* {{Unperson}}: Thanks to Diavolo's immense paranoia and the belief he'd successfully killed Polnareff, he had to go into hiding and isolation so Diavolo couldn't track him down and finish what he started. For years this left him on his own, and made him unable to contact the Speedwagon Foundation or even Jotaro himself for aid, only freed from this by the sheer luck of Bucciarati's group looking into Diavolo's identity.

* {{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.

* [[{{Unperson}} Un-person]]: Thanks to Diavolo's immense paranoia and the belief he'd successfully killed Polnareff, he had to go into hiding and isolation so Diavolo couldn't track him down and finish what he started.

* BittersweetEnding: Poor Polnareff's got it tough. All indications in the final stages of ''Golden Wind'' 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 Coco Jumbo right before his soul could pass on, the effect being strictly temporary. However, after Diavolo's defeat, it was revealed that Polnareff managed to get his soul stay attached to Jumbo's body, so he gets to live on as a turtle. Could be better, could be worse, and he took the whole situation in stride; 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 toilet]]. Taking ''LightNovel/PurpleHazeFeedback'' as canon, he's even NumberTwo to Giorno in Passione's new hierarchy.

* FireForgedFriends: While he only knew them for less than a day, by the time Diavolo is beaten, Polnareff is considered a full fledged ally of the group, the ending even showing him working alongside Mista under Giorno. ''LightNovel/PurpleHazeFeedback'' even states that he's the new Underboss of Passione, making him NumberTwo to Giorno. Admittedly, Polnareff has the position since Mista turned it down out of its number being a [[AbsurdPhobia multiple of four]], but he was still close enough to them to get the position at all.

* NumberTwo: ''LightNovel/PurpleHazeFeedback'' mentions that Polnareff serves as the second-in-command of Passione.

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 on 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 the Joestar Group, whether the rest of his teammates admit it or not. He is named after [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Polnareff Michel Polnareff]].

* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: While under the influence of one of DIO's flesh buds, he has the personality of one, inserting GratuitousFrench into his sentences and making some rather [[DirtyCoward foul plays]]. One the flesh bud is removed, however, it's completely {{averted|trope}}, as his French heritage is rarely commented on, and him being HotBlooded leaves him with massive determination.

* 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.

[[caption-width-right:285:The Requiem Plays Quietly]]

* BishonenLine: Downplayed. In comparison to Silver Chariot- a robotic knight, it has a more humanoid design- resembling the outline of a nobleman with a wide-brimmed hat. However, it's just a blackish outline made of an unknown, plastic like material- making it more of a [[ClippedWingAngel blotched attempt at this]]. Assumably, if Polnareff had more control over the Arrow's power, its evolution would likely played it straight.

* 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".

* BishonenLine: Downplayed. In comparison to Silver Chariot- a robotic knight, it has a more humanoid design- resembling the outline of a nobleman with a wide-brimmed hat.

Assumably, if Polneraff had more control over the Arrow's power, its evolution would likely played it straight.

* 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.

'''''[[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]:''''' [[Characters/JoJosBizarreAdventureEnricoPucci Enrico Pucci]]\\

* 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]].

** Once Silver Chariot has used the blade of its rapier as a projectile, Polnareff must retrieve it before Silver Chariot can use its sword again, leaving him defenseless if it fails. For this reason, Polnareff treats this technique as a DesperationAttack.

* PokemonSpeak: Silver Chariot is silent for the most part, but it made "chamii" noises when Polnareff was a kid.
* RoyalRapier: Fitting the image of a French knight, Silver Chariot's weapon of choice is a long thin rapier with a deadly thrust.
* 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'', especially its helmet.
* SpamAttack: Silver Chariot can strike with his sword as swiftly as Star Platinum can [[RapidFireFisticuffs throw punches]].
* SuddenlyVoiced: Silver Chariot almost never speaks, but lets out a "Pamiiiii!" when reduced to child form.
* SuperSpeed: Silver Chariot's main power is its speed, with its attacks being close to the speed of light.

* 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.

* 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). Knowing that sticking with his group without a Stand means danger (which is why the group put Anne on a flight home), [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies Polnareff turns her down, pretending not to know her]], and for once, he's very serious about not pursuing romance.

* OddFriendship: Avdol and Polnareff could not be anymore different, and yet they're shown to be genuinely fond of each other when they first meet, and their bond grows ''greatly'' and become probably the tightest knit of the group, which is saying something. [[spoiler: Especially evident once Avdol makes his glorious return.]]
* OverlyLongTongue: He's fully capable of using his tongue to try to signal to his friends that [[spoiler: Hol Horse had him at gunpoint.]]

* {{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]].

* ManlyTears: Of all the Stardust Crusaders, these flow the easiest from his big, warm and kind heart.

* {{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?]]
