* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Polnareff's ace in the hole is Silver Chariot's ability to shoot out the blade from its handle like a pressurized air gun.
* LogicalWeakness: It'll automatically turn one's Stand against its user if they try to go for the arrow. Polnareff is exempt from this, with three possible explanations: the first is that, his Stand as the turtle is Mr. President, which has no offensive capability. The second is that he doesn't have a Stand as of Chariot Requiem going berserk, and the third is that Chariot Requiem is still his Stand, but isn't bound to his body anymore. Whichever one it is, Polnareff is the only member of the group that can pick up the arrow without threat of retaliation by their own Stand.

Could be better, could be worse; at least the stand, Mr. President, lets him hang out as his normal human self in a well-furbished trans-dimensional hotel room that anyone can visit whenever he wants, [[RunningGag the only drawback being its lack of a bathroom]]. Taking Purple Haze Feedback as canon, he's even NumberTwo to Giorno in Passione's new hierarchy.
* DentedIron: In part 5, while he can still use his Stand, he's been so badly injured by battling that he's leagues behind the rest of the cast, and can no longer walk.
* EleventhHourRanger: For the Part 5 gang; in fact, him contacting them and them seeking him out is the impetus for the entire endgame.
* EyepatchOfPower: Wears and eyepatch after Diavolo takes his eye. The translucency of it makes it more closely resemble a tattoo.
* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Diavolo, in part 5 Polnareff uses a wheelchair; this doesn't actually make him any weaker, in large part because his Stand doesn't need.
* HollywoodHacking: He's able to hack into Passione's computer system in order to communicate with Bruno's gang.
* {{Irony}}: His Stand's main special ability is its SuperSpeed. At the end of part 5, his soul is trapped inside of a turtle, an animal known for being slow.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Before the events of ''Vento Aureo'': recieves King Crimson's [[RazorSharpHand hand chop]] through the right side of his face, then gets all but one of his limbs severed, before promptly being dropped off a cliff onto a hard rock. He gets better.
* NumberTwo: ''Purple Haze Feedback'' mentions that Polnareff serves as the second-in-command of Passione.
* OlderAndWiser: When he reappears in Vento Aureo, he came a long way from the goofball he was in ''Stardust Crusaders''.
* StayingAlive: Who else in the Jojo universe has faced both Dio and Diavolo and lived to tell the tale? He even survives death itself by his soul ending up in the turtle's body.
* UnexplainedRecovery: In Part 5, during the flashback, not only are Polnareff's legs severed by Diavolo, one of his arms gets hacked off as well. Despite that, he still has it when he's seen in the present. The anime even shows none of his severed limbs fell into the ocean the cliff was facing, which begs the question of how he reattached his arm, but not his legs.
* WalkingSpoiler: He only shows up near the end of ''Vento Aureo'', and his presence is intended to be a big surprise. His appearance also brings along the revelation of the power of Requiem Stands.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Chariot Requiem, without Polnareff to guide it, seemingly decides to change all life on earth into bizarre, alien forms so that there will be no humans left to threaten The Arrow.
* EyeForAnEye: Any attempt to interfere with Chariot Requiem is paid back proportionately. For example simply standing in its way will have it either walk around the obstacle or gently push it aside. A direct attack, or worse, an attempt at the arrow, will be met with attempted murder via said nuisance's own Stand turning against them.

* SoulPower: Chariot Requiem's domain as a Requiem Stand is "soul", and thus it can control the souls of ''[[UpToEleven all living beings on earth]]'' given time, forcing them between different bodies, turning peoples' own Stands against them, and, unless promptly dismissed, changing ''all life'' into strange extra-dimensional beings through soul manipulation.

->''"My name is Jean-Pierre Polnareff. On the honor of my dear sister's soul, and so that my good friend may rest in peace... I'm going to hurl you into the depths of despair! Prepare yourself!"''
Another victim to Dio's mind-control buds. Once he is freed by Jotaro and company, he tags along, in the hopes of finding the man who raped and murdered his sister in cold blood. Hot-headed, impulsive, and a bit dim, Polnareff is more often than not the receiving end of the [[MonsterOfTheWeek current enemy's stand]] and [[ButtMonkey foreign toilets.]] Nevertheless, his sheer determination and effectiveness in battle make him a valuable addition to Team Joestar, whether the rest of his teammates admit it or not. He is named after [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Polnareff Michel Polnareff]].
