プロローグ
ある日突然「悪霊」にとりつかれたとして、周囲の安全のために留置場に自ら閉じこもった空条承太郎のもとに、祖父のジョセフ・ジョースターとその友人であるモハメド・アヴドゥルが訪れ、承太郎の「悪霊」の正体が精神エネルギーが具現化した「スタンド」というものだと説明する。これより数年前のこと、かつてジョセフの祖父・ジョナサンと戦った吸血鬼・DIOの棺が海底から引き揚げられていた。彼はジョナサンの首から下を乗っ取り、海底で100年もの間生き延びていたのである。復活してスタンド能力を得たDIOは、スタンド使いの配下を増やして世界を支配するという野望を再び巡らせていた。アヴドゥルは、「ジョセフや承太郎にスタンドが発現したのは、DIOが原因」だという推測を補足する形で、「DIOが奪い取ったジョナサンの肉体から血縁者同士の影響を受けた」のだと承太郎に告げる。
序盤
その数日後、早速承太郎はDIOに洗脳され転校という形で送り込まれたスタンド使いの刺客・花京院典明と保健室で戦闘になるが勝利し、洗脳支配から解放した。それから間もなく承太郎の母親・空条ホリィにもスタンドが発現するが、闘争本能が弱いホリィはスタンドを制御できず、ただ肉体を蝕まれるのみであった。ジョセフは承太郎に、彼女を救う方法は命が尽きるまでの推定50日以内にDIOを見つけ出して倒し、ジョナサンの肉体からの影響を断つことしかないと告げる。ジョセフの念写能力と承太郎のスタンド能力を合わせた調査[注 1]、それに加えて花京院の証言から、DIOがエジプトに潜んでいることを突き止めた承太郎たちはホリィの看病をスピードワゴン財団に任せ、道中で新たな仲間としてジャン=ピエール・ポルナレフを加えながら、DIOの潜伏するエジプトを目指して旅に出る。
中盤
一方でDIOはジョースター家との因縁に決着をつけるため、タロットカードの暗示を受けた刺客のスタンド使いたちを承太郎たちに差し向ける。敵は旅客機を墜落させ、無関係の一般人を犠牲にすることも躊躇しないため、承太郎たちは少人数で海路・陸路を行くことを選択する。香港島、インド、パキスタン、紅海を経由して、エジプトに入った彼らは財団が連れてきたスタンド使いの犬・イギーを新たに仲間へ加えて戦力を増強するが、送り込まれる刺客もまたエジプト9栄神の名のカードを冠する強力なスタンド使いとなっていく。それらを撃退しながらアスワン、ルクソール、ギザを経由して北上していき、ついにカイロへと辿りつく。
終盤
ホリィの容態が急変し、残り時間も少ない状況で、ついに一行はカイロにてDIOの潜伏する館を発見する。DIOの側近のスタンドによってアヴドゥルとイギーを喪いながらも、一行はDIOのもとにたどり着く。だが、圧倒的な力を持っているDIOの「謎のスタンド能力」の前に、一時退却を余儀なくされてしまう。これを受け、一行は挟み撃ちの形を取るため承太郎とポルナレフ、花京院とジョセフの二組に別れて行動し始める。花京院の犠牲によって、DIOのスタンド能力が「時を止める」能力であることを察知したジョセフは、遅れてやって来た承太郎にその事実を伝えた。それにより闘いの中で、DIOとまったく同じ「時を止める」能力を会得した承太郎だったが、DIOよりも時を止める時間が短く、苦戦を強いられる。残ったジョセフとポルナレフも倒れて一騎討ちの激闘に陥った末、ついにDIOを撃破してホリィの救出にも成功する。ジョナサンの代から始まった、一族とDIOの100年にもわたる長き因縁に決着をつけたのだった。
In Japan, 1987,[b] Jotaro Kujo, grandson of Joseph Joestar, has been arrested, and refuses to leave his cell, believing he is possessed by an evil spirit. After being called by Holly, Joseph’s daughter and Jotaro’s mother, Joseph arrives with an associate, Mohammed Avdol. They explain that Jotaro’s “evil spirit” is actually a manifestation of his fighting spirit, called a Stand, and reveal that they possess Stands as well. Joseph explains that the sudden appearance of their Stands is caused by the nemesis of his grandfather, Jonathan Joestar: Dio Brando, now simply referred to as Dio (stylized in all caps). Dio has survived his final battle with Jonathan by decapitating his nemesis’s corpse and attaching his own head to it. Now preparing for global conquest, Dio has awoken his own Stand (which awakens the Stands of the rest of the Joestar bloodline due to his use of Jonathan’s body) and recruited Stand-using assassins to kill Jonathan’s remaining descendants. Soon after, Jotaro uses his Stand, which is later named Star Platinum, to defeat the first of these assassins, a transfer student named Noriaki Kakyoin, before freeing Kakyoin from Dio’s control by removing a parasitic flesh bud from him. Holly soon becomes gravely ill due to a Stand manifesting in her, which is slowly killing her due to her weak personality. With little hesitation, Jotaro, Joseph, Avdol, and Kakyoin begin a journey to Egypt to kill Dio and save Holly’s life. On the way, they defeat another brainwashed assassin named Jean Pierre Polnareff who later joins the quest to kill Dio and avenge the death of his sister, whose murderer is among Dio’s forces.
