[[caption-width-right:280: Without Headdress]]

* FakingTheDisability: Given his crafty nature and suspiciously swift recovery after his personal adventure with Josuke, it's heavily implied that he was nowhere near as senile as he acted during Part 4 and might just have been playing the fool to get his wife to stop hitting him for having an affair.

* EyeBeams

* ComboPlatterPowers: He uses both the Ripple and a Stand, and due to the nature of Hermit Purple, he can combine the two. The only thing stopping him from being a StoryBreakerPower is that his age has declined.

* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler:Caesar's bandana]] becomes this to him in Part 2 after his death.

* BlondGuysAreEvil: Although he's much [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventurePart1 less monstrous than the last guy who had this hair color]].

->Voiced by: Atsushi Imaruoka (TV anime, ''All-Star Battle'', ''Eyes of Heaven'') (Japanese), Creator/DanWoren (English)

He is named after [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cars the Cars]] or the Gary Newman song [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cars_%28song%29 Cars]].

* MomentOfWeakness: Cheating on his wife wasn't exactly the most proudest moment of his life. He later shows regret for his affair and tries to compensate for not helping to raise his illegitimate son, though he's understandably cold towards him.

* ThePowerOfTheSun

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:After he was t

** In comparison to his Grandfather who was welcoming of Jonathan as a student and took a Fatherly mentor role to him, Casear sees Joseph as a failure at first before learning to respect him. [[spoiler: When William dies, he chooses to sacrifice himself to save Jonathan and give him his Ripple while Caser runs off to battle Wammu in a fit of anger and dies giving his headband to Joseph.]]

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:Messina loses an arm to Wammu, but at the funeral, he seems to have a prosthetic]].

* VillainousFriendship: He has a good deal of respect for his comrades, even raising Wammu and Santana. Even after the reveal that many of his honorable qualities are an act he specifically states in his battle with Joesph [[spoiler:that he intends to avenge his fallen friends]].

* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler: [=Jojo=] may have killed him, but in his final moments there was an undeniable sense of understanding, respect, and admiration between the two men, and yes, even palpable sadness on [=JoJo's=] part for Wamuu's passing.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:After he was turned to stone and taken for studying by the Speedwagon Foundation, we don't hear of him even at the ending. It's usually assumed that Joseph destroyed him offscreen.]]

! Donovan
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Donovan_Anime_4442.png
-> Voiced by: Kenichiro Matsuda (TV anime) (Japanese), Ray Chase (English)

A strange German assassin sent to capture Joseph as he travels the Mexican desert.
-----
* CurbStompBattle: By a [[ImprobableWeaponUser cactus]], no less.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: He gets tied to a cactus, upside down. In the manga, Joseph leaves a note saying [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments "Hi Adolf"]].
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Evil, obviously.
* KnifeNut: His assassination skill involves stabbing after hiding himself inside a cape.
* TooDumbToLive: Sure Donovan, just stare at the cactus that is expanding and creaking before your eyes. And totally listen to the advice OF YOUR ENEMY to get a closer look too, [[TemptingFate nothing bad can possibly happ-]] [[StuffBlowingUp BOOM]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: His fate is never explained. He might have pulled a HeelFaceTurn like Stroheim, or [[FridgeHorror he might have died in the desert.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has pink hair in the anime.

! Wired Beck
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-Beckanime_2132.png
-> Voiced by: Creator/SatoshiTsuruoka (TV anime) (Japanese), Mike Davis (English)

A vampire the Pillar Men created with a stone mask. He guards the inner sanctum of the Pillar Men's fortress in Switzerland. He is named after [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Beck Jeff Beck]] and his album ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_(Jeff_Beck_album) Wired]]''.
-----
* CampStraight: ''Very'' effeminate and flamboyant. Mentions killing his girlfriend.
* CurbStompBattle: He was pretty much doomed just by appearing in front of Lisa Lisa.
* SpikesOfVillainy: He can turn every hair on his body into a large metal spike. However, they fall off shortly after meeting Lisa Lisa.
* VerbalTic: "OK?"
** Though also translated as "Man" or "Buddy" (e.g. "You could say I'm in his debt, man.").
* YouAreAlreadyDead: As soon as Lisa Lisa attacks him, he's pretty much living on a delayed reaction. Joseph even mocks him with this line.
** TimeDelayedDeath

[[/folder]]

* BirthmarkOfDestiny: Has the same star shaped birthmark on his upper back that all [=JoJo=]s have.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In the manga continuity, he's named George II after his grandfather. The light novel starring him as the main character, however, is titled "Jorge Joestar" with the in-universe justification that he was born on Spain's Canary Islands and therefore used the Spanish spelling, thus also literally making him a "[=JoJo=]".

* AdaptationDyeJob: While Jojo was never known for its consistent color schemes, the anime has him as a brunet (a color yet to be used in the original manga or any other spinoff media until then). And then gives him [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair purple hair]] in the OP (granted, probably for the ''[[{{Camp}} faaaaaaabulous!]]'' factor).

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Tends to look this way in a lot of official art from the Battle Tendency period, and his ''All Star Battle'' model is noticeably tanner than the other Jojos, despite being 100% British or at the least Western European.