-----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Tropes]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the OVA's, Polnareff apparently joined DIO of his own free will instead of being brainwashed. He still makes a HeelFaceTurn though.
* {{Adorkable}}: He's goofy enough to rival Joseph.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: When fighting Vanilla Ice, Cream manifests under his foot, and shaves off part of it; he's left bleeding and limping for the rest of the fight.
* AnimeHair: A column of it. Also the inspiration for Benimaru from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''.
* AntiVillain: The Villain in Name Only variant just like Kakyoin, though also of the Noble Villain variety when brainwashed due to his chivalry and nobility.
* {{Archenemy}}: Becomes this to Enya after he kills her son, but [[SmugSnake given]] [[SerialKiller what]] [[{{Jerkass}} he]] [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil was]], and what ''[[EvilOldFolks she]]'' is, it's hard to feel that Polnareff was in the wrong.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Oddly enough, the ButtMonkey of the crusaders is the one most willing to actively ''murder'' his opponents. And has done so in brutal fashion, as Devo, J.Geil, and Vanilla Ice can attest to.
* TheBigGuy: A very weird example of the trope: he's the team's biggest guy physically, and his stand is the most physical one in terms of fighting ability, but Silver Chariot's actually a FragileSpeedster; still, he fulfills this spot on the team.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Poor Polnareff's got it tough. All indications in the final stages of Vento Aureo were that he was a DoomedProtagonist who would be DeaderThanDead after the day was saved: after getting his body killed by Diavolo, Requiem's soul-switching shenanigans popped him into the Stand-using turtle right before his soul could pass on, the effect being strictly temporary. However, after defeating Diavolo, it was revealed that the turle's Stand (Mr. President) was so powerful that it latched onto Polnareff's soul and refuses to let him die, so he gets to live on as a turtle. Could be better, could be worse; at least the stand, Mr. President, lets him hang out as his normal human self in a well-furbished trans-dimensional hotel room that anyone can visit whenever he wants, [[RunningGag the only drawback being its lack of a bathroom]]. Taking Purple Haze Feedback as canon, he's even NumberTwo to Giorno in Passione's new hierarchy.]]
* BorrowedCatchphrase: When the submarine attacked by High Priestess crashes into the seafloor he screams Joseph's famous [[BigOMG "OH MY GOD!!!"]]. Considering Joseph was knocked out somebody had to scream it. Also, during the time he's turned to a kid, he also yelled in English, [[BigNo "OH NO!!!"]], another of Joseph's phrases.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: DIO's second mind slave, though he did a much better job fighting back than Kakyoin, given that he resisted the DIO compulsion to KickTheDog.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Though he's by no means a straight-up NiceGuy (he is far too crass, vulgar and perverted for that), Polnareff is nevertheless a big-old warm, kind and sentimental softie who wears his heart on his sleeves, expresses all emotions with 120% honesty, and is the crusader most-prone to ManlyTears as a result.
* ButHeSoundsHandsome: When fighting Vanilla Ice, one of his three options is worded as "The Handsome Polnareff will devise the perfect counterattack just in the nick of time."
* ButtMonkey: The first comedic example in the series, often being the butt of many jokes and being the first to get victimized by an enemy's Stand.
* CasanovaWannabe: It's only shown occasionally though.
* CaptainObvious: If Joseph isn't the one taking on this role, Polnareff does it. Kakyoin especially hates it, and calls that habit out constantly.
* TheChewToy: If any member of the team ends up in a horrible situation, it's usually Polnareff.
* ChivalrousPervert: While he (in Joseph's words) "thinks with his dick," he's rarely disrespectful towards women; this character trait also tends to be [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] since Part 3 focuses more on fighting than the rest.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Polnareff isn't exactly the brightest member of Team Joestar, but whenever danger is present, he can be quite a formidable fighter: he was the first to figure out the trick to Diavolo's stand and developed a very clever way to counter it; however, [[spoiler:it ended up being for naught because King Crimson was simply [[InstantDeathRadius too strong]] for it to matter.]]
