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.
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.
Johnny can summon his horse, Slow Dancer, to mount it, or dismount and send it away, shifting his movement and available abilities. Slow Dancer improves his mobility, attack range, and power. However, he loses the ability to Stylish Guard and will be forcibly dismounted if he is hit by a move that hard knockdowns. To note, Johnny's Guard Gauge will not regenerate while he is Mounted.
If the Style input () is chained from normals while unmounted, 'Quick Mount' is triggered at the cost of Heart Heat, whereby Johnny mounts Slow Dancer much faster, and the act of flipping onto his horse can knock the opponent into the air. This provides an easy and quicker method of mounting as well as transitioning Johnny's unmounted combo into a mounted one.

The main protagonist of Part 7: Steel Ball Run. He is the user of the StandTusk, and a paraplegic. Johnny finds hope within the Spin technique and asks Gyro to teach it to him. He beats Valentine in the end, but is unfortunately defeated by a version of Diego from a parallel world and disqualified from the race. Afterward, he returns Gyro's corpse and horse to his hometown.
User of the Stand Tusk. Johnny is a paraplegic who wishes to learn Gyro's "Spin" technique. He beats Valentine in the end, only to be narrowly defeated by a parallel Diego. Eliminated from the race, he returns home with Gyro's corpse and his horse.
Johnny Joestar's Stand, which manifested due to the Devil's Palm's influence. It evolves in stages as Johnny learns lessons in the Spin from Gyro and grows spiritually, eventually gaining the ability to cross and attack through dimensional barriers.
Johnny Joestar's Stand, enacted due to the effects of Devil's Palm. It evolves at milestones in Johnny's own development, like when he learns the Spin from Gyro. Its final form is unhindered by dimensions when attacking.
A body split into nine parts: its heart, left arm, eyes, head, ears, spinal cord, right arm, torso, and legs. Each part bears miraculous power that allows it to fuse with the body of its holder, awaken Stand abilities, and even restore the use of a paraplegic's legs.

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.
The campaign started on June 16, 2023, and will last until July 2 at 11:59pm JST. To enter the giveaway lottery, users only have to:
Retweet the tweet that announced the giveaway in the first place.
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. The gifts are only eligible for people in Japan, and are scheduled to be delivered in mid-August 2023.[5]
