Can You Start Mid-Series?
Parts 4 and 5 are somewhat accessible entry points — but Part 3 contains major Dio payoff. At only 9 episodes, Part 1 is too short to justify skipping. Starting from the beginning is always the better choice.
Part 1 = 9 Episodes
There's no reason to skip it. Dio's context makes Part 3 infinitely more satisfying.
Each Part Feels Different
If you don't connect with Part 1, don't drop the series — Parts 2–5 have completely different tones.
