J'aspire à devenir un véritable gentleman ! Quelque fois, un gentleman devra être courageux et combattre même si son opposant est plus grand que lui et qu'il sait qu'il va perdre ! (ぼくは本当の紳士をめざしているからだ！相手が大きいヤツだからって負けるとわかっているからって 紳士は勇気を持って戦わなくてはならない時があるからだぞッ！！)
Jonathan Joestar (ジョナサン・ジョースター, Jonasan Jōsutā) est le protagoniste de la première partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Phantom Blood, et le premier JoJo de la série. Son héritage s'étend sur les six premières parties, avec des personnages majeurs comme Joseph Joestar et Jotaro Kujo qui sont ses descendants.
Jonathan est l'unique fild du riche et noble George Joestar I et Mary Joestar. Il est un homme honnête, vertueux et positif dont la vie est marquée par de multiples tragédies alors qu'il la partage avec Dio Brando, son frère adoptif et le méchant principal de la série. En combattant Dio, Jonathan devient un manieur d'Onde sous la tutèle du maître Will Anthonio Zeppeli.
Jonathan adhère aux codes vestimentaires de l'Ere Victorienne et ses vêtements consistent en une chemise colletée, une paire de haut-de-chausses complétée avec des longues chaussettes et des chaussures de ville. Ces vêtement était au choix, accompagné un blazer, une veste, une cravate ou des bretelles. En tant que membre de la noblesse, il pouvait remplacer sa cravate avec un un mouchoir de col comme son père.[1]
A la boxe, Jonathan porte un débardeur, des shorts et des gants de boxe, une tenue adaptée au sport.
Avec Erina, Jonathan porte aussi une casquette et une paire de hautes bottes..
A la nage, Jonathan porte un maillot de corps rayé verticalement.
Age Adulte
A l'age de 20 ans, Jonathan est une grand homme (195 cm/6'5") avec un corps très musclé mais la prestance d'un gentleman. Ses vêtements vont typiquement refléter son statut de noble avec des chemises, des costumes, des cravates, noeuds papillon et des bottes.
Chez lui, Jonathan porte un costume quasi-formel avec une chemise colletée, une cravate, et une veste aux manches roulées.[2]
Au rugby, il porte une chemise de rugby rayée horizontalement, un short et des longues chaussettes.[2]
En allant à Ogre Street, Jonathan porte une veste et un pantalon rembourrée avec un deerstalker et une cape.[2]
Pendant son entraînement avec Zeppeli, il ne porte plus qu'un débardeur, des bracelets et à un moment une sorte de petit diadème.[3]
Après avoir battu Tarkus, il porte un débardeur qui s'étend pour couvrir les épaules. L'anime ajoute des épaulières.[5]
Pendant sa lune de miel et son dernieur combat contre Dio, Jonathan porte un costume formel avec chemise colletée avec des franges sur les épaules sous une longue veste et porte une cravate.[5]

I... I'm no match for Dio... but I can't afford to lose now! If I lose, I'll be living in Dio's shadow for the rest of my life. I have to fight to reclaim Erina's honor!
During his childhood, Jonathan was proud and mischievous, yet gentle. Despite already aspiring to be a "true gentleman",[6] Jonathan lacked manners and mostly behaved like a normal child. His mother having died before he could remember her, and his fellow boys ostracizing him because of his status left Jonathan somewhat lonely.[7] While at first, Jonathan didn't have his future strength of will, Dio unwittingly became the catalyst of his growth by pushing him to the edge and humiliating his girlfriend Erina Pendleton.[8] However, he did have the kindness and courage to immediately jump to Erina's rescue against two bullies bigger than him despite not knowing her.[6]
First and foremost, Jonathan strives to become a "true gentleman." He carries his Joestar name with pride, never betraying the code of conduct he has set for himself and will treat any fellow human with respect unless they prove evil.
