Jotaro Kujo/Abilities and Powers
Stand
One of the strongest stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure; Star Platinum possesses super human senses, strength, stamina, accuracy and speed. It can see for great distances and at great magnifications. As an added bonus, it has "Star Finger" attack in which it extends its finger to attack. It is similar to Dio Brando's The World, and, as it turns out, can likewise be used to stop time, but that ability is only revealed when Dio was about to drop a steamroller on him.
The Star card symbolizes, above all, hope. This is very appropriate, since Jotaro is very much the young new hope of the series. Like other physically powerful stands, Star Platinum suffers from a narrow range of activity. It can only be active within a 2-3 meter radius from Jotaro.
Star Platinum looks like a combination of Jonathan Joestar, Bruford and the Pillar Men. This could be reference to genetic memory and the power this two forces held.
Star Platinum The World
Still one of the best stands, this evolved version of his stand appears near the end of Stone Ocean. At his peak, Jotaro can stop time for as long as 5 seconds with his stand. It is stated that Star Platinum can freeze time for longer, but 5 seconds is the limit for human endurance under stopped time. Jotaro hasn't fully recovered from his injuries in this appearance and is somewhat unable to maintain 5 seconds as well as he used to.
Secret Technique
The Joestar family's "Secret technique" is usually utilized as a last resort. It was used by Jotaro in the series during his fight against Rubber Soul.[1] The secret technique is running away.
