This same strength allows it to launch itself and its user into the air to clear long distances. Super Strength: Star Platinum possesses immense strength, being able to throw a Jeep carrying four men and a girl out of the path of an 18-wheeler with one hand, later pulling the same Jeep out of a canyon with only a car as a counter-weight, and destroy large artificial diamonds within seconds.In addition, Jotaro's eventual discovery of its true potential only makes it all the more formidable in combat. Coupled with Jotaro's own cleverness in combat, the Stand is capable of defeating most Stand users without the use of any complex abilities. Star Platinum is a Close-Range, with a basic reach of only 2 meters from Jotaro's body, but with incredible strength, speed, and precision.Īs one of the most powerful Stands featured in the series, Star Platinum has an overwhelming physical prowess in every basic characteristic, save for range. Star Platinum can bend steel with its bare hands Star Platinum is named after the seventeenth Tarot Card, The Star, which symbolizes optimism, discernment, and hope. Later on, Star Platinum gains Jotaro's stoic visage, with its future grins only serving to warn the unlucky target of Jotaro's rage that they are about to experience an unimaginable amount of pain. In the original manga, Star Platinum, early on, is seen with a wide, disconcerting smile. Star Platinum does demonstrate a sense of self-preservation, as seen when it halts a bullet Jotaro experimentally shoots at his own head, protects an incapacitated Jotaro from DIO's attacks during Time Stop, and revives him from near-death by directly pumping his heart (however, considering Star Platinum's pioneering role in the series, this capacity may speak primarily to the metaphysical or subconscious qualities of Stand users). With a relatively human face, it may show hints of emotion by scowling and smiling. It is silent, except when it throws punches, during which it cries "ORAORAORA!" loudly and repeatedly. Earlier depictions in the manga had Star Platinum wearing pants underneath its loincloth, and the Stardust Crusaders OVA keeps this design aspect throughout.ĭespite not having a consciousness of its own, Jotaro has described Star Platinum as very violent. It has a minimal range of clothing and armor, including a short, circular scarf, shoulder pads with a spiral design, long gloves with studs on the back, knee and elbow guards, a loincloth, and short boots (which became knee-length as of Part 6). Initially, its facial features were very similar to Jotaro's.Ī wavy line runs from each arm to the front of its torso, continuing down its legs. It wears a cap on its chin, and a metallic headband in three pieces, the central piece of which is shaped as a vertical ellipse. The spaces under its eyes and on its cheeks and chin are a darker color and divided clearly from the space around its nose and mouth. It has long, flowing hair with a darker shade above its eyes and on the bridge of its nose, blurring the distinction between its hair and head. In colored art, its skin is often a hue between purple, blue, green, and small bits of gold. Star Platinum is a humanoid Stand, resembling a tall, well-built man of similar proportions to Jotaro, if not more muscular.
