This will be simple and quick. No, I doubt it would have PTSD and the usual statements that are suppose to back it up isn't useful such as these statements from this one's top comment when googling as it is apart of a topped reddit post:

-Jotaro loses his shit when Kira says muda

-He is hesitant to/dislikes using time stop. Doesn't use it all unless in combat (part PTSD, part the fact that time stop puts a heavy burden on Jotaro's internal organs, mainly his heart. It is why he can't push past 5 seconds, but DIO can. Stated by Araki)

-Is visibly shaken when talking about DIO/the Agents of DIO in part 6

-Loses his shit when Pucci throws knives at Jolyne in the same manner DIO did to him

Also, you can just infer from a lot of his mannerisms that he holds everything inside and is deeply sad/suffering when remembering the crusaders (his brief cameo in Part 5). Not all PTSD manifests as panic.

Now some of the comment did debunk this users claims but this post is from me, personally, now if you watch the show than some of this wouldn't make sense nor indicate some sort of PTSD.

A strong reason why Jotaro acts a bit differently after Part 3 is literally from his aging and maturing. Infact...

• 17 (Part 3)

• 28 (Part 4)

• 30 (Part 5)

• 40s (Part 6)

Jotaro was still a teenager in Part 3 happen and when Part 4 begun, it was 11 years after part 3.

I would say, some of the claims that are called out can be seen as misinterpretations such as him "[Losing] his shit when Pucci throws knives at Jolyne in the same manner DIO did to him" because Jolyne is in danger and unlike when Jotaro dealt with this back in Part 3. He saw what DIO was doing in that moment during the time stop and was able to counter it (for the most part) unlike Jolyne where she didn't know what Pucci was doing during the Time Stop.

Jotaro cares about Jolyne, she's her father so him panicking isn't a sign of PTSD, it is a worry about her dying.

Now why would someone have this fan theory in there is head, beats me. I feel like it comes from the appeal of it since it feels like it gives Jotaro depth even though it literally doesn't make sense with the claims that are suppose to support it.

I used a Jojo meme to censor some words on a drawing.

It works too well also the drawing is created by a Fandom user called "Low-battery-warniing" on the Murder Drones wiki

Look at how he is posing

He doesn't show up fully (as in being involved in the direct plot) but I understand why Pucci was inspired to do "The Heaven Plan"

Honestly, I doubt it can truly be the cases however it could make sense with the overall context for this ability.

I ultimately came to this idea that "Star Platinum" technically, always had the time stop ability however Jotaro didn't realize this until his fight of Dio. Now I did use a external source that I use a few of points off for this conclusion but not entirely because I don't think it would just make sense that "Will power and believing" alone can let a stand stop time but who knows about that. I am focusing on why I believe the "Star Platinum always had it" notion.

When it comes to the story: Star Platinum is considered a fast short range stand, similar to Dio's stand "Za Warldo". Before the fight or the realization of Za Warldo stopping time, Jotaro may have interpret SP "fast speeds" as just fast speeds because there was a lack of indication to him and the others of the idea that SP could do this ability as they didn't know a stand could stop time.

Infact, you can interpret the moments like in the beginning of the part (When Jotaro was in prison and he had a gun against his head) and the gamble fight of Jotaro against D'arby (SP lighting Joraro's cigarette and giving him a drink) as moments when Star Platinum did stop time but like I said early "they didn't know a stand could stop time" so moments like this would seen as SP being fast.

Jotaro knowing that the "Za Warldo" can stop time, the fact SP is similar to that stand and maybe some other reasons did gave Jotaro a reference point and the eventual conclusion that "Star Platinum can stop time" and finally was able to use it properly against Dio after being crushed by the road roller.

In summary, SP did had the time stop ability but Jotaro never realize it until his fight with Dio.

I'm not making him look stupid about this possibility btw
