* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Slightly less abrasive than he was in canon. Losing everybody he ever considered a friend might have left an impact on him.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Startled when Johnny introduces himself as a Joestar, and later quizzes the American on being a potential relation of Joseph Joestar or Jotaro Kujo. Igor also describes him as "one who slipped through the cracks".
* SoleSurvivor: He's implied to be quietly bothered by the fact he's stranded in a timeline he doesn't
* TarotMotifs: His Arcana is The Hermit, a card for isolation and hidden knowledge -- considering the hints he actually remembers the previous timeline, Rohan would be quite isolated by his own knowledge indeed.

That's also the reason why he accepts her help after falling in the stairs -- she's not acting out of pity, she just saw him in pain and wanted to make it better.

* YouShouldHaveDiedInstead: Has fully internalized his father's conviction that God took the wrong son, deeming his life worthless.



* ArmouredClosetGay: Deeply uneasy in front of the ''extremely'' campy Shadow Kenji, and outright suffers a screaming FreakOut when Rise asks him if Johnny with lipstick looks kissable -- that raises some ''questions'' about his gender preferences.

* BrokenAce: All of Yasogami High worships him as the perfect guy -- handsome, popular with girls, nice with everybody and acing all his exams. Then it's revealed his parents are micromanaging his life to such an extent that he tried to seek release into alcohol, and only dates girls because it's an acceptable way to spend his free time.
* DescentIntoAddiction: The pressure of being the perfect student ultimately got so much that he started stealing his father's beer and turned in an alcoholic to seek relief.
* EducationPapa: His parents won't stop pushing him to study and ace his classes, to the point it drove him to alcoholism. They only accept him bonding with Johnny because he's helping the American with his exams.

* EvilUncle
* ParentalNeglect
* ParentsAsPeople
* WhatTheHellHero

to:

* EvilUncle
EvilUncle: Johnny's initial opinion of him, courtesy of his ParentalNeglect and the teen's own issues with fatherly figures. He later grows out of it, even if their relationship stays mostly tense.
* ParentalNeglect
ParentalNeglect: Johnny is much more sensitive to the fact that he cannot stop prioritizing his work over his daughter, and views him as a borderline villain for it.
* ParentsAsPeople
ParentsAsPeople: Not only he unwittingly causes Nanako to feel abandoned due to his workaholic tendences, Dojima is realistically awkward around his handicapped, traumatized nephew who's bent on antagonizing him merely for being an authority figure.
* WhatTheHellHeroWhatTheHellHero: Lets his panicking nephew care for his sick daughter in order to follow a potential lead on his wife's killer. When he comes home, Johnny explodes at him for being left to handle Nanako on his own, pointing he didn't know if her gut pain was life-threatening and was scared out of his mind.

to:

* DelicateAndSickly
DelicateAndSickly: Suffers recurrent gut pain. Gyro suggests it might be genetic, and it caused Johnny to worry about her potentially dying when she had a fit in front of him.
* LiesToChildren
LiesToChildren: The atheist Johnny claims Heaven is real in order to reassure her that her mother and his brother are happy and watching over their family.
* MoralityPetMoralityPet: Moreso than in the source material -- she's just so adorable that Johnny cannot bring himself to be a jackass to her.

* BerserkButton: He has ''opinions'' about food. Learning Japan has two hundreds Kit-Kat flavours drives him to a furious rant, and gives a DeathGlare to Yosuke when the younger teen considers mixing meatballs and spaghettis.
* FishOutOfWater: Gets traumatized by the Amagi Inn's toilet and complains about Japan having far too many Kit-Kat flavours.
* IdiotBall: Opened his door to a stranger ''in spite of having been warned about a murderer on the loose''. He's rather unsettled when he partially remembers the circumstances of his abduction and wonders why he would do that.
* JerkassToOne: Gyro is constantly upbeat and cheery around people, but he won't stop being nasty to Naoto.
* ShipTease: Mild but persistent hints of this with Rise, as both of them commiserate over the pains of celebrity. It's a bit ironic since Gyro very much wanted to ''avoid'' her when she came to Inaba, as tabloids would immediately assume they were dating if they were seen together.
* SupremeChef: Lives up to the Italian reputation for delicious cooking.
* TheMedic: Since he has genuine medical training, he naturally slots into the role.

