [[Yoshihiro Kira|an old man]] holding a single bleeding arrow menacingly appears inside pictures, simply motionless. The man disappears as the camera zooms into where he once was, now traveling through Reimi's alley as the spirits of [[Arnold]] and Reimi appear, crying out in apparent pain. The camera zooms behind her as thick, sketchy lines depict the skull of [[Killer Queen]] briefly transforming into several black Arrows.<br />
<br />
The Arrows all fire out at Jotaro, Okuyasu, Koichi, and their Stands, barely missing them as they prepare for battle. The scene pans slowly over to Josuke, who with a furious look on his face, summons [[Crazy Diamond]] and shatters the Arrows into several pieces. As Crazy Diamond lets out a roar, shattering the remaining Arrows, Josuke breaks through as he desperately reaches out to catch the murderous silhouette of the Killer. The camera zooms closer in an attempt to reveal the Killer's face as he merely turns his head towards Josuke, revealing a cold, blue feline-like eye.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*According to the opening director, [[Yasufumi Soejima]], the pigeon feeding scene originally had scripted dialogue consisting of Okuyasu telling Hazamada "not to kill the pigeons again", and Hazamada claiming he would never do such a thing.<ref name="Animage">[[Interview Archive|『アニメージュ』2016年11月号記事より]]</ref><br />
*So far, chase is the shortest opening song in the series, with the full version being only slightly over two minutes.<br />
*The opening adds Reimi and Arnold to the group photograph, behind Rohan, from Episode 18 onward.<br />
*After Echoes ACT3 is revealed, the opening removes its shadow obscurity and has it replace ACT2 next to Koichi.<br />
*The flames burning up the photos of Josuke and his friends are likely a reference to [[Cheap Trick]] trying to get Rohan to burn the photos that reveal Kira's new identity.<br />
*This is the only opening song to have an [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oDba5-eFQJE official music video].<br />
*There's an inconsistency with Aya Tsuji's eye color. In the opening, she has brown eyes. Otherwise, in the anime, her eyes are blue.<br />
*Similar to [[STAND PROUD]], chase has an "Acoustic Version" of the opening that features a slowed-down tempo with more of a melancholy tone.<br />
*chase is used in the least amount of episodes compared to the other openings used in the 3rd season, appearing in only 9 episodes compared to [[Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town]]'s 11 and [[Great Days]]' 12.<br />
*A bonus track from batta's album 'prelude' features an all-English version of the song as sung by batta himself, making it the third JoJo-related music to have official English versions, after Great Days and [[Fighting Gold]] and before [[Uragirimono no Requiem]].<br />

"'''chase'''" is the second opening theme song of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable]]'' and the sixth overall opening theme of the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' TV [[anime]]. The song is performed and arranged by the group [[batta]],<ref>[http://jojo-animation.com/news/index00630000.html JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable 第2クールオープニングテーマ「chase」]</ref> consisting of Tomomori Mano, Asato Shinohara, Takeshi Hoshino, and Tatsu Hoshino, who wrote the lyrics. The single was released on July 27, 2016.<br />
<br />
An English version of "chase" was included as a bonus track on the band's 3rd album ''Prelude'', released on October 17, 2018.<ref name="prelude"/><br />
<br />
==Opening Animation==<br />
The opening begins with a grey, drab visual of a heart with an anchor in the middle bearing the name "[[JoJo]]". Thorns from [[Hermit Purple]] wrap around the heart as a purple pulse monitor flashes across the screen. The pulse monitor then becomes erratic as if a heart attack, turning into electricity as the scene transitions into a cul-de-sac with the main cast standing in the middle while the camera rotates around them. The scene flashes to cans of soup in a freezer bearing the hands of several women while a superimposed "JoJo" is plastered across the image. The scene flashes back to the cast, zooming in on [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] as he strikes a pose before rotating to feature [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] also posing. The scene then flashes to an image of several suitcases with destination stickers of countries from around the world, one of which being Egypt where the [[Bow and Arrow|arrow]] came from, beneath them a puddle of blood and behind them a cracked door with light shining through. The scene then rotates to feature [[Joseph Joestar]] holding baby [[Shizuka Joestar|Shizuka]] before rotating again to feature [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] posing.<br />
<br />
The scene swiftly transitions to a photograph of [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] happily sitting next to all of his friends, along with, [[Toshikazu Hazamada|Toshikazu]], [[Tamami Kobayashi|Tamami]], and [[Shigekiyo Yangu|Shigechi]]—all striking poses and [[volume 41|pointing at the sky]], except for [[Yukako Yamagishi|Yukako]], who is staring happily at Koichi, and [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]], who is pointing towards where [[Reimi Sugimoto|Reimi's]] ally should be. The camera zooms out to feature several other Polaroid photos all lying on the ground, [[Killer Queen#Sheer Heart Attack|tire marks]] covering them. The [[Yoshikage Kira|Killer]]'s hand suddenly appears on all of the photos at once and smashes down on them before distorting into a skull. The photographs all erupt into flames and disintegrate as the main title appears from the fire.<br />
<br />
The title then turns into multiple sticky notes which each of the title's hiragana letters on them. These then scatter as the scene transitions to a field with Okuyasu and Toshikazu looking at Shigechi feeding a flock of pigeons. Suddenly, a finger appears on screen as the Killer violently trims his nail; with the reflections of [[Aya Tsuji]], Shigechi and Reimi appearing in the fingernail's reflection. The scene quickly shifts back to Shigechi and the others as the pigeons become spooked and fly off. The position of the scissors was lined up to where Shigechi's neck is, foreshadowing his fate.<br />
<br />
After a transition, Rohan appears as he sketches the birds flying off into the distance and near [[Super Fly|electrical pillars]] from the sanctity of his home. Rohan then looks up from his notebook and out the window with a solemn gaze. A single pigeon transitions the next scene, as the focus shifts to Toshikazu and Tamami arguing on the sidewalk while Josuke and Koichi chat with Okuyasu. On the screen, [[Bug-Eaten]] and the other rats appear above them before slowly panning to the anchor within the heart from earlier. The heart takes up the scene as everything else fades into black. Suddenly, a decrepit hand with long fingernails reaches out and clutches the heart in its hand, causing the thorns surrounding it to shatter as the background turns red. Out of nowhere, the skull of Sheer Heart Attack appears and eats the heart and hand with a single chomp; causing the thorns to spurt blood as if they were arteries. Out of darkness appears the newly evolved [[Echoes|Echoes ACT3]]; shrouded in darkness (up until it Episode 24 after its full reveal) its eyes glowing, with the silhouettes of Koichi and Hazamada changed into books in the background. Several green soundwaves appear from Echoes' body as this transitions into [[Love Deluxe]] and [[Cinderella]] side-by-side. Several arrows shoot down from above as both Stands each transform into their respective users, Yukako and Aya. The camera zooms out on the two sitting women as Aya clutches Yukako's face, a thin line of white rectangles separating them while blue lights shine from above.<br />
<br />
The camera unexpectedly zooms back in, now showing the white rectangles as windows with Reimi holding hands with a young Rohan. The hands disappear as the scene distorts into several windows which now show the Killer holding one of the severed hands of his "girlfriends". The hands phase away as [[Yoshihiro Kira|an old man]] holding a single bleeding arrow menacingly appears inside pictures, simply motionless. The man disappears as the camera zooms into where he once was, now traveling through Reimi's alley as the spirits of [[Arnold]] and Reimi appear, crying out in apparent pain. The camera zooms behind her as thick, sketchy lines depict the skull of [[Killer Queen]] briefly transforming into several black Arrows.<br />
<br />
The Arrows all fire out at Jotaro, Okuyasu, Koichi, and their Stands, barely missing them as they prepare for battle. The scene pans slowly over to Josuke, who with a furious look on his face, summons [[Crazy Diamond]] and shatters the Arrows into several pieces. As Crazy Diamond lets out a roar, shattering the remaining Arrows, Josuke breaks through as he desperately reaches out to catch the murderous silhouette of the Killer. The camera zooms closer in an attempt to reveal the Killer's face as he merely turns his head towards Josuke, revealing a cold, blue feline-like eye.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*According to the opening director, [[Yasufumi Soejima]], the pigeon feeding scene originally had scripted dialogue consisting of Okuyasu telling Hazamada "not to kill the pigeons again", and Hazamada claiming he would never do such a thing.<ref name="Animage">[[Interview Archive|『アニメージュ』2016年11月号記事より]]</ref><br />
*So far, chase is the shortest opening song in the series, with the full version being only slightly over two minutes.<br />
*The opening adds Reimi and Arnold to the group photograph, behind Rohan, from Episode 18 onward.<br />
*After Echoes ACT3 is revealed, the opening removes its shadow obscurity and has it replace ACT2 next to Koichi.<br />
*The flames burning up the photos of Josuke and his friends are likely a reference to [[Cheap Trick]] trying to get Rohan to burn the photos that reveal Kira's new identity.<br />
*This is the only opening song to have an [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oDba5-eFQJE official music video].<br />
*There's an inconsistency with Aya Tsuji's eye color. In the opening, she has brown eyes. Otherwise, in the anime, her eyes are blue.<br />
*Similar to [[STAND PROUD]], chase has an "Acoustic Version" of the opening that features a slowed-down tempo with more of a melancholy tone.<br />
*chase is used in the least amount of episodes compared to the other openings used in the 3rd season, appearing in only 9 episodes compared to [[Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town]]'s 11 and [[Great Days]]' 12.<br />
*A bonus track from batta's album 'prelude' features an all-English version of the song as sung by batta himself, making it the third JoJo-related music to have official English versions, after Great Days and [[Fighting Gold]] and before [[Uragirimono no Requiem]].<br />

