In May 2008, Shueisha halted manga shipments of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure after a complaint had been launched against them from an Egyptian cleric, after noticing a scene in the OVAs that had the villain, Dio Brando, reading a book depicting pages from the Qur'an.[1] Even though the manga did not feature that specific scene, Shueisha had Araki redraw scenes that depicted characters fighting on top of, and destroying, mosques.[1]

Chapter 136 (Tailpiece)
In initial prints of Volume 62, Guido Mista's name was spelt "Kuido Mista" on his character information profile. It was corrected in later reprints and releases.

In 2020, Hirohiko Araki altered the inking on one of the female inmates in Stone Ocean chapter 5, and the banana she is eating was redrawn into a sandwich to avoid allusions to racial caricatures and blackface. This change was published in Shueisha's reprinted tankobons of volume 1 in Japan, Ivrea's Spanish release, and VIZ Media's digital chapter in 2022 and volume release in 2023.
