Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century England, this series follows the burgeoning rivalry between Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando. Jonathan, raised in privilege, finds his world disrupted by Dio’s arrival and the unsettling revelations surrounding his past. Their contrasting natures quickly solidify into a deep-seated antagonism, fueled by a shared pursuit of an enigmatic stone mask – an artifact steeped in forgotten history and possessing unusual power.

The narrative explores themes of inheritance, morality, and the corrupting influence of ambition. As their conflict escalates, Jonathan must confront not only Dio’s cunning but also the dark legacy connected to his own family. The story unfolds with a grounded sense of period detail, blending elements of historical fiction with escalating physical confrontations and psychological tension. It offers a character-driven exploration of good versus evil, framed by an increasingly improbable power dynamic.
