: April 1, 2016
: August 18, 2018 In April 1999, roughly ten years after his battle against DIO, Jotaro Kujo travels to the town of Morioh to look for a boy named Josuke Higashikata. After first running into a timid boy named Koichi Hirose, Jotaro comes across Josuke as he fights with some upperclassmen who injured a turtle and insulted his hairstyle, discovering that he possesses a Stand that has the power to heal wounds. Jotaro then introduces himself, revealing to Josuke that he is the illegitimate son of his grandfather, Joseph Joestar, thus technically making him Jotaro's uncle. When Jotaro inadvertently insults his hairstyle, Josuke brings out his Stand Crazy Diamond against Jotaro, who narrowly avoids serious injury thanks to his Star Platinum's ability to temporarily stop time. Afterwards, Jotaro warns Josuke about a dangerous Stand user and serial killer named Anjuro "Angelo" Katagiri who is hiding out in town. The next day, as Josuke encounters a convenience store robbery the next day, he steps in after his hair is insulted again and uses Crazy Diamond to save the store clerk and implant the burglar's knife inside the man's own body. Just then, Josuke discovers that the burglar was being possessed by Angelo's Stand, Aqua Necklace, after which Angelo threatens to kill Jotaro and his family.
2
: April 8, 2016: August 25, 2018 Angelo sneaks Aqua Necklace into the Higashikata residence in the hope of killing Josuke's mother Tomoko, but Josuke manages to catch it before it can kill her and trap it inside a bottle. When Josuke's grandfather Ryohei comes home, however, Angelo, remembering that Ryohei was the one who put him in jail, tricks him into setting Aqua Necklace free and kills him. Josuke uses Crazy Diamond's ability to heal Ryohei's wounds but is saddened to discover that his power can't bring back those who have already died. As Josuke and Jotaro spend the next few days thinking of a plan to stop Angelo, they become surrounded after a rain storm floods the house, allowing Aqua Necklace to move freely through puddles and mist. Angelo attempts to kill Josuke by sending Aqua Necklace through a humidifier into its mouth, but Josuke traps it in a rubber glove he had swallowed earlier. Upon finding Angelo's physical body, Josuke takes revenge for his grandfather by trapping Angelo in a rock.
Angelo reveals to Josuke and Jotaro that he received his Stand ability from a man in a school uniform who shot him with a mysterious bow and arrow, mentioning Dio's name. Angelo attempts to use this discussion to distract the two and attack a nearby child with Aqua Necklace, but Josuke further merges him with the rock, permanently transforming him into the "Angelo Stone". Realizing that the bow and arrow may be what originally gave Dio his Stand, Jotaro decides to stay in Morioh to investigate. The next day, as Josuke and Koichi pass by what should be an abandoned house near Josuke's house, Koichi is attacked the Nijimura brothers, Okuyasu and Keicho, the latter of whom shoots an arrow through Koichi's neck. Before Josuke can rush to Koichi's aid, he is confronted by Okuyasu and his Stand The Hand, which can erase anything its right hand touches and instantly close the gap. Josuke uses this to his advantage by tricking Okuyasu into removing the space between him and some potted plants, which launch towards him and knock him out, allowing Josuke to move on inside the house.
As Josuke enters the house, Keicho attempts to attack him with his Stand Bad Company, but hits Okuyasu instead. After Josuke decides to heal his wounds, Okuyasu repays the favor by helping him recover Koichi from a booby-trapped room, allowing Josuke to save him in time. As Josuke and Koichi attempt to escape from Bad Company, an entire army of toy soldiers complete with tanks and helicopters, Josuke discovers that the arrow Keicho shot Koichi with has given him a Stand ability. After Keicho forces Koichi to bring out his Stand, which appears to just be a seemingly useless egg, he once again targets Josuke, but Josuke uses Crazy Diamond's ability to fire Bad Company's own missiles back at Keicho.
While searching the attic for the bow and arrow, Josuke and Koichi discover a mutated creature who is revealed to Okuyasu and Keicho's father. Keicho reveals that his father with once a servant under Dio, but following Dio's death, the flesh bud that was implanted into him mutated him into a monster that cannot be killed by conventional means. Keicho explains that he had been creating new Stand users in the hopes of finding an ability that can kill his father, who has been doing nothing but searching through an old chest. Using Crazy Diamond's ability, Josuke discovers that the father was searching for a torn up photograph of his family, hinting that he still retains memories of his old life. Just as Josuke offers to help Keicho and Okuyasu find a way to cure their father in exchange for the bow and arrow, Keicho is attacked the electrical Stand Red Hot Chili Pepper, who steals the bow and arrow and kills Keicho by dragging him through an electrical outlet. As Jotaro receives a warning from Red Hot Chili Pepper's user not to interfere any further, Okuyasu decides to befriend Josuke and go to school with him.
