The first part, Phantom Blood, is set in the early-to-late 1880s. George Joestar takes in the orphan Dio Brando to pay off a debt to Dio's late father Dario.

With Will A. Zeppeli, a master of a supernatural ability called Hamon, and former street thug Robert E.O. Speedwagon at his side, George's son Jonathan trains in Hamon and stops Dio who is left aboard an exploding ship after he mortally wounds Jonathan.
