Plot
Like Eyes of Heaven, Return of Heaven features an original storyline based on all 8 parts of JoJo's Bizzare Adventure.

The game begins in the Steel Ball Run timeline in 2012 just after the events of Jojolion. Josuke Higashikata and his allies are suddenly attacked by a group of enemies that were previously defeated. After defeating them, they are then approached by a 29 year old Jotaro Kujo from the original universe who tells them that something has been causing trouble across the multiverses of reality itself. He believes that when he defeated the heinous vampire Dio, he and his loyal disciple Enrico Pucci had somehow survived the attack. Using the Corpse Parts that he has gained from a young Robert E.O Speedwagon, he asks Josuke and his allies to help him on his journey.

Fighters from all 8 parts appear in the game as the protagonists travel through time and space including Jotaro's younger Grandfather Joseph Joestar, his great great grandfather Jonathan Joestar, the illegitimate son of Joseph Josuke Higashikata (who is the original universe counterpart to the Josuke in Jojolion), Dio's son but a Joestar nonetheless Giorno Giovanna, Jotaro's grown up daughter Jolyne Cujoh and Josuke's ancestor in the SBR universe: Johnny Joestar. Additionally, new fighters that did not appear in Eyes of Heaven like the leader of La Squadra Risotto Nero and Jolyne's friend Foo Fighters appear. Together, they defeat a new army of manipulated stand users while also discovering previously unknown details about Dio's plan for Heaven.

After defeating all the stand users, the 8 Joestars (and Speedwagon) are suddenly transported to Florida where Pucci has appeared. Revealing that he has betrayed Dio in order to attain Heaven himself and that he erased Dio from existence itself, Pucci battles and almost defeats the Joestars before being written out of existence by an unknown force.

The Joestars instead of celebrating Pucci's defeat are confused and puzzled. The being that killed Pucci reveals themselves to be "the creator" of reality. The Joestars and their allies team up to battle the creator but are easily defeated. The creator then decides to wipe away everyone's memories so that none of them could remember what happened except Josuke (Jojolion). Since Josuke has a Corpse Part, he uses it to try and tell all the allies gathered along the way to varying degrees of success.

After completing this task, he and the Joestars are transported to an empty plain of existence where the creator reveals its own stand: '''Grand Watcher. Like before, Grand Watcher easily defeats everyone except Josuke who now has the power of all his allies' life energy to upgrade his stand Soft & Wet to Grande Soft & Wet.''' This stand ultimately erases Grand Watcher from reality but the being reminds the group that it truly cannot be defeated but that it loves each and every one of its creators. It then fades away and everyone returns to their own timelines.

In the end credits scene, Josuke and his friend Yasuho start a relationship with a shadow behind their backs hinting at the 9th part of the series.
