Jotaro Kujo (Story Arc)

Jotaro Kujo (空条承太郎, Kūjō Jōtarō) is the first story arc in Stardust Crusaders.

Summary

The story begins with Holy Kujo , daughter of Joseph Joestar, visiting her son Jotaro who is in jail for having beaten up four people. When the police officers tell him to go, he refuses, claiming to have been possessed by an evil spirit. He demonstrates this possession by stealing one of the officer's gun and have it catch a bullet.

Fours years ago, a familiar coffin in which was engraved the name "DIO" has been opened by three treasure hunters. The treasure hunters disappeared and only the empty coffin remained.

In the now, Holy welcomes her father and one of his friend in the airport and they come see Jotaro in his cell. Jotaro refuses to listen to his grandfather, who calls forth the fortuneteller Mohammed Avdol to get Jotaro out of his cell. Avdol summons Magician's Red , a being similar to the one Jotaro possesses, and binds the teenager with fire. Avdol explains that Jotaro isn't possessed, but that he has acquired a Stand , a spiritual guardian which as the name indicates, stands besides its proprietor. Jotaro angrily summons his Stand and prepares to fight but Avdol stops the fight, as Jotaro stepped out of his cell. Joseph then explains that the mortal enemy of the Joestar bloodline Dio Brando , escaped from his coffin and is roaming free.
