Another reason Joseph is one of the more popular JoJos is the fact that he’s appeared in quite a few anime adaptations. As far as appearances go, he’s tied with Jotaro at the moment. Where Jotaro appears in the OVA and seasons two through four, Joseph appears in the OVA alongside seasons 1 through 3 (not Parts, mind).
With Hermit Purple and Hamon, he’d be able to take out DIO fairly easily, but since DIO has Jonathan’s body, Hamon doesn’t work nearly as well against the vampire. Another reason Joseph is one of the more popular JoJos is the fact that he’s appeared in quite a few anime adaptations. As far as appearances go, he’s tied with Jotaro at the moment.
While Jonathan Joestar may be the series’ progenitor, Joseph is the JoJo who ends up setting the foundation for future protagonists.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is well-known for its art style and poses; frequent references to Western popular music and fashion; and battles centered around Stands, psycho-spiritual manifestations with unique supernatural abilities.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Japanese: ジョジョの奇妙な冒険, Hepburn: JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken), also known as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation, is a Japanese anime television series produced by David Production.

From unique character designs to constant tonal shifts to great music, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is widely regarded as one of the best anime ever. Hirohiko Araki's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has kept audiences entertained for 35 years and it's earned its spot in the pantheon of essential anime series.
Its popular because its unique. Many other animes and the like follow the same premise initially. Protagonist fights the Antagonist and the Protagonist gets defeated but gets stronger later on and gets the power to defeat the Antagonist.
The titles of the new Pokemon games have reminded fans of Part 4 of the JoJo manga, Diamond is Unbreakable. Specifically, the protagonist of Part 4, Josuke Higashikata, uses a Stand known as Crazy Diamond in the Japanese version, named after Pink Floyd's seminal Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
The references plastered throughout Demon Slayer suggest that Gotōge took inspiration from Jojos Bizarre Adventure. Viewers and readers turned to Jojo upon finishing Demon Slayer, because of the intense amount of similarities between the two.
This is only a couple of the references from the anime that seemed to be more obvious to me. Honestly the anime Saiki k could be considered a big JoJo reference seeing how many things there are referencing different aspects of JoJo. "Yare Yare" is a VERY common "My, my,/good grief" expression, so no.
The most well-known and arguably fan-favorite JoJo, Jotaro Kujo, is the protagonist of Part 3: Stardust Crusaders. In terms of overall strength and power, Jotaro takes the cake.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's second season is the best place to start with the legendary anime.
While Jonathan Joestar may be the series’ progenitor, Joseph is the JoJo who ends up setting the foundation for future protagonists. Not only does he immediately usurp Jonathan’s role as protagonist, but he actually manages to be a main fixture of the storyline for three Parts in a row: Battle Tendency, Stardust Crusaders, and Diamond is Unbreakable.
There are three major threats which define JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure—Vampires, Pillar Men, and Stand Users—and Joseph Joestar has fought all three. He fights Straizo the vampire at the start of Battle Tendency; four Pillar Men throughout the rest of Part II; and multiple Stand Users in Part III.
Early on in Part III, DIO uses a stand that looks very similar to Joseph’s Hermit Purple. Araki revealed that he originally intended The World to be a manifestation of every Stand. After this was scrapped, DIO’s Hermit Purple-esque Stand was revealed to have been Jonathan’s body’s Stand.
The series posits it as dementia (of sorts), but given how Joseph’s mind comes back in full after adopting Shizuka, it’s entirely possible Joseph was just playing dumb in order to avoid taking responsibility for fathering an illegitimate child (Josuke). He manages to patch things up with his son well enough and he leaves Morioh completely sound of mind. Suspicious.
By Part III, Joseph is pushing 70 while looking like an extremely healthy man in his fifties. Unfortunately, the next ten years don’t end up very kind to him. Having been brought back to life after the fight with DIO, he slows down and his mind ends up going with him.
This puts Joseph at roughly 91 years old by the end of Stone Ocean. Of course, Part 6 doesn’t exactly end pleasantly for the Joestars, and while Joseph may have survived to a ripe old age, it’s unlikely he made it out of Made in Heaven’s acceleration in one piece.
DIO ends up killing Joseph rather quickly during the final battle in Stardust Crusaders, which is honestly the only way the fight could have gone. In a straight-up duel, Joseph would realistically defeat DIO. Not only is Joseph plenty cunning on his own, but he’s also far and away the strongest Hamon user in the entire franchise.
