Em 26 de Abril de 2021, a primeira temporada foi disponibilizada pela Netflix do Brasil.[2] Em 23 de Junho de 2021, a dublagem em português do Brasil foi ao ar em todos os episódios disponíveis na Netflix,[3] com as vozes de Wendel Bezerra e Guilherme Briggs como Jonathan Joestar e Joseph Joestar, respectivamente.
O inglês George Joestar erroneamente assume que Dario Brando salvou sua vida durante um acidente de carruagem e decide adotar seu filho, Dio. Herdeiro da propriedade Joestar, Jonathan Joestar, tenta fazer amizade com Dio, mas o plano de Dio desde o início é levar JoJo à loucura e ganhar a confiança de George para que ele possa se tornar o herdeiro da fortuna Joestar. Dio bate violentamente em JoJo em uma luta de boxe, vira seus amigos contra ele, rouba o primeiro beijo de sua namorada Erina e até mesmo queima seu cachorro Danny até a morte em um incinerador.
Sete anos se passaram desde que Dio chegou a Mansão Joestar. George é mostrado doente na cama. No início, pensava-se que fosse um resfriado comum, mas parece estar piorando. Jonathan descobre que Dio matou o próprio pai, Dario, e está tentando usar o mesmo veneno para matar George. Após enfrentar Dio, Jonathan vai para Londres em busca da origem do veneno sem saber o que o espera lá.
Tendo encontrado um antídoto e dado a seu pai, JoJo se prepara para entregar Dio à polícia. Dio tenta baixar a guarda de JoJo dizendo que vai se entregar, mas Speedwagon, que seguiu JoJo desde Londres, vê através das mentiras de Dio, apresentando o farmacêutico que vendeu o veneno a Dio, enquanto George revela que ouviu tudo. Enquanto JoJo tenta algemar Dio, Dio tenta esfaqueá-lo, atingindo apenas George, que entrou no caminho para proteger JoJo. Com o sangue de George, ele ativa a Máscara de Pedra em si mesmo antes que a polícia atire nele. Antes de George morrer, ele diz a seu filho para não culpar Dio, dizendo que foi sua culpa por não ter sido capaz de ver através da traição anterior de Dio e pede desculpas por ter sido muito duro com seu filho. Só então, Dio volta à vida como um vampiro, provando ser invencível a armas de fogo e drenando o sangue de um dos policiais. Enquanto JoJo se prepara para lutar contra Dio, acreditando que pode derrotá-lo destruindo seu cérebro, o policial se reanima como um zumbi, embora JoJo consiga matá-lo rapidamente. Como várias tentativas de matar Dio falham, JoJo incendeia a mansão e leva Dio ao telhado para que Speedwagon possa escapar. JoJo tenta matar Dio com um ataque suicida, arrastando-o para as chamas da mansão com ele e consegue usar o layout da mansão para pousar com segurança e empalar Dio em uma estátua, supondo que ele tenha sido morto. Wang Chan mais tarde tenta salvar a máscara das ruínas queimadas, mas a mão carbonizada de Dio emerge e drena seu sangue.
Com a batalha entre ele e Dio acabada, Jonathan passa seus dias seguintes com seu romance de infância de muito tempo atrás, Erina, que voltou para cuidar de seus ferimentos. Enquanto os dois estão passeando, um homem estranho chamado Will Anthonio Zeppeli aparece e cura o braço quebrado de Jonathan. Ele avisa Jonathan que Dio ainda está vivo e a única maneira de derrotar a ele e a Máscara de Pedra é através de uma velha técnica de luta conhecida como "Hamon". Zeppeli passa os próximos dias treinando Jonathan e logo depois Jonathan, Zeppeli e Speedwagon partem em sua jornada para a cidade de Windknight's Lot, onde Dio está. Na estrada, o grupo encontra Jac, o Estripador, que foi transformado em um zumbi e em um servo fiel de Dio. Com a ajuda de Zeppeli, Jonathan consegue descobrir o segredo do Overdrive do Hamon e derrotar Jack.
