Funny Valentine is the final boss of Steel Ball Run and the 23rd President of the United States. Characterized by curly white hair, he aims to collect sacred remains for his country. Thanks to the teachings of her father, she takes pride in her patriotism, and despite being an enemy, she is a noble person. She was also a key figure in the Steel Ball Run race, and is well-supported by the people for leading it to success. Funny Valentine is also a Stand user, and uses a Stand called "D4C (Dirty deeds done dirt cheap)." This allows Funny Valentine to travel between various equilibrium worlds known as parallel worlds. Furthermore, she has the ability to cause the body of anyone touched by the same person in a equilibrium world to decay.

President Valentine's Quote #1: "The answer is 'follow the first one'. If someone takes the right napkin first, everyone has no choice but to take the 'right' one. If it's the left, everyone has to take the left napkin. They have no choice but to do so. This is 'society'..."

First, let's take a look at President Valentine's famous line: "The answer is 'follow the first one'. If someone takes the right napkin first, everyone has no choice but to take the 'right' one. If it's the left, everyone has to take the left napkin. They have no choice. This is 'society'..." This quote is President Valentine explaining how the world works. It's the idea that rules set by superiors are correct, similar to the Japanese saying, "go with the flow." This quote shows President Valentine's ambition to become that very person. As the president of a country, this quote also aptly describes real society.

President Valentine's Quote #2: "Patriotism is the most beautiful virtue in the world."

The next quote from President Valentine is, "Patriotism is the most beautiful virtue in the world." This famous quote gives credence to the explanation that all of JoJo's actions up to now have been driven by patriotism, not just for himself, but for his country. As the president of a country, President Valentine seeks to obtain the sacred remains to improve America, but his opinions differ from those of Johnny and Gyro. Despite being enemies, he stands by his own beliefs and is righteous, and what may seem like an enemy to some may be an ally from others, making this a famous scene that also shows the conflict in JoJo's battle.

President Valentine's Quote #3: "I have patriotism. Everything I do is for the sake of this country, because I believe it is absolutely necessary."

The third quote from President Valentine I'd like to introduce is, "I have 'patriotism.' I have always acted because I absolutely believed it was for the good of this country." This quote, also uttered at the same time as the second quote, reveals the secret to President Valentine's strength: his unwavering conviction that he is right allows him to act without wavering. This exchange puts Johnny in a difficult position, making him wonder if his enemy, President Valentine, is actually right. While it's not a fierce battle scene, it could also be seen as a clever tactic by President Valentine, who tries to move people's hearts with his eloquence.

President Valentine's Quote #4: "Behind every trial comes a battle and bloodshed. The stronger the trial, the better..."

"A 'trial' always involves a 'battle' and 'bloodshed.' The stronger the 'trial, the better..." is another famous quote from President Valentine. This quote comes from President Valentine during his battle with Johnny. He suddenly aged after being attacked with the power of the Golden Rectangle, which he gained from Johnny's horse. It speaks to us of his determination and mental strength to overcome the damage he received, calling it a trial. He is particularly powerful and mentally strong compared to the enemies we've faced so far, and this quote exudes a final-boss vibe. Behind this quote, we sense Johnny's determination to overcome his trial, which is terrifying.

President Valentine's Quote #5: "There is not a single cloud in my heart or actions...! Everything is 'justice.'"

The next quote from President Valentine is, "There is not a single cloud in my heart or actions...! Everything is 'justice.'" This quote is typical of President Valentine, who has a strong will and never hesitates in his actions or words. It is a refreshingly decisive statement, and even though he is the enemy, it is a cool quote. President Valentine is also very handsome when he says this quote, and some people may have become fans of him.

President Valentine's Famous Quote #6: "Daaaaaah!"

The next quote from President Valentine is "Daaaaah!" This is something of a catchphrase for President Valentine, and he often says it when using his powers. It may seem like a joke, but it's also something he says after using a powerful ability, so it has an eerie quality to it. It's a meaningless phrase, but it's very distinctive and memorable for President Valentine, so we've included it as a famous quote.

President Valentine's Quote #7: "The criteria for a man's attraction to a woman...or a woman's attraction to a man...isn't 'love' or 'not love' or 'like' or 'hate' or anything like that...it's whether it's 'good fortune'. It's whether that man...or that woman...is 'good fortune' to me."

The final quote from President Valentine is, "The criteria for a man's attraction to a woman...or a woman's attraction to a man...isn't 'love' or 'not love' or 'like' or 'hate' or anything like that...it's whether it's 'good fortune'. Whether that man...or woman is 'good fortune' to me." This quote comes from a scene in which President Valentine discusses "love." It's a powerful statement, as it applies to real-life romance and is a statement of conviction. In a sense, love is born from a natural calculation of whether it benefits oneself, and it can be understood as meaning that one can love someone only because it is perceived as 'good fortune' for oneself.
