April 1999. Jotaro Kujo arrives to Morioh City in search of someone named Higashikata, and ends up running into a young man surrounded by delinquents. Jotaro then finds out that his name is Josuke Higashikata, and was exactly the person he was looking for.

Josuke spots the terrible and violent villain Angelo's Stand, and tells Jotaro about that incident. Jotaro figures it's a Stand that can somehow enter people, so he warns Josuke to not eat or drink anything until he can get to him. Right when he's told that, Josuke witnesses the Stand go into his mother, and then does the unthinkable.

Angelo's Stand ability was brought forth by the mysterious bow and arrow, and apparently they're also connected to Dio. After defeating Angelo, Jotaro thought that the danger had left the city, and tries to find the whereabouts of the bow and arrow. A few days later, Koichi is walking home with Josuke, and they pass a house that should be empty...

In order to save Koichi, Josuke goes further into the Nijimura household. Suddenly, he's attacked from many tiny beams of light. Josuke manages to dodge the attack, but it hits Okuyasu right in the face. Josuke tells Okuyasu that he'll heal his wounds if he tells him what the identity of his brother's Stand is. Okuyasu says he has no itention of telling him, and Josuke does something surprising...

Josuke and Koichi defeat Keicho. They go further into the Nijimura house, in order to destroy the bow and arrow to make sure there will be no more victims. However, they end up hearing strange noises in the dark room they happen upon. As soon as Josuke tries to jump into the room, a monster-like hand grabs Koichi's leg...

Riding his bike to school, Koichi accidentally runs over a bag that was in the road that had a cat inside. Koichi is instantly overwhelmed by what happend. Then suddenly, a man named Tamami Kobayashi appears. Despite it being an accident, he demands money from Koichi, saying that he'll use it to bury the cat. Koichi can't process what's going on, but Tamami keeps pushing that he can't just leave after what happened. Koichi is filled with guilt, and then suddenly, a giant lock pops out of his chest...

Josuke and Koichi hear from Tamami that a high school student named Hazamada might also be a Stand user, so the two go to the school and investigate. Josuke checks inside Hazamada's locker, and finds a strange wooden doll inside, but nothing else out of the ordinary. However, as Josuke is inspecting the doll, it suddenly turns into Josuke, and attacks him and Koichi...

Koichi is asked out by another student in his grade named Yukako Yamagishi. At first, he couldn't hide his joy from being asked out, but quickly has second thoughts when she suddenly loses her temper with him.

Yukako then goes to the phone to order some ingredients but then something unexpected happens...

Josuke and Okuyasu visit a brand new Italian restaurant in Morioh. Rather than customers choosing items from a menu, the chef, Tonio, decides what the customer will eat after he looks at them.

He's actually moved to tears at how delicious the water is, but then starts showing even weirder symptoms...

In order to defeat Red Hot Chili Pepper, who intends on killing Joseph Joestar, Josuke and the others head to the harbor. Jotaro believes that Red Hot Chili Pepper will try to get to Joseph's boat with something that requires a battery, so he leaves Josuke and Koichi at the harbor, telling them to attack the user if he shows himself. As Josuke is dealing with his conflicting feelings towards Joseph, the very confident user of Red Hot Chili Pepper shows himself.

Josuke and the others successfully capture Akira Otoishi and safely retrieve the bow and arrow. Peace is back in Morioh, but Josuke still faces a big problem...

Though Koichi gradually becomes frightened when he sees just how far Rohan will go to achieve reality...

Seeing that they can't get out of this situation, Josuke takes action...

Yukako, who was depressed because Koichi wouldn't look her way, sees a mysterious shop one day called Salon Cinderella.

Kira is infuriated by the fact that Koichi made a fool of him in public, and lets loose on him, but...

Josuke and the others head to the house that Yoshikage Kira used to live to try to find some clues on him. Kira had very few unique characteristics, but Jotaro comes to the conclusion that he hid all of his potential on purpose so he wouldn't stand out. They also find jars of nail clippings as well as their data in the room. Josuke is rather creeped out by this. Suddenly, the hear the Polaroid camera on the desk suddenly take a picture...

Yoshihiro successfully steals the bow and arrow from Josuke and the others and is on the run to try to find other people to make into potential Stand users to protect his son, Yoshikage. He tells the arrow to choose someone, and shoots them. Meanwhile, Rohan was at Morioh Station taking pictures of various men going to work, trying to locate Yoshikage. He tells Joseph that he wants to find him before Kira tries to kill off his new family. Then suddenly, a boy walks up to him and challenges him to janken (rock-paper-scissors).

