Jonathan Joestar

Jonathan Joestar is the main protagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood, as well as the first JoJo of the series.

Jonathan was born the son of the wealthy George Joestar, and was involved in a carriage accident when he was an infant, leading to his mother's death. That accident brought Dio Brando into Jonathan's life, as Dio's father unwittingly saved Jonathan's father. Dio would visit the Joestars 12 years later after his father's death, and the Joestars decided to adopt him as Jonathan's brother. Jonathan and Dio quickly became enemies despite Jonathan trying to be nice to Dio.

Seven years later, Jonathan finds out Dio's plan of attempting to kill George Joestar to take the Joestar's fortune for himself. After cornering Dio by waiting for him at the Joestar estate, Dio rejects his humanity and uses George's blood to activate the Stone Mask and make him a vampire. After attempting to set his house on fire to counter Dio's new powers, he suffers burns and bad injuries and is taken to the hospital.

After being discharged from the hospital, Jonathan meets William Anthonio Zeppelli, who heals his wounds and offers to train him in fighting to defeat Dio. Jonathan agrees and learns several techniques he later uses in his next encounter with Dio, along with other enemies and zombies sent by Dio.

Jonathan does not have a Stand, but he is instead trained in the Ripple, a fictional form of martial arts which allows the user to send ripples throughout their body that are identical to the sun through concentrated breathing. It can also be used to heal wounds or ailments and is very effective against vampires and the Pillar Men. Users must control their breathing to produce an optimized Ripple.

In M.U.G.E.N, Jonathan has been made by AceAcguy and Amarimono.

Amarimono's version


An All-Star Batlle styled character, this version of the ripple fighter is a solid choice of rushdown character, and despite having a somewhat limited moveset, Jonathan is still capable of peforming damaging combos, complete with an A.I. standard of Amarimono's characters.
