Set in 1999, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable follows Josuke Higashikata, Joseph Joestar’s illegitimate son, who protects his hometown of Morioh from Stand-users created by a mysterious Bow and Arrow. Alongside Jotaro Kujo and friends, Josuke hunts down Kira Yoshikage, a serial killer who steals identities to live quietly. Key Plot Points: The Arrow's Legacy: Jotaro arrives in Morioh to warn Josuke about a Stand-granting arrow, which the Nijimura brothers are using to create new, often dangerous, Stand users. Growing Friendship: Josuke befriends Koichi Hirose and Okuyasu Nijimura, forming a group to investigate supernatural occurrences in the town. Yoshikage Kira's Appearance: The town is terrified by a serial killer, Kira, who uses his Stand, Killer Queen, to turn victims into dust. Identity Swap: Cornered by Josuke's group, Kira kills a man named Kosaku Kawajiri, forces a cosmetic surgeon to change his face, and adopts this new identity to escape detection. Final Battle: Kira's new wife and son (Hayato) grow suspicious. After Kira uses his "Bites the Dust" time loop ability, he is tricked by Hayato and forced into a final battle with Josuke, Jotaro, and their allies. Kira's End: Kira is exposed and, while trying to use his power again, is run over by an ambulance and killed, restoring peace to Morioh. Key stand Characteristics and Types: Combat Connection: Stands generally fight for their user, and damage dealt to a Stand is reflected on the user.
