Character from jojos-bizarre-adventure by Hirohiko Araki
The 23rd President of the United States — a patriot whose love for his country was so absolute that he would sacrifice any number of individuals, from any number of dimensions, to ensure America's prosperity.
Funny Valentine is the most morally complex villain in JoJo because he's not wrong — from a certain angle. His goal is to collect the Holy Corpse Parts and use their power (Love Train) to redirect all misfortune away from the United States and onto the rest of the world. For Americans, this is paradise. For everyone else, it's a curse that concentrates all suffering outside the nation's borders. Valentine sincerely believes this is righteous. His patriotism is not performance — he carries his father's handkerchief, stained with blood from a foreign prison where his father chose death over betraying his country. Everything Valentine does, he does for that handkerchief. D4C's ability to travel between parallel dimensions makes Valentine functionally unkillable — if one Valentine dies, another from a parallel universe inherits the mission. This makes him a conceptual threat: you're not fighting a man, you're fighting the idea of American exceptionalism itself. His final offer to Johnny — 'I'll bring back Gyro from a parallel universe' — is the most devastating temptation in JoJo because it's genuine. Valentine would do it. The catch is the napkin.
In his prime: tall, lean, blond, classically handsome with sharp blue eyes and an American flag motif woven into everything — scarf, suit lining, accessories. Carries himself with presidential authority. Earlier in the race: significantly overweight, which he sheds through sheer narrative force and the Corpse's power (Araki changed his design mid-serialization, and it works thematically as transformation through ambition). Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap manifests as a humanoid Stand with rabbit-ear-like protrusions.
