Johnny Joestar

Johnny Joestar is the protagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 7: Steel Ball Run, as well as a minor character in Part 8: JoJolion. He is the alternate universe counterpart of Jonathan Joestar.

Johnny is a former horse racing prodigy turned crippled and unable to use his legs after a youth shot him in the spine while waiting in line for a play. After leaving the hospital, he appears among a crowd of people witnessing a confrontation of Gyro Zeppeli and his pickpocketer. After following Gyro and touching the Steel Ball he had used, he discovered that his legs moved enough to allow him to stand. Though Gyro denies Johnny at first, he decides to follow him to the Steel Ball Run race after learning to ride his horse Slow Dancer. He impresses Gyro enough for him to give a lesson in the Spin and the two partner up to win the race.

The Spin can be considered the alternate universe counterpart of the Ripple, which, as the name implies, is a unique form of energy applicable to a number of purposes. It is a state of near perfect rotation that can be applied to any object, most preferably a special Steel Ball which acts as a throwing weapon. As for Johnny's Stand, he wields Tusk, which, like Koichi's Echoes, goes through multiple "acts" from 1 to 4 and allows Johnny to use the Spin to shoot his fingernails and toenails as if they were bullets.

In M.U.G.E.N, Johnny Joestar has been made once by salami.

Being based off his appearance in All-Star Battle, Johnny is not a beginner-friendly character to control due to his style of gameplay and Act mechanic. Should he be mastered, however, Johnny is a powerful zoner and though he may not have his Slow Dancer to assist him he is still a force to be feared.
