did a little research, nothing says time stop strains the heart, it's much more likely it's like a muscle, where not using time stop for a long time weakened its duration that's why by stone ocean it's back to five seconds.


* PapaWolf: One of the few times his stoicism breaks and he shows any emotion is when his daughter is attacked. He also tried to keep her away from the insanity that is the Joestar lifestyle [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou at the cost of their relationship]]. He also treats his younger comrades as such, including his own uncle who's younger than him.

[[spoiler:Tragically, this is used against him in ''Stone Ocean'' as Pucci no less than twice uses Jotaro's love for his daughter into a SadisticChoice of protecting his daughter or defeating the enemy, and both times Jotaro chooses Jolyne. This leads to his coma, and then his death.]]



* PowerDegeneration: [[spoiler:Time stopping]] proves to have this effect. [[spoiler:Using it causes immense strain on a body. It wasn't a problem for DIO thanks to his vampiric stamina and regeneration, but a human body just can't bounce back from it. Even though he only used it sparingly after unlocking it, the damage still added up. By the time of ''Stone Ocean'', he had heart problems in his early 40s and Star Platinum's durability sank from a perfect "A" rank down to the minimum "E" rank.]]
* PowerUpLetDown: [[spoiler:Star Platinum: The World's Time Stop]] isn't as good as it sounds. It was a gamebreaker in DIO's hands because his vampire stamina allowed him to [[spoiler:hold the Time Stop]] for a consistent 5-10 seconds and actually accomplish something in that time with his super speed and super strength. Jotaro doesn't have the constitution to use it for longer than a few seconds on average (though he can push himself if desperate), nor can he spam it like DIO could, and can only get in a couple of free attacks. He has to be a lot more strategic about using it. Somewhat subverted in that, given Star Platinum's insane speed, precision and diamond-shattering strength, there's untold devastation he could wreak [[spoiler:in those few frozen seconds]]. In fact, [[spoiler:he managed to beat DIO '''exactly''' because he used this ability more strategically]].

It wasn't a problem reason to use the ability for DIO thanks to his vampiric stamina and regeneration, but a human body just can't bounce back from it. Even though he only used it sparingly an entire decade after unlocking it, his climatic battle with DIO, it's like a muscle, and lack of use has led it to weaken significantly. This is why he goes from a mere half second in ''Diamond Is Unbreakable'' at the damage still added up. beginning of the part to two seconds from using it more frequently.. By the time of ''Stone Ocean'', he had heart problems in his early 40s just gotten out of a coma and Star Platinum's durability sank from a perfect "A" rank down to the minimum "E" rank.]]

* WorfHadTheFlu: In ''Diamond is Unbreakable'', Star Platinum could only maintain Time Stop for only two seconds instead of the normal five, due to Jotaro's lack of usage of it over the years. This prevents the Time Stop from being too much of a StoryBreakerPower. He regains its maximum time limit by the end of ''Stone Ocean'' when it achieves its full potential.

* WorldsStrongestMan: Star Platinum is reputed to be one of the strongest Stands around, and that's without taking its Time Stop into account. Only DIO, Josuke, Okuyasu, Akira Otoishi, Bruno Bucciarati, and Diavolo have Stands that can match it in pure physical strength. And only four individuals, being Giorno, Pucci, Johnny Joestar, and ''[=JoJolion=]''[='=]s Josuke Higashikata, have Stands with feats that make Star Platinum inferior, having achieved them through miraculous and convoluted means.

to:

* WorldsBestWarrior: Throughout Part 3 and even after, Star Platinum is considered by various enemies to be an incredibly dangerous stand that only a fool would take head on. In fact, most antagonists do whatever they can to eliminate direct threats ''without'' ever having to confront the terrifying strength of Star Platinum directly.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: He doesn't look ''at all'' 17 in Part 3. This makes his appearance in the original manga for Part 6 ironic, as he does actually look like as old as he should have been in Part 3.

** He does not hide the fact that he thinks very lowly of Joseph cheating on his wife and having an illegitimate child in Part 4, though he seems to look past it despite the occasional comment.

* TripleShifter: Not only is Jotaro a research professor, he's also heavily involved with the Speedwagon Foundation's work and investigations. His personal life has suffered for it.
* TookALevelInKindness: Jotaro softens up considerably by the time the Egypt arc starts, but he's still very much the JerkWithAHeartOfGold. ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' shows him with much improved anger management skills, such as praising Koichi for holding down the fort, and not flying into a rage with Tomoko Higashikata when she mistakes him for Joseph and starts hugging him and nuzzling his chest; [[HatesBeingTouched both of which]] being things that [[BerserkButton really would have set him off]] back in the days of ''Stardust Crusaders''. ''Golden Wind'' features him thanking Koichi for everything.

Added DiffLines:

* UndignifiedDeath: Just barely averted. He nearly ends up killing himself by stopping his heart to fool DIO into believing he really was dead. Jotaro lampshades it, acknowledging that if he died from his own stunt that it wouldn't even be funny.
