JoJo's Bizarre Adventures: Phantom Blood

Updated: Jan 8, 2021

Beginning its tale in 19th century England, young aristocrat Jonathan Joestar finds himself locked in bitter rivalry with Dio Brando, a low-born boy who Jonathan's father took under his wing after the death of Dio's father. Discontent with his station in life, Dio's fathomless lust to reign over all eventually leads him to seek the supernatural powers of an ancient Aztec stone mask in the Joestar's possession—an artifact that will forever change the destiny of Dio and Jonathan for generations to come.

On December 10, 2020 - December 14, 2020, I watched JoJo's Bizarre Adventures: Phantom Blood and holy shit was it fucking awesome and now and now after watching I know what all the fuss is about it and I finally decide to watch it after being recommended it by Anime Fans, My Friends, YouTube, so many fucking memes, and I played JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Roblox Game cause it was a game we could play together but before I played it I told Jack "I haven't watched any of JoJo's Bizarre Adventures so I don't want this game to spoil anything" and he said "don't worry it won't" so we played and the more I played the more interested I started to get interested in JoJo's Bizarre Adventures and I was so Interested I wanted to watch the Anime and its all thanks to this Roblox game but before watching it I need to watch it in chronological order and this is also known as JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures (Part 1) and Onto my anime review Part 1/ Part 10.


We start off in ENGLAND, 1868 and someone was in a collision and there is a man who is about to steal from Him and he finds a suitcase with a stone mask inside and the man who was in the collision is still alive but the baby is alive and the mother is dead and we are introduced to George Joestar (the man in the collision) and we are introduced to Dario Brando and George wants to thank the man about to steal from him I'm like “What in the actual fuck is this guy actually thanking a guy that was about to steal from him” and he asks for his name and I'm like “sure ask him his name so you can turn him in to the police for stealing” and we learn both George Joestar and Brando have kids aka Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando and The stone mask pops up with spikes and 12 Years Later We watch as Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando grow up and I realized Dio is a dick and Jonathan rescues Erines doll from a couple of jackasses but the jackasses beat him up and Dario wants Dio to go to the Joestar Mansion and Dario dies and Erine finds his handkerchief

Dio moves in with the Jostars and Dio meets Johnathan and I love his entrance and Dio kicks Johnathan’s Dog aka Danny and me and Johnathan are like “What in the actual fuck was that for that dog did nothing to you” and Dio lies to the father and Johnathan tries to help Dio unpack but Dio gets angry and I hate it when George is comparing Johnathan to Dio and Johnathan gets in a boxing match with Dio Brando and Dio dodges and beats him up and people are ignoring him so I feel bad for him and Erina brings some grapes and Johnathan hangs out a lot with Erina and Jonathan carves a love heart with their names and Dio is mad and Ernie runs into Dio and Dio kisses Erine which shocked me and another meme quote on the first episode

“You thought your first kiss would be with JoJo, But it was I Dio”

