Spoiler-Free Story Rundown 📖
What’s It About
The Joestar family battles evil across centuries, from 1880s vampires to modern Stand users. Each part (1–6 in the anime) follows a new Joestar: Jonathan’s noble fight, Joseph’s tricky battles, Jotaro’s Stand-powered quest, Josuke’s small-town chaos, Giorno’s mafia rise, and Jolyne’s prison breakout. They face vampires, psychics, and bizarre foes using Hamon (energy) or Stands (psychic avatars). OVAs like Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan add side stories, while the manga continues with parts 7–9. It’s a multi-generational epic of action, family, and style! 🌍The Main Crew (Across Parts)
Jonathan Joestar (Part 1): Noble gentleman fighting a vampire. 🗡️
Jotaro Kujo (Part 3): Gruff teen with Star Platinum, punching hard. 👊
Jolyne Cujoh (Part 6): Tough gal with Stone Free, breaking out of prison. 🦋
Rohan Kishibe (OVAs): Quirky mangaka with Heaven’s Door Stand. ✍️
The World
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure spans 1880s England to 2010s Florida, with settings like mansions, deserts, and prisons. Parts 1–2 use Hamon; Parts 3–6 introduce Stands (e.g., Star Platinum, Crazy Diamond). The vibe shifts per part—gothic horror, adventure, crime drama—blending Castlevania’s flair with Yu Yu Hakusho’s battles. OVAs explore side characters, and the manga’s parts 7–9 (unadapted) reset the universe. X fans love its bold, ever-changing style!
Recommended Watch Order & What to Expect 🧐
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012–2022) includes 190 episodes across six parts, plus OVAs and older 1993–2000 OVAs, totaling ~80 hours of core content. It adapts manga parts 1–6 (volumes 1–80), while Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan adds side stories. The 1993–2000 OVAs cover Part 3 partially, but the 2012 anime is the definitive adaptation. No Part 7 (Steel Ball Run) anime is confirmed as of May 8, 2025, but X fans are hopeful. Here’s the best watch order for beginners, based on release order for story flow, with what each entry brings!

Vibe: Gothic and adventurous, with over-the-top fights and classic shonen heart. Part 1’s slower, Part 2’s wilder. 😄

7. Extras (Optional)
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure OVAs (1993–2000, APPP, 13 episodes): Older adaptation of Part 3 (7 ep. in 1993, 6 ep. in 2000). Less polished, incomplete compared to 2014 version. X fans say skip for 2012 anime (7.2/10 on MyAnimeList). Watch after Part 3 for nostalgia, optional. 📼
Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan: The Run (2024, Netflix Manga Short): 7-minute motion manga of Rohan’s workout battle. Fun, skippable. Watch after OVAs. 😺
Manga: The 130+ volume manga (1987–ongoing, Viz Media) covers parts 1–6 and continues with Part 7 (Steel Ball Run), Part 8 (JoJolion), and Part 9 (The JOJOLands). X fans recommend parts 7–9 for post-anime story. 📚
Watch Tip: Watch the 2012–2022 anime in order: Part 1: Phantom Blood (ep. 1–9) → Part 2: Battle Tendency (ep. 10–26) → Part 3: Stardust Crusaders (48 ep.) → Part 4: Diamond Is Unbreakable (39 ep.) → Part 5: Golden Wind (39 ep.) → Part 6: Stone Ocean (38 ep.) for the full saga (~80 hours). Slip Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan OVAs (4 ep.) after Part 4 for Rohan’s side stories (~2 hours). Skip 1993–2000 OVAs unless curious. Manga parts 7–9 continue the story. No Part 7 anime is confirmed—check X for updates. Violence and gore (TV-MA, 13+) suit older teens!