JoJo is determined to rid the world of Dio's evil
Jonathan also possesses a fierce inner strength and the drive to face and overcome conflict, which Dio calls an "explosive power". That drive, fueled by his affection to his friends and loved ones, enabled him to overcome the direst situations, notably managing to save his wife Erina when their boat was overcome with zombies and he was fatally hit in the throat.[9] Jonathan fights for what he believes in, and once he is committed to something, he won't back down until the deed is done. During his journey to find a cure for his father's illness, he was ambushed by a band of misfit hoodlums. He did not so much as flinch as he grasped an assailant's knife within his hand, saying he had much more riding on the fight than merely four fingers.[10]
Explaining his reason for going easy on Speedwagon
As a gentleman, Jonathan is also kind and positive. Jonathan has a mindset where he tries to imagine the consequences his actions would have on other people, even if they appear to be enemies.[11] He is gentle and sympathetic, feeling pain even as he vanquishes a zombified copper. Despite his skill in fighting, he will never seriously harm a person without a valid reason. Even after everything Dio has done, Jonathan still considers him his brother, and sheds tears for him.[12] His courteous nature as well as his mental fortitude and ability to withstand fear and pain, is the main reason Speedwagon decides to aid him on his journey. During his life, Jonathan has always had an impulse to save others, beginning with Erina, and ending with his thought of a nearby baby just as he was agonizing from Dio's attack.[13]
Yet Jonathan can feel righteous fury at the evilness of his foes and will conduct justice by vanquishing them. He admitted that his reason for fighting Dio wasn't out of duty for saving the world, but to avenge his loved ones that Dio had killed.[14] Moreover, he has no pity for truly despicable individuals he is not familiar with such as Doobie.[15]
Avec son courage et sa détermination en tant que premier JoJo, Jonathan créé un standard de bravoure pour le reste de la série.
Fasciné par le Masque de Pierre, Jonathan a essayé de l'étudier et a même débuté des études d'archéologue[16]. Cependant, il n'a jamais pensé à mettre le masque sur qui que ce soit et n'a donc pas découvert sa véritable fonction.
Pouvoirs et compétences
Athlétisme
Jonathan a vécu une vie mouvementée. Durant son enfance, il était connu comme un boxeur compétent et jouait au rugby avec Dio Brando durant ses années à l'université, étant l'un des meilleurs joueurs de son équipe.
Even prior to learning the Ripple, Jonathan was able to hold his own against three thugs, Speedwagon among them, with sheer might and willpower. He was capable of wielding various weaponry held by the suits of armor in the Joestar Mansion. He had also performed incredible feats of strength, such as jumping from the hilt of a sword and hoisting himself up to the second floor while doing a flip over the guardrails, despite his arm being inhibited by a spear pierced into his pectorals. Perhaps his greatest display of strength was after being revitalized and empowered by Zeppeli's Ultimate Deep Pass Overdrive, where he ripped through 3 steel bars clutching his neck, a feat that even the mighty zombie Tarkus outright admitted he was incapable of.
Intelligence
Jonathan est un homme intelligent et un tacticien compétent au combat. Il créé de nouveaux stratagèmes en plein combat pour vaincre des ennemis qui lui sont physiquement supérieurs comme Bruford et Dio.
Sur le plan académique, Jonathan est diplômé de l'université après avoir écrit une thèse en archéologie qui est célébrée.[17] Il a étudié méticuleusement le Masque de Pierre, ayant même identifié les points du cerveau qu'il percait[10], mais il n'a pas découvert sa vraie fonction.
In a fight, Jonathan is adept at thinking of moves on the spot and using the environment to his advantage. On several occasions, Jonathan was quick to formulate plans even in a moment of crisis. Still agonizing over the death of his father, Jonathan had to fight a vampirized Dio and quickly thought about burning down the Joestar Mansion in order to cancel out Dio's regenerative abilities. Likewise, agonizing from a wound in the throat which also led to a lack of oxygen going to his brain, Jonathan managed to use his last Ripple on Wang Chan to dispose of a horde of zombies and Dio at the same time by controlling Wang Chan's body to make the boat explode. Jonathan even notably used his belt as a supplementary whip before ever acquiring the Ripple, as well exploited the fact that Windknight's Lot was a coal mining town to deduce that a lake would have air pockets at its bottom to surprise Bruford with an unexpected production of Ripple.
Jonathan has an arsenal of ancient martial art techniques, most inherited from Will A. Zeppeli and involving Ripple, at his disposal. Some are his original creation, most ending with "Overdrive".
Jonathan launches his fist forward and strikes his opponent. First used by Zeppeli, the attack involves a Ripple breathing technique that dislocates and stretches the joints to extend the arm and give it greater reach while also using the same Ripple to dull the pain caused by the move. Due to the increased length, the strike immediately reaches the opponent's face first, which from that perspective seems "zoomed in."
Jonathan charges a Ripple wave through his arm and releases it into a solid object, such as a wall or partition. The Ripple can travel through and reach anything on the other side, and anything hit by the Ripple is sent flying in a spiral. If the enemy is an Undead, the Ripple will enter their bloodstream and destroy them from the inside.
