Jump Force has been the talk of the town for the last year, the weekly shonen anime town that is. The game is supposed to feature shonen characters from many mangas and animes, including: One Piece, My Hero Academia, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, Hunter X Hunter, Bleach, Saint Seiya, Yu-Gi-Oh, Dragon Ball, Fist of the North Star, City Hunter, Dragon Quest, Rurouni Kenshin, and Black Clover- making it some of the most variety we've seen in anime shonen game rosters.
Theres only one thing its missing.
Jojo,
but some recent leaks might change that.
'Jump Force Leaks Reveals Jotaro From 'Jojo' And Dai From 'Drahon Quest'
Many blogs have covered the headline, but most say the same thing, I'm here to give a breakdown of everything we know, and what we can expect.
As previously stated by most blogs, the speculation branches from an instagram ad, sponsored by Bandai Namco, the creators of Jump Force. The Ad shows Jotaro, along with other confirmed Jump Force characters, the ad is captioned "Your favorite manga hero's are ready to throw down in Jump Force! Pre order to get a bonus lobby avatar and 3 exclusive costumes."
The real evidence is from the response that YonkouProductions made to it. YonkouProductions is a reliable source for many anime related things, including Jump Force updates. YounkouProducionts states "Its a real ad Guys" and "Dai from Dragon Quest, Jotaro from Jojo are in JUMP FORCE." which for the most part, has confirmed the ads authenticity.
Now that we have that out of the way we can break down the facts and fakes.
First off while Jotaro is confirmed for Jump Force Dio is still speculation. Most theory's stem from the fact that Dio was in the 2006 DS game, Jump! Ultimate Stars, which is the earlier counterpart to Jump Force.
Secondly, Jotaro is confirmed as an official character, not a DLC. Originally fans assumed he would be a DLC, given he hadn't been talked about up until know.
Thirdly, while we can expect to see Jotaro in the near future, we have no confirmation of other Jojo characters being added, except for the high chances of Dio being added- though fans hope that we can see more Jojo characters.
In my personal opinion I think there is about a 23% possibility that we could see Giorno, and other part five characters- due to the part 5 anime release. I also think we could see Joseph, and part 2 characters, since its another popular part, Josuke 8, part 8 characters, because part 8 is the most recent part, or Jonathan and part 1 characters, since it is the first part of Jojo.
Now to discuss what we can expect for Jotaro.
For the most part, Jotaro's moveset will remain a mystery- but by narrowing his powers down from the anime, and Jojo fighting games we can get a basic idea.
In Eyes Of Heaven, a poluar Jojo fighting game, Jotaro's special moves are:
-Star Platinum
-Ora Ora
-Star Finger
-Time Stop.
These same moves recur in, Eyes Of Heaven, All Star Battle, Heritage for the Future, and many Mugen based games- of course in some games there are additional moves, but these are the ones that recur the most.
First off, its obvious that Star Platinum will be included, most likely as a switch (Like in All Star Battle) and not as a move. Ora Ora and Time Stop are the primary attacks of Jotaro in the anime and manga in every part he is shown (3,4,5,6) so we know that they will be included. The real question is about Star Finger. The move itself is only used once in his entire manga appearance, and isn't the most recognizable move, save for when he used it he bellowed out a loud "STAR FINGER!" In all honestly it would make more sense to add Jotaro's shoot ability (Where Jotaro picks up a small object and uses Star Platinum to shoot it at the opponent, this move has extreme accuracy and power.)
Judging from other Jump Force characters move sets I can theorize that Jotaro's movset might look something like this.
Special 1- Ora Ora
Special 2- Star Finger
Special 3- Shoot ability/Time Stop
Grab/Transformation- Time Stop/Actual Grab
Ultimate- Time Stop/Star Platinum Over Heaven
And some kind of option to switch stand on/off.
Bandai Namco will most likely release Jotaro's official movset within the month, since its only around 30 days till Jump Force is released.