Kira had been living as Kosaku Kawajiri ever since he stole his face, but he starts to realize just how hard it is to live controlling his urge to kill. Kira sees a woman pass by and he wants to show her his true self and strangle her slender neck. He tries to hold in his urges, but when he sees Shinobu's neck, and loses control... Meanwhile, Josuke and Okuyasu encounter a strange person in the middle of a crop circle...

Rohan has a feeling that Josuke is cheating at cee-lo, and cuts off his own pinky. If he is unable to figure out Josuke's trick in the next round, he says he will pay him 2 million yen to have him use Shining Diamond to fix his finger. But if Rohan does figure it out, he says he'll take Josuke's pinky instead. He even calls Tamami to act as a mediator, having him use his Stand ability so Josuke can't play fairly the next round, either.

Kawajiri hears from Shinobu that there is a British Blue cat in the basement with a hole in its neck. Kawajiri wonders if it was shot with the arrow, and goes down to check, however all he finds is a dead cat. Shinobu, frightened by the cat, started to swing around a broom frantically and knocks over a glass bottle. Some of the glass fragments pieced the cat, killing it. Kawajiri buries the cat in their yard, but the next day, a strange plant grew in the place where the cat was buried...

Yoshihiro looks for his missing son, Yoshikage Kira, when he spots Kosaku Kawajiri. He is convinced that he is his son, Yoshikage, and tries to get close, but the he spots Hayato taking video of him. Seeing that Rohan and Jotaro are also looking for Yoshikage, Yoshihiro fears that they'll find him, so he takes action. Meanwhile, Josuke and Okuyasu are walking to school and find a pair of binoculars on the road, which happens to be Mikitaka. He asks them to look up at an unused pylon through the binoculars and they find a man living up there!

In order to get estimates for the fire damage and restoration costs to Rohan's house, the architect, Masazo Kinoto comes by. Rohan invites him into his house, but Rohan can't help but wonder about Kinoto's odd obsession... Meanwhile, in order to save Mikitaka, who was trapped inside the pylon, Josuke fights Kanedaichi one more time. But Kanedaichi knows everything about the pylon, and has no problem dodging all of Josuke's attacks...

Rohan ends up looking at Masazo Kinoto's back, and becomes possessed by the Stand Cheap Trick. Because any attack on Cheap Trick would just come back to Rohan, he can't attack it, which puts him into a dilemma. Meanwhile, Josuke and Fungami are looking for Koichi when are approached by a young man who has a Stand who can trap anyone inside pieces of paper. He pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket, which happens to have something hidden inside...

At his wit's end with Cheap Trick, Rohan calls Koichi over to his house and asks him for help. Rohan does everything in his power not to show Koichi the Stand that's on his back, which just makes Koichi believe that he's just playing a trick on him, and Koichi leaves. Enraged by Cheap Trick, Rohan decides to finally leave his house and head for the Morioh Grand Hotel. However, the danger of having someone see his back is almost too much for him to bear...

After being cornered, Kosaku Kawajiri gets rid of Hayato. Though he made it look like an accident, Rohan and the others have spotted Hayato, and were coming to the Kawajiri household the next day to ask him some questions. At this rate, he's going to be found out and caught... Kawajiri fell into despair when suddenly, Yoshihiro's arrow suddenly stabs him...

After blowing up Rohan Kishibe with Killer Queen's third ability, Bites the Dust, Hayato is told by Kira as to what happened and returns to the same morning. He then thinks that the only people who could defeat Kira are people with abilities like Rohan, and tries to tell Rohan about Kira without getting him killed. However, Rohan blows up, even without meeting Hayato. Hayato is distraught, thinking that there's no one else who can defeat Kira when he runs into...

Hayato's plan to kill Kira with Stray Cat's air bullets failed. Kira realizes that Hayato has repeated the same morning numerous times, and realizes that it's becoming dangerous for Hayato to repeat the same morning any longer, and considers undoing Bites the Dust. Kira truly believed that fate was on his side, and then he showed up...

Josuke and Hayato try to force Killer Queen and Stray Cat into close-quarters combat by going into a nearby house. However, air bullets start to show up in the house. Josuke tries to dodge them by throwing around ash from an ashtray so he can see where they are going, but for some reasons, the air bullets keep chasing after Josuke. There's no way that Kira should be able to see them from the outside, so Josuke and Hayato start panicking...

Josuke and the others finally corner Kira. Jotaro also arrives but Kira uses Bites the Dust on a paramedic who came to help and tries to blow away time gain. He tells the woman his true identity, causing Bites the Dust to activate. The final battle in Morioh is finally reaching its end!