Ao chegar em Windknights Lot, o grupo de JoJo é roubado por um jovem talentoso chamado Poco, que JoJo e Zeppeli conseguem capturar usando seus poderes de Hamon. No entanto, quando o sol se põe, eles são confrontados por Dio, que hipnotizou Poco para atrair o grupo de JoJo para o cemitério, onde são atacados por sua legião de zumbis. Zeppeli tenta usar seus ataques Hamon em Dio, mas Dio se defende congelando suas veias. Jonathan tenta uma defesa rápida, mas tanto ele quanto Zeppeli são derrotados facilmente. Dio então convoca os dois lendários Cavaleiros das Trevas mortos-vivos, Tarkus e Bruford para terminar o trabalho. Dio permite que Bruford solte Jonathan e os dois iniciam a batalha.
Depois de mal ter conseguido evitar o Overdrive subaquático de JoJo, Bruford enlaça JoJo com seu cabelo mais uma vez. No entanto, JoJo consegue bloquear o ataque de Bruford e canaliza um Overdrive através de um chute na espada de Bruford, que faz com que um de seus braços se desintegre. A partir daqui, Jonathan é capaz de escapar e desencadeia um Sunlight Yellow Overdrive contra ele. Quando o corpo de Bruford começa a se desintegrar, ele recupera sua alma humana, sentindo-se em paz e deixando a JoJo sua espada antes de se desintegrar completamente. Tarkus então ataca, mas JoJo e Zeppeli conseguem colocar Speedwagon e Poco em segurança usando um monte de folhas como asa-delta. Enquanto eles fogem, Zeppeli se lembra de como aprendeu a controlar o Hamon com um homem chamado Tonpetty. Tarkus salta atrás deles, fazendo-os pousar no campo de treinamento de cavaleiros. Tarkus consegue se chocar contra uma das paredes externas e entra no campo de treinamento primeiro. JoJo é puxado para dentro da sala, empurrando-o para uma partida mortal de correntes de pescoço, no qual um deve decapitar o outro para se libertar. Percebendo que JoJo será morto se ninguém fizer nada, Poco supera seus nervosismo e entra na sala através de uma janela, conseguindo destrancar a porta para que Zeppeli possa entrar.
Zeppeli lembra como Tonpetty predisse onde sua morte aconteceria; a descrição se ajusta ao próprio lugar em que ele está naquele momento. Sabendo disso, Zeppeli luta contra Tarkus com a intenção de encontrar uma maneira de libertar JoJo. No entanto, Tarkus o enlaça com uma corrente e divide seu corpo em dois. Usando o que resta de sua força, Zeppeli transfere o que resta de sua energia de Hamon para Jonathan, permitindo-lhe curar seus ferimentos, se libertar de suas correntes e derrotar Tarkus facilmente. Após a batalha, Zeppeli diz a JoJo que ele aceitou seu destino e passou sua vontade para ele antes de morrer. Enquanto JoJo, Speedwagon e Poco voltam para Windknights Lot, eles encontram o Sr. Adams, um dos aldeões que a princípio reage amigavelmente à chegada deles, mas seu desejo por sangue revela sua verdadeira natureza como um zumbi. Ele ataca Poco com sua língua, mas Jonathan o derrota facilmente pegando sua língua e pisando em seu rosto usando o Hamon. Um momento depois, um estranho ataca Jonathan com um chute que restringe seus braços. Jonathan, surpreso a princípio, consegue escapar contra-atacando com uma cabeçada. Antes da batalha continuar, o estranho confessa que é humano e só queria testar o poder de Jonathan. Ele se apresenta como Dire, um amigo de Zeppeli e um usuário de Hamon. Straizo, outro aluno, faz sua entrada e logo depois dele, Mestre Tonpetty. Junto com seus alunos, ele se junta a JoJo em sua jornada. Enquanto isso, é revelado que a irmã de Poco foi sequestrada por Dio.