* DeathSeeker: He admits that he didn't care if he died killing J. Geil, but thanks to Avdol and Kakyoin, Polnareff learns to fight to live.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: In the OVA, he wasn't even possessed by one of Dio's buds.
* DentedIron: [[spoiler:In part 5, while he can still use his Stand, he's been so badly injured by battling that he's leagues behind the rest of the cast, and can no longer walk.]]
* DesignatedVictim: Part of the reason that Polnareff gets so much screentime in Part 3 is his habit of blundering into trouble and being saved by the others.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Of Stardust Crusaders, receiving the most character development as well as a similar number of fights to Jotaro. He also has multiple character arcs, each with their own payoff - killing J. Geil to avenge his sister, grieving over [[spoiler: Avdol seemingly sacrificing himself to save his life and his sister's death]], [[spoiler: avenging both Avdol and Iggy by killing Vanilla Ice]], and [[spoiler: paying DIO back for taking over his mind]].
* DubNameChange: The English version of [[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle All Star Battle]] renames him "Jean-Pierre Eiffel", a strange case as previous English-licensed [=JoJo=] works used "Polnareff" just fine.
** It's even more confusing when [[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven Eyes of Heaven]] has "Polnareff" removed from his name altogether, making him ''just'' Jean Pierre.
** Fortunately averted in the Crunchyroll subs and the dub of Part 3.
* EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler: For the Part 5 gang; in fact, him contacting them and them seeking him out is the impetus for the entire endgame.]]
* EmotionalBruiser: He's ''very'' in touch of his emotions that he dedicated his fight over his emotions of vengeance over the death of his sister (though he got better and replaced it with fighting for his friends later), and is very Hot-Blooded and occasionally dumb or perverted moments. The bruiser part is more highlighted on how he's one of the close range/physical-oriented fighters of the group. And most of the time, he's the supplier of ManlyTears of the team.
* EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench: He is French, and he is a pretty boy.
* {{Expy}}: Let's see. A [[ImplausibleFencingPowers skilled fencer]], on a [[YouKilledMyFather quest for revenge for a murdered family member]], with the murderer responsible having [[RedRightHand a deformed left hand]]. [[Film/ThePrincessBride Where have I heard this story before?]]
* EyepatchOfPower: [[spoiler:After Diavolo takes his eye. The translucency of it makes it more closely resemble a tattoo over his eye.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:After failing to escape from Vanilla Ice's spiral attack, Polnareff accepts that [[ThisIsReality "reality isn't that nice"]], bids farewell to Iggy, and tells him to flee[[HeroicSacrifice ; but then, Iggy uses his remaining strength to save Polnareff.]]]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Doomed to spend the rest of this life as a ''turtle'' by the end of Vento Aureo, not that he seems to mind. See BittersweetEnding above.]]
* {{Fingore}}: [[spoiler:When fighting Vanilla Ice, Cream disintegrates two of Silver Chariot's fingers causing two of Polnareff's to be sliced off. Though after the fight the wound comes and goes, sometimes Polnareff has them and sometimes he doesn't. When he reappears in Part 5, he has a prosthetic pinkie but his ring finger is fine. In the flashbacks however his hand is completely intact and he only loses the finger to Diavolo]].
* {{Foil}}:
** To both Avdol and Kakyoin, and for roughly the same reason: they're the calm strategists, while Polnareff always goes headfirst into combat.
** To Jotaro as well. While both can be hot-blooded and impulsive, Polnareff is far more goofy and tends to be a CassanovaWannabe who tends to flirt with women as opposed to Jotaro would would rudely rebuff them.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: After joining the Crusaders, Polnareff suddenly forgot the ability to generate shadow clones of Silver Chariot.
* ForgottenPhlebotinum: Said stand also lost its high defense, even with the armor intact.
* FreakyFridayFlip: [[spoiler: This is what Requiem does upon awakening to the ''entire population of Rome''.]]
* FrenchJerk: He is French, and comes off as arrogant, confrontational and can be rather impulsive.
* GratuitousFrench: He ''is'' French. While in the Japanese version he didn't insert those phrases willy-nilly in Japanese 'ranguage', in the dub, he inserts some French phrases at times (e.g: "Merci.")
