Overview

Spoiler-free synopsis

In a Japanese jail sits 17-year-old Jotaro Kujo: punk, fighter, delinquent...and possessed by a force beyond his control! Around the world, evil spirits are awakening: "Stands," monstrous invisible creatures which give their bearers incredible powers. To save his mother's life, Jotaro must tame his dark forces and travel around the world to Cairo, Egypt, where a hundred-year-old vampire thirsts for the blood of his family. But the road is long, and an army of evil Stand Users waits to kill JoJo and his friends...

Weakest season of JoJo thus far, though still fun due to Stands. Villain-of-the-week plot structure is a step down from Battle Tendency.

Jotaro sucks as a main character. "Cool" or "badass" doesn't mean a thing when he's less charismatic than the villain

The animation visuals are more polished, and JoJo invents a new fight system for itself. Expect a long villain of the day journey.
