Plot[edit]
The first season was split into two parts: part 1 comprised episodes 1-9 covering the Phantom Blood manga arc, and part 2 comprised episodes 10-26 covering the Battle Tendency arc.
The first part, Phantom Blood, is set in Liverpool, England in 1880 and follows the adventures of a young man named Jonathan Joestar, known as JoJo, living on his wealthy father George's estate. George takes in a homeless boy, Dio Brando who bullies the innocent Jonathan, plotting to become the sole heir to the Joestar fortune. However, his attempts are thwarted and he resorts to using an ancient Stone Mask which transforms him into a vampire with his sights now set on world domination. Jonathan, with Italian Hamon master Will A. Zeppeli and former street thug Robert E.O. Speedwagon at his side, uses his newly found affinity for Hamon to stop Dio who appears to be killed and Jonathan passes away. However Jonathan's pregnant wife, Erina gives birth to a son, continuing the Joestar name.
The second part, Battle Tendency, takes place fifty years later in 1938 as Jonathan's grandson, Joseph Joestar. He hears of Speedwagon's apparent death during an excavation, and when he investigates, he becomes entangled with the revival of the Pillar Men, ancient humanoids of impossible power who are tied to the creation of the Stone Mask. Joseph ultimately teams up with Caesar Zeppeli, Will's grandson, and Caesar's teacher Lisa Lisa, who is linked to Joseph. They try to stop the Pillar Men led by Kars and Esidisi from obtaining a mystical artifact in Lisa Lisa's possession that will grant them complete immortality and bring about the end of the world. With the help of his friends and allies, Joseph eventually masters Hamon and beats the Pillar Men.

The man, George Joestar, assuming Dario saved his life, claims he will forever be indebted to him. Twelve years later, George's son Jonathan, nicknamed JoJo, is a young man with the intent to become a gentleman, such as fighting for a woman's honor even if he will not win. Meanwhile, Dario is on his deathbed and he tells his son Dio to move in with the Joestar family to fulfill George's life debt. Dio does so after paying his final disrespect over his father's grave, intending to take Joestar fortune for himself. Dio does this by outshining Jonathan while making him a pariah among his family and friends. Even Jonathan's childhood love with Erina Pendleton is not safe from Dio, who takes her first kiss and makes her unable to even look Jonathan in the eye. Upon learning of Dio's action, Jonathan flies into a rage and manages to land a powerful hit on Dio. Caught off guard, some of Dio's blood is spilled on an ancient Stone Mask that seems to react until the fight is broken up by George. Then, the butler notices a crate in the incinerator but lights it anyway.

When Jonathan gets home, it is revealed that the butler killed his beloved dog Danny(the butler having lied about being responsible for it, claiming it to be a 'burglar'), and Jonathan instantly deduces that it was Dio who delibrately put Danny in the crate so he could be killed, a part of his plan to become the heir to the Joestar fortune. | |||||

Fearing Jonathan would ruin his plans, Dio steals the Stone Mask with the intent to arrange an accidental death with it. Two days later, Jonathan's search takes him to the dodgy Ogre Street where he is attacked by a man in a bowler, using a sawblade. But Jonathan's sense of honor and desire to save his father convinces the bowler-wearing man to assist in the search for an Oriental druggist. Meanwhile, assuming that Jonathan died in Ogre Street, Dio crosses paths with two drunkards and the resulting scuffle ends with him slitting one of them to subject the other to an activated Stone Mask.

