Reception

The film was received negatively by fans and Araki himself during its initial theatrical release and was never released on home media. No official information was released regarding the film's circumstances, though many Japanese fans who saw it have boycotted the film due to how poorly it adapted Phantom Blood. The main reasons include:

• Robert E. O. Speedwagon was presented as a minor villian, having been defeated at Ogre Street and never mentioned again.
• The characters Poco, Dire, and Straizo were also not featured. Naturally, this means that Jonathan was alone during his final battle with Dio.
• The concept of Hamon was not explained clearly.
• The movie was considered too short (Approx. 90 minutes), condensed, and basically "destroyed the original story".
