[Introduction]
Well..
It’s been a considerable while since the last one.
There’s people that don’t even know that this series existed since the Jonathan one
probably.
Well let’s get into this and break Joseph Joestar down.
You beautiful stallion.
Joseph Joestar, the second Jojo in the line of Jojo’s that did stuff and got their own
part, meaning I’m excluding the previous father’s because they got 86’d by evil
do-ers that added onto the plot.
Star of Battle Tendency, and of the most debatable Jojo’s because for some reason it’s either
you love him or hate him.
If you ask me which you’re probably not, I’m in between with Joseph.
I think he follows the whole smart, but dumb guy prankster type in Shonen so he made it
pretty easy to appeal to, but at the same time I’ve already seen that type of character
so much.
My favorite character in Battle Tendency was the narrator to be honest.
So much power by being in it, but at the same time not being involved what’s so ever besides
narrating.
But we’re not here for my opinions, we’re here because you wanted to know how strong
Joseph Joestar is.
Possibly so you can compare him to the other Jojo’s and try to give valid points on how
he can beat the other Jojo’s when realistically he’s probably at the bottom of the stand
using food chain.
So there’s factors of his strength that I have to breakdown and give their shine.
There’s actual strength, speed, and durability.
With a few extra parts highlighting other things about him.
Let’s get into the strength.
In episode 10, which was episode 1 of battle tendency, there’s Joseph’s confrontation
with two cops.
With the power of anger, he duffs one of the cops that had disrespected him.
Leaving the cop with broken teeth and finger through the nose.
There’s factors when it comes to puncturing because it’s not that hard to prick yourself
with a needle, but doing that with a human finger is a whole nother story.
Now when Joseph was undergoing training before he actually got to his real training, I thought
the show was wrong.
Him and Caesar climbed 78ft over the course of 60 hours.
He held himself up for that long, the hamon helps but that all can’t be the hamon.
If you want to imagine doing this or actually do this, put your fingers only on a wall or
on some monkey bars or something and try to stay there for 60 hours.
I bet you can’t.
(Don’t actually do that because I’ll be worried about you and I don’t want you to
die or get really hungry and die.)
This feat specifically really puzzles me because how are you able to keep yourself up
for so long.
Like they say Lions are 20x stronger than humans, but Mufasa didn’t even hang on longer
than 5 minutes.
Along with that, the way he’s holding on to the wall would be more difficult than a
dead hang.
The most fit people peak at around 2 minutes dead hanging.
I’d put his strength at either enhanced strength or peak human strength.
I don’t believe at all that his strength is supernatural or something.
One because in the fight with Wamuu, Episode ??.
Remember how he couldn’t draw back the crossbow?
That’s why I believe that he’s at least at peak strength because what he has done
added up as a whole to that.
Along with that he didn’t lift that rock that leveled Caesar.
At least those with tier one supernatural strength could lift rocks like that.
Now I’d say we’re pretty much done for strength.
Onto Durability, this is where I know he’s not only stronger than the regular man but
he also can take hits better too.
We’re going to take a lot from his fights with Pillar Men.
Taking a hit from a crossbow launching an iron ball that couldn’t shoot right through
him, but should’ve at least broken some ribs.
Along with that it had to be going pretty fast to loop around a colosseum that I could
probably compare to the original Roman colosseum which covered about 6 acres.
He also took a Divine Sandstorm a jump away from point blank.
Now a point blank Divine Sandstorm should kill someone pretty easy, we learned that
the hard way.
Joseph couldn’t leap too far from it, I’d say the jump maxes out around 7-10 feet.
Even then, the Divine Sandstorm had torn through pillars of solid rock.
Now I’m not a doctor but if air that can through rock hits a person, they should be
well over dead.
I’m going to say anime mechanics because we need Joseph, but the Divine Sandstorm should’ve
killed him because this doesn’t add up.
Also with Joseph’s logic, someone else shouldn’t have died from that either.
