DownloadJo the First is a ruthless dictator who rules his country with an iron fist.
Whenever he wants something, everyone hurries to appease him.
And since complainers are permanently banished,
Jo’s terrified servants treat his every whim as a wise and noble decision.
To most onlookers, his rule appears cruel and unjust.
But his beloved son JoJo doesn’t see any issues.
This life is all JoJo's ever known,
and he never witnesses any fear from Jo’s subjects or violence against them.
