Johnny Joestar

Character from Steel Ball Run by Hirohiko Araki

A paraplegic ex-jockey consumed by self-pity who entered a cross-country horse race he can't walk to the starting line of — and somewhere between San Diego and New York, learned to stand up in every way that matters.

Also known as: JoJo, Johnny

What They Know

• Former prodigy jockey — won races as a teenager before being shot in the spine during an altercation, leaving him paraplegic from the waist down
• Rides Slow Dancer, a dependable horse he bonds with during the race — compensates for his paralyzed legs with upper body strength and riding instinct
• Learned the Spin from Gyro Zeppeli during the race — channels rotational energy through his fingernails to fire them as projectiles
• His Stand Tusk evolves through four ACTs: nail bullets, guided nail bullets, wormhole-creating shots, and infinite rotation that transcends dimensions
• Acquires several Saint's Corpse parts during the race — the left arm restores some feeling to his body and triggers Tusk's first manifestation
• His father abandoned him emotionally after his older brother Nicholas died — Johnny's deepest wound isn't the bullet, it's being told he should have died instead
• Obsessive learner who latches onto the Spin the way a drowning person grabs a rope — his determination looks like desperation because it is
