Vague de Crime à Morioh
Par une nuit pluvieuse, un criminel nommé se fait pourchasser par la police et s'est réfugié dans un immeuble. Alors que la police évacue l'immeuble, l'officier s'inquiète pour une famille manquante à l'appel. Lorsqu'il appelle cette famille (les Yamashita), on voit que c'est Katagiri qui les a capturé. Celui-ci voit le nom de Ryohei Higashikata sur le téléphone, et il s'enfuit par les toits après avoir poignardé le mari. Katagiri rencontre alors un tenant un arc et une flèche. Le jeune homme lui tire dessus avant de reprendre la flèche. Voyant que Katagiri a survécu, le jeune homme inconnu le félicite avant de partir. Katagiri est ensuite capturé par la police, mais un étrange pouvoir s'éveille en lui. Alors qu'on l'interroge, Katagiri massacre les policiers et s'enfuit du commissariat.

L'intrigue saute vers le point de vue d'un adolescent nommé. Il vient de déménager à, une ville côtière ordinaire et paisible d'ordinaire. Cependant, une vague de meurtres inexpliqués sème la peur en ville. Alors qu'il part à l'école, deux délinquants s'en prennent à Koichi mais un camarade de classe nommé le sauve. Josuke est d'un naturel paisible mais se met en colère quand on se moque de son pompadour ; en plus, il a un pouvoir mystérieux et semble pouvoir frapper les gens à distance et est capable de restaurer le vélo de Koichi sans explication. Koichi, qui n'a pas d'ami au lycée mis à part une camarade nommée qui lui colle à la peau, Koichi décide de côtoyer Josuke.

On voit deux jeunes racoler des femmes dans la rue. Ryohei vient et les réprimande. Il parle à l'un des jeunes,, qui a quitté son travail. Malgré l'hostilité du jeune homme, Ryohei lui propose son aide avant de partir. Alors que les deux délinquants traînent dans un parc, ils sont attaqué par l'eau de la fontaine. L'eau tue le camarade de Mayasa,, puis s'en prend à Masaya.

A la fin des classes, Josuke et Koichi assistent à une prise d'otage. C'est Masaya qui a essayé de cambrioler un magasin et a pris une caissière en otage. Masaya insulte la coiffure de Josuke, ce qui met ce dernier en colère. Josuke confronte Masaya et le neutralise tout en sauvant la caissière avec son pouvoir. Le voyou tombe à terre, et c'est alors que Josuke voit une créature faite d'eau ramper hors de la bouche de Masaya. Cette créature, invisible de tous sauf pour Josuke, s'échappe dans les égouts tandis que Katagiri observe la scène.

Ryohei retourne chez lui. Il salue sa fille et réprimande son petit fils Josuke pour avoir intervenu imprudemment durant la prison d'otage. Ryohei est intrigué que Masaya ait pu vouloir commettre un crime aussi violent. Dans sa chambre, Ryohei contemple le mur qui est couvert de message de remerciement pour son service en tant que policier, et frappe le mur, frustré qu'un membre de sa ville chérie soit mort.

La même nuit, le jeune homme avec l'arc et la flèche continue de tirer sur des gens pour une raison mystérieuse.

Josuke against Katagiri
The next day, Koichi brings a mysterious man clad in white to Josuke. The stranger presents himself as Jotaro Kujo, his nephew, and explains to him that he is the illegitimate son of Joseph Joestar. Troubled by these explanations, Josuke can only apologize for the trouble he's caused, to Jotaro's consternation. Moreover, Jotaro asks him if he's seen strange phenomena, but their discussion becomes a fight when Jotaro unwittingly insults Josuke's hair. Josuke summons his power, but Jotaro also brings out his own ability, a humanoid warrior. Jotaro then explains that both are Stand Users, who can use psychic creatures invisible to ordinary people. Angry, Josuke still attacks and Jotaro stops the flow of time to avoid the strike and punch down Josuke. The fight has defused, and Josuke reveals the water creature he's witnessed yesterday before leaving. Worried, Jotaro reports to Joseph about the incoming crisis.

That night, Katagiri meets with the teen who's granted him this power. Dining at a restaurant, Katagiri demonstrates his control over water, and also vows to kill the teenager who "got in his way". Although the teen lets Katagiri roam free, he doesn't reveal anything about himself. Meanwhile, the Higashikata family is having dinner. Although Tomoko is worried about the local crime wave, Ryohei tells her to believe in the good of Morioh's inhabitants. When Ryohei falls asleep, exhausted, Josuke and Tomoko have a discussion about his father. Although Tomoko is still attached to Joseph, Josuke prefers to look up to his grandfather.

