Let’s see. Yes. It logical is that if you are going to watch ‘JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’, start with part 1 and continue in order until 6, which is the most recent anime for now. What happens is that not all seasons are available on the same platform, and actually some of them work independently and would not be so necessary to follow the main story.
Although his thing is to see all the parts of the anime to get the most out of it, if we only want to stay in the plots that concern the conflict of DIO and the Joestar Family there are some seasons that we can skip. Still, every part of ‘JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’ It has a different protagonist and they even have somewhat different tones and genres, so they always end up contributing something and leaving us with much more chichi, details and unforgettable characters that are worth knowing.
Likewise, we are going to indicate which seasons concern the “main plot” in case you finally decide to skip one of them in the face of an extreme marathon if we want to catch up with the following episodes of the most recent season… And where to watch each season in streaming, of course.
‘Phantom Blood’
The ‘JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’ original you posted hirohiko araki and which later earned this subtitle by continuing the story with more story arcs. It begins at the end of the 19th century with jonathan joestarwhose rivalry with his adoptive brother God Brando It ends up exploding everywhere when Dio decides to completely ruin his life, his house and his family. Not only that, but by putting on a mysterious stone mask, Dio transforms into a powerful vampire capable of destroying the world..
Although the first nine episodes of the anime can be made a bit heavy and old-fashioned when adapting an 80s manga, they do they are necessary to begin to understand the basics of the story, and especially DIO’s past and his hatred for the Joestars.
‘Battle Tendency’
The second part of the anime (and which is often contained within a first season along with ‘Phantom Blood’) introduces us to Joseph JoestarJonathan’s grandson.
This new JoJo leaves behind the conflicts with DIO to face the Pillar Menancient and bloodthirsty creatures who see humanity as little more than cattle. ‘Battle Tendency‘ is one of the seasons we could technically skip, but it’s well worth it to learn more about Joseph for future seasons of the anime.
‘Stardust Crusaders’
One hundred years after ‘Phantom Blood’, the Joestars can’t shake the evil shadow of IT GAVE off, because (spoilers) it turns out that the vampire was not as dead as he seemed and has evil plans to bore.
Of course, this is one of the seasons that should not be skipped, since in addition to introducing ourselves to Jotaro Kujō like new JoJo, introduces us fully into the world of Stands and their powers, since from ‘Stardust Crusaders’ Araki decided to completely change the combat system of his manga. Perhaps it can be a bit long, but this third part of ‘JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’ is a roadtrip full of emotions that will not leave you indifferent.
‘Diamond is Unbreakable’
This is the first arc we come across that could be alien to DIO and vampires almost entirely. We do have references to some ‘Stardust Crusaders’ events and various character cameos, but ‘Diamond is Unbreakable‘ starts as a slice of life which little by little shows us that the small town of Morioh has a very dark side.
Josuke Higashikata and his friends are very normal teenagers (except for the fact that they also have very powerful Stands), although after certain events they become involved in the hunt for a ruthless serial killer who has been killing with impunity for fifteen years without anyone even knowing who he really is.
‘Golden Wind’
The second arc that we could consider “filler” if we are just sticking to the conflict with DIO, though ‘Golden Wind’ It is a real wonder and it shows that this season is the favorite in David Productionthe study that has been in charge of the anime.
‘Golden Wind’ takes place in Italy and follows the young Giorno Giovanna, who is the heir to a very dangerous bloodline. This arc revolves around Giorno, who joins a mob group known as passion and rises through the ranks as he is determined to become the group of the organization.
‘Stone Ocean’
Leaving parallel stories behind, ‘Stone Ocean‘ and its protagonist jolyne cujoh They suffer fully from the blows of DIO’s actions in the past. Jotaro Kujo’s daughter is sent to the Green Dolphin prison for a crime she didn’t commit, and she will have to deal with all kinds of enemies as she tries to stay alive.
Jolyne acquires a Stand and its powers after a series of events, soon discovering that a disciple of DIO has a whole conspiracy on his hands to take revenge on his family and fulfill the plans of his master.
