Josuke Higashikata/Abilities and Powers
Stand
- Main article: Crazy Diamond
Josuke's Stand, Crazy Diamond, can restore objects (and organisms) to a previous state in its history.
It is able to repair damage and heal injury. It can also revert an item to its components (e.g. a wooden table into lumber).
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, such as by restoring a torn piece of clothing, which seeks to reattach itself.
However it is not without drawbacks. Crazy Diamond can only restore state, and not life, hence a lifeless body would still remain dead even after being "fixed" by it. The healing ability can also not be used on Josuke himself, or strictly speaking, anything that can be considered a part of his current self.
Personal
Josuke is shrewd, confident and courageous, possessing considerable fluid intelligence and a will to win; like his father.
Intelligence: Josuke is extremely quick to get on his feet under almost any circumstance, as he is very aware of the immediate surrounding as well as his own capabilities. He is proficient in utilizing anything he has within reach for dealing with problems at hand, he is also shown to be capable of planning several steps ahead by reading opponent's behavior and habit. 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, he can be quite cunning; manipulating, lying and cheating on others occasionally to achieve certain selfish goals.
Physical fineness: Josuke possesses substantial athletic ability. He has been shown once to have successfully chased down a moving bus over long distances completely on foot. He 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 enemy running after him. The most well known demonstration of his 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 remains conscious enough to think of counter measures and tactics.
Friendship: Josuke, like Koichi if not more, is shown to be able to befriend antagonists after they are defeated by him, such is the case with Okuyasu, Yuuya, Toyohiro, Shigechi, and to some extent, Rohan.
