At the end of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Part 1: Phantom Blood, Vol 1, Dio attempted to escape capture by putting on the stone mask, but he was shot several times after jumping through the window and falling to the ground. Presuming him to be dead, one of the police officers reveals he knew of Jonathan's father forgiving Dio's father for stealing his dead wife's ring, and adopting Dio to give him a chance.
But Dio is not dead, and as he raises, his wounds already healing, police officers fire their weapons, but are unable to stop Dio. An epic battle ensues, and Jonathan's incredible efforts and stamina thwart Dio's plans. Despite suffering multiple wounds, JoJo relentlessly pursues Dio through the Joestar manor, and he elaborates a trap that is ultimately successful in catching Dio and killing him.
With the manor in smoldering ruins, Speedwagon and his men take Jonathan to the hospital. Despite his wounds, Jonathan has survived the encounter with Dio, and he is reunited with his childhood love, who nurses him back to health. Under the manor, however, Dio has survived, and when someone comes to retrieve the stone mask, Dio emerges from the ruins and turns him into a zombie. Now a powerful vampire, Dio sets forth to accumulate loyal servants, acquiring Jack the Ripper as his first follower.
Having recuperated from his wounds, Jonathan meets Zippeli, a strange man who has mastered the art of breathing, allowing him to focus strength on specific points. Zippeli volunteers to train Jonathan, because he feels responsible for the stone mask ending up in Dio's hand. Jonathan is a fast learner, and he soon masters most of the techniques Zippeli showed him. On their way to a small town where Dio is rumored to be hiding, they are first confronted by Jack the Ripper, then by Dio himself, who's even more powerful than before!