Koichi rides his bike on his way to school, and unintentionally runs over what he thinks is a cat in a burlap sack. Nearby, the cat's alleged owner Tamami Kobayashi tries to blackmail Koichi into paying for the cat, bringing out his Stand The Lock to literally weigh Koichi down with his own guilt. Okuyasu and Josuke soon arrive to help him, but Kobayashi tricks Okuyasu into feeling guilty for punching him and knocking him down and falling under the thrall of The Lock. However, Josuke discovers that the cat was fake and also heals Kobayashi's injuries, freeing both Koichi and Okuyasu, though Kobayashi still gets away with all of Koichi's money. Upon arriving home, Koichi is shocked to find Kobayashi, who tricks his mother into thinking Koichi had stolen from him and puts both her and Koichi's sister under The Lock's power. Koichi's anger towards Kobayashi leads his Stand egg to hatch into Echoes, which initially appears to have no physical strength. However, Kobayashi discovers Echoes' true ability is to plant literal sound effects, driving him crazy with repeated sounds. Kobayashi tries to take his revenge by tricking Koichi's mother and sister into thinking Koichi had stabbed him, aiming to drive Koichi's mother to kill herself. However, Koichi manages to use Echoes' ability to convince his mother to believe in him, ultimately freeing both her and his sister from The Lock's power. Following his ordeal, Kobayashi resigns himself to be Koichi's servant.
7
: May 13, 2016: October 6, 2018 Kobayashi informs Josuke and Koichi about a Stand user in their school named Toshikazu Hazamada who allegedly caused his friend to gouge his own eye out. While investigating Hazamada's locker, Josuke comes across a wooden dummy which turns out to be Hazamada's Stand Surface, which turns into a copy of Josuke and takes control of his movements. After seemingly defeating both Josuke and Koichi, Hazamada aims to use his copy of Josuke to lure Jotaro into a trap. Having used their respective abilities to protect each other from Hazamada's attack, Josuke and Koichi use their Stands' powers to meet up with Jotaro before Hazamada and Surface. Just then, Hazamada has Surface take control of Josuke and tries to have him kill Jotaro in his stead. However, he is stopped by two bikers who he had attacked on the way to meeting place, who dish out their revenge after learning of his plans from Josuke.
8
: May 20, 2016: October 13, 2018 Koichi meets with classmate Yukako Yamagishi who confesses her love for him, but also loses her temper at the thought of being turned down. When she leaves, Koichi realizes that her hair has been left behind in his drink. The next day, after she apologizes to Koichi, Yukako confronts the class representative after she insulted Koichi in front of her, and uses her Stand Love Deluxe, which allows her to control her own hair, to attempt to burn the class rep alive, until Josuke and Okuyasu arrive to save her. The two warn Koichi of Yukako's Stand and encourage him to try to become a delinquent so she loses interest. Their plans backfire when Yukako kidnaps Koichi and uses his recently-failed English test as proof of the rumors Josuke and Okuyasu tried to spread about Koichi. She holds him hostage in an abandoned summer villa, torturing him in her attempts to mold him into the perfect gentleman.
9
: May 27, 2016: October 20, 2018 While looking for a way to escape, Koichi manages to find a nearby payphone, and he uses Echoes' ability to trick Yukako into contacting Josuke, which clues him and Okuyasu in on their location. As Koichi attempts to survive Yukako's fury until Josuke arrives, Echoes transforms into a new form, Echoes Act 2, which can turn the sound effects it writes into real actions when touched. Yukako endures several counterattacks from Koichi's new Stand ability, but when she is literally blown away onto a nearby cliff, Echoes realizes that the edge she has landed on is about to crack and fall. Yukako believes it is only a trick and continues her attack, until the cliff gives way and she falls to the sharp rocks below and to what she believes is her death. However, Echoes Act 2 had already put a bouncy sound effect on the rocks, thus saving her life. As Koichi reunites with Josuke and Koichi, Yukako gains an all-new admiration for Koichi as he had saved her even after all she put him through.
