Stardust Crusaders is the third part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from March 1989 to April 1992.
The story follows Jotaro Kujo and his friends as they journey from Tokyo to Cairo to save his mother's life by defeating his family's resurrected archenemy, DIO.
This part introduced a groundbreaking trope in animation, each character has a power known as a 'stand' that is a manifestation of the users soul and has special abilities unique to the user.
Joseph Joestar returns in this part, he is the first JoJo to appear in more than one part and is the only character who can use hamon and a stand.
DIO's stand, The World, was originally intended to be a manifestation of every Stand.