* GoodIsDumb: Everyone in the group ''except'' him [[spoiler: knew that Avdol survived getting shot by Hol Horse]] specifically for this reason; they all agreed that he's not good at [[spoiler: keeping a secret.]] He ''has'' had moments of brilliance in more than one fight, but it's generally buried by his bullheadedness every where else.
* HeroicAlbino: [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Kind of]].
* HeroicBuild: He is very buff, even more so than his team mates.
* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Diavolo, in part 5 Polnareff uses a wheelchair; this doesn't actually make him any weaker, in large part because his Stand doesn't need legs and if someone knocks the chair over, his Stand helps him right it.)]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He's been going on stand-related adventures alone since well before meeting DIO, and would continue to do so for years after the end of part 3.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: If anyone on the Crusaders is closest to Jotaro (bar Joseph, his grandfather), it's him, especially during the Egypt arc when they wind up paired against the likes of Anubis, Alessi, and DIO himself, each of which only reaffirms how deeply they respect one another.
* HollywoodHacking: [[spoiler:He's able to hack into Passione's computer system in order to communicate with Bruno's gang.]]
* HotBlooded: In a series stuffed to the gills with hot-blooded characters, Polnareff is a constant fountain of ManlyTears, IdiotHero saves, and goofy moments; it's very hard not to like a guy who's so incredibly motivated.
* IdiotHero: PlayedWith. Polnareff suffers from GenreBlindness thus is prone to be fooled by women, and also [[HotBlooded tends to act before thinking]]; however, Polnareff is a perceptive and formidable combatant against male opponents, has outsmarted his enemies more than once, and is a skilled hacker. He can make stupid mistakes, but he'll show flashes of brilliance in a pinch just as often.
* {{Irony}}:
** His favorite color is gold, but his Stand is '''Silver''' Chariot.
** His Stand's main special ability is its SuperSpeed. [[spoiler:At the end of part 5, his soul is trapped inside of a turtle, an animal known for being slow.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Can be very abrasive and hot-headed, but he means well.
* LastNameBasis: After his introduction he is simply just called Polnareff. Some media, for legal reasons however call him Jean-Pierre, inverting this trope.
* LargeHam: As the comic-relief of the band, Polnaref expresses each and every emotion with 120% purity and honesty, be it rage, sorrow, love or joy.

!! Silver Chariot
[[quoteright:288:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/silverchariot_animeav_8.png]]
Silver Chariot, named after the Chariot card, has the ability to move at incredibly high speeds and is exceedingly skilled with its rapier, to the point of generating completely solid after-images, and catching 5 flying coins on its rapier. When it removes its armor, it sacrifices its decent durability for even ''higher'' speeds and can move at the speed of light. However, unlike most close-range humanoid Stands, Polnareff can't see through its eyes and has to be able to watch the combat himself to direct it effectively.
-----
* ArmorOfInvincibility: One of Silver Chariot's powers is its armor, which blocks attacks and stops Polnaraff from taking damage along with his Stand.
* DoppelgangerSpin: Silver Chariot has the power to create multiple copies of itself thanks to its super speed; they're actually just afterimages, because his Stand is that fast.
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Silver Chariot is capable of [[CuttingThroughEnergy skewering flames on its blade]], cutting [[AbsurdCuttingPower through solid rock]], and [[ParryingBullets slicing bullets in half]], along with [[BladeSpam moving so fast it appears there are eight copies of it at once]].
* PokemonSpeak: While Silver Chariot is a silent Stand compared with Star Platinum, it did however made ''Chamii'' noises when Polnareff was a kid.
* ShedArmorGainSpeed: Silver Chariot can eject its armor, revealing its true form, which comes with a massive speed boost.
* ShoutOut: Silver Chariot resembles Jagi from ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''.
* SuperSpeed: Silver Chariot's main power is its speed, with its attacks being close to the speed of light.
* {{Synchronization}}: Unlike many conventional Stands, Silver Chariot [[PlayedWith plays with this]]. Silver Chariot usually doesn't transfer its damage to its user, but if Polnareff sheds its armor, then it becomes entirely PlayedStraight.

