Set around mid-1999 in Japan, Jotaro Kujo tracks down Josuke Higashikata, the illegitimate son of Joseph Joestar, to help him find a supernatural bow and arrow which grants people Stand powers. Along the way, Josuke and his friends discover that a Stand-using serial killer named Yoshikage Kira is on the loose in their hometown of Morioh, armed with an explosive Stand named Killer Queen. Josuke's group corners the murderer, but he escapes by changing his face to that of businessman Kosaku Kawajiri and assumes his identity. Though Kira gains a new ability named Bites the Dust that can create a time loop, Kosaku's son Hayato tricks him into revealing his identity, leading to his defeat by Josuke and his allies.

In April 1999, marine explorer Jotaro Kujo, who uses a physical manifestation of his psychological energy known as a Stand, travels to the Japanese town of Morioh where he meets two high school freshmen, Koichi Hirose and Josuke Higashikata. Josuke uses his Stand Crazy Diamond[e] to restore destroyed objects and heal wounds. Jotaro tells Josuke that he is the illegitimate son of Jotaro's grandfather Joseph Joestar and will receive some of Joseph's inheritance. After school, Josuke encounters a convenience store robbery and steps in after the robber insults his hair. Josuke discovers that the robber was being possessed by Aqua Necklace, a Stand used by the escaped killer "Angelo" Katagiri. Aqua Necklace escapes into the sewers while threatening to kill Josuke.

Angelo uses a water pipe to get Aqua Necklace into the house so it can kill Josuke's mother Tomoko. Josuke extracts Aqua Necklace from Tomoko's body with Crazy Diamond and traps it inside a bottle. Angelo disguises Aqua Necklace as Cognac and kills Josuke's grandfather Ryohei—the man that arrested Angelo—who drinks from the bottle. Though Josuke uses Crazy Diamond to restore Ryohei's body, he cannot bring him back from the dead. Josuke and Jotaro wait out Angelo at Josuke's house for three days before realizing that he was biding his time until a rainy day. The two are overwhelmed by Aqua Necklace freely moving through puddles and steam until Josuke tricks it into entering a rubber glove he secretly swallowed. Upon finding Angelo, Josuke uses Crazy Diamond to fuse Angelo into a nearby rock.

After being fused into stone, Angelo reveals to Josuke and Jotaro that he received his Stand ability before his execution when a man in a school uniform shot him with a centuries-old bow and arrow, mentioning the name of the Joestar family's enemy, Dio. Angelo attempts to use this discussion to distract the two and attack a nearby child with Aqua Necklace. When Angelo insults Josuke's hair, Josuke completely fuses Angelo with the stone. Realizing that the bow and arrow may be what originally gave Dio his Stand, Jotaro decides to remain in Morioh to investigate. The next day, Josuke and Koichi pass by a derelict house where Josuke is jumped by Okuyasu Nijimura as Okuyasu's older brother Keicho fires an arrow through Koichi's neck. Josuke is kept from reaching Koichi's aid by Okuyasu, whose Stand The Hand can scrape away anything its right hand touches and instantly close the gap left afterwards. Josuke uses this to his advantage by tricking Okuyasu into removing the space between him and some potted plants, which launch towards him and knock him out. After Keicho drags Koichi inside the house, Josuke follows them.

As Josuke enters the house, Keicho attempts to attack him with his Stand Bad Company,[f] but hits Okuyasu when Okuyasu tries to attack Josuke from behind. Josuke quickly takes Okuyasu outside and uses Crazy Diamond to treat his wounds. Bad Company injures Josuke's hand while escaping, but Josuke cannot use Crazy Diamond's ability on himself. Josuke reenters the house and finds Koichi in a booby-trapped second floor room. Okuyasu repays the favor by closing the distance between Koichi and the door before going back outside to remain neutral. Josuke heals Koichi before the two attempt to escape from Bad Company, an entire army of toy soldiers complete with tanks and helicopters, as Keicho makes himself known once Koichi is revealed to have awakened a Stand. Keicho forces Koichi to bring out his Stand, which appears to just be a seemingly useless egg. Keicho targets Josuke again. Josuke uses Crazy Diamond's ability to fire Bad Company's own missiles back at Keicho.