As Joseph waits to warn Lisa Lisa about the Pillar Men, Esidisi's nervous system takes over the body of Suzi Q and sends the Super Aja off on a boat bound for Venice. Before Joseph and Caesar can pursue the boat, Esidisi stands in their way, knowing full well they cannot kill him without killing Suzi Q as well. As Esidisi boils his host's blood to kill everyone in the room, Joseph and Caesar combine their Hamon in opposing forces, forcing Esidisi's nervous system to safety release Suzi Q before burning away while exposed to sunlight. After healing Suzi Q, Lisa Lisa learns from her that the Red Stone has been sent to St. Moritz in Switzerland, where Kars and Wamuu are waiting. Joseph promises Suzi Q that he will see her again before he, Caesar, Lisa Lisa, and Messina head off to catch up to the mail train bound for Switzerland. Upon catching up to the train at customs, the Germans arrive and claim the Red Stone of Aja for themselves, inviting Joseph and the others to join them at their lodge. As Kars attacks the lodge, Joseph learns that the leader of the German group is none other than Stroheim, who has since become a cyborg. | |||||

Stroheim's mechanical body was designed to surpass Santana, however it proves futile against Kars' Light Mode, a series of jagged blades on his arm that move so fast in a chainsaw motion that they radiate light. Kars literally cuts Stroheim down to size and attempts to retrieve the Red Stone of Aja, but Stroheim fires a beam of ultraviolet light at him, sending the Red Stone sliding towards a cliff edge. Joseph and Kars to chase after it and although Joseph grabs the stone, Kars pulls him off the cliff with him, wanting revenge for Esidisi's death. Joseph manages to save himself by using the Red Stone as a shield and prevents his fall by chaining a series of icicles together which Caesar uses to pull him up to safety. Kars lands safely far below, before heading to his daytime hideout. The next day, Caesar and the others discuss ambushing an abandoned hotel that they believe is Kars' hideout before Wamuu arrives from Greece, however Joseph objects to the plan, believing it unwise to fight Kars on his home turf. Caesar disagrees, wanting revenge for the past, leading to a fist fight with Joseph and then Caesar heads to the hotel by himself. Lisa Lisa orders Messina to follow him, before telling Joseph a little more about Caesar's past. | |||||
20 | 'Young Caesar'[30] Transcription: 'Shīzā Kodoku no Seishun' (Japanese: シーザー孤独の青春) | Yasuko Kobayashi | February 22, 2013 | March 11, 2017 | |
Lisa Lisa tells Joseph of Caesar's childhood, in which he took to crime at a young age after being abandoned by his debt-ridden father, Mario Zeppeli. When Caesar turned 16, he encounters his father and came across the wall containing the Pillar Men that is rigged with a trap by Kars. Mario, failing to recognize his son, died saving Caesar and used his last moments in instructing him to learn Hamon from Lisa Lisa. Back in the present, Caesar and Messina arrive at the hotel and Caesar is attacked outside by Wamuu using his Wind Mode, utilizing streams of moist air to both protect him from the sunlight and reflect the light around him. Wamuu wounds Messina and drags him into the hotel, prompting Caesar to go in after him. Using his new Bubble Cutter attack and a series of refractive bubble lenses, Caesar manages to wound Wamuu and redirect the sunlight inside the hotel to pin him down. However, Wamuu delivers a critical counter attack. Dying, Caesar uses the last of his strength to steal Wamuu’s piercing into a blood bubble before being crushed by the collapsing ceiling. Wamuu, respecting Ceasar's resolve, allows the bubble to remain for Joseph. Joseph and Lisa Lisa enter the hotel and see the light of Caesar's Final Hamon. Finding the bubble with the antidote and Caesar's bandana, they sadly realize that Caesar is dead. | |||||

