Sumário
A história de JoJo está divida em duas continuidades. A primeira incluí as Partes 1 à 6, detalhadas no Weekly Shonen Jump de 1987 à 2003, enquanto a segunda incluí as Partes 7 e, detalhadas na revista seinen Ultra Jump de 2004 até o presente. A trama através dessas é fornecida em arcos de múltiplos capítulos detalhando conflitos precários e melodramáticos entre partidos definidos ambos por poderes sobrenaturais, principalmente pelo versátil fenônemo de Stands, e ambições exclusivas, atitudes ou padrões morais. Esses arcos variam em tom, alternando aventura, suspense, mistério e terror; sempre através de ação, e frequentemente embutida com comédia. Tipicamente, uma corrida emerge dentre os heróis de uma história para interceptar um poderoso antagonista central.

Muitas referências à filmes modernos, televisão, moda, fina arte, e música popular são prontamente identificáveis por todo JoJo em muitos ambientes e tanto em caracterização como na nomenclatura do elenco. Exemplos de teoria física, matemática e psicológica, biologia, tecnologia, mitologia, fenômenos naturais, eventos históricos, e segmentos de outros trabalhos artísticos informam o design e a funcionalidade da abundancia de Stands únicos. A série ocasionalmente faz desenvolvimentos fantasiosos de teoria científica contemporânea na criação das rotas pela qual certos Stands e outros poderes exercem na sua influência na natureza.

Morioh, uma cidade fictícia Japonesa e o local de Diamond is Unbreakable assim como sua encarnação distinta no em andamento JoJolion divide suas coordenadas com a cidade natal de Araki,, assumindo uma mais culturalmente detalhada descrição e referenciando tópicos mais contemporâneos (como o ) que outros locais. Adicionalmente, mangaka o úsuario de Stand Rohan Kishibe, um moraodr de Morioh introduzido em Diamond is Unbreakable, retorno como um guia em um número de spin-offs de Jojo.

Quando perguntado em 2006 para descrever o tópico de JoJo em uma frase, Hirohiko Araki respondeu o enigma de seres humanos e um panegírico [ao] humano; e sua atitude em relação ao mangá, "a salvação do coração". Os temas no texto do mangá podem ser condensados em  e.

Continuidade do Universo Original
A primeira continuidade segue uma contenda intergeracional entre a Família Joestar e várias forças do mal, da qual a mais prominente é Dio Brando e seus seguidores.

The first part Phantom Blood, set in England in 1880, follows Jonathan Joestar as he matures with and eventually combats his adoptive brother, the cunning, merciless Dio Brando who becomes a Vampire with the help of an ancient Stone Mask. Jonathan is trained by Will Anthonio Zeppeli in the vibrant energy of the Ripple, wielded in the human body and transferred in hand-to-hand combat, which is the only sure way apart from sunlight of defeating Vampires and their Zombie minions.

Battle Tendency
The second part Battle Tendency sees Jonathan's grandson Joseph Joestar crossing the world in the days leading up to the Second World War in 1938 to combat the Pillar Men, an ancient race of hostile beings responsible for the creation of the Stone Mask. Like his grandfather, Joseph undergoes strenuous Ripple training alongside Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli, Will's grandson, by the secretive Lisa Lisa and tries to protect the Red Stone of Aja, a gem sought by the Pillar Men to complete the Stone Mask and grant them immunity to the Sun.

Stardust Crusaders
The third part Stardust Crusaders is set during 1988-1989 as Joseph's grandson Jotaro Kujo journeys along with Joseph, Muhammad Avdol, Noriaki Kakyoin, Jean Pierre Polnareff, and Iggy from Tokyo to Cairo in order to fight DIO who has returned from the depths of the sea and save his mother from DIO's mystical influence. From now on allies and villains alike primarily use Stands, a usually humanoid representation of the person's spirit, which has become one of the series' most prominent features.

The three first parts constitute a trilogy after which Hirohiko Araki intended to end the series, but JoJo's Bizarre Adventure continued nonetheless after the end of the third part.

