JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Three separate anime adaptations exist and two of them start in the middle, and the streaming services cannot agree on what to call a season.

Where to start with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Watch the 2012 television anime from the first episode. It is the only adaptation that begins at the beginning, it covers Parts 1 to 6 in order, and it has never been out of order with itself. Ignore the OVA and the 2007 film until you have finished, if ever.

  1. 1
    Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency, 26 episodes JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood / Battle Tendency

    Two short parts in one season. Phantom Blood is nine episodes of setup that a lot of people find slow, and Battle Tendency from episode 10 is where the series becomes what it is known for.

  2. 2
    Stardust Crusaders, 48 episodes JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders

    The part everything else is measured against, and the one that introduces Stands, the power system used by every part after it. Do not start here even though two older adaptations did.

  3. 3
    Diamond is Unbreakable, 39 episodes JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable

    A change of shape: one town, a slower pace, a murder mystery rather than a journey. It follows directly from Stardust Crusaders and shares characters with it.

  4. 4
    Golden Wind, 39 episodes JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind

    Set in Italy with an almost entirely new cast, and the direct setup for Stone Ocean. Its connection to Part 3 is a spoiler, so it is best watched in place rather than skipped to.

  5. 5
    Stone Ocean, 38 episodes JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean

    The end of the timeline the first five parts share, and it settles the running conflict that began in Part 1. Netflix only, and released in three batches rather than weekly.

Then what? Then Steel Ball Run, which is Part 7 and a new universe rather than a continuation. It is airing on Netflix in batches through 2026. The 1993 OVA is only worth trying once you have seen Stardust Crusaders in the television version, and the 2007 film is effectively unavailable.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