!! Silver Chariot Requiem
[[quoteright:204:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chariotrequiem.png]]
[[caption-width-right:204:The Requiem Plays Quietly]]
After being trapped by Diavolo and prepared to be killed off, Silver Chariot touched the Stand Arrow, evolving into a new kind of stand. Chariot Requiem has the power to transfer the souls of people to another body, alongside the ability to put them to sleep. Is not considered a sentient stand, but it has a determination to stop anyone from touching the arrow, just as Polnareff wanted.
-----
* BodySurf: Chariot Requiem's power is to transfer the souls of one body to the another, saving Polnareff from dying at the hands of Diavolo, but trapping him inside Mr. President.
* FreakyFridayFlip: This is one of Chariot Requiem's main abilities, to swap people's souls into other bodies.
* HatePlague: In order to protect the arrow, Chariot Requiem possesses the ability to turn stands against their masters. It made the cheerful Sex Pistols No.1 into a violent nut who tried to kill Mista.
* HumanoidAbomination: What starts coming out of people when they are under Requiem's effects for too long. It's supposed to be because Requiem is quickening evolution to breakneck speed, though there are also indications that it has something to do with his soul-switching agenda and that Requiem is summoning them from somewhere (i.e., cutting corners on the whole "evolution" thing).
* NighInvulnerable: Like with Notorious B.I.G., a stand surviving its master is unkillable and will heal any harm done to it. The only way to defeat Chariot Requiem is to destroy a marble of light behind your head, as Requiem is the "shadow of one's soul".
* OutsideContextProblem: A stand arrow being able to affect an existing stand was only hinted at with Killer Queen Bites the Dust, but Chariot Requiem's existence singlehandedly changes the climax of ''Vento Aureo''.
* ShoutOut: Chariot Requiem's design is deliberately based on the mysterious man who visited Mozart to commission the unfinished piece ''Requiem''.
* SinisterSilhouettes: Subverted. At first it seems to be another case of FaceFramedInShadow, a trope used quite a bit in Part 5. Bruno gets close to it and reveals that what seemed to be an abstract silhouette is actually its features and Requiem looks like it was made from black plastic.
* SquishyWizard: Chariot Requiem loses most of its old combat abilities, with one weakness that can be quickly destroyed; the trade off is the ability to control souls, turn Stands against their users, and even the ability to evolve lifeforms beyond their current state.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to bring up Chariot Requiem's existence without spoiling the final stretch of Part 5.

->''"My name is Jean-Pierre Polnareff. On the honor of my dear sister's soul, and so that my good friend may rest in peace... I'm going to hurl you into the depths of despair! Prepare yourself!"''
Another victim to Dio's mind-control buds. Once he is freed by Jotaro and company, he tags along, in the hopes of finding the man who raped and murdered his sister in cold blood. Hot-headed, impulsive, and a bit dim, Polnareff is more often than not the receiving end of the [[MonsterOfTheWeek current enemy's stand]] and [[ButtMonkey foreign toilets.]] Nevertheless, his sheer determination and effectiveness in battle make him a valuable addition to Team Joestar, whether the rest of his teammates admit it or not. He is named after [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Polnareff Michel Polnareff]].

[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Tropes]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the OVA's, Polnareff apparently joined DIO of his own free will instead of being brainwashed. He still makes a HeelFaceTurn though.
* {{Adorkable}}: He's goofy enough to rival Joseph.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: When fighting Vanilla Ice, Cream manifests under his foot, and shaves off part of it; he's left bleeding and limping for the rest of the fight.
* AnimeHair: A column of it. Also the inspiration for Benimaru from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''.
* AntiVillain: The Villain in Name Only variant just like Kakyoin, though also of the Noble Villain variety when brainwashed due to his chivalry and nobility.
* {{Archenemy}}: Becomes this to Enya after he kills her son, but [[SmugSnake given]] [[SerialKiller what]] [[{{Jerkass}} he]] [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil was]], and what ''[[EvilOldFolks she]]'' is, it's hard to feel that Polnareff was in the wrong.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Oddly enough, the ButtMonkey of the crusaders is the one most willing to actively ''murder'' his opponents. And has done so in brutal fashion, as Devo, J.Geil, and Vanilla Ice can attest to.