10
: June 3, 2016: October 27, 2018 On the way to Keicho's grave, Josuke and Okuyasu visit an Italian restaurant run by Chef Tonio Trussardi, who makes dishes based on the observations of his customers. He even astutely notices that Okuyasu did not get enough sleep, has a sore shoulder, cavities, a stomach ache, and athlete's foot. However, Josuke suspects things are not what they seem when Okuyasu begins reacting strangely to all the food Tonio serves them as his body reacts violently, but then his various maladies are cured. Josuke uses Crazy Diamond on one of the dishes to restore it to its original state, revealing Tonio's Stand Pearl Jam. Josuke believes it is a trap and tries to confront Tonio before Okuyasu is served the next dish, but Tonio apparently attacks him and Okuyasu gorges himself on a dish that Josuke just saw a puppy eat before it was disemboweled by Pearl Jam's powers. However, Tonio is just upset that Josuke went into the kitchen without washing his hands, revealing he uses his Stand to help people, and both Okuyasu and the puppy are cured of their stomach troubles. As Okuyasu finishes his meal and Josuke cleans the kitchen, elsewhere Jotaro meets with a representative of the Speedwagon Foundation who informs him Joseph Joestar is on his way to Morioh.
11
: June 10, 2016: November 3, 2018 While Josuke plays video games, he is ambushed by Red Hot Chili Pepper, who not only reveals he has been spying on him and his friends, but also has come to fight him in order to see if he is strong enough to take on Jotaro and Star Platinum. Despite Crazy Diamond's show of strength and speed, but Chili Pepper manages to show off his own strength before retreating. The next day, Jotaro calls on Josuke, Okuyasu, and Koichi to inform them that Joseph, whose Hermit Purple Stand can potentially detect Chili Pepper's user, is due to arrive at the port. Just then, Chili Pepper appears from Okuyasu's motorcycle's battery, having heard the whole conversation. He uses the motorcycle to escape to the port, but Okuyasu manages to stop him with The Hand's ability to cut through space-time. Chili Pepper is severely weakened but manages to trick Okuyasu into attacking him once more, revealing an underground electrical cable that makes him stronger. He attacks, severing Okuyasu's arm in the process, and drags the rest of his body into the cable. Luckily, Josuke manages to use Crazy Diamond on Okuyasu's arm, which takes his body away from Chili Pepper before he can be killed and heals him, before Josuke and Jotaro head to the port to save Joseph from the ambush.
12
: June 17, 2016: November 10, 2018 Jotaro and Okuyasu head off to rendezvous with Joseph's ship while Josuke and Koichi stay on the docks, where they are confronted by Chili Pepper's user, Akira Otoishi. Otoishi hides Chili Pepper in the underground wires to launch surprise attacks on Josuke from all directions, but Josuke manages to turn the surrounding concrete back into coal tar, allowing him to predict Chili Pepper's movements. Angered, Otoishi uses all the electricity in Morioh Town in order to power Chili Pepper up. However, Josuke manages to trap Chili Pepper in a tire and trick into bursting out, causing the air inside to blow him into the ocean where he disperses. Otoishi manages to survive and sneak onto Joseph's boat disguised as a member of the Speedwagon Foundation, but Okuyasu manages to stop him, allowing Josuke to finally meet his father.
13
: June 24, 2016: November 24, 2018 Following Otoishi's defeat, Jotaro manages to retrieve the bow and arrow, though urges the others to be careful of any Stand users that were created. As Josuke tries to escort Joseph back to his house to meet Tomoko, Joseph comes across what appears to be an invisible baby girl, which he believes had unknowingly become a Stand user. After spending a fortune on baby supplies, Joseph tries to dress up the baby, only for her ability to start making everything within a radius, including Joseph's hand, invisible as well when she starts crying. Things get hectic when Joseph accidentally knocks the baby into the river. Feeling guilty, Joseph decides to slit his wrist in order to use his blood to reveal the baby's location, allowing Josuke to rescue her. Initially mad with him, Josuke comes to admire Joseph until he realizes how much he spent on baby supplies.

: July 1, 2016: December 1, 2018 Hazamada brings Koichi to the home of famed manga artist Rohan Kishibe, who gives them a tour of his studio. Despite being creeped out by how far Rohan goes to perfect his manga, Koichi and Hazamada can't resist the chance to sneak a peek at his new manuscript. The moment they do, however, they fall under the power of Rohan's Stand, Heaven's Door, which allows him to open their bodies like a book and read all of their secrets. After learning of Koichi's encounters with Stand users, Rohan writes a safety lock in one of Koichi's pages, preventing Koichi from attacking him. He then proceeds to take pages from both Koichi and Hazamada as material for his manga, leaving them with no memory of what just happened. That night, Koichi senses something amiss when he discovers he's lost 20kg, but suddenly forgets about it just as he prepares to inform Josuke. The next day, Koichi finds himself at Rohan's house again, with Josuke and Okuyasu following closely behind.

