Synopsis

1938: Joseph Joestar battles ancient Stone Mask secrets in New York after Speedwagon's expedition vanishes in Mexico.

America, 1938. Robert E. O. Speedwagon’s foundation travels to Mexico to investigate the secrets of the legendary Stone Masks. While the expedition delves into ancient ruins, unexpected dangers emerge, setting the stage for a conflict that will ripple across continents. Meanwhile, in New York City, Joseph Joestar—grandson of the heroic Jonathan Joestar—has just arrived from London with his grandmother, Erina. Quick-tempered and brimming with confidence, Joseph soon discovers that 1930s Manhattan is every bit as hazardous as the battlefields his grandfather once faced. Armed with the mystical “Ripple” technique passed down through his bloodline, he stands ready to face whatever threats emerge from the shadows. When troubling news concerning Speedwagon reaches Joseph’s ears, the young man finds himself drawn into a sprawling adventure packed with eccentric allies, formidable enemies, and enigmatic artifacts. From bustling city streets to forgotten corners of the globe, Joseph’s journey promises action, humor, and the unearthing of secrets that could change the world.
