The first part of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders landed this summer and did pretty well by fans and now those that got into it through the simulcast are going to get the new season to deal with. Crunchyroll has announced that the new season, with the subtitle of Battle in Egypt, will begin streaming on their service on January 9th, 2015 at 12:30pm ET for premium members with free members getting a look at it a week later. The show will be available to Crunchyroll audiences worldwide excluding Japan.

The series stars Daisuke Hirakawa as Noriaki Kakyoin, Daisuke Ono as Jotaro Kujo, Fuminori Komatsu as Jean-Pierre Polnareff, Kenta Miyake as Mohammed Abdul and Unshou Ishizuka as Joseph Joestar. Kenichi Suzuki is serving as the series director with Naokatsu Tsuda as episode director based on scripts by Yasuko Kobayashi and character designs by Masahiko Komino out of David Production. The show is based on the original manga series by Hirohiko Araki.

Plot concept: After 30 days of travel across the world, plagued with countless battles, Jotaro and his companions have finally arrived in Egypt! Now only the strongest “Stand” users remain to rebuff our heroes’ final march on Cairo: The Nine Egyptian Gods, DIO’s most zealous servants. Will the Joestar line fall to the monstrous vampire, or can Jotaro defeat DIO and save his mother’s life?
