Set around mid-1999 in Japan, Jotaro Kujo tracks down Josuke Higashikata, the illegitimate son of Joseph Joestar, to help him find a supernatural bow and arrow which grants people Stand powers. Along the way, Josuke and his friends discover that a Stand-using serial killer named Yoshikage Kira is on the loose in their hometown of Morioh, armed with an explosive Stand named Killer Queen. Josuke's group corners the murderer, but he escapes by changing his face to that of businessman Kosaku Kawajiri and assumes his identity. Though Kira gains a new ability named Bites the Dust that can create a time loop, Kosaku's son Hayato tricks him into revealing his identity, leading to his defeat by Josuke and his allies.
