Synopsis:["Funny Valentine (ファニー・ヴァレンタイン,, fanī varentain?) is the main antagonist of Steel Ball Run.

Having found the Corpse Heart during his service in the Civil War, Valentine becomes the twenty-third president of the United States. He monitors the progress of the Steel Ball Run competition from the shadows and hopes to gather the parts of the Sacred Corpse in order to use the sacred relic to further the interests of the United States of America.

He is a Stand user, who wields his Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and his dimensional abilities to travel through parallel universes.

The moment he obtains the Sacred Corpse's ribcage, Valentine gains an athletic muscular build and a more attractive appearance.

He constantly wears long light hair curling at its ends into a number of thick, well-defined rings (perhaps in reference to the white wigs and hairstyles of the 18th century,[3] as worn by several of this nation's first presidents)."]

When Lucy develops Ticket to Ride, Valentine is able to use a protective wall of light emanating from her, which deflects all misfortune, strengthening her defense further as she becomes effectively invincible. He names this add-on skill "D4C - Love Train".

Synopsis:["Youth:

When the president was a child, his father went to war, and he never returned. One day, a soldier named Captain Valentine came to Funny's house and told her that her father was captured by the enemy. After enduring intense torture, he committed suicide so as not to betray his country. He managed to keep a handkerchief hidden from the enemy (horrifyingly, behind his own eye) which Captain Valentine then gave to Funny.

Funny's mother is supposed to have remarried Captain Valentine some time later."]

Civil War:["While on a dig, Valentine's company died in a desert. Valentine himself, exhausted, fell at the site of the Corpse Heart. His life was saved due to the power of the Corpse, and he inferred the existence of a complete Corpse.

Upon obtaining the corpse, Valentine, being a patriot, wishes to use his power to bring a better future to America, fusing his position and the power of the corpse to divert all the misfortunes that befall the country from him to other countries. foreign.

During the race, Valentine employs many assassins to kill both Gyro Zeppeli and Johnny Joestar, even having some participate in the race to get closer to the duo. Most of his subordinates are Stand users, such as Blackmore, Mike O. and Diego Brando.

Valentine discovers a traitor in his ranks, first believed to be Mountain Tim, then his wife, before finding the real traitor Lucy Steel (disguised as Scarlet).

Receiving the corpse:["Once he learned that the corpse parts were embedded inside Lucy, he had her live with him, knowing that she was disguised as his wife, and hoping to remove the corpse parts from her when she arrived the moment."]

In Philadelphia:["After seeing Lucy for what she really is, he holds her until the Corpse's power is at its fullest. He hires DISCO to stop Gyro so he can kill Johnny. Using D4C, he sends both Diego Brando and Wekapipo (both have defected since Valentine's employment) to the alternate dimensions to shoot Johnny and eliminate all three at once. He fights Wekapipo and Diego with the odds in his favor, then Diego uses Scary Monsters to guide him. Johnny to safety and shoot Valentine. However, Valentine uses his Stand to replace his dying body.

Valentine takes everything that was meant to kill him to another part of the world, killing someone else. However, Gyro He tells Johnny that it's time for "Lesson 5", i.e. the use of the Super Spin. As Gyro prepares for the Super Spin, Valentine shoots him non-lethally with the effects of D4C-Love.

However, Valentine became an old man due to the second attack and after recovering, he finally manages to kill Gyro.

After killing Gyro, Johnny relentlessly tries to do everything he can to even harm Valentine, but to no avail. Valentine then shoots Johnny's horse, Slow Dancer, to eliminate the possibility of seeing the golden rectangle. In a last ditch effort, Johnny uses one of Gyro's Steel Balls to heal his horse, which kicks him into the air, activating Tusk ACT 4. "]

Death(s):["After being hit by Tusk ACT 4, he found himself subjected to the Spin, which led him to a hole in the ground every time he jumped to another dimension. He tried to bribe his way away from this by offering to Johnny a brand new Gyro Zeppeli, whom he shot and killed earlier, in exchange for Johnny putting an end to the Giro. Johnny refuses, stating that even a Gyro from another dimension would not be the same Gyro as the one he had ventured with.

After an explanation of how he wanted to use the corpse parts for his country, he mentions that Hot Pants died. However, he managed to take Hot Pants' spray from another dimension and gives it to Johnny so he can cure Lucy. Johnny, although slowly trusting the President, threw Valentine's empty pistol next to him and dared him to pick it up, harboring a suspicion that Valentine had brought a pistol back with him from an alternate dimension to attack with it. . The suspicion turned out to be correct, and knowing that if he took the gun it would fuse with that of the alternate dimension and reveal his intention to betray Johnny, he hesitated for a moment. After reaffirming his personal sense of justice, he aims his gun and shoots Johnny, who in turn shoots him again. The shooting resulted in the president's eventual death.

At the end of Steel Ball Run, it is mentioned that despite Valentine's disappearance from the public eye at the end of the run, he achieved approval ratings as high as 91%."]