Depois de derrotar o monstro Doobie e salvar a irmã de Poco, Jonathan sobe as escadas e chega à sala final onde Dio o espera. Jonathan desafia Dio para uma partida final para vingar a morte de seus amigos. No entanto Dire empurra Jonathan para fora do caminho e desafia Dio, mas é morto depois que Dio congela suas pernas e o estilhaça. A cabeça de Dire consegue sobreviver e lança uma rosa com infusão de Hamon, empalando Dio em seu olho direito. Isso dá uma ideia a Jonathan; a fim de combater o congelamento de Dio pela técnica de contato, Jonathan infunde a espada que ele havia recebido antes, Luck & Pluck, com Hamon. Quando a batalha começa, Jonathan corta o braço de Dio e o corta ao meio. Dio consegue quebrar Luck & Pluck depois de congelar o braço de Jonathan e os dois lançam um ataque final um ao outro. O Overdrive de punho duplo de Jonathan é bem-sucedido e Dio cai da saliência e lentamente derrete.
Quando Dio cai após sua batalha com JoJo, ele se decapita antes que o Hamon alcance sua cabeça, que é recuperada por seu servo zumbi Wang Chan. Enquanto isso, com a Máscara de Pedra destruída, JoJo se casa com Erina e eles partem em lua-de-mel para a América em um cruzeiro pelo Oceano Atlântico. Enquanto JoJo e Erina desfrutam do cruzeiro, JoJo descobre que Wang Chan se esgueirou a bordo, o que significa que Dio ainda está vivo. Quando JoJo fica cara a cara com Dio, que quer que seu corpo substitua o seu, Erina entra em cena no momento em que JoJo recebe um ataque quase fatal no pescoço. Enquanto isso, o navio começa encher de zumbis depois que Wang Chan espalha a infecção. Usando a última energia Hamon que tem, JoJo consegue decapitar Wang Chan, fazendo seu corpo obstruir um pedaço do mecanismo do navio de cruzeiro, colocando o navio em um caminho à explosão. Enquanto Erina decide morrer ao lado de JoJo, JoJo diz a ela para viver, para que assim possa proteger um bebê cuja mãe foi morta. Quando o navio começa a explodir, Dio realiza a última tentativa de tirar o corpo de JoJo, mas JoJo o impede, morrendo com a cabeça de Dio em seus braços, enquanto Erina e o bebê se escondem no caixão à prova de explosão de Dio para se protegerem. Erina acaba sendo resgatada perto das Ilhas Canárias um dia depois, e jura passar adiante a verdade sobre o que aconteceu naquela noite, 8 de Fevereiro de 1888, através das gerações, começando com a criança que ela concebeu com JoJo antes de sua morte prematura.
It's been 49 years after Jonathan Joestar's death, and a much older looking Speedwagon and Straizo travel to Mexico to investigate a mysterious underground caverns. There they find it filled with similar Stone Masks to the one that was destroyed many years ago, as well a body integrated into a stone column. Meanwhile, in New York, Jonathan's grandson, Joseph Joestar (also nicknamed "JoJo"), saves a young African-American pick-pocket named Smokey Brown from some corrupt policemen using the Ripple. After saving him, Smokey tags along as Joseph and Erina head to a restaurant. Back in Mexico, Speedwagon is betrayed by Straizo, and presumably killed. Straizo had apparently envied the youth that the Stone Mask had granted Dio and dons one himself. After dealing with a mafia henchman at a restaurant, JoJo, Erina, and Smokey meet a mafia acquaintance of Speedwagon's who informs them that Speedwagon has been murdered by Straizo. Later that day, JoJo is confronted outside a cafe by Straizo, who had regained his youth as a vampire. Straizo plans to kill Joseph before he can unlock the full potential of the Ripple, but Joseph quickly pulls out a Tommy-Gun and promptly blasts Straizo through the cafe window.