* CrazyEnoughToWork: Joseph is easily the most random and unorthodox fighter out of all the Jojos, with how many odd weapons and plans he uses to win a fight. He'll use coke bottles, spinning crackers, machine guns, mirrors, pigeons, and volcanoes to beat his opponents. He stops being ridiculous with his plans once he's older, but he's still incredibly creative.

* DueToTheDead: Jojo may kill his opponents, but he always makes an effort to pay respects, if not outright admire their valiance and bravery.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: One of the few Jojos to have an unambiguously HappyEnding [[spoiler:before the timeline altered]], but went through a lot of crap just to live into his old age [[spoiler:and as of Jojolion, is still the only main Jojo to even make it past the second generation]].

* MrFanservice: Probably the most overtly fanservicey male Jojo. Hell, Part 2 might be more aptly described as "Jojo's Beefcake Adventure", given that [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything he's]] [[HoYay subjected]] [[ShirtlessScene to so]] [[ClothingDamage many]] [[BareYourMidriff exploitative]]-[[{{Stripperific}} looking]] [[FemaleGaze antics]] [[FormFittingWardrobe throughout]] [[PaintedOnPants it that]] you'd be forgiven for thinking he was a GenderFlipped modern-day superheroine. [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/b0dcdb170c88a4c661af1229696c8983/tumblr_mj1uv8EmKH1ry9vkao1_500.gif The anime]] throws in an AnimationBump during a TheCoatsAreOff scene seemingly for no real reason than this trope.

* GreenEyes: One of the few characters in Jojo with canonical hair and eye colors, and has the wild personality to match.

* AgonyOfTheFeet: After she is stabbed in the back and rendered nearly dead by Kars, he stabs two holes in her feet and binds them with rope to bait Jojo into an uneven fight.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: '''THE SINGLE''' most powerful character in the ''Jojo''-verse franchise, and yet meets his end at the end of the second of ''eight'' sagas. Keep in mind that while he is incredibly powerful [[spoiler:and later achieves CompleteImmortality]], he would probably lose to some Stand users who can defy metaphysics.

* EvilLaugh: Underneath his stoicism, he's got an epically hammy laugh fitting for a JoJo BigBad.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the entire Jojo Saga, in the sense that he created the Stone Mask, leading to Dio's ascension to power.

* {{Irony}}: Kars is considered one of, if not the, smartest JoJo villain, smart enough to [[spoiler: become the Ultimate Lifeform.]] So when he's finally beaten, [[spoiler: it's his genius mind to go first, not his body.]]

* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler:Jojo may have killed him, but in his final moments there was an undeniable sense of understanding, respect, and admiration between the two men, and yes, even palpable sadness on Jojo's part for Wamuu's passing.]]

* {{Badass}}: Part 2 is basically a long string of Badass moments, though he still has his moments in Part 3 and even Part 4.
** BadassBaritone: [[Creator/TomokazuSugita In the]] [[Creator/UnshoIshizuka TV]] [[Creator/RichardEpcar anime]].
** BadassBeard: In Part 3.
** BadassFamily: As a Joestar, it's to expected; having inherited his grandfather's talent for the Ripple and being the grandfather of an equally badass stand user.
** BadassGrandpa: Again, in Part 3.
** RetiredBadass: In Part 4.

* {{Badass}}: Very much so. He's a better Ripple user then Joseph for starters,[[spoiler: and even though Wamu kills him, Wamu had to exploit a brief opening to do so. Wamu even admits that if [[BigBad Kars]] had been the one to fight him, he would have probably lost.]]

* TheLancer[=/=]TheRival: To Joseph.

* {{Badass}}

* {{Badass}}

* {{Badass}}
** BadassLongcoat: Kars knows better than his companions how to blend into modern society with style.

* {{Badass}}
** BadassBaritone: Being voiced by Creator/AkioOhtsuka or Creator/PaulStPeter tends to make you one.
** HandicappedBadass: He makes himself even ''more'' powerful by blinding himself.

Grandson of the original [=JoJo=]. An unscrupulous fighter who uses any means necessary to defeat his opponent. During the course of Battle Tendency, he travels the world to keep the vicious Pillar Men from obtaining the Red Stone of Aja and attaining a level of immortality that would render them absolutely invincible.

* RacistGrandma:

* AdventurerOutfit: Associated with [[{{Irony}} stereotypical pilot gear]] in Battle Tendency, which Araki seems to consider his IconicOutfit over his actual one as of late, though he never wears it in the series proper. Wears IndianaJones[[FedoraOfAsskicking -esque]] clothes in Part 3, which fits nicely with his [[WhipItGood Hermit Purple.]]

* {{Expy}}: Of [[IndianaJones Professor Henry Walton Jones Junior]] in ''Stardust Crusaders'', right down to the iconic fedora; even moreso ever since the release of [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull the fourth film]], wherein Henry has aged enough to match ''Joseph'' in appearance; he even has Joseph's delightful tendency to [[spoiler:sire illegitimate children.]]

* {{AwesomeMcCoolName}}: Joestar.

* {{Awesome[=McCool=]Name}}: Joestar.

* Awesome[=McCool=]Name: Joestar.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Joestar.

* AnimeHair: Extremely spiky brown hair that parts to the right in Part 2.