Reaching the attic where the bow and arrow are, Josuke and Koichi find the Nijimura brothers' father, a former servant of Dio's who mutated into a mindless creature after Dio died[g] and the flesh buds Dio put in his head lost control. Keicho explains that he has been finding a Stand user who can kill his father, who cannot be killed by conventional means and seems obsessed with searching through an old chest. Josuke uses Crazy Diamond to restore a torn up photograph of the Nijimura family inside the chest, hinting that the father still retains memories of his old life. Just as Josuke offers to help Keicho and Okuyasu find a way to cure their father in exchange for the bow and arrow, Keicho is attacked by the electrical Stand, Red Hot Chili Pepper,[h] who steals the bow and arrow and kills Keicho by dragging him through an electrical outlet. As Jotaro receives a warning from Red Hot Chili Pepper's user not to interfere any further, Okuyasu decides to befriend Josuke and go to school with him.

Tamami Kobayashi tries to blackmail Koichi into paying for the cat he seemingly ran over with his bike. Tamami brings out his Stand The Lock to literally weigh Koichi down with guilt. Okuyasu and Josuke soon arrive to help him, but Tamami tricks Okuyasu into feeling guilty for punching him and Okuyasu falls under the thrall of The Lock. Josuke discovers that the cat was fake and heals Tamami's injuries, freeing both Koichi and Okuyasu from their locks, though Tamami gets away with Koichi's money. Upon arriving home, Koichi is shocked to find Tamami, who tricks Koichi's mother into thinking Koichi had stolen from him and puts both her and Koichi's sister under The Lock's power. Koichi's anger causes his Stand egg to hatch into Echoes,[i] whose ability is to plant literal sound effects on whatever it touches, driving Tamami crazy with repeated sounds. Tamami tries to take his revenge by tricking Koichi's mother and sister into thinking Koichi had stabbed him, aiming to drive Koichi's mother to kill herself. Koichi uses Echoes' ability to convince his mother to believe in him, freeing both her and his sister from The Lock. Tamami resigns himself to be Koichi's servant.

Tamami informs Josuke and Koichi about a Stand user in their school named Toshikazu Hazamada who allegedly caused his friend to gouge his own eye out. While investigating Hazamada's locker, Josuke comes across Hazamada's Stand Surface,[j] a wooden dummy which turns into a copy of Josuke and takes control of his movements. After seemingly defeating both Josuke and Koichi, Hazamada aims to use his Josuke copy to lure Jotaro into a trap. Having used their respective abilities to protect each other from Hazamada's attack, Josuke and Koichi use their Stands' powers to meet up with Jotaro before Hazamada and Surface. Surface takes control of Josuke and tries to have him kill Jotaro in his stead. But two bikers Hazamada had attacked on the way to the meeting place dish out their revenge after learning of his plans from Josuke.

Koichi meets with his classmate Yukako Yamagishi who confesses her love for him, but also loses her temper at the thought of being turned down. When she leaves, Koichi realizes that her hair has been left behind in his drink. The next day, Yukako becomes angered with the class representative for insulting Koichi, using her Stand Love Deluxe, which allows her to control her own hair, to attempt to burn the class rep alive. After Josuke and Okuyasu arrive to save the class rep, they warn Koichi about Yukako's Stand and encourage him to try and act like a delinquent so that she will lose interest. This plan backfires, and Yukako kidnaps Koichi and brings him to an abandoned summer villa, where she begins torturing him in an attempt to mold him into the perfect gentleman.

While looking for a way to escape, Koichi finds a nearby payphone and uses Echoes' ability to trick Yukako into contacting Josuke, which clues him and Okuyasu in on their location. As Koichi attempts to survive Yukako's fury until Josuke arrives, Echoes suddenly evolves into a new form, Echoes Act 2, which can turn the sound effects it writes into real actions when touched. Yukako endures several counterattacks from Act 2, but she is literally blown away onto a nearby cliff, which gives way underneath her. Just as Yukako falls towards some sharp rocks below, she is saved by bouncy sound effects already placed there by Koichi, turning them into harmless springs. As Koichi reunites with Josuke and Okuyasu, Yukako gains an all-new admiration for Koichi, who had saved her despite everything she had done to him.

