Jean Pierre Polnareff (ジャン・ピエール・ポルナレフ Jan Piēru Porunarefu) is a core ally in Stardust Crusaders and appears with his stand, Silver Chariot. He fights along the Stardust Crusaders, heading for DIO in Egypt.

Polnareff was injected with a parasite given to him by Dio after his encounter with him while searching for his sister's murderer. DIO told Polnareff that the man he's seeking has two right hands, and that he will help him find that man if he got rid of Jotaro and company. His desire to seek revenge caused him to be blinded by DIO's evil, and be tricked into attacking Jotaro and company. Luckily, Jotaro and his friends defeated Polnareff and safely removed the parasite that was controlling his mind. Polnareff joined Jotaro and company hoping to get revenge for his sister and DIO's manipulation. After a while, they faced the man who killed his sister, J. Geil and he got his revenge on him. Ever since he got revenge, he aimed to get revenge on DIO.

Polnareff is a very solid character all around, able to run his gameplan easily through the use of Stand ON normals and Shooting Star. He has a decent skill floor, as his combos aren't hard to execute at all. Speaking of Shooting Star, that move is the definition of Polnareff, he can easily switch the flow of the match with it, as well as trap the opponent in very hard-to-block mixups. His normals are among the best in the game, 2C/D.2C is a very oppressive button that can be very hard to punish, as well as S.4B which is one of the best anti-airs in the game due to it's disjointed hitbox and fast startup.