{{nihongo|'''Josuke Higashikata'''|東方 仗助|Higashikata Jōsuke}} is the protagonist of the fourth part of the ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' series, ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]'', and the fourth [[JoJo]] of the series. He is the illegitimate son of [[Joseph Joestar]] and [[Tomoko Higashikata]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:4--><br />
Josuke is a high school first-year residing in the town of [[Morioh]]. In the year 1999, he meets [[Jotaro Kujo]], who informs him that he is Joseph's illegitimate son. After his [[Ryohei Higashikata|grandfather]] dies, Josuke takes it upon himself to protect his beloved town from malevolent [[Stand]] Users. <br />
<br />
<!--T:5--><br />
Josuke is a Stand User that wields [[Crazy Diamond]], a Stand with the power to repair almost anything.<br />
<br />
==Appearance== <!--T:6--><br />
{{quote|Excuse me... What did you say about my hair?! |Josuke Higashikata, {{Ch|Chapter 266}}}}<br />
[[File:JosukeRender.png|160px|frameless|left]]<br />
Josuke is a tall, handsome young man of average build. His most prominent feature is his well-maintained {{w|Pompadour (hairstyle)|pompadour}}, styled after that of an [[Josuke's Savior|unknown man]] who saved his life as a child.<ref name="C324">{{Ch|Chapter 324}}</ref> His pompadour has a tendency to become spiky with his mood, such as when he is irritated or angry.<br />
<br />
<!--T:7--><br />
Josuke wears a dark, modified Japanese school uniform. His jacket conforms to his body, extending to the middle of his thigh, accompanied by a pair of wide-legged pants. He keeps his jacket unbuttoned and pinned aside, revealing a light undershirt with a short zipper on each side of his chest. He wears a small stud in each ear. <br />
<br />
<!--T:8--><br />
Josuke wears a number of metallic/golden emblems. On the left side of his collar, he wears a modified anchor and on his right, a row of two small hearts. Pinning his open jacket to his chest on his right is a {{w|Peace symbols#The peace sign|peace sign}} (☮), and on the left is a heart (occasionally enclosing a palm, like on [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]]'s hat). He wears a gold band at both wrists over his sleeves (under more elaborate pieces in several illustrations).<br />
<br />
<!--T:9--><br />
A man with expensive taste, Josuke wears [http://www.y-aoyama.jp/men/brand/junko.html Mr. Junko] original socks, ¥25,000 black {{w|Bally Shoe|Bally}} shoes,<ref name="C328">Chapter 328: ''[[Chapter 328|Let's Go 'Hunting'!

<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
Josuke's most common color scheme consists of either a dark blue or purple uniform and a green or yellow undershirt.<br />

