The series is divided into eight parts, each following the story of one member of the Joestar family, who inevitably has a name that can be abbreviated to the titular "Jojo".
The first part, "Phantom Blood," introduces the Joestar family and the first Jojo, Jonathan Joestar. Set in Victorian England, Jonathan is a wealthy young man who is groomed to take over his father's estate. However, his life is turned upside down when his father adopts Dio Brando, a cruel and ambitious orphan who becomes jealous of Jonathan's position and sets out to destroy him. Dio discovers an ancient stone mask that grants him vampiric powers and uses them to try and defeat Jonathan.
The second part, "Battle Tendency," takes place in the 1930s and follows the adventures of Jonathan's grandson, Joseph Joestar.

The third part, "Stardust Crusaders," takes place in the 1980s and follows Jotaro Kujo, the grandson of Joseph Joestar. Jotaro is a delinquent high school student who discovers he has a "Stand," a supernatural manifestation of his fighting spirit.