(漫画家のうちへ遊びに行こう その2 Mangaka no Uchi e Asobi ni Ikō Sono 2)
: July 8, 2016: December 8, 2018 As Rohan plans to keep taking pages from Koichi to inspire his manga works, the safety lock written inside Koichi prevents him from asking Josuke and Okuyasu for help. However, Josuke and Okuyasu manage to deduce what's happening from a wound on Koichi's hand and head inside Rohan's house. Rohan uses his manuscript to put Okuyasu under Heaven's Door's power, writing a safety lock that will cause him to commit suicide if Josuke tries to help him. Rohan then insults Josuke's hairstyle in order to provoke him into opening his eyes and viewing his manuscript, but this fails as Josuke is literally blinded by his rage that he doesn't even notice the manuscript. As Josuke beats Rohan to a pulp, Koichi explains that when Josuke came down with a fever when he was four years old, it was a student with a pompadour hairstyle who helped him and his mother get to a hospital in the middle of a blizzard, inspiring Josuke to copy his hairstyle and take offense to anyone who insults it.
Jotaro brings Josuke along with him to track down a rat that had been turned into a Stand user by Otoishi, teaching him how to fire ball bearings. During their search, the pair discover several rat corpses that had been melted from the inside and merged together into a gelatinous flesh cube. Investigating an abandoned house, Josuke comes up against the rat, who had merged the home's owners together. Withstanding Josuke's initial attack, the rat attacks with its Stand, Ratt, before it succumbs to its injuries and dies. However, Jotaro then reveals that he had encountered a second rat with the same ability, which escapes out of the house. While pursuing the second rat, which Jotaro names Bug-Eaten, Josuke falls into a trap and gets hit by one of Ratt's needles, though is saved thanks to Jotaro's time stopping ability. Jotaro then uses himself as bait to lure out Bug-Eaten, tasking Josuke with pinpointing its location and shooting it. Despite the pressure put on him by Jotaro's increasing injuries, Josuke manages to focus and lure Bug-Eaten out into the open, allowing him to successfully make the kill shot.
Noticing a mysterious alleyway that isn't marked on the town map, Rohan brings Koichi along to investigate. As they keep going around corners, they keep finding themselves on the same street with a mailbox. They are then approached by a girl named Reimi Sugimoto who reveals that both she and her dog Arnold are ghosts who were murdered fifteen years ago. Explaining that the alleyway is a realm between the worlds of the living and the dead, Reimi informs the others that the man who murdered her has been secretly killing others and asks them to stop him. After they agree, Reimi points them towards the exit, warning them not to turn around as they will be pulled into the afterlife by dark spirits. Just as they near the exit, the spirits trick Koichi into turning around, but Rohan manages to use Heaven's Door to get both of them to safety. Afterwards, Rohan meets an old man at Reimi's grave, learning that he was once friends with Reimi, who had saved him from being murdered as well. Meanwhile, as Koichi informs Josuke and Okuyasu about the murder, a man named Yoshikage Kira drives home with a woman's severed hand.
18
: July 29, 2016: January 12, 2019 Josuke and Okuyasu spot a group of hornet-shaped Stands, known as Harvest, picking up loose change and chase them back to its user, a middle school student named Shigekiyo Yangu. Learning how much money Shigekiyo made just from loose change, Josuke and Okuyasu strike up a business friendship with him, using Harvest to search for discarded stickers and vouchers that can be exchanged for larger cash rewards. During their search, the boys manage to find a winning lottery ticket with a 5-million yen jackpot, a prize Shigekiyo is reluctant to share with Josuke and Okuyasu.
19
: August 5, 2016: January 19, 2019 Josuke, Okuyasu, and Shigekiyo go to the bank to collect the lottery reward, where the bankteller finds a name and number written on the back of the ticket. Just as the teller contacts the person written on the ticket, Josuke uses Crazy Diamond's power to change the name on the ticket, allowing the boys to successfully claim the promissary note for the prize. However, when Shigekiyo tries to claim the prize for himself, he sets his Harvest after Josuke and Okuyasu when they try to stop him. As the two chase after Shigekiyo, he uses Harvest to inject alcohol into their veins, causing them to become drunk and defenseless. Outnumbered by Harvest, Okuyasu uses the lure of money to draw Shigekiyo close enough to take back the prize, which Josuke rips into shreds and sends into the wind in order to scatter Harvest and leave Shigekiyo defenseless. After some proper motivation from Josuke, Shigekiyo agrees to split the money evenly.
