All-Star Battle R ★ Josuke Higashikata
Josuke Higashikata (東方 仗助, Higashikata Jōsuke) was confirmed for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1] He was 1 of 15 playable characters during the EVO 2022 Demo on August 5.[3]
His moveset is fundamentally the same as his from All-Star Battle, with a few tweaks being made to both balance the character and fit him into the overall gameplay tweaks that All-Star Battle R brought.
In the English localization of the game, Josuke's Stand, Crazy Diamond, is localized as "Shining Diamond", carried on from its All-Star Battle debut.
Replacing Josuke's previous voice actor, Wataru Hatano, is Yuki Ono, who has voiced him since the Diamond is Unbreakable anime adaptation. Because of this, and like the majority of the game's roster, voicelines for Josuke were either added or re-recorded.
Gameplay
Josuke has 1000 health and uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with Crazy Diamond. During a fight, he can use various moves from his appearance in Diamond is Unbreakable.

Dialogue
Outside of the All-Star Battle Mode, Josuke has unique dialogue for both his match entrances and victories when facing certain characters.
Match Entrance Victory"Watch your mouth!" comments
Just like in All-Star Battle, when triggering Josuke's "Watch your mouth!" ability, characters have unique lines that all pertain to insulting, mocking, or unwittingly offending Josuke and his hair. They will use the same "taunting eyes" pop-up also used by Joseph's "Your next line is...". Josuke will then reply with "What the hell did you say about my hair!" (今おれのこの頭のことなんつった！, Ima ore no kono atama no kotona ntsutta!) while entering his enraged state.
Quotes- “Such eerie hair. What might be hiding away in it?! (ただならぬ不気味な頭部！いったぃどんなものを秘めているのかッ！？)”
- “I've seen a lot of things in my life up until now! However, I've never seen such a strange head like that! (おれは！今までの人生でいるんな物を見て来だ！だが、こんなヘンな頭は見たこともねえッ！！)”—Robert E. O. Speedwagon, referencing Chapter 14
- “We can talk about your stupid hair later. (くだらねー髪の毛の話なんてあとにしな)”—Jotaro Kujo/Jotaro Kujo (Part 4), referencing Chapter 267
- “What's with that shameful, ugly hair?! Your parents will be sad! (なんじゃ、そのみっともない不細工な頭は！親が悲しむぞ！)”
- “I'll say it clearly this time. Your hairstyle is unsightly. (この際だからはっきり言うわ、あんたの髪型ダサいのよ)”
- “What's up with that hair?! Teehee, how lame... It's soooo uncool!! (なによその頭ーーッ！！だっ、ださいッ！すごくださいわあーッ！！)”
- “I can't help but irritate you with that ridiculous hairstyle! (テメーのそのふざけた髪型、 イラついてしょうがねぇぜ！)”
- “I'll lend you a razor or scissors...... You better clean up that hairstyle right now (カミソリでもハサミでも貸してやる………… その
髪型 すぐにでもかっさばいたほうがいい)” - “Stop acting all proud of that cheap-looking hairstyle! (安っぽいヘアスタイルで得意そうにするんじゃあないッ！)”
- “Did you think that hair looked cool? That is somewhat pitiful... (その頭、カッコいいと思っているのか？なんだかそりゃあお気の毒だな…)”
- “What a horrendous hairstyle. I would never allow the people of my country to have it. (なんともひどい髪型だ。そんなヘアスタイルはわが国民には絶対させない)”
- “Baoh caught the scent of his enemy's hair. Baoh does not like the scent. (バオーは相手の髪の毛の香するにおいを触臭で感じ…そのにおいが大嫌いだった)”—Narrator, if playing as Ikuro Hashizawa
