In 1938 humanity came very close to extinction by the hands of the superior beings known as the Pillar Men, a humanoid race far beyond human capabilities. Thankfully one hero trained in the art of the Ripple technique, also known as Hamon, was able to stop them. Only two of these beings survived: one, the Ultimate Life-form, was launched into space and has wandered the solar system frozen for nearly 80 years; while the other one, Santana, has been in the possession of the Speedwagon Foundation. The company has used the body of Santana for many experiments greatly advancing medical research, but another sinister motive took over.

The Speedwagon Foundation is one of the world's most powerful and influential companies, having their hands in the oil business, medical research, environmental conservation, espionage, logistics and unbeknown to the public in ocult and supernatural research. Ever since their founding by Robert E. Speedwagon in 1910 the foundation has been a force for good, helping the founder's close friends the Joestar Family in their many strange adventures. However after the passing of Robert in 1952 the company has been controlled by its shareholders and board of directors, due to the founder having no family. Since then a dark shadow has been growing inside the company, corrupting it from the inside while it maintained its benevolent outer appearance.

Now in 2017, nearly 80 years after first getting the body of the Pillar Man Santana, these malevolent individuals inside the company have decided to make their move and betray those that it has been helping for decades: the Joestar Family. It is up to a new JoJo, one not born into the family, the heir to an old family ally, the Zeppelis, and their allies to stop the Speedwagon Foundation before they can enact their ultimate plan.

Introduction Arc - A mysterious assassin attacked the residence of Joseph Joestar, while another attacked the university dorm of Marcus Zeppeli. They were not human and showed abilities not seen in the world since 1938, the assassins were Pillar Men supersoldiers. Despite the efforts of Joseph and his bodyguard, Halim Zushari, the assassin managed to claim Joseph's life. Marcus, however, was able to defeat his opponent. After learning about the fate of her father, Shizuka Joestar headed to meet with Marcus and together with Halim and her friend Danny Doughty they tried to search for answers.

Rho Arc - The Joestar Group encountered a strange facility in upstate New York. They infiltrated it and discovered more Pillar Men supersoldiers inside. They fought their way to the security room, running into an ally, Yuusei Ran, along the way. At the security room they discovered that the SPW was behind all this. For unknown reasons they had betrayed the Joestar Family and were trying to capture Hamon users, dead or alive. The Group headed to the facility's prison and after taking down another supersoldier, they freed the prisoners. One of them joined the group, Apollo Solis, while the others joined the enemy. The Group broke into the facility's vault and took their Stand Arrow, using it to give Marcus Zeppeli a Stand. They also encountered the first enemy Stand user, but managed to defeat him. They attempted to take back Joseph's body, which was captured by the SPW, but the head scientist managed to stall them with his Stand ability long enough for reinforcements to arrive. Yuusei was captured and Halim had to stay back and fight to give the others a chance to escape. The remainder of the Joestar Group escaped the facility using its private plane and plotted a course for Tibet when they learned that the SPW was searching for a Hamon master there.
