is the eighth main story arc of the Japanese manga series ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. Set in Japan in 2011, it follows Josuke Higashikata, a young man afflicted by retrograde amnesia, in his search to uncover his identity in Morioh Town, a coastal Japanese town affected by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. However, his digging pulls him and his adoptive family into the unfinished business between his previous life and an impending inhuman threat. It was serialized by Shueisha in the manga magazine Ultra Jump'' from May 2011 until August 2021, and has been collected in 27 volumes.

==Plot== Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, anomalous formations known as the Wall Eyes emerge near the coastal town of Morioh. These structures possess the ability to exchange traits between objects buried within their vicinity and occasionally awaken Stand abilities in individuals. Yasuho Hirose, a local college student, discovers an amnesiac young man buried beneath the Wall Eyes and temporarily names him "Josuke". Together, they endeavor to uncover his lost memories and true identity. While Yasuho investigates possible connections between Josuke and a missing ship doctor named Yoshikage Kira, she entrusts his care to the Higashikata family. Upon visiting Kira's ailing mother, Holy Joestar-Kira, Yasuho gathers clues that eventually lead Josuke to realize he is a fusion of Kira and another individual.