Following Wamuu's trail of blood, Joseph and Lisa Lisa encounter a vampire named Wired Beck whom the latter easily defeats him using her Hamon-empowered scarf. As a promise to Caesar, Joseph states he will not take the antidote until he has beaten Wamuu. They soon encounter Wamuu and Kars, along with a hundred vampire minions. Lisa Lisa manages to hold off their attack bluffing that if she and JoJo are killed, a time bomb will destroy the Red Stone of Aja. She proposes that Joseph fight Wamuu whilst she fights Kars with the Red Stone on the line. Wamuu and Kars arrange a place for the battle at midnight, keeping Lisa Lisa as insurance. Whilst retrieving the Red Stone, Joseph finds a picture of his grandmother Erina from fifty years ago with Speedwagon, Straizo, and an infant. Upon meeting at the arena, Lisa Lisa reveals that she was the baby that Erina rescued from the ship that fateful day 50 years ago and was raised by Straizo who taught her about the Hamon and gave her the Red Stone. Joseph and Wamuu's battle is revealed to be a chariot race using vampire horses and Joseph puts on Caesar's bandana and prepares to do battle. | |||||
22 | 'A True Warrior'[32] Transcription: 'Shin no Kakutōsha' (Japanese: 真の格闘者) | Shinichi Inotsume | March 8, 2013 | March 25, 2017 | |
Before Joseph's and Wamuu's race begins, it is revealed that during each lap, there will be a different weapon for whoever can grab it from a pillar first. Joseph manages to get a head start by obstructing Wamuu's wheels with rubble, allowing him to get hold of the first weapon, a sledgehammer. However, Wamuu grabs hold of the pillar itself, forcing Joseph to abandon his chariot, although Joseph uses the hammer to avoid being trampled by Wamuu's horses. Wamuu launches an attack on Joseph by hiding within his horse, but Joseph manages to turn Wamuu's Divine Sandstorm attack back against him with the Hamon. In order to regain his focus, Wamuu gouges out his eyes and grows a horn that can sense the wind. The second lap offers a pair of crossbows. Joseph picks up one that is too big for him to use whilst Wamuu uses the wind to guide his shots with a smaller crossbow, managing to hit Joseph's sides with a reflected shot. As he is thrown to the ground, Joseph uses the momentum of the fall to cock his crossbow and manages to hit Wamuu with a Hamon-charged shot from his crossbow by distracting his senses with pebbles. Wamuu makes a desperate last attack by firing his severed arms at Joseph to cut off his breathing before gathering up wind for his Final Mode. | |||||
23 | 'The Warrior of Wind'[33] Transcription: 'Kaze ni Kaeru Senshi' (Japanese: 風にかえる戦士) | Kazuyuki Fudeyasu | March 15, 2013 | April 1, 2017 | |
Launching his Final Mode attack, Gathering Gale,[d] Wamuu fires a stream of wind capable of cutting stone towards Joseph. After a failed attempt with a firebomb, Joseph strikes Wamuu with Caesar's flaming bandana, which Wamuu shreds with his wind. However, as planned by Joseph, Wamuu breathed in both the oil from the bomb and the burning embers of Caesar's bandana which cause him to explode from the inside. Realizing Wamuu's wounds are fatal, Joseph gives him some of his own blood to ease his passing as a sign of respect, as Wamuu showed Caesar. When the other vampires suddenly attack, Wamuu uses the last of his strength to kill them, not wanting them to interfere until the end and requests that Joseph drinks the antidote from his ring, before passing away without regret. Lisa Lisa prepares to battle Kars, who removes his headgear revealing long flowing hair. Lisa Lisa seems to be winning until learning the Kars she defeated was a vampire body double as the real Kars arracks her from behind. After claiming the Red Stone of Aja for himself, Kars sends his vampire army after the weakened Joseph, but he is rescued by Stroheim and his men, along with Speedwagon and Smokey, using ultraviolet lights to fight off the vampires. Joseph faces Kars who dangles Lisa Lisa's unconscious body over a bed of sharp crystals forcing Joseph into a vulnerable position. Smokey realizes that Joseph does not yet know that Lisa Lisa is his mother. | |||||
24 | 'The Ties That Bind JoJo'[34] Transcription: 'JoJo o Musubu Kizuna' (Japanese: JOJOを結ぶ絆) | Yasuko Kobayashi | March 22, 2013 | April 8, 2017 | |
Joseph is forced to cling onto a rope to stop Lisa Lisa from falling to her death. He sets his scarf on fire, stating he will finish Kars off before it fully burns. Kars cuts the rope, but he falls instead into a trap laid by Joseph, who hits him with a Hamon attack, impaling him on the sharp crystals below. As Joseph rescues Lisa Lisa, Speedwagon explains to Smokey that Lisa Lisa's real name is Elisabeth and she was raised by Straizo who taught her the ways of the Hamon. She married George Joestar II, later giving birth to their child Joseph. On the run after murdering her husband's killer, Speedwagon erased her past, and placed her on Venice's Saplena Island where she changed her name to Lisa Lisa. Erina then raised Joseph, keeping his past a secret so he would never learn the Hamon and hopefully avoid the fate that befell the rest of her family. Meanwhile, Stroheim attempts to finish off Kars with multiple blasts of an ultraviolet beam, but Kars suddenly puts on the Stone Mask with the Red Stone of Aja in place. The artificial sunlight channels through the Super Aja, activating the Stone Mask and sending its undiluted energy into Kars, who undergoes a dramatic transformation. | |||||

