Stand
- Main article: Soft & Wet
Soft & Wet is Josuke's Stand.
Its primary ability ("Plunder") is to steal some aspect or property of a target; to be contained in one or more small soap bubbles (bearing the image of his birthmark), which may be returned or transferred to other objects. This ability has been used both offensively and strategically.
Soft & Wet also demonstrates super strength, and the capacity for rapid melee attack common to humanoid Stands.
Like him, Josuke's Stand is described as a fusion of Yoshikage Kira's Stand (described and depicted in a way almost identical to Killer Queen) and the Stand belonging to whomever comprises the other portion of his being.
During his fight with Yotsuyu Yagiyama, Josuke decides to "use [his] soap bubbles for offense rather than defense..." Soft & Wet is shown to be able to surround and contain objects by creating a soap bubble and punching it into said object. The bubble bursts but then reforms around the target; Josuke is then able to make the bubble and object inside float anywhere he wants to, just like his regular soap bubbles.
By combining strikes with his bubbles, he is able to 'inject' one of his soap bubbles into the flesh of his opponents, causing superficial explosive damage when he pops them. This ability was first demonstrated against the A-un Twins.
Personal skills
Sight
Josuke possess an exceptional sight, he is capable of accurately describing the dimensions of organic objects such as humans and trees from afar (a trait shared with Holy Joestar-Kira). Moreover he seems to have a wide field of view, spotting movement at his feet's level despite looking away.
Hand-to-hand combat
Josuke demonstrates a natural affinity towards hand to hand combat having fluidly blocked and struck an opponent in one swift motion, augmenting the damage his blow causes with the powers of his Stand. He is also capable of displaying high reflexes and fast reaction speed common of experienced fighters.
