Jotaro has a tough exterior, introduced as a rather rough delinquent. In truth however, he is dedicated, fair, and loyal. He is highly perceptive, intelligent and quick-witted, while keeping a perpetually cool, slightly neutral or disinterested attitude. Two of his schoolmates and the school nurse affirm that it seems impossible to best him in a fight. After gaining Star Platinum, this trait easily carries over to his encounters with new Stand users. The only exception being Enrico Pucci, who was the only one who could kill him after gaining his most powerful stand Made in Heaven. Jotaro loves his mother and respects his grandfather, although he may not be overt about it. It is not that he is unaware of his own love and/or respect - rather, he thinks anyone can tell his emotions just by looking at him, and probably thinks further effort in portraying how he feels to be a waste of time. One of the strongest Stands in the series beside the other protagonists, Star Platinum possesses incredible senses, immense strength, stamina, accuracy and speed. Like other physically powerful (or Close-Range) Stands, Star Platinum suffers from a narrow range of activity; active only within a 2-3 meter radius from Jotaro. It is similar to Dio Brando's The World, and, as it turns out, can likewise be used to stop time; an ability revealed at the very end of his fight with Dio. The Tarot card The Star, after which it is named, symbolizes hope above all. Star Platinum: The World is the evolved version of Star Platinum which first appears near the end of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders during the climactic battle against DIO and is the highest form to which Jotaro is shown to develop his Stand. Star Platinum: The World can stop time for as long as five seconds. It is stated that it can freeze time for longer, but five seconds is the limit for human endurance under stopped time.
