Good morning.

This is Morioh Radio.

I'll be at your service today.

I'm your neighbor, Kai Harada.

What a lovely morning today.

How about we listen to a song that fits this mood?

This morning's song will now begin.

The signal is back.

Usually, we'll start receiving the signal once we pass that tower.

Sir,

is it your first time in Morioh?

Yes.

What kind of town is it?

You mean Morioh?

Their miso beef tongue is very good.

Did any weird events happen there?

Like crime?

I'm not sure.

Sorry, I don't know that much, to be honest.

By the way, where should I drop you?

You can drop me at the station.

All right.

Give me a break.

I sure hope it's not too much of a problem.

April of 1999.

On the first day of school,

I met two peculiar men.

Today, I start my high school life.

I wonder what kind of people I'll meet.

My name is Koichi Hirose.

Well, you don't have to remember it or anything.

The first day of high school.

I'm quite nervous.

What?

That's odd. I bumped into someone,

but my bag and things are still here.

Sorry. I wasn't paying attention.

Gosh, he's a giant.

He must be at least 190cm.

Pardon me for asking,

but is there a family with the name "Higashikata" living in this town?

"Higashikata"?

I'm not sure.

Do you know where this is then?

Jozenji, 1-6.

"Jotaro Kujo."

Jozenji.

You can take Bus No. 3 to go there.

Just wait for a bit.

The bus should be here soon.

Thanks.

The first was this man.

Jotaro Kujo.

I later found out

that he's 28 years old.

He is a maritime adventurer.

He's well-known among academics for his ecological studies.

He looks wild and dashing on the outside,

but he is actually very smart.

So cool.

Dimwit.

Are you a new student?

What about your greeting?

Yes, I am new.

I'm Koichi Hirose.

Good morning.

Very good. That's the way.

That was scary.

It's okay.

Those people aren't taking the same bus.

What's up with this kid?

What are you doing?

What am I doing? Well...

The turtle in this pond seems to have woken up from its hibernation.

So I'm watching it.

I'm clueless about turtles.

I want to touch it, but I'm scared to.

I'm trying to overcome my fear.

Nobody asked you all that.

Stand up, idiot.

This first-year kid is pretty tall.

-Who said that you could wear -You dumbass.

-such flashy clothes? -Who said you could wear that?

You haven't greeted us yet.

I don't know much about creepy crawlies.

They're scary.

Lame. What are you laughing at?

I'm sorry.

I didn't realize it.

Some kids also said the same thing.

They were sent to the hospital and never returned.

I'll have you end up

just like this turtle.

How about that?

So despicable.

I'll let you go this time.

Take off that jacket of yours and remove the buttons.

-Give us all your money. -Yes.

I'm so sorry.

If you don't want to be bullied,

don't wear those kinds of clothes.

Personally,

not getting angry about what happened to the turtle

is more annoying.

Hey, what's this kid without a backbone called?

Right.

I'm from Class 1B.

I'm Josuke Higashikata.

What? "Josuke Higashikata"?

STUDENT HANDBOOK

His name starts with "Jo" too.

Josuke. From today onwards,

we'll call you JoJo.

Yes.

Thank you for giving me a nickname.

Okay, now take off your jacket.

The bus is here already.

Hurry up

or else I'm going to shave off your little King Kong hair.

What's taking so long?

-Move it. -Hey, you.

What did you just say about my hair?

What? A Stand?

My nose...

You dare make fun of my hair? You piss me off.

I won't let it pass, even if you're a senior.

How dare you compare my hairstyle to King Kong?

No. Nobody said that.

I heard it loud and clear.

What's happening? Those bullies are being beaten to a pulp.

A Stand totally appeared behind him just now.

Wait, the injured turtle...

What's happening?

His injuries are slowly healing.

It's fixed!

But doesn't he look a bit weird now?

He looks different from before.

No, how do I look now?

Answer me.

It's all your fault.

You made me touch the turtle unwillingly.

How are you going to make it up to me?

Hold up!

What happened to my nose?

Tell me!

Give me a break.

That guy is...

That startled me.

What? The turtle again?

I didn't imagine it.

The turtle's injury disappeared.

Josuke Higashikata.

Born in 1983.

Your mother's name is Tomoko.

She was aged 21.

She went to college in Tokyo.

She moved here after giving birth.

In the year 1987,

when you were four,

you came down with a high fever

and were on the brink of death for 50 days.

Your father's name is...

Good grief.

I hate having to do this.

Your father's name is

Joseph Joestar.

He's 78 years old this year.

He's the founder of the Joestar Estate Agency.

I've heard of him.

He's a well-known real estate tycoon in America.

That old man is still in good shape.

