Faithful here

The show stays close to the book here, with nothing major changed, cut, or invented.

Unusually tidy to map: the anime adapts one Part at a time, in order, and each season ends where a Part ends. Answers here are given as PARTS rather than chapter numbers on purpose. JoJo's chapters run continuously across the early Parts but the count restarts later in the run, and published sources disagree about the seams, so a chapter number would be the least reliable way to say this. Parts are also how the books are actually sold, so 'start Part 4' is both safer and easier to act on.
