## Synopsis

Armed with the astonishing ability to summon a Stand, master delinquent Jotaro Kujo must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Joseph Joestar, protect the secret behind his spectacular Stand Arrow from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Joestar and Kujo must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

## Plot

In year 1989, Joseph Joestar resigns from M.O.N. (berating Princess Alishia, Hoenheim Elric, and Agent Suzuya) after discovering the organization attempted to replicate his own Hamon breathing technique, which Joseph believes is very dangerous and vows to suppress it.

In the present, Joseph's estranged daughter, Holly Joestar, and protege, Dio Brando, have forced him from his own company, Joestar Technologies. Furthermore, Joseph is more devastated when Dio unravels his own project; a Stand Arrow, based on an artifact Joseph had been exposed to in his past.

Meanwhile, a couple of months after the events transpiring in Hellawes, uncaring delinquent Jotaro Kujo has been released from State Prison, after serving three years for burglarizing a former employer. He reunites with his former cellmate, Kakyoin, and his two other partners Polnareff and Avdol, who offer him a position in a burglary; however, Jotaro exploits his intention about going straight. Furthermore, he learns that his ex-wife has gotten engaged to a police officer, Krillin. His wife also reveals that he cannot see their child anymore if he does not provide child support.

Relentless, and hopeless, Jotaro inadvertently accepts the burglary job offered by Kakyoin, when he is unable to strike up a job because of his negative criminal records and background. Jotaro confidentially infiltrates the house where he is supposed to break into, and cracks open a safe, and finds something which he refers to as an "old ass arrow". He takes it to his apartment after escaping, accidentally scraping himself with it in the process. It is then he first summons his Stand, Star Platinum. Panicking, he inadvertently demolishes a wall, and struggles to restrain his Stand. Terrified by this enigmatically frightening experience, he attempts to return the arrow back to the house where he smuggled it from, only to be discovered by the police, and arrested. Joseph, the owner of the house which Jotaro broke into, poses as a lawyer, and smuggles a note to Jotaro's cell to help him break out. Although confused, Jotaro summons Star Platinum and escapes the prison.

Jotaro discovers that Joseph manipulated him through Kakyoin into stealing the arrow as a test, and wants Jotaro to become a hero and steal the new Stand Arrow from Dio, which Joseph considers as extremely dangerous equipment, literally capable of potential mass destruction. Joseph requests Holly to spy on Dio, and she does so, although resenting her father for their strained relationship and not saying anything about her mother and also not letting her stop Dio. Meanwhile, Jotaro is trained by Holly and Joseph (who has his own Stand called Hermit Purple) to perfectly control and manipulate Star Platinum.

Joseph sends Jotaro to a very risky mission, where he steals a device from the Jump Force Facility, originally one of Hoenheim Elric's warehouses, that eventually leads to a fight between Jotaro and Zavied.

Later, Joseph in frustration, tells Holly the truth about the death of her mother, Suzie Q; her mother was the counterpart of Joseph's superhero identity, who sacrificed herself to prohibit a Rolance Arte launch missile to be activated; in the process, she disappeared into a subatomic Quantum Realm. He admits that he does not want the same to happen to Holly; then the two reconcile.

Dio perfects the Stand Arrow, and invites Joseph to the unveiling. While the congregation ceremony of the Stand Arrow is taking place, Jotaro, along with his crew and Star Platinum, infiltrates the building. Planting explosives and sabotaging all the servers, Jotaro is prepared to steal the Stand Arrow; however he is captured by Dio who was expecting this. Dio sells the Stand Arrow to the international terrorist organization, the CCG, who has still surprisingly remained, even after the events of Age of Father. Jotaro breaks free from his trap, fights the CCG agents and chases after the escaped Dio, though a CCG agent escapes with Dio's unstable Stand Arrow amidst the chaos. Then, the planted explosives planted detonate, imploding the building into the Quantum Realm.

Dio stabs himself with the original Stand Arrow. Jotaro traps DIO in a power generator, but before he can sabotage his Stand, The World, he is tazered and arrested by Krillin. DIO escapes, and holds Jotaro's daughter, Jolyne Cujoh, as a hostage, to lure Jotaro to him. They both fight once again but as a last effort, Jotaro manages to copy DIO's Time Stop ability to finally penetrate his defenses. They both battle in the world of stopped time, with DIO exploding due to the damage to The World from Star Platinum, who smashed through The World's defenses and mortally wounded the Stand, thus mortally wounding DIO. Jotaro, fighting unconsciousness and after hearing Jolyne calling for him, finds the will to resume time's normal flow and returns to reality.

Witnessing the heroism of Jotaro, Krillin covers up for him, and wriggles him out of serving time. Jotaro remembers little of his experience in stopped time, with Joseph believing the human mind might not be able to process it. Seeing that Jotaro survived stopping time, Joseph wonders if his wife is still alive somewhere in the Quantum Realm. Months later, Kakyoin informs Jotaro that the Jump Force are looking to recruit him, by the suggestion of Zavied.

After Jotaro departs, Joseph congregates the Stand Arrow, offering it to Holly. To which she replies, "it's about damn time".

A year later, in another location, Sorey and Zavied have found Mikleo. Unable to contact Edward Elric "because of the Accords," Zavied states that "he knows a guy".
