The JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise currently composes of 8 current story parts, with the ninth part scheduled to start in February 2023. Each story part has their own respective protagonist, locations, antagonists, etc. Most elements of each story part are unique to their own individual ways, but some things such as characters, items, etc. also reappears in other parts too (such as Jotaro Kujo making an apperance in both Part 3 and Part 4).

The overall story is split into two different universe: the original universe where Parts 1 to 6 take place in; and the alternate universe where Parts 7 and 8 take place in. Parts 7 and 8 are disconnected to the events of the previous Parts, so events from both universes don't affect each other primarily. However, the alternate univeself itself contains several nods to the original universe in many ways, ranging from alternate versions of existing characters, stands identical in apperance and/or function, familiar locations, etc.

In the game All-Star Battle R, Parts 1 to 8 are featured as the main represented parts of the game. With the exception of Part 8, All-Star Battle R cumulates the majority, if not everything, from the Parts and represents them in the game whethered it be the character's apperance, the moves that they perform, the visitable stage locations, the different colors and costumes they can wear, etc, Part 8 was relatively new to when the original game was in development, so representation of the Part is based off events that happened quite early on rather than a amalgation of the Part. As of the base game, All-Star Battle R does not feature any new content from the original, even excluding stuff for the part that was added in Eyes of Heaven.

Although they're not featured within the main story, All-Star Battle R also represents content that are made from spinoff media in the franchise. A notable example of this would be Pannacotta Fugo, who utilizes moves that he performs in Purple Haze Feedback such as his Great Heat Attack.

Ikuro is the sole exception to this, being a playable guest character from Hirohiko Araki's previous work Baoh the Visitor.

Unlike the other parts that sees representations of events throughout the entirely of the story, JoJolion's protrayal in the game is mainly based off the story's first three volumes so representation of the game is quite limited in comparison. This is most notable with Josuke 8's moveset, as it's quite restrictited compared to how much stuff the previous protagonists have from throughout their own parts. Even with JoJolion concluding quite some time before All-Star Battle R's original announcement, no notable changes have been made with Josuke 8's moveset as well as additional representation in JoJolion. It is currently unknown if post-launch content for the game would contain later elements of the story part.

### The JOJOLands

The ninth story part of the series, it is set in Oahu, Hawaii. It focuses on Jodio Joestar, a descendant of the Joeseph Joestar in the alternate universe, as the 9th main JoJo in the series. The part focuses on his gang activities, as he aspires to become rich.

As the part began quite recently ad after the game's release, the part virtually doesn't have any representation in the game. It is currently unknown if anything within The JOJOLands will be subsequently added in future updates for the game.
