* {{Stripperific}}: His default outfit bares the most skin out of any of the main characters' alongside Jolyne's. So of course the official artwork for the anime is going to stick him in [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/1308657/ a belly shirt and pair of pants that looks ready to either fall off or burst]], then milk it even further by [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/1318750/ giving him Jolyne's pants]] and making his outfit [[SerialEscalation even more revealing]].

Later he mentions having learned much of what he does strategically from ''TheArtOfWar''.

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 Asia and attaining a level of immortality that would render them absolutely invincible.
Following that, he joined up with his grandson, Jotaro, in order to put a stop to the revived Dio Brando. His role during these events was more or less a supporting part, though he did get a few moments to himself.
His final appearance was during the events of Diamond is Unbreakable, where he met his biological son Josuke and adopted the child known as Achtung Baby (later christened Shizuka Joestar).
-----
* ArtificialLimbs: [[spoiler:[[ThoseWackyNazis Stroheim's associates]]]] gave him a robotic hand to replace the one that he lost [[spoiler:during his final fight against Cars.]]