IncompatibleOrientation: Feels more than a smidge awkward when Yukiko confesses she used to have a crush on her, mainly because Chie is staunchly heterosexual.

* FindTheCure: Agreed to explore the TV world further only because he hopes it holds the key to let him walk again. He finds himself dreading the murderer's arrest as he wouldn't have a reason anymore to go there.

BlowYouAway: His Persona Jiraiya's ability.
* ButtMonkey
ButtMonkey: Unable to have a girlfriend, constantly bugged by his workmates and his paycheck always stolen by Chie and Yukiko to pay for previous offenses against them. However, it gets deconstructed when the girls buy Teddy a heavily priced wardrobe as he outright blows at them and admits he's fed up with everybody abusing his time and money.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadassCartwrightCurse: His crush Saki was gruesomely murdered when it looked like she would start reciprocating his affection, he had to learn she secretly found him a pain in the ass, and it's later hinted he might be attracted towards Johnny who's on the asexuality spectrum and more interested in Chie than him.

* CondescendingCompassion

to:

* CondescendingCompassionBecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Subverted -- when Johnny rejects her friendly overtures, she blows her top at him for being an asshole and it actually persuades the American to give her a chance, since Chie wasn't afraid to call the obviously disabled foreigner out instead of pitying him.
* CondescendingCompassion: Her Shadow gleefully admits that she secretly enjoys for Yukiko to need her as a saviour, and wanted to make friends with Johnny as he was disabled and ''obviously'' needed someone reliable to support him.

to:

* BetterWithNonHumanCompany
BetterWithNonHumanCompany: Very much snarky, rude and a thorough jackass when he's interacting with people. However, he genuinely loves horses to the point one of his Social Links is with Slow Dancer, and he reacts to Chie admitting horse meat is consumed in Japan as if she was speaking about eating babies.
* BornInTheWrongCentury
BornInTheWrongCentury: Both him and Gyro wonder if they would have been happier living in a Western rather than the 21th century when they have a sleepover.
* ButNotTooForeign
ButNotTooForeign: In spite of having a Japanese mother, Johnny is a blue-eyed blond who has been raised in America and consistently displays an American mindset.
* CoolBigBro
CoolBigBro: What Nanako thinks of him. The very idea of being any kind of sibling after losing his own very much distresses Johnny, but he's positively gentle around her, seething when he believes Dojima neglects her and reassuring her that Heaven is real in spite of being an atheist.
* TheFashionista
DaddyIssues: A heaping lot of it. It causes his relationship with Dojima to be ''extremely'' tense sometimes, as Johnny is prone to accuse his uncle from being just as much of a neglectful shit as George Joestar.
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller
ExpectingSomeoneTaller: His classmates eagerly pictured him as the traditional musclebound, blond and blue-eyed American {{Hunk}} -- only to be stuck with a scrawny jerk in a wheelchair. Well, at least he ''does'' have blond hair and blue eyes...
* IneffectualLoner
TheFashionista: Tends to shop for expensive brands such as Gucci -- when you have to kick Shadowy ass, you will look ''awesome'' doing so.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
IneffectualLoner: Does his best to push people away from him, as he reviles everybody as hypocrites who only care about themselves and won't have a qualm using him for their own ends. Unfortunately for Johnny, holding the Wild Card forces him to develop genuine friendships if he wishes to grow.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy
JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Deeply rude, cynical and self-interested. He still empathizes with Yosuke's despair over Saki's demise and tries to be kind with his baby cousin.
* NonActionGuyMasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The Feminine Boy to Chie's Masculine Girl, as he's lacking in muscle and more interested by clothes and make up than her.
* NonActionGuy: Justified since he's in a wheelchair -- as he points to Chie who was unhappy about him not helping her to fight some bullies, he cannot do anything except fall on them.
