All-Star Battle R ★ Wonder of U (Toru)
Wonder of U (ワンダー・オブ・U, Wandā obu Yū) and its user, Toru, were confirmed for All-Star Battle R as the third playable DLC character for the game's Season Pass 2, as well as the seventh paid DLC character overall, on November 21, 2023.[1] However, they were accidentally revealed early, on November 17, 2023, via the Nintendo eShop in Europe and Australasia.[3]
It is slated for release on December 8, 2023,[3] but on December 6 for Season Pass 2 and Ultimate Edition holders.[2][5] As it is part of the game's second season pass, it is included in the Ultimate Edition as well.
Having previously appeared in neither All-Star Battle nor Eyes of Heaven, Wonder of U has an original moveset based on its appearance in JoJolion. Toru is not playable, only appearing in Wonder of U's intro, victory poses, and Great Heat Attack.
As this marks Wonder of U's and Toru's first voiced appearances, Takayuki Sugo debuts as the voice of Wonder of U, while Nobunaga Shimazaki debuts as the voice of Toru.
Gameplay
Wonder of U uses the Stand (スタンド, Sutando) Style, being a Stand itself, and has an original moveset based on its appearance in JoJolion. Toru, however, is not playable, only appearing in some cinematics.[3]

Special Interactions
- When Joseph Joestar's "Your next line is:" skill is activated, Joseph will fail to predict Wonder of U's silence, instead taunting the Stand. This reduces the efficiency of the attack: while Joseph gains a "Guess I did it again!" level and half a bar of Heart Heat Gauge as usual, Wonder of U does not lose half a bar in return.
- When hit by Giorno Giovanna's Heart Heat Attack, Wonder of U's head turns in the direction of the punch, as it does after Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da deflects Josuke's final regular attack against it.[6]
- When hit by Enrico Pucci's "It's an illusion." skill, Wonder of U mimics its pose after being damaged by one of Soft & Wet's bubbles.[7]
Dialogue
Outside of All-Star Battle Mode, both Wonder of U and Toru have unique interaction dialogue for both their match entrances and victories when facing certain characters. Notably, new dialogue was only recorded for Yuya Fungami and Leone Abbacchio, as Joseph Joestar's unique "Your next line is:" interaction uses pre-existing dialogue.

- “Behold! Standing before you is the prime example of Germany's superior medicine and science! (見て驚けィイイ! 我がドイツの医学と科学の結晶をォォォ!)”“Your body... fascinating. Is it made of machinery? (君のその体……興味深い。機械でできているのかね?)”—Wonder of U

Wonder of U's theme is Calamity is coming. (厄災が来る, Yakusai ga Kuru), and is automatically unlocked when purchasing Wonder of U's DLC.
Its name is taken from Wonder of U's warning to Yasuho Hirose in JoJolion Chapter 103: The Wonder of You, Part 20.

Trivia
- Wonder of U is the only character to have a unique intro animation, depending on if he or Toru is speaking.
- Due to the unique nature of Wonder of U, he is partially immune to Joseph Joestar's "Your next line is:" skill. Upon the counter activating, Joseph cannot predict what he's going to say next, instead saying "Helloooooo? Anyone home?". This causes Wonder of U to not lose half a bar of his Heart Heat Gauge. However, Joseph still replenishes half of his and gains a level in "Guess I did it again!".
- Wonder of U is the first case in game where the Stand is playable, instead of the user.
