 Kazuma Kiryu vs Jotaro Kujo

Before we Begin

We'll be using all the Canon Mainline games for Kiryu so Yakuza 0 to Infinite Wealth as for Jotaro we'll be using Jojo Manga and Anime and other statements.


Kazuma Kiryu


Born on 17th of June 1968
Kiryu's parents were killed by Shintaro Kazama when he was young feeling guilty Kazama adopted Kiryu and raised him in his Orphanage. Kiryu grew up alongside Akira Nishikiyama and Yumi Sawamura they grew so close they ended up becoming a Family. Both Kiryu and Nishiki grew up looking up to Kazama wanting to become a Yakuza like him. After confronting and begging Kazama to become Yakuza the next night they would become members of the Yakuza.

Its 1995 Kiryu was told to meet Kazama in the Family Headquarters to discuss his own clan but its gets interrupted by Nishiki calling Kiryu and telling him that Yumi was kidnapped by Dojima's men Kiryu would end up pursuing them despite Kazama telling him not too. Kiryu would find Dojima shot dead by Nishiki and Yumi traumatized realizing that the Cops were on their way Kiryu tells Nishiki to take Yumi and leave taking the blame for him. Whilst in Prison he would be receive message's that he's kicked out the Yakuza and that Yumi went missing. 


Kiryu would be released and started looking for clues for his lost sister where she could be whilst looking for her she would stumble upon a little girl named Haruka who was looking for her Mother named Mizuki after finding out that Yumi is her aunt they would work together to find Yumi and Mizuki. After finding Kazama's where abouts Haruka and Kiryu go to the Docks where he waits for Kiryu and Haruka in a Yacht where he would explain the truth which was that Mizuki and Yumi are the same person that Kazama took her under his wing to keep her hidden from Jingu Haruka's Father who was a Politician who was offered to marry the Prime Minister daughter realizing how much his political power would grow he would accept and also try hide his wife and child by asking The Tojo Chairman Masaru Sera to kill Yumi and Haruka. Sera would send an assassin but he would be stopped by Kazama who talked sense into Sera and they would work together to keep Yumi hidden and hide Haruka in Kazama's Orphanage and they also stole the 10 Billion Yen that everyone was after which belong to Jingu. Mizuki was a name to hide Yumi's real Identity from Jingu to make him believe that they died. Kazama informs then that Yumi right now is in the Millennium Tower but they would be interrupted by Leader of the Shimano Clan Futoshi Shimano who ends up fighting against Kiryu after their fight Shimano throws a grenade which ends up killing Kazama before dying Kazama reveals to Kiryu that he was the one who killed his parents but Kiryu accepts him as his real parent. 

After arriving in the City they would decide to go meet up with Yumi who was in the Millennium Tower after arriving they would be confronted by Jingu who came to get his 10 Billion Yen and to kill of Yumi and Haruka so that his past can't come to live once he marries the Prime Minister's Daughter but Kiryu would beat him and afterwards they would be confronted by Nishiki who wanted the Will of Sera so he can become the The Fourth Chairman of the Tojo Clan and have Yumi for himself but for that he has to beat Kiryu after their fight Kiryu would come out victorious and they Yumi would put the explosive she had in the vault with the money but Jingu would shot Kiryu in the leg and then he shots at Yumi wounding her but before he can finish Kiryu off Nishiki stands up and rushes at Jingu with a Knife killing him and also blowing up the Money by shooting the Bomb this would lead to Jingu and Nishiki dying in the explosion and Yumi dying from her gun wound. After the Explosion we can see cops coming in to arrest Kiryu but Date a Detective who helped out Kiryu in the search for Yumi tells him that he's free but after losing everyone he held close he said that he would spend the rest of life in to which Date would put sense into him saying that he's still got Haruka and after coming to his senses he adopts Haruka and after giving up his as Fourth Chairman of the Tojo he would retire to live with Haruka.

 After retiring from the Yakuza he would move to Okinawa to open a Orphanage. Where he would end up being called out of retirement many times even having to leave his kids behind for them live a better live. After working for the Daidoji Faction he would end up being diagnosed with Cancer. He would end up helping Ichiban in his Quest where he would reveal that he's Cancer got so bad that he's only got a Year to live. After he their his last Adventure was finished he would live his remaining time with his Family.


