All-Star Battle R ★ Johnny Joestar
Johnny Joestar (ジョニィ・ジョースター, Joni Jōsutā) was confirmed to return for All-Star Battle R during the game's initial announcement trailer.[1] He was featured as 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.
As Johnny's voice actor since All-Star Battle, Yuki Kaji reprises his role in All-Star Battle R as well, notably also voicing Koichi Hirose. Similar to the majority of the game's roster, Johnny was given some new and rerecorded voicelines, although, in some cases, existing voicelines were simply reused from the original All-Star Battle.
Gameplay
Johnny has 950 health and uses both the Mounted (騎乗, Kijō) and Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Battle Style, fighting foes with Tusk. During a fight, he can use several different attacks that were featured in Steel Ball Run.

Commemorative Giveaway
In commemoration of the release of Parallel World Diego as the 4th paid DLC character for ASBR, the Japanese ASBR Twitter account hosted a giveaway of 20 sets of 3 ASBR Steel Ball Run badges,[4] although only to be delivered to addresses in Japan.[5] The badges in question contain the ASBR render images of Gyro Zeppeli, Parallel World Diego, and Johnny respectively.

However, Twitter accounts set to private are ineligible for the giveaway. Unfollowing the ASBR Twitter account before the end of the giveaway also deems users ineligible. Furthermore, attempting to join the giveaway with multiple accounts will disqualify all of the associated accounts from the giveaway.[5]
The giveaway is directly implemented by Bandai Namco themselves, with no third party involvement, and the winners of the giveaway will be notified via Twitter DMs. Said winners will then be announced sometime towards the end of July 2023.
