* WorldsStrongestMan: ''The'' strongest [=JoJo=], or even human ''period'' in the series, even as far as Part 8. Jonathan was already a mountain of a man, and the narrative played his incredible physical strength straight, his learning Hamon gave him superhuman powers on top of that. After [[spoiler: recieving Zepeli's hamon]], Jonathan became basically unstoppable as he was able to take down Dio's most powerful zombies in moments. In fact, feats of strength like his wouldn't even be replicated again until Jotaro and Star Platinum came around. [[spoiler: Even if Dio still had a body on the ship, more than likely he would've still known to keep his distance and use the [[EyeBeams Space Ripper Stingy Eyes]] instead of trying to duke it out with [=JoJo=] directly.]] He's so strong that it's implied that he'd be an ''absolute nightmare'' with a proper Stand. In the games, some Stand users actually express relief that Jonathan doesn't have one.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: When Dio offers him some "medicine" Dario snaps at him, saying that "this snake oil" does him no good. Of course, he didn't know that was actually poison and that his son was slowing killing him.

* HairContrastDuo: Jonathan Joestar (brunet) and his adoptive brother/enemy Dio Brando (blond) are strongly contrasted: Jonathan is a dorky NiceGuy AllLovingHero born in an [[SpoiledSweet aristocratic family]], while Dio is an [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious evil since birth]] CardCarryingVillain born to the lower class. Jonathan wants to be "the perfect gentleman" and is willing to risk himself for strangers; Dio seeks to exploit and manipulate everyone for his own goals, culminating in his plan to take over the Joestar household (who ''willingly adopted him'' when his father died). As Jonathan and Dio gain supernatural powers, Jonathan wields [[ThePowerOfTheSun Hamon]] to fight [[AnIcePerson vampire]] Dio. Their appearances are further contrasted: Jonathan has TaremeEyes and [[BlueIsHeroic a blue shirt]] and is built like a {{Juggernaut}}, while Dio has TsurimeEyes, [[RedOniBlueOni red clothing]] and, in the anime, is more slender than Jonathan.

* ManlyMan: Jonathan is the buffest protagonist in the series, loves his wife, and isn't afraid of shedding tears for those he cares about.
* ManlyTears: Jonathan sheds tears for Dio, even after he was defeated by his own hands.



** When he fights Tarkus, he provides the UrExample of what [=JoJo=] is known for: souped-up, physically-impossible supernatural pummelings that put the "rapid-fire" in RapidFireFisticuffs.

* TestosteronePoisoning: Jonathan is so manly that he can RIP a metal collar, obliterate Tarkus, the most muscular character in the series (more so than the [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Pillar Men]]), and punch but not cripple a street thug!



* TraumaCongaLine: Dio puts him through the wringer, beating him at everything, stealing his girl's [[SacredFirstKiss first kiss]], burning his dog, and that's when he was twelve.

Actually Not A Subversion since the viewer gets to see the training before the test, so there's no Bait And Switch element involved to make the viewer think he's throwing Jonathan into the deep end with no previous training.


* SinkOrSwimMentor: After wounding a zombie, he orders [=JoJo=] to kill it without spilling a single drop from a glass of wine. If he spilled any, even if he had won, Zeppeli would have abandoned [=JoJo=] on the spot. This is a subverted trope, since Will Zeppeli ''did'' train Jonathan in Hamon, and is now testing him, unlike [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Lisa]] [[SexyMentor Lisa]] in the next part.

* LightningBruiser: Unlike most of his descendants, Jonathan doesn't have a Stand to do the heavy lifting, so he essentially has to be strong and fast enough to fight Dio and his zombies, one of whom (Tarkus) wrecked a cliffside with his brute strength. [[spoiler:Dio while possessing Jonathan's body also can match the physicality of Power-Type Stands like Star Platinum, suggesting that a prime Jonathan could have done the same.]]



* NotTooDeadToSaveTheDay: In ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Part 3]]'', [[spoiler:Dio possesses Jonathan's body, but Jonathan's body hinders Dio's vampire abilities without further Joestar blood, consequently delaying Dio from reaching his full potential with [[TimeStandsStill The World]].]]



* SwissArmySuperpower: Hamon grants Jonathan abilities such as SuperStrength, a HealingFactor, SuperSenses, limited control over elements like [[PlayingWithFire fire]] and [[MakingASplash water]], MindControl, etc.

* BlueIsHeroic: The biggest example of an AllLovingHero among the [=JoJos=], his main outfit is usually portrayed as blue, in addition to the anime [[AdaptationDyeJob giving him blue hair]].

This helps him in the long run, as he gets bailed out of jail by the man without any consequences what so ever. And later allows Dio to be adopted as intended.

* RevengeBeforeReason: He tries to avenge Zeppeli's death at the hands of Tarkus, one of Dio's underlings, by killing Dio himself, refusing to heed Jonathan's warnings that Dio is way too dangerous to just fight him head on. Needless to say it doesn't end well for him.
