The arc begins with Jotaro Kujo looking for him, as Josuke is the illegitimate son of Jotaro's grandfather Joseph Joestar.

Josuke is confronted by Jotaro to eradicate evil Stand users from his hometown, Morioh. He refuses at first, believing that it is not any of his business to worry about the threat posed by other Stand users. However, he quickly changes his mind when his grandfather is killed by Angelo, a career criminal and murderer gifted with a Stand. They track down and fight several Stand users in order to retrieve the Bow and Arrow, the object that creates Stand users. But eventually they learn of a serial killer Stand user, and after he kills one of their friends, vow to find him.

But when he saw that Joseph was willing to give up his own life to save a baby he just found, Josuke's attitude changed.

First was when he met Fatty and came up with a plan to get money and other things from all over Morioh Cho.

Finally was at the end when he used Crazy Diamond to 'restore' a piece of a picture his father gave him to steal his wallet.

However, when they do he mercilessly pummels them, as he wears it to honor a man with that hairstyle who saved both his mother and him in his youth.