As expected, Straizo recovers from Joseph Joestar's attack and uses the same high pressurized blood laser eye attack Dio used. Joseph dodges this attack using a mirror trick prepared in advance and, manages to attack Straizo with the Ripple. Straizo absorbs it using a scarf woven from beetle muscles, but JoJo manages to sneak some grenades onto his person. Despite being blown apart, the vampire pulls himself together. Smokey asks Joseph if he has some plan, but Joseph simply says to run away and does so. Straizo catches up with them in a bridge and takes a woman hostage in order to goad JoJo into facing him. Joseph finishes Straizo off with a punch and sends him flying off the bridge. Joseph grabs his hand and tries to get information out of him, but Straizo warns JoJo about a Pillar Man who will soon awaken before self destructing himself with his own Ripple. Meanwhile, it is revealed Speedwagon is alive and is being held captive in Mexico, where a German military general named Rudol von Stroheim interrogates him about the Pillar Man, which they have excavated from the cave and intend to revive. Meanwhile, JoJo also makes his way to Mexico, unaware that he is being followed by a strange assassin.
Joseph is confronted by one of Stroheim's men, Donovan, but manages to subdue him, learning that Speedwagon is still alive. He sneaks into the Nazi Base after attempting to seduce the guards by dressing as a girl. When that failed, he knocked them out and put on their uniform. Meanwhile, Stroheim manages to awaken the pillar man, naming him Santana, after the winds of Mexico. To test him, Stroheim sends a vampire after Santana, which he absorbs into his body to feed itself. To Stroheim's shock, Santana manages to escape his cell by twisting his body through the air vents and launches himself into the body of one of his men. The possessed Nazi becomes bloated and begins firing bullets from his finger. Just then, Joseph, who had managed to sneak into the base, reveals himself and tears out some of Stroheim's hair. Santana emerges from the body he had taken over and begins firing more bullets from his fingers. Joseph infuses Ripple into Stroheim's hair and throws it into the air, causing them to deflect all the bullets. Joseph removes his coat, revealing the Joestar Birthmark, and confronts Santana.
At first, Joseph attempts to make peace with Santana, but is instead greeted by an attack from Santana's ribs; this almost neutralizes Joseph had he not blocked the attack with his Ripple. Joseph realizes his attacks are not effective, so he feigns unconsciousness, and attacks Santana from the inside after the latter attempted to absorb him. With the Pillar Man in half, Joseph chains the upper portion, and tries to drag Santana to the entrance of the base to destroy the body using the sunlight. Unfortunately, Santana grabs hold of Joseph's leg and immobilizes him just before reaching the door. Stroheim comes from behind to help, but he too is ensnared. Joseph is forced to chop Stroheim's leg off as a request allowing Stroheim to open the door. However, Santana avoids the sunlight by seeping his way into the stub where Stroheim's leg was cut off. Stroheim walks on one leg into the sunlight and pulls out a grenade. From there, he tells Joseph that the Germans had uncovered other Pillar Men in Europe and that he must go to Rome to learn how to defeat them. With that said, Stroheim ignites the grenade and destroys his own body. As a last ditch effort, Santana attacks Joseph and the two go flying into a well. Joseph reveals that the water at the bottom of the well acts as another light source due to its ability to reflect sunlight. Being hit by sunlight in two directions, Santana turns into stone and is defeated.
Speedwagon brings statued remains of Santana to the headquarters of his foundation in Washington, D.C., where it is shown he is still alive, and has scientists keep his body under UV light. Realizing from Stroheim's words that there are three more powerful Pillar Men somewhere in Europe, Speedwagon takes Joseph to Rome to meet Zeppeli's grandson, Caesar, who is also skilled in using the Ripple. As Caesar questions Joseph's abilities, he fights against him using his own Ripple abilities formed from clothes filled with soapy water, encasing Joseph in a bubble, but Joseph manages to break free using a sneak attack. As Caesar makes plans for Joseph and Speedwagon to be taken to see where the Pillar Men are being kept, one of the Pillar Men, Wamuu, breaks free, killing a group of German soldiers and awakening his masters, Kars and Esidisi, a Pillar Man destroys half of Caesar's friend Mark's body simply by bumping into him as he is walking past. As Caesar is forced to use his Ripple to peacefully end Mark's suffering, he vows vengeance against the Pillar Men.