* TheBigGuy: A very weird example of the trope: he's the team's biggest guy physically, and his stand is the most physical one in terms of fighting ability, but Silver Chariot's actually a FragileSpeedster; still, he fulfills this spot on the team.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Poor Polnareff's got it tough. All indications in the final stages of Vento Aureo were that he was a DoomedProtagonist who would be DeaderThanDead after the day was saved: after getting his body killed by Diavolo, Requiem's soul-switching shenanigans popped him into the Stand-using turtle right before his soul could pass on, the effect being strictly temporary. However, after defeating Diavolo, it was revealed that the turle's Stand (Mr. President) was so powerful that it latched onto Polnareff's soul and refuses to let him die, so he gets to live on as a turtle. Could be better, could be worse; at least the stand, Mr. President, lets him hang out as his normal human self in a well-furbished trans-dimensional hotel room that anyone can visit whenever he wants, [[RunningGag the only drawback being its lack of a bathroom]]. Taking Purple Haze Feedback as canon, he's even NumberTwo to Giorno in Passione's new hierarchy.]]
* BorrowedCatchphrase: When the submarine attacked by High Priestess crashes into the seafloor he screams Joseph's famous [[BigOMG "OH MY GOD!!!"]]. Considering Joseph was knocked out somebody had to scream it. Also, during the time he's turned to a kid, he also yelled in English, [[BigNo "OH NO!!!"]], another of Joseph's phrases.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: DIO's second mind slave, though he did a much better job fighting back than Kakyoin, given that he resisted the DIO compulsion to KickTheDog.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Though he's by no means a straight-up NiceGuy (he is far too crass, vulgar and perverted for that), Polnareff is nevertheless a big-old warm, kind and sentimental softie who wears his heart on his sleeves, expresses all emotions with 120% honesty, and is the crusader most-prone to ManlyTears as a result.
* ButHeSoundsHandsome: When fighting Vanilla Ice, one of his three options is worded as "The Handsome Polnareff will devise the perfect counterattack just in the nick of time."
* ButtMonkey: The first comedic example in the series, often being the butt of many jokes and being the first to get victimized by an enemy's Stand.
* CasanovaWannabe: It's only shown occasionally though.
* CaptainObvious: If Joseph isn't the one taking on this role, Polnareff does it. Kakyoin especially hates it, and calls that habit out constantly.
* TheChewToy: If any member of the team ends up in a horrible situation, it's usually Polnareff.
* ChivalrousPervert: While he (in Joseph's words) "thinks with his dick," he's rarely disrespectful towards women; this character trait also tends to be [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] since Part 3 focuses more on fighting than the rest.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Polnareff isn't exactly the brightest member of Team Joestar, but whenever danger is present, he can be quite a formidable fighter: he was the first to figure out the trick to Diavolo's stand and developed a very clever way to counter it; however, [[spoiler:it ended up being for naught because King Crimson was simply [[InstantDeathRadius too strong]] for it to matter.]]
* DeathSeeker: He admits that he didn't care if he died killing J. Geil, but thanks to Avdol and Kakyoin, Polnareff learns to fight to live.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: In the OVA, he wasn't even possessed by one of Dio's buds.
* DentedIron: [[spoiler:In part 5, while he can still use his Stand, he's been so badly injured by battling that he's leagues behind the rest of the cast, and can no longer walk.]]
* DesignatedVictim: Part of the reason that Polnareff gets so much screentime in Part 3 is his habit of blundering into trouble and being saved by the others.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Of Stardust Crusaders, receiving the most character development as well as a similar number of fights to Jotaro. He also has multiple character arcs, each with their own payoff - killing J. Geil to avenge his sister, grieving over [[spoiler: Avdol seemingly sacrificing himself to save his life and his sister's death]], [[spoiler: avenging both Avdol and Iggy by killing Vanilla Ice]], and [[spoiler: paying DIO back for taking over his mind]].
* DubNameChange: The English version of [[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle All Star Battle]] renames him "Jean-Pierre Eiffel", a strange case as previous English-licensed [=JoJo=] works used "Polnareff" just fine.
** It's even more confusing when [[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven Eyes of Heaven]] has "Polnareff" removed from his name altogether, making him ''just'' Jean Pierre.
** Fortunately averted in the Crunchyroll subs and the dub of Part 3.
* EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler: For the Part 5 gang; in fact, him contacting them and them seeking him out is the impetus for the entire endgame.]]