Charging the Ripple into one hand, Jonathan can create a Ripple of flame. He is able to transfer over this flame to another part of his body, and anything that touches that body part has a chance of catching fire.
Turquoise Blue Overdrive(青縁波紋疾走Tākoizu Burū Ōbādoraibu, lit. Turquoise Blue Ripple Dash)
Appropriately the strongest place to use the Ripple, Jonathan can release high powered tempests while underwater with enough force to blast enemies away. In most cases, a good portion of the water is propelled outward as well, draining something like a lake to waist-high depth.
It is a devastating and extremely strong Ripple-infused strike with power comparable to the sun itself and has the ability to completely obliterate the Undead. Jonathan does a rapid-rush of Ripple-infused punches and the attack is notable for producing a very clear-yellow color akin to sunlight.
Life Magnetism Overdrive(生命磁気への波紋疾走Seimei jiki e no Ōbādoraibu, lit. Existence Magnetism Ripple Dash)
With the aid of Zeppeli, Jonathan can draw all the leaves in the immediate area and magnetize them together to form one giant leaf, which can be used as an impromptu-hang glider. Human bodies have a faint magnetic field and can act as a living magnet when the power of the magnetic field is increased by this Overdrive. That magnetic field is transferred into the leaves, creating a massive magnetic sheet.
Compétences
Au-delà des attaques d'Onde classique, celle-ci a plusieurs usages hors des combat. Un manieur d'Onde compétent peut marcher sur l'eau, renforcer des objets, sauter plus haut et plus encore.
L'onde peut guérir des blessures comme des fractures et aussi diminuer la douleur. Jonathan a notamment pu instanténament guérir son bras en respirant pour créer de l'onde alors qu'il aurait fallut plusieurs mois pour guérir. L'onde peut aussi revivre des fleurs germées pour les faire éclore. Durant son combat contre Tarkus, le Deep Pass Overdrive de Zeppeli lui a permis de guérir son cou cassé.
Jonathan charge un liquide dans un conteneur avec l'onde. L'onde se diffuse à travers le corps du manieur puis dans l'environnement, ce qui lui permet de sentir qui il y a à proximité, même à travers les murs.
Onde collante et onde repoussante(くっつく波紋とはじく波紋Kuttsuku Hamon to Hajiku Hamon)
Un manieur d'onde peut utiliser l'onde pour repousser des objets ou même pour se coller à eux. Zeppeli utilise cette technique pour marcher sur l'eau. Jonathan peut expulser le venin des serpents de Doobie de son corps.
Ceux entraînés au Sendō peuvent gagner des mouvement rapides, de l'agilité et un jeu de jambes impressionant qui permet de donner l'impression de créer des clones de soi en marchant.
Un manieur d'onde peut hypnotiser des animaux et d'autres personne avec l'onde et les touchant. Jonathan ordonne à des serpents d'attaquer leur maître, Doobie.
Armes
Luck and Pluck(幸運と勇気Rakku to Purakku, lit. Good Luck & Courage)
Bruford donna à Jonathan son épée "Luck", laquelle va jouer un rôle crucial dans le combat contre Dio car elle permettait à Jonathan d'attaquer Dio avec l'onde sans le toucher avec ses poings.[18]
DIO avait utilisé un Stand ressemblant Hermit Purple en même temps que The World parce que le corps de Jonathan lui-même avait acquis un Stand.[19] Comme Hermit Purple, il permet de faire des photographies psychiques et touchant un appareil photo, et DIO pouvait traquer Joestars et leur alliés durant la partie 3.
According to the JoJo novel, JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE OVER HEAVEN, this Stand shares the same name with Hermit Purple and is called "Hermit Purple #2". In the subsequent novel JORGE JOESTAR, this Stand is instead named "The Passion" and takes the form of a crown of thorns. The canonicity of the novels is questionable as neither is written by Hirohiko Araki.
Relations
Les nobles personnages de Phantom Blood
Famille
George Joestar I: In his youth, Jonathan's father was very strict on him, correcting his lack of table manners and berating his studies, while ignoring the harm that Dio was bringing on his son. This was perhaps made worse by the fact that Jonathan's mother had died some years ago, hardening George and causing him to be harsher on his son. Regardless, Jonathan still loves his father greatly, angrily beating up Dio, whom he had been friends with for the past seven years, for poisoning his father. When Dio throws a knife at Jonathan, George sacrifices himself to block the knife and comments that "it's not so bad to die in your son's arms".