But then again logic doesn’t apply here, in the fight with Ultimate Kars where his
Hamon was made to be as strong as the actual sun and he had struck Joseph’s knee, spoiler
alert he doesn’t lose that knee.
It should’ve easily melted his knee.
Speaking of the fight with Kars, the whole thing is bull.
He pilots a plane with no windshield, how are you breathing.
You don’t even have a mask giving you oxygen.
Also in that same plane he was attacked by piranhas which I’ll give it to him for not
really dying to them because there’s no water so they shouldn’t prosper anyways.
After Joseph quote unquote won the fight, he falls…
Far.
He survives a fall from the upper atmosphere on a rock.
I guess the water has some type of live saving super armor type of thing going on just like
how in Assassin’s Creed you can just drop into a batch of hay and be totally fine.
I understand that if you just dive into water you should always be fine, but he was on a
giant piece of rock that basically belly flopped into water.
The impact could’ve gave some major whiplash or something I don’t know, I just know anyone
else would’ve been dead if they fell from even half the distance.
Oh yeah and then there was when he was being absorbed by Santana who dissolves flesh at
a cellular level but we’re just going to slide past that.
Now for speed..
He’s a quick thinker and pretty agile, I’ll give him that.
If you saw the fight with him and ACDC, he’s a slick little joestar.
Also let me fix this for people thinking about this.
The Space Ripper Stingy Eyes are not eye lasers.
So no, him dodging those wouldn’t make him faster than light or something.
The SRSE is just vampire essence, meaning it’s a liquid.
You can compare this to a gun if a gun shot out water bullets.
Kaleb, don’t forget the Hamon abilities.
Oh I will not viewer that sounds like me for some reason.
Let’s list off everything Joseph used Hamon on and his Hamon abilities.
Hamon Overdrive, Rebuff Overdrive, Zoom Punch, Fizzy Cola Overdrive, Cactus Canon Overdrive,
CLACKER VOLLEY, Ink Noodle Overdrive, Firearm Baseball Bat Overdrive, Hard Head Hair Overdrive,
Surprise Pigeon Kiss Overdrive, and Teen Anger Mind Wipe Overdrive.
Now I could get into Stardust Crusaders Joseph, but this video is Battle Tendency only.
The last notes I had for Joseph was just based off of his trickster style of not only fighting,
but his way of life.
Is “What you’ll say next” is a huge staple that had made a Jojo what it is.
Along with Jotaro’s Temper, Josuke’s Hair, Jonathan and.. The way he says unforgivable
and that one fight where he did Sunlight Yellow Overdrive, his staple is pretty specific.
There’s not really a known exact reason how he knows what people are going to say
next, but I’d say to sub to the channel so you can see the video where I do go over
this and the information behind it.
Now from what we got altogether how strong is Joseph Joestar has a whole.
He’s a very tactical fighter with definitely above average strength, enhanced strength
can be considered, but not to the point of where he’s in a league of boulder throwers.
From results he can beat anyone that’s in the range of humans to beings that can transform
their body to any living entity that’s on the earth.
So I’d say a human to mythical being range that doesn’t go to the level of actual gods.
If it’s pure strength you want, you pick Jonathan.
If you want literally anything else, you pick the stand using Joestars.
But if you want to bs a fight that you were sure your character wins, Young Joseph will
get them every time.
Comment what character you guys want to see next, even though it probably doesn’t matter
because if you check the previous Outside of Videos, there’s one specific character
that everyone already asked me to do.
A character that actually had more votes than Joseph.
Comment if you know what character it is, but seriously you can actually write down
a character in the google polls you want to see featured.
You can pick one from the choices or submit your own.
Make sure if you do send in a character, put their franchise in parentheses or brackets.
I don’t want everyone typing in Raiden and I end up doing the Mortal Kombat Raiden when
everyone meant Metal Gear.
Thank you guys for watching!
Subscribe and like the video for more of these, that way I know you guys like it so I can
keep making them.
But I’m Kaleb I.A., peace out and God Speed.
