The prominent Joestar family's lone successor is Jonathan JoJo Joestar. He had lived alone with his father since his mother perished in a carriage accident shortly after he was born, until one day Dio Brando comes into their lives. Dio is the son of the alleged person who saved his father in the aforementioned carriage tragedy twelve years ago.

It describes the rivalry between Jojo and Dio and how, as time goes on, a mysterious stone mask causes it to grow to unanticipated proportions.
