Introduction
J-Starts Victory Vs is a team fighting game to celebrate 45 years of Sh?nen Jump. The characters are from various popular series that were/are published by Jump. Apart from the usual online and offline fighting modes, there's a story mode called J-Adventure where you will spend most of your time on the road to the platinum.
Walkthrough
Step 1 - Finish one Story Arc in J-Adventure mode + Quests + Treasure Maps + Karin Tower Challenges + Monsters & Enemy Ships + J-Customize
There are 4 Story Arcs to choose, although all of them are basically the same story just with different characters. Since you will use this first playthrough to do all the quests and grinding battles, pick the story arc with your favorite chars to play with since you will also use them for the ending battles of the other 3 story arcs
Story Arc Teams: (+ chars don't get EXP)
- Dynamic Arc: Luffy, Ace, Seiya (+ Boa Hancock)
- Hope Arc: Naruto, Yuusuke, Gon (+ Killua)
- Investigation Arc: Toriko, Goku, Zebra (+ Momotaro)
- Pursuit Arc: Ichigo, Oga, Hiei (+ Killua)
I also suggest to stick to only one of those characters to play, since he will be the one to get the most EXP. Always do all quests available before progressing in the story and, kill every new monster you see with your Ship's cannon (and kill more of them to reach 10 overall monster kills).
Access the J-Point Shop regularly (J????????) and look the what new wares it has available for J-Adventure&J-Customize (the option with the Memorial Ship), buy any ship's part that becomes available and install it. Also once in a while buy a treasure map (????) and hunt it, do this at least 10 times.
Make sure to battle 30 of the Mysterious Voices Ships (their ship is the same as your Memorial Ship), and 30 Dark Phantoms Ships. Although they are cumulative with your other playthroughs, you will speedrun the other 3 so do it here (specially the Mysterious Voices Ships, because they don't spawn in your cleared story arcs).
When Bronze Coins (???????) becomes available to buy, get some whenever possible and unlock both J-Stars Deck 01 A & B (J??????????A and J??????????B). You need to reach 100 cards (9 you will get from quests) and having that (or prior to that) customize your J-Stars Deck 01 and make 6 lines Combination Bonus with your cards. Only recommendation is to not buy Gold Coins (???????), at least not before you use your JP to unlock all characters (step 3).
As last thing to do on this first playthrough is The Karin Tower Challenges. They only get 2 enemies to fight around mid-story and more near end-story. Have at least 10 tickets (???????????) for it, the opponents here get very strong, they block and dodge a lot and their attacks takes a lot of your health, so be careful. Play and win at least 10 of those challenges, you can do more if you want to get more EXP.

Step 2 - Speedrun the other 3 Story Arcs
Now you can do the other story arcs, ignore anything that isn't a story quest. After a certain point in the story, the other teams will join your crew and then from this point onward start using the team you used in the first playthrough (not exactly a requirement). Each speedrun should take little less than 2h30.
IMPORTANT NOTE: after finishing all the story arcs, you can still continue any of them as you be placed right before the final boss part. Then you're still able to keep fighting Dark Phantoms Ships, hunt treasures, do the Karin Challenges, so don't choose to start again all of the 4 arcs if you are still missing some of those trophies. The only J-Adventure Trophy you can miss without doing this is the 30 Mysterious Voices Ships Battles, although they appear from the start of the story after the tutorial part (and are cumulative).
This step will unlock:
Step 3 - Unlock all Battle & Support Characters
You should have more than enough JP to unlock all of characters, access J-Point Shop and go through both Battle Characters and Support Characters options unlocking everyone there.
This step will unlock:

Step 4 - Victory Road mode
Conquer all areas in the Victory Road mode; the battles get tough by each new area you unlock. However you should be already very familiar with the game and play-style of your favorite characters that even the hardest difficulty will not pose a threat.
This step will unlock:

Step 5 - Battle Online mode
Play 20 battles online and make sure to win at least one.
Glitch Note: don't accept game invites, for example your friend is hosting and invites you to his game room, if you do that the game will not unlock the trophies when it should. I suggest to you always play as host or join quick matches while you are still hunting trophies. If you accepted a game invite and the trophies glitched, restart the game and try again (worst case scenario delete your save data and try again, make a backup of your save before hand).
This step will unlock:

Step 6 - Miscellaneous & Free Battle mode
Win 20 battles in Free Battle, and finish up any battle related trophy you're still missing.
If you still didn't got a J-Stars Card with 4 stars, now it's the time, you should already have access to Gold Coins and lots of JP for it; convert your gold coins into J-Stars Cards.
Finally edit one of the BGM options to another BGM or a custom song.
This step will unlock (many of these you probably already have by now):

Step 7 - Clean up
Any trophy still missing? Here is time to do it. If is something from J-Adventure, just continue any of the story arcs that you're still able to do most of the trophies.
