Real Name: Julius Caesar Zeppeli.
Origin: Kingdom of Naples (Italy).
Age: 24 years.
Horse: Valkyrie (a 4-year-old Mustang).
Occupation: Royal executioner and doctor (in training due to family tradition).
Phrase: You will hear him say "Nyo-ho!".
Motivation: Participate in the Steel Ball Run to win the King's favor and obtain amnesty for Marco, an innocent child condemned to death for his father's alleged betrayal.

Unlike traditional humanoid Stands, Gyro Zeppeli's Stand is a small, visually dense entity that appears to be a direct manifestation of rotational energy. Its body is circular and somewhat flattened, with a texture reminiscent of organic or cellular tissue, covered by a kind of armor or helmet with slits resembling eyes. Multiple thin appendages, similar to petals or tufts of hair, sprout from its main body, waving violently to give the impression of perpetual, vibrant motion. Everything about its design evokes the aesthetic of a subatomic particle or a microscopic organism brought to life by Super Rotation, projecting a greenish, electric energy that reinforces its technical and lethal nature. Although Spin is a technique, when absolute perfection is achieved (Infinite Spin), it manifests as a Stand. This is accomplished when Gyro rides his horse, Valkyrie, and uses the animal's force, running in a perfect golden rectangle to launch the sphere. Main Ability: Instant Senescence. Ball Breaker can pierce dimensional barriers (like Funny Valentine's Love Train). Upon touching a target, it ages them thousands of years in seconds, weakening both the user and their Stand.
Steel Balls: His primary weapon. These are metallic spheres that he launches with precise rotation. He can manipulate muscles to paralyze enemies, deflect bullets using air pressure, or even perform emergency surgery by momentarily altering the body's structure. By obtaining the Right Eye of the Saint's Corpse, Gyro gains the ability to "see" through things and detect weaknesses through vibrations, projecting X-ray vision onto his spheres.

Funny Valentine is arguably the most complex antagonist in all of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. As the 23rd President of the United States, his goal is patriotic: to obtain the Holy Corpse to ensure a future of unparalleled prosperity for his nation, making it the center of the world at the expense of the suffering of the rest of the planet.
Valentine doesn't see himself as a villain, but as a leader making a necessary sacrifice. His Stand, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (D4C), allows him to travel between parallel dimensions, making him virtually immortal by being able to "replace" himself with versions of himself from other worlds. His "First Handkerchief" philosophy defines his character: whoever takes the initiative decides the rules of society. He is a man of unwavering will, capable of extreme violence in the name of the justice he believes he represents.

Diego is the mirror image of Dio Brando in this universe, but with far more human nuances and a tragic origin story that justifies his boundless ambition. Raised in abject poverty and having witnessed his mother's sacrifice, Diego developed a deep resentment towards society and a voracious hunger for power and status.
He's not the main villain, but he acts as Johnny's ultimate rival. Diego is a tactical genius and an exceptional horseman who uses others as stepping stones. His Stand, Scary Monsters, allows him to transform himself and others into dinosaurs, granting him heightened senses and incredible physical ferocity. Despite his cold demeanor, Diego possesses a magnetic charisma and a tenacity that makes him a born survivor. His sole objective is to reach the top of the world so that no one can ever trample him again.

Johnny is an atypical protagonist. At the beginning of the story, he is a broken man, both physically and emotionally. After an accident that left him paraplegic and ruined his career as a horse racing prodigy, Johnny carries a deep sense of guilt and severe depression. Unlike other JoJos, his motivation is neither heroic nor altruistic: it is selfish and desperate. He seeks the Parts of the Holy Corpse simply because he believes they are the only way for him to walk again.
His evolution is fascinating. He possesses what is described as "the eyes of a killer," a dark determination that drives him to be willing to kill if necessary to achieve his goal. His Stand, Tusk, reflects this growth through its different "ACTs," evolving as Johnny masters the Spin and matures spiritually. Johnny is not a gentleman; he is a man seeking to reclaim his destiny in a cruel world, finding in his friendship with Gyro the redemption he didn't know he needed.

