content
The series tells the story of the House of Joestar, a powerful family with English roots, and their bitter hostility with the family of Dio Brando, which extends for generations. The story is divided into several storylines, in each of which a descendant of the Joestar family takes on the role of the protagonist. The enmity between the two clans is often fought out in battles. The peculiarities of the battles are the supernatural forces, the so-called "stands", which not only the family members but also other allies outside the two families have and which appear for the first time in the 3rd storyline. The “stands” can be seen as a manifestation of the body's own energy that appears in an astral projection .
- Part: Phantom Blood フ ァ ン ト ム ブ ラ ッ ド Fantomu Buraddo:
(Volumes 1 to 5)
The first storyline takes place in England in the 1880s. The story is about Jonathan Joestar and his rival Dio Brando, who was accepted as his protégé by Jonathan's father. Between the two of them begins the feud that is the main theme of the series.
Part 2: Battle Tendency 戦 闘 潮流 Sentō Chōryū:
(Volumes 5 to 12)
The story takes place in New York City and leads to Mexico, Italy and Switzerland, where it finally ends in 1938. The protagonist is Joseph Joestar, the grandson of Jonathan Joestar.
Part 3: Stardust Crusaders ス タ ー ダ ス ト ク ル セ イ ダ ー ス Sutādasuto Kuruseidāsu:
(Volumes 12 to 28)
The protagonist of the story is Jōtarō Kūjō, the grandson of Joseph Joestar. The story tells of Jōtarō's adventures in 1989. It begins in Japan, spreads across Asia and finally ends in Egypt. This is where the "stands" are introduced for the first time.
4. Part: Diamond Is Unbreakable (also "Diamond Is Not Crash") ダ イ ヤ モ ン ド は 砕 け な い Daiyamondo wa Kudakenai:
(Volumes 29 to 47)
The story takes place in the fictional Japanese city of Moriō in 1999. The protagonist is Jōsuke Higashikata, the illegitimate son of Joseph Joestar.
5. Part: Vento Aureo 黄金 の 風 Ōgon no Kaze:
(Volumes 47 to 63)
The action is moved to Italy in 2001. The role of the protagonist is taken over by Giorno Giovanna, the son of the villain Dio Brando.
6. Part: Stone Ocean ス ト ー ン オ ー シ ャ ン Sutōn Ōshan:
(Volumes 1 to 17 or 64 to 80)
The story takes place in Florida from 2011 to 2012. Jolyne Kūjō (also "Cujoh"), the daughter of Jōtarō Kūjō, plays the protagonist who ends up wrongly in prison.
Part 7: Steel Ball Run ス テ ィ ー ル ・ ボ ー ル ・ ラ ン Sutīru Bōru Ran:
(Volumes 1 to 24 or 81 to 104)
Unlike the previous narrative threads, the 7th storyline is told in an alternative timeline in the years 1890 and 1891. The story revolves around Johnny Joestar, Gyro Zeppeli and their journey through the United States of America, where it ends in New York.
8.Part: JoJolion ジ ョ ジ ョ リ オ ン Jojorion:
(previously 11 volumes or from 104)
Again, the story takes place in the fictional Japanese city of Moriō and remains in the alternative timeline of the 7th storyline. The protagonist is so far only presumably known as Jōsuke Higashikata. Although he has the same name as the protagonist of storyline 4, his name in Kanji is spelled with 定 助 instead of 仗 助.
