Josuke swearing to protect Morioh

At get-go impression, strangers are ofttimes intimidated past Josuke's delinquent appearance and hotheadedness, with Jotaro Kujo and Koichi Hirose both thinking Josuke was "scary" when they initially encountered him.^{[5] [x]} Indeed, his "runaway" attitude is conveyed through his rough language; he does not e'er display the deference towards adults and authority figures typically expected of a Japanese teenager, opting for a casual and straightforward tone. However, it is immediately apparent that Josuke has a deep capacity for kindness, with his anger but being an extension of his trend to display emotions openly and passionately. His outgoing and friendly nature allows him to befriend many Stand users over the grade of the story, converting enemies into allies. These bonds strengthen his resolve to protect the town of Morioh and the people he loves.

Josuke's empathy is clearly manifested in his Stand up, which has the ability to heal people and repair objects to a previous state. Already using his Stand to heal people and fixing broken basic as a young child, Josuke doesn't similar to see people in pain. Because he was always able to "set" people, he has difficulty accepting expiry as a permanent state that his Stand cannot change. For example, when he finds his grandfather expressionless, Josuke heals the wounds on his corpse and insists he is going to wake up fine, unable to have his decease as a reality until Jotaro gently tells him that no Stand can bring the dead back to life.^[11] This has a profound result on Josuke, who begins to see life as something even more worthy of protecting. Josuke will likewise go to great lengths to heal acquaintances or even enemies; during the Nijimura Brothers arc, he risks his life and sustains injuries to heal a severely wounded Okuyasu, even though he tried to kill Josuke moments ealier. His reasoning was "I just don't desire anyone to die." ^[12]

Overall, Josuke behaves like a teenager and, aside from his general goal of protecting Morioh from any Stand menace, is concerned by more down to earth matters, such as hanging out with his friends. As a result, Josuke is almost never seen alone in the streets of Morioh. Josuke passively protects his town, and just acts when direct asked by the much more proactive Jotaro or when he directly encounters a Stand User. Curious, Josuke is quick to investigate any unusual miracle, which often leads him to a Stand User. Josuke is very prone to openly communicate his feelings and emotions, making him appear to be a goofy private.

Sufficiently humble, Josuke confesses to beingness nervous around famous people, opting not to go with Koichi to first encounter Rohan Kishibe due to his slap-up fame equally a mangaka.^[xiii] Josuke as well has a fear of turtles, and has tried to touch a turtle to get rid of that fearfulness.^[5] Josuke isn't shy to admit his limits, and has confessed that he doesn't know much about manga, or isn't good at video games, even though he isn't happy to have someone know these factoids. In the aforementioned style, Josuke tries to live upwardly to Jotaro, whom he admires, and has been nervous around him due to a fearfulness of not living upwardly to the task Jotaro entrusted to him.^[14] He has as well shown a balmy fear of ghosts (in the beginning), as shown when Koichi wonders if he saw a ghost in the firm next to Josuke'southward, and Josuke nervously tells him to cut it out.

Josuke calmly aiming at Bug-Eaten in critical moment

All the same, in a fight, Josuke is much more than calm and observational, even though aspects of his goofiness tend to shine through. He has sufficient conviction in his own abilities, namely his Stand, but this doesn't extend to Josuke himself since he tin can all the same be nervous if things don't go his way. Additionally, Terunosuke Miyamoto observes that Josuke'southward nervous tic is to seize with teeth his lips.^[15] Even if Josuke is gentle by nature, he has no qualms about brutalizing an enemy and, in the case that someone has injure or endangered a loved ane, Josuke will be even more vindictive, as he fused Angelo with a rock^[16] and Terunosuke with a book.^[17]

Having inherited his father's mischievous side, Josuke has no qualms angle any established rules or even breaking the police force over his greedy pursuits. When he and Okuyasu see Shigechi, Josuke uses his cleverness and charisma to exploit Shigechi's Stand up Harvest to find discarded change and coupons^[18] from all over Morioh, and commits a felony past impersonating the original buyer of a winning lottery ticket in order to redeem the money.^[19] Similarly, afterward meeting Mikitaka Hazekura, he takes reward of his shape-shifting ability, convincing Mikitaka to turn into dice in order to cheat money from Rohan, with whom he has a bad human relationship.^[20] Josuke also steals Joseph's wallet equally he departs Morioh, with Josuke cheekily referring to information technology as his "allowance".^[21]

While Josuke does have his fair share of groupies, he deals with them much less dramatically than his father and nephew. He isn't perverted nor relentlessly flirtatious (unlike Joseph), but he doesn't leave of his way to get rid of them (different Jotaro). Instead, if the girls virtually Josuke express interest in him, he is flattered and has shown to go along quite well with his female person classmates and admirers.^[10] When Jotaro asks Josuke to go hunting, Josuke initially believes he ways hunting for girls and says with a blush and smile that he is more than of a 'love kind of guy'.^[14] He is likewise humorously noted to be jealous of Yuya Fungami'due south groupies.^[22] However, he seems to be willing to fight them every bit he threatened to kill Yukako if she tried to do annihilation to Koichi, with whom she was obsessed.^[23] While he does express interest in women, it is not his chief priority.

As a catchphrase, Josuke often says "Great" in English. He also displays an odd quirk whenever he pronounces the Japanese phrase kakkoii (かっこいい), a masculine compliment essentially meaning "cool", where he will always pronounce it weirdly like "Kappyoii" or "Kacchoii." These mispronunciations are translated equally "kewl" in the English language Crunchyroll subtitles.

"What'd you lot say near my hair?"

Josuke is hyper-sensitive about his unique hairstyle, reacting violently to anyone that mocks it.^[10] Koichi believes this idiosyncrasy is due to Josuke treating it as an insult to his childhood savior that he modeled his own style upon.^[vii] Josuke automatically enters a blind rage, regardless of the circumstances, and doesn't hesitate to attack people he may have deferred to moments earlier, such equally an upperclassman that was bullying him.^[v] This "blind rage" is also literal; when Rohan Kishibe openly mocks Josuke's hair in an attempt to manipulate him into looking at his manuscript, Josuke is so enraged that he cannot run across it correct in front of him, and beats Rohan so severely that he is sent to the hospital and forced to put his manga on hiatus for two months.^[7]

Araki explains that Josuke was truly hurt past the fact that he grew up never knowing his begetter and that he covered up this pain with the pompadour man who saved him as a child. According to Araki, Josuke considers that man a hero, somebody he can rely on, and a symbol of his faith in people.^[24]

In the spin-off Crazy Diamond'due south Demonic Heartbreak, Josuke reveals that he also felt anxious about beingness a Stand up User because he was the only one in his entourage to take one and he believed that he suffered from a affliction.^[25]
