Synopsis:

The life of high school student Kujo Jotaro is irrevocably altered by a bewildering experience that leads him to self-imposed confinement. His world expands dramatically with the arrival of his grandfather, Joseph Joestar, and the enigmatic Muhammad Abdul, revealing a hidden power within Jotaro himself – a manifestation of his fighting spirit known as a Stand, Star Platinum. This newfound ability is soon intertwined with a family tragedy: Jotaro’s mother falls ill after developing her own Stand. Unraveling this mystery, Jotaro discovers the resurgence of Dio Brando, a powerful vampire whose defeat had occurred generations prior. Driven by a sense of responsibility and fueled by a desire to protect his loved ones, Jotaro joins forces with Joseph and Abdul on a journey to Egypt, confronting a threat that spans a century and challenges the very nature of existence. The narrative explores themes of legacy, inherited power, and the burden of protecting those closest to us.
