Nightmare

Jotaro is woken by an unusual dream from his stand- a stand that's seemed strangely sapient and independent ever since it first appeared.

Time's Running Out

Trapped in Dio's mansion, a young Polnareff struggles to keep Jotaro alive as things begin to fall apart.

Jonathan's No Good Very Bad Evening

George is frankly, the worst, yet Jonathan remains convinced it's all his fault. Thankfully, Dio's there to help- or at least try to.

Hungry Hungry Dhampir

Giorno finally, finally, gets to feed his vampiric side, with a little help from Buccarati.

Reuinited

Josuke remembers all too keenly finding Koichi dead by the time he reached Centipede Shoes. Upon finding out that Koichi might not be gone for good, he’s ready to accept his friend back with open arms, no matter what form he might now take.

Take a break, dumbass

Neither Jonathan nor Dio are having the best time during the leadup to Christmas- but hey, at least they have one another. (And Dio’s willing to kill to keep it that way.)

Finger Food

The gang discusses some of Bruno’s more recent habits, and how they relate to their strange new teammate.

Flight with Broken Wings

A young Jotaro, Kakyoin, and Polnareff make an attempt to flee Dio’s mansion together- but Jotaro’s stand sickness is getting worse, and they’re running out of time.

Home Again

After being kidnapped by Dio and being trapped in his mansion for months, Josuke finally returns home.

Almost There

Time’s running out for Jotaro. Holly and the crusaders are agonizingly close. It’s down to the wire as Jotaro’s life hangs in the balance.

For The Both Of You

Jonathan throws himself between his brother and his beloved to keep them from killing one another, only for the attacks he just blocked to nearly kill him instead.

A Sun All My Own

Whamuu understands the hamon warrior’s request that he not harm any humans whilst with them. It is a perfectly reasonable request- especially given how long a pillarman can ordinarily go without eating with no ill effects. (These aren’t exactly ordinary circumstances.)

I Won't Let You Face The Night Alone

Whamuu and Caesar have a much needed heart to heart in the wake of Joseph’s (presumed) death.

You'll Be Home By Dawn

After everything, Joseph finally makes it back home.

An Echo of Silence

Caesar is deeply worried by how cold and distant Joseph’s been acting. Meanwhile, Giorno is decades in the past, in a body not his own, and struggling to hold it together in front of a woman who reminds him far too much of his own mother as their hamon training ramps up to brutal intensity.

So This Was A Bad Idea

So, how do you deal with Purple Haze with no stand to back you up? Well, in theory, healing fast enough to counteract the damage could work. And Joseph’s gotten very good at hamon healing. This is a terrible idea.

Inherit The Curse

The fight against Dio is won without any deaths- (at least nobody we care about) -but not without consequences.

With No Hope Remaning

Once this is all over, everyone will be sent right back to the end of their adventure. But for Jonathan, that means an inevitable and inescapable doom lies in wait. And he can only act unaffected for so long.

What We Found In The Ashes

Jonathan wakes up, rescued by two unfamiliar and inhuman individuals after everything he’s known burned- and wonders if it might not be so bad to stay with them.

Hollow

The Sex Pistol’s connection to Mista has always been slightly off, compared to other stands. It isn’t until after all six get taken out at once that the gang starts to see just how deep it goes.

By Your Side Til The End

When Jolyne finally manages to rescue her father’s stand disk, Star Platinum turns out to be so much more than she was expecting.

Catching it with your face (Is generally a bad idea)

Babyface is a much harder fight when without a healing ability as powerful as Golden Experience. Not being able to see your opponent certainly doesn’t help either.

A Butterfly In The Dark

Air Supplena and Lisa Lisa’s strictness are doing Giorno no favors. Everyone tries to help.

A Shift In Perspective

Jotaro wakes up in an unfamiliar place, in someone else’s body. He and Tomoko try to figure things out.

Jotaro Goes Apeshit and We're All Confused

Jotaro immediately senses something’s wrong after Bruno delivers Trish to the Boss. Nobody can quite make sense of the resulting battle.

Bloodstained Jaws (and Gentle Paws)

Speedwagon sees a terrifying new side to his closest friend, and offers some sorely needed comfort.

Blood In The Water

Jotaro transforms to defeat Deep Blue Moon, and the Crusaders not part of the Joestar lineage get to see the bloodline’s transformation abilities for the first time.

A Serpent's Embrace

The rings of death make Joseph’s transformations agonizing, forcing him to remain trapped in human form. The full moon, however, won’t give him that option- and Caesar’s still in the dark.

A Wraith In Chains

After the Stardust Crusaders split up to do some shopping, Avdol and Joseph are tailed by a cloaked stand user- who turns out to be someone from deep in Joseph’s past.

While We Were Gone

Jonathan, Whamuu, and Santana find a cave once inhabited by pillarmen. Jonathan puts his archaeology skills to use, and Santana makes a discovery of his own. Whamuu is left to think about what’s next.

Freely Given

Jonathan, in Jolyne’s body, runs himself ragged trying to do his best for all the inhabitants of the Green Dolphin prison. Him getting sick was practically an inevitability. But with danger lurking around every corner, actually treating it is no easy task.

Ashes of Our Past

Between watching his own childhood home burn, his only childhood companion dying in fiery agony, and the flames surrounding him on his own death, Jonathan has been terrified of fire ever since he awoke as a stand. All it takes is just the wrong stand battle to violently drag that terror to the surface.

Her Son

He may not be hers by blood or by egg, but in every way that matters, he is still her son - her clever tricksy son - and she will always protect him, as a mother should.

Each chapter will list potential triggers to watch out for in that chapter specifically.