Erina runs away from Johnathan and Johnathan learns Dio did something to Erine and Johnathan barges into his house fucking pissed at Dio and Johnathan wants to fight Dio and Dio winds at first and Johnathan headbutts him I'm like “oooooooooooooooooof” and since Jonathan blood splatters on to the stone mask bringing it to life and George catches Jonathan beating and I notice there is a box inside an incinerator wondering what’s inside he lights the stuff on fire hearing banging coming from the box and later learning that Danny was inside that box that was in the incinerator and we both know who could have done this and Dio confesses to killing Danny and I recognized the ending music it was from that meme “To Be Continued.” We get our first opening and I fucking loved it ever time this song came on I would jam and sing to it and I vibed to this song so many times and I loved how it was animated no anime that I have known has never done a animated opening and It’s Seven Years Later, in 1888 and Jonathan is really grown up and he’s really buff playing a game of football even when tackled hes still moving which amazed me and throws the ball to Dio which surprised me because they are arch enemies and as usual Dio is an excellent dodger and Dio makes a touchdown and Im like “I feel like I’m missing something within those 7 years cause how the hell did they become friends” and we learn Jonathan doubts Dio and Dio still hates Jonathan‘s fucking guts” and Dio wants the Jostar fortune and George is becoming old and getting more sicker and George heard about their victory and I love Dios joke about the messager even I gave out a giggle and Jonathan is studying the stone mask and the stone mask comes alive to Jonathans blood and he finds a letter to Dario Brando and Jonathan learns his father had the symptoms as Dario from the letter and Dio swaps his meds for poison and Jonathan learns Dio is taking care of his father and Jonathan confronted Dio about it and Jonathan is going to have a doctor look at the powder but Dio stops him and Dio and Jonathan are friends no more and Jonathan wants Dio to swear in Darios name which pisses him off and punches Jonathan but Jonathan shows no sign off pain and Dio tries to poke his eye with his thumb but Dio prevents that and Jonathan just went supersain and throws him off the second floor and Jonathan leaves for an antidote for the poison and Dio finds out about the stone mask and Dio steals the mask and Jonathan in that outfit reminds me of Sherlock Holmes and Jonathan is going into Ogre Street and we learn it’s the most dangerous alleyway of all of London and he knows about that but this is the only place with the antadoite and Jonathan runs into bad guys and the first one to lunge at him with a knife but Jonathan grabes his blade and they exchange their tactics and punches him and the last member a man with a scar and a top hat and turns out the brim of his top hat has blades on the brim of the hat and it’s a flying hat and Jonathan gets the hat with the blade brim stuck in his chest and Jonathn kicks the guy and why he wasn’t defending himself better and rips the hat out and Jonathan is surrounded by bad guys and Dio learns about Jonathan in Orge Street and the guy stops the others from hurting him and Jonathan is wondering why and the man knows Jonathan spared his life and this reminds me of a quote from Second Hand Lion.


“Twice I have held your life in my hands. And twice I have given it back to you. The next time... Your life is mine!” -Young Hub

