Jotaro says this specific line during his epic match against Steely Dan. After Dio's henchman tries to defeat Jotaro by infiltrating his body with his unique stand, The Lovers, Jotaro finally manages to get the one on him and gives him this quick advice before hitting him with a flurry of punches from Star Platinum.

Jotaro may seem like a pretty cold-blooded guy, but he still has a solid sense of morality, as shown when he refuses to take Dan's money to let him screw him up. In order to save his mother from certain death, Jotaro must fight many tough opponents before finally reaching Dio, all of which he achieved through his own perseverance and self-sacrifice. That's why it's a line that reminds viewers of Jotaro's humanity, which only rarely shines through.

“Once a life is taken, it can never be returned. No matter the attitude, it cannot be given back”

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

• Diamond Is Unbreakable Episode 2

This line is admittedly a little ironic considering that after part 4 there are future Stands that can manipulate life in several ways, but it still says a lot about Jotaro's mentality and how it changed after the events with Die in Stardust Crusaders. Jotaro knows very well that the Stands can have immense power considering it is the host of Star Platinum, but as powerful as they are, the ability to cheat death was never seen as 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 cherish while it still lasts. It's also one of the few times Jotaro speaks in a calm and somber tone to his voice, showing how much these deaths have affected him.

“I came to Egypt to save my mother, so if I stake her soul, she won't complain”

An absurd line that sums up Jotaro's complex relationship with his mother

• Stardust Crusaders Episode 35

His complex bond with her is highlighted during Jotaro's duel with D'arby, where he chooses to insert his own mother's soul to put enough pressure on his opponent to reveal information about the Zeus Stand.

A risky decision to be sure, but one that actually works in the end, as D'arby is forced to release all the souls he's acquired after believing he has no chance of winning a match with such high stakes. Still, it's an outlandish line that only a character in a series as wacky as this could say with a straight face.

“Can't Beat The S*** Out Of You Without Getting Close”

Jotaro's unwavering reaction to Dio shows how fearless he is

• Stardust Crusaders Episode 46

Jotaro's spat 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 history JoJo's. While Dio “So you're approaching me?” is a quote no fan will ever forget, Jotaro's rude response is just as memorable because of how blunt and blunt it is.

Considering how long it took for these two characters to come face to face, seeing them finally speak to each other with all the disdain in the world makes these little lines of dialogue all the more impressive. Jotaro was smart to use those particular words to get under Dio's skin, but they also show how fearless the former is even when facing a villain as powerful as Dio.

While they don't know you JoJo's may see the first half of that line as a real compliment, only fans of the series will be aware of the true context.

• Stardust Crusaders Episode 3

This epic line is said during Jotaro's monologue while fighting Kakyoin at the beginning of Stardust Crusaders. During said monologue, Jotaro explains that many would call him a “punk” because he often breaks the law, but at the end of his speech, he brings it all into perspective, saying that his own stall, Star Platinum, is the only one. one who can judge others who negate the rules.

In this case, he's referring to Kakyoin's Stand himself, Hierophant Green, who is able to control people, meaning he technically can't be held accountable for his actions. Luckily, Jotaro was there to enact the law the only way he knew how, by beating the crap out of Kakyoin, knocking some sense into him and freeing him from Dio's control.

“ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA”

Jotara's iconic chant that is heard every time a star platinum is released

• Stardust Crusaders Episode 3

Jotaro and the gang encounter many unique adversaries in their mission to bring down Zeus, but many of them end up suffering the same fate: they are torn apart by Jotaro's Star Platinum.

“Yare Yare Daze”

A clever phrase that highlights Jotaro's dispassionate and reserved personality

Roughly translating to “Good grief” in English, it's a line that Jotaro says many times during his mission to stop Zeus during Part 3, so much so that it basically becomes his catchphrase. Unlike the brave Joseph or the heroic Jonathan, Jotaro can come across as quite uninterested and aloof, causing him to become easily upset whenever people show him too much attention or simply get on his nerves.

However, as Jotaro grows stronger and cultivates his relationship with Star Platinum, he also begins to use this quote when facing the many adversaries he encounters as he travels the world, as a simple way to mock their inferiority. This is the line that eventually became synonymous with Jotaro for how perfectly it sums up his casually cold and calculating personality.