* EmotionalBruiser: He's ''very'' in touch of his emotions that he dedicated his fight over his emotions of vengeance over the death of his sister (though he got better and replaced it with fighting for his friends later), and is very Hot-Blooded and occasionally dumb or perverted moments. The bruiser part is more highlighted on how he's one of the close range/physical-oriented fighters of the group. And most of the time, he's the supplier of ManlyTears of the team.
* EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench: He is French, and he is a pretty boy.
* {{Expy}}: Let's see. A [[ImplausibleFencingPowers skilled fencer]], on a [[YouKilledMyFather quest for revenge for a murdered family member]], with the murderer responsible having [[RedRightHand a deformed left hand]]. [[Film/ThePrincessBride Where have I heard this story before?]]
* EyepatchOfPower: [[spoiler:After Diavolo takes his eye. The translucency of it makes it more closely resemble a tattoo over his eye.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:After failing to escape from Vanilla Ice's spiral attack, Polnareff accepts that [[ThisIsReality "reality isn't that nice"]], bids farewell to Iggy, and tells him to flee[[HeroicSacrifice ; but then, Iggy uses his remaining strength to save Polnareff.]]]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Doomed to spend the rest of this life as a ''turtle'' by the end of Vento Aureo, not that he seems to mind. See BittersweetEnding above.]]
* {{Fingore}}: [[spoiler:When fighting Vanilla Ice, Cream disintegrates two of Silver Chariot's fingers causing two of Polnareff's to be sliced off. Though after the fight the wound comes and goes, sometimes Polnareff has them and sometimes he doesn't. When he reappears in Part 5, he has a prosthetic pinkie but his ring finger is fine. In the flashbacks however his hand is completely intact and he only loses the finger to Diavolo]].
* {{Foil}}:
** To both Avdol and Kakyoin, and for roughly the same reason: they're the calm strategists, while Polnareff always goes headfirst into combat.
** To Jotaro as well. While both can be hot-blooded and impulsive, Polnareff is far more goofy and tends to be a CassanovaWannabe who tends to flirt with women as opposed to Jotaro would would rudely rebuff them.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: After joining the Crusaders, Polnareff suddenly forgot the ability to generate shadow clones of Silver Chariot.
* ForgottenPhlebotinum: Said stand also lost its high defense, even with the armor intact.
* FreakyFridayFlip: [[spoiler: This is what Requiem does upon awakening to the ''entire population of Rome''.]]
* FrenchJerk: He is French, and comes off as arrogant, confrontational and can be rather impulsive.
* GratuitousFrench: He ''is'' French. While in the Japanese version he didn't insert those phrases willy-nilly in Japanese 'ranguage', in the dub, he inserts some French phrases at times (e.g: "Merci.")
* GoodIsDumb: Everyone in the group ''except'' him [[spoiler: knew that Avdol survived getting shot by Hol Horse]] specifically for this reason; they all agreed that he's not good at [[spoiler: keeping a secret.]] He ''has'' had moments of brilliance in more than one fight, but it's generally buried by his bullheadedness every where else.
* HeroicAlbino: [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Kind of]].
* HeroicBuild: He is very buff, even more so than his team mates.
* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Diavolo, in part 5 Polnareff uses a wheelchair; this doesn't actually make him any weaker, in large part because his Stand doesn't need legs and if someone knocks the chair over, his Stand helps him right it.)]]
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He's been going on stand-related adventures alone since well before meeting DIO, and would continue to do so for years after the end of part 3.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: If anyone on the Crusaders is closest to Jotaro (bar Joseph, his grandfather), it's him, especially during the Egypt arc when they wind up paired against the likes of Anubis, Alessi, and DIO himself, each of which only reaffirms how deeply they respect one another.
* HollywoodHacking: [[spoiler:He's able to hack into Passione's computer system in order to communicate with Bruno's gang.]]
* HotBlooded: In a series stuffed to the gills with hot-blooded characters, Polnareff is a constant fountain of ManlyTears, IdiotHero saves, and goofy moments; it's very hard not to like a guy who's so incredibly motivated.