[[File:Josuke_protecting_Morioh.png|thumb|Josuke swearing to protect [[Morioh]]|260x260px|alt=]]<br />
Josuke is a savvy, confident, and courageous teenager. Friendly and loyal, his amiable personality helps him make friends throughout the story.<br />
<br />
<!--T:13--><br />
Josuke's primary trait is his overall kindness, which is reflected in his Stand, Crazy Diamond, who repairs and heals.<ref name="cd0">[[Crazy Diamond]]</ref> When he was a child, a random bystander helped save a feverish Josuke out of kindness,<ref name="C324" /> Josuke subconsciously reflected that kindness in him. Even upon the revelation that he was Joseph's bastard son, Josuke had thought first and foremost about the troubles he's caused to the Joestars and disregarded any claim for a heritage, only wanting to reassure his biological father that he was doing fine.<ref name="C267">{{Ch|Chapter 267}}</ref> Agreeable by nature, Josuke isn't as prone to violence as other JoJos and can even calmly tolerate bullying by upperclassmen<ref name="C266">{{Ch|Chapter 266}}</ref> or [[Shigekiyo Yangu|Shigechi]]'s selfishness.<ref name="C337">{{Ch|Chapter 337}}</ref> Josuke is loyal to his friends and loved ones; risking his life after [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] is hit by [[Keicho Nijimura|Keicho]]'s [[Bow and Arrow|Bow]],<ref name="C277">{{Ch|Chapter 277}}</ref> and carrying [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]]'s body while apparently dead throughout the first part of his battle with [[Yoshikage Kira]].<ref name="C430">{{Ch|Chapter 430}}</ref> When his grandfather died, Josuke took it upon himself to become the protector of Morioh.<ref name="C270">{{Ch|Chapter 270}}</ref> Upon meeting someone in not particularly antagonistic circumstances, Josuke will generally be polite and friendly.<br />
[[File:Josuke and Koichi.png|left|thumb|Josuke hanging out with [[Koichi Hirose]]]]<br />
Overall, Josuke behaves like a teenager and, aside from his general goal of protecting Morioh from any Stand menace, is concerned by more down to earth matters, such as hanging out with his friends. As a result, Josuke is almost never seen alone in the streets of Morioh. Josuke passively protects his town, and only acts when directly asked by the much more proactive Jotaro or when he directly encounters a Stand User. Curious, Josuke is quick to investigate any unusual phenomenon, which often leads him into a Stand User. Josuke is very prone to openly communicate his feelings and emotions, making him appear to be a goofy individual.<br />
[[File:Josuke turtle scared.png|thumb|Terrified by a turtle]]<br />
Sufficiently humble, Josuke confesses to being nervous around famous people, opting not to go with Koichi to first meet Rohan Kishibe due to his great fame as a ''mangaka''.<ref name="c322">{{Ch|Chapter 322}}</ref> Josuke also has a fear of turtles, and has tried to touch a turtle to get rid of that fear.<ref name="C266" /> Josuke isn't shy to admit his limits, and has confessed that he doesn't know much about manga, or isn't good at video games, even though he isn't happy to have someone know these factoids. In the same way, Josuke tries to live up to Jotaro, whom he admires, and has been nervous around him due to a fear of not living up to the task Jotaro entrusted to him.<ref name="C325">{{Ch|Chapter 325}}</ref> He has also shown a mild fear of ghosts (in the beginning), as shown when Koichi wonders if he saw a ghost in the house next to Josuke's, and Josuke nervously tells him to cut it out.<br />
<br />
<!--T:14--><br />
[[File:Josuke deadeye dick.png|thumb|left|Josuke calmly aiming at [[Bug-Eaten]] in critical moment|245x245px]]<br />
However, in a fight, Josuke is much more calm and observational, even though aspects of his goofiness tend to shine through. He has sufficient confidence in his own abilities, namely his Stand, but this doesn't extend to Josuke himself since he can still be nervous if things don't go his way. Additionally, [[Terunosuke Miyamoto]] is able to reveal that Josuke's nervous tic is to bite his lips.<ref name="C406">{{Ch|Chapter 406}}</ref> Even if Josuke is gentle by nature, he has no qualms about brutalizing an enemy and, in the case that someone has hurt or endangered a loved one, Josuke will be even more vindictive, as he fused Angelo with a rock<ref name="C273">{{Ch|Chapter 273}}</ref> and Terunosuke with a book.<ref name="C409">{{Ch|Chapter 409}}</ref><br />
[[File:Josuke and Okuyasu love money.png|thumb|225x225px|Jouske and [[Okuyasu Nijimura]], happy at how much money they can get by cutting off [[Shigekiyo Yangu]]]]<br />
Josuke has a tangential respect of the law at best, having inherited his father's mischievous side, shown primarily in regards to winning money. After nearly emptying his bank account with frivolous spending, Josuke has been trying to get extra money in a quick fashion. When he and Okuyasu meet [[Shigekiyo Yangu|Shigechi]], he quickly devises a plan to exploit Shigechi's Stand [[Harvest]] to find first discarded change<ref name="C336">{{Ch|Chapter 336}}</ref> and then discarded coupons from all over Morioh, going as far as commit a felony to earn the money in a winning ticket.<ref name="C338">{{Ch|Chapter 338}}</ref> Similarly, after meeting [[Mikitaka Hazekura]], he takes advantage of his shape-shifting 'Stand' power, convincing Mikitaka to turn into dice in order to cheat money from [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]], with whom he has a bad relationship.<ref name="C380">{{Ch|Chapter 380}}</ref> Lastly, characterized as a knowing gesture, he steals Joseph's wallet with his Stand by restoring it to his possession with a piece of a picture planted there.<ref name="C439">{{Ch|Chapter 439}}</ref> The fact that his Stand can nearly repair or heal anything means that Josuke can get away with destruction of property or endangering someone, thus he isn't really concerned about the legal ramifications of his actions, since they will be without consequences (for him, at least).<br />
[[File:Josuke fangirls.png|left|thumb|220x220px|Josuke with his fangirls]]<br />
While Josuke does have his fair share of groupies, he deals with them much less dramatically than his father and nephew. He isn't peverted nor relentlessly flirtatious (unlike Joseph), but he doesn't go out of his way to get rid of them (unlike Jotaro). Instead, if the girls near Josuke express interest in him, he is flattered and has shown to get along quite well with his female classmates and admirers.<ref name="C267" /> When Jotaro asks Josuke to go hunting, Josuke initially believes he means hunting for girls and says with a blush and smile that he is more of a 'love kind of guy'.<ref name="C325" /> However, he seems to be willing to fight them as he threatened to kill Yukako if she tried to do anything to Koichi, with whom she was obsessed.<ref name="c348">{{Ch|Chapter 348}}</ref> While he does express interest in women, it is not his main priority.<br />
<br />
As a catchphrase, Josuke often says "Great" in English. He also displays an odd quirk whenever he pronounces the Japanese phrase {{nihongo|kakkoii|かっこいい}}, a masculine compliment essentially meaning "cool", where he will always pronounce it weirdly like "Kappyoii" or "Kacchoii." These mispronunciations are translated as "kewl" in the English Crunchyroll subtitles.<br />
[[File:What'd you say anime.png|thumb|"What'd you say about my hair?"]]<br />
In a quintessential idiosyncrasy, Josuke takes a hyper-sensitive reaction to comments at all disparaging his hairstyle;<ref name="C267" /> which Koichi interprets as Josuke reacting to insults towards his savior, although Josuke personally claims he doesn't know the reason for his wrath.<ref name="C324" /> After an insult, Josuke automatically enters a blind rage, regardless of the circumstances and interlocutors, and becomes much more rude and violent. Firstly, a swaggering upperclassman to whom Josuke initially defers is punched and stepped on<ref name="C266" /> before his nose is permanently deformed. Later, during his fight with Rohan, the latter repeatedly taunts Josuke in an attempt to manipulate Josuke into gazing upon his Stand. As a result, Josuke goes berserk, and after overpowering Rohan, he delivers a beatdown so intense that it landed Rohan in the hospital for a month.<ref name="C324" /><br />
==Abilities== <!--T:15--><br />
===[[Stand]]===<br />
{{Main|Crazy Diamond}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:16--><br />
Josuke's [[Stand]], Crazy Diamond, can restore objects (and organisms) to a previous state in their history.<br />
<br />
<!--T:17--><br />
It is able to repair damage and heal injuries. It can also revert an item to its components (e.g. a wooden table into lumber).<br />
<br />
<!--T:39--><br />

