Contents.Plot In 1999, in the town of Morioh located in S-City, M-Prefecture, a freshman named Koichi Hirose meets a man looking for Josuke Higashikata, a popular boy in high school. Josuke, who is the illegitimate child of Joseph Joestar, soon meets the man, who introduces himself as. Jotaro's arrival in Morioh pulls Josuke into the world of the supernatural powers known as Stands, as he becomes involved in Jotaro's search for the Stand-creating Bow and Arrow.

Josuke and Koichi eventually come across a pair of Stand-using brothers, Okuyasu and Keicho Nijimura. Keicho is revealed to be the one possessing the Bow. Koichi is shot by the Arrow, but survives and gains a Stand of his own. After he and his brother are defeated, Keicho is attacked by the Stand Red Hot Chili Pepper, which kills him and takes the Bow and Arrow. Okuyasu joins with Josuke, Jotaro, and Koichi to fight the Stand that killed his brother, and eventually becomes close friends with Josuke. The group encounter several other Stand users before eventually coming face-to-face with Akira Otoishi, Red Hot Chili Pepper's user. The Bow and Arrow are taken into Jotaro's custody and all seems to be over for the moment.Soon afterward, Koichi and the manga artist Rohan Kishibe discover a mysterious alleyway and meet the ghost of a young girl named Reimi Sugimoto.

Reimi, who was murdered by a serial killer over a decade ago, begs Koichi and Rohan to find her killer, who is still lurking within Morioh. When Josuke and Okuyasu's new friend, Shigekiyo 'Shigechi' Yangu, discovers the killer Reimi spoke of, he is murdered before he can tell anyone. However, Shigechi is able to leave a small clue behind which allows the group to track down the killer, a man named Yoshikage Kira. Jotaro and Koichi eventually fight Kira, who flees before being defeated and forces another Stand user to alter his appearance and give him the face of a man named Kosaku Kawajiri; Kira kills both to cover his tracks. Shortly thereafter, the group discovers the ghost of Kira's father, who uses a second Bow and Arrow to create an army of Stand users to protect his son. Kira's true identity is eventually discovered by Kawajiri's son, Hayato.

Hayato is killed, and Kira is granted a new ability by his father's Arrow. That same day, Rohan begins to suspect Kosaku Kawajiri as Kira's new identity and confirms this after reading Hayato's memories. However, Rohan is immediately killed by Killer Queen's new power, Bites the Dust, which can kill anyone who asks Hayato for Kira's identity and rewind time by one hour afterward, while preserving the victim's fate.After Hayato witnesses Rohan's death once more, Josuke, Koichi, Okuyasu, and Jotaro arrive to meet him.

They see Hayato and figure out that Kira is masquerading as his father, which causes Bites the Dust to kill all of them. The day loops again, but Hayato manages to trick Kira into giving his own identity away, alerting Josuke.

Kira is forced to remove Bites the Dust from Hayato to protect himself as he fights Josuke, saving Rohan and the rest of the group from their fate. With help from Josuke, Hayato, Okuyasu, and Koichi, Jotaro delivers a blow to Kira that propels him in front of an ambulance, killing him. During a confrontation with Reimi, Kira's ghost is dragged off to the underworld.

With Kira dead and the murders ended, Reimi says her last goodbyes to the Stand users of Morioh as she ascends to heaven. Hayato returns to his mother, who remains unaware of Kawajiri's death. As Jotaro and Joseph prepare to leave Morioh, Josuke wishes them the best, but not before pranking Joseph by stealing his wallet.Characters. See also:.
