Blood Sun Vendetta is a fan-made original motion comic series by Mick Lauer, taking place in Mexico, 1999. The not for profit passion project has been in progress since late 2017, and officially covered by Mick on his YouTube channel in early 2018. In his video, he explained how he had spent 8 days on a continuous road trip across the country of Mexico to gather reference photographs as well as other material. The project would be an endeavor that would requite months of work and as of December 2020, The first chapter of the series has been released.
According to a user on an old JoJo community forum[2], a group of Chinese students was responsible for the scans. They were translated from Japanese to Chinese to English as part of a school project, in which they almost failed. However, as a result of their actions, the translations remained on the internet, eventually becoming a meme and receiving the name "Duwang", as it was the Chinese reading of the characters for Morioh Town used in the translations
I was one of the guys who worked on a few chapters of Part 1, Part 2, and Steel Ball Run with Ignition-One. Originally I found about Jojo via the anime which was posted on a forum I frequented, found a link to the original Part 3 translation on the Higher Voltage forum, and then decided I would try and help out by translating one of the chapters. Some of the people at Higher Voltage wanted to do as much Jojo as possible so they started dividing up the parts. I picked Part 4 since no one else really chose it. Nothing really came from the other parts except maybe the translations of Part 5 (maybe, it's been a long time).Anyway, I bought a bunch of books, scanned them, and tried to get the creator of the website DBZ Uncensored (if you're familiar) to help me. He did a few pages and flaked so I began posting everywhere for help with translating. Nothing really came of it until I got an IM on AIM from a person who said he knew a guy who would do it. I offered to send him my scans but he said it wasn't necessary and this guy had everything he would need.
I didn't think much of it since the guy wouldn't let me talk to him directly and the first guy dropped off the face of the earth. Lo and behold, a few weeks later that guy gets online and sends me a .rar of the entire first volume.
I remember being pretty blown away that he actually came through. I was less than impressed by the quality of the scans, editing, and translation but I figured it was better than nothing so what the hell. I remember giving pointers on what was supposed to be what. I distinctly remember telling the middleman for this guy that "Duwang" was supposed to be Morioh. The middleman explained to me this guy was translating from the Chinese version so that's probably where the confusion came from. He was hesitant about giving the guy advice on how to translate at all since A) obviously the guy's first language wasn't English and he didn't want to miscommunicate and offend him and B) the pace he was outputting these were insane.
I literally would get 5 or 6 volumes a week from this guy whenever I would sign on AIM randomly. I mean Jojo Part 4 was the longest part (before Steel Ball Run) and this guy completed in maybe a month. I mean, the quality was shit, but again one guy was doing it all by himself. I offered to just take his translations and paste them on the page (while cleaning up the broken English unbeknownst to him) but I remember the middleman telling me it was easier for him to translate.
It's probably for the best because apparently there's a mini-fan culture around the already tiny Jojo translation that likes how terrible the translation was at times.
- The most famous quotes from the "Duwang" translations include:
- "My nam is, (u dont need to remember) Guanglai Kangyi, age 15, the past month for me is, only graduation tests. the entrance into high-school brings really exciting and worrying days. till i met these 2 very special guys......" —Koichi Hirose

- "Don't be dong....." —Okuyasu Nijimura

- "ABAJ" (A recurring Chinese hanzi symbol from the same team, 啊, is typically used either as an expression of shock or surprise, or the Chinese equivalent to "DORARARARARA" style battle cries.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The 7th Stand User is a fan game created by clayman_nendo/NendoTairiku in 2006 made with RPG Maker 2000[4]. The game is an RPG that takes place during Stardust Crusaders in a what-if scenario where a custom character joins the crusaders on their journey to Egypt in order to kill DIO. The player is given 1 of 18 different Stands by a mysterious benefactor known only as "Steel", based on answers to a personality quiz given at the beginning of the game from Muhammad Avdol.
The player is then given the ability to name themselves, their nickname, and their catchphrase. The character leaves home and goes to school. During this point of the game, the player can fight enemies placed throughout the map in a turn based battle where they could level up and get stronger. Every map contains secrets containing references to other parts of JoJo. Interacting with the crusaders increases a "Friend Point" value. The game follows the source material but allows the player to make choices that would diverge the story's events.
There are many endings that can be obtained in the game, with some relying on the player's actions during the story like the amount of Friend Points the player has with the crusaders and their Stand. After completing the game, the player is transported into a "Secret Room" where they could spend Honor Badges which are found throughout the game. The Honor Badges can be exchanged for features such as "New Game+", "Star Platinum: The World" which allows Jotaro to use his time stopping ability on New Game+ saves, and "Josuke Story Mode" which replaces the player character with Josuke from Diamond is Unbreakable. Getting 99 badges will earn the player an item that can be equipped named "Deus Ex Machina" which prevents ailments and critical hits, halves SP use, halves every type of damage, and also gives the character 500 points added to all stats.[5]All Star Battle: Over Heaven is a gameplay overhaul mod for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle developed by Xemasklyr that adds many more gameplay options such as new Stand Rush moves, new combos, and many character adjustments.