20
: August 12, 2016: January 26, 2019 While downhearted over Koichi, Yukako comes across a aesthetician named Aya Tsuji, who uses her Stand, Cinderella, to remodel her face slightly so that Koichi will fall in the love with her. Finding the treatment effective but temporary, Yukako undergoes a full body treatment despite knowing of Aya's Stand, which replaces entire parts of her body. After a moment of luck, Yukako manages to get a kiss from Koichi, who starts to fall in love with her. However, after forgetting to apply a lipstick that needed to be applied periodically, Yukako's modification start to fall apart, leaving her without even her original face. When Koichi arrives, managing to recognize Yukako from her personality, Aya challenges Yukako with picking her own face out of several copies she has made, with the wrong one doomed to leave her ugly forever. As Yukako struggles to find her own face, she leaves the choice to Koichi, who offers to have Aya make him blind if he is wrong. Sensing Koichi's true love for Yukako, Aya, who had originally planned to trick them, allows him to pick the right face and restore Yukako to her original beauty.

: August 26, 2016: February 9, 2019 Kira uses his Killer Queen's ability to turn anything into a bomb, using a coin to deal heavy damage to Shigekiyo. Shigekiyo attempts to escape in order to reach Josuke, but Kira catches up to him, using a doorknob as a bomb to kill him. In his final moments, Shigekiyo has one of his Harvest bring Josuke a button that came off of Kira's jacket. Having seen Shigekiyo's soul pass by her realm, Reimi confirms to Josuke and the other allied Stand users that Shigekiyo was killed by the same person who murdered her, who they quickly realize is another Stand user. A few days later, Jotaro and Koichi go to a shoe shop where button's is having their jacket repaired. Just as the owner attempts to reveal his customer's name, Kira kills him using his Killer Queen's second bomb, Sheer Heart Attack.
23
: September 2, 2016: February 16, 2019 Advising Koichi against recklessly chasing after the culprit, Jotaro goes up against Sheer Heart Attack, which proves to be resilient to Star Platinum's attacks. Ignoring Jotaro's warning, Koichi sends Echoes to search for the jacket's owner, only to find he can control Sheer Heart Attack from outside Echoes' range, leaving him open to an attack from Sheer Heart Attack. Deducing that Sheer Heart Attack uses body temperature to determine its primary target, Jotaro uses a fire to lure it away from Koichi, but gets critically injured by its explosion. Thinking things carefully, Koichi manages to use Echoes' ability to distract Sheer Heart Attack while he contacts Josuke. As Koichi is once again pursued, Echoes evolves into its third form, Echoes Act 3, using its new ability to increase Sheer Heart Attack's weight and stop its movements, forcing Kira to set off to retrieve it.
24
: September 9, 2016: February 23, 2019 While Josuke and Okuyasu make their way to the scene, Kira appears before Koichi, knocking him out of Act 3's range and undoing the gravity on Sheer Heart Attack. Taking advantage of Act 3's limitations, Kira brutally beats Koichi, who uses the opportunity to learn Kira's real name. Just as Kira deals a lethal blow to Koichi and prepares to kill him using Killer Queen, Jotaro manages to stand up long enough to stop Kira and give him a pummeling. As Josuke arrives with Okuyasu to heal Jotaro and Koichi, Kira chops off his own hand to set Sheer Heart Attack loose and escape. Using Crazy Diamond's ability to have Sheer Heart Attack reunite with Kira's hand and try to rejoin his body, Josuke and the others follow it to Salon Cinderella, where they discover Kira has killed Aya after forcing her to replace his face with another person, allowing him to take on a new identity and hide once again.
Josuke and the others search through Kira's house, learning that he had been keeping a record of his toenail clippings since his murder of Reimi. Just then, a camera takes a picture of them containing the ghost of Kira's late father, Yoshihiro. Using his Stand, Atom Heart Father, Yoshihiro traps Josuke and Jotaro within the confines of the photograph, with any damage done to the photo dealt to them as well. Jotaro manages to trick Yoshihiro into taking a picture of himself, freeing Josuke and Jotaro and trapping himself in a separate photograph. However, Yoshihiro manages to trick Okuyasu into setting him free, managing to retrieve another arrow that Kira had in his possession as he makes his escape. Elsewhere, Kira begins living under the new identity of the man whose face he stole, Kosaku Kawajiri, moving into his house with his wife Shinobu and their son Hayato.
