Summary
Jonathan Joestar, nicknamed JoJo, is the first "JoJo" of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and the main protagonist of Part I: Phantom Blood. He discovers the malicious intent that his adopted brother, Dio Brando, had been planning against his family for several years. This leads to the penultimate discovery based on his research of the Stone Mask that Dio had brought upon himself. To counter Dio and his new supernatural forces, he trains in the art of the Ripple to end his brother's path of evil.

Long after his death, his body developed a Hermit Purple-like Stand that has clairvoyant/psychic powers alongside Incorporeality and Invisibility
Attack Potency: Building level (Tackled Dio through a wall before even learning of Hamon and his training. Defeated Jack the Ripper, Bruford and Wang Chan, other than being able to effortlessly defeat weaker zombies[Note 1]), can ignore conventional durability with Hamon. | Large Building level (Effortlessly overpowered and killed Tarkus despite being previously outmatched and is demonstrably equal with Dio Brando; Damaging him with a punch, bisecting him even after meeting resistance and ultimately defeated him[Note 2]), can ignore conventional durability with Hamon.
Speed: Hypersonic+ (Equal in speed with Will Anthonio Zeppeli and intercepted a casual attack from Dio[Note 3]) | Massively FTL (Fought on par with Dio Brando, being fast enough to react to his attacks, slice him with his sword or also counter Dio's blows.[Note 4] Easily defeated Tarkus, who blitzed Will Anthonio Zeppeli. Has reacted to Dio's Space Ripper Stingy Eyes and outpaced an explosion while dying)
Lifting Strength: At least Superhuman (Before his training he could keep advancing forward despite having three athletes clinging on to him, should be much greater after training) | At least Class K (Effortlessly overpowered and flung around Tarkus as he attempted to resist[Note 5])

Durability: Building level (Tanked hits from Jack the Ripper and Tarkus. While being without Hamon and reduced to nothing but a corpse, his body could survive being caught within a massive explosion) | Large Building level (Can take hits from the likes of Dio Brando)
Stamina: Superhuman (Can fight multiple zombies and vampires at once despite being injured, lasted a few minutes despite his neck being pierced)
Range: Standard Melee Range, Extended Melee Range with Luck & Pluck and Zoom Punch. Several Meters depending on what he channels the Hamon/Ripple through.
Standard Equipment: Luck & Pluck (His sword)
Intelligence: Gifted (Attended an upper-class academy with the intent on graduating as an archaeologist and his archaeological research was the key to unlocking the secret of the Stone Mask. Master of the Ancient Martial Art of Hamon, he managed to see through Dio's plans when no one else could, effective combat strategist, surprisingly well at sleight of hand, as shown by his ability to obtain a handful of roses without anyone seeing and decently skilled with the sword.)
Weaknesses: He must maintain a proper breathing rhythm in order to use Hamon. His breathing can be interrupted by outside forces and stop the flow of Hamon.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Hamon/Ripple/Sendo: Hamon/the Ripple/Sendo is a form of energy that relies on breathing techniques to replicate the power of the Sun. It can be used to enhance physical attributes, heal wounds, and acts as both an offensive and defensive tool. Due to its solar connection, it has an advantage over creatures weak to sunlight. Jonathan, through the use of Hamon energy, can: increase jumping height, walk on water, strengthen objects and increase their potency, revive plants, bypass and hit targets behind armor and objects, store Hamon within organisms like snakes and roses, infuse objects with Hamon, mind control, null pain, heal scars, broken bones, wounds and more. While Hamon is primarily a weapon against enemies weak to sunlight, it can be just as deadly against humans, as hitting a human being with Hamon can stop their heart if they're not strong enough.
- Zoom Punch: Jonathan stretches the joints in his arm via Hamon in order to extend his reach launching his fist forward and strike his opponent.
- Sendo Hamon Overdrive: Hamon releases from Jonathan's arm and into whatever he releases it into. It can be used as both a direct and indirect attack, as it has gone from simply transferring into another living being and traveling from walls and mountainsides to release from a specific point.
- Scarlet Overdrive: Jonathan creates a ripple of flame onto a select part of his body. It can transfer onto other objects, which can also catch on fire.
- Underwater Turquoise Blue Overdrive: Jonathan releases a tempest that propels enemies and water away from him. This technique was only used and is likely only to be used under or with water.
- Overdrive Barrage: Numerous Overdrives are sent at once through consecutive attacks.
- Metal Silver Overdrive: Jonathan sends a Ripple that transfers through types of metal. This technique was used against Bruford with his sword.
- Life Magnetism Overdrive: Jonathan either draws life from or gives life to plants. It was used to both draw leaves together like a magnet into the shape of a hang glider (with the aid of Zeppeli) and to revive the wilting flowers of a dead tree.
- Sunlight Yellow Overdrive: JoJo's signature and most powerful attack. Jonathan unleashes a powerful flurry of Hamon-filled punches, attacking fast enough to create afterimages with his fists.
- Supreme Deep Pass Overdrive: Used on Jonathan by Will Zeppeli. It had transferred all of his life energy into Jonathan, permanently boosting all of his physical abilities beyond that of his own.
- Hermit Purple#2: DIO, after taking over Jonathan's body, awakened a Stand that was originally Jonathan's. It's completely identical to Joseph Joestar's Hermit Purple, which can produce psychic photography used to track the Joestars, and as such should be capable of performing the feats the original had accomplished.
Others: Not to be confused with Steel Ball Run's Johnny Joestar.
