• Jothar's complicated relationship with his mother is illuminated in his unique dialogue.

• Jathar's iconic expressions and demeanor show his fearless nature.

“What you owe me will never come back in money”

Jothar's morality shines through during his battle with Steely Dan

• Stardust Crusaders episode 17

Jotaro says this particular line during his epic battle against Steely Dan. After Dio's henchman tried to defeat Jotaro by penetrating his body using his unique stance, The Lovers, Jotaro eventually managed to get a hold of him and give him this quick advice before hitting him with a flurry of punches from Star Platinum.

Jotaro may seem like a pretty cold guy, but he still has a strong sense of morality, as shown when he refuses to take Dan's money to get him off the hook. In order to save his own mother from certain death, Jotaro must fight many tough opponents before finally reaching Dio, which is achieved through his own perseverance and self-sacrifice. So it's a line that reminds the audience of Jothar's humanity, which only rarely shines through.

“When a life is taken, it will never come back. No matter how hard it is, it can't bring him back.”

The loss of his friends made Jotaro appreciate life more than ever

• Diamond indestructible episode 2

This line is admittedly a little ironic considering that after part 4 there will be Stands in the future that can manipulate life in several ways, but it still speaks volumes about Jothar's mentality and how he has changed since the events with Dio in Stardust Crusaders . Jotaro knows full well that the Stands can have immense power considering he is the master of Star Platinum, but as powerful as they are, the ability to cheat death was never considered a possibility during his adventures.

At the same time, Jotaro lost two very close friends during his mission in Part 3, which seemingly made him see life itself as something to be cherished while it was still possible. It's also one of the few times Jatara speaks in a calm and somber tone, showing how much these deaths have affected him.

“I came to Egypt to save my mother, so if I stake her soul, she will not complain”

An absurd line that sums up Jathar's complicated relationship with his mother

• Stardust Crusaders, episode 35

Jotaro has an interesting relationship with his mother, to say the least. Although he is often seen insulting his mother and annoyed by her love for him, deep down he also cares deeply for her and goes on his mission to Egypt solely for her. His complicated connection to her is revealed during Jothar's duel with D'Arby, where he decides to put his own mother's soul at risk in order to put enough pressure on his opponent to reveal information about Dio's stand.

A risky decision to be sure, but it ends up working as D'Arby is forced to release all the souls he's acquired, believing he has no chance of winning a match with such high stakes. Still, it's a weird line that only a character from such a stupid series could say with a straight face.

5

“I can't beat you without getting close”

Jothar's unflinching reaction to Dio demonstrates just how fearless he is

• Stardust Crusaders Episode 46

Jotaro's confrontation with Dio, and the few lines of dialogue that accompany it before the two go at it, is one of the most iconic moments in the story Jojo. While Dio's “So you're approaching me?” is a quote that no fan can ever forget, Jattar's rude reply is remembered as much because of how rude and brutal it is.

Considering how long it's been since these two characters have met face to face, seeing them finally speak to each other with all the disdain in the world makes these small lines of dialogue all the more impressive. Jotaro cleverly used these particular words to get at Dio, but they also show how fearless the former really is, even when facing a powerful villain like Dio.

“It's a nice watch. But I'll break it so you'll never see the time again.”

Jotaro's unique way of telling Kira that he was going to beat him with the star dam

• Diamond is unbreakable, episode 24

Jotaro has a rather unique way of telling someone he's going to beat the crap out of them, a prime example being this line he says to Kira in Part 4. After he casually complimented his watch, Jotaro threatened to , which immediately put Cyrus on edge, letting him know that the man who says nice things about his jewelry isn't as sincere as he seems.

This quote reminds the audience how random the dialogue is Jojo maybe constantly pushing expectations to create some of the funniest lines of dialogue in any anime series. While those are unfamiliar with Jojo may take the first half of that line as an actual compliment, only fans of the series will know the true context.

“My position will be a judge”

Jatara may not be a law-abiding citizen, but he's not averse to taking the law into his own hands

• Stardust Crusaders episode 3

This epic phrase is heard during Jotaro's monologue during the battle with Kakyoin at the beginning of Stardust Crusaders. During said monologue, Jotaro explains that many would call him a “punk” given that he often disobeys the law, but at the end of his speech, he turns it all back, saying that his own position, Star Platinum, is the only one who can judge others who deny the rules.

In this case, he refers to Kakyoin's own stand, Hierophant Green, who is able to control people, meaning he technically cannot be held accountable for his actions. Luckily, Jotaro was there to break the law the only way he knew how by beating the snot out of Kakyoin to knock some sense into him and free him from Dio's control.

“ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA”

Jathar's iconic song that plays every time a star dam is released

• Stardust Crusaders episode 3

Jotaro and his gang face a host of unique foes on their mission to destroy Dio, but many of them meet the same fate of being blasted to pieces by Jotaro's Star Platinum. After explaining what the villain did wrong, Jotaro usually decides to end the battle by letting his stand run wild while yelling “ORA” over and over to get his attack up.

Every time Jotaro unleashes his signature 'Ora', fans can expect thrilling destruction of the opponent in the most brutal way possible. This quote is even more impressive when Jataro says it after not fighting for a while, such as the few times he shouts it out loud in part 4.

“Yare Yare Daze”

A catchphrase that emphasizes Jathar's disinterested and reserved personality

Roughly translating to “Good Grief” in English, it's a line that Jotaro repeats many times throughout his mission to stop Dio in Part 3, so much so that it's become his catchphrase. Unlike the dashing Joseph or the heroic Jonathan, Jotaro can come across as rather uninterested and reserved, causing him to get easily irritated whenever people show him too much attention or simply get on his nerves.

However, as Jotaro grows stronger and improves his relationship with Star Platinum, he also begins to use this quote when confronting the many opponents he encounters as he travels the world, as a simple way to mock their inferiority. It's a line that ultimately became synonymous with Jothar because of how perfectly it sums up his casually cool and calculated personality.