The next day, Jotaro has investigated about Anjuro Katagiri, and deduces that his powers are water-based. Worried, he looks at the incoming rain clouds. Meanwhile, Katagiri has followed Josuke home and unleashes his Stand, Aqua Necklace. Tomoko unwittingly drinks the Stand, but Josuke saves her by having his own Stand punch through her, trapping Aqua Necklace in a bottle and still healing his mother. Tomoko then leaves to go to Trattoria Trussardi, a new Italian restaurant. Josuke calls Jotaro for aid and later goes to prepare the bath. However, in Josuke's absence, Aqua Necklace tricks Ryohei into drinking the bottle by changing its color to appear as alcohol. Josuke and Jotaro are too late to save Ryohei, and they can only mourn him for a brief moment before the enemy attacks them again.

Aqua Necklace has opened all the taps of the house and even started to boil water. Despite their powers, the water Stand is too elusive to fight directly. Thus, Josuke secretly swallows a glove and tricks the enemy into entering his mouth, trapping him. Confronting Katagiri, Josuke then traps him forever inside a rock.

At the same time, the mysterious teen feels that his ally has been defeated, and prepares for the incoming battle.

Josuke against the Nijimura Brothers
Later, Josuke prepares himself for Ryohei's funeral, which prompts Tomoko to recall the unsolved murder of a high school girl and praise her father as a pillar of Morioh's community. During the funeral, Josuke spots the mysterious teen who smiles at him. Suspicious, he and Koichi follow him up to a derelict mansion, the property of the Nijimura family. One new foe, Okuyasu Nijimura, attacks Josuke while the mysterious teen, revealed as the big brother Keicho Nijimura, shoots Koichi with the bow.

Josuke fights Okuyasu, a dangerous enemy whose Stand, The Hand, can erase anything its right hand touches and even teleport objects by erasing the space between them. Nonetheless, Okuyasu is quickly dispatched when he teleports a statue into his face and is knocked out.

Meanwhile, Keicho has dragged the wounded Koichi inside the house. Josuke follows him and confronts him, but is then suddenly attacked. While Josuke avoids the attack, the returning Okuyasu gets his whole face pierced. Josuke retreats while Keicho disappears further inside his mansion.

Josuke heals Okuyasu, who realizes the nobility of his foe. In gratitude for healing him, Okuyasu uses his power to teleport Koichi, allowing Josuke to save him. Nonetheless, Okuyasu steps aside for the remainder of the battle.

Josuke and Koichi then explore the mansion and are attacked by a whole army of miniature soldiers, helicopters, and tanks, which are collectively Keicho's Stand, Bad Company. While Josuke is slowly but surely overwhelmed by the onslaught of attacks, Keicho expresses his interest for Koichi who's survived the arrow and must have had gained a Stand. Unfortunately, his powers presents itself as a mere big egg. Disappointed, Keicho moves in to finish off both but the egg hatches, revealing the real Stand, which is still powerless to stop Keicho. Nonetheless, the distraction has allowed Josuke to repair some missiles which he throws back at Keicho, defeating him.

Wanting to destroy the Bow and Arrow, Josuke and Koichi explore the attic of the mansion, only to discover a chained monster. Reappearing with the bow, Keicho explains that the monster is his own father, transformed into an immortal abomination, and that he seeks a way to grant his father death. Nonetheless, Josuke repairs the pieces of a photograph of the Nijimura family, which the monster takes and holds dearly, demonstrating that a lingering trace of Keicho's father remains.

Stupefied, Keicho is speechless when Josuke offers his help to find a way of healing his father. But even with Okuyasu's insistence, he refuses to hand the Bow and Arrow, considering he's gone too far to step down.

Suddenly, a new foe appears. A miniature tank leaps through the window and attacks Okuyasu. Keicho jumps to throw his brother aside and dies when the tank explodes.

Okuyasu mourns his brother, and Josuke meets again with Jotaro, swearing to continue his grandfather's work of protecting the town. Josuke, Koichi and Okuyasu then become friends and comrade in arms.

The POV suddenly switches to a house, somewhere in Morioh. The camera then pans over several objets: a cupboard full of 3rd place trophies,, and a holding the Arrow.

Production
Les rumeurs initiales en Juillet 2016 qu'une adaptation cinématographique de  était en production ont commencé à circuler mais il n'y a une aucune confirmation officielle pour valider l'authenticité des revendications. Finalement, le 28 septembre 2016, lors d'un évènement pour promouvoir JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, l'existence d'une adaptation de  a été révélée au public. Le producteur de Tokyo Broadcasting System Takashi Hirano a expliqué que l'équipe avait décidé d'adapter l'intrigue de la quatrième partie du manga car elle met en scène un protagoniste japonais dans un cadre japonais. Il a ensuite précisé que la nature cosmopolite du manga offre une chance au cinéma japonais de s'étendre à travers le monde, en incluant des acteurs d'une partie particulière (comme les personnages anglais ou italiens) qui seraient joués par des acteurs d'une nationalité appropriée.

