JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Watch Order: Following the Parts

Watch the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime in part order: Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency (2012), Stardust Crusaders (2014), Diamond is Unbreakable (2016), Golden Wind (2018), Stone Ocean (2021) and Steel Ball Run (2026). The manga follows the same parts from 1987, continuing with JoJolion and The JOJOLands. Steel Ball Run starts a different history; its earlier setting is not a reason to put it between the opening parts.

Use Release order for a first experience. Sorting calendar years alone pulls Steel Ball Run away from its place in the series' development.

Overview & recommendation

A new JoJo changes more than the lead character. Each part brings another place, kind of conflict and way of using supernatural powers, while older family history can still give an encounter its meaning.

The anime and manga revisit the same parts in different forms. Pick one telling rather than assuming every repeated title describes another event for the Joestars.

Start Phantom Blood, then Battle Tendency and Stardust Crusaders before the later parts. Follow the chosen medium's part sequence using Release order. Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan is a side visit to a character introduced through Diamond is Unbreakable, not a new numbered part to insert by an uncertain date.

The Parts in Manga and Animation Two ways to follow a changing family saga

The medium branches are not the only continuity distinction: Steel Ball Run and the later manga parts move into a different history. A shared Joestar name or town does not make every version the same person's past.

  • Anime Series (8 entries)

    The animated JoJo parts and Rohan side stories, following their own adaptation sequence; Steel Ball Run opens a different history within this medium group.

  • Manga (9 entries)

    Hirohiko Araki's original parts in manga, including the later Steel Ball Run history; calendar settings are not one uninterrupted universal biography.

Phantom Blood Before the Later JoJos 17 entries

Choose Release order to preserve the succession of parts. Read or watch the opening you choose, then keep moving through that version rather than alternating manga and anime after each title.

Calendar Years Across Different Histories 17 entries

The original parts range across generations, but Steel Ball Run's nineteenth-century setting belongs to another history. Its calendar year should not turn it into the next event after Phantom Blood.

How JoJo Changed From Part to Part 17 entries

Publication order preserves the series' changing powers, styles and relationships. It also keeps Rohan's later-created side stories distinguishable from the central part sequence.