Forced to travel on foot after Dio’s assassins manage to foil their travel by plane and ship, the group encounter Hol Horse and the murderer of Polnareff’s sister, J. Geil, in Calcutta, with Avdol seemingly killed during the confrontation. Polnareff kills J. Geil with Kakyoin’s help, and the remaining group travels further into Pakistan. After defeating Geil’s mother, a Dio loyalist named Enya, the group reach the Red Sea, where Polnareff learns Avdol faked his death to acquire a submarine that allows them to reach Egypt.
Upon arriving in Abu Simbel, the heroes are joined by Iggy, a Boston Terrier with a Stand of his own, while facing the first of nine Stands named after Egyptian deities (rather than the tarot theme of before). Kakyoin is wounded in the fight, and is taken to a hospital to recuperate. After the group defeats several more Stand users while reaching Cairo, Iggy discovers and leads them to Dio’s mansion, with Kakyoin rejoining them. At the mansion’s entrance, the party is split up- Jotaro, Joseph, and Kakyoin fight the last of the nine Egyptian god Stands, while Polnareff, Avdol, and Iggy make their way through the mansion. However, one of Dio’s servants, Vanilla Ice, kills Avdol and Iggy, both of whom separately sacrifice themselves to save Polnareff. An enraged Polnareff battles Vanilla Ice and discovers that Vanilla Ice has been transformed into a vampire like Dio, a fact that Vanilla Ice himself was unaware of. Polnareff floods the room with light, disintegrating Vanilla Ice and avenging his friends whose spirits peacefully head to Heaven.
Jotaro, Joseph, Kakyoin, and Polnareff ultimately encounter Dio, and escape his mansion. A chase across Cairo follows, leading to Kakyoin confronting Dio and his Stand, The World, whose power Dio has taken great lengths to keep secret (having previously assassinated Enya to keep her from telling the heroes). Though fatally wounded by The World, Kakyoin manages to deduce the Stand’s ability to stop time for five seconds and covertly relays it to Joseph in his final moments. Joseph is able to pass it on to Jotaro, but is swiftly killed by Dio, who uses his blood to increase the duration of his ability to nine seconds. With most of his allies dead and Polnareff unconscious, Jotaro is left to fight Dio alone. During the fight, both sides discover that their respective Stands are similar in both range, power, and ability, meaning that Jotaro is able to use The World’s time-stopping powers as well. Jotaro first uses this ability to briefly move around while Dio has stopped time, but he learns how to stop time directly when Dio tries to crush him with a road roller. Dio attempts to kill Jotaro with one final kick, but a counterattack from Jotaro splits The World in two, killing it and Dio. Jotaro transfuses Dio’s blood back into Joseph and uses Star Platinum to restart his stopped heart (an ability he’d previously used on himself while playing dead during the fight with Dio), reviving him. The two Joestars then expose Dio’s corpse to the sun, destroying the vampire for good. Jotaro and Joseph bid Polnareff farewell before returning to Japan, as Holly has made a full recovery.
