Now Viewing: joseph_joestar_(young)Tag type: Character Refers to the younger version of Joseph Joestar who has black hair and wears a scarf. He is the main character of Battle Tendency and is much wilder in personality in contrast to his older self. He is a Ripple user, but his true speciality is playing clever tricks on his opponents, a skill he had even as a young boy. He can seem brash and rude at times, but he is very devoted to his grandmother Erina Pendleton and his uncle Robert E. Speedwagon. Unlike his older self, he does not have a Stand because Araki Hirohiko came up with the idea when he started Stardust Crusaders. He also has the ability to predict what an opponent is about to say. Every time he does so is a sign that he's about to get the upper hand in a fight. Joseph is also notable for representing the series' shift from martial arts-based combat to emphasizing clever tactics in order to win fights as Joseph's greatest strength is his ability to surprise his opponents. He also makes an appearance as a playable character in the Capcom Jojo fighting game complete with a few references to Battle Tendency's story. Araki deliberately designed Joseph to physically resemble his predecessor Jonathan As Araki had previously made the unprecedented, in shonen action manga, decision to kill off the previous protagonist and who the audience assumed was meant to be the hero of the whole saga, Joseph's physical similarity to Jonathan was a way of reminding the readers that they were still reading the same series. Araki also intended Joseph to be the link between the various Jojo generations, which is why he appeared in Parts 3 and 4. Because of this, Araki had no intention of ever killing off Joseph although he still tried to make readers think he might by putting Joseph through a few near-death situations. He is voiced by Ohtsuka_Hochu (Capcom game) and Sugita_Tomokazu (All Star Battle) Other Wiki Information Last updated: 02/02/17 4:22 AM by jojosstand This entry is not locked and you can edit it as you see fit. |