Mary Joestar: Though Jonathan's interactions with his mother are never seen as she is killed while he was still an infant, he is shown to love her greatly, looking at her picture wistfully and crying right after Dio ruins his life with his arrival.
Danny: Jonathan and Danny have forged a strong bond since Danny saved Jonathan from drowning in the river. Jonathan is shown to be very angry when Danny was kicked by Dio and had sobbed uncontrollably when the household had buried Danny. Danny still shows up in his master's memories, when Jonathan remembers having fought with Danny over a bone.
Erina Pendleton: Jonathan's love interest and eventually his wife first hands him a handkerchief shortly after he is beaten down by bullies. Jonathan professes his love for her afterward, which she is shown to accept at least in part until Dio enters and steals her first kiss in order to upset the two. Erina does return after the Joestar mansion burns down, however, and nurses Jonathan back to health, igniting the relationship between the two once more. The two are married after Jonathan manages to defeat Dio with his Ripple, and their relationship continues well into Erina's old age, where her memories of Jonathan prevent her from entering into a relationship with Robert Speedwagon.
Giorno Giovanna: Many years after Jonathan's death, DIO uses Jonathan's body to get around in the world now, during which he sires 4 children, one of which is Giorno. Of all the children, Giorno is born first and carries the birthmark thanks to Jonathan's DNA present in his body. While a slightly darker side of Giorno exists, resembling DIO's ruthlessness (albeit towards evil people), he retains a noble heart and desire to help innocents, closer to Jonathan's ideals.
Joseph Joestar: Joseph is the grandson of Jonathan. Joseph had no real knowledge of his grandfather prior to his battle with Straizo because of Robert E. O. Speedwagon keeping the events of Jonathan's battle secret. However, Joseph holds great respect towards him due to his relationship with Erina and friendship with Speedwagon. When Caesar insults Jonathan, it enrages Joseph for bringing up the past. His respect for his grandfather is even more apparent in his later years, as he's shown to be angry that DIO is now using Jonathan's body as his own.
Amis
Robert E. O. Speedwagon: Jonathan's most loyal friend. An enemy at first, he later joined Jonathan on his quest after seeing the protagonist's dedication and courteous nature. In his later years, he founded The Speedwagon Foundation, which has become the Joestar Family's most useful asset in battling Stand users and supernatural research.
Will Anthonio Zeppeli: Jonathan, upon meeting Zeppeli, was initially perplexed by his appearance and strange abilities. After Zeppeli explains his actions and the significance of the Ripple, Jonathan grows to trust Zeppeli completely and looks up to him as a mentor. Zeppeli eventually sacrifices himself to save Jonathan and transfers his energy and life force to him, moments before dying. Jonathan tearfully avenges Zeppeli by killing Tarkus.
Jonathan's friends
Poco: As with the rest of his party, Jonathan felt it necessary to look after Poco during his battle against Dio and his undead army. He takes it upon himself to save Poco's sister during their infiltration of Dio's castle.
Tonpetty: Given the short time-sharing, their relationship was nothing more than cordial respect and empathy with them over the death of Zeppeli.
Dire: Dire died too fast to exchange more than a few words with him. However, it is Jonathan who takes revenge on his hands against Dio.
Straizo: Given the short time-sharing, their relationship was nothing more than cordial respect and empathy with them over the death of Zeppeli. However after Jonathan's death, it is Straizo who adopts the child that Jonathan saves and gives to Erina and eventually teaches the child in the ways of the Ripple. Since Straizo's adoptive daughter married his son that would essentially make them brothers-in-law.
Ennemis
Dio Brando: In their childhood, Dio and Jonathan do not get along well due to Dio's antagonism towards Jonathan and his ability to both outshine him and ruin his relationships greatly. Years later at Hugh Hudson Academy, Jonathan is shown to have become friendly with Dio, though Jonathan still suspects that something is suspicious about Dio's behavior, while Dio had been plotting to take over the Joestar household. Their antagonism reaches a peak when Dio poisons, and later kills, Jonathan's father and transforms into a vampire. Regardless, both maintain some degree of respect towards one another, as shown when Jonathan suicidally attempts to pin Dio on a pointed statue as the Joestar mansion burned down & destroyed his body in their final battle, and Dio acknowledges Jonathan shortly before attempting to take over Jonathan's body. In the end, Jonathan failed to stop Dio and his body is possessed by him. Their relationship sparks a legacy that continues well into the future parts of the series.
