I, Jotaro Kujo, will end you myself.[1] (てめーはこの空条承太郎がじきじにブチのめす)
—Chapter 180: High Priestess, Part 2

Jotaro Kujo is the main face of Eyes of Heaven, appearing as the game's primary protagonist, and was consequently one of the first confirmed characters for the game (alongside Part 2 Joseph, Caesar, Stroheim, Kakyoin, Part 4 Josuke, and Diego).

Using the Stand User (スタンド使い, Sutando Tsukai) style, Jotaro is designed to specialise in close-range combat, having high speed and damage output, while also being versatile enough to deal with distant enemies.

Daisuke Ono reprises his voice acting role from All-Star Battle, having also voiced Jotaro in the Stardust Crusaders anime adaptation. He expresses how this game is the crystallization of the love that JoJo fans have for the series, and how it's a work that will lead into the future, becoming the foundation for passing JoJo to the next generation.[2]

In the game's first demo, Kakyoin was Jotaro's default partner, and Jotaro and Kakyoin are the only two characters who have appeared in both of the game's two demos.

Moveset

As a Stand User, Jotaro is one of many characters with wildly varied abilities that grant him uniqueness in battle.

Style/Specials/etc
I stopped time...

Jotaro instantly stops time for roughly three seconds. His partner and opponents are unable to move, and he is able to initiate any action or attack with impunity. Exclusive to Jotaro is the ability to pick up and throw his opponents while time is stopped, even at each other, heavily damaging them on contact. However, other time-stopping characters may activate their own ability to enter Jotaro's stopped time. This ability's cooldown is equal to 40 counts of the battle timer, making it the longest cooldown of any ability in the game.

  • A special variation of "I stopped time..." becomes available under specific conditions, causing the camera to dramatically zoom into Jotaro as he stops time while the battle pauses completely, thus providing him impunity when activating it.
    1. Both Jotaro's partner and one opponent must be Retired.
    2. Jotaro must perform a combo route of Normal > Normal > Powerful Attack on the remaining opponent (i.e. the universal launcher combo).
    3. "I stopped time..." must be immediately initiated following the launching hit.
Star Finger!

Star Platinum explosively hyperextends its fingers out and swings them in a wide arc, sending opponents caught flying.

ORA, ORA!

Star Platinum unleashes a barrage of 22 punches, sending opponents caught flying on the final hit. If the attack button is rapidly pressed, the attack can be extended to add up to 10 more punches.

I'll kill you as you take your next breath.

After a short delay, Star Platinum inhales with great strength to pull opponents in, giving Jotaro the chance to attack first. This move can be 'blocked', but the pull effect cannot be nullified.

ORAAAA!

Star Platinum flies forward and delivers a heavy ground pound that kicks up debris, knocking opponents to the ground hard enough for them to bounce. This attack can also hit opponents that are down.

EX - Star Finger!

The skill initiates quicker and Jotaro is invincible upon activation. Instead of sending opponents flying, the attack itself will instead leave them crumpling, opening them up to further attack.

EX - ORA, ORA!

The skill initiates quicker and Jotaro is invincible upon activation. The punches are thrown faster and do more damage.

Dual Heat Attacks
Solo - ORA, ORA, ORA!

Star Platinum begins by punching the opponent off their feet. Jotaro slides his finger along the rim of his hat (a callback to his fight with Kakyoin) before Star Platinum pummels the opponent in real-time, delivering a final punch to the abdomen that sends them flying.

With Kakyoin - Use the edge of the ring — just like sumo.

Kakyoin holds the opponent in place with Hierophant Green, allowing Jotaro and Star Platinum to pull them in by Hierophant Green's tail and unleash a barrage of punches that sends them flying. Kakyoin appears once more behind the enemy mid-air to deliver an Emerald Splash. Throughout the whole attack, Jotaro and Kakyoin converse about Sumo, referencing the events in the Wheel of Fortune chapters.

With Polnareff - Let's put the final nail in the coffin.

Jotaro and Polnareff summon Star Platinum and Silver Chariot to take turns attacking the opponent. Star Platinum follows with an uppercut, and the two of them begin yelling out their Stand Cries ("ORAORAORA!" and "HORAHORAHORA!") while pummeling and stabbing the opponent, respectively. This attack references how they defeat Alessi in Chapter 209.

With Old Joseph - It's not cheating if the secret doesn't get out!

Joseph jumps into the air and tries to snare the opponent with Hermit Purple, only to miss. Briefly shocked and emoting his iconic "OH MY GOD!" as Jotaro expresses disappointment, he drops the facade to reveal that he had tied the opponent with a rope during his previous attack, subsequently sending a Ripple current through the rope to shock them as Jotaro and Star Platinum move in to barrage them into submission.