}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:18--><br />
With this, Crazy Diamond may perform a range of interesting feats; including trapping (parts of) an enemy by restoring pieces of a broken object around it; and tracking, accomplished by restoring something such as a torn piece of clothing, which seeks to reattach itself to the original article.<br />
<br />
<!--T:19--><br />
However, this Stand is not without limits: Crazy Diamond can only restore state, not life, hence a lifeless body would still remain dead even after being "fixed" by Crazy Diamond's power. Also, the healing power cannot be used on Josuke himself, or strictly speaking, anything that can be considered a part of his current self, body, or even his own clothes.<br />
<br />
====Mastery==== <!--T:20--><br />
[[File:Josuke with Crazy D.png|left|thumb|Josuke with [[Crazy Diamond]]]]<br />
Josuke shows great proficiency with using Crazy Diamond in combat. Thanks to its great physical prowess, Josuke can use Crazy Diamond's fists to perform outside-of-the-box tactics such as breaking through a wall to escape an attack. Moreover, he has been shown to throw projectiles with great efficiency thanks to his Stand's sheer strength and precision.<br />
<br />
<!--T:21--><br />
Additionally, Josuke has been shown to use his seemingly restricted power for a wide array of tactical goals. Crazy Diamond's power of repairing anything makes Josuke a great healer, as long as he can reach his allies before they die, and he works exceptionally well with a partner as a result. Because he can break objects and repair them, Josuke is liberal in breaking anything to get something he wants such as a more favorable position or a key item like fuel for a motorcycle, use a precious item as leverage, or even destroy his motorcycle to avoid a baby carriage; he then repairs anything he's broken, cancelling any consequence his antics would have. Josuke can easily exploit the environment to his advantage thanks to Crazy Diamond. His ability to repair makes it so he can manipulate the environment to a certain point, like creating a shield out of concrete or laying down a trap with an object's broken pieces only to repair it around an enemy. The deadliness of his projectile is also increased as he can create a boomerang effect by forcing a piece to come back to him, hitting an enemy from behind.<br />
<br />
===Personal Skills=== <!--T:22--><br />
Josuke is shrewd, confident, and courageous, possessing considerable fluid intelligence and a will to win - just like [[Joseph Joestar|his father]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:23--><br />
*'''Intelligence''': Josuke is extremely quick to get on his feet under almost any circumstance as he is very aware of his immediate surroundings as well as his own capabilities. He is proficient in utilizing anything he has within reach for dealing with problems at hand and is also shown to be capable of planning several steps ahead by reading opponents' behavior and habits. Josuke is very confident of his abilities to the point of claiming that there is nothing Crazy Diamond (indirectly referring to himself) can't fix and expresses mild disappointment after figuring out what he thought would have been one such problem. As a result of his intellect, Josuke can be quite cunning; manipulating, lying, and cheating others occasionally to achieve certain selfish goals.<br />
<br />
<!--T:24--><br />
*'''Physical Fitness''': Josuke possesses substantial athletic ability. He has been shown once to have successfully chased down a moving bus over long distances completely on foot, and can handle a heavy motorbike effortlessly for the first and only time riding it while achieving many otherwise professional feats during a high-speed chase in attempts to avoid direct contacts with the [[Highway Star|enemy]] chasing after him. The most well known demonstration of Josuke's physical toughness is shown when he withstands exposure to several explosions generated by [[Yoshikage Kira]]'s [[Killer Queen]], sustaining heavy injuries and blood loss but remaining conscious enough to think of countermeasures and tactics.<br />
<br />
==Relationships== <!--T:25--><br />
===Friends, Classmates and Others===<br />
<br />
<!--T:26--><br />
*[[Koichi Hirose]]: Josuke is close friends with Koichi and frequently looks out for his well-being. When Koichi becomes victim to Yukako's intense affection toward him, Josuke takes measures to make Koichi seem less attractive. Josuke respects Koichi's bravery in dire times and sees him as a good friend and worthy ally, trusting him for help throughout various battles.<br />
*[[Okuyasu Nijimura]]: Initially, Josuke and Okuyasu met as enemies, but after hearing out Okuyasu's story and motives, Josuke becomes best friends with him. The two frequently hang out with each other and experience day-to-day misadventures. They often encounter or fight Stand users together such as [[Tonio Trussardi|Tonio]], [[Akira Otoishi|Otoishi]], [[Shigekiyo Yangu|Shigechi]], [[Mikitaka Hazekura|Mikitaka]], [[Toyohiro Kanedaichi|Toyohiro]], and [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]]. They have such a strong bond that when Okuyasu was attacked and nearly killed by Kira, Josuke refused to leave him even though it seemed Okuyasu was dead and dragging his body slowed Josuke down.<br />
*[[Rohan Kishibe]]: Josuke and Rohan initially met as enemies due to Rohan nearly killing Koichi and Okuyasu. Josuke then gets his hair insulted by Rohan and pummels him in blinded rage. Although their views of each other cool down after that, they do not view each other any more amicably. Rohan becomes suspicious of Josuke's attempts to cheat money from him and Josuke becomes suspicious of Rohan's attempts at revenge. Despite this, the two hold some begrudging respect and trust in each other. Due to their contrasting personalities, Rohan had difficulty getting Josuke to listen to him during the fight with [[Highway Star]] and saved Josuke's life while risking his own. Josuke started to respect Rohan after that and risked his life in return by looking for [[Yuya Fungami]] in hopes of rescuing Rohan. Although Josuke has healed Rohan's pinky during their game of Cee-lo, and then healed him again after Highway Star, Rohan gets angry afterwards because he never asked Josuke to do so.<br />
*[[Mikitaka Hazekura]]: Josuke and Mikitaka see each other as close friends. Mikitaka is especially thankful of Josuke for "saving his life" by finding him in a crop circle and getting him away from loud sirens later on. Josuke does not hesitate to have Mikitaka use his ability to attempt to scam money from Rohan, but becomes worried when Mikitaka displays signs of sickness and attempts to look out for his friend's well-being. In addition, Josuke is moved when Mikitaka offers to sacrifice his freedom to save Josuke from [[Super Fly]] during their fight against Toyohiro, and does everything in his power to save him. Overall, the two are good loyal friends who stand by each other.<br />
*[[Josuke's Savior]]: In a past incident in which Josuke had a fever and the car his mom drove was stuck in a snowstorm, an unnamed student with a pompadour took off his coat and placed it underneath the car. By doing so, the car was able to start up and drive over the coat safely as the student pushed the car from behind. This caused Josuke to look up to the student as a role model, and hence style his own hair in a similar manner and to live his life based on how he believed his hero would act. Josuke's admiration is so strong that when someone insults his pompadour, Josuke takes it as an insult to his hero and beats up whoever insulted his hair.<br />
*[[Yukako Yamagishi]]: The two did not start off on good terms due to Yukako's initial obsession and kidnapping of Koichi. When Josuke saw her again, he threatened to kill her if she did anything to Koichi, though she promised not to. The two were stated to have a relationship where they don't care for each other, but after she and Koichi begin dating, Josuke was seen hanging with her and Okuyasu at a cafe in [[Chapter 371]] (notably without Koichi).<br />
*[[Shigekiyo Yangu]]: Initially, Shigekiyo was friendly to Josuke and Okuyasu as he was glad to make new friends. Josuke and Okuyasu referred to him as "Shigechi". Together, they decided to use Shigechi's powers to their advantage to earn some easy money. However, when Shigechi got greedy and failed to keep his promise of sharing an equal amount of money with Josuke and Okuyasu, it led to a confrontation. Josuke and Okuyasu managed to defeat him and Shigechi re-befriended the two. While still annoyed by his greed, Josuke was distraught upon learning Shigechi was murdered by Kira and swore to get revenge for him.<br />
*[[Yuya Fungami]]: The two initially started out as enemies as Yuya used his Stand to absorb nutrients from both Rohan and him. Since he was injured, Josuke healed his wounds so that it would be a "fair fight" and then immediately punched him again several times, knocking him out the window. However, when [[Terunosuke Miyamoto|Terunosuke]] captured Koichi, Josuke went to Yuya for help finding Koichi with his sense of smell in exchange for Josuke healing his wounds. Yuya agreed but stated he wouldn't help fight the Stand user. Despite this, Yuya put his life on the line to save Josuke and Koichi, earning Josuke's respect. The two soon became friends afterwards.<br />
*[[Reimi Sugimoto]]: While Josuke did not have much interaction with Reimi as much as she did with Rohan and Koichi, he did still seem to care for her and felt sorry for her condition. He also didn't seem scared of her, despite his initial fear of ghosts. He listened to her advice about the serial killer Stand user Kira and bid her farewell when she left.<br />
*[[Hayato Kawajiri]]: Hayato found out his father was replaced by Kira and when trying to expose Kira ended up being saved by Josuke. He gave advice to Josuke throughout his fight with Kira despite not having a Stand, such as exposing a weakness in Kira's Stand ability. Josuke in turn admires Hayato's bravery, such as when he allows himself to set off the bomb on Okuyasu's body in place of Josuke, as Hayato sees Josuke and his allies as the only way to stop Kira. He played an integral part in helping Josuke fight against Kira while Josuke protected him, becoming friends in the process.<br />
<br />
===Family=== <!--T:27--><br />
<br />
<!--T:28--><br />
*[[Tomoko Higashikata]]: Josuke is very close to his mother, as her emotions towards Joseph are much of the reason for his animosity towards his father. He considers her a strong woman and the two love each other deeply. Though he loves his mother, he can be annoyed by her strictness such as telling him to go to bed early or when she froze his bank account after learning he earned 1 billion yen. Both act very informally with each other.<br />
*[[Ryohei Higashikata]]: Josuke respects his maternal grandfather and looks up to him due to his profession as a police officer. The two are very close and Ryohei has a habit of pranking Josuke. When he was killed by Angelo, Josuke got his revenge by fusing Angelo to a rock for eternity to stay in the town his grandfather protected.<br />
*[[Jotaro Kujo]]: Despite having fought Jotaro when they first met, Josuke has quickly grown to trust him especially after their battle with Angelo and after Jotaro tells him the details behind Stand users in Morioh. Later, when Jotaro takes him out hunting, Josuke is quick to accept and trusts his strategy. They also band together to fight against Yoshikage Kira. Although Josuke is technically Jotaro's uncle, he looks up to Jotaro as a mentor while Jotaro cares for Josuke as a younger brother, though is also mildly exasperated by the latter's temper and rougher-around-the-edge Stand abilities. The two have been described as having a relationship of mutual trust and respect, though Josuke tends to feel pressured by Jotaro due to his greater experience and power. He also looks up to Jotaro calling his Star Platinum invincible during his fight with Akira Otoishi and again when fighting Yoshihiro Kira.<br />
*[[Joseph Joestar]]: Before meeting his father, Josuke preferred that he would just leave because he thought it was too late for Joseph to get involved with him and his mother. Josuke states that he doesn't hate him, but it would be awkward meeting him now and would rather have him leave them in peace as it's always been. However, he fights against Otoishi to protect Joseph's life because he believes he'll be seeing bad dreams if he isn't able to help his father. When Joseph first arrives at Morioh with a broken cane, Josuke also helps him walk by holding his hand instead of repairing it. Upon seeing Joseph's strong desire to help people when he endangered his life to save [[Shizuka Joestar|Shizuka]], Josuke starts to warm up to him. By the end of the manga, he's happily accepting of his father, though still steals his wallet.<br />
*[[Shizuka Joestar]]: When he and Joseph found her, they were surprised by her powers and did their best to take care of her and find her parents. Josuke was concerned when her powers caused her and everything around her to turn invisible and did his best to make sure she was unharmed. He also thinks of her as cute. Considering the limited interactions between the two, it is safe to assume the two get along, especially now that they are siblings (as Joseph later adopts Shizuka).<br />
<br />
===Enemies=== <!--T:29--><br />
<br />
<!--T:30--><br />
*[[Yoshikage Kira]]: After Kira killed Shigechi, Josuke swore to avenge him and developed a grudge against Kira. While Josuke loathed Kira, the latter didn't think much of Josuke and as an enemy, preferred to avoid any confrontation with him. However, during their final battle, Kira noticed that Josuke's ability to repair things was the perfect counter to [[Killer Queen]]'s ability. After realizing that Josuke is the most terrifying person getting in the way of his peace of mind rather than Jotaro, Kira was more cautious during their fight.<br />
*[[Yoshihiro Kira]]: Because Yoshihiro is Yoshikage's greatest ally, Josuke and Yoshihiro are enemies. Josuke bears a grudge against Yoshihiro and the latter made several attempts to kill Josuke including attacking him with his Stand and creating several Stand users. Josuke manages to kill Yoshihiro by tricking Yoshikage, who unknowingly makes his father explode.<br />
*[[Anjuro Katagiri]]: Due to Angelo murdering his grandfather, Josuke despised him and made a vow to protect Morioh from criminals like him. Josuke would later take his revenge by turning Angelo into a rock.<br />
*[[Akira Otoishi]]: Out of empathy for [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] losing his [[Keicho Nijimura|brother]] to Otoishi, Josuke disliked Otoishi and knew he had to be stopped. When confronting Josuke in his own home, Otoishi underestimated his abilities and thought he could defeat Josuke with only his pinky. When Otoishi threatens to murder Joseph, Josuke fights seriously against him and after his defeat, Otoishi cooperates by staying in prison due to fear of being hunted down by Jotaro.<br />
*[[Terunosuke Miyamoto]]: In order to lure out Josuke, Terunosuke trapped Josuke's mother and Koichi inside pieces of paper. Josuke was angered by him for being someone who would take people hostage, most notably his mother. Josuke would later get his revenge by turning Terunosuke into a book and leaving him in the Morioh library.<br />
*[[Keicho Nijimura]]: Josuke and Keicho met as enemies due to the latter's involvement in putting Morioh's population in danger and shooting Koichi in the throat. While Josuke detested Keicho's callousness toward his own brother, he felt sympathetic towards the brothers after learning of their father's fate, recognizing some decency in Keicho and offered a truce. Keicho, plagued by the thought of his past crimes, rejected the truce and was killed by Otoishi soon afterwards.<br />
*[[Toyohiro Kanedaichi]]: Originally acting friendly towards Josuke, Toyohiro reveals that his kindness was only a ploy in an attempt to kill him. After a brief fight, Toyohiro tells Josuke and the others that he is trapped by his Stand and was just trying to escape. He then dropped all hostility towards Josuke and his friends and informed him that Koichi was being attacked by [[Terunosuke Miyamoto|another Stand user]].<br />
<br />
===The Book: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 4th Another Day=== <!--T:31--><br />
<br />
<!--T:32--><br />
*[[Takuma Hasumi]]: After learning that there was another murderer in Morioh, Josuke went on an investigation that eventually led him to confront Takuma. While the two have only brief interactions, Josuke was angry at Takuma for assaulting Okuyasu and his mother and insulting his hero. In the end, Josuke unintentionally killed him by pushing him off a roof.<br />

