Ep. 1: Jotaro Kujo confronts his possessed state while Joseph Joestar investigates the revived Dio.

In 1983, a coffin labeled DIO is recovered from the Canary Islands, leading to the disappearance of the salvage crew. Four years later in 1987, Jotaro Kujo remains imprisoned in Japan, believing he is possessed. He demonstrates this by stopping a bullet fired at his head with a spectral hand. His mother, Holly, contacts grandfather Joseph Joestar, who arrives with Mohammed Avdol. Joseph tasks Avdol with removing Jotaro, who summons a protective spirit. Joseph explains these manifestations are Stands, powered by life force. Jotaro fights back, breaking the bars, allowing Avdol to succeed. Joseph reveals the Speedwagon Foundation found the empty coffin containing Dio, who has stolen Jonathan Joestar’s body, evidenced by a shared star-shaped birthmark. Dio’s revival triggered Stand appearances in Joseph and Jotaro. The group prepares to track Dio, who senses their pursuit and vows to kill them.