Caesar engages Wamuu in battle for killing Mark, using his Bubble Launcher technique to surround the Pillar Man in Ripple infused bubbles. Once Wamuu realizes he is facing a Ripple user he uses his mysterious headgear to unleash a wind that bursts all of the bubbles. However, his attack is not yet over, as the movement created hundreds of miniature tornadoes that shred Caesar's skin, leaving him incapacitated and temporarily blinded in one eye. His boasts that he need not see to fight the Pillar Men amuses them, as Ripple users of two millennia past said the same things to them before they killed them. Kars and Esidisi head to the surface, allowing Wamuu to finish Caesar off as the only Ripple user left, only for Joseph to make himself known, proclaiming that he has developed his own special Ripple technique using a pair of clackers that he channels the Ripple through. Wamuu allows him to fight, slicing through his wrist to the artery to make the battle last only a minute His first attack, the Ripple Clacker Volley, appears to miss its mark, embedding a steel ball into a pillar behind Wamuu, but this is all part of a ploy to engage his other technique, Clacker Boomerang, where he has thrown another Ripple empowered pair of clackers behind Wamuu, catching onto the original clacker, and actually landing a blow on Wamuu. Angered, Wamuu allows Joseph to continue to strike him with the clackers while he prepares his counter, the Divine Sandstorm. Wamuu claims his attack has been hindered by his eyesight and a pillar blocking Joseph, but Joseph is left barely alive. Playing dead, Joseph tries to run away, seemingly stranding Caesar and Speedwagon, but it is all a ploy to lure Wamuu away before he can kill the others. Joseph takes Wamuu on a mine cart ride through the ruins, intending to use a stick of dynamite to destroy him, but Wamuu anticipates these events and sends them flying, intending to kill Joseph for his insolence. However, Joseph proclaims that he could possibly be even stronger in a month's time, intriguing Wamuu, who decides to let Joseph live to get stronger with the Ripple in only a month, implanting a "Wedding Ring" in Joseph's body around his aorta that will release a deadly poison in 33 days' time, unless Joseph can get the antidote held in his lip piercing by killing him in battle. Esidisi, who has come to see what has been holding Wamuu up, also decides to enter in on the wager (after consuming the stick of dynamite before it explodes), implanting another poison-filled ring around Joseph's windpipe, with the antidote in his own nose piercing. Kars, however, passes on the game, and the Pillar Men leave in search of the Red Stone of Aja, and Joseph passes out from the strain of the battle. Caesar, who has been watching the whole time, realizes Joseph's resolve and promises to also get stronger with him.
Wanting to teach Joseph to control his Ripple powers, Caesar takes him to Venice to meet his teacher, Lisa Lisa. Lisa Lisa orders Joseph to wear a mask that limits his breathing for the duration of his training. To start their training, Lisa Lisa tasks Joseph and Caesar to climb the Hell Climb Pillar, a 24-meter pillar covered in oil, using only the Ripple or else starve to death. Observing Caesar's efforts, Joseph learns to climb up by focusing Ripple energy in his fingertips. As the days pass as they struggle to climb, Joseph assumes there's an easy break when he spots a crack in the pillar, but this turns out to be a trap, causing the pillar to start spewing oil at high pressures from its 20-meter mark. Caesar manages to break through the barrier by using Ripple energy to simultaneously grip the pillar with his feet and repel the barrier, eventually reaching the peak. Joseph eventually manages to get past by travelling across the barrier to its weakest point so he can leap over it. As Joseph ends up running out of breath at the last meter, Caesar helps him up. As Joseph becomes pleased with the results of his training and asks for the next test, Lisa Lisa brings in her servants, Messina and Loggins, to teach them how to master the Ripple over the next few weeks.
Lisa Lisa explains to Joseph and Caesar how the creator of the Stone Mask, Kars, is seeking a gem known as the Red Stone of Aja to power the Stone Mask and become the ultimate life-form. Lisa Lisa reveals she herself possesses this gem which can amplify the power of the Ripple into a powerful beam, saying that it is needed to defeat the Pillar Men. With a week left until the rings inside Joseph dissolve and kill him, Lisa Lisa pits Joseph and Caesar against Loggins and Messina respectively for their final lesson. However, when Joseph reaches his destination, he finds Loggins has been killed by Esidisi. Angered, Joseph decides to confront the Pillar Man over a bed of spikes. Thanks to an intricate trap, Joseph manages to use a wire set-up on Loggins to sever Esidisi's arm. However, Esidisi manages to repair himself by taking Loggins' arm before attacking Joseph with his burning blood. Despite nearly falling for a trap himself, Joseph manages to ensnare Esidisi in conductive wool thread and hit him with the Ripple, managing to destroy him and retrieve his antidote, safely dissolving the ring around his neck. Relieved, Joseph heads back to the castle, unaware that Esidisi's brain is clinging onto his back.