Diamond is Unbreakable
The fourth part Diamond is Unbreakable is set in the fictional town of Morioh, Japan, in 1999. It follows Joseph's illegitimate son Josuke Higashikata as he meets friends and enemies among a host of new Stand users within the population of Morioh created with the Bow and Arrow, two items which gave DIO his Stand. He, Okuyasu Nijimura, Koichi Hirose, Jotaro Kujo, and Rohan Kishibe eventually chase the serial killer Yoshikage Kira.

Vento Aureo
In the fifth part Vento Aureo, set in Italy 2001, DIO's son Giorno Giovanna fights his way to the top of Passione, the most powerful gang in Italy, as he plots to overthrow the gang's mysterious Boss in order to protect the civilian populace from the gang's drug trade. To do so he cooperates with gang member Bruno Bucciarati and his own team of Leone Abbacchio, Guido Mista, Narancia Ghirga, and Pannacotta Fugo as they are tasked with protecting the Boss' daughter Trish Una from the assassin teams Squadra Esecuzioni and Unità Speciale.

Stone Ocean
The sixth part, Stone Ocean, is set in 2011 as Jotaro's estranged daughter Jolyne Cujoh is framed for murder and imprisoned in Green Dolphin Street Prison. Jotaro then has both his memories and Stand stolen by the Stand Whitesnake after an attempt to free Jolyne. She then decides to stay imprisoned in order to find out both who Whitesnake's user is and what he plans to do with Jotaro's memories and Stand. Along her adventure, Jolyne gains allies in Emporio Alnino, Ermes Costello, Foo Fighters, Narciso Anasui, and Weather Report.

Steel Ball Run
Set in 1890 in the United States, Steel Ball Run follows a race across the continent of the United States of America. The race is called the Steel Ball Run horse-race and is named after the sponsor, Steven Steel. The protagonists are Gyro Zeppeli, a master of the unique Spin technique seeking the cash prize and Johnny Joestar a paraplegic ex-jockey seeking to cure his legs through the Spin, both cooperating to win the race. Johnny and Gyro discover that the race is a cover-up from the President Funny Valentine to uncover the powerful and invaluable relics of Jesus Christ, eventually also hunting for said relics while fending off Valentine's many agents.

JoJolion
Leaping to 2011 in JoJolion, university student Yasuho Hirose discovers an amnesiac man tentatively named "Josuke" in Morioh after the (then-contemporary) Great East Japan earthquake. Both then decide to investigate Josuke's past identity, initially thought to be that of the ship's doctor Yoshikage Kira, and the circumstances of his presence in town, leaving him in the care of the affluent Higashikata Family as both uncover the family's darkest secrets and a drug trade involving a mysterious race of humanoid beings and an equally mysterious fruit.

The second continuity features many nods to characters of the former continuity including restyled main characters, Stands and locations.

Making-of
When he first conceived JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Araki was throwing around several core ideas he wanted to portray such as an idea of succession between generations, but also to show travelling heroes. From there he began to set up his ideas for Phantom Blood. Araki notes that the process of creating JoJo went from fight to a more spiritual aspect, and that concepts like friendships took a greater place over time. Araki had several themes in mind too, such as the idea of "mystery", and notably the mystery coming from bloodlines. He also asked himself "Who is the strongest person in the world?" and derived from this question themes such as immortality, seeking life, or justice. More importantly, Araki felt that he could create something unique among the current series at Weekly Shonen Jump with these ideas. Araki had initially only planned for three parts, but decided to continue with his series.

Writing JoJo
Araki gives precedence to emotion and inner thought over plot structure, trying to portray the protagonists' destiny.

