Plot

The second arc takes place in 1938 and follows Joseph Joestar, the grandson of Jonathan Joestar, as he fights vampires and ancient super beings with some help from a cybernetically enhanced Nazi and the Italian grandson of Will A. Zeppeli.

Joseph moves to New York with his grandmother Erina and seems to have inherited the power of the Ripple, as he has a natural ability to use it. When old family friend Robert E. O. Speedwagon is reported dead in Mexico, Joseph takes it on himself to go check it out. His curiosity is piqued when he is attacked in New York City by Speedwagon's former ally-turned-foe Straizo, who has used the stone mask upon himself to become a vampire. After an intense battle, Straizo reveals to Joseph that a mysterious "Man in the Pillar" is about to be awakened before proceeding to kill himself by creating a Ripple within his own body. When he goes to Mexico he discovers a secret underground facility where the Nazis are trying to revive a man who seems to have been trapped in a stone pillar for 2,000 years. Here Joseph meets the Nazi Rudol von Stroheim.

The Nazis are successful in awakening the man, who is christened "Santana" before he kills most of them. Joseph and Stroheim battle Santana and manage to defeat him, though Stroheim is fatally wounded.

Joseph then heads to Rome, where three more "sleeping pillar men" have been discovered. There, he meets Caesar A. Zeppeli, a trained Ripple user near his age and who is a descendant of Will A. Zeppeli, who was the mentor of Jonathan Joestar. Caesar blames Jonathan Joestar for killing his grandfather with his incompetence. They find themselves present when the three sleeping men awaken after their 2,000 year sleep. These creatures are something like vampire gods; that created the stone mask that turned Dio into a vampire in Part 1. They are named Wamuu, Esidisi, and Kars, and their goal is to find the "Red Stone of Aja", which, when used with a stone mask, will allow them to become ultimate life forms.

As they are extremely powerful, Joseph talks them out of killing him. Wamuu and Esidisi both give him "wedding rings" which are internal time bombs set to release poison into his blood if he doesn't defeat them within a month. Joseph realizes that he'll have to train and so Caesar introduces him to his master, Lisa Lisa. She and her servants, Messina and Loggins, began to train Joseph.

However, before the month is up, Esidisi finds out that Lisa Lisa has the Red Stone of Aja and comes to take it. Joseph uses his new skills to defeat Esidisi, thus earning the wrath of Wamuu and Kars (who previously thought of him as an amusement rather than a threat). While retreating Joseph is reunited with the supposedly deceased Stroheim, who has been rebuilt by Nazi science as a powerful cyborg, but Stroheim's machine body is quickly cut in half by Kars, who uses the "light mode" (a blade that extends from his arm spins so fast that it reflects light in irregular fashion giving the illusion of a glowing sword).

In Switzerland the group discovers the location of Wamuu and Kars. Knowing their vulnerability to sunlight, everyone is eager to face them during the day except Joseph. Caesar can't accept this and he and Joseph fight. Caesar's father disappeared during his youth, growing up hating his father, he later finds him. Caesar is eager to kill his father who has abandoned him, but when following his father to the base of the Colosseum where the three monsters slept, Caesar tries to touch a gem that is embedded in the wall. His father pushes him out of the way and saves Caesar from the wall's trap. Caesar's father is quickly consumed by the flesh of the monsters in their dormant form and leaves a final message to him, telling him to inform Lisa Lisa that the three monsters in the wall will awaken soon.

Going to where Wamuu and Kars are, Caesar is soon greeted by Wamuu and they fight. It appears that Caesar has the advantage as he nearly kills Wamuu with Ripple and refracted sun light, but Wamuu quickly counters with his "holy sand storm" and Caesar loses his ability to use the Ripple. When Wamuu, satisfied with the victory, tries to leave, Caesar jumps up and tears out his lip piercing that contains the antidote to Joseph's poison ring. Before he dies from being crushed by a stone slab, Caesar uses his final Ripple to make a bubble out of his blood containing the antidote ring. Wamuu sees this but, respecting Caesar as a valiant warrior, lets the bubble float away. When Joseph and Lisa Lisa arrive too-late, Joseph finds the bubble and vows not to drink the antidote until he personally has beaten Wamuu.