* IdiotHero: PlayedWith. Polnareff suffers from GenreBlindness thus is prone to be fooled by women, and also [[HotBlooded tends to act before thinking]]; however, Polnareff is a perceptive and formidable combatant against male opponents, has outsmarted his enemies more than once, and is a skilled hacker. He can make stupid mistakes, but he'll show flashes of brilliance in a pinch just as often.
* {{Irony}}:
** His favorite color is gold, but his Stand is '''Silver''' Chariot.
** His Stand's main special ability is its SuperSpeed. [[spoiler:At the end of part 5, his soul is trapped inside of a turtle, an animal known for being slow.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Can be very abrasive and hot-headed, but he means well.
* LastNameBasis: After his introduction he is simply just called Polnareff. Some media, for legal reasons however call him Jean-Pierre, inverting this trope.
* LargeHam: As the comic-relief of the band, Polnaref expresses each and every emotion with 120% purity and honesty, be it rage, sorrow, love or joy.
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''Heritage for the Future'' [[https://youtu.be/J0n8RWVTZZM gives him one]], which [[spoiler:[[https://youtu.be/toXTGCb0H00 gets remixed]] for his surprise Part 5 appearance in ''[=GioGio=]'s Bizarre Adventure''.]]
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler:He's the only member of the team kept in the dark about Avdol being NotQuiteDead (because the others feared he might accidentally blab about it to the enemy.)]]
* ManlyTears: Of all the Stardust Crusaders, these flow the easiest from his big, warm and kind heart.
* MasterSwordsman: Silver Chariot. Not much Polnareff himself.
* NoIndoorVoice: Unless forced to utilize stealth, each and ''every'' line of Polnaref's dialogue is screamed out full-gusto on the gop of his lungs.
* NumberTwo: [[spoiler:''Purple Haze Feedback'' mentions that Polnareff serves as the second-in-command of Passione.]]
* KnightInShiningArmor: How he sees himself, and it's the form Silver Chariot takes.
* OlderAndWiser: [[spoiler:When he reappears in Vento Aureo, he came a long way from the goofball he was in ''Stardust Crusaders''.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After defeating Alessi, [[CasanovaWannabe Polnareff]] actually has a chance to pursuit the romance he always wanted with the woman who took care of him when he was de-aged (named Malena in the anime).

* RoyalRapier: Silver Chariot's WeaponOfChoice.
* RunningGag: In Part 3, Polnareff is victim of a recurring gag involving bathrooms: every time he goes to one he gets into trouble, be it an attack from the enemy or the bathroom itself; this is noted by Avdol after he has trouble in finding Mariah in a bathroom, as he comments that Polnareff is the expert with incidents regarding them.
** BrickJoke: [[spoiler: Polnareff's soul winds up resting inside the extra-dimensional space of Coco Jambo... which doesn't have a bathroom inside it.]]
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: In the anime, he's briefly arrested for being the prime suspect in Devo the Cursed's sudden murder (which he did indeed commit, but Devo was an AxCrazy SerialKiller that was trying to kill him, so it evens out), but luckily manages to avoid jail time thanks to lawyers from the Speedwagon Foundation.

* NighInvulnerable: Like with Notorious B.I.G., a stand surviving its master is unkillable and will heal any harm done to it. The only way to defeat Chariot Requiem is to destroy a marble of light behind your head, as Requiem is the "shadow of one's soul".
* OutsideContextProblem: A stand arrow being able to affect an existing stand was only hinted at with Killer Queen Bites the Dust, but Chariot Requiem's existence singlehandedly changes the climax of ''Vento Aureo''.
* ShoutOut: Chariot Requiem's design is deliberately based on the mysterious man who visited Mozart to commission the unfinished piece ''Requiem''.
* SinisterSilhouettes: Subverted. At first it seems to be another case of FaceFramedInShadow, a trope used quite a bit in Part 5. Bruno gets close to it and reveals that what seemed to be an abstract silhouette is actually its features and Requiem looks like it was made from black plastic.
* SquishyWizard: Chariot Requiem loses most of its old combat abilities, with one weakness that can be quickly destroyed; the trade off is the ability to control souls, turn Stands against their users, and even the ability to evolve lifeforms beyond their current state.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to bring up Chariot Requiem's existence without spoiling the final stretch of Part 5.