En ce qui concerne le sous-titre du film, " Chapitre I", Hirano a expliqué qu'en raison de la complexité de l'intrigue et des personnages de la partie 4, il serait impossible d'adapter l'intégralité de la partie en un film de deux heures. Hirano a ensuite déclaré que si le film était un succès commercial, il aimerait adapter le reste de la quatrième partie en plusieurs films. Le réalisateur Takashi Miike a choisi la ville espagnole de comme lieu de tournage après avoir étudié les différentes possibilités à travers le monde entier. Il a reconnu que le cadre du manga original est vaguement basé sur la ville japonaise réelle de Sendai, mais a déterminé que Sitges était la ville qui correspondait le mieux au cadre fictif de Morioh.

Selon la préface de Takashii Miike pour le fanbook français "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure : le diamant incassable du manga", Araki rendu visite une fois au plateaux de production, aurait observé les acteurs et les aurait encouragés. Araki aurait également dit à Takashi Miike que "chaque film appartient au réalisateur" et qu'il lui donnait sa permission pour ignorer des éléments du manga original. Pendant le montage, Miike aurait demandé à Araki de revoir le film à plusieurs reprises et lui a également demandé de superviser le design, les couleurs et les mouvements des Stands.

Reception
Le film a été présenté en avant-première lors du Festival international du film fantastique de Neuchâtel 2017 où il a remporté le prix du public RTS. .

Le 4 août 2017, il est sorti sur 325 écrans à l'échelle nationale au Japon, et a débuté avec une recette de 166 millions de yens. Son week-end d'ouverture a attiré 164 496 personnes et a finalement rapporté 226,316 millions de yens.

Selon Takashi Miike, Araki lui a personnellement dit que "C'est un film merveilleux, il est très intéressant à regarder". Miike soupçonne également qu'Araki n'a pas aimé certains détails mais qu'il aurait préféré ne pas en parler.

Message from Takashi Miike
"First of all, as someone who's Japanese, I want to address my sincere thanks to Mister Frederico Anzalone for taking on this challenge. Araki-sensei's series, "JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure" is a miraculous work of art that has managed to push past society's typical view of manga as a "niche subculture" and achieve the honor of being described as "high art". That said, I’ll let the rest of this book explain what that means exactly. For now, I'd like to focus more on the author of this work, Hirohiko Araki, who I was able to meet during the production of the live-action adaptation.

THE MEETING

Up until now, Araki-sensei would always refuse live movie adaptations for his manga, but this time he was kind enough to allow me to carry out this project. The first task was to hold a meeting to discuss the specifics behind the film's script. Only Araki-sensei's editor and the very tense-looking film producer were in the room at first, but then Araki-Sensei suddenly appeared with a big innocent smile, "Nice to meet you, I am Hirohiko Araki." His voice was soft and he spoke with a certain kindness. He wasn’t trying to impose himself. On the contrary, I could feel his genuine modesty. "JoJo is the celebration of mankind's greatness." His message was a simple but deep one.

DURING THE SHOOTING

Accompanied by his friendly and radiant wife, Araki-Sensei arrived at the set with the same undying smile. He tried to cheer up the young intimidated actors and thoroughly examined how everyone played their roles. Then he left to continue his ongoing work of drawing JoJo. "Every film belongs to its director. Feel free to destroy the original universe if you need to." His words made me shiver.

THE MONTAGE AND ARTISTIC CREATION

I asked Araki-Sensei several times to watch the movie during the editing phase in order to get his honest opinion. He ended up giving me some useful advice from his own perspective. I also asked him to supervise the Stands, particularly their designs, colors, and movements, as they're just as much characters in the movie as their Users. Outside the film's realism and the rhythm of the actors, Araki-Sensei was particularly interested in the way these elements were expressed, as well as the various shades of colors used. His remarks were always insightful and yet, unique. "It really is fascinating to be behind-the-scenes for the making of a film." His innocent smile really left a mark on me.

AT THE PREVIEW

We had reached the end of the preview screening; the credits rolled and the room illuminated. With a heavy heart, I wondered what would be the audience's reaction. I'm a pretty paranoid director, so this moment is always the most terrifying for me.

This is when Araki-sensei addressed me a radiant smile, "It was a wonderful movie, it was really interesting to watch." We toasted and drank wine. I had a feeling he was displeased with certain details, but he never told me them. He had an unconditional kindness and expressed great respect for the work of the team and actors.

"To us! I look forward to making a new movie together!" His beautiful sincere words validated the outcome of our collaboration. This unwavering author knew how to celebrate other's achievements. He himself really was the incarnation of the JoJo universe.