Jotaro Kujo


Born 1970 in Japan
Jotaro Kujo was a normal student until he's 17 Birthday where he would beat up 3 guys so bad that he believed that he was possessed after his Grandfather Joseph would arrive with a friend called Muhammed Avdol to let him know that the thing he's being possessed by is a Stand which are manifestations of ones soul and they represent one's life energy. After his mother also got a stand that she couldn't control which slowly started killing her they figured that Dio a old Joestar enemy was behind it they figured out that the only way to cure Holly was to kill Dio. So they made their way to Egypt.

After defeating Dio Jotaro alongside a Friend named Polnareff would investigate a Mythical object called the Stand arrows which allows anyone who get shot with it to obtain a stand. Polnareff would look around in Italy whilst Jotaro would look around in Japan as he found out that he's Grandfather Joseph had a affair with his Grandmother and had a illegitimate child named Josuke Higashikata whilst in Morioh Jotaro would help Josuke with his Quest's and Josuke helped him look for the Arrows after helping Josuke hunt down the Murderer Kira Yoshikage who was responsible for multiple murders including some of Josuke's friends he would leave Morioh and send Koichi Hirose a Friend of Josuke to Italy to investigate Dio's Son Giorno.

After finding out that he's Daughter Jolyne ended up in Prison he would give her a pendant with a sharp piece of the Stand arrow which pierced her allowing her to awaken her stand. After a while he would visit Jolyne in prison with the Plan of breaking her out to save her from a man named Pucci who's following Dio's order to achieve heaven which includes killing the Joestars. After one of Pucci's men started attacking Jotaro would end up getting his Stand and Memories removed by Pucci and Jolyne would hunt down Pucci until he's got her fathers disc's back. After the attack Jotaro would end up in a Coma after getting his disc's back he goes to help Jolyne fight against Pucci but it was to late as Pucci had evolved his stand into Made in Heaven which would accelerate so fast that it would end up restarting the universe. In his Final Moments Jotaro was faced with a choice save the Universe but lose his Daughter or Save his Daughter he would end up choosing to save his daughter but in doing so he would lose precious time allowing Pucci to dodge his attacks and Kill him and after Jolyne sacrifices herself and gives Emporio the stand disc of Heavy Weather he ends up killing Pucci and foiling his Ideal Plans.

Kiryu

Other Yakuza Protagonist

Debatable
These will be labeled as Debatable as these feats are done by Ichiban Imaginations and that argument has been heavily debated if its valid or not there are arguments against it and for it so if you buy these its up for the reader to decide.

Yakuza Antagonist
Other JoJo's
JoFoe's
Miscellainous Stand user/characters


Weaknesses


Despite being a Powerhouse Kiryu is still Human any well placed bullet can Kill him. Most of his strongest moves require heat and he mostly rushes into battle without planning. He is also Weak to Ice based attacks according to the Sujidex. Before the events of 8 he contracts Cancer which weakened him severely. also he refuses to punch women.

Jotaro


Jotaro and Star Platinum share the damage they receive meaning of Jotaro gets hurt so does Jotaro and vice versa and if the Stand user dies so does the Stand. Star Platinum is only has a very short range of 2 meters. The time stop only last for 5 seconds and Jotaro can't spam the ability unlike Dio it also put a toll on his Body.


Verdict

Strength/Durability: at a Lowball both of them are around Jotaro is around Large Building to City Block through scaling to stands such Wheel of Fortune, Dark Blue Moon and the fact he beat Dio who endured the explosion of a ship which gets to 64 Tons of TNT. But Kiryu at a Lowball scales to Large Building to Multi-City Block to even Small Town he survived the explosion of the Millennium Tower which gets to 2.3 Tons of TNT and he stalemated Saejima who survived a Avalanche which gets to 779.15 tons of TNT to all the way into the Kilotons 1.38 Kilotons to be exact. With the High Balls it doesn't change much as Jotaro gets to 1.04 Megatons because Ghiacio stated he could freeze the sea whilst Kiryu scales to Saejima whose fights against the Mountain Gods gets him to 56.9 Megatons which makes Kiryu 54,7 times stronger than Jotaro. So this point goes to Kiryu.

