The entire show is infused with camp, and Jotaro's stoic nature is played for laughs fairly often. Also I am very amused by the idea that Araki doesn't seem to understand the concept of a uniform, given that's what both Jotaro and Kakyoin are supposed to be wearing. It's worth noting they go to the same school.
Hey, Jotaro's uniform is personally modified as part of his delinquent persona (many of the cast of Diamond is Unbreakable similarly have customized uniforms). And it's very possible Kakyoin doesn't go to Jotaro's school, he claimed to be a transfer student but it may have just been part of the literal brainwormed ploy to try and kill him.
He gets it replaced on short notice in Egypt, as an exact copy of the one destroyed in the prior episode, and that's even funnier
Also when you get to Stone Ocean and literally none of the prisoners have clothing that resemble any other prisoners it's clear that Araki is either having a laugh or genuinely does not understand what a uniform is
You have a point but I think the funniest example of Araki's design philosophy is when he has a character in Vento Aureo say that mafia members dress discreetly and don't stand out in a crowd and then proceeds to design the entire rest of the cast Like That
jotaro is for sure the most edgelord of all the jojos, Josuke comes immediately after and is wayyy more personable
personally i dont mind jotaro, he's almost so edgy it comes around to being camp - but not all the time, unfortunately
ok apparently there's an OVA so I'll watch that then skip to the next part.
i will warn you, jotaro IS in part 4, but he's far more matured and more palatable as a background character, if you find him too much in part 3
Jotaro is like the second main character in part 4. Calling him a background character is a stretch.
no, the main character is Koichi, and Josuke is the second main
'not the main character' might be more accurate, thats fair lol
