Early Life

Stardust Crusaders
Jotaro's Stand, Star Platinum awakened while he was at high school. He was afraid that he might be possessed by an evil spirit and decided to lock himself in a prison cell. His mother Holly called Joseph to explain the phenomenon.
At school, Jotaro discovered that Noriaki Kakyoin was the wielder of the Stand Hierophant Green. Jotaro defeated Kakyoin and removed Dio's mind-control parasite from him. Kakyoin then joined Jotaro to confront Dio.
Later, Holly developed a plant-like Stand. She wasn't strong enough to wield it and it started eating away at her life. Joseph explained that Dio Brando, an ancient enemy, has awakened to his Stand as well. He explained that defeating Dio will remove the Stand from Holly. Thus Jotaro, Joseph, Kakyoin, and Muhammad Abdul decided to travel to Egypt to defeat Dio.
At Hong Kong, the group met Jean Pierre Polnareff who wields the Stand Silver Chariot. Muhammad Abdul dueled him and won. Polnareff wanted to die as a warrior but Abdul recognized Polnareff's chivalry. Jotaro removed the mind-control parasite from Polnareff as well. Polnareff then joined them to confront Dio.
At the Nile River, the Speedwagon Foundation sent them another ally in the form of the dog Iggy, wielder of The Fool.
Finally at Cairo, Egypt, the group confronted Dio. Dio brought the fight to the streets. When Dio attempted the final attack on Jotaro by dropping a steamroller, Jotaro discovered his ability to stop time to escape from under the steamroller. He then landed the fatal blow on Dio, killing him for good.