As Joseph awaits to warn Lisa Lisa about the Pillar Men, Esidisi's brain takes over the body of Suzi Q and sends the Super Aja off on a boat bound for Venice before confronting Lisa Lisa. Before Joseph and Caesar can pursue the boat, Esidisi stands in their way, knowing full well they can't kill him without killing Suzi Q as well. As Esidisi prepares to use his boiling blood to kill everyone in the room, Joseph and Caesar combine their Ripple, forcing Esidisi's brain out of Suzi Q without killing her and into the sunlight, where he burns into nothingness. After healing Suzi Q, Lisa Lisa learns from her that the Red Stone has been sent to St. Moritz in Switzerland, where Kars and Wamuu are waiting. Joseph promises Suzi Q that he'll see her again before he, Caesar, Lisa Lisa, and Messina head off to catch up to the mail train bound for Switzerland. Upon catching up to the train at customs, the Germans arrive and claim the Red Stone for themselves, inviting Joseph and the others to join them at their lodge. As Kars appears to attack the lodge, Joseph learns that the leader of the German group is none other than Stroheim, who has since become a cyborg.
Stroheim starts using his new mechanical body, which was designed to surpass Santana, to fight against Kars. However, it proves futile against Kars' blades, which cuts him down to size. As Kars attempts to retrieve the Red Stone, Stroheim fires a beam at him, sending the Red Stone sliding towards a cliff edge, forcing JoJo and Kars to chase after it. JoJo pulls off a trick to grab the Red Stone, but Kars pulls him off the cliff with him. JoJo manages to save himself by using the Red Stone as a shield and prevents his fall with help from Caesar. The next day, Caesar and the others discuss ambushing Kars' hideout before Wamuu arrives, but JoJo objects to it, believing it unwise to fight on their home turf, leading to him and Caesar getting into a fight. Feeling a sense of duty to his grandfather, Caesar decides to go alone, with Messina ordered to follow him, whilst Lisa Lisa explains to JoJo that Caesar has a secret past.
Lisa Lisa tells JoJo of Caesar's childhood, in which he took to crime at a young age after being abandoned by his debt-ridden father, Mario. However, when Caesar turned 16, Caesar came across the wall containing the Pillar Men, which was booby trapped by Kars. Mario saved Caesar from the trap, getting absorbed into the wall, but lived long enough to tell Caesar find Lisa Lisa and learn the Ripple. As Caesar arrives at the hotel, he is attacked by Wamuu, who is using streams of moist air to both protect him from the sunlight and reflect the light around him. Caesar launches an attack on Wamuu after he drags Messina into the hotel, but Wamuu manages to retreat inside the hotel, prompting Caesar to go in after him. Using a series of refractive bubble lenses, Caesar manages to redirect the sunlight inside the hotel to pin down Wamuu. However, Wamuu takes advantage of the split-second the sun is blotted by Caesar's attack to deliver a critical counter attack. Too injured to continue for the fight, Caesar uses the last of his strength to steal the piercing containing the antidote for the ring around JoJo's heart. He then uses his Final Ripple to create a blood bubble to deliver the piercing and his bandana to JoJo before being crushed by the collapsing ceiling. Wamuu, finding Caesar's fight and loyalty to be admirable, allows the bubble to remain. JoJo and Lisa Lisa are attracted to the hotel after Messina does not return, and unknowingly see the light of Caesar's Final Ripple. They discover the state of the hotel, finding the bubble with the antidote and Caesar's scarf, and soon realize that Caesar has died, and weep over the loss of their friend and ally.