Kars turns into the ultimate life form thanks to the power of the Aja stone and demonstrates his new powers to manipulate his body at a genetic level. The sun rises, killing the rest of the vampire minions, but Kars remains immune. Joseph grabs the stone and runs off with Kars in pursuit, transforming into a bird-like creature. Joseph takes one of the German planes to lure Kars away from the others and hopes that he may be able to destroy Kars by forcing him into a volcanic island. Kars attacks JoJo's plane in various ways causing it to go out of control, but Joseph drops his parachute carrying a dummy to lure Kars into the path of the plane. Joseph then flies the plane towards the volcano's crater with Kars trapped on the nose. Kars attempts to escape but Stroheim who had jumped on board earlier, manages to stop him and rescue Joseph before the plane crashes into the magma. Joseph and Stroheim land safely but they see that Kars still alive within the boiling volcanic magma. | |||||
26 | 'The Ascendant One'[36] Transcription: 'Kami to Natta Otoko' (Japanese: 神となった男) | Yasuko Kobayashi | April 5, 2013 | April 15, 2017 | |
While it seemed Joseph won, Kars managed to develop an continuous insulating layer of air bubbles to endure the magma as he emerges while slicing off Joseph's hand in one swift movement. Kars is revealed to be the last of an ancient race that he slaughtered when they resisted his intention to evolve into a god at the expense of other living creatures. Kars then subjects Joseph to a more potent form of Hamon, but when Kars goes for the kill, Joseph subconsciously holds up the Super Aja. The stone intercepts Kars' Hamon and transmits the magnified energy into the volcano causing it to erupt, blasting Joseph and Kars into the air on a large piece of rock. Suddenly Joseph's severed arm hits Kars and distracts him long enough for the Pillar Man to be knocked higher by more flying rocks. Kars ends up being blasted out of Earth's atmosphere, becoming frozen lump of organic mineral as he drifts away from the planet. Joseph loses consciousness as his chunk of rock plummets back to the ocean and on February 28, 1939, Joseph Joestar is pronounced dead. However, he surprisingly appears at his funeral weeks later, having survived the fall and landing near Venice. He says he was nursed back to help by Suzi Q, whom he recently married, and received a prosthetic hand from Stroheim. Epilogue: Joseph and Suzie Q move to America after learning that Lisa Lisa (Elizabeth) is his mother, and she then remarries in 1948. Erina lived out the rest of her life as an elementary school teacher and died in 1950 at the age of 81. Speedwagon died two years later at the age of 89 with no heirs. Smokey Brown ultimately became the first black mayor of his hometown in Georgia. Stroheim died an honorable death with the German forces on the frontlines at the Battle of Stalingrad. Preview: In 1987 at JFK Airport, a 67-year-old Joseph lashes out at a Japanese tourist, angry at having to fly to Tokyo to see his daughter after she married a Japanese man. Four years earlier, a strange coffin is salvaged from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of the Canary Islands, engraved with the name 'DIO'. Meanwhile in 1987 Tokyo, a young man wearing a school uniform and cap sits in a jail cell with an ominous aura around him. |
