Summary
Rubber Soul begs for Jotaro Kujo to spare him. In exchange for this, Jotaro asks him about the other stand users coming after the group, but Rubber Soul refuses to sell out his comrades and hurt his pride. Jotaro congratulates Rubber Soul for being a good and honorable man and prepares himself to beat him more, but the enemy quickly changes his mind and tells the 4 Tarot Cards they represent: Death; Emperor; Hanged Man and Empress. Jotaro demands information on their powers, at which Rubber Soul says that no one shows his stand power to anyone, not even if they are fighting at the same side. He does, however, inform Jotaro that a prophetess told Dio everything about the stands and that her son, the man with two right hands, is Sherry Polnareff's killer and the representative of the Tarot Card "Hanged Man", as well as rumors say that his stand Hanged Man uses mirrors. Rubber Soul uses Jotaro's distraction to attack him with Yellow Temperance through a manhole, which connects itself to a water hole. He grows even bigger assimilating lobsters and boasts about his luck. Jotaro decides to show him "his true luck" by blocking the water hole with his fist, which sends the water pressure back at the manhole and Rubber Soul, which is send flying back at the water. He begs Jotaro for mercy once again, explaining how he was just joking. Jotaro, speechless, simply says how pathetic Rubber Soul is and procceds to pummel him with a barrage of "oraora" punches from Star Platinum. Now inside a train going to India, the group discusses if the Runaway Girl is with her father and how lonely they will be without her. The real Noriaki Kakyoin wonders how someone managed to disguise as him and asks for Jotaro's cherry. When he picks it up, he starts licking it while doing "rerorero" sounds. Bothered by how Rubber Soul did the same thing earlier, Jotaro remains silent. At the background, the Runaway Girl is shown sleeping on the train, having snuck him there to follow the group.

Publication
Volumes are published in English by VIZ Media, and in Italian by Star ComicsW.
English Language Edition
Stardust Crusaders was the first part to be officially released in English. The series is edited by Jason Thompson, author of Manga: The Complete GuideW.
Some names were altered for the English release, presumably for copyright reasons. Additionally, the character Devo was changed entirely.
[citation needed]
Minor edits were made to artwork where certain scenes of animal violence were redrawn by Hirohiko Araki for the English release. Japanese volume 15 (English volume 3) featured a single panel of a dog being decapitated which was redrawn from an alternate angle, and Japanese volume 18 (English volume 6) has several redrawn panels where a mutilated dog was changed into a large rat.
Due to a controversy regarding one scene involving DIO apparently reading the Qur'anW in the OVA, Viz Media and Shueisha paused publication for a year, even though the manga did not feature that specific scene. However, Shueisha had Araki (or his assistants) redraw scenes that depicted characters fighting on top of or destroying buildings resembling mosquesW. Viz resumed publication on April 7, 2009, with Volume 11.

Trivia
- This story was initially titled "Dai San Bu Kūjō Jōtarō: Mirai e no Isan" / "第三部 空条承太郎 ―未来への遺産" / (lit.) "Part 3 Kūjō Jōtarō: Heritage for the Future".
- Stardust Crusaders contains the most popularly known characters and episodes of the series; introducing JoJo's distinctive Stand phenomenon, and the emblematic protagonist Jotaro Kujo.
- Many characters were not named until the release of additional materials like the artbooks.
- Araki describes the basis for Part 3 as like a board game, traveling between a series of stops; and further inspiration from the film Around the World in 80 Days.[2]
- While he began plotting for this part, Araki first pitched it as a modern retelling of Dracula. There was only one person in the room who thought it was a good idea; the rest were utterly confused. His editors told him to have at least one Japanese character/story arc prior to this part, as they felt the story had too many foreign characters and settings for the comic's target audience.[3]
- Part 3 is the last part to feature any vampires or the Ripple ability.