Whilst following Wamuu's trail of blood, JoJo and Lisa Lisa encounter another vampire named Wired Beck, but Lisa Lisa manages to defeat him easily. As they press on, JoJo states he will not take the antidote he received until he has beaten Wamuu as a promise to Caesar. They soon arrive before Wamuu, where Kars is also waiting for them, along with a hundred vampire minions. Lisa Lisa manages to hold off their attack with a bluff saying that if both she and JoJo are killed, a time bomb will destroy the Red Stone. Thus, she proposes that JoJo fights against Wamuu whilst she fights against Kars with the Red Stone on the line. Wamuu and Kars arrange a place for the battle at midnight, keeping Lisa Lisa as insurance to make sure JoJo brings the Red Stone. Whilst retrieving the Red Stone, JoJo finds a picture of Erina from fifty years ago, becoming curious as to why Lisa Lisa would have it. Upon meeting at the arena, Lisa Lisa reveals that she was the baby that Erina rescued from the ship that fateful day, further explaining how she was raised by Straizo, who was the one who taught her about the Ripple and gave her the Red Stone. As JoJo and Wamuu's battle is revealed to be a chariot race using vampire horses, JoJo puts on Caesar's bandana and prepares to battle.
Before the match begins, it is revealed that during each lap, there will be a different weapon for whoever can grab it from a pillar first. JoJo manages to get a head-start by obstructing Wamuu's wheels with rubble, allowing him to get a hold of a sledgehammer. However, Wamuu grabs hold of the pillar itself, forcing JoJo to abandon his chariot, though JoJo manages to use the hammer to avoid getting trampled by Wamuu's horses. Wamuu launches an attack on JoJo by hiding in his horse, but JoJo manages to use his cunning to turn his sandstorm attack against him with the Ripple. In order to regain his focus, Wamuu gouges out his own eyes and grows a horn that can sense the wind in its place. As the second lap offers a pair of crossbows, JoJo ends up picking one that is too big for him to use whilst Wamuu uses the wind to guide his shots with the smaller crossbow, managing to hit JoJo's sides with a reflected shot. As he is thrown to the ground, he uses the momentum of the fall to cock his crossbow without the others noticing. JoJo appears cornered, but manages to hit Wamuu with a Ripple-charged shot from his crossbow by distracting his senses with pebbles. Wamuu makes a desperate last attack by firing his severed arms at JoJo to cut off his breathing before gathering up wind for his final attack.
Launching his Final Mode attack, Gathering Gale, which starts peeling away his own body, Wamuu begins firing a stream of wind capable of cutting Red Stone towards JoJo. After a failed attempt at attacking him with a firebomb, JoJo strikes at Wamuu with Caesar's flaming bandana, which Wamuu shreds with his wind. However, this is all parts of JoJo's plan, as both the oil from the bomb and the burning embers of Caesar's bandana are breathed in by Wamuu, causing him to explode from the inside. Deciding Wamuu's wounds from the Ripple are fatal, JoJo gives him some of his blood to ease his passing as a sign of respect, similar to the respect Wamuu showed Caesar. When the other vampires suddenly attack, Wamuu uses the last of his strength to kill them, not wanting them to interfere until the end. Upon Wamuu's request, JoJo drinks the antidote from his ring, allowing Wamuu to pass away with no regrets. It is soon time for Lisa Lisa's battle with Kars, with Lisa Lisa apparently getting the upper hand with her Ripple-infused scarf. However, Kars cheats by using a body double before stabbing Lisa Lisa from behind, showing no respect for the honor of battle unlike his compatriot Wamuu. After claiming the Red Stone of Aja for himself, Kars sends his vampire army after the weakened JoJo. However, he is rescued by Stroheim and his men, along with Speedwagon and Smokey, who use ultraviolet lights to fight off the vampires whilst JoJo goes to face Kars. As Kars uses Lisa Lisa to force JoJo into a vulnerable position, Smokey reveals that Lisa Lisa is in fact JoJo's mother.
