The legendary journey of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure began with *Phantom Blood*, a captivating tale set in ancient Mexico where the Aztec people prospered. They possessed a historic and enigmatic “Stone Mask”—a miraculous artifact believed to bestow eternal life and the power of an authentic ruler. This mask mysteriously vanished, only to re-emerge in the late 19th century, weaving a curious destiny for Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando. Their lives, from boyhood to youth, were irrevocably shaped by the profound influence of the Stone Mask.