On their way to Keicho's grave, Josuke and Okuyasu come across an Italian restaurant called Trattoria Trussardi,[k] run by Chef Tonio Trussardi,[l] who makes dishes based on the observations of his customers. Upon trying each of Tonio's dishes, Okuyasu experiences violent reactions within his body, such as his eyes being squeezed of their moisture and his teeth launching out, only to find they have ultimately benefited him by curing his various maladies. Growing suspicious, Josuke discovers that Tonio had been supplementing his dishes with his Stand, Pearl Jam,[m] and confronts him. After a brief scuffle, Josuke discovers that Tonio had only acted hostile towards him for not washing his hands before entering the kitchen. Tonio reveals that he simply wants to help his customers. He explains that he senses maladies his customers may be ailing from, and creates dishes that he infuses with Pearl Jam, which heals the customers' maladies and improves their health. Tonio then puts Josuke to work scrubbing the kitchen for his actions. Meanwhile, Jotaro meets with a representative of the Speedwagon Foundation, who informs him Joseph Joestar is on his way to Morioh.

Red Hot Chili Pepper challenges Josuke at home to see if he is strong enough to take on Jotaro and Star Platinum. Despite Crazy Diamond's show of strength and speed, Red Hot Chili Pepper shows off his own strength before retreating. The next day, Jotaro calls on Josuke, Okuyasu, and Koichi to inform them that Joseph, whose Stand Hermit Purple can potentially detect Red Hot Chili Pepper's user, is due to arrive at the port. Having heard the whole conversation, Red Hot Chili Pepper appears from Okuyasu's motorcycle's battery and attempts to escape only to be stopped by Okuyasu. Despite being severely weakened, Red Hot Chili Pepper goads Okuyasu into attacking him once more, unearthing an underground electrical cable which allows him to regain his strength. After cutting off Okuyasu's arm, Red Hot Chili Pepper drags the rest of his body into the cable. Josuke uses Crazy Diamond on Okuyasu's severed arm, which takes his body away from Red Hot Chili Pepper before he can be killed, and heals him. Josuke and Jotaro head to the port to save Joseph from the ambush.

Jotaro and Okuyasu head off to rendezvous with Joseph's ship while Josuke and Koichi stay on the docks, where they are confronted by Red Hot Chili Pepper's user, Akira Otoishi. Otoishi hides Red Hot Chili Pepper in the underground wires to launch surprise attacks on Josuke from all directions, but Josuke turns the surrounding asphalt back into coal tar, allowing him to predict Red Hot Chili Pepper's movements. Angered, Otoishi uses all the electricity in Morioh Town to power Red Hot Chili Pepper up. However, Josuke traps Red Hot Chili Pepper in a tire and tricks him into bursting out, causing the air inside to blow him into the ocean. The combination of the ocean's size and the conductivity of saltwater causes Red Hot Chili Pepper to dissolve. Otoishi survives and sneaks onto Joseph's boat disguised as a member of the Speedwagon Foundation, but Okuyasu stops him when he decides to punch both Otoishi and the real Speedwagon Foundation member. Josuke finally meets Joseph.

After buying a large amount of baby accessories with Josuke's credit card, Joseph attempts to add clothes and makeup to the baby to make her visible, only for her Stand Achtung Baby to activate when she starts crying, causing everything around her, including Joseph's hands, to turn invisible. As the baby gets more upset and her Stand's powers strengthen, her stroller rolls away into a nearby river. Joseph slits open his wrist, using his blood to help Josuke find the baby before it drowns. Josuke becomes amazed by Joseph's self-sacrifice and regrets having seen him as nothing but a burden.

Upon discovering their mutual interest in the manga Pink Dark Boy, Hazamada brings Koichi to the home of its artist, Rohan Kishibe, who gives them a tour of his studio. Koichi and Hazamada sneak a peek at Rohan's new manuscript. The moment they do this, they fall under the power of Rohan's Stand, Heaven's Door, which allows him to open their bodies like a book and read all of their secrets. After learning of Koichi's encounters with Stand users, Rohan writes a safety lock in one of Koichi's pages, preventing Koichi from attacking him. He then proceeds to take pages from both Koichi and Hazamada as material for his manga, leaving them with no memory of what just happened. That night, Koichi senses something amiss when he discovers he has lost 20kg, but suddenly forgets about it just as he prepares to inform Josuke.