Joseph then defeats Wamuu in a deadly chariot race and the final showdown against Kars begins. First keeping his promise, Kars fights Lisa Lisa and though he promised to fight her one-on-one, he sacrifices one of his weaker vampires and is able to defeat her. Angered by Kars' trickery, Joseph challenges him as looks upon Joseph as a weak Ripple user and not even worth fighting seriously. All seems lost against Kars until Stroheim (who has been repaired) and a specially trained SS kommando equipped with ultraviolet projectors which mimic the effect of sunlight on vampires arrive to help Joseph, along with the-presumed dead Speedwagon and a similarly equipped team of Speedwagon Foundation men. It is here that the reader finds out that Lisa Lisa is the biological mother of Joseph. After using the powers of ultraviolet rays of light it seems that Kars has been killed. But Kars was not only able to put on a stone mask that he had been hiding on his person, but also fused with the powers of the Red Stone of Aja and becomes the ultimate life form: able to shapeshift at will, to mimic the powers and capabilities of every known life form (be it plant or animal) and even to detach parts of his body using them a remotely controlled drones. After quick-thinking, Joseph devises a plan and sends Kars into an active southern Italian volcano. But Kars is able to cover himself in a mineralized shell-like armor and protect himself from the molten lava, and severs Joseph's hand when he reveals he has learned a version of the Ripple more powerful than Joseph's would ever be. It once again looks like the end, with Kars preparing one final blow when Joseph holds up the Red Stone of Aja just as Kars is about to strike with the Ripple. The energy flows outward, causing the volcano to erupt and send both Joseph and Kars flying into the upper atmosphere. As Kars tries to escape, Joseph bluffs one more time, giving him enough time to distract Kars just as his severed arm flies up and grabs Kars by the throat, sending him in the path of several more boulders that send Kars outside Earth's atmosphere. Kars does all he can to try to reenter the Earth's atmosphere, but his shapeshifting cannot compensate for the frigidness of outer space and he freezes solid. As the years pass, he eventually stops thinking entirely. Meanwhile, Joseph's chunk of rock descends back towards the Earth with him on it and he is assumed dead.

Weeks later, the group of Erina, Lisa Lisa, Messina, Smokey Brown, and Speedwagon hold a funeral service for Joseph Joestar, but Joseph arrives interrupting their mourning. He explains that after falling back down from the sky he ended up in the Mediterranean where he has been helped by some local fishermen. After finding and marrying Lisa Lisa's assistant, Suzi Q, he returned to America to find his friends. He is annoyed to find out that Suzi had not sent them the message informing that he was still alive. Fifty years later, in 1989, an aging Joseph hurries onto a flight to Japan from John F. Kennedy International Airport in order to visit his daughter and grandson.

Voiced by: Yoji Ueda

An ally of Joseph, and an old friend of the Joestars, also from the previous arc. During the timeskip between the arcs, Robert settled in the U.S. where he became an oil tycoon and founded the Speedwagon Foundation in order to deal with paranormal threats such as the Stone Mask and later, the Pillar Men.

Rudol von Stroheim (ルドル・フォン・シュトロハイム, Rudoru Fon Shutorohaimu)

Voiced by: Atsushi Imaruoka

Stroheim is the commander of the Nazi forces who discovered Santana in Mexico. He is responsible for not only saving the life of Robert E. O. Speedwagon, but also for trying to help Joseph Joestar defeat Santana by blowing himself up. He returns later as a cyborg to assist in the fight against Kars, by whom he is sliced to pieces. He later returns again with a squad of Nazis to aid Joseph when an army of vampires tries to attack him. Later, when Joseph takes a plane to try and send Kars into a volcano, he saves him by jumping out of the cockpit, breaking his legs as a direct result. He dies in 1943 on the front-line during the Battle of Stalingrad. While described as ruthless and slightly sadistic he lacks the mark of "total evil" which usually brands Nazis in Western popular culture (a reflection of the different cultural perception of Nazism in Japan).

Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli (シーザー・アントニオ・ツェペリ, Shīzā Antonio Tseperi)

Voiced by: Takuya Satō

The grandson of Will A. Zeppeli. He is a blond, suave ladies' man, as well as a skilled Ripple user. He was taught by Lisa Lisa, and currently lives in Italy. He is rather cool and collected, especially compared to Joseph, with whom he is grudgingly paired to fight the Pillar Men. But over time Joseph starts to grow on him so much he is able to understand his strange thought pattern. When Caesar was young his father suddenly left with no explanation. Because of this Caesar grew up hating his father thinking he was out living a new life. One day when Caesar spots him walking, he tails him with the intention of killing him. Caesar spots a jewel not knowing that it was the activation of Wamuu's trap and his father pushes him out of the way, sacrificing himself for Caesar. This leads to Caesar going ahead of the rest of the group to fight Wamuu, where he meets the ultimate fate, but not before doing his fair share of damage and ripping off Wamuu's lip piercing, sending it in a Ripple bubble for Joseph before his body is crushed by a rock.