Jonathan makes it clear he came here for his father and the guy wants to know the name of the person who spared him and Jonathan introduces himself to this guy and Dio is out drinking just like his father and runs into guys who he beats up and tests the mask by putting it on the other guy and comes to life as Dio is walking away and the mask comes off him revealing his pale face and he starts sucking Dio’s blood and the man is killed by sunlight and Dio returns to a pitch-black dark mansion the darkness covering everything and Jonathan lights the candles and confronts him of being a poisoner *To Be Continued Music Playing*. Jonathan has found all the proof and the awesome opening starts and I’m jamming to it and signing along and Jonathan found the antidote and gave it to his father and Dio tries to put on the good guy act and I bought it I'm like “he might be a Scrooge a bad guy in the beginning and slowly becomes a good guy” and the guy from the alleyway is here and we get introduced to him Robert E. O. Speedwagon I'm like finally “we get a name for him I thought during this show I would have to call him the guy from the alleyway or the guy with a scar and a tophat” and Speedwagon tells Jonathan that Dio pure evil to the bones and Speedwagon brought the guy who selled him the poison and he confessed to it and the father was behind the curtains listening to every word and Dio takes out the mask and a knife and I thought Dio stayed Jonathan but it turns out George was the one who got stabbed sacrificing himself for Jonathan I'm like “NOOOOOOOOOOO!” and with the blood of George on the stone mask it's activated and they shoot Dio and Dio is dead and Jonathan is at his fathers side as he dies and a man tells the story of Dario Brando and George dies in Jonathan's arms and Dio’s body is gone and I'm like “What in the actual fuck what happened to the body did someone drag away the body while they weren't looking” and that man gets decapitated and Dio is still alive and Speedwagon shots him in the head but he is still standing I'm like “so when he put on that stone mask he became immortal well that fucking sucks or he is a T-800” and Dio kills all of the officers and Jonathan gets a spear and the dead officer come back to life as zombies and Jonathan saves Speedwagon from the zombie and the spear goes through Dio's hand and he caught it and the hole Speedwagon shot at him healed up and Dio puts the spear in his shoulder and Jonathan disappeared and Dio finds a puddle of blood behind a curtain and behind the curtain is a fire and the curtain gets put over Dio we hear his screams and while Dio is in the flames he is able to heal himself and Jonathan learns fire hurts him and Jonathan pushes Speedwagon away and takes a sword stands on the pommel of the sword which he boosted himself up to a ledge and gets up on of the floors and Jonathan inviting Dio to come at him waiting for him and the flames exploded pushing Speedwagon out of the mansion thought the window and Dio starts walking up just like in the opening wondering if the opening spoiled anything me and Jonathan on the roof and Dio comes out from behind and Jonathans life flashes before his eyes and Jonathan knocks Dio inside the house going along with Dio and Dio kicks him off and Dio puts his hand in the wall while Jonathan is falling and I'm like “No you can't die here you still have six episodes to go so you can't die here and don't die on me now” and Jonathan grads the spear a puts it in the wall to hold him I'm like “Phew, I knew he wouldn't die” and Jonathan stands on the spear boosting him up and using his belt to grab to Dios leg and pulls Dio down and Jonathan stabs Dio with the knife used to kill George and as falling Jonathan asks for his father's power and Jonathan kicked and Dio gets impaled by the statue of the Joestar families guardian angel and Dio burns alive along with the mansion and Jonathan makes out alive and the mask is still in one piece and Dio is alive. The opening is fucking awesome every time this opening comes on I will always state how great it is no mater what and Speedwagon is in a cast with a cane and we see someone taking car of him I'm like “wait I recognize that faces is that Erina” and Jonathan wakes up even Jonathan recognized her and the girl admits to being Erina I'm like “who fucking called it this guy” and Jonathan catches Erina with his broken arm and back in Whitechapel, London Jack the Ripper is killing a women when he is recruited by Dio and Jonathan returns to the mansion in rubble and Jonathan notices a man watching him and that same man appears in front of them eating a sandwich and he already knows there names and he attacks them and Jonathans arm repaird itself I'm like “we got a wizard” and the man introduces himself Baron Zeppeli and Jonathan arm lifted a rock without any pain and the Zeppeli disappeared then reappeared behind him and at a lake Zeppeli breathes in and out and electric sparks surrounding him and the ripples in the water amazed me I'm like “how in the actual fuck is he doing that” and punches the rock with the frog on it and breaks the rock but the frog wasn't killed I was confused I'm like “how in the actual fuck did he do that does he have super speed and he made his hand phase through the frog hitting the rock” and we learn what he used was Sendo created by harmony and Zeppeli tells him that Dio is still alive and Jonathan is shock by this news and it's Jonathans destiny to destroy the mask and kill Dio and Erina doesn't understand what he is talking about and