It’s truly bemusing to watch something which offers no discernible ramifications for the outcome of its narrative, attempt to create real drama and meaningful characterization. There exists an almost beautiful harmony within JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure where the show never pretends to operate by any conventional sense of storytelling or action and yet the show takes itself incredibly seriously. The show itself is quite absurd. It isn’t characterized by rapid pacing or a reckless abandonment of its plot but rather by its exceedingly flamboyant nature and irrational behavior. With each event and outlandish development, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure proves time and time again that its title is, if nothing else, undeniably appropriate. An archaeological dig unearths ancient beings of incredible power called the Pillar Men who are mysteriously linked to the Stone Mask and vampires of his family’s past.
After the resolution of that story, the legacy of the Joestar family resumes some 50 years later in New York City and details the adventures of Joseph Joestar ( Sugita Tomokazu).
It then falls to Jonathan and his allies to stop Dio and his plans for world domination. After Jonathan circumvents his schemes, Dio resorts to using an ancient Stone Mask which transforms him into an immortal vampire. Dio endeavors to maliciously ruin Jonathan’s life and supplant him as the rightful heir of the Joestar family. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure chronicles the extraordinary tale of the Joestar family and its decedents throughout the years. The story begins in the late 1800’s in Great Britain when an adolescent Jonathan Joestar ( Okitsu Kazuyuki) first encounters his rival Dio Brando ( Koyasu Takehito), after his adoption into the family.
