JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 3: Stardust Crusaders 2nd Season Review
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders 2nd Season concludes the globe-trotting epic that began in its first season. The daring Joestar crew, accompanied by their mysterious Stands, undertakes an exciting expedition across different countries in order to save their beloved Jotaro’s mother, Holly, from a deadly curse. Her life is put at risk when a centuries-old vampire DIO, bearing unprecedented Stand abilities, awakens from his long sleep.
The trip, initially hitched upon by Joseph Joestar and his grandson Jotaro Kujo, takes an unexpected forbidden twist.

Each character adds depth to the story, but they all share one common goal; to defeat DIO and save Holly Joestar.
