How to watch Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure in order
First off, if you’re new to JoJo’s, it’s worth quickly running through the structure of the entire show: there are five seasons split into multiple parts and arcs. Each season deals with different members of the Joestar family in their fight against series antagonist Dio and his many disciples.
While there is occasionally overlap between the seasons, each one is its own separate beast. They should still be watched in order, however, as the seasons move forward through the decades in linear fashion.
The first season is split into two parts. The first nine episodes are titled Phantom Blood and take place in the 1880s, with the remaining 17 episodes forming part of the Battle Tendency arc decades later with a descendant of the Joestar clan.

The second season is a mammoth 48-episode run titled Stardust Crusaders, set in the 1980s and featuring Jotaro Kujo as one of its leads. That’s split into two 24-episode parts, though it’s collected as one 48-episode season on Netflix. The second half adapts the ‘Battle in Egypt’ arc.
The fifth and most recent season, Star Ocean, aired in three parts across 38 episodes. An adaptation of the next arc, Steel Ball Run, is expected but hasn’t yet been confirmed.
As of writing, there are 190 episodes split across five seasons. There could always be more JoJo’s on the way, though: multiple arcs from Hirohiko Araki’s manga are yet to be adapted: Steel Ball Run, JoJolion, and The JoJoLands.
Every episode of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is now streaming onNetflix, with Stone Ocean being exclusively available on the platform.
The first four seasons are streaming onCrunchyroll.