As Rohan plans to keep taking pages from Koichi to inspire his manga works, the safety lock written inside Koichi prevents him from asking Josuke and Okuyasu for help. However, Josuke and Okuyasu deduce what is happening from a wound on Koichi's hand and head inside Rohan's house. Rohan uses his manuscript to put Okuyasu under Heaven's Door's power, writing an instruction that will cause him to commit suicide if Josuke tries to help him. Josuke attacks Rohan directly, closing his eyes to prevent himself from viewing his manuscript. Rohan insults Josuke's hairstyle to provoke him into opening his eyes, but this backfires as Josuke loses sight of everything in his rage. As Josuke beats Rohan to a pulp, Koichi explains that when Josuke was four years old, around the same time Jotaro and Joseph fought Dio,[g] he came down with a deadly fever. When Josuke and Tomoko got stuck in a blizzard on their way to the hospital, a student with a regent hairstyle helped them get moving, inspiring Josuke to copy his hairstyle and take offense to anyone who insults it. Josuke, still in a rage, further beats up a surrendering Rohan and wrecks his manga studio.

While pursuing Bug-Eaten, Josuke falls into a trap that they had set up for the rats and gets hit by one of Ratt's needles, though is saved by Star Platinum's time-stopping ability.

Just as they near the exit, the spirits trick Koichi into turning around, but Rohan gets both of them to safety with Heaven's Door.

Josuke and Okuyasu spot a group of hornet-shaped Stands, known as Harvest, picking up loose change from under soda machines, ATMs, and mailboxes, and chase them back to their user, a middle school student named Shigechi Yangu. Learning how much money Shigechi made just from loose change, Josuke and Okuyasu strike up a business friendship with him, using Harvest to search for discarded stickers and vouchers that can be exchanged for larger cash rewards. However, things go sour when Shigechi greedily gives the duo only a small fraction of the money earned rather than splitting it 50/50. During their search, the boys find a winning lottery ticket with a 5 million yen jackpot, a prize that Shigechi is reluctant to share with Josuke and Okuyasu.

However, when Shigechi tries to claim the prize for himself, he sets his Harvest after Josuke and Okuyasu when they try to stop him. As the two chase after Shigechi, he uses Harvest to inject alcohol into their veins, causing them to become drunk and defenseless. Outnumbered by Harvest, Okuyasu uses the lure of money to draw Shigechi close enough to take back the prize, which Josuke rips into shreds and sends into the wind in order to scatter Harvest and leave Shigechi defenseless. After a beatdown and some heavy scolding from Josuke and Okuyasu, Shigechi agrees to split the money evenly between them.

Kira goes with the severed hand of one of his victims to buy a sandwich, hiding it inside the shop's paper bag. Later, Shigechi picks up Kira's bag by mistake after a dog steals his bag. Fearing that the police will trace the hand back to him if discovered, Kira tails Shigechi in the hopes of taking his bag before he can look inside. Following him into the gym at Shigechi's school, Kira is forced to hide when Josuke and Okuyasu show up to eat their lunch as well. Kira takes the bag but is discovered by Shigechi after he uses Harvest to search for it, leading to him discovering the hand. Refusing to let Shigechi escape alive, Kira brings out his own Stand, Killer Queen.[n]

Kira uses Killer Queen's ability to turn anything into a bomb, using a coin to deal heavy damage to Shigechi. Shigechi attempts to reach Josuke, but Kira catches up to him, using a doorknob as a bomb to kill him. In his final moments, Shigechi has Harvest bring Josuke a button that came off Kira's jacket. Having seen Shigechi's soul pass by her realm, Reimi confirms to Josuke and the other allied Stand users that Shigechi was killed by the same person who murdered her, whom they quickly realize is another Stand user. A few days later, Jotaro and Koichi trace the button to a shoe shop where Kira's jacket is being repaired. Just as the shop's owner attempts to reveal his customer's name, Kira kills him using Killer Queen's second bomb, Sheer Heart Attack.[o]

Advising Koichi against recklessly chasing after the culprit, Jotaro goes up against Sheer Heart Attack, which proves to be resilient to Star Platinum's attacks. Ignoring Jotaro's warning, Koichi sends Echoes to search for Kira, only to find he can control Sheer Heart Attack from outside of Echoes' range, leaving him open to an attack from Sheer Heart Attack. Deducing that Sheer Heart Attack uses body temperature to determine its primary target, Jotaro uses a fire to lure it away from Koichi, but gets critically injured by its amplified explosion. Thinking carefully, Koichi uses Echoes' ability to distract Sheer Heart Attack while he contacts Josuke. As Koichi is once again pursued, Echoes evolves into its third form, Echoes Act 3, using its new ability to increase Sheer Heart Attack's weight and stop its movements. Feeling the weight of the attack on his left hand, Kira is forced to go off to retrieve his bomb.

