The opening begins with a pedestal shot of a stone statue striking a dramatic pose (reminiscent of [[Giorno Giovanna]]'s pose on the [[Volume 62]] cover), surrounded by a crimson scarf and a chain. Positioned behind its legs is a [[Rolling Stones|boulder]] in the form of [[Bruno Bucciarati]]. The scene then transitions to chains being pulled upward by an [[Bow and Arrow|Arrow]], accompanied by flashes of the letters "J", "O", and "JO", leading to the reveal of the title.
[[File:JOJO OP8 Illustration 1.gif|thumb|270px|The logo appears]]
A bleeding hand is shown, with blood dripping onto the ground. Chains emerge from the puddles, encircling Giorno, who adopts a defensive stance but maintains a determined gaze. Rose petals pass by, turning him into a silhouette of himself. The scene shifts to [[Guido Mista]] running into the light. Surrounded by chains, he draws his revolver, ready to fire. He too turns into a silhouette as the camera zooms into the barrel. The rifling transforms into a spiral of chains, in the middle of which [[Trish Una]] helplessly falls, her expression apathetic. She fades into a silhouette before falling out of the frame when the chains shatter.
The scene then cuts to a stone head of [[Leone Abbacchio]]'s former [[Abbacchio's Partner|partner]] hitting the ground and crumbling into sand, which then flows into and out of Abbacchio's hands. Abbacchio is shown inside an hourglass (framed by a pattern from a [[King Crimson|specific Stand]]), with his feet sinking into the sand. The camera pans to the other side, revealing his silhouetted double, burdened by chains flowing upside-down from the hourglass's neck. The camera zooms into his hands before multiple chains shoot past, showing interposed shots of [[Narancia Ghirga]] framed within chain links under varying lighting, until his full silhouette is seen from behind, staring off with the wind blowing.

A bleeding hand appears, the blood dripping onto the floor before chains sprout forth from the puddles and surround [[Giorno Giovanna|Giorno]], who keeps a defensive pose, but a determined gaze. Rose petals fly past him, turning him into a silhouette of himself. The scene changes to [[Guido Mista|Mista]] running into the light. Surrounded by the chains, the gunslinger draws his revolver, prepared to shoot. He too turns into a silhouette before the camera zooms into the barrel. The rifling suddenly transforms into a spiral of chains, in the middle of which [[Trish Una|Trish]] helplessly falls, her face apathetic. She fades into her silhouette before she falls out of the frame and the chains shatter. The scene cuts to a stone head of [[Leone Abbacchio|Abbacchio]]'s former [[Abbacchio's Partner|partner]] hitting the ground and turning into sand, the same sand which flows into and out of Abbacchio's hands. Abbacchio finds himself in a hourglass (framed by a pattern featured on a [[King Crimson|certain Stand]]), revealing his feet sinking into the sand while the camera pans to reveal the other side, his silhouetted double burdened by a mass of chains flowing upside-down into its hands from the hourglass' neck where the stream of sand would be coming in. The camera zooms towards his hands before multiple chains zoom forward past the camera, revealing multiple interposed shots of [[Narancia Ghirga|Narancia]] framed inside chain links with different lighting until his full silhouette is seen from the back staring away with the wind blowing. The scene cuts to a symmetrical shot of [[Pannacotta Fugo|Fugo]], the screen slit in a [[Man in the Mirror and Purple Haze (Story Arc)|mirrored fashion]] as he turns to look at the camera before leaning back, before his silhouetted face emerges and lunges back. Cue another chain link transitioning into [[Bruno Bucciarati|Bruno]] walking with resolve among the chains and a blocky wall to his right, as well as [[The Requiem Quietly Plays (Story Arc)|a small sun rotating behind his head]], submerging him in shadow and gradually silhouetting his body. Suddenly, the silhouettes fade to reveal the members of [[Team Bucciarati]], save Mista, who all summon their [[Stand]]s. Cut to a black and white scene where a bloodied hand (possibly Giorno's from the beginning) taps the chains and recoils as they turn into green vines, and the background becomes stark white.
The next shot features a symmetrical view of [[Pannacotta Fugo]], the screen split in a [[Man in the Mirror and Purple Haze (Story Arc)|mirrored fashion]]. Fugo turns to face the camera, leaning back as his silhouetted face lunges forward. The scene transitions through a chain link to show Bucciarati walking resolutely amidst chains and a polygonal wall to his right. A small sun rotates behind his head, casting him in shadow and gradually turning his body into a silhouette. The silhouette then fades, revealing the members of [[Team Bucciarati]] summoning their [[Stand]]s. A black and white shot follows, showing Giorno's bloodied hand tapping the chains, which then turn into green vines as the background shifts to stark white.
A series of attacking animations commences for each member of the gang: Giorno summons [[Gold Experience]] who pummels the camera, Mista shoots a bullet which [[Sex Pistols]] kicks into a different direction, Abbacchio uses [[Moody Blues]] to rewind the scene and change the background to a red tunnel that resembles a gun's scope, [[Aerosmith]] comes in performing a loop, then shoots bullets identical to Bucciarati's spoon-like symbols into the camera before landing on Narancia's arms, Fugo summons [[Purple Haze]] who bumps its fists together and releases a thick cloud of its virus, and Bruno summons [[Sticky Fingers]], who jumps out of a zipper and pummels the camera in turn.

Sticky Fingers opens a zipper revealing a panning shot of [[Diavolo|a figure]] in a fetal position draped in a cloth among floating rose petals. The figure is revealed to be Trish, under different coloring, who turns and looks into the light. Cut to a scene where all the members of the gang firmly gaze at the light before they all follow Bucciarati towards it, in the foreground, the vines revert back into chains and three of the six chains are broken as the path to the light opens up for the characters to thread on. The opening ends of a shot of ''Vento Aureo'''s symbol in the trademark checkered background of the series.

Sticky Fingers opens a zipper, revealing a panning shot of [[Diavolo|a figure]] in a fetal position, draped in a cloth, surrounded by floating rose petals.

In the foreground, the vines revert to chains, with three of the six chains broken as the path to the light opens for the characters to walk upon. The opening concludes with a shot of ''[[Vento Aureo]]'''s symbol against the series' trademark checkered background.

*This is the only opening so far to not feature a variant with sound effects.
*The trio of Bucciarati, Abbacchio, and Narancia being surrounded by chains, foreshadows their roles as the "[[Sleeping Slaves (Story Arc)|Sleeping Slaves]]" whose fates are already decided and known before the story even begins. This is further solidified with the Stand [[Rolling Stones]] appearing for a brief moment at the beginning of the opening, with Bucciarati's face on it.

The opening begins with a pedestal shot of a stone statue striking a dramatic pose (reminiscent of Giorno Giovanna's pose on the Volume 62 cover), surrounded by a crimson scarf and a chain. Positioned behind its legs is a boulder in the form of Bruno Bucciarati. The scene then transitions to chains being pulled upward by an Arrow, accompanied by flashes of the letters "J", "O", and "JO", leading to the reveal of the title.