==Trivia== <!--T:35--><br />
[[File:Araki's_Top_Ten_Favourite_Characters_(2000).jpg|thumb|Araki's #1-10 Favorite Characters]]<br />
*The "Suke" (助) in his name may also be pronounced as "Jo" in Japanese.<br />
*As of ''Steel Ball Run'', Josuke is Araki's favorite ''[[JoJo]]''. He explains that because of the general everyday neighborhood setting of ''[[Diamond is Unbreakable]]'', he felt more attached to Josuke, and considered him somewhat like a friend or a senior. In contrast, Jotaro was "more of someone you would admire as a hero".<ref>[http://jburogu-godzillaradio.blogspot.com/2012/01/video-subbing-manga-artist-araki.html Interview with Araki.]</ref><br />
*The identity of Josuke's savior is a commonly discussed subject in the fandom, dating back to when Part 4 was first publicized in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]].<ref name="DP15BD">[[DU Episode 15#Commentary|DU Episode 15]], [[Naokatsu Tsuda]], Blu-Ray limited edition commentary</ref> In a 1994 interview with [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (OVA)|OVA]] director, {{W|Hiroyuki Kitakubo}}, when asked about the flashback and whether it was Josuke who met himself, [[Hirohiko Araki]] replied, "It's irrelevant, that was merely Josuke's memory."<ref>{{IN|Kitakubo OVA (07/1994)|Kitakubo Special Talk (July 1994)}}</ref> [[David Production]]'s TV Anime director, [[Naokatsu Tsuda]], also inquired Araki on who the mysterious boy was during production of the anime adaptation, though Araki seemingly chose not to comment.<ref name="DP15BD" /><br />
*Josuke's surname, Higashikata, is written using the same kanji as "tōhō" (東方), the Japanese word for "eastern" or "oriental".<br />
*In the 2019 ISU World Figure Skating Championships Gala, skater {{W|Keiji Tanaka}} paid tribute to Josuke's character by cosplaying as him during a demonstration, performing to the music of the anime's main theme.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXA7nQpYHqk</ref><br />
*Josuke is scared of turtles and in [[Jotaro Kujo! Meets Josuke Higashikata]] and [[Chapter 266]] he tries to overcome this fear by touching a turtle.<br />
*Josuke had an entirely different design just like [[Iggy]] During the beginning of [[Diamond Is Unbreakable]] <br />