But while doing some investigation for future asset distribution,

he discovered he had a son in Japan.

Apparently, he knew nothing about you.

That damn old man.

He had the audacity to say, "I only loved one woman in my whole life."

You're the son from an affair he had

when he was 62 years old.

It took a while to find you.

Sorry about my words.

My name is Jotaro Kujo.

How should I put it?

Based on the family hierarchy, I am your nephew.

It's a little hard to believe.

Nephew?

Hello.

Let's talk while we walk.

That's the gist of it.

One day,

you will be given a third of the old man's assets.

I came here to pass the message.

The Joestar household became a mess

after finding out that the old man had an affair.

It's in a mess?

Yes.

Grandma Suzi Q, who has been married to the old man for 61 years,

has never been so angry.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to cause such an uproar.

Hold up.

What are you apologizing for?

Well, you know...

It's never a good thing when family members fight.

My mother told me I was born out of her love for the man.

I accepted the reason.

So you don't need to worry about us.

Please relay my feelings to my father.

I mean, please tell Mr. Joestar.

That's all.

What is up with this dude?

I was all prepared to be tricked on behalf of the old man.

I didn't expect this guy

to apologize instead.

It's Josuke.

Yes, it's him.

Josuke!

-How are you? -What a coincidence.

Let's go to school together.

Your hairstyle looks great today.

Very stylish.

A handsome guy always stands out.

Actually, I'm kind of busy right now.

What?

You'll be late if you don't hurry.

You can talk again later.

Hey, Josuke.

We haven't finished talking.

Send them off.

What? Who's that guy?

Continue the boring hairstyle discussion later.

He just said something he shouldn't have.

About his hair.

Dude.

What did you say about my hair?

That guy's dead meat.

I don't know anything.

The one thing Josuke can't stand is someone criticizing his hair.

It's like pushing someone to provoke them.

Wait a minute, Josuke.

I wasn't criticizing you at all.

Oh, no, he's coming.

-Josuke! -He's bleeding.

Did you see that, Josuke?

This is called a Stand.

It's an entity created from supernatural power.

Joseph Joestar also has it.

Only Stand users can see other Stands.

When someone criticizes my hairstyle, I become angry.

It's not something I can control.

Is this your Stand, Josuke?

This power.

Your body from below your chin will be my punching bag.

This brat.

What?

-When did he... -What happened?

Damn you.

When did you...

Josuke!

Josuke!

Shut up!

I can't stand women screaming.

Get lost!

-Okay. -Okay.

I think they know each other.

That man's kind of scary.

But he sure is handsome.

I don't get it.

What just happened there?

I'm pretty sure something did.

It's been a long time.

Actually, it's been ten years

since I stopped time for half a second.

If I hadn't stopped the time,

he wouldn't die,

but he would sustain some grave injuries.

Get up, Josuke.

No, I'm fine.

No need to help me.

Okay.

There's one more reason why I came to see you.

It's because of this photo.

Something is hiding in this town.

It seems like a tragedy is coming.

Old Man Joseph took these photos

when he checked up on you using psychic photography.

We don't know why these showed up.

This guy must be a Stand user, too.

This matter doesn't involve you

but I wanted you to see the photos.

You need to be careful too.

Koichi.

If you see this guy,

stay away from him.

Calling the police won't do anything.

It's best to turn away and run.

Josuke.

Don't get angry and do anything to him.

Otherwise, you'll end up like this again.

The school orientation.

Look at the time.

Oh, no.

If I'm late on the first day,

my mother will have my head.

So...

I'll talk to you again properly after school.

You're Koichi, right?

We need to go.

-Hurry up! -Okay!

The other peculiar man that I met

is this guy, Josuke Higashikata.

He seems kind of silly and looks to be the type to pop off.

Basically, he's unpredictable.

He seems to come from a complicated family.

We totally just met, though.

Josuke Higashikata.

What a weirdo.

And his Stand...

My hat.

Is this considered fixed?

His Stand has the ability to fix what is broken.

If that was how the face turned out earlier...

It scares me to think what he's capable of.

But, he's going to become our ally. Considering that,

he might just be a dependable guy,

provided that he keeps his weird personality in check.

I hope this man has nothing to do with Josuke.

CRAZY DIAMOND

JOSUKE HIGASHIKATA

Hey, miss.

Where are you going?

I can take you.

Say something.

Don't be so cold.

How about it?

Very pretty indeed.

Will you really go anywhere I say?

For sure.

Anywhere at all.

Then go to hell by yourself!

Are you okay, mister?

Officer.

Arrest that damn woman.

She assaulted me. I'm pressing charges.

I can't.

That won't work.

Why?

Because she's my daughter.

How should I put it?

