A little background is necessary first before the feats begin. (Warning , Contains Spoilers)
The story begins in Victorian England with young Jonathan Joestar living at his father Jorge's wealthy estate. Another young man, Dio Brando, is adopted by them having recently lost his father, Dario Brando, whom Jorge falsely believed once saved him from an accident.
Jonathan attempts to befriend Dio, but Dio's plan from the start is to drive Jojo to madness and earn Jorge's trust so that he can become the heir to the Jostar fortune. Dio violently beats Jojo in a boxing match, turns his friends against him, steals his girlfriend Erina's first kiss, and even burns his dog Danny to death in an incinerator. Meanwhile, he gains the trust of Jojo's father through his etiquette and manners.
Seven years later Jonathan's father falls ill. Dio is very attentive and brings him his medicine every day. Jonathan is suspicious as he is certain Dio is up to no good. Jonathan discovers an old letter written by Dario Brando on his deathbed requesting Lord Joestar care for Dio. In his letter, Dario describes his symptoms, which are identical to Lord Joestar's mystery ailment. Jonathan believes that Dio must have poisoned his own father and is now trying to do the same thing to Lord Joestar. Dio discovers Jonathan with the letter and Jonathan accuses Dio of poisoning Lord Joestar. Dio decides that he must kill Jonathan before he is exposed.
In order for Dio to kill Jonathan, he puts on a cursed mask that transforms its user into a vampire permanently.
This is where our story begins....