26
: September 23, 2016: March 9, 2019 Yoshihiro decides to use the arrow to make more Stand-wielding allies, first using it on a boy named Ken Oyanagi. Ken then pesters Rohan to play Janken with him, losing his first match after Rohan uses Heaven's Door to figure out his move. As Ken continues to force Rohan to play Janken with him and manages to win his third match against him, his Stand, Boy II Man, appears and tries to suck in Heaven's Door. Rohan soon learns that Ken's Stand allows him to steal energy from others and keep it if he wins three times out of five, discovering that he has already gained a third of Heaven's Door's ability. Ken then wins the fourth match, gaining more of Heaven's Door's ability and evening the score. After holding on with a pair of ties, Rohan manages to win his third match and retrieve Heaven's Door after borrowing Shizuka the invisible baby from Joseph and having her change what Ken attempted to throw out. Ken attempts to kill himself by jumping in front of the truck, but Rohan manages to use his own brand of luck to save him, convincing Ken to stop using his Stand for evil.
Josuke and Okuyasu come across a peculiar person named Mikitaka Hazekura who claims to be an alien. Believing his claims to be a joke, Josuke initially suspects him to be a Stand user when he exhibits some strange abilities. However, upon being distressed by the sound of sirens, Mikitaka suddenly transforms his body into a pair of sneakers and flees with Josuke, who realizes he is not a Stand user as he cannot see Crazy Diamond. Looking to take advantage of Mikitaka's transformation ability, Josuke has Mikitaka transform into some dice and challenges Rohan to a game of Cee-lo in the hopes of winning some money off of him. As the match begins, Josuke grows worried when Mikitaka seems to get suspiciously ideal rolls.
Becoming suspicious of Josuke's winning streak, Rohan stabs his own finger, staking two million yen against Josuke's own finger to determine how he is cheating while also calling upon Tamami Kobayashi as an official to prevent Josuke from playing normally. Just as Mikitaka becomes unnerved by sirens and starts to lose his transformation, Rohan is distracted upon discovering he had accidentally set his house on fire, allowing Josuke to escape without being discovered. The next day, while riding a bus through a tunnel with Josuke, Rohan spots a window to a room revealing a man cutting off a woman's hand, believing it to be Kira. Returning to inspect the tunnel, Rohan discovers the room to be an illusional trap, suddenly finding himself attacked by a nutrient-sucking Stand named Highway Star. When Josuke comes to the tunnel, Highway Star tries to use Rohan to lure him into his room. As Josuke ignores Rohan's warnings and enters the room anyway, Rohan sends him flying out of the tunnel, urging him to flee from Highway Star and find his user.
Believing there is connection between Highway Star's user and the Futatsumori Tunnel he resided in, Josuke gets in contact with Koichi, who suspects the user to be someone hospitalized from a traffic accident stealing nutrients to heal himself. While Josuke makes his way to the hospital while keeping ahead of Highway Star, Koichi manages to find out the identity of its user, Yuya Fungami. Despite being caught by Highway Star upon reaching Yuya's room, Josuke manages to recover his nutrients with an IV drip, healing Yuya's injuries so he can pummel him without guilt. Meanwhile, at the Kawajiri household, Shinobu finds a British Blue cat hanging around the basement.

: October 21, 2016: April 6, 2019 Upon discovering the cat to have a hole in its throat, Shinobu sends Kira down to the basement, where he discovers the cat had been killed by glass shards during its struggle with Shinobu. After being buried in the garden, the cat mysteriously comes back to life in the form of a strange plant known as Stray Cat, possessing the ability to control air. Discovering Stray Cat to be the cat from earlier and realizing it has a strong grudge against Shinobu, Kira ends up shielding her from its attacks, eventually stopping it by appealing to its cat-like nature. The next day, Hayato discovers Stray Cat while investigating the attic, coming under attack after he exposes him to sunlight. Managing to use Stray Cat's air attacks to put it back to sleep, Hayato barely manages to avoid being discovered by Kira, who he realizes isn't his real father.
31
: October 28, 2016: April 13, 2019 Yoshihiro, recognizing Kira in his new appearance, notices he is being followed by Hayato. Later, on July 15th, Josuke and Okuyasu come across Mikitaka, who spots a Stand user named Toyohiro Kanedaichi living on an electrical pylon. When Josuke spots Yoshihiro with him, he steps inside the pylon and falls under the spell of Toyohiro's Stand, Super Fly, becoming trapped inside until someone else takes his place. Josuke and Okuyasu attempt to destroy the pylon, only to discover it dishes out any damage it takes. Wanting to help, Mikitaka confronts Toyohiro, helping Josuke escape but becoming trapped himself. Meanwhile, as something troubling happens in the Higashikata household, Rohan, who had noticed Hayato's behavior, is approached by a strange man.
