Summary
The third part, set in 1989, follows Joseph's grandson Jotaro Kujo as he journeys across the globe in 50 days in order to save his mother from a curse. This part introduces the concept of Stands, supernatural abilities that manifest as the form of the user's fighting spirit. Because DIO has been revived, he has unlocked his own Stand, giving everyone in the Joestar family an ability as well due to their psychic connection to Jonathan's body, which DIO now inhabits. The part concludes with the defeat of DIO at the hands of Jotaro and his Stand, Star Platinum, however at the cost of losing several allies on the long journey.

Trivia

 * This is the first JoJo part to have Stands. At first they are introduced as a sort of evolution from Hamon, but it distances it from that quite a bit as the part goes on.
 * This part was possibly inspired by the novel "Around the World in 80 Days" by Jules Verne.