Diamond Records: Revival is a fan project based on the original Diamond Records mobile app, which hopes to recreate the now defunct game for PC using a combination of ripped and unqiue assets.
As of December 2020, the project is still in progress, with development footage showing promising results regarding Menus and user interfaces, as well as general gameplay movement. The project is intended to start at Phantom Blood and implement the rest of the series in chronological order. Unique to Revival's gameplay is the addition of custom-built characters that were not present in the original game, such as Doobie and Adams.
It is important to mention, however, that while Revival is greatly influenced and inspired by the original mobile app, the project also takes quite a few liberties in order to fully optimize it as a Computer-based game.Examples of said game corruptions include audio playing randomly during cutscenes or gameplay as well as textures, models, and images being swapped, edited or overlaid on top of each other. Whole new scenes intended just for the series are also added, either as a quick gag or to cover an event from the manga not present in the original game.
Ever since its publication, scenes from the playthrough have been referenced in various fan art, cosplay, and MADs throughout the fan community. Arguably, the most famous and referenced of these corruptions is the top of Bruno Bucciarati's hair being recolored to the same color of his skin, making him appear bald.Project JoJo is an Online fan game made in Roblox by MlgArcOfOz that has continued to retain it popularity in the community since its debut in August, 2018. As of November 11th, 2020, the game has gained over 124.4 Million visits[6].
As an online game, Project JoJo allows up to 20 players concurrently to interact with each other and the environment in an open sandbox. Maps are based off of locations from the series such as the town of Morioh and Italy.
Actual gameplay revolves around a luck and lottery based system, with items around the map having different uses and effects on the players. Stands from the series are divided into power scaled "Tiers" listed 1-7, with each tier conatining more powerful Stands. Throughout the game's many updates nearly every Stand from the series is obtainable, including the currently ongoing, JoJolion]. Players can obtain these stands through sheer luck from items such as the "Stand Arrow", though the more powerful the Stand the rarer it is for a player to obtain. After obtaining a Stand, the map is open-riegn, leaving players to seek out NPCs and bosses based off of characters from the series, search for hidden items, or even engage in Player Versus Player (PVP) combat. NPCs (Non-Player-Characters) have many different uses depending on the interaction. For example the Enrico Pucci NPC will allow the player to store and later fuse stands, with the usage of the "Stone Rokakaka" item".
An economy system is also featured with "Cash Bundle" items spread out through the map that allows players to purchase certain items instead of having to seek them out in the map.Arguably, one of the most iconic M.U.G.E.N characters, Ronald McDonald is a custom character originally made by Japanese modder, Kishio, circa 2007. The character is famous for its custom A.I, known to be brutally difficult and unpredictable, often stringing long and high damaging combos both in the air and on the ground.
Ronald McDonald takes many redrawn sprite animations and inspiration from DIO and Jotaro Kujo from Heritage for the Future, with many moves and specials boiling down to parodied versions.
Notable Community Groups
The spark for the search began around April, 2019, when a comment by Andy Sadler on a video essay detailing the lost film mentioned how he had been researching tracking down the film. It was then that soon more and more community members came together to archive any form of promotional material and potential remains of the film. The most infamous lead that the film still exists in it's entirety is a 16 minute long compliation clip that was supposedly used as a workprint at the Academy of Art University for students to practice sound design and was later leaked online.
Some of the most notable finds include 64 Model sheets[7] from the production of the film found and scanned by FrostiFuzionz_. Not to mention a 2004 Test Pilot that was discovered by Red Mango and restored by Notelu.
The main goal of the archive group is to searching and archiving material relating to the film in the hopes of finding the entire film one day. They have also advocated for any sort of support or officla release of the lost film by Shueisha.