Now then, it’s your turn to discover the beautiful world of Hirohiko Araki!"

Manga/Film Differences

 * Some of the characters in the film (notably Jotaro and Josuke) have had their costume designs simplified and/or changed when compared to their manga counterparts.
 * The film starts off with Anjuro Katagiri murdering a man named Yamashita while Ryohei Higashikata and Morioh's other police break into the house in order to catch him. Anjuro flees the scene and is shot by Keicho Nijimura. He is caught by the policemen but uses his new Stand Aqua Necklace to escape.
 * Koichi Hirose just moved to Morioh three days before the film starts. He is seen unpacking and putting Pink Dark Boy volumes on his shelf as well as a large Pink Dark Boy poster on his wall.
 * Yukako Yamagishi's character appears earlier than in the original material. She gives Koichi a notebook filled with several pages of homework, intimidating him as he has to finish all of it in one day.
 * Ryohei has a lot more prominence in the film, being respected by the people of Morioh. A young adult named Masaya Yoshizawa litters and Ryohei lectures him to throw it out properly. He mentions Masaya quitting his job and lets him know he can call Ryohei whenever he needs help. Aqua Necklace later kills Masaya's friend and then enters Masaya's body, controlling him to become a robber of a convenience store.
 * Josuke Higashikata's confrontation with the street thugs at the beginning takes place in a small alley, as opposed to near the bus stop in front of Koichi Hirose and Jotaro Kujo. Koichi is actually the first to be bullied until Josuke appears, and Jotaro does not arrive until later.
 * Jotaro encounters Koichi after school while he's reading a book and walks in front of Koichi's bike, rather than at the bus station while looking at a map.
 * Angelo's first murder was his father who he hated.
 * Keicho and Angelo are shown interacting together after Keicho shoots him with the Bow and Arrow. They meet at a restaurant with Angelo showing off the power Keicho gave him. Angelo offers to kill Keicho's parents if Keicho hates them but Keicho reacts by shooting at Angelo's side of the table with Bad Company, missing his face on purpose in order to intimidate him. Angelo says he was just joking and leaves, saying he won't oppose Keicho.
 * Okuyasu Nijimura is revealed earlier and teleports Koichi away from Yukako, jealous of him being near a cute girl.
 * Animal cruelty (such as Angelo killing a man's dog) is omitted.
 * Ryohei is shown weight-lifting in order to get stronger to protect Morioh. He drops one of the weights, scaring Josuke into thinking something happened to him.
 * Ryohei is in his civilian clothes rather than in his police uniform when he dies.
 * Jotaro uses his Time Stop at Josuke's house to save him from Aqua Necklace.
 * During Angelo's fight against Josuke, he doesn't try to take a kid hostage or insult Josuke's hair.
 * There is a scene of Keicho and Okuyasu discussing Josuke being the one to defeat Angelo, but Keicho reassures Okuyasu that they're stronger than him.
 * Before Ryohei's funeral, Josuke reads a sketchbook in his room detailing the murders of Reimi Sugimoto and her parents. Her parents are named in the film: Takashi (45) is her father, and Kazuko (39) is her mother.
 * Tomoko tells Josuke how Reimi was Ryohei's source of encouragement and he regret not being able to protect her the most. He was awarded a watch for his 20th year of service but he smashed it against a wall, believing he was a failure of a policeman if he couldn't even save a young girl. Since then, he didn't care for promotion and only aimed to protect his town. Koichi and Josuke's admirers attended his funeral.
 * Keicho appears at the cemetery, presumably at his mother's grave. He smirks when Josuke notices him, leading Josuke to chase him to his house. Koichi follows him because they were worried that he suddenly disappeared.
 * Okuyasu defeats himself because of a statue by his house smashing into his face instead of a flower pot.
 * Echoes hatches into its ACT1 form during the fight against Bad Company, rather than during Koichi's confrontation with Tamami Kobayashi, as the latter is omitted. However, it doesn't manage to do anything except buy Josuke time to activate his plan.
 * DIO is never mentioned in the film, nor is it explained how the body of Father Nijimura became that way.
 * Red Hot Chili Pepper and Akira Otoishi are completely omitted. Instead, Sheer Heart Attack kills Keicho Nijimura, also exploding the Bow and Arrow he was holding rather than it being turned in to the Speedwagon Foundation.

Trivia

 * Selon ses dires, le réalisateur Takashi Miike n'aurait pas fermé l'oeil pendant trois jours après eux eu l'offre de réaliser le film.
 * La première du film s'est passé au Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival (NIFFF, ou Festival International du Film Fantastique de Neuchâtel) en Suisse, le 2 juillet 2017.