While Josuke and Okuyasu make their way to the scene, Kira appears before Koichi, knocking him out of Act 3's range and undoing the gravity on Sheer Heart Attack. Taking advantage of Act 3's limitations, Kira brutally beats Koichi, who uses the opportunity to learn Kira's real name. Just as Kira prepares to finish off Koichi using Killer Queen, Jotaro stops Kira and pummels him with Star Platinum. As Josuke arrives with Okuyasu to heal Jotaro and Koichi, Kira, having failed to pass himself off as an innocent bystander, chops off his own hand to set Sheer Heart Attack loose and escape. Using Crazy Diamond's ability to have Sheer Heart Attack reunite with Kira's hand and try to rejoin his body, Josuke and the others follow it to Salon Cinderella. They discover Kira has killed Aya after forcing her to replace his face with another person, allowing him to take on a new identity and hide once again.

Josuke and the others search through Kira's house, learning that he had been keeping a record of his fingernail clippings since his murder of Reimi. Just then, a camera takes a picture of them containing the ghost of Kira's late father, Yoshihiro. Using his Stand, Atom Heart Father,[p] Yoshihiro traps Josuke and Jotaro within the confines of the photograph, with any damage done to the photo dealt to them as well. Jotaro tricks Yoshihiro into taking a picture of himself, freeing Josuke and Jotaro while trapping Yoshihiro inside a separate photograph. Yoshihiro tricks Okuyasu into setting him free, retrieving another arrow that Kira had in his possession as he makes his escape. Elsewhere, Kira begins living under the new identity of the man whose face he stole, Kosaku Kawajiri, moving into his house with his wife Shinobu and their son Hayato.

Yoshihiro uses the arrow to make more Stand-wielding allies, first using it on a boy named Ken Oyanagi. Ken then pesters Rohan to play rock paper scissors with him, losing his first match after Rohan uses Heaven's Door to figure out his move. As Ken continues to force Rohan to play rock paper scissors with him and wins his third match against Rohan, his Stand, Boy II Man,[q] appears and tries to suck in Heaven's Door. Rohan soon learns that Ken's Stand allows him to steal energy from others and keep it if he wins three times out of five, discovering that he has already gained a third of Heaven's Door's ability. Ken then wins the fourth match, gaining more of Heaven's Door's ability and evening the score. Rohan wins his third match and retrieves Heaven's Door after borrowing Shizuka the invisible baby from Joseph and having her change what Ken attempted to throw out. Ken attempts to kill himself by jumping in front of a truck, but Rohan saves him, convincing Ken to stop using his Stand for evil.

Josuke and Okuyasu come across a peculiar person named Mikitaka Hazekura, who claims to be an alien named Nu Mikitakazo Nshi. Believing his claims to be a joke, Josuke initially suspects Mikitaka of being a Stand user when he exhibits some strange abilities. However, upon being distressed by the sound of sirens, Mikitaka suddenly transforms his body into a pair of sneakers and flees with Josuke, who suspects Mikitaka might not be a Stand user as he cannot see Crazy Diamond. Looking to take advantage of Mikitaka's shape-shifting ability, Josuke has him transform into some dice and challenges Rohan to a game of Cee-lo in the hopes of winning some money. As the match begins, Josuke grows worried when Mikitaka seems to get suspiciously ideal rolls.

Becoming suspicious of Josuke's winning streak, Rohan stabs his own finger while staking two million yen against Josuke's finger to determine how he is cheating, calling Tamami as an official to prevent Josuke from playing normally. Just as Mikitaka becomes unnerved by sirens and starts to lose his transformation, Rohan is distracted upon discovering he had accidentally set his house on fire, allowing Josuke to escape without being discovered. Meanwhile, Hayato uses hidden cameras to spy on Kira. The next day, while riding a bus through the Futatsumori Tunnel with Josuke, Rohan spots a window to a room revealing a man cutting off a woman's hand, believing it to be Kira. Returning to the tunnel, Rohan discovers the room is an illusional trap. A nutrient-sucking Stand named Highway Star[r] attacks Rohan. When Josuke comes to the tunnel, Highway Star tries to use Rohan to lure Josuke into his room so he can track his scent. As Josuke ignores Rohan's warnings and enters the room, Rohan sends him flying out of the tunnel, urging him to flee from Highway Star and find the Stand user.