32
: November 4, 2016: April 20, 2019 Rohan is greeted by Masazo Kinoto, an architect sent to evaluate the damages done to his house, using his Heaven's Door to find nothing suspicious besides an aversion to people looking at his back. Meanwhile, Josuke climbs up the pylon to rescue Mikitaka and confront Kanedaichi, who uses calculative cuts on the pylon to attack Josuke from all angles. However, Josuke manages to use Crazy Diamond's healing ability to send the bolts of energy back to their origin and defeat Kanedaichi. Resigning himself to stay inside the pylon, Kanedachi reveals that he heard Yoshihiro say that another Stand user has allegedly eliminated Koichi. Enlisting Yuya's help in tracking Koichi's scent in exchange for healing his injuries, Josuke encounters the Stand user, Terunosuke Miyamoto, who unbeknownst to him had used his Stand Enigma to turn Koichi and Tomoko into pieces of paper after witnessing their ticks when they are afraid.
33
: November 11, 2016: April 27, 2019 Overcome by his curiosity, Rohan lays a trap for Kinoto so he can see his back. The moment he does, however, a Stand possessing its own will named Cheap Trick bursts from Kinoto's back and attaches himself to Rohan's back instead, demanding that he burn the pictures he had taken of Kira suspects. Meanwhile, Miyamoto reveals that he has trapped Koichi in a piece of paper, managing to prompt Josuke into biting his lip and falling under Enigma's power himself, becoming trapped as well as a result. Despite not wanting to get involved, Yuya becomes moved by Josuke's resolve and goes after Miyamoto, encountering several paper-hidden traps that eventually culminates in a shredder that threatens to shred both Josuke and Koichi. Despite being overcome by fear and falling under Enigma's power, Yuya manages to take advantage of his now paper-like state to reach into the shredder and free Josuke and Koichi, who quickly deliver their vengeance on Miyamoto who winds up in the form of a book.
34
: November 18, 2016: May 4, 2019 Unable to get Koichi to take him seriously without exposing his back and passing Cheap Trick onto him, Rohan attempts to make his way to Morioh Grand Hotel without letting anyone see his back. Cheap Trick attempts to attract several cats and dogs to attack Rohan and witness his back, but they are shooed off by Koichi, who eventually comes to believe Rohan's story. Koichi attempts to forcibly remove Cheap Trick using Echoes ACT3, only to discover that doing so will damage Rohan as well. Despite this, Rohan succeeds in his ultimate goal to lure Cheap Trick into Reimi's Ghost Alley and trick him into turning around, getting dragged into Hell by the alley's hands as a result. Meanwhile, Hayato witnesses Kira killing a couple with his ability and catches it on film, something that Kira is quick to notice. Kira confronts Hayato and prepares to kill him, only for Hayato to reveal he has set up further cameras and videotapes that would threaten to expose his identity.
35
: November 25, 2016: May 11, 2019 Kira inadvertently kills Hayato before learning from Yoshihiro that Rohan and the others now have Kosaku Kawajiri as one of their suspects. As Kira becomes anxious over what he should do, he is suddenly impaled by Yoshihiro's Arrow, giving Killer Queen a new ability. The next morning, Hayato appears alive and well, as if nothing had happened to him the previous night, noticing Kira has a strange confidence about his position. Later that morning, Hayato comes across Rohan, who uses Heaven's Door to read his memories. After reading several pages predicting occurrences moments before they happen, Rohan comes across a page revealing Kira's identity. It is at this moment, however, that Kira activates the third bomb that he had implanted in Hayato, Bites the Dust, which is set to kill anyone who learns about Kira's identity through Hayato. As the explosion goes off inside of Rohan's body, Hayato suddenly finds himself sent back in time to an hour earlier due to Bites the Dust's effects.
36
: December 2, 2016: May 18, 2019 Hayato tries to avoid meeting Rohan, only to discover the events that occurred last time will still happen even without him being there, resulting in Rohan's death by Bites the Dust's explosion. When Josuke's group arrive at the scene shortly afterwards, Hayato attempts to kill himself to avoid being found out. However, he is stopped by Killer Queen, who sets off Bites the Dust in Josuke and the others and once again returns Hayato to the start of the morning. Realizing that he can only stop Kira by either killing him or forcing him to undo Bites the Dust, Hayato hides Stray Cat in his backpack, launching a surprise attack on Kira when he follows him later in the morning. However, because of a slight alteration of events due to Hayato's actions, Kira manages to protect himself from Stray Cat's attack with a watch he had put in his jacket.