Lisa Lisa (リサリサ, Risa Risa)

Voiced by: Atsuko Tanaka

Lisa Lisa is a youthful Ripple mistress residing on Air Supplena Island (エア・サプレーナ島, Ea Sapurēna Tō) in Venice, who is Caesar's teacher and ultimately becomes the teacher of Joseph, as well. Her training methods are brutal, and as the last remaining master of the Ripple she is in the possession of the Super Aja (スーパーエイジャ, Sūpā Eija), a perfectly cut Red Stone of Aja (エイジャの赤石, Eija no Sekiseki). When it is stolen by the Pillar Men, she tasks Joseph and Caesar to retrieve it, and she joins them with her assistant Messina, proving to be a powerful fighter in her own right. It is eventually revealed that she was the infant Jonathan Joestar saved at the end of Phantom Blood, given to his widow Erina to raise. Named Elisabeth (エリザベス, Erizabesu), was subsequently adopted by Straizo, and learned the Ripple technique from him. As a young adult, Elisabeth eventually married Jonathan and Erina's son George Joestar II, and they had one child, Joseph. George, unfortunately, had no Ripple powers, and was killed by a vampire who had served Dio Brando. Elisabeth murdered her husband's killer and burned him to ash, but he happened to be a high-ranking military official. In order to avoid retaliation, the Speedwagon Foundation helped her to erase all evidence of her existence. It is eventually revealed that she is Joseph's long-lost mother, despite her youthful appearance. She is gravely wounded in her one-on-one struggle with Kars, but manages to survive. She later tells Joseph her relation to him personally at his own supposed funeral. She eventually remarries.

Messina (メッシーナ, Messhīna) and Loggins (ロギンズ, Roginzu)

Voiced by: Hidetoshi Nakamura and Yutaka Nakano

Ripple masters as well as Lisa Lisa's servants. They trained Joseph Joestar and Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli in the Ripple technique for about 20 days, where they had to learn things such as how to breathe in for 10 minutes straight or how to breathe in 10 times in one second. Joseph Joestar and Caesar's final test had them in a Ripple match against their teachers. Joseph would fight Loggins, and Caesar would fight Messina. After a while Messina forfeited his match against Caesar, astonished that in 3 weeks, Caesar had gained more Ripple power than he had in 10 years. However, Joseph was not able to fight Loggins because Esidisi had killed him before Joseph had got to the place they were going to fight.

He is last seen after the final battle in which Joseph killed Wamuu and sent Kars into space, he attended Joseph's "funeral". Loggins and Messina are named after Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina, who were a pop/rock duo in the 70's. Loggins also had a successful solo career, recording hits like "Footloose" and "Danger Zone".

Suzi Q (スージーQ, Sūjī Kyū)

Voiced by: Sachiko Kojima

Suzi Q is the female assistant to Lisa Lisa. When she first appears she is taken over by the remains of Esidisi and attacks her friends.

Her daughter is Holly Kujo, making Part 3's protagonist Jotaro Kujo her grandson. She is named after Suzi Quatro.

Pillar Men

Four powerful humanoids that serve as the main antagonists for this story arc. The Pillar Men (柱の男, Hashira no Otoko) are an ancient race of humanoids that had extraordinary strength, intelligence and lifespan. This race once ruled the Earth, draining the life energy of other living creatures; this resulted in humans seeing them as gods and demons. However, Kars became aware of the potential of his people's brains, and aspired to unlock it through the stone mask, with which he hoped to make his people even stronger by destroying their weakness to sunlight. However, the rest of his race realized that if this were to happen, the hunger caused from the mask's influence would result in them ridding the world of all life, and so rose up against him. Kars and his ally Esidisi obliterated their clan, save for the children Wamuu and Santana. The stone masks proved to be effective on humans, which can bring out their full potential through acupuncture. However they found that although the mask worked on ordinary humans (and would turn them into vampires), its stimulation was too weak for powerful creatures like them. They needed to combine the stone mask with the Red Stone of Aja to achieve their goal of evolving into "ultimate lifeforms". Unable to find the stone, they transformed into stone pillars 2000 years ago and went into hibernation.

Santana (サンタナ)

Voiced by: Kenji Nomura

Santana is discovered in a Mexican pyramid in 1938. He is then awakened and studied by a Nazi study team in an underground base. The team, led by Stroheim, conducts live human experiments with the stone mask to try to strengthen the Nazi army. The team awakens Santana in an advanced isolation room fortified with steel plates, and conduct behavioral experiments on him. They soon find that he feeds on vampires and is able to absorb food from the surface of his body. The team is then shocked by his escape from the room as he breaks many of his own bones in order to squeeze himself into the 4-by-20cm ventilation outlet of the room, and does all this at a speed faster than human eyes can perceive. The team shoots Santana with machine guns, only to find that Santana has learned their language and the mechanisms of their weapons from only minutes of contact. He then easily disposes of the Nazis who disturbed his sleep, and even manages to stay alive after being attacked, exposed to sunlight, and blown up. He is named after the long-lived rock group Santana. Due to the fact that his regenerating remains were kept in a Speedwagon Foundation laboratory whilst permanently exposed to ultraviolet projectors, he could theoretically still be alive throughout all of the arcs.