Jonathan makes a tree branche bloom and back at Dios castle Dio is sucking blood from humans and we learn Zeppeli’s history with the stone mask and it's a really sad story and learn what hamon is and how the stone mask work and have a plan to overlord Dio and I learn Dio is a vampire which made a lot of sense and Jonathan wants Zeppeli to teach him how to use Hamon and Jonathan tries punch Zeppeli but Zeppeli strikes first I'm like “there is no way he could of hit him from that far what is he Mr. Fantastic being able to stretch his arms and we learn that was Zoom Punch and he must maintain the rhythm of his breath and Speedwagon and we learn at Windknight’s lot there is a string of disappearance and both Zeppeli and Speedwagon agree to give him hell and the carriage stops and the driver and horses were killed and Jack the Ripper emerges from the neck of the decapitated horse and Zeppeli pours himself of a glass of wine and Jack the Ripper barricades them in and Zeppeli didne'teven spill the glass of wine Jack the Rippers body is covered from head to toe with knives coming out his skin and when Zeppeli attacks Jack the Ripper his wine never spilled which just amazed me my mouth just dropped and Zeppeli hands the glass of wine over to Jonathan and Zeppeli makes it clear if Jonathan spills Zeppeli will abandon him and Jack the Ripper appears out of nowhere and hits Johnathan and Jonathan didn't spill the glass and Jonathan throws the torch away because it gives away his position so Jonathan walking blind and Jonathan knows where Jack the Ripper with the help of the ripple in the wine and Jonathan kills Jack the Ripper. They arrive in Windnights Lot and a boy snatches Speedwagons suitcase launching himself into the lake and both Jonathan and Zeppeli make it over the lake and the kid is climbing up the mountain but Jonathan knocks the kid down with Harmon and the kid is confused on what happend turns out they are in a graveyard and we learn the kid was hypnotized by Dio and the sunsets and Speedwagon points out Dio and the zombies come to life trying to attack them and we learn the kids name is Poco and Jonathan follows Zeppeli and Zeppeli finally meets Dio in person and Zeppeli challenges Dio and turns out all the scares from the battle with Jonathan except one and Zeppeli takes on Dio and Dio freezes Zeppeli’s hand and as Dio is going to break Zeppeli’s other hand Jonathan interferes and putting his hand in between them and Dio is about to freeze Jonathan’s arm but before that happens Zeppeli sacrifices his leg and Jonathan’s hand is cold as ice but Zeppeli has it much worse and we are introduced to Bruford and Tarkus and Jonathan is their main target and Speedwagon heals Zeppeli and Jonathan uses Zoom Punch and while Bruford's hair his sucking blood Jonathan can't use Harmon and while Jonathan is hold down Tarkus takes out his sword to slay him we learn their backstory and why the way they are and it's really sad and Jonathan uses Scarlet Overdrive which breaks the hair and it's a 1v1 Jonathan vs Bruford and his hair wields the blade and it takes Jonathan off guard and Jonathan can't use Harmon underwater cause he can't breathe but Bruford is at a disadvantage and Jonathan swam further down into the abyss for trapped oxygen. and Jonathan uses Underwater turquoise blue overdrive. Which is effective and hits him and the opening interupts the awesome 1v1 and we return and so far Bruford is winning and Jonathan takes off Bruford's arm using Harmon and Jonathan does Sunlight Yellow Overdrive I'm like “fuck yes this is what I have been waiting for multiple fast punches” this made me very happy and as Bruford is about to decapitate Jonathan that same Jonathan stands still I'm like “what the fuck are you doing Jonathan he is about to decapitate you at least do something” I'm starting to panic with shivers down my spine and Bruford stops at the last second giving a breath of relief but also wondering “why did Bruford stop” and the pain Bruford forgot came back and the reason Jonathan didn't dodge was because Jonathan sensed good in Bruford and Bruford is slowly dying and Bruford has no bitterness left and Jonathan gives his name so Bruford knew the person that bested him and Bruford gives his sword to Jonathan with the word “LUCK” engraved in it and Bruford cuts himself using his blood to put a “P” now called “PLUCK” and Bluford melts away and Tarkus crushed the armor of Bruford which is very mean of him and Tarkus splits the ground and they use leaves as a glider and we learn how Zeppeli learned about Harmon and we meet his teacher and Tarkus jumped from that height just to catch up and they land and Tarkus is still alive and both Tarkus and Jonathan enter the castle and Jonathan is captured by Tarkus and that chain is attached to both of them and the door closes behind them and Zeppeli fist are bleeding and they have the key to each others collar and Tarkus kicks Jonathan and Poco wets his pants and Poco found a narrow way in and we get a flashback of Pocos past and we meet Poco’s sister and everyone is against this idea of Poco entering and true to get him out but fail and Poco makes it in and Tarkus kicks Poco and we are all scared and Poco pushes the lever opening the door and Zeppeli talks out the night he goes to his grave. TIBET, 1863, Zeppeli and we finally meet Tompetty and Tompetty tells how he dies “In an ancient chamber hidden from the light and reeking of death a child shall open the way for you to unchain a young lion and release him into the future of his destiny you