Wang Chan: As the man who gave Dio the poison that was used to try and kill his father, Jonathan despised Wang Chan. Unlike Dio, Wang Chan had no respect for Jonathan and constantly insulted him. During his final battle with Dio, Jonathan used the last of his Ripple to kill Wang Chan and use his body to blow up the ship and Dio with it.
Tarkus: Jonathan was originally awestruck at Tarkus having learned of him in history books, but after he destroyed the remains of his comrade Bruford, Jonathan lost all respect for him. The two would later battle in a castle chained together and said battle would prompt Zeppeli's death, and out of anger and sadness Jonathan destroyed Tarkus.
Bruford: Like Tarkus, Jonathan highly respected Bruford due to his reputation as a great fighter and knight. After their battle, Bruford also grew to respect Jonathan and gave him his sword before his death.
Jack the Ripper: Because he was one of Dio's minions and an infamous serial killer, Jonathan knew Jack was a threat and had to be stopped. In the end, Jonathan destroyed Jack with his Ripple.
I strive to be a true gentleman! There are times when a gentleman has to be courageous and fight, even when his opponent is bigger than he is and he knows he's going to lose! (ぼくは本当の紳士をめざしているからだ！相手が大きいヤツだからって負けるとわかっているからって 紳士は勇気を持って戦わなくてはならない時があるからだぞッ！！, Boku wa hontō no shinshi o mezashite irukarada! Aite ga ōkī yatsudakaratte makeru to wakatte irukaratte shinshi wa yūki o motte tatakawanakute wa naranai toki ga arukarada zo!!)
I... I'm no match for [Dio]... but I can't afford to lose now! If I lose, I'll be living in Dio's shadow for the rest of my life. I have to fight to reclaim Erina's honor!
So... that Stone Mask... it has given birth to a monster! Frankly, I'm scared! But I can't let you remain in this world, Dio! I never expected the Stone Mask that I was inquisitively researching to be a tool for creating demons... It's my fault... I have to fight!
Dio! I'll reveal my feelings to you... It's disgraceful as a gentleman but honestly, right now, Jonathan Joestar... To avenge his friends... Dio! I will kill you!
Maybe we really are two as one... I even feel a bizarre friendship between us. And now, our fates have intertwined... They'll disappear together as the ship explodes.
Jonathan's name was derived at a Denny's where Araki and his first editor, Ryosuke Kabashima, had their first meeting pertaining to the JoJo series.[20] The two had decided on "Jonathan" as the series' protagonist, however, Araki also wanted the initials to match in a way similar to the American filmmaker, Steven Spielberg (S.S). They eventually landed on the name, "Jonathan Joestar" (J.J) and thus the nickname "JoJo" was born.[21] Araki mentions he was not referencing anything in particular when he chose the first name.[22]
Jonathan was rumored to be named after "Jonathan's Family Restaurant," however, both Araki and Kabashima confirm this is an urban myth. Araki had brought up the name during a 2006 interview, but he states the interviewer had mentioned it and he just used it by accident.[20]
In Jump Comics Volume 1, there is a typographical error where Jonathan uses the line 何をするだァーッ (Nani o suru da) instead of 何をするんだァーッ (Nani o surun da). This error was not fixed for 15 years until the 66th printing and has since then been replicated in other works such as Phantom Blood (PS2 Game) and All Star Battle.
According to JOJO A-GO!GO!, the ability DIO uses during Stardust Crusaders, to create a vision on a crystal ball, is actually a Stand power which awoke in Jonathan's body.[23]
Jonathan has a similar appearance and physique to Hokuto no Ken's Kenshiro.
Araki stated in JoJonium Vol. 1 that Jonathan was difficult for him to design. He wanted to create a "first Joestar" that could function as a symbol of purity and dignity rather than a unique, fresh character. However, there were limitations on how he could write the character due to being a "symbol of justice", so Araki found himself unsure where to take the character.[24]
Jonathan is the only character to appear in every chapter of the respective part they were introduced in, as he is in every chapter of Phantom Blood.
Due to the concept of the Joestar Birthmark not being introduced until Stardust Crusaders, Jonathan is not shown to have it in the manga. Later adaptations do show Jonathan's birthmark, such as the 2000 OVA during the flashback showing Jonathan's death, or the 2012 anime when he defeats Tarkus.