[[Yoshikage Kira]] is introduced, speaking as though on a date to the severed hand of a woman.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]], who is nearly ruined, alongside [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]], meet a child called [[Shigekiyo Yangu]] who likes to be called "Shigechi." Shigekiyo's hive-like [[Stand]], [[Harvest]], enables him to gather small items from the whole town. Striking a deal together, they accomplish several schemes in order to gather money, but the gains make Shigechi greedy.<br />
<br />
When the trio gets rich thanks to a winning lottery ticket, Shigechi steals the paycheck. After a chase through the streets and roofs of Morioh, Shigechi manages to corner Josuke and Okuyasu by injecting alcohol directing in their bloodstream. However, Okuyasu uses [[The Hand]] to teleport the paycheck into his hand, and Josuke tears it apart and throws the pieces into the wind. Shigechi sends Harvest after the pieces but is defenseless when Okuyasu punches him. The trio reconciles afterward.<br />
[[File:Kira arc.png|left|thumb|295x295px|[[Yoshikage Kira]], the serial killer, lurks right under the heroes' noses]]<br />
One day [[Yoshikage Kira]] enjoys a picnic with his [[Minor Items#Kira's "Girlfriends"|girlfriend]], a severed hand hidden inside a sandwich bag. Coincidentally [[Shigekiyo Yangu|Shigechi]] swaps bags with Kira by accident. Although Kira tries to stealthily retrieves the hand, Shigechi discovers Kira's secret. Kira reveals his [[Killer Queen]] which can create bombs and kills Shigechi. The boy's last action is to send a button torn from Kira's jacket to Josuke via [[Harvest]].<br />
<br />
Thus, the known [[Stand]] users of the town congregate and agree to collaborate in locating [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]] and ending his depredations.<br />
<br />
====Romantic Interlude: Yukako & Koichi====<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Yukako Yamagishi Dreams of Cinderella (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
[[Yukako Yamagishi|Yukako]] is still in love with [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] but doesn't know how to repair their relationship. Following [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]]'s advice, she meets [[Aya Tsuji]], the beautician, and manager of the [[Morioh#The Beauty Salon Cinderella|Cinderella salon]] who makes women more attractive with [[Cinderella]]. Yukako manages to win Koichi's heart but forgets to put on her lipstick, rendering her ugly.<br />
<br />
When Yukako, Koichi, and Aya meet again in the latter's salon, Aya tests Koichi by having him choose Yukako's original face from a multitude of other faces. When Koichi wants Aya to make him blind if he's mistaken, Aya is impressed by his love and gives Yukako her original face back.<br />

<br />
After Shigechi's murder, [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] and [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] find the corresponding vest of [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]]'s button in a shoe shop doubling as a clothing repair, where Kira attacks with his Stand's secondary power, [[Killer Queen#Secondary Bomb ("Sheer Heart Attack")|Sheer Heart Attack]], a miniature, invulnerable and threaded bomb. Kira leaves before Jotaro and Koichi learn his identity. Jotaro has difficulty attacking the bomb and is incapacitated while trying to protect Koichi from an explosion.<br />
<br />
Koichi calls Josuke for help and [[Stand]] evolves into [[Echoes#Echoes ACT3|Echoes ACT3]]. ACT3 can increase an object's weight and it immobilizes Sheer Heart Attack, obliging Kira to come back and fight Koichi. Although he easily defeats the boy and almost kills him, Jotaro intervenes and pummels Kira before fainting.<br />
<br />
[[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] and [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] arrive and rescue their companions. They then surround Kira, who cuts his hand and sics Sheer Heart Attack on them. Josuke uses [[Crazy Diamond]] to make Kira's hand fly back toward him to trail him, but the group learns that he has forced [[Aya Tsuji]] to alter his features with her Stand, killing her before she helps the group. Kira escapes with a new identity.<br />
<br />
[[File:Kira Face New.png|thumb|202x202px|Kira's new face]] Later, [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]], [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]], [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]], and [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] investigate [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]]'s former life and residence. The ghost of Kira's father [[Yoshihiro Kira]] appears and attacks the group from a photograph, empowered by the Stand [[Atom Heart Father]].<br />
<br />
Yoshihiro traps Jotaro and Josuke inside a room with his esoteric powers and almost beheads them, but Jotaro captures him inside a photograph featuring only the ghost. Yoshihiro escapes with a second Bow and Arrow; aiming to create a group of Stand users in order to protect his hiding son.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Kira is shown as having occupied the likeness, home and family of [[Kosaku Kawajiri]]. Formerly indifferent to her husband, [[Shinobu Kawajiri]] notices a change in "Kosaku"'s behavior, only to be charmed by him.<br />