Araki follows a particular narrative style called the "golden road", characterized by strong and determined protagonists who constantly advance towards their objectives. This "golden road" is, according to him, the best way to draw in the audience. One example of his "golden road" is the plot of Stardust Crusaders during which the heroes always manage to defeat the enemies on their paths and inexorably approach Egypt. Araki is not avert to killing off his protagonists like Jonathan Joestar but feels that if the death served a greater purpose then he still abides by the "golden road". Araki thinks the basic plot of his parts around a particular predicament and likes to throw his protagonist quickly into said predicament before continuing off his story from there (e.g. Johnny Joestar is paraplegic and wants to find a way to heal his legs). Araki also use a rather original plot structure for the series. Instead of the classical "tournament" format of most other series at the time where the heroes fought enemies in a predictable increasing order of strength, Araki adopted a sugoroku style (sugoroku is a table-top game similar to snakes and ladders) where the heroes would travel and then meet enemies at particular points in said journey and the fights would be more varied due to a better variety of powers, and an emphasis on wit rather than force. Araki also denounces the long-term limitations of always increasing the strength of enemies in a serialized manga.

Araki takes inspiration from a variety of sources to write his series. He has confirmed several times that he uses Western music to name his characters, but also copies designs from varied sources such as artbooks, comic books, the news, or movies. Araki extensively uses books rather than online research. One lesser known aspect of his research is that he often travels to the places he depicts in the series in order to have a better feeling of the place and gather details that an online research wouldn't give. His first tanto Ryosuke Kabashima encouraged him to see movies for inspiration and also travel. Kabashima notably coerced Araki into travelling to Egypt to later depict it in Stardust Crusaders. Araki would later on keep this habit and went to Italy for Vento Aureo and went to a correctional facility in Florida too to get inspiration for Green Dolphin Street Prison, as well as Orlando. He also went on several long journeys in the USA and Japan to better write Steel Ball Run too. His habit of travelling to research places extended to individual buildings such as a hospital or a drug store.

Araki makes it a point to never rest on his laurels and always find new ideas. For instance, Araki was displeased to think he had reached a summit with Stone Ocean in terms of idea and had decided to erase the original continuity and revisit his old ideas in a second continuity. His will to always change is also notable on his art (though he explains it as avoiding drawing old art rather than deliberately change). Araki's art style has changed considerably over the years, although he had always kept core ideas about his art such as his dramatic poses and representation of an ideal human body. For instance, muscle-bound heroes were popular in the 80s so Araki drew these types of characters (e.g. Jonathan), but as trend changes, Araki transitioned to more normal-looking characters like Giorno, a slimmer pretty boy character type. The unusual sound effects Araki inserts in his page are inspired from horror movies and rock music, akin to scare chords and other noises produced by synthetizers and mellotrons.

During its publication in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, Araki continuously tried to push for unique ideas, often infringing on what was considered acceptable for the magazine. Araki notably decided to make his first protagonist a foreigner and then kill him off to replace him, which was a taboo. Araki also had tried to write female protagonists for the series, with notably Giorno Giovanna being initially thought as a young woman. This would be eventually portrayed with Jolyne Cujoh, whose sex he insisted on despite his editor's requests. Araki notably thought that it was then acceptable to portray women being subjected to violence as intense as male characters were being exposed to. It led to several conflict with the editorial team who tried to tone down the violence and themes Araki wanted to write about.

When Araki creates a character, he thoroughly completes a datasheet about said character, which includes their physical characteristics, their tastes, and background information like a potential family. Araki notes that his habit of naming characters after bands and albums is a simple hobby, and a way to pay his respect to the musicians he likes.

During his time at the Weekly Shonen Jump, Araki had the following schedule: Sundays were spent finding ideas, Mondays were spent making the draft storyboard for the chapter. He then met with his editor and began drawing more elaborate sketches, one page at a time. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were spent finishing drawing the chapter for the publication of the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, and Friday and Satudary were spent resting. This schedule that Araki followed strictly was set up by Kabashima too. This notably allowed Araki to keep in shape, and he was also noted as being always on time for his chapters. His currently monthly schedule seems to have stayed the same as his weekly schedule, with Fridays and Saturdays off. Araki adds that he wakes up at 10 AM, begins working at 11 AM, takes a break at noon, and finishes his work day at 12 PM. Araki says that his current 45 pages a month match his natural pace better. Thanks to his strict schedule, Araki has never missed a deadline in his career.
