Censorship

Crunchyroll lightly censors the episodes of the anime, and mainly changes the script of the subtitles and episode titles. This is done to hide several name that in the original version refer to music bands albums and songs. For instance, Gold Experience is changed to Golden Wind or Crazy Diamond is changed into Shining Diamond. The voices in Japanese are not changed.

Otherwise, the Crunchyroll broadcast uses the censored TV versions of the episodes due to its simulcast. Thus, the most gory shots of the series are darkened, as well as specific details such as Jotaro's underage smoking. However, nudity is not censored.

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.
