How to watch Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure in order

First off, if you’re new to JoJo’s, it’s worth quickly running through the structure of the entire show: there are five seasons split into multiple parts and arcs. Each season deals with different members of the Joestar family in their fight against series antagonist Dio and his many disciples.

While there is occasionally overlap between the seasons, each one is its own separate beast. They should still be watched in order, however, as the seasons move forward through the decades in linear fashion.

The first season is split into two parts. The first nine episodes are titled Phantom Blood and take place in the 1880s, with the remaining 17 episodes forming part of the Battle Tendency arc decades later with a descendant of the Joestar clan.

The second season is a mammoth 48-episode run titled Stardust Crusaders, set in the 1980s and featuring Jotaro Kujo as one of its leads. That’s split into two 24-episode parts, though it’s collected as one 48-episode season on Netflix. The second half adapts the ‘Battle in Egypt’ arc.

Still with us? It gets far simpler from here. The third (Diamond is Unbreakable) and fourth (Golden Wind) seasons are both 39 episodes long and can be watched from start to finish as normal. They are set in 1999 and 2001 respectively.

The fifth and most recent season, Star Ocean, aired in three parts across 38 episodes.