Believing there is a connection between Highway Star's user and the tunnel, Josuke contacts Koichi, who suspects the user is someone hospitalized from a traffic accident stealing nutrients to heal himself. While Josuke makes his way to the hospital while keeping ahead of Highway Star, Koichi identifies the Stand user as Yuya Fungami. Despite being caught by Highway Star upon reaching Yuya's room, Josuke recovers his nutrients with an IV drip and heals Yuya's injuries so he can mercilessly pummel him without any guilt. Meanwhile, at the Kawajiri household, Shinobu finds a cat hanging around the basement.

Upon discovering the cat has a hole in its throat, Shinobu sends Kira down to the basement after being unable to force the cat out. Shinobu learns she accidentally killed the cat when it got stabbed by glass shards. After being buried in the garden, the cat reincarnates as a strange plant known as Stray Cat, gradually piecing together what happened while learning it can manipulate compressed air. Stray Cat attempts to get revenge on Shinobu with Kira nearly getting himself killed. Kira appeals to Stray Cat's feline nature, and hides it in the attic after seeing its potential use to him. The next day, Hayato is attacked by Stray Cat when he exposed it to sunlight while investigating the attic. Hayato puts Stray Cat back to sleep and hides before being discovered by Kira, realizing the man is not his real father.

Yoshihiro, recognizing Kira in his new appearance, notices he is being followed by Hayato. Later, on July 15th, Josuke and Okuyasu come across Mikitaka, who spots a Stand user named Toyohiro Kanedachi living on an electrical pylon. When Josuke spots Yoshihiro with him, he steps inside the pylon and falls under the spell of Kanedachi's Stand, Super Fly, becoming trapped inside until someone else takes his place. Josuke and Okuyasu attempt to destroy the pylon, only to discover it reflects out any damage it receives. Wanting to help, Mikitaka confronts Kanedachi, helping Josuke to escape but becoming trapped himself. Meanwhile, as something troubling happens in the Higashikata household, Rohan, who had noticed Hayato's behavior, is approached by a strange man.

Rohan is greeted by Masazo Kinoto, an architect sent to evaluate the damages done to his house, using Heaven's Door to find nothing suspicious besides an aversion to people looking at his back. Meanwhile, Josuke climbs up the pylon to rescue Mikitaka and confront Kanedachi, who uses calculative cuts on the pylon to attack Josuke from all angles. Josuke uses Crazy Diamond's healing ability to send the bolts of energy back to their origin and defeat Kanedachi. Resigning himself to stay inside the pylon, Kanedachi reveals that he heard Yoshihiro say that another Stand user has allegedly eliminated Koichi. Enlisting Yuya's help in tracking Koichi's scent in exchange for healing his injuries, Josuke encounters the Stand user, Terunosuke Miyamoto, who suddenly disappears and is replaced by an unconscious Tomoko. Unbeknownst to Josuke, Miyamoto had used his Stand Enigma[s] to turn Koichi and Tomoko into pieces of paper after witnessing their tics when they are afraid, and is now waiting to observe Josuke's tic.

Overcome by his curiosity, Rohan lays a trap for Kinoto so he can see his back. The moment he does, Kinoto dies from his back ripping open as his self-aware Stand Cheap Trick[t] attaches to Rohan's back. Cheap Trick proceeds to hassle Rohan into burning the Kira suspect photos. Meanwhile, Miyamoto reveals that he has trapped Koichi in a piece of paper and traps Josuke after goading him into biting his lower lip. Despite initially not wanting to get involved, Yuya is moved by Josuke's resolve and goes after Miyamoto, encountering several paper-hidden traps that eventually culminates in a shredder that threatens to shred both Josuke and Koichi. Despite being overcome by fear and falling under Enigma's power, Yuya takes advantage of his paper-like state to reach into the shredder and free Josuke and Koichi. Receiving a pummeling from a vengeful Josuke, Miyamoto is trapped in the form of a book which Josuke later donates to the library.

