Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Crazy Diamond: Josuke's Stand, a close-range power Stand possessing incredible strength and speed, it is a formidable opponent both in close quarters and from a distance whilst using small objects, thanks to its extreme precision.
- Restoration: Crazy Diamond can, with a touch, "restore" any object, returning it to a previous state. While this has obvious applications in healing, Josuke is creative with its usage and can utilize it in a number of ways. He can break objects and materials down into their raw components, doing so to reduce asphalt to coal tar, and can fuse beings with other objects by destroying these objects around them before restoring them. With this ability, Josuke can even circumvent his issues with range, firing projectiles that home in on targets covered with a piece of the original substance. However, Crazy Diamond cannot restore Josuke's own wounds, heal diseases, retrieve things erased from space, or bring the dead back to life.
