After seeing his grandfather, Joseph Joestar, and fighting Joseph's friend Muhammad Abdul, Jotaro learns that the "Sprirt" is actually Star Platinum, his Stand, or fighting energy given a semi-solid form. Later, his mother gains a Stand, and becomes sick.

In order to keep the story in chronological order, the North American release begins with the second OVA (episodes 1 through 7) which came out in 2000, and then moves on to feature the first OVA (episodes 8 through 13) which came out in 1993, because the first OVA covers the second half of the story and the second OVA covers the first half of the story.
