Chapter 267
Jotaro Kujo! Meets Josuke Higashikata (2), originally A Seriously Dangerous Guy in the WSJ release, is the two hundred sixty-seventh chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga. It is also the second chapter of Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable.
Summary
Jotaro reveals some knowledge of Josuke's life, such as his mother's background, Josuke's birthdate in 1983, and the 50 days long fever that afflicted 4-year old Josuke in 1987, before revealing that Josuke's absent father is Joseph Joestar. He introduces himself as Josuke's much older nephew, and explains his business in Morioh- linking Josuke to Joseph's inheritance. Jotaro is surprised by Josuke's modesty and composure at this news.
Jotaro unknowingly enrages Josuke by making an off-hand remark about his hairstyle, prompting the younger of the two to use his mysterious Stand power to attack Jotaro in retaliation. Jotaro counters Josuke, providing Josuke his first evidence of Stands other than his own, though this does not interest him in his angry state. After an exchange of punches Jotaro is shocked to discover that Josuke's Stand appears to be as fast and powerful if not moreso than his own Stand Star Platinum, forcing him to use timestop to end the fight after Josuke breaks Star Platinum's guard (he says, for the first time since fighting DIO, 10 years ago). Jotaro finds his hat slashed by Josuke's Stand's last punch, just before it is magically reset in a malformed way, which Jotaro analyses as Josuke's special ability: To restore and/or change broken objects.
Jotaro punches Josuke with his bare fist, concluding their fight, before showing Josuke a photograph (in the foreground, a face emerging from mist, with a house in the background) while explaining his second purpose in visiting: the looming threat of a paranormal threat, likely a Stand User.

Trivia
- This chapter states that Part III is set in 1987 but each one since chapter 282 uses 1989 as the year DIO died. The artbook Jojo6251 states that it began at the end of 1987 and ended at the begining of 1988.