With Jolyne - The Perfect Angle

Star Platinum and Stone Free send the opponent into the air with a dual uppercut, before Jolyne wraps them in a cocoon made of Stone Free's string. After Jotaro confirms the best angle to hit, they pummel it with both of their Stands.

In the semifinals, Jotaro returns in two different teams: paired with Kakyoin, and paired with DIO. The team with Kakyoin is eliminated by Kars and Pet Shop in the first round, while the team with DIO defeats Mariah and Esidisi in the first round, but is eliminated by Kars and Pet Shop in the second round.

Jotaro (Part 6)

Jotaro from Part 6, Stone Ocean, only appears in a screenshot in the credits of the game, and has a few voice samples that the player can set as their online player card quote. However, he was initially planned to be playable as an alternate costume for Part 3 Jotaro as part of the DLC pack that included the Tequila Joseph, Wes Bluemarine, and Deadman's Question Kira costumes. Several unused voices and interactions with characters remain for him in the game's data.[3]

Jotaro Kujo (Part 4) was confirmed as a separate character along with the game's release date as a first-print edition character, similar to the original Yoshikage Kira in 'All-Star Battle'. He became available by default in international releases. Part 4 Jotaro cannot be partnered with Part 3 Jotaro.

Daisuke Ono reprises his role as Part 4 Jotaro's voice actor, and would later appear as his voice actor again in the Diamond is Unbreakable anime adaptation.

Costumes

Moveset

Part 4 Jotaro has a very similar set of abilities to his Part 3 counterpart, including the same combo attacks, with a number of differences both obvious and minute to set them apart.

Style/Specials/etc
Style Action - Star Platinum The World!

Jotaro instantly stops time for roughly three seconds. His partner and opponents are unable to move, and he is able to initiate any action or attack with impunity. Exclusive to Jotaro is the ability to pick up and throw his opponents while time is stopped, even at each other, heavily damaging them on contact. However, other time-stopping characters may activate their own ability to enter Jotaro's stopped time. This ability's cooldown is equal to 40 counts of the battle timer, making it the longest cooldown of any ability in the game.

    1. Both Jotaro's partner and one opponent must be Retired.
    2. Jotaro must perform a combo route of Normal > Normal > Powerful Attack on the remaining opponent (i.e. the universal launcher combo).
    3. "Star Platinum The World!" must be immediately initiated following the launching hit.
Star Finger

Star Platinum explosively hyperextends its fingers out and swings them in a wide arc, leaving opponents crumpling and open to further attack.

You're going to get even uglier now. Well, your face will, at least...

Star Platinum unleashes a barrage of 17 punches, sending opponents caught flying on the final hit. Jotaro can cancel out of the final hit with "If I throw this bearing..."

If I throw this bearing...

Star Platinum flicks a ball bearing at his target with some homing capabilities, sending them flying on impact. The ending of the skill can be canceled via Sidestep or Style Action.

ORAAA!

Star Platinum flies forward and delivers a heavy ground pound that kicks up debris, knocking opponents to the ground hard enough for them to bounce. This attack can also hit opponents that are down.

EX - You're going to get even uglier now. Well, your face will, at least...

The skill initiates quicker and Jotaro is invincible upon activation. 14 more punches are added for increased damage, and the final hit sends opponents flying a long distance away.

EX - If I throw this bearing...

Star Platinum flicks 3 ball bearings one after the other, each with increased speed and damage. A single ball bearing can instantly Guard Break opponents.

Dual Heat Attack - I hate things that are a pain in the ass...

Star Platinum begins by punching the opponent off their feet. Jotaro slides his finger along the rim of his hat before Star Platinum pummels the opponent, delivering a final punch to the abdomen that sends them flying.

JoJolities

He appears in the post-credit scene's new timeline retelling of the beginning of Part 4. He asks Koichi directions to the Higashikata household as per the original events, but is soon revealed to have brought a young Jolyne with him. He interrupts his conversation with Koichi to advise Jolyne not to stray too far and be careful to cross the road, or else his wife would be sad about it. Part 4 Jotaro also makes an appearance in the group shot for Diamond is Unbreakable during the credits.

If placed in a match with anyone from the third Joestar Group, partner or opponent, they will not recognize him at first but soon decide to see how strong Star Platinum is after 10 years.

Tournament

Part 4 Jotaro was paired with Diego Brando (Parallel World), having been placed in the F Block series of battles to be incorporated into the main Tournament. They defeated Josuke Higashikata (JJL) and Narciso Anasui in the first round, but were eliminated by Bruno Bucciarati and Trish Una in the second.
