Trivia

  • A minor point of controversy is the spelling of Joseph's name. Both in an official profile and on his tombstone during Part 2, his name is spelled "Josef Joestar" in plain English, while in part 3 his name is given as "Joseph". One explanation for this could be that Joseph naturalized his name to appear more American at some point (many immigrants after both World Wars did this in real life).
  • His catchphrase (used often in Part 3) is, "Oh! My! God!". Sometimes, this will alternate with "My God!" or other such variations.
  • He has survived three plane crashes.
  • Joseph has appeared in 3 story arcs, tying with Dio for second place in most appearances, and behind Jotaro who's appeared in 4 story arcs.
  • Joseph's personality and hairstyle may have influenced the detective manga Kindaichi Case Files, as both protagonists incorporate tricks to confuse their enemies.
  • Joseph is the only person to be able to use both hamon and a stand of his own - though he makes little use of his Hamon power after obtaining his stand. Even when he did use his Hamon power, it rarely did him any good, especially when fighting The Empress and Dio, as neither was affected by his Hamon attacks, although the Hamon was able to temporarily shield him from Dio.
  • In the PS1 game, his younger self (circa part 2) is an unlockable character.
  • If his younger self is affected by Alessi's stand in the PS1 game, he is seen holding a Superman comic