In order to keep the heroes off his son, Yoshihiro Kira decides to create as many Stand Users as he can to sic them on those investigating him. The first one he grants a Stand is a boy.<br />
[[File:Boy2Man arc.png|thumb|220x220px|Rohan plays a dramatic game of rock-paper-scissors against [[Ken Oyanagi]]]]<br />
Later, [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]] is challenged in a series of games of rock-paper-scissors by [[Ken Oyanagi]]. Rohan refuses but Ken harasses him into accepting a game. It is then that the mangaka discovers that the boy is the user of the new Stand [[Boy II Man]], which can steal someone's power if he wins three rounds of rock-paper-scissors.<br />
<br />
On the verge of losing, Rohan manages to use [[Shizuka Joestar|Shizuka]]'s power to make things invisible to save himself, transforming Ken's "scissors" into "rock" and wins a first time. He then completely defeats Ken in their game of rock-paper-scissors fair and square.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile at the Kawajiri, Yoshikage Kira labors to adapt to his new life and repress his murderous urges; provoking the suspicion of Kosaku's spying son, [[Hayato Kawajiri|Hayato]].<br />
<br />
====Leisurely Interlude: Josuke, Rohan & the Alien====<br />
One day, [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] and [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] encounter [[Mikitaka Hazekura]], proclaiming to be an alien with the shapeshifting ability [[Earth Wind and Fire]]. Eventually convinced, Josuke befriends Mikitaka and cooperates with him in cheating money from [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]] in a game of dice by having Mikitaka become the dice. Mikataka has difficulties maintaining the masquerade and Rohan eventually suspects Josuke of cheating. Their game is interrupted anyway when Rohan accidentally sets his home on fire.<br />
<br />
Josuke and Mikitaka finally get away scot-free while Rohan's house is burned down because of a magnifying glass.<br />
<br />
====The Hunt restarts====<br />
Still sour about their game, [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]] meets Josuke again on a bus. Inside of a tunnel, he spots in the walls what appears to be a room in which a man bends over and severs the hand of an unconscious woman. Unable to convince Josuke of what he's seen, Rohan investigates the tunnel alone. Is it then that the Stand [[Highway Star]] traps Rohan in the room and absorbs his life-force to heal its user.<br />
[[File:Highway Star arc.png|thumb|220x220px|Josuke is pursued by [[Highway Star]]]]<br />
[[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] intervenes and decides to go look for the user. While Highway Star relentlessly pursues Josuke who rides a motorcycle across the streets of Morioh, the student calls [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] who discovers the location of the enemy. Josuke manages to reach the user, [[Yuya Fungami]], and beats him down.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile at the Kawajiri's, [[Shinobu Kawajiri]] accidentally kills the cat [[Tama]]. However, Kira finds it resurrected as a plant using the Stand [[Stray Cat]]. Kira and Stray Cat fight briefly and Kira has difficulties against the air-controlling Stand. However, it is soon distracted and Kira transports it in the house's attic.<br />
<br />
One day, [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]], [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]], and [[Mikitaka Hazekura|Mikitaka]] meet [[Toyohiro Kanedaichi]], a man living on a transmission tower. Toyohiro tricks Josuke into entering the tower which is his [[Stand]] [[Super Fly]]. The sole remaining person inside Super Fly cannot escape it, and Josuke and Mikitaka work together into throwing Toyohiro back in it.<br />
<br />
Toyohiro's acrobatics and knowledge of the subtleties of his Stand give him the advantage inside the tower, and Mikitaka is wounded while Josuke almost slips from the top of the tower. However, Crazy Diamond returns the energy shot at Josuke into Toyohiro and the latter yields. Toyohiro then reveals that [[Koichi]] has been taken down by another of [[Yoshihiro Kira|Yoshihiro]]'s assassins.<br />
<br />
Warned by Toyohiro about a new enemy Stand User in town, [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] and [[Yuya Fungami|Yuya]] work together to find the enemy Stand user, revealed as [[Terunosuke Miyamoto]], the new user of the Stand [[Enigma]]. Enigma traps people into paper once Terunosuke can guess what ticks they have when they are afraid. He uses [[Tomoko Higashikata|Tomoko]] to bait Josuke and manages to trap the student inside a sheet. However, Yuya intervenes and manages to save Josuke from being shredded. Subsequently, Josuke defeats Terunosuke by fusing him with a book, freeing [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] and his mother [[Tomoko Higashikata|Tomoko]].<br />
<br />
In the meantime, [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]] finally snaps and gives in to his urges, murdering a man and a woman inside their home. However, Kira notices that [[Hayato Kawajiri]] has witnessed him. When Kira confronts Hayato about this, Hayato tells Kira that he has numerous proofs that he isn't his true father and tries to intimidate the serial-killer into leaving his family unharmed.<br />
[[File:Chase arc.png|thumb|220x220px|The hunt slowly but surely closes on Kira]]<br />
As Kira must deal with Hayato, [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]] notices a photograph of [[Hayato Kawajiri|Hayato]] filming his father, but his investigation is interrupted when he welcomes [[Masazo Kinoto]], the architect supposed to repair his house. Masazo hates having his back being seen and Rohan cannot resist the temptation to look.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, he inherits the Stand [[Cheap Trick]] which attaches itself to Rohan's back and will kill him if anyone sees it. Cheap Trick is invisible to everyone but Rohan, is invulnerable, and relentlessly tries to get people to see Rohan's back. With [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]]'s help, Rohan uses the malicious spirits of the ghost alley to get rid of it.<br />
<br />
===Showdown against Yoshikage Kira===<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Another One Bites the Dust (story arc)}}<br />
{{Main|Crazy Diamond is Unbreakable (story arc)}}<br />
<br />
Kira, after having killed Hayato in anger, finds himself forced to flee Morioh. He refuses to yield and is pierced by the Arrow, which grants him the new ability [[Killer Queen#Tertiary Bomb ("Killer Queen Bites the Dust")|Bites the Dust]].<br />
<br />
Hayato is forced to revive a whole morning if anyone enquires about Kira or he informs someone about Kira, the witness having their head explode. Moreover, the death will still happen in the next time loop. During the time loops, [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]], [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]], [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]], [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] and [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] die. Cornered, Hayato tries to assassinate Kira by using [[Stray Cat]] but the attempt fails.<br />
<br />
However, Hayato manages to trick Kira into revealing his own name publicly and is heard by Josuke whom Hayato has called. Forced to retract Bites the Dust to defend himself, Kira cancels everyone's death and is cornered by Josuke and Okuyasu. Unfortunately, he uses [[Stray Cat]]s invisible air bubbles as bombs and blows a hole in Okuyasu's stomach.<br />
[[File:Kira battle arc.png|thumb|220x220px|The no-holds-barred clash between Josuke and Kira]]<br />
A fight ensues between [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] and [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]]. [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] is healed but remains unconscious. [[Josuke]] and [[Hayato Kawajiri|Hayato]] retreat into a house, where [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]]'s air bubbles prove uncannily precise in tracking him. [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] uncovers [[Yoshihiro]] and kills him for good using Kira's bubbles. Although he manages to wound Kira with a projectile, Josuke is hit by one of the bombs.<br />
<br />
Josuke, heavily wounded, confronts his foe outside. The two Stand User clash again, and while [[Killer Queen]] is weaker physically, Stray Cat's bubbles block Crazy Diamond's punches. [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] is saved at the last moment when [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] wakes up and teleports [[Stray Cat]] away from [[Killer Queen]].<br />
<br />
[[Josuke]] then pummels [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]] into the main street. [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]] is surrounded and cornered by the heroes but threatens to use a nurse to loop time again.<br />

