Chapter 268

'''Jotaro Kujo! Meets Josuke Higashikata (3)' is the two-hundred-sixty-eighth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' manga. It is also the third chapter of Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable.

Summary
Jotaro warns Josuke to watch out for a man who is in the picture, and tells him that he should only use his Stand ability when necessary. He hopes that the man in the picture has no connection to Josuke, because the man is a very dangerous criminal, by the name of Anjuro Katagiri. Anjuro was hanged, but he remained alive for 20 minutes after his heart stopped beating. He escaped two weeks later, and Jotaro thinks that he was already a Stand user or became one after being sentenced to death.

Elsewhere, a woman is being harassed by a man in a car. She smashes his face against the door. The man tries to report it to a passing police officer, demanding that he arrest her. The officer refuses, telling the man that the woman is his daughter. She is revealed to be Tomoko Higashikata, Josuke's mother, as she expresses her concern for him.

Josuke is with Koichi, trying to get through a crowd outside of a convenience store. There are police officers holding the crowd back. There was a robbery in the convenience store, and the robber took a female clerk as a hostage. The robber emerges from the store with his hostage, and demands a car. Josuke is standing by the car, and the robber insults his hair, antagonising him. Josuke attacks the robber by using his Stand to punch through both him and the woman, grabbing the knife as he does. He leaves the knife inside of the man when he heals them, and a Stand emerges from the man's body before sliding into the sewer.
