Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure begins in 19th century Britain with Jonathan Joetar and his adoptive step-brother Dio. Naturally, Dio turns out to be evil and steals the mysterious stone mask of the Joestar family that turns him into a kind of immortal vampire. The generations of Jojos that come after him are all tied together by the Joestar legacy of fighting against Dio or some kind of evil and of course, the Joestar birthmark – The Star.
The Seasons of Jojos Bizarre adventures in order are Phantom Blood (Jonathan Joestar), Battle Tendency (Joseph Josetar), Stardust Crusaders (Jotaro Kujo), Diamond is Unbreakable (Josuke Higashikata), Golden Wind (Giorno Giovanna), Stone Ocean (Joelyn Kujo), Steel Ball Run (Johnny Joestar) and finally Jojolion (Higashikata Josuke).

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean is set to premiere on Netflix has been given an official synopsis by the platform:
Florida, U.S.A, 2011 After an accident while on a drive with her sweetheart, Jolyne Cujoh falls into a trap and is sentenced to fifteen years. She is sent to the state-run maximum-security correctional facility Green Dolphin Street Prison—AKA “the Aquarium.” On the verge of despair, she receives a pendant from her father that causes a mysterious power to awaken inside of her.
“There are things in this world that are more terrifying than death, and what’s happening in this prison is definitely one of them.” A message from a mysterious boy who appears before Jolyne, inexplicable events that occur one after another, the horrifying truth told to her by her father when he comes to visit, and the name DIO… Will Jolyne ultimately be set free from this stone ocean they call a prison? The final battle to end century-long fateful confrontations between the Joestar family and DIO begins!
The return of Dio is always inevitable. The Joestars are yet again supposed to face off with Dio’s Evil and if it wasn’t evident enough, her father is Jotaro Kujo, seen before in Stardust Crusaders and Diamond is Unbreakable. The trailer also has the awakening of Jolyne’s Stand: Stone Free. The action adrenaline elements of Jojo never fail to impress!
Jotaro comes to free her from her imprisonment, but there are other sinister powers at play. The curse on the Joestars is still alive.