Esidisi (エシディシ, Eshidishi)

Voiced by: Keiji Fujiwara

Esidisi possesses Mode of Flame (炎の流法（モード）, Honō no Mōdo); he raises his body temperature in order to heat his blood to 500°C and then extends his blood vessels out of his body and makes them into long, needles with which he injects his hot blood into enemies, dissolving them from within. Even if the blood isn't injected directly, it can still eat through flesh and metal if sprayed on a target from the outside. Esidisi has been shown to have an extremely erratic temper, sobbing at the sight of his own severed arm, only to calm himself near-instantly and replace it with the arm of Loggins. Esidisi had traveled to ancient China and knew Sun Tzu's theory that "all warfare is based on deception". In his battle with Joseph Joestar, he tries to intimidate him by disabling Joseph's deceptive tactics. Esidisi cuts the hidden rope through which Joseph plans to send Ripple energy to hurt him. Nevertheless, he falls for Joseph's more sophisticated deception, for Joseph has predicted his action and employed the cut-and-restore rope trick on the rope. His bones and muscles are destroyed, but his brain and blood vessels possess Suzi Q, who takes the Red Stone of Aja and sends it to Kars in Switzerland. Esidisi then prepares to turn Suzi Q into a "blood bomb", planning on pressurizing his boiling blood until her body bursts, killing himself and Joseph's group in the process. Joseph and Caesar attack Suzi Q at the same time with their Ripples canceling each other's out and keeping Suzi Q unharmed, while Esidisi is destroyed. He is named after Australian hard rock band AC/DC.

Wamuu (ワムウ, Wamū)

Voiced by: Akio Ōtsuka

Wamuu is introduced as a servant to both Esidisi and Kars. He is a very strong and honorable warrior who possess the Mode of Wind (風の流法（モード）, Kaze no Mōdo), power of the wind, and also reflexively attacks anyone who steps on his shadow. If he goes blind, he can grow a horn on his forehead and sense sound-waves with it. He can also draw air into his body and blast it through the tip of the horn, creating a highly destructive "wind scalpel". He is also extremely honorable, stopping himself from defeating a defenseless Joseph Joestar when he said that with a month to train he could beat Wamuu. Later on, he engages in battle with Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli and kills him, but not before he managed to rip off Wamuu's lip piercing containing the antidote to the poison within Joseph. In another display of honor, Wamuu allows the antidote to go to Joseph out of respect for Caesar's valiant effort. Later when Joseph challenges Wamuu to avenge Caesar, they engaged in a Roman chariot race, with Wamuu initially getting the upper hand. After Joseph managed to counter Wamuu's wind scalpel, he was left as nothing more than a head with the Ripple energy slowly killing him. After Joseph gave Wamuu some of his own blood to ease his pain, he used the last of his strength to destroy a group of vampires that attempted to kill Joseph. Wamuu then vanished in a gust of wind, with Joseph giving an unconscious salute to him. He is named after the 80's duo Wham!.

Kars (カーズ, Kāzu)

Voiced by: Kazuhiko Inoue

Kars is the leader of the Pillar Men. He is intelligent, ruthless, and single minded in his dedication to obtaining the Red Stone of Aja. Strangely, despite his apathy towards humans and willingness to kill them, he has been shown to be more compassionate for other living beings. In Switzerland, he sliced a car that was about to hit a puppy in half, and later on maneuvered himself during a long fall to miss a patch of flowers near the bottom of the cliff. Kars' power is that of the Mode of Light (光の流法（モード）, Hikari no Mōdo) - he is able to produce bladed appendages from his arms known as Brilliantly Smooth Blades (輝彩滑刀（きさいかっとう）, Kisai Kattō) and use these to reflect blinding light toward his enemies. He also has the same powers over his body that all the Pillar Men share. When he gains the power of the Red Stone of Aja in the Stone Mask, he becomes the Ultimate Thing (究極生命体（アルティメット・シイング）, Arutimetto Shiingu). He is now invulnerable to sunlight, and also gains some abilities on a genetic level - he can produce living creatures and control them, and can mutate his body into various forms. He outlasts his comrades and eventually does gain unlimited power as the ultimate "evolved" man through the Red Stone of Aja and a stone mask. In a final confrontation, he succeeds in severing Joseph's hand but is eventually blown into space by a volcanic eruption, as well as an ultimate Ripple attack from Joseph. Being immortal he does not die, but is frozen, unable to return to Earth. Trapped in the void of space for eternity, he eventually stops thinking and desires death. He is named after the 80's new wave group The Cars.