Unable to get Koichi to take him seriously without risking either of their lives, Rohan attempts to reach the Morioh Grand Hotel without letting anyone see his back despite Cheap Trick's antics. Cheap Trick attempts to get several cats and dogs to attack Rohan and see his back, only for the animals to be shooed off by Koichi as he eventually believes Rohan's story. Koichi tries removing Cheap Trick using Echoes Act 3, only to discover that doing so will damage Rohan's back as well. Despite appearing to have gone insane as he shows his back to Koichi, Rohan reveals they are in Ghost Alley with Cheap Trick dragged away by the spectral hands with Rohan hoping the Stand ends up in Hell. Meanwhile, Hayato witnesses Kira killing a couple with his ability and catches it on film, something that Kira is quick to notice. Kira confronts Hayato and prepares to kill him, only for Hayato to reveal he has set up various cameras and videotapes that would threaten to expose his identity if Kira attempts to kill him or his mother.

An infuriated Kira inadvertently kills Hayato in a manner that would not look like an accident. Yoshihiro then appears and reveals that Rohan and the others now consider Kosaku Kawajiri a suspect and plan to visit. Yoshihiro's arrow senses Kira's anxiety and impales him of its own will, entering his body while giving Killer Queen a new ability. The next morning, Hayato appears alive and well, believing he had a nightmare of being killed while noting Kira being strangely confident enough to reveal his true name as the man indirectly reveals the other Stand users' existence. While Hayato is on his way to school, Rohan reads his memories with Heaven's Door, ignoring a warning as he reads events that occur within seconds before reaching the page revealing Kira's identity. Rohan falls victim to the bomb Kira implanted in Hayato, Bites the Dust, which kills anyone who learns about Kira's identity through Hayato. As Rohan explodes, Hayato suddenly finds himself sent back in time to an hour earlier due to Bites the Dust's effects and realizes he is trapped in a time loop.

Realizing he is in a time loop, Hayato attempts to keep his distance from Rohan. But Kira, deducing that Hayato was already subjected to Bites the Dust, explains how he used his Stand's new ability to avert Hayato's death and make him the means of getting rid of his pursuers. Kira also reveals that anyone killed by his Stand's ability in the previous time loop still dies and that canceling the ability after such a death makes the event permanent, with Hayato forced to watch Rohan still explode. Hayato tries to avoid Josuke, Jotaro, Koichi, and Okuyasu when they arrive, but his forced suicide attempt is prevented by Killer Queen as he set up Bites the Dust. Ending up back in his room at 7:30 AM, Hayato realizes the only way of saving Josuke's group and his mother is by killing Kira or forcing him to cancel Bites the Dust before Rohan's death. Hayato hides Stray Cat while intending to use his knowledge of events to catch Kira off guard, but Kira protects himself from Stray Cat's attack with a watch he had put in his jacket earlier.

Hayato secretly calls Josuke to arrive a bit early while tricking Kira into exposing himself as a murderer. This forces Kira to cancel Bites the Dust in time to protect himself from Josuke, with Rohan's life saved as Okuyasu arrives. Despite being outmatched, Kira takes advantage of Hayato bringing Stray Cat and places it in Killer Queen's body so his Stand can create invisible remote bombs with Okuyasu taking heavy damage. Josuke tries to reach Okuyasu and heal him, but Hayato deduces that Kira turned him into a bomb with Josuke conflicted over sacrificing himself to save Okuyasu. Deducing that Kira can only set off one bomb at a time, Hayato sets off the bomb on himself. Josuke quickly restores Hayato and heals Okuyasu who seems to have died. Josuke refuses to accept Okuyasu is dead as he uses Crazy Diamond on the road debris in his wounds to dodge Kira's air bomb as he and Hayato retreats into a nearby house, with Kira deeming Josuke as a true threat to himself.

Kira figures out Josuke's location in the house while Josuke is badly wounded after being caught in an explosion. However, Josuke uses his hardened blood on a vase fragment to turn it into a homing bullet that hits the area on Kira's body with Josuke's blood on it. Josuke then notices Kira using a cell phone and realizes Yoshihiro had been hiding in Hayato's pocket to relay their position. Josuke tricks Kira into killing Yoshihiro by stealing the latter's phone, causing an explosion that attracts Kira's attention. Josuke then draws Kira into a close-quarters fight, but Stray Cat protects Kira from Crazy Diamond's attacks. While Josuke is about to be hit by an air bomb, Okuyasu suddenly appears and snatches Stray Cat from Killer Queen. Kira is driven into a corner as Jotaro and the others arrive alongside emergency vehicles responding to the explosions.
