Dio's hunger for power runs bottomless, and it eventually draws him to a mysterious ancient stone mask kept within the Joestar estate, a relic whose supernatural properties lock the two onto a collision course that will echo down the family bloodline. Half a century later, the fight passes to Jonathan's brash, quick-witted grandson, Joseph Joestar, who must master a strange supernatural martial art to stand against the mask's long-dormant makers - superhuman beings whose reawakening threatens all of humanity. It's a two-generation story of legacy, defiance, and gloriously over-the-top supernatural combat. ## Fast Facts - **Format:** TV - **Episodes:** 26 - **Premiered:** 2012 - **Studio:** david production inc. - **Score:** 7.7 ## Watch Order Good news for newcomers: this is exactly where the JoJo franchise begins.