will burn your own wounds then freely open your arms to the rule death that awaits you” and for me this made so much sense the dots were connecting in my mind it made sense he would talk about his life coming to an end and as Tarkus tries to punch Zeppeli he dodges every blow as Zeppeli tries to do Tornado Overdrive Tarkus disappears and reappears behind him and Tarkus gets Zeppeli chained up and as the chains begin to get tighter the chains split Zeppeli in half I’m like “Noooo he can’t die not now” I bursted into tears crying from his death but that lowered Jonathan and Tarkus believes their death and Jonathan is still alive and Tarkus notices this and Zeppeli reaches out for Jonathan and Zeppeli gives Jonathan his ultimate technique making Zeepeli old and both me and Speedwagon are tearing up and Jonathan is suffocating Tarkus and Jonathan is fucking piss and Jonathan rips off the collar “now thats a lot of damage” and Jonathan is fucking pissed and Jonathan kills Tarkus I’m like “Revenge is a dish best served cold” and Zeppeli is alive for a few moments and he wants him to pull himself together and wants him to go on and Zeppeli dies which is really sad I started tearing up and Dio turns a women into a vampire and she eats her child and they return to Poco’s village and Mr. Adam turns out to be a vampire with a long tongue and as Mr. Adam tongue is about to reach Poco Jonathan intercept the tongue and reaveales his real self and Jonathan kills him and a man comes out the darkness and we learn his name is Dire and Jonathan fights Dire and avoids Dire’s thundersplit attack by headbutting him which surprised me and we learn he is human and apologize s and the reason he attacked was he wanted to see how well Zeppeli trained him and we meet Straizo and we finally meet Tompetty aka Zeppeli and the others are introduced to him and we learn Dio has Poco’s sister. Poco’s father slaps him and we learn his sister was out looking for him and the opening has perfect timing as Poco screams at Dios mansion Dio has Poco’s sister and she slaps him and Dubi is going to devour her but Jonathan drops an anvil on him and we learn hi face is full of poison cause he got bitten and he squeezed out the poison and he turns them aginst their master and Jonathan opens the door to find Dio on the balcony and Dio is surprised he is alive and this is a rematch but Dio is not going easy and Jonathan is consumed by vengeance and Dire wants to avenge his friend killing and he uses Thundercross split attack on Dio which fails cause his body turns to ice and shatters him to a million pieces only leaving his head and torso intact and Dire dies and Speedwagon hands “PLUCK” to Jonathan and fills it with Harmon and Straizo and Tompetty handle the zombies while Jonathan goes for Dio and then they “FIGHT” and throws roses at him and cuts of one of his arms and then slicing him down the middle and gets stuck his sword freezes him and Dio sucks his blood and Turns out his sword is in the fire while melts the ice and Jonathan pulled it out and Dio cuts off the middle off the sword and Jonathan uses Sunlight Yellow Overdrive and Dio frezzes his arm and Dio repairers himself and Jonathan squeezed out the vampire essence and wants to continue battleing and Jonathan puts fists in fire and it breaks through Dio punching a hole in him and Dio shot a laser out of his eye and Dio is knocked off the balcony and I start jumping up and down in happiness and joy and Jonathan is worn out I would be too probably and I love how Speedwagon cries out to Zeppeli I bursted into tears and when it said “To Be Continued” I was confused cause what else could their be Jonathan killed Dio unless Dio didn’t Die. We watch as Dio falls but his head is the only thing that is falling because it became detached and the person who smelled the poison to Dio finds Dio’s head and he is still alive on the other hand and Speedwagon destroyed the mask and the final opening has sfx which made it even cooler and this is the opening for Part 1 and Jonathan and Erina get married and Speedwagon gets their to say goodbye and Father Styx is on a mission to Mexico and a man hears a person breathe inside a coffin Im like “I bet you Dio’s head is in their” and they say goodbye to Jonathan and on the boat Erina finds a bird calling out for its mate and there mate finds them which made both me and Erina cry because it's so hartwarming to see are reunion and Jonathan sees Erina cying and Jonathan bangs his head because he is so tall I can relate to that being a tall man myself and I banged my head multiple times and Father Styx dropped his cross while drunk and while at dinner eating Jonathan sees the man who sold Dio the poison which shocked him and Jonathan nows Dio is alive and wants Erina to go to their cabin and lock the door while Jonathan chases after the man and Jonathan shows that Dios head is in bottle and it was storedt in he coffin and Jonathan sees Dio and turns out Dio wants the body of Jonathan and Dio shoots laser eyes through his hand into his neck and Dio recognized Erina and everyone has been turned into zombies and Jonathan his last bit of harmon on the man and Dio’s head is floating in the air and Jonathan wants the ship to explode and Jonathan holds Dio tight as they die together and Dio wants him to realise him but he is dead I burst into tears as I read “Jonathan Joestar Died February 7, 1889 and the ship explodes but out at sea a coffin holds Erina and the random baby and the narrator basically says “this

story inst over” which surprised me.
