'''Johnny''': [[SarcasmMode Ah... Oh man. It's great! It's awesome! This is insane! It's get stuck in your head so easily! Especially the "rella rella" part.. Its like... a masterpiece! I can't get it out of my mind! it'll definitely be a hit back in [[spoiler:Europe.]]]]

* PyrrhicVictory: [[spoiler: A number of his fights end this way, notably when Gyro's out of commission and he has to take over. He defeats Sandman, but then Hot Pants knocks him out and takes some of his corpse parts. He and Gyro ward off assassins', but then Johnny is forced to give up the parts they gained to save him from becoming a tree. He has Axl Rose in the ropes, but then Valentine shows up, shoots rose, and takes the rest of the holy corpse. He defeats Valentine, but at the cost of Gyro's life.]]

* TheProtagonist

* HelloNurse: Is married to Stephen, Mountain Tim has feelings for her, and Scarlet is more than eager to have sex with her.

* {{Bifauxnen}}

* RagsToRiches

* HelloNurse: Is married to Steven, Mountain Tim has feelings for her, and Scarlet is more than eager to have sex with her.

* APlagueInBothYourHouses: Dies while cursing Johnny, Gyro and Lucy and calling them sinners.

* ScaryCompetentTracker: He discovers Lucy and Mountain Tim in a blink. He is way more observant than the average president underling.

* MsFanservice: So much so that [[Main/EvenTheGirlsWantHer the President's wife took an interest in her.]]

* AntiVillain

* {{Expy}}: To Part 4's Koichi Hirose, since both Echoes and In A Silent Way involve manipulating sounds [[spoiler: and can manifest those sounds as active effects in the case of Echoes Act 2]]

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:The first victim of Tusk Act 2.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:His two navels foreshadow the next arc]].
* RedHerring: During the confrontation with the Stand "In A Silent Way", Johnny (and by extension, the reader) presumed that he was the user. [[spoiler:No less than three pages later, we find out it's actually Soundman.]]

** DepravedBisexual: Lucy drugs her and sneaks into Valentine's room to steal his corpse part. Scarlet wakes up and ambushes her, furious that Lucy had just pretended to like her to get to Valentine.

* AbusiveParents: UpToEleven if it were possible with Dario.

* KarmaHoudini: Nothing has been said about his fate except Diego wants to find him for what he did. [[spoiler:[[KilledOffForReal Unfortunately he didn't get a chance]]]].

* TookALevelInJerkass: While the original universe Dario was a drunk and [[AbusiveParents an abusive father]] that led Dio to evil, he still ultimately cared for his welfare. Here, he's an unrepentant {{Jerkass}} who throws Diego into the river in hopes he'll die to not have another mouth to feed.

* {{Expy}}: Of Rudolf von Stroheim.

* HiveMind

* Decoy Protagonist: Flip flopped, due to his namesake, readers may assume Johnny is the protagonist of the story. But according to Word of God, Gyro was originally written in the early parts of Steel Ball Run to be the protagonist. However, midway through the story Johnny starts to take more and more of a traditional protagonist role.

-> Voiced by: YuukiKaji (''All-Star Battle'' and ''Eyes of Heaven''), Creator/TakahiroMizushima (radio drama)

* GroundhogDayLoop: Only six seconds worth, and they have to be spaced out by at least a minute. But everyone gets to react to what they know will happen in those six seconds.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Naturally, with his nail bullets. [[spoiler:Case in point: He hits Alternate Diego through a New York City street from the sewer below, while on a horse, ''just from the sound of the hoof-beats of Diego's horse.''

** [[spoiler:Tusk Act 4 masters it, being able to tear holes in physical and dimensional walls, such as ripping open a portal from a New York City street into the sewer below, and literally ripping D4C Love Train's dimensional barrier open with its own two hands.