[[File:Reimi ascends.gif|thumb|220x220px|After Kira is vanquished, Reimi can finally go to the afterlife]]<br />
[[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]] finds himself in the ghost alley after failing to activate Bites the Dust and meets [[Reimi Sugimoto]] again. Although he knows of the ghost alley and tries to make Reimi look behind her, [[Arnold]] the dog intervenes and bites his hand off, making the serial killer trip. Kira is subsequently dragged into the underworld, allowing Reimi to find peace.<br />
<br />
After she wishes goodbye to everyone, Reimi ascends to Heaven. [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] sees off [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] and [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] who are confident in the new generation's ability to protect the town, but Josuke cheekily steals his father's wallet. Every hero's subsequent life is described and it is said that the ensuing summer is eventless.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*Unlike most of the other parts which had the characters travel long distances, ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' entirely takes place in the fictional setting of [[Morioh]], exploring the small town in detail.<br />
*Leaving the Tarot and Egyptian mythology in Part 3, Part 4 primarily references popular (rock) music in its names.<br />
*Araki states that it is possible that ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' could have ended with Part 3 since the resurrection of [[Dio Brando|DIO]] was the last plot element of precedent.<ref>[http://comipress.com/article/2007/04/29/1896 Hirohiko Araki Lecture Part 3], (7): "Joseph Joestar"</ref><br />
*This part is notable for having one of the most drastic changes in art style as it progressed. At its inception, it took on the muscular, {{W|Fist of the North Star}} inspired look that was present in the previous three parts. Around the middle of the part, the various characters took on a more youthful appearance, particularly in the case of Josuke and Koichi. By the end of ''Diamond is Unbreakable'', the manga adopted the glamorous art style in which characters go from very muscular to athletic that would define the visual presentation of ''[[Vento Aureo]]'' and ''[[Stone Ocean]]''.<br />
* [[Hirohiko Araki]] Favorite Character is [[Josuke Higashikata]]<br />

<br />
====The Hunt restarts====<br />
Still sour about their game, [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]] meets Josuke again on a bus. Inside of a tunnel, he spots in the walls what appears to be a room in which a man bends over and severs the hand of an unconscious woman.

Meanwhile at the Kawajiri's, [[Shinobu Kawajiri]] accidentally kills the cat [[Tama]]. However, Kira finds it resurrected as a plant using the Stand [[Stray Cat]].

The sole remaining person inside Super Fly cannot escape it, and Josuke and Mikitaka work together into throwing Toyohiro back in it.<br />
<br />
Toyohiro's acrobatics and knowledge of the subtleties of his Stand give him the advantage inside the tower, and Mikitaka is wounded while Josuke almost slips from the top of the tower. However, Crazy Diamond returns the energy shot at Josuke into Toyohiro and the latter yields. Toyohiro then reveals that [[Koichi]] has been taken down by another of [[Yoshihiro Kira|Yoshihiro]]'s assassins.<br />
<br />
Warned by Toyohiro about a new enemy Stand User in town, [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] and [[Yuya Fungami|Yuya]] work together to find the enemy Stand user, revealed as [[Terunosuke Miyamoto]], the new user of the Stand [[Enigma]]. Enigma traps people into paper once Terunosuke can guess what ticks they have when they are afraid. He uses [[Tomoko Higashikata|Tomoko]] to bait Josuke and manages to trap the student inside a sheet. However, Yuya intervenes and manages to save Josuke from being shredded. Subsequently, Josuke defeats Terunosuke by fusing him with a book, freeing [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] and his mother [[Tomoko Higashikata|Tomoko]].<br />
<br />
In the meantime, [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]] finally snaps and gives in to his urges, murdering a man and a woman inside their home. However, Kira notices that [[Hayato Kawajiri]] has witnessed him. When Kira confronts Hayato about this, Hayato tells Kira that he has numerous proofs that he isn't his true father and tries to intimidate the serial-killer into leaving his family unharmed.<br />
[[File:Chase arc.png|thumb|220x220px|The hunt slowly but surely closes on Kira]]<br />
As Kira must deal with Hayato, [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]] notices a photograph of [[Hayato Kawajiri|Hayato]] filming his father, but his investigation is interrupted when he welcomes [[Masazo Kinoto]], the architect supposed to repair his house. Masazo hates having his back being seen and Rohan cannot resist the temptation to look.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, he inherits the Stand [[Cheap Trick]] which attaches itself to Rohan's back and will kill him if anyone sees it. Cheap Trick is invisible to everyone but Rohan, is invulnerable, and relentlessly tries to get people to see Rohan's back. With [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]]'s help, Rohan uses the malicious spirits of the ghost alley to get rid of it.<br />

During the time loops, [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]], [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]], [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]], [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] and [[Koichi Hirose|Koichi]] die. Cornered, Hayato tries to assassinate Kira by using [[Stray Cat]] but the attempt fails.<br />
<br />
However, Hayato manages to trick Kira into revealing his own name publicly and is heard by Josuke whom Hayato has called. Forced to retract Bites the Dust to defend himself, Kira cancels everyone's death and is cornered by Josuke and Okuyasu. Unfortunately, he uses [[Stray Cat]]s invisible air bubbles as bombs and blows a hole in Okuyasu's stomach.<br />
[[File:Kira battle arc.png|thumb|220x220px|The no-holds-barred clash between Josuke and Kira]]<br />
A fight ensues between [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] and [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]]. [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] is healed but remains unconscious. [[Josuke]] and [[Hayato Kawajiri|Hayato]] retreat into a house, where [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]]'s air bubbles prove uncannily precise in tracking him. [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] uncovers [[Yoshihiro]] and kills him for good using Kira's bubbles. Although he manages to wound Kira with a projectile, Josuke is hit by one of the bombs.<br />
<br />
Josuke, heavily wounded, confronts his foe outside. The two Stand User clash again, and while [[Killer Queen]] is weaker physically, Stray Cat's bubbles block Crazy Diamond's punches. [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] is saved at the last moment when [[Okuyasu Nijimura|Okuyasu]] wakes up and teleports [[Stray Cat]] away from [[Killer Queen]].<br />
<br />
[[Josuke]] then pummels [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]] into the main street. [[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]] is surrounded and cornered by the heroes but threatens to use a nurse to loop time again.<br />

[[File:Reimi ascends.gif|thumb|220x220px|After Kira is vanquished, Reimi can finally go to the afterlife]]<br />
[[Yoshikage Kira|Kira]] finds himself in the ghost alley after failing to activate Bites the Dust and meets [[Reimi Sugimoto]] again. Although he knows of the ghost alley and tries to make Reimi look behind her, [[Arnold]] the dog intervenes and bites his hand off, making the serial killer trip. Kira is subsequently dragged into the underworld, allowing Reimi to find peace.<br />
<br />
After she wishes goodbye to everyone, Reimi ascends to Heaven. [[Josuke Higashikata|Josuke]] sees off [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] and [[Joseph Joestar|Joseph]] who are confident in the new generation's ability to protect the town, but Josuke cheekily steals his father's wallet. Every hero's subsequent life is described and it is said that the ensuing summer is eventless.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*Unlike most of the other parts which had the characters travel long distances, ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' entirely takes place in the fictional setting of [[Morioh]], exploring the small town in detail.<br />
*Leaving the Tarot and Egyptian mythology in Part 3, Part 4 primarily references popular (rock) music in its names.<br />
*Araki states that it is possible that ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' could have ended with Part 3 since the resurrection of [[Dio Brando|DIO]] was the last plot element of precedent.<ref>[http://comipress.com/article/2007/04/29/1896 Hirohiko Araki Lecture Part 3], (7): "Joseph Joestar"</ref><br />
*This part is notable for having one of the most drastic changes in art style as it progressed. At its inception, it took on the muscular, {{W|Fist of the North Star}} inspired look that was present in the previous three parts. Around the middle of the part, the various characters took on a more youthful appearance, particularly in the case of Josuke and Koichi. By the end of ''Diamond is Unbreakable'', the manga adopted the glamorous art style in which characters go from very muscular to athletic that would define the visual presentation of ''[[Vento Aureo]]'' and ''[[Stone Ocean]]''.<br />
* [[Hirohiko Araki]] Favorite Character is [[josuke higashikata]]<br />