This is the song "Pizza Mozzarella" by Gyro Zeppeli (an international hit, according to him)

1: "If you're curious, have the courage to try."
This lesson establishes the foundation of their relationship. It's not enough to observe power; you have to be willing to step into its sphere of influence to understand it. Meaning: Curiosity without action is useless. For Johnny to learn the Spin, he first had to approach Gyro and touch the steel balls, despite the risk.
2: "Work your muscles"
Gyro emphasizes that Spin is not magic, but a physical technique that requires precision and body control. Meaning: He refers to the importance of technique and training. You cannot master a universal force if you do not first master your own body and tools.
3: "Believe in the Golden Rectangle"
Here the series introduces the Golden Ratio. Gyro explains that perfection exists in nature (in a seashell, a leaf, a butterfly). Meaning: To achieve infinite spin, the user must find the Golden Rectangle in the world around them and use its scale to trace a perfect rotation.
4: "Pay attention"
This is perhaps the most pragmatic. Gyro tells Johnny that he must use everything around him, even bad luck or obstacles, to his advantage. Meaning: Success depends on analytical skills. In the fight against Sandman, Johnny learns that "paying attention" means seeing beyond the obvious to find the turning point in his environment.
Lesson 5: "The shortest path is the circuitous path"
The final and most profound lesson. It is a paradox about maturity and sacrifice.
Meaning: It means that to reach a goal, sometimes you can't go directly; you have to go through the process of learning, pain, and loss. Only through detours (personal growth) do you gain the strength needed to reach the final goal (Tusk Act 4).

Gyro exudes confidence, sometimes bordering on arrogance. He has a unique and absurd sense of humor (like his famous "Pizza Mozzarella" song or his jokes that only he understands). When he sets a goal, his focus is absolute. He doesn't run the Steel Ball Run just for the money, but because of a very personal moral code.
Unlike his ancestors, Gyro struggles with the coldness required by his profession as an executioner in Naples. His entire journey begins because he refuses to accept the execution of an innocent child (Marco). This reveals that beneath his tough-guy exterior lies an extremely altruistic heart. Although he tries to follow his father's rules about not becoming emotionally involved, his inability to remain indifferent is what defines him as a hero.
Gyro doesn't just teach Johnny the Spin technique; he teaches him to have his own will again. Despite his grumbling and sarcasm, Gyro would give his life for Johnny without hesitation. He's a friend who will insult you for a bad joke, but who will move heaven and earth to help you walk again.
Gyro is a man of science (medicine and the physics of Spin), but he also believes in destiny and life's "lessons." Through these five lessons, we see his philosophy of life: respect for nature, acceptance of loss, and the search for the "shortest path," which, ironically, is often the most difficult.

Gyro dresses practically for racing, but with touches of luxury: He wears a lightweight purple jacket that reaches his waist. It has studs and a circular pattern design reminiscent of his Steel Balls. He wears leather pants with chaps decorated with diamond or checkered patterns. A thick leather belt with special holsters on the sides for carrying his two Steel Balls is slung across his waist. The buckle usually bears the Zeppeli family emblem.
He is a young man with sharp features and an athletic build. He has long, blond hair that reaches his waist, often tousled by the wind during races. His most distinctive feature is a series of small, square, blond markings along his jawline. His beard is not ordinary, but rather a highly geometric and stylized facial hair design. His eyes are a beautiful aquamarine, giving him a striking aura. Gyro has a set of pure gold teeth. Engraved on his upper teeth is the phrase "GO! GO! ZEPPELI," which becomes visible whenever he smiles arrogantly or laughs loudly. He wears a wide-brimmed hat with a flat crown. The most striking feature is the slits along the top of the brim (like the slats of a blind), and he usually wears a pair of goggles perched on top of it.
Lipstick and Paint: Like many characters in Part 7, he wears green lipstick that matches the squares in his beard and the details on his clothes.
