In the late 1800s, [[LonelyRichKid rich kid]] [[ButtMonkey Jonathan Joestar]] (a.k.a. [=JoJo=]) is introduced to a [[SelfMadeOrphan newly orphaned youth]] named [[DevilInPlainSight Dio Brando]]. Jonathan's wealthy father George takes the boy in and raises him as his own to return the favor for Dio's late father, who accidentally saved George & Jonathan after a buggy crash that killed George's wife & Jonathan's mother, Mary. However, Dio is secretly scheming to take Jonathan's place as the favored son and heir to the Joestar family fortune. He torments Jonathan throughout their childhood in an attempt to break him. When Jonathan's resolve seems insurmountable, Dio takes a new approach: building up a bond between them over many years while poisoning George. Things become complicated when Jonathan learns of these plans and confronts Dio, only for Dio to become a ''[[GenreShift vampire]]'' using an ancient stone mask that Jonathan had been researching. After a [[{{Pun}} fiery]] battle, Jonathan is informed by a man named William A. Zeppeli that Dio is still alive and plans to take over the world. He sets out on an adventure to train in the ways of [[PowerOfTheSun Hamon]] and destroy his undying foe for good.
This arc was adapted into a beat-'em-up PS2 game and a film, both titled JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood, as well as the first half of the 2012 anime.