You've been causing trouble for others too.

You even called someone's daughter "the damn woman."

I will let it slide this time.

But please be careful in the future.

Madam Murakami, are you okay?

Here, your things.

Hey, Tomoko.

Dad.

-Going home? -Yes.

Let's go together.

I'm done with work today.

How is Josuke?

It's the first day of school, right?

I hope he didn't cause any trouble.

Hard to say.

That idiot looks easygoing

but he can suddenly snap.

Who do you think he took after?

Hey...

But,

deep down, that boy has a good and tender heart.

There's no need to worry.

Right.

We should have a celebration tonight because he started high school.

Yes, that's what I wanted to do.

But will he be home early?

He always goes loitering.

That's right.

I want to go to Kame Yu.

I already bought an expensive bag for you last time, didn't I?

I want to shop for clothes this time.

Watch it, idiot!

This isn't your road, asshole.

That guy gave me the creeps.

He didn't even apologize after bumping into someone.

Forget it, more importantly...

I know. We'll go shopping.

Anjuro Katagiri.

Nickname, Angelo.

He was born in Morioh in 1964.

Has an IQ of 160.

When he was 12,

he was sent to a juvenile detention center for assault and rape.

After that first taste of crime,

he soon became one of Japan's most despicable

and sinister criminals.

He spent most of his youth

carrying out all sorts of crimes and in jail.

When he turned 34, he had spent 20 years in jail.

His last crime

was so sinister and gross that it would make even toilet rats puke.

When he was finally arrested, he was sentenced to death.

However, his execution failed

and nobody knew why.

He then escaped from prison.

He most likely became a Stand user before he was due to die.

How it happened is unclear.

That guy is hiding in this peaceful town.

Somewhere.

Koichi.

Going back?

Yes.

We're in the same class.

Yes, what a coincidence.

Hope we'll get along well.

I'm off.

Hey, Josuke.

Really?

You want to hear what that Jotaro guy has to say?

It piqued my interest.

Besides, it's about this town.

You're something, all right.

I can't be bothered.

Why?

I'm kind of interested,

but after giving it some thought,

I can't change the fact that I'm an illegitimate child.

I shouldn't get too involved.

Why?

How should I say it?

My life right now isn't so bad.

I see.

What?

Did something happen?

-Let's go and take a look. -Okay.

This is off-limits. Step back.

Step back.

Looks like it's serious.

I heard the store's female attendant is being taken hostage inside.

Look, they're coming out.

Freeze! Drop the knife!

Let the woman go.

Shut up! Move back!

That female attendant served me before.

She's in a dangerous situation.

That man looks like he would kill her if anything happened.

Those over there, move back!

I'm getting a car.

This is bad, Josuke.

We should move.

-Sorry, excuse me. -The kid with that funny hairdo.

I told you to step away from the car!

You want to die?

What's this?

I'm getting a bad feeling.

I'm right.

Oh, no, it's happening.

Even in this kind of situation!

Jotaro warned him, didn't he?

What's wrong with him?

Hey, stop!

What did you say?

What do you want?

Stay away.

Or else I'm going to kill her.

Kid, step back!

Don't provoke the suspect!

I already told you to move back.

You...

You're pissing me off!

I'm going to stab this girl with the knife.

Are you?

He made a hole in their bodies!

I'm pissing you off, you say?

I should be saying that to you.

I'm still in one piece.

It healed.

It happened again.

The army knife is in my stomach!

How?

Get a doctor to remove it at the prison hospital.

Arrest him!

What just happened?

Josuke.

Koichi.

Are you okay when you did that?

What? His mouth is wide open.

Who would've thought

that there would be another Stand user in this place?

I was having a good time stealing with this body.

How dare you stop me?

This guy is the one from the photo.

I'll be keeping my eyes on you.

You can be sure I'm watching you anytime, anywhere.

What are you saying?

Josuke!

Take down the idiot!

-Officer, wait. -What were you thinking?

What Jotaro said was right.

Something is hiding in this town.

Something that we don't know about.

This town, Morioh.

Did something bad happen here?

Josuke, answer the phone.

Josuke, I said get the phone.

Yes, I'm doing it now.

Hello?

This is Jotaro.

Hello.

We didn't get to talk properly yesterday.

I'd like to meet and talk about that man hiding in the town.

About that, I have something...

Jotaro.

Where are you right now?

At the Morioh Grand Hotel.

Did something happen?

As for that...

Damn it. This is so frustrating.

Where did I put the shovel?

That kid.

He has such a nice family.

Not to mention a pretty and vivacious mother.

It's making me jealous.

Josuke Higashikata.

Don't get too cocky.

I'm going to destroy your life, your soul, and everything in it.