Speed: I think we all know where this is going so lets just skip to the end. Jotaro is 365 times lightspeed whilst Kiryu is 1.19 times lightspeed Jotaro is 306,72 times faster. This point goes to Jotaro. Kiryu is at least faster on foot and more agile because of rush style.

Stamina: This is a important Category. but again I feel like it is easy to figure out Jotaro was capable of beating up Kira with many wounds and fight Dio with Broken bones we need to remember that he has no way to recover he can't just sit down and rest so if he's out of breath or heavily Injured he has to be careful but Kiryu has been stabbed shot multiple times and he continues to stand he also has stuff to regenerate himself either heal or replenish his heat bar. And the fact that Kiryu powers through the most insane shit such as getting stabbed with a poisonus Knife then pulling it out an walking all the way across town and after he fell unconscious and after waking up he had to rescue haruka despite not fully recovering. This point goes to Kiryu.

Hax: Both Jotaro and Kiryu have a bunch of Hax 's whilst Jotaro does have a lot of good hax Intangibility, Invisibility and Time Stop the only issue is that Jotaro best hax require Star Platinum so by himself he can't do much against Kiryu and also they have a time limit Jotaro can't spam time stop because it puts a toll on his body also Jotaro has no way to heal or replenish meaning if Jotaro is Injured he has to be careful whilst Kiryu can heal with his items or with Heat he has a regeneration factor whilst yes its not on like Alucard level regen its still enough to heal from stuff such as Riffles bullets which Jotaro has but Kiryu has shown throughout that bullet wounds are not much of a problem series like when he got shot in the knee and shoulder in 0 and minutes later stood up and was ready to fight. Downside for Jotaro is if he wants to finish of Kiryu he has to get up close as Kiryu is nearly 50 times stronger he isn't gonna be able to hurt him in stopped time. Jotaro Intagibility works for only for 2 meters and Jotaro's time stop has a Maximum of 5 seconds. I might give the point for Hax to Kiryu as Jotaro got busted hax but they are on a time limit or they need to be used in a perfect time if Jotaro wants to crush Kiryu's heart he needs him to stand still but Kiryu can counter them via using his long range weaponary but his guns have limited ammo and Jotaro could most likely dodge them or have Star Platinum tank them it depends if he can keep him at a distance for long enough to outlast the Time Stop Kiryu could also tire out  Jotaro by having him deal with his gadget and Jotaro can't regenerate stamina so yeah. One last thing Kiryu can see Star Platinum as Yakuza Protagonist have fought ghost before. So this point goes to Kiryu.

Expierience: Jotaro was on journey which lasted about 2 months meaning he's got 2 months worth of experience whilst Kiryu has been a Yakuza for nearly a decade and both have fought against a variety of enemies but due to Kiryu fighting longer he gets this point.

Weapons/Equipment: Jotaro doesn't have anything special just a lighter and a few Riffle Bullets which Kiryu can resist via heat. Kiryu on the other hand has got Gadgets which can hit with the force of a warhead so yeah this also goes to Kiryu

Resistance: Jotaro doesn't have a proper answer to most of Kiryu's Hax and neither does Kiryu have a answer to stuff such as Intagibilty or Time Stop. So neither get this point.

Other factors: Kiryu's stone of enduring is useless when Jotaro is capable of destroying Kiryu heart which negates the Stone of endurings ability as Kiryu just comes back and dies as he has no heart. 

Jotaro also can fly which is a advantage as Kiryu has no way to reach Jotaro and even if he has a Pistol it has limited ammo and Star Platinum has shown capable of catching bullets. Kiryu could throw stuff he finds on the floor as he can use his enviorment as weapons stuff such as trash cans and other stuff.

Kiryu does have heat actions which can Injure Jotaro heavily to the point of him tireing out.

Conclusion

I guess you could say Jotaro was 10 steps behind this time.

The Winner is Kazuma Kiryu
