Censorship
Crunchyroll lightly censors the episodes of the anime, and mainly changes the subtitles and episode titles. This is done to hide several names that in the original version are references to music bands, albums and songs. Most of them are carried over from the games JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven (e.g. Gold Experience to Golden Wind or Crazy Diamond to Shining Diamond), though there are some instances where Crunchyroll will either create new names (e.g. Black Sabbath to Shadow Sabbath), or not use censors at all (e.g. Jean Pierre Polnareff's name being unchanged). The voices in Japanese are not altered. Legally troubling names written out on-screen are sometimes re-typed or completely removed.

Aside from season one, which was added to the service after the blu-rays for it were already fully released, Crunchyroll will generally use the censored TV versions of the episodes due to its simulcast with Japan. As a result, many of the gory shots in the series, as well as specific details such as Jotaro's underage smoking, are darkened. Certain seizure-inducing scenes such as Stand barrages are also blurred.

Stardust Crusaders
The "Oingo Boingo" part of the title that's seen on Tohth was censored and removed entirely; however, there are some scenes where it is left unchanged.