37
: December 9, 2016: May 25, 2019 As Kira brags about his victory to Hayato, he unknowingly reveals his own identity to Josuke, who Hayato had secretly called ahead of time. Needing Killer Queen to protect himself, Kira is forced to undo Bites the Dust, preventing Rohan from being killed by its effects. Engaging in battle against Josuke and Okuyasu, Kira manages to retrieve Stray Cat and use its air shots to create invisible remote bombs, dealing heavy damage to Okuyasu. As Josuke tries to reach Okuyasu in order to heal him, Hayato deduces that Okuyasu's body might have been turned into a bomb, leaving Josuke with the tough decision of whether to sacrifice himself to save Okuyasu. However, Hayato, deducing that Kira can only set off one bomb at a time, sets off the bomb on himself, allowing Josuke to heal both him and Okuyasu. As Kira launches another air bomb, Josuke, refusing to believe Okuyasu might already be dead, manages to use Crazy Diamond on debris in his wounds to dodge the explosion.
38
: December 16, 2016: June 1, 2019 Despite Josuke and Hayato hiding inside the house, Kira manages to figure out Josuke's location and send an air bomb after him. Although Josuke gets hurt in the explosion, he manages to use his hardened blood on a vase fragment, turning it into a homing bullet that manages to hit Kira. Noticing Kira carrying a cell phone with him, Josuke deduces that Yoshihiro had been hiding in Hayato's pocket, informing his son of their location, and tricks Kira into killing him instead. Josuke then draws Kira into a close quarters fight, but Stray Cat manages to protect Kira from Crazy Diamond's attacks. Just as Josuke is about to be hit by another air bomb, he is saved by a very much alive Okuyasu, who retrieves Stray Cat from Kira, driving him further into a corner as Jotaro and the others arrive on the scene.
39
: December 23, 2016: June 8, 2019 Surrounded by ambulances and fire engines, Kira attempts to use an approaching nurse to activate Bites the Dust again. While initially believing himself to have succeeded, Kira finds himself in Ghost Alley. There, Reimi reveals to Kira that he had in fact died after he was stopped by Koichi and Jotaro and run over by an ambulance. Thanks to the combined efforts of Reimi and Arnold, Kira is forced to turn around and is dragged into the underworld by the alley's hands. No longer bound to her attachments, Reimi and Arnold bid farewell to everyone before moving on to the next life. The next day, Jotaro and Josuke return home as the summer of 1999 draws to a close for the residents of Morioh Town.

Trivia
- Reflecting Araki's gradual-yet-dramatic change of art style in the original manga, season three features different character designs from those of season one and two; this season incorporates various elements from the three art styles that the manga took on during Part 4's progression.
- This choice of art direction also provides a contrast with the previous season, which relied on the character designs present at the end of each part (save for Iggy, who underwent the gradual change in design that was present in the original manga) for its adaptation.
- According to character designer and chief animation director, Terumi Nishii, pleasing the “Boy Love” (Yaoi) fans was taken into account when designing the characters, though they retain her regular style.[1]
- In a curious departure from the other seasons, this is the first season to have the episodes without their post-credits teasers for the next episode. Instead, the teasers are uploaded to the official website.
- For an unknown reason, Love Deluxe, Echoes ACT 2, Achtung Baby, Ratt, Boy II Man and Killer Queen Bites The Dust are the only Stands to never receive stat info cards.
- Eleven voice actors who have voiced characters in other JoJo media return for roles in Diamond Is Unbreakable, with three reprising their roles:
- Wataru Takagi reprises his role of Okuyasu Nijimura from All Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven.
- Yuki Kaji, voice actor of Johnny Joestar in All Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven, voices Koichi Hirose.
- Takahiro Sakurai, who previously voiced Bruno Bucciarati in GioGio's Bizarre Adventure, now voices Rohan Kishibe.
- Naomi Kusumi, voice of Jack the Ripper in Phantom Blood, voices Father Nijimura.
- Kappei Yamaguchi returns to voice Shigekiyo Yangu from All Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven.
- Funny Valentine's voice actor from All Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven, Yasuyuki Kase, voices Mikitaka Hazekura.
- Satoshi Tsuruoka, voice of Wired Beck in Battle Tendency voices Tamami Kobayashi.
- Showtaro Morikubo reprises his role of Akira Otoishi from All Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven.
- Toshiyuki Morikawa, Diavolo's voice actor from All Star Battle and Eyes of Heaven, voices Yoshikage Kira.
- Shigeru Chiba, who made grunts for Iggy in All Star Battle, voices Yoshihiro Kira.
- Kengo Kawanishi, who provided various voices in Stardust Crusaders, voices Terunosuke Miyamoto.