Being forced to cling onto a rope to stop Lisa Lisa from falling to her death, Joseph is at a huge disadvantage against Kars. He manages to trick Kars however using an elaborate snare and pushes into the crystals below. A flashbacks initiates revealing Lisa Lisa' pasts beginning with her meeting and marriage with Air Force Pilot, George Joestar II. It is also revealed that soon after Joseph's birth, George was murdered by a zombie whom had presumably hidden away since the battle with Dio as an air force officer. When Elizabeth discovered the treachery, she hunted down the zombie and easily killed him with her Ripple powers, but she was caught in the act by an RAF official who thought she murdered a human in cold blood and burned the body to hide the evidence. Wanted throughout all of Europe, Elizabeth became a fugitive until she met with Speedwagon once more, using his foundation's resources erase all trace of her past, and placing her on Venice's Air Supplena Island where she changed her name to Lisa Lisa. Back at the present, Stroheim attempts to finish off Kars with multiple blasts of ultraviolet beam, but Kars suddenly puts on the Stone Mask with the Red Stone of Aja in place. Before Stroheim can call off the attack, the artificial sunlight from all the German soldiers and Speedwagon Foundation operatives channels through the Super Aja, activating the Stone Mask and sending its undiluted energy into Kars, who undergoes a dramatic transformation.
Kars demonstrates his new powers, turning his hand into a flesh-eating squirrel that deals damage to Stroheim. The sun rises, killing the rest of the vampire minions, but Kars remains standing, immune thanks to the power of the Red Stone. Joseph grabs the Red Stone and runs off with Smokey to lure Kars away from the others whilst thinking of a plan. Leaving Smokey behind before he can tell him about Lisa Lisa, Joseph boards a plane to lure Kars away further. Joseph theorizes he may be able to beat Kars if he drops him into a volcano and heads towards a volcanic island of Italy. As Speedwagon attempts to stop Joseph by telling him about Lisa Lisa, the feathers that Kars had launched on JoJo's plane turn into piranhas, which cause the plane to ignite and start to dive into the island. Joseph uses his parachute to lure Kars into the path of the plane as it heads towards the volcano's crater. Kars attempts to escape, but Stroheim appears inside the plane and stops him. He rescues Joseph once the plane explodes by sacrifices his own robotic legs when they hit the ground. The volcano begins to erupt, and Kars is flung into the lava and begins to melt.
Joseph's victory, along with his arm, is cut short when Kars manages to survive the volcano by forming a shield of air bubbles to protect him from its deadly lava. Joseph attempts to fight back, but becomes shocked to discover that Kars has also learned how to use the Ripple, and at a potency one hundred times more powerful than JoJo's, causing the protagonist's leg to start melting away. As Kars prepares to kill JoJo using his Ripple, JoJo subconsciously holds up the Red Stone of Aja just as Kars is about to strike, causing the island to erupt, launching both JoJo and Kars into the sky. Distracted by JoJo's severed arm hitting him, Kars is launched further into the sky by volcanic debris, pushing him outside of the Earth's gravitational pull. His body freezes, and with being unable to move and unable to die, Kars eventually stops thinking. JoJo miraculously survives re-entry and goes on to marry Suzi Q. Over 50 years later, JoJo is seen preparing to board a flight to Japan to see his daughter. Meanwhile, in a dark prison cell, a young man sits ominously.

Em comparação com as temporadas futuras, as versões em Blu-Ray desta temporada são transmitidas apenas no Crunchyroll. Isso provavelmente se deve ao fato do site ter obtido a licença bem depois de o anime terminar de ser exibido, contrastando com as programações de upload de uma hora de atraso nas partes seguintes.
O produtor Hisataka Kasama nomeou dois diretores para a série: Naokatsu Tsuda e Kenichi Suzuki, o que é incomum para um anime. É porque Kasama sentiu que seria difícil para uma pessoa adaptar o trabalho de Hirohiko Araki, então ele escolheu Tsuda porque ele era "um bom diretor de comédia" e Suzuki era um "bom diretor de ação". Naokatsu Tsuda diz que se tivesse sido convidado a dirigir o anime sozinho, ele poderia ter recusado, mas se sentiu seguro por ter parceiros para esse papel.[5]